[OOC] Meme time!
Okay, folks, another meme! It's one I've been pondering for a while, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that has come across this so...
Characters You'd Like to Play But Can't/Find Difficult to Because...Basically, you tell us a character you've considered play but would find difficult to impossible to play because of some sort of limitation- ( Read more... )

Sooraya "Dust" Qadir from X-men. Again, I have a journal and even an application written, but the character is a devout Sunni Muslim and even reading up on their belief system, it's so far away from what I'm familiar with that I'd feel like an asshole for screwing it up. It's a huge part of who she is, and it'd feel shitty to me to get it wrong.
Randall Graves from the View Askewniverse. He's entirely too dependent on pop culture references, and I'd have no good way to play him without breaking the fourth wall any number of times.
Ignatius J. Reilly from A Confederacy of Dunces. While it'd be hilarious to have a misanthropic medievalist slob decrying everything and everyone at Hogwarts, I'm only about a hundred pages into the book :-P
Dex-Starr the kitty Red Lantern from DC's Blackest Night events. For one thing, he's a cat who doesn't talk and vomits red horribleness onto people. And for another, I haven't even been keeping up with this event.
Post-rabbit Mr. Bun Pauly Bruckner from the Vertigo comic series "The Unwritten." He's a guy trapped in an insipid children's book as a rabbit, and... the majority of his appeal comes from contrasting him to the brainless sugary creations of the rest of the book's cast. If he was rescued from what happens at the end of the issue, he'd just be a foul-mouthed rabbit in a waistcoat with a person trapped inside. (Incidentally, look! It was kind of a side trip from the main action, but The Unwritten as a whole is so worth checking out.) Along with that, Tommy Taylor from the same series. It'd be amusing to see him, possibly the inspiration for a Harry Potter expy, be chucked into actual Harry Potter, but so much of the comic revolves around meta and it'd just be impossible to deal with.
Remy the rat from Ratatouille. First off, I don't know nearly enough about cooking in general and French cooking in specific. Secondly, while he can talk in the movie, he can't talk to humans, so... I dunno.

Yeah, I've had an application written for them for years, and while I really want to see what they'd do at Hogwarts post series' end (ESPECIALLY with some information regarding Blind Seer in the last book), it seems kind of cruel to bring them to a place where transformation magic is possible without blood sacrifices. (I'll admit, I've entertained the idea of having Blind Seer get a hold of that potion we had for the cast of Cats years ago that turned them human--but I think that would actually up the angst rather than decrease it since Firekeeper has the weirdest case of body dysmorphia that I've ever heard of and is pretty much not at all attracted to humans.)
I'll admit, it would take the absolute least amount of persuasion to actually bring them in. I've been considering waiting until the end of the summer, with the rationale that I can pop them if it becomes too dramallama.

I've got to finish that series. Maybe after I finish the Deathstalker books. Provided you don't enable me to something else first. :P
