What the hell, why not?

Gacked from Medie:

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon. (If I don't know the fandom, I'll let you know tomorrow and we can try again...)

ETA: Evening of May 21st: Right, I'm headed to bed. I'll come back to these tomorrow. Some of these facts you may have figured out from my fics,

I know someone's going to pick Methos, so I don't have to, so....

Sunda Kastagir

Kastagir

[gryphonrhi]

1) The man doesn't just make boom-boom. He's also a weapon smith, goldsmith, woodworker, shipwright, vintner, brewer, carpenter, plumber... He has hands for a reason, he says, and his fingers tell him as much about the world as his eyes. He wouldn't have it any other way.

2) He insists to this day that, damn it, Port Royal is *not* his fault, he didn't challenge anyone on holy ground, and the boom-boom batch blew up because of the fire, not the other way around. (No one believes him.)

3) He thinks Connor is hilariously funny when drunk, and will never tell Connor that. It might ruin the fun.

1) She always meant to have a mad fling with Connor, but the timing never worked out.

2) She discovered early on that the best way not to despair of mankind was to laugh with them. She figured that out not long after she picked up the habit of laughing at herself.

3) She died grateful that Luthor was such a fool. He only wanted the crystal. He didn't ask where she'd found it.

*Wonders if Methos should get more than 3 due to popularity*

[gryphonrhi]

1) He used to think the truth would be Archimedes' place to stand. He's starting to think it's the tool you use to build that place to stand.

2) He took Greek and Latin in college, officially to help with the medical terms in the psych classes, but he really took them to read the classic myths and epics in the original languages. He still thinks that's one of the best things he did in college.

3) He adds cream to his coffee since he Tunguska. And some nights, he bolts upright from dreams about the coffee in police stations across the US, and cops and SWAT teams with black across their eyes.

I'll ask for Methos! :-)

Methos

[gryphonrhi]

1) He's married women, and men, and a sow once (that one was an accident, and the priest was drunk too), and two immortals. The first divorce was amicable. The second divorce included a demand for one of his heads for the settlement, and the bastard wasn't picky which. Methos thought he'd learnt his lesson there, but he's starting to wonder.

2) Methos doesn't enlist, doesn't stick around if shanghaied (better drowning than that), wrote a dozen journal with white feathers turned to quills. It's not that he's got anything against killing mortals who're trying to kill him; he just can't keep his fucking mouth shut and ends up promoted. He doesn't want to give orders to armies, anymore. Kronos burnt that desire out of him a thousand years and an ocean of blood ago.

3) Death was a thousand years ago, and a thousand seconds ago, and it's not that the bastard's gone so much as he's lazing around on retainer. Becoming Death again is easy. Going back to Adam Pierson... that's hard.

"he just can't keep his fucking mouth shut and ends up promoted."

Gotta watch that wit. I can so see him having that problem. =)

I seem to remember you haven't read many of the books yet, so we'll go with the TV version if I can think of three...

1) It's easier not to care as much when he doesn't have glands and hormones. Which isn't to say he considers that an improvement.

2) He regrets using some of the black magic. He doesn't regret his ability to master it.

3) He likes working for Harry. Now if Harry would just learn to duck....
