Info post bandwagon...
Bandwagons are just sooo trendy...
My newest character is Parker. She's from the tv show Leverage (awesome show, I highly reccomend it to everyone).
Parker is a thief. She's a tall willowy blonde with rather impish features and all the social grace of a bull in a china shop. She was raised in the foster care system and it didn't treat her well. In the first episode of the show we get a flashback of her at age 9 or so, with one assumes a foster father taking away her stuffed bunny telling her she's either going to have to shape up or become a better thief. The next scene is her walking away from the house hugging her bunny while the house explodes behind her. Parker, obviously chose option number two.
As sorta implied by the above, Parker is, well, crazy. This is the general concensus of anyone who knows her for more than five minutes. She's fearless and loves a challenge when it comes to breaking into places, and will take risks that no sane person would in doing so. She's aware that she's, to put it mildly, socially awkward, and has problems interacting appropriately with other people. But underneath it all is someone with a good heart that cares, but just doesn't know how to express it. In one episode she stated she didn't want some orphan children they had found to be put into the system because she didn't want them to turn out like her. In another she awkwardly manages to fumble her way towards making actual friends while undercover on a jury. When she meets one of the other team member's ex wife in the final ep of the first season, she sniffs and pets her and calls her adorable, like she's a puppy that Parker just got.
Generally she's happiest when she's diving off the side of a building on a cable or cartwheeling her way through some laser security. She may be socially awkward and she may be crazy, but she's a damn good thief. She's a master of pretty much any skill that can be used in theft, from simple pick pocketing up to breaking and entering (including some use of explosives) well guarded museums and such. While she isn't one for hurting people physically, there's been at least one occasion when she took on a guy much bigger and stronger than her and laid him out after a fight. So one wouldn't really want to rile her up. Chances are though she'd hit you in your bank account or material possessions rather than you face, but with Parker, one can never be completely sure what she's going to do.
I'm bringing in Parker as a teenager, sent here from foster care. I figure with her stealing and odd personality, she's run through all the available foster care situations so she's being sent to Fandom High as a last resort. So she'll be arriving as a very guarded and wary young woman, with probably already better than average thieving abilities, expecting the worse out of this place. Hopefully, she'll soon learn that being sent to Fandom is actually a pretty big break for her.
Like I said above, Parker's socially awkward and so may do or say things to other characters that are either odd or ever outright offensive. Her interactions with others are probably going to be downright strange, especially at first. She's also a pretty compulsive thief, which can include pickpocketing but I of course would never have her steal something without ooc permission first.
This would be Seregil i Korit Solun Meringill Bokthersa and I'm just going to link to the info post I made when I brought him in. I'm actually sending him home for the summer so new characters won't get to meet him until probably the fall.
This would be Dean Winchester, from Supernatural. He's actually graduating on Saturday, but he's going to be hanging around for the summer.
Dean's your normal red blooded American teenager except for the fact that his family hunts ghosts, demons and other things that go bump in the night. He's an expert with a gun, not bad with a blade or in unarmed combat and is partial to fire -- the way to make sure ghosts stay gone is to salt and burn the remains so he gets a lot of chances to play with it.
Dean's a pretty easygoing guy, will flirt with almost any girl and more than a few guys and is generally pretty likeable. He's also usually open to doing more than flirting, but will make sure up front that it's clear that he isn't exclusive and has attachments elsewhere. If everyone's okay with that, then he's up for pretty much anything. Unless he decides you're a douchebag (Hi Chuck) which can lead to verbal sparring, actual physical fights, or possibly angry sex. Ya never know.
The one thing you don't want to do is mess with Dean's family. The quickest way to get on Dean's bad side is to threaten, insult or upset his brother Sammy. More than anything else in life, Dean's calling seems to be being a big brother and he takes that responsibility seriously.
Dean's also become a follower of Vkandis (a religion from Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books) -- a religion he converted to when Karal (who was a priest of Vkandis) was a student here. He's not very demonstrative about it usually, but it is something he believes very passionately and will occasionally refer to or do rituals for as he feels is needed.
Dean's been at FH for three years now and considers the island home. He plans on enjoying one last summer here before heading off in his 67 impala to go saving people and hunting things across the country with his best friend (and lookalike) Alec.
This would also be my other Winchester, Dean's (and Sam's) father John.
John Winchester is an exmarine, and has been a Hunter since his wife was killed by a demon when Dean was four and Sam six months. He's the kind of guy whose name you could say in the same breath with Chuck Norris. In canon, he sold his soul to save Dean's life, went to hell, was tortured there for 100 years but never broke, then when the gates were opened, climbed out of Hell and wrestled the demon who killed his wife (and was about to kill his son) out of the body it was possessing long enough for Dean to get the gun and kill it. You don't mess with John Winchester. Or his sons. Period.
All that being said, John's not exactly a people person. He has, at one time or another had a falling out with pretty much everyone he knows. And he's lousy at sharing info.
He's been getting better about all of that since he came to Fandom High obstensibly to keep an eye on his boys, first as a teacher, though currently he runs the Magic Box Shop in town. He and the principal, Zoe Washburn, discovered they had a lot in common, started dating, had a daughter together and got married. These changes, along with seeing how having a more stable (though still pretty weird) life has been good for his boys and steadied and mellowed John. He hasn't had any friends chase him off with a shotgun in years!
Still threatening his family woudl be a very very bad idea. Very.
And finally there's Rupert Giles, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Currently he's off living through the events of season 7 of Buffy, and I have plans for him after that. He probably won't be making an appearance on Fandom for at least the next few months.
Me, I'm Wolfling and I've been rp'ing in one form or another for about 24 years now, and been playing in FH for the last three. I currently have a job that has me working shifts usually from 2-10 or 3-11 pm EST four to five days a week. (the actual days vary.) So most days I'm around late mornings/early afternoons and then later in the evening and often into the wee hours of the morning. Days I'm not working, I'm around much more than that.
On AIM I'm saltandammo, and if I'm online, I'll usually be on there. Or you can email me at fwolfling @ gmail . com.
