I app'd nine eight? different characters. I know that a good 1/3 of my sources are unknown to the GMs, but that didn't stop me, mostly because I enjoy being difficult.
Anyway, I app'd the following (in order of how badly I want this character):
Surreal, Black Jewels series. I can't tell you how much I want to play her. WHORE-ASSASSIN-WITCH. If the Black Jewels series were better known, I'd say she was my first pick. However, I don't think I'll get her. On the one hand? Sads. On the other? It possibly makes me more likely to get my next choice.
Natasha Romanoff, Avengers. It will be a crazy mashup of movieverse, comics, and a beautiful fic written by
gyzym. WHATEVER, I DO WHAT I WANT. (And by that, I mean, what the GMs say). Anyway, gymnast assassin who manipulates people by using their own expectations (and her own vulnerabilities) against them? YES PLZ.
River Song, Doctor Who. River is AWESOME. And I was less than impressed with the way the show handled her upbringing. I think a few semesters at a crazy school might help her.
Emma Frost, Marvel 616. Breeding, darling. Top class breeding.
Glorianna Belladonna, Landscapes of Ephemera. Another character from an obscure canon. But her magic is fun, so...
Azula, Avatar: TLA. Powerful, cunning, scheming, and batshit crazy? I CAN PLAY THIS. No probs!
Vin, Mistborn Trilogy. Street rat pretending to be noble while working to bring down an evil empire with all the magics? TOTALLY NOT A TROPE OF MINE. RLY.
Jane Ellsworth, Shades of Milk and Honey. Probably the most obscure of my obscure canons and lowest on my list. Her magic is cool and who doesn't wanna be Lizzie Bennet with magic?
EDIT: People I should have app'd but did not (because I am an idiot)--
*LANA KANE FROM ARCHER (Hello and/or DUH, self!)
*Gender-swapped Locke Lamora (THERE'S EVEN A POSSIBLE JEAN. HOW IS THIS NOT AMAZING?!)
*Parker from Leverage
*Emily Thorne/Amanda Clark
I thought I app'd nine, but I can only think of eight right now. This might be because it's ridic o'clock in the morning for me.
darkoni, who was my ninth? Or am I crazy and only app'd eight?
