(no subject)
WANTED CHARACTERS: Jungle Book characters!
REQUESTED BY: Ryan, of Mod!Ryan fame
EXPLANATION: Because the Jungle Bookers are getting no love and have great potential! Severe Akela, or a militant Hathi (who would make a great actual-military character!). Lets fill out those ranks, soldiers!
----------
WANTED CHARACTERS: The Bear Prince! And Rose Red!
REQUESTED BY: Alice, who plays hatesbears (UNGRATEFUL DWARF)
EXPLANATION: Because they are all non-present D: and what is Rose to do without characters to attempt to poison/knife/pee in their pot plants?
----------
WANTED CHARACTERS: The Handmaid, Prince, & King from the Goose Girl
REQUESTED BY: Joy, who plays whynded (THE PRINCESS FROM THE GOOSE GIRL)
EXPLANATION: The tale needs to be completed! Plus The Handmaid/Princess interaction would be horribly awful/awkward!
----------
WANTED CHARACTERS: Shah Zamin, from A Thousand and One Nights
REQUESTED BY: Rose & Lis, who play dunyazade & kingofstories (DUNYAZAD & KING SHAHRYAR)
EXPLANATION: Alex needs his younger Tale brother around for some solidarity and Nia needs her Tale husband around for awkwardness and fun. Help us get closer to completing the frame story! For information about Shah Zamin, look here.
----------
WANTED CHARACTERS: The Swan Brothers, from The Six Swans
REQUESTED BY: Julie, who plays cygnettes (THE SWAN SISTER)
EXPLANATION: There's only one brother in-play, and I'm seriously aching for more -- Cygna is a pale shell of herself without real family to fuss over and bond with and lean on. Three of the six swans are related by blood, which means they came from the Weiss family, where the siblings were split up and sent into foster families thirteen years ago (see her profile for more detail on that backstory). The other three are a complete blank slate for you to work with, with the proviso that we develop some sort of awkward wonderful dynamic. I mean, how do you react when you have centuries of memories telling you someone is family, but they're actually not? Catch me at jyuulii on AIM if you're interested!
REQUESTED BY: Beth (1), who plays givinggifts (FAIRY - DIAMONDS & TOADS)
EXPLANATION: Cousin(s) wanted! Eleanor has at least one, who is a) older and b) a boy. They get along well enough for him to pass her the occasional movie. There may be more - Nore's an only child and her mother isn't a Tale, but I haven't established much beyond that. I don't particularly care if the cousins are related through her mother or father, either. If it's the father, though, appers should know that he died when Nore was very young.
SUGGESTED TALE: Anything! The Bad Sister would be totally awkward (given that Eleanor is still unapologetic about the whole 'spitting toads' thing), but I'm not particular at all.
----------
REQUESTED BY: Gail, who plays off_the_hookah (CATERPILLAR - WONDERLAND)
EXPLANATION: Romantic interest for Neil >.> Female or male. Somebody who'll balance him out. He was seeing Allison's (themostcurious) uncle, Louis, but they had a big argument. Currently, Louis has split for India without speaking to Neil. Louis is just an NPC and not a Tale, and even though Neil is still hung up on Louis, I'd rather have a played character to interact with instead of RPing things behind the scenes. Somebody his age would be nice, though a younger character would be a boost to his ego.
SUGGESTED TALE: Any, really.
----------
REQUESTED BY: Shay, who plays sleeproot (WHITE RABBIT)
EXPLANATION: I'd love to see Nava's ex-fiance, Nick Price. He's a musician from Philadelphia and has been Nava's best friend and boyfriend since high school; she toured with him and his band for a number of years and they were very close. Neither knows the other is a tale, so plz to be giving me plots.
SUGGESTED TALE: Probably something a little older - an Aesop's or Arabian, maybe?
----------
REQUESTED BY: Sarah, who plays dontcallmespot (THE DOG)
EXPLANATION: It'd be awesome to have a boss for Eddy. This should be someone (male or female) who works in real estate. As I see it, the boss is someone Eddy actually looks up to a bit, as he's held down this temp job longer than almost any other (about 4 months now!). On his storyline list, it's listed as "The Human."
SUGGESTED TALE: Anything! The world is your metaphorical oyster!
----------
REQUESTED BY: Loren, who plays eemakha (ALADDIN'S MOTHER)
EXPLANATION: Although Rivka Yisroel's older brother, Abraham "Avi" Yisroel, grew up with her in Haifa, they weren't particularly close until their parents were killed in a suicide bombing. Even then, they dealt with the tragedy in different ways; instead of trying to get away like Riva, Avi joined the Israeli Defense Forces. He shares his sister's distrust of Palestinians, to the extent that he believed an innocent man a suicide bomber and shot him. Although he's currently under investigation by the IDF, Riva hopes that his name will be cleared soon and that Avi can join her in New York.
SUGGESTED TALE: Preferably an Arabic, but anything will work!
----------
REQUESTED BY: JL, who plays tinderbx (THE SNUFF-BOX IMP)
EXPLANATION: Paddy's older brother, Jimmy, is probably a Tale himself, as Paddy and Danny were both Tales. Jimmy may simply be a late bloomer or, for some reason, has never bothered to tell Paddy what they have in common. This could be especially interesting if Jimmy knew about Danny's Tale problem all along and just never mentioned anything to Paddy. There could be some serious unresolved conflict here.
SUGGESTED TALE: Anything!
----------
REQUESTED BY: Jordan, who plays 9thdreamer (THE QUEEN OF HEARTS)
EXPLANATION: Ryoko has an (ex?)husband and younger sister who could both conceivably be Tales. Ryoko and her husband had an arranged marriage that was pragmatic, not romantic, and that they split over the "propriety" of her books. Her younger sister is more academically-minded than she was (not too hard, really) and probably the child their parents are more pleased with. They're both Japanese. Perfectly willing to negotiate on ideas, plot, etc. Please ping machineangel13 (on AIM) if you're interested!
SUGGESTED TALE: Anything! Suggested PB: Tomoki Maruyama for Ryoko's husband would make my day. Screencaps of the movie "Nana" are probably the best place to find him (which Ryoko's PB, Mika Nakashima, was also in).
----------
REQUESTED BY: Sara, who plays one_fry_short (TWEEDLEDUM)
EXPLANATION: Romantic interest for Harrison. He's with an NPC girl right now, but I'd prefer for him to have an in-game romance. This relationship doesn't have to be perfect. He's okay with that. In fact, he wants something fun to keep him on his toes and make things interesting. So snarky, Benedict vs. Beatrice type conversations would be embraced rather than avoided!
SUGGESTED TALE: Any! He's thirty years old now, so she should preferably be around his age.
