it's better than yours.

This looks like fun~

Give me a character I play and I will give you a few facts about them according to my own personal canon. This can range from their birthday, favorite color or even their earliest memory up to what they had last night for dinner.

I'm not role playing right now - I want to, but I'm shy about approaching new games - but you can ask about any fandom characters I've played in the past, or original characters. Here's a general list of them.


Teen Titans
Starfire (kory_of_tamaran), Lightning (trickstersparx), See-More (seemoreofhive), "Brooke" (speaknofeelings), Gizmo (in a AIM roleplay)

Avatar
Zuko (regainmyhonor), THE BOULDER (feelsconflicted)

Original
Cais, Elise, San, Saniya, Vincent, Stella, Smokey, Zei, Ziera, Yal, Joe, Reyna, Maddox, uhhhh anyone I can't remember right now.

That does sound interesting. And Saki sounds like a cool character; I never heard of an OC with that backstory before. Ophelia was more of an optimistic and bubbly type of girl from Hawaii, who frequently got on Lightning's nerves but he ended up finding it endearing.

Lightning would totally hate earth or anything concerning earth. He doesn't like abusing it (not now, fully aware that he's destroying stuff rather than doing any good), but the element earth is the one thing he cannot fight his way out of so he just dislikes it based on his lack of control over it. Like, he'd lose against Terra anytime, any day in a fight if it's just the two of them.

Haha! She definitely learned the art of annoyance from her brothers.

Thanks:) I was trying to figure out an interesting background for her, and I was on a bit of an folklore/supernatural kick (which explains also why there's a Thunderbird and a deer person (not exactly a satyr, just a person with deer like qualities and can transform into a full dear) in the rp.) so that kind of became a part of her background.

Yeah, considering Lightning couldn't fight his way through earth, one can figure he freak being trapped in the earth. Yeah, Terra would beat him in an one on one fight. I should so write out that scene where Saki goes into his psyche to get him out of the catatonic state.

Another interesting character with some sort of relation to Lightning is Thunderbird. He is actually a Thunderbird that transforms into a human form at times.. The last one, so he took on the name of his species. He and Lightning hate each other. Not just because Thunderbird is on the bad guy side but he hits on Saki, and constantly boasts he's the stronger of the control of the element.

He also tends to call Lightning, Sparky.

Yes, she learned that much from her brothers. Just some things you pick up from them:)

Folklore is really interesting, and it's difficult to pull it off well for original characters. The deer bit sounds fun.

I'd like to read the scene! It's good to see how other people handle minor characters and OCs mingling together, and her ability seems like it'd be fun to write.

Thunderbird, eh? Man, now I have to wonder who was stronger, him or Lightning. I'm getting the mental image that they were both equal in power, so they ended up butting heads a lot and never actually getting anywhere. Or Lightning would lose when it comes to strategy.

LOL. Sparky. I ... think Lightning was called once back in the RP times, but I can't remember now. I'd have to go back and look; I'm almost sure it was Ophelia that called him that. I know she called him Flashy Pants. ;) It gladly became an inside joke.

[cheriestar.livejournal.com]

Hee Hee, Flashy Pants. Thats silly:)

For the scene, when I write it I certainly send it to you.

And yeah, Thunderbird and Lightning are on the same electrical power level. While Thunderbird isn't exactly world's smartest, he can be a sneak once in awhile.

For some reason this inspired an sort of AU world RP for me. Sort of the whole "Government starts collecting super powered hero's for scientific purposes/weapons" thing.

No idea why that came to mind.

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

Flashy Pants is the funniest nickname ever. There's others, too.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the scene.

Random ideas are the best ideas you can get! I've always liked worlds like that, where the abilities are more of a hindrance/burden than something to go about freely with. It brings a lot of suspense in the air and brings a lot of opportunities for characters to team up to save themselves.

[cheriestar.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Just something fun about that. Hopefully my friend who normally RP's Teen titans stuff comes on soon.

I already have a scene in my head where Lightning and Thunder bring down on hell on some soldiers who try to capture Hailstorm.

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

I haven't had a good RP involving Teen Titans in awhile... or written anything, actually. I should get back in the groove a little and write some drabbles.

hahahahaha. they'd probably be hella angry about that.

[cheriestar.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm always up for a good RP on AIM if you ever get bored enough. And I would certainly read the drabbles:)

Yup, lot's of pain for the soldiers.

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

I'd probably not be up for it tonight, because I have a last-minute paper to do, but I'll keep that in mind! And I usually post fanfic drabbles in my regular journal in case anyone's interested. pwnworks has a ton of Jump City Nexus (the old RPG community) drabbles under the tag !Public.

BRING ON THE PAIN.

[cheriestar.livejournal.com]

I'll go check that out:)

Also, I started writing the scene. When I send it it'll be in parts as it's going to be slightly longer then I thought as I started a bit before the actual scene where Saki gets into Lightning's psyche.

Oh, and finally.. Lighting and Thunder smash!

Wait..wrong comic company.

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

Ooh, great! I can't wait to read it. :D And understood; as long as I can follow it, it's good.

HOORAY SMASHING. I wonder, did you ever see them in their original comic book forms, BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS? Thunder was able to lift a tank by himself.

[cheriestar.livejournal.com]

I thought adding in some of the events of what happened would make it easier to understand anyways.

I saw pictures of their original comic selves, but I never read the comics. I like comics, but I don't read much unless their in collected form as I don't know where to start. But I do read up on characters and such. Sometimes I'll even get the comic book verse jokes and such on comic book shows/movies. I was yelling "red hood is joker! red hood is joker!" while watching last weeks episode of "batman: brave and the bold."

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

That would help me a lot, yes. XD;

I don't read a lot of comics, either. Like, I have to be one of the only one on the Internet who doesn't get the Watchmen craze and doesn't want to read the graphic novels. >_>; I did read a lot of the Teen Titans, though, especially the ones about Terra's original appearance (I have two graphic novels about her stories), and the comic with Thunder and Lightning had to be one of my favorites.

This is the specific page (http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g121/summonerofcheese/Comic%20Pages/thunderlightning6.jpg). It's just that awesome.

[cheriestar.livejournal.com]

Your not alone on the Watchman thing. Never read it, don't really plan on reading it. Not even that interested in the movie.

Throwing tanks instantly make you awesome.

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

Same here! I'll see it if I get a chance out of curiosity, because it does look like it's going to be a good comic book movie, but I have no idea who the characters are supposed to be and I'd probably be extremely confused while reading it. That sort of kills the enthusiasm for me. :/

Oh, it does. That's one of my favorite "most badass moment" for me, amongst other things.
