Infotrain: I'mma Lemming
I have no new characters, but I have new gifs. We all know what's really important, here.
The Characters:
She's beauty, she's grace, she'll kick you in the face!
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 Japanese girl (and FH SENIOR WOO WOO!) who loves sports and cute boys and is not quite as fond of academic subjects! Oops!
☪ Favorite class? GYM. Minako is a volleyball CHAMP, goes running daily, is pretty darn competent at Kendo, and does Judo 'for self-defense!' Girl be toned.
☪ 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.
☪ 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.
☪ But! She's also sekkritly a Guardian of Love a Justice - Sailor Venus!
☪ 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.
So I can tell you, God hates our kind most especially. The cheats. The hellblazers. The collaborators.
Look -- this is what Heaven has to say to the likes of us.
Walking Disaster: John Constantine (Librarian)
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 only 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.

The Empress and Princess Royal: Ghanima Atreides (Teacher - Mad Kings & Queens)
Children of Dune Miniseries, Post-Canon.
PB: Jessica Brooks
Spotlight on Fandom is here.
♠ Ghanima is one of those people whom it is hard to miss. Tall, blonde, and striking, with the deep blue-on-blue glowing eyes (yes, they are VERY NOTICEABLE) of the Fremen of Dune.
♠ Ghanima is the daughter of Paul Atreides and his Fremen concubine Chani, step-daughter to previous student/townie (irulan_atreides), and the twin sister to Leto Atreides II (future_sandworm). Timeline-wise, she's from Leto's present and is just a bit behind Irulan. Oh, Fandom Weird, how we love you.
♠ She is the Princess Royal of the Known Universe, Empress of the Imperium, and a potential harbinger of the Golden Path. Currently, she's a liberal arts teacher at Fandom High.
♠ Has absolutely no qualms about stabbing you in the back. Ghanima has a strong sense of morality and duty, it's just that her morals are very very different than yours. Oh, and if you threaten her students, you're dead. You just don't know it yet.
♠ Ghanima is Pre-born; her mother, Chani, consumed so much melange during her pregnancy that Leto and Ghanima awoke to full, adult consciousness before birth, receiving the genetic memories of both their male and female ancestors. This means she has voices in her head. Lots and lots of voices, and they're all real. She's got excellent mental shielding, but probably would register strangely to any telepathic abilities.
♠ Ten-thousand years in her future, a Duncan Idaho ghola will mention that "the Tleilaxu history said Ghanima had died after a relatively normal life." The Tleilaxu obviously never heard of Fandom.
It became common knowledge in the streets that a wise man paid Surreal in advance.
The Deadly Courtesan: Surreal SaDiablo (Alumni)
The Black Jewels, Early canon.
Original Infopost here.
PB: Aishwarya Rai
♥ Surreal is twenty, angry at the world, and just spent about two months as a cat. 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 came to FH from canon. She's a *bit* less feral now, but not by much.
♥ 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.
♥ Likes knives. A lot. She's been training with them since she could walk and is never without at least one. She's a fair hand at poisons, too, having assisted her mother and Tersa as a child.
♥ Surreal is a witch, an orphan, former amateur whore and current courtesan apprentice, thief, an aspiring assassin, and no, she is not interested in a heart-to-heart. Ever.
♥ 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.
I love Christmas Eve. Maybe even more so than Christmas itself. It's the one night of the year when the entire world just...stops.
In those few hours before the dawn - human, mutant, everyone, just sort of holds their breath in sweet anticipation...waiting to see how badly they're going to be disappointed in the morning.
In its own tragic way...it's kind of romantic. That's why I love Christmas Eve.
The Telepathic Troublemaker: Emma Grace Frost, Alumni
X-Men/Generation X
PB: Jessica Stam
Please go here to let me know if Ems could read your 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.
♦ Finishing her final semester at Empire State University, with a triple major in business, human development, and psychology, and an MBA. Everything is actually done for her majors, and Emma refers to herself as 'graduated,' but she's taking three gym classes and a bio "for fun" and to stay eligible for the fencing team for spring semester.
♦ Dating Jack Priest, actually admits she's dating Jack Priest, but will flirt outrageously with you if you're pretty and/or brilliant. Not above trying to seduce you and bring you home to her boyfriend.

☢ Contrary to popular rumor, I am not a leprechaun. I do, however, bite.
☢ Freelance theater techie and part-time herder of SCIENCE! students. Will eventually stop talking in Klingon, I swear.
☢ Currently stumbling my way through Dragon Age: Inquisition, and having FEELS, dammit. I blame seeks_truth.
☢ If you can see me on AIM (lyrical discord) or gchat then that generally means I'm around. Or just shoot me an email, I check it pretty often.
