Things Liza's Characters Are No Longer Allowed To Do
My f'list has been momentarily taken over again by links to various fictional versions of Skippy's List - and while I could just grab a favourite fandom character and make a list (The 101 Things Jones and Brown Are Not Allowed To Do appeals strongly) I instead was inspired in a different direction. I don't know about you guys, but the inhabitants of my head have a severe discipline problem. Fic and RPG characters alike run off and do things I in no way condone. And since the joke of Skippy's list is that everything on it has been done at least once (or somebody thought he might do it) I thought hey, it's time to lay down the law, and entertain my freinds a little, too.
(NOTE: Some of these things havn't "happened" yet, as they refer to things that have been plotted for fics but not written. So some of this is vaugely spoilery. You've been warned.)
The 23 (and counting) Things Liza's Characters Are No Longer Allowed To Do in Her Head, Her Games, or Her Fic
(NOTE: a lot of these things were actually quite fun and enhanced the stories in question - and I don't actually object morally to a lot of it. I just wish they'd ask permission, or something...)
1. Not allowed to name myself after a country singer.
2. Especially not if I'm an elvin Bard.
3. Not allowed to be a Hermaphrodite.
4. Especially not if I'm a LARP character
5. Especially especially not if I'm a Get of Fenris.
6. Not allowed to be Get of Fenris - Liza's bad at it.
7. Not allowed to fall in love with other PCs
8. Especially not same-sex PCs
9. Not allowed to sacrifice own life for object of unrequited love.
10. Not allowed to insist on being identified as adopted race instead of birth race.
11. Especially not if I'm a Kobold who was adopted by Halflings. Cut people some slack, already.
12. Not allowed to be Kobold adopted by Halflings - it confuses people.
13. Not allowed to devellop multiple personality disorder.
14. Especially not if other personality is based on an Aqua song.
15. Even if my tiwn brother did it too.
16. "My (twin) brother did it too" is not an excuse for anything, up to and including: murder, psychosis, vampirism, exsessive giggling, flipping off the Borg, using my Q powers for frivolous reasons, building a-thing-that-blows-up-when-you-touch-it, being an obnoxious little skater punk, calling Captain Smith "Captain Dad sir", calling Jeremiah Smith "Jerry", taunting the Merovingean and/or his goons, attacking Scorpius, sacrificing my life to bring someone back from the dead, getting obscenely drunk when I'm supposed to be watching my baby cousin, kicking Noranti, overwriting my Agent programming, falling in love with a human woman because she loves me, talking to cats, faking my death, and general plot derailment.
17. Not allowed to attepmt to re-create my dead wife as an AI.
18. When I fail to re-create my dead wife as an AI, I will not assume this means that I as an AI have no soul.
19. Not allowed to call The Architect "Dad".
20. Not allowed to blame myself for anything that happens when I am possessed, hypnotized, mind-controlled, mind-cleansed, or otherwise not in controll of myself.
21. Not allowed to turn someone into the most dangerous sociopath in the history of the world by removing his ability to empathise in the interest of "curing" him of the malfunction called "love".
22. My chest cavity is not a good place to hide a baby.
23. Jedi Padawans are no match for undead Sith Lords.
There's actually a ton more to this list but due to ENDLESS F*CKING INTERRUPTIONS I just don't have the time or patience to do any more right now. I'll be adding to this in the near future.
