( THE PLAYER )
Name: Rho!
Contact: katoptron @ plurk, Rho#9327
A fun fact about you: I lived in Japan for a couple years. That's pretty rad.

( THE CHARACTER )
Name & canon: Miles Naismith Vorkosigan, Vorkosigan Saga
(Approximate) Age: 28, thanks wikipedia
Elevator pitch: Want to make bad decisions? Get dragged around by a sawed-off maniac? Leap into danger without knowing how the hell you're getting back out? That's pretty much Miles in a nutshell. He's 4'9" and seventy pounds of pure, unadulterated momentum.
Plans & plot hooks: Just about anything is cool. Miles willl be taking up his mantle as Admiral soon enough, so he'll be organizing and adding people to the Dendarii Mercenaries! ... After he stops having amnesia, anyway. Canon smacked him really, really hard. He'll be on the look out for all kinds of interesting people, but doctors are especially important. And he's going to touch all the aliens and/or Star Wars. Just sayin'.
CR you're looking for: A range is good. I love me a good enemy as much as I do allies.
Continuing from the TDM: I'd like to keep pretty much all of Miles' TDM threads canon (assuming you apped in!)
Misc: Miles in one picture:

A fun fact about you: statistically, i have probably stolen more lawn flamingos than you.

( THE CHARACTER )
Name & canon: luke skywalker, stars war
(Approximate) Age: 19
Elevator pitch: luke tried real hard, and he got real far, and it might have maybe mattered, but now he's in this dump so he can't tell. he has a ton of enthusiasm and excitement, wants to meet new friends and learn new things, boldly go where someone else has probably gone before! sadly he has almost no training and very little patience. it's a winning combination that definitely won't get anyone killed or maimed.
Plans & plot hooks: luke is from the end of a new hope! that means he's a big goof with a lot of dreams and very little experience. i'm looking for people to push him, test him, argue with him or bolster his nerve. he has the makings of an extremely talented, competent jedi, he's just... not remotely there yet.
CR you're looking for: negative cr is very hard to get with luke, but i welcome the opportunity! in general, luke is incredibly kind and understanding. he thinks the best of everyone, always. so anyone to test his mettle is more than welcome to try!

teachers are also welcome; luke has a lot to learn! he'll also need friends, people who will encourage him and get into stupid scrapes with him. if you like dumb adventure and running off without thinking, he's your guy. but if you're likely to maybe tell him to stop and think for ten seconds... well, he's not your guy, but your services might be needed all the same.
Continuing from the TDM: all of them?? hey ur in.... im in..... lets do stuff. things

A fun fact about you: I worked in a haunted house for charity once.

( THE CHARACTER )
Name & canon: Clark Kent, DCEU
(Approximate) Age: 38
Elevator pitch: Clark is the long suffering kind of done guy who really just wants to help kittens and kids and maybe sit down and watch a baseball game in peace. He prefers to be a minor character but unfortunately, he's a major character. Number one fan of his mom.
Plans & plot hooks: Honestly, I'm looking to see whether Clark will step up into a more pivotal, leadership role because those are the kind of limelights he likes to avoid and maybe push himself into working together with other people instead of being on his own.
CR you're looking for: All of them! Clark is pretty quiet and isn't actually big on sharing, so I'm curious to see what kind of CR would bring him out of that shell and encourage him on.
Continuing from the TDM: I'm up for continuing any cr from the tdm

A fun fact about you: I'm a licensed massage therapist. Though I don't actually do that anymore. These days I just pretend I know how to do science or something.

( THE CHARACTER )
Name & canon: Taura | Volkswagon Vorkosigan Saga
(Approximate) Age: Her canon point book says she's 19 but that is in flagrant denial of other books which state hers and Miles's ages which means she should be 21. Fun with long canons!!
Elevator pitch: So, you go to rescue a princess from a monster, and find out the monster is the princess. What do? Taura is a giant softie who would be a magical girl if she could but is instead an eight foot tall animal-spliced super-soldier. Dat's life.
Plans & plot hooks: Oh gosh, well, to start with she'll be intensely bodyguarding cryo-amnesiac, fragile Miles, so if he's getting into trouble she probably isn't far behind. (And he's definitely getting into trouble.) Taura will generally help people who need it and she is going to need help herself, pretty quickly. Her metabolism is ridiculous-- ideally she eats, like, a full meal every 4-5 hours, more if she's been exerting or hungry lately. So she's going to be quietly starving despite her castmates trying to shuffle her rations until we get that ICly figured out. That's the immediate plan.
CR you're looking for: EVERYTHING oh my god. Taura loves confident women who can teach her to be more feminine without embarrassing herself, she would be good with other soldier or mercenary types, she will probably develop awkward crushes on anyone her age who is slightly nice to her, AND she is also, you know, a fairly animalistic beast of a lady so I am always down for violence. Whether that ends well for her or not!
Continuing from the TDM: Yes please!! I am 100% for this!
Misc: This is your warning now that I am kinda tl;dr if you haven't noticed. YUP. Pictured below: Taura and Miles, to scale.

[t65]

literally anything is better than him getting a crush on you, vestara

[dendarii]

Also 100% accurate to Miles' feelings on Taura

[unthreatening]

more please

I am so ready for hapless adventures

[t65]

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH ALREADY

i can't wait to do more, dumb luke + competent women is my lifeblood

[unthreatening]

look get your memories back already Quinn isn't even here

~*~チャンス~*~

[t65]

taura already talked up miles to luke so he's going to be keeping an eye out for you, shortstuff

[unthreatening]

god

it's amazing how neatly this slots into her canon role of calmly saving dumb men from themselves

BUT YES I LOVE THEM SO MUCH ALREADY TOO so I'm glad it's mutual!!

[dendarii]

AWESOME. ty taura for being the best bodyguard.

[t65]

im warning you now luke is very likely to get a crush on her if this continues

so

im sorry???

[t65]

THE BEST

also luke is a big fan of harebrained adventures and running into danger headfirst, so sign him up for that

A fun fact about you: I used to ghostwrite for a judge.

( THE CHARACTER )
Name & canon: Vestara Khai
(Approximate) Age: Chronologically, and relative to the rest of the galaxy, she's seventeen-going-on-eighteen. But she spent a bunch of time on this weird haunted monolith where time progressed slower, so physically and mentally she's eighteen-going-on-nineteen.
Elevator pitch: Vestara grew up on a planet full of backstabbing Sith, and all she wanted to do was master the dark side and conquer the galaxy. But then sixty-year-old Luke Skywalker punched her in the face, dragged her along with him and his dork son on a pan-galactic roadtrip to kill space Cthulhu, and more-or-less got her exiled from her home planet. Now she's a corporate "troubleshooter" for evil corporations, where "troubleshooter" means assassin, enforcer, and industrial saboteur.
Plans & plot hooks: Anything! Vestara's a scrappy fighter, so I look forward to her going on exploring missions and getting into fights and stuff. She's pretty proactive, because her default survival tactic is to be so useful to all strong factions around her that no faction can afford to get rid of her. Also, she's almost completely amoral, so bring on the backstabbing and intrigue.

Ves is also going to be using her default alias, "Savara," until such time as the game gives everyone official designators or someone apps from late-era Legends.
CR you're looking for: All, but frenemies most of all ♥ I really like CR with friction.

At the beginning of the game, Ves herself won't be someone who initiates much friction. That's because she won't show much real nastiness until she has a stronger grasp on the situation and therefore feels secure in her ability to be a little shit without potentially deadly consequences. So, for a while she's going to keep her conversational claws mostly sheathed, and mostly keep things superficial and casually bantering. She's not going to admit to mass murder right off the bat or anything.
Continuing from the TDM: I'd like to carry threads over if people are okay with it!
Misc: Did you know that when you Google "My Immortal," the first hits are for the fanfic, not the song?

[unthreatening]

I'm

trying to come up with some reason she wouldn't get an awkward blushy crush back and I just can't

I apologize for everything already

DUMB SPACE TEENS WITH FEELINGS APPROACH meanwhile: adventure

[t65]

AWESOME LET'S MAKE THEM MISERABLE

but most importantly: dumb space adventures

[unthreatening]

it's frankly not VKS or SW if there weren't gross pointless feelings clouding up the more important dumb space adventures.

fortunately she'll probably be too busy to be too miserable

[t65]

im so glad we're on track

luke will do his best to be a distracting mess, no worries

[unthreatening]

DAMN IT LUKE SHE IS WORKING HERE

she is a professional mercenary!! very professional

[t65]

BUT LET HIM TELL YOU ABOUT THE VERY IMPRESSIVE THING HE DID ONCE

[unthreatening]

god she takes it all back Taura finally realizes how dumb boys are

Luke Skywalker's contribution to her life

[t65]

and on that day luke learns the same lesson

[unthreatening]

LMAO

your icon use is on point
