OOC: Yeah yeah, bandwaggon it is.

[pastmewrong]

I was going to be lazy and not do this since I don't have any newbies... then I remembered that there are a few important additions/warnings I should probably make since the last update. THANKS, Skins. ILU. >.>

(... Okay, so I was never going to be able to resist the excuse to babble about my kids. Shuddup, Tracy.)


Chuck Bartowski (knowsnokungfu)
Chuck: "Maybe we should be introduced, I'm Chuck Bartowski: total loser, cheeseball addict."

• Is from the TV show Chuck! Which is an awesome fun little show that deserves far more love than it gets. It focuses on... strangely enough, Chuck! Who goes and gets a bunch of government secrets stuffed into his brain and drama and comedy ensues. My boy, however, is pre-canon, and knows none of this.
  
• Fifteen, about 5'10" (eventually he will get to about 6'4"), lanky, and the younger brother of awesomebigsis. Same universe and everything. He spent the summer she started here at home with their kind of nutso, paranoid and decidedly flaky father, and then started at FH in the fall.
  
• Since then their father has completely taken off and left Ellie and him alone. Hello thar, Daddy/abandonment issues!
  
• He is a little bit of a nerd.
  
• ... Okay, he's a lot of a nerd. In that adorable and dorky way that just makes you love him to pieces and want to ruffle his hair and take him home.
  
• The boy can BABBLE. Especially when he's nervous. It happens a lot around pretty girls and scary people. Doubly so around pretty girls who are also scary people. He runs into that more than you might imagine.
  
• Also a hopeful little romantic, even if it rarely works out well for him. By rarely works out well, I mean in canon he usually ends up with a gun against his head. Aw, Chuck.
  
• Quite simply, he's a sweet, funny guy, and a little too trusting and naive for his own good. He thinks the best of everyone
  
• One of these days he'll end up with that government supercomputer in his noggin and get embroiled in a life full of spies, danger and conspiracies. One day!
  
• I need to get him out and interacting more! Still.
  
  
• For those of you who don't watch and don't know: Chuck NBC Promo, and have a Chuck Sandwich. <3
  

Effy Stonem (pastmewrong)
Effy: "Oh for chrissakes. I'll sort out your fucking soap opera... Just this once."

• Sixteen, a junior, 5'7", and another lanky brunette, this time from British TV show Skins. Of all mine, she's the complicated one to explain.
  
• Enigmatic, misanthropic and aloof, she's known for 'shadowy ways', and doesn't like getting close to people because 'they fuck you up'... So she smirks and snarks and will generally pretend she really doesn't give a shit.
  
• Posterchild for Fille Fatale. TV Tropes have a big picture of her on the page and everything. There's a reason so many of her icons are dirrrty.
  
• At the moment that side of things is all limited to one guy. Shut up. They do not call it dating, and no they will not admit there are a lot of complicated feelings involved there.
  
• Is a little manipulative, a lot secretive, taciturn, and has a lot of trouble dealing with (and admitting she actually HAS) emotions. She likes to think she's independent, completely emotionally unflappable, and needs no one.
  
• This is a big fat lie, and she is softening up, slowly but surely. Shh.
  
• She is smart, but she hides it well, and finds reading people and situations a lot easier than actually dealing with the emotional side.
  
• The girl does smoke, drink, swear and do drugs with absolutely no qualms. She'll also encourage other people in any of those activities. A good influence, she is not.
  
• She has her reasons for this excessive substance reliance, those being some pretty major mental health problems, and the only way she knows to deal with that is by muting everything. It's the sort of issue that comes and goes in episodes (for example, the hallucinogenic fog kicked off a break) but for the most part she keeps it well hidden. Telepaths, Jedi and the like are welcome to pick up on her shaky mental state, but expect her to denydenydeny! if they bring it up.
  
• On another OOC note! If there's anything she says/does that bothers you, please please talk to me. She has a chunk of psychological issues, shows borderline addictive behaviour, can be abrasive and will manipulate people for entertainment if she sees the opportunity. She doesn't really do it to be mean, she just can't help herself sometimes. OOC =/= IC and communication FTW and all that.
  
  
• And for those of you that haven't seen this one: Skins Season Three Promo and a couple of clips to give a feel for her. Warnings for the bad language and the casual drug use on this show. But you probably figure that out already, right?
  

Angela Montenegro (flashesforinfo):
Angela: "Oh, you have no idea how open minded I can be."

• Is now an alumni! Staying for the summer, because I can't quite bring myself to send her off to her future yet.
  
• She'll be spending the first part of the summer TA-ing for Drake's 'Romance 101' class. You can bet she'll just looooove this. One of her favourite topics! <3
  
• Is from Bones. Pre-canon, eighteen, 5'8" and originates from the year... I suppose '97 now since she's been here a couple of years. Weird.
  
• Is one of those endlessly positive people, who believes in love and good times, and living in the moment, and all that fun stuff. If someone needs a pick-me-up, she is definitely your girl.
  
• Will flash people for her amusement/to get what she wants. The fact I've only got to use this once in FH saddens me.
  
• She just looooooves people, and talking to people, and parties and drinking and dancing, and anything like that. Just in a far less self-destructive and issue-laden way than my other girl.
  
• Very much in love with Hannibal King. She is resolutely ignoring the fast approaching future, and what they're going to do about this whole 'leaving' thing. That doesn't fit with her 'live in the moment' philosophy.
  
• Since she has a boyfriend and great love life of her own now, she'll be all for trying to fix up other people's. Little bit nosy, yes. She just wants people to be happy and loved up.
  
• Has one of those ways about her that seems to attract people and make them comfortable. She's usually got a smile, and will harmlessly flirt with anything that moves, even while very much taken. She doesn't mean anything by it, just enjoys it.
  
• People will get called Sweetie (or Honey, or whatever other little endearments come to her), whether they like it or not. It's a thing.
  
• She's got this famous father, who she doesn't bring up all that often, just because she likes to get by on her own merits not his. He is in fact in ZZ Top. Yes, that one.
  
• One day, she'll grow up to be a brilliant forensic artist, be BFF's with her universe's doesnt_vomit, and design and create her own uber-holographic-visualisation-machine-thing, dubbed the Angelator. ... Give it a decade or so.
  
• I have no fun video clips lying around for this one. D:

And as usual I'm just going to link back to Cindy Mackenzie and Shawn Farrell, since they're off-island.

• Emma. 22 (and thus the... third youngest in the game? As far as I know). British and thus living on GMT, albeit loosely, since I'm usually awake until well gone midnight my time.
  
• Graduate in biosciences and computer programming, but at the moment I'm temping 10am-4pm as a receptionist. I am so bored you would not believe. I have LJ access, but not always the time and privacy from the roving eyes of my boss to ping back and forth at any great speed.
  
• This is probably only going to get worse, as I have to start training my replacement this week and probably share my desk. SIGH. So yeah.
  
• Otherwise I'm around a whole bunch, if often distracted by housemates/my boyfriend/killing things in World of Warcraft. You know, the usual.
  
• I can be grabbed on email at 3.mackenzie[at]googlemail[dot]com or AIM at ihatefrills (although I always forget to put up away messages, so if I don't reply it's probably because I wandered AFK without warning not because I dun wanna chat.)
  
• Also, I am 5'9", have two kitties and love pineapple. These were things you both wanted and needed to know, right?
