ladyxnoxluck This icon. Need I say more?
failingfelicity Was originally going to be "butterflybreakdown" or something similar but it was too long. I went through thesaurus.com for synonyms of "pleasure" and found felicity, liked the sound of it. I also love alliteration, so "failing" just made sense because it's Miranda~
beautifulailure Matched beautifulalias, even if "failure" wouldn't fit completely. Plus I think the name is perfect for Mirandas in general, and I love contradictions.
derzeitmacher Matches dermusiker and roughly means "the (male) time maker" in German.
consummatebard I looked up synonyms for "successful" and found "consummate." A bard is someone who plays music, which makes perfect sense for the Musician~
notpapa His apprentice back home calls him "Papa" like he called the old bookman "Jiji" and "Panda." He hates it, hence the "not" part :3
musicalgeneral She's musical, and a general.
tempusxfrangit It's what's on the giant sundial in her realm, and I love puns~

I'd always thought felicity had to do with good luck...

WELL I've always heard it used with the meaning of "joy" or "happiness" but looking at dictionary.com (instead of the thesaurus!) it seems you're right. It can also mean skillful, apparently. SO I WAS DOUBLY RIGHT in using that in her username, since the whole reason I gave her "pleasure" was to see if I could play a Miranda with an almost completely-opposite-of-what-anyone-half-sane-would-expect-her-to-have Noah memory

When you first introed him, I kept reading consummatebard as 'consummatebastard', it took me way to long to get it orz

1/2 BECAUSE MY LIST IS LONG LIKE THAT 14th_rhapsody March 19 2010, 03:46:33 UTC
PRE-LIST ADVERTISEMENTO: 1903!verse is looking for castmates. :) info for characters upon request.

LIST: (going down my alphabetical list from LJlogin. kind of.)
[14th_musician]; IDK he was my first ever character, he's the 14th, and he's the Musician, I stuck with this, but then just half an hour ago I was showering and I came up with crappy headcanon for this that may or may not make it into the storyline. but. whatever. there you have it.
[14th_rhapsody]; a play on 14th_musician. in the verse's next update, things get a little crazy-- hence, 'rhapsody'.
[bloodrhapsody]; still 1903!14th, mostly contains his crazy/fight icons. made when he was stealing eyes, hence the 'blood' part, of course 'rhapsody' because he was kind of wonky.
[aboringworld]; Kanda takes the place of Ryuuk, who states that the Shinigami realm is a boring place.
[beautifulnumber]; sorta dropped, might pick him back up. matching with beautifulalias and Co.
[ceduto]; Italian (I think?) for '[he has] surrendered'.. or something like that. according to Babylon.com.
[crowclaws]; based on Crow's attack in Deadman Wonderland, Crow Claw. I realized that I could ( ... )

2/2 hah. 14th_rhapsody March 19 2010, 03:48:29 UTC
[flutterbygolem]; I have no idea why I did this. all I was thinking about was 'butterfly' and 'hey let's switch that around and make it flutterby, and then he's a golem so aha! flutterbygolem', and thus 1903!timcanpy's journal was created.
[ilmiomarionetta]; il mio marionetta, Italian for 'my puppet' or 'my marionette'. he's a doll/puppet/marionette. it fit.
[inesistenza]; Italian for 'nonexistance'. I like translating things into italian, it usually turns out pretty. 8D
[kiserleti]; kísérleti, Hungarian for 'experimental'. he's taken from my a fic where he was an experiment in the past, and also the title is Experimental, Irreplaceable, so. 8) [sperimentale] is also 'experimental' in some language I can't remember. probably Italian, lulz.
[lenalady]; NEW PERSON OMG IT'S A LINALI LENALEE. her Lavi calls her 'Lenalady' quite a bit. it was going to be 'notajoanie' or 'joanieforever' or 'singingboots' or something. I am so glad I saw 80'sband!lavi mentioning Lenalady to Alice, or else Lenalee would've gotten 'notajoanie', which is totally mega bunk.
[lethimlive]; ummm this 14th takes the role of a girl who ( ... )

YES TOTALLY.

Hopefully looking for Cross (actually he's kind of on hold, not sure if potential mun is planning to pick him up or not), Link (14th's next stalker), Linali (to keep Lavi and Kanda in line |D), any and all Noahs PARTICULARLY TYKI BECAUSE TYKI HOLDS PLOT DEVICE. sort of. and Rhode because she's crazy awesome. and. anyone else is awesome.

I'll go through the names for my currently active characters:

unluckynoah - She's...unlucky! And a Noah! Witness the stunning background thought that went into this username.

countess_hearts - It's a simply and descriptive username for a female Earl, but still it took quite some finding. All the names I wanted seemed to be too long, and I did have to research on what a female Earl was likely to be called.

innocence_cubed - Because Hevlaska's Innocence is the cube, and making it 'cubed' makes it sound more personal and/or mathematical.

chibi_walker - I didn't really want to have 'chibi' in the name, but the other names I wanted were taken. (I wanted 'walkerboy' or something like that, I think.)

stitched_akuma - Another feat of originality. She's an Akuma, and her face and left arm have stitches in them (and in one picture but only one, the stitches are shown to also go down her neck and maybe her left shoulder).

clownhate was another second choice one, because I wanted 'hatesclowns' but that was taken. It's because Allen said he hates clowns in the chapter he's taken from.

itisasillyplace is a reference to Monty ( ... )

I always think "inreto" has to do with something like... "In recovery" or those "(addiction goes here) annoynmous" groups. NO IDEA WHY, maybe it's because she's confined for the purpose of recovery?

bruleanneau March 19 2010, 04:17:58 UTC
rabbitwithwings/rabbithaswings = This one's really simple. This Lavi has Crow training, though he's still a Bookman apprentice and he's still an Exorcist (reluctantly). Don't know if his world's Kanda would ever call him rabbit but he's a rabbit with wings.
brulureanneau = It's supposedly French for "burning ring" but it translates weirdly now. Stupid online translators. B-but it was made over AIM with bickering. :3 His secondary account, bruleanneau, means burned ring.
gnawingtease = Rather easy to figure out. :3 Tease likes to gnaw. So. Yeah. His secondary, humanetease, is just a play on human. xD A Latin play I think.
tigredufeu = He was supposed to be AG!Lavi's younger self, but Michael kinda got his own personality. But it's French and means fire tiger, which was why it was going to be AG!Lavi's smaller self, because his nickname at his game is Tiger. The tiger account, lefeudetigre, means tigers fire.
bloodyscore/bloodscore = Wanted something with 'blood' in it to match his castmate, and Allen is/was a pianist in dance halls and lounges so he'd have music sheets or scores so. :3
arcmugen = I struggled to come up with a username for this one. So much. 8 ( ... )

forholywar March 19 2010, 04:30:47 UTC
flowercomplex - BECAUSE I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATED lotus_exorcist, and a mockery of his trauma came in a burst of creativity.

layingflowers - Based on the song 24 by Jem, which I found incredibly fitting for Kanda in general, bonus points for him being a dying/dead one.

forholywar - Because Second Exorcists were made for a Holy war. Yeah.

improvedkarma - because his luck wasn't so bad this time around. 8Db

symbolofthepope - Based on the line in canon where hes lecturing Kanda and Allen about their fighting and he says this. Hey, I like it.

juniorarchiver - Pretty self explanatory, as a historian he greats archives of events and he's still a novice at it.

killandbekilled - A reference to Tevak's dream and the3rd Exorcists as a whole, as some would be killed by Allen/14th and she would supposedly kill him.

melodystrings - Again, self explanatory. He fights with strings related to music.

ringsaroundthe - This is going to be Lena's new journal when I actually make icons. :|a It's a reference to the nursery rhyme and her anklets, which had nothing in common but eh, they weren't much meant to.

orderlee - Lolol I'm so punny. 'Orderly', for those who didn't get it.

justinkandpaper - ( ... )

Yeah but I don't play him anymore. :|a

It was Cheyne's suggestion, something in Latin. Bitter edge, I think it was?

XDDDDD I had no idea you used the male pronoun by mistake, especially after I saw Link intro'd with the feminine one.
