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,

Since Methos has been asked for, I'll go for Connor.

[gryphonrhi]

Oh, god, Connor? ::starts laughing:: I'm not sure I even *need* personal canon for Connor, but okay, let's see what I can do.

1) When he says Duncan gets all the good women... it would be a good idea to ask what definition of 'good' Connor meant.

2) He's very, very sharp: sharp wits, sharp eyes, sharp bargains, sharp edges. His enemies have honed him to a fine edge and in an odd way, Connor's grateful for that. Not grateful enough to let them live, though.

3) He grew up working while there was light and he had energy, and making light since he still had energy to work. He prefers electric lights to candles, but he still hates being idle. It's made him very good at meditating, and noticing details and patterns, but those have slanted his sense of humor a few (okay, several) degrees off the norm...

LeCroix

[gryphonrhi]

1) In the end, he had no regrets for killing Divia. She was his sire, but she was also his daughter. Disposing of her was his responsibility, his right, and his privilege, and he's always favored private laws.

2) He supposes he should wish Nicholas understood him better, but why when this way, LaCroix has such an advantage in their centuries-old game? (Janette was wise enough not to play.)

3) He is, in the end, a Roman, and paterfamilias: head of family, responsible for the health, welfare, education, and actions of those who are his. Those who are not his... he has no responsibility for. He finds that being a vampire is not much different; the strategies simply run longer.

[springwoof]

Right on! you know LeCroix bone and blood, you do....

[gryphonrhi]

::grins:: I find the man ridiculously easy to write, oddly enough. (Usually, it's Joe I'd be saying that about.) Glad you liked!

Matthew

[gryphonrhi]

1) Every third identity, Matthew goes and does something completely unrelated to the law -- on a completely different continent, if possible. He's farmed in Louisiana, made wine in Italy, sold brasswares in Turkey, hauled in fish off the African coast. Partly he wants a change, partly he wants a break, and these days, he likes the idea of confounding the Watchers. God help them when he retires from the FBI; he's planning to pick up hacking.

2) He's been using Scottish surnames for 700 years now, after a great many long talks with Sean. Cory never had to ask why Matthew started; Ceirdwyn knew a sore spot when she saw one.

3) He doesn't talk about his first criminal investigation as an immortal. His first investigation as a mortal was for his father's court. His first investigation as an immortal was of his own death. Even now, he half-wishes he hadn't traced the bribes back to his widow.

What? No one asked for Ramirez?

[gryphonrhi]

::laughing:: Apparently not.

1) Ever since he got out of the Kurgan's mind and into Connor's, Ramirez has been making up for the time he didn't have with this student. Well, and studying a few things himself. He's not sure, however, if it was a good idea to have two of them with prophetic dreams in one skull.

2) It never occurred to Ramirez not to reach for lightning. He was used to Egyptian summers, after all.

3) As for breathing water... that was sheer, stubborn cussedness. Mostly because he died the first time in the yearly Nile flood.

Somehow, #1 sounds like a plot bunny: Ramirez taking over Connor's body while Connor is out of it somehow.

[gryphonrhi]

Er, it's more like 'Two sets of visions for the price of one,' and really, it drives Connor a little crazy, I think.

Jack Sparrow.

Excuse me, Captain Jack Sparrow.

(Just because I decided to not follow the HL questions, although Joe and Cory came to mind.)

[gryphonrhi]

1) He started out using the kohl to see more clearly early morning and late afternoon. He keeps it up because everyone underestimates him more now.

2) And the dreds? It's amazing what you can hide in them, really it is. Knives, gems, keys....

3) It's a funny world. No one ever asks where he got the compass. Or what he paid for it. Or if there might be other useful things there.

[mzlizzy]

...and very few people would even *think* of searching the 'dreds.

Thanks!

::giggling:: You know it!
