OOC: Infodump for HI NEW PEOPLE
I have no new characters, but we have new people, so it's time to break out the gifs.
The Characters:
Unless you have the resolve to sacrifice yourself sometimes, you won’t accomplish anything.
Child of Love: Aino Minako (Student)
Canon: Post Codename: Sailor V, pre Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon
Original infopost here.
☪ Tall, blonde, blue-eyes, beautiful, and highly athletic, Aino Minako is an outgoing student from Japan who loves sports and is not quite as fond of academic subjects! Oops!
☪ Also sekkritly a Guardian of Love a Justice - Sailor Venus!
☪ Will always introduce herself as "Aino Minako" - surname first - because while her English is pretty darn good, some habits are hard to break. But she totally is fine with being called by her first name by everyone, and will probably make a face if you call her "Aino-san" or something similar.
If you DO use Japanese honorifics with her, Minako will assume you speak Japanese and start babbling at you at a zillion-billion words-per-minute. We're not sure if she actually breathes when she talks or not.
☪ Always by Minako's side is Artemis, a white cat. Artemis is the feline guardian and adviser to Sailor Venus, and acted as such to her previous incarnation as Princess Venus. He can talk, he just won't do so around you.
☪ If you get funky vibes off non-humans, you'd get them off Artemis - he's an alien space-cat! Minako is also slowly transforming from regular-human into full-blooded Venusian, AND she's the reincarnation of a princess who was the reincarnation/avatar of the goddess Venus, so she might be a little odd, too.
☪ Minako's greatest love is pop culture. She desperately wants to be an idol, and so makes a hobby of chasing them and attending auditions in acting, dancing, and singing whenever possible. Or to go out for the Olympic volleyball team! She's really that good.
☪ Her favorite colors are red, pink, orange, and yellow, and usually dresses accordingly.
It became common knowledge in the streets that a wise man paid Surreal in advance.
The Deadly Courtesan: Surreal SaDiablo (Student)
The Black Jewels, Early canon.
Original Infopost here.
PB: Aishwarya Rai
♥ Surreal is eighteen-ish and angry. If you own a copy of Daughter of the Blood, flip to page 65, section three, and continue until you hit page 75. That, right there, is exactly when Surreal is coming from in canon.
♥ Has dark skin, long black hair, delicately pointed ears and gold eyes, with a hint of green. She would be capable of passing as Hayllian, were it not for her pointed ears, easily covered up by her hair, or the hint of green in her eyes. And while she's almost eighteen, she looks a few years older, more around her early twenties, due to her heritage.
♥ Likes knives. A lot. She's been training with them since she could walk (it's a Dea al Mon specialty), and is never without at least one. She's a fair hand at poisons, too, having assisted her mother and Tersa as a child. If you go in the Magic Box? DON'T TOUCH WHAT'S COOKING. This what Tara gets for leaving her in charge.
♥ Surreal is a witch, an orphan, former whore, thief, an aspiring assassin, and no, she is not interested in a heart-to-heart. Ever. That said, she's had a recent attitude-check with the whole reunion-timey-wimey, and it's a lot of pressure off her shoulders to know that she's not going to be living hand-to-mouth on the streets for the rest of her life.
♥ Has not adopted contemporary dress. Tends to wear leather pants, blouses, and corsets.
♥ Has issues with males. Look at her face, not her breasts, or she will cut you. Has a Thing with Cara, who also might cut you if you keep staring at Surreal's breasts.
♥ Her adoptive guardian-figure is Daemon Sadi, better known as The Sadist. Who is the half-brother of Lucivar Yaslana, who appointed himself thumper-of-Karla. Here's where things get timey-wimey: Surreal is pre-canon for all the witches at Fandom High. It'll be another three hundred and fifty years before the events that take place in Daughter of the Blood.
♥ Wears the Birthright Green, with all the powers incorporated therein. HOWEVER. Unlike damned near everyone else in the series, she is NOT a Queen. Or a Healer. Or a Black Widow or anything like that. Although Titian was a Queen and a Black Widow, castes don't always get passed down. A few more years and she'll mature to the Grey, but she doesn't exactly have the nurturing instincts that some of the Fandom witches do.
Breeding, darling. Top class breeding.
The Telepathic Townie: Emma Grace Frost
X-Men/Generation X, Pre-Canon.
PB: Jessica Stam
Please go here to let me know if Ems could read your character
♦ Emma comes from the 'Marvel' canon of OMGWTF (Marvel 616). Land of the retcon, home of the mutants, and a general migraine for anyone who believes in pesky things like 'continuity' and 'in character'.
♦ Is not a nice person, and there is no heart-of-gold under there to find (I'm so sorry). That said, she's sassy, sarcastic, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to the people she does cultivate a friendship with. But still a bitch.
♦ EMMA LACKS TELEPATHIC ETHICS. I really can't stress this enough. She's got no qualms about taking what she finds and using it to her advantage. She's not actively cruel (usually), she's just very bitter over the fact that people often say one thing and think another, and she loves hanging such hypocrites out to dry.
♦ This Emma is twenty, and does not dress as sluttishly as her adult 616 counterpart when she's out & about town. She prefers nice designer clothes that accentuate the fact she's pretty, but please do not mod her into wearing low-cut tops or outlandishly short skirts. If she's at either job, then, yes, the leather pants and boob-shirts are out.
♦ Is the Tuesday Night hostess at Devil's Nest, because Eric collects blondes, and is taking over Dite's for the summer.
♦ Going into her junior year at Empire State University, with a triple major in business, human development, and psychology. The business major is actually done, and Emma will be started the MBA program at ESU in the fall as she finishes off Psych and HD.
♦ Living at 33 Apocalypse Avenue for the summer with Kaidan Alenko, Jack Priest and Josh Lyman.
♦ A telepath of high ability, Emma can read and project thoughts, change memories, plant illusions in the minds of others, commits accidental dreamwalking, and has various and sundry other psionic gifts she's working on. Her secondary mutation of shapeshifting into an organic diamond form has already triggered because a house fell on her and Alex Karev. Oops.
You cheat the system, and it tries to compensate. Nobody really understands how or why, but it does. Magic is costly. You take what you didn't earn, but you pay for it.
Librarian, Teacher, & Walking Disaster: John Constantine
Canon: Vertigo's Hellblazer, post 'Dangerous Habits'
PB: Paul Bettany
✖ John Constantine - or if you ask anyone who knows him, John ALSKDFJALSKFJ FUCK YOU Constantine - is a magus. Really, he's more of a con man, running the long-odds against all the Things that go Bump in the Night. The easy joke would be to say that John is a lover, not a fighter, but his lovers tend to end up rather dead. In very unfortunate and painful ways, usually with demons involved.
No. Really. There's almost always demons involved.
✖ Pretty much every single post is going to have swearing. John swears a lot, and doesn't censor it for kids. This is your warning.
✖ Shockingly, he's good with children, especially teenagers, assuming they don't end up dead or traumatized by being in his life, much like the adults around him.
Unlike many of the adults of the DCU/Vertigo worlds, Constantine takes children seriously - deadly seriously. Given his own utterly-shit upbringing, John's pretty good at understanding teenagers and bad situations, and makes a surprisingly decent uncle-figure to some. He even acts as a quasi-mentor to Tim Hunter, one of the most powerful rising magic users of the Vertigo/DCU, although, being John, he's not necessarily the best role model in the world.
✖ John is very much a 'brains over brawn' character. He's good in a brawl, but he'd much rather outsmart his opponents then beat them up, although he's not above kicking them while they're down. Or fighting dirty or using magic or.... John isn't a very nice man, and he'll be the first to say so. Manipulation and cunning are how he prefers to win against his opponents, and always doing so with a grand 'fuck you, mate.'
✖ He's not a particularly nice person, but he doesn't have to be; he's there to keep the dangerous magics of Special Collections out of the hands of the students and to use them for his own ends.
✖ Library rules are here. For those of you with daylight restrictions who wish to use the library, email me & we'll set up a post.
✖ Visually, well, he was designed to look like Sting, although DC mandated that Vertigo move away from that fairly early on. So, his PB is Paul Bettany.

☢ Answers to Ahddie, Ahds, Hey You, and almost anything else directed at me.
☢ If you light a candle and say my name three times to a darkened mirror, I'll appear and steal all your Lucky Charms.
☢ I live with two cats (Circe and Urdnot Toph) and a Lad, my house is filled with books and comics, and I play too much SWTOR & Mass Effect for my own good.
☢ If you can see me on AIM (lyrical discord) or gchat then that generally means I'm around. You can ALWAYS always always catch me on email.
☢ I also play atreideslioness, but she's off home for the summer. Previously played death_of_hope, dojima_hime, gorka_wolf, and ofthewilds. Plus numerous NPCs to enable people, because that's what I do.
FYI - I will be AFK over the 4th of July weekend at a con. If I am super-slow pinging you back, that is why. It's not you, it's my schedule.
Questions, comments, pie, naked? *halos*
