Characters I Have Considered Apping At Milliways, But Would Not Actually App, For Various Reasons:

1. Constable Fuse, from Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. ETA: Fuse would suck at Milliways for reasons laid out in a comment below. However, I think he'd make a splendid Apharsites character for someone who knew his canon well.

2. Camilla n'ha Kyria, from the Darkover novels by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

3. White Fang, from White Fang, by Jack London.

4. Sergeant Frank William Preston of the North-West Mounted Police, from Challenge of the Yukon.

5. Father Eugene Mackenzie, MI6's on-staff priest, from "Eleanor Rigby". (No, seriously. Of course he's writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear, and no one is saved at the funeral, etc. None of the people in his congregation officially exist.)

6. Aule, the smith of the Valar, from The Silmarillion. Similarly, no go on Ulmo.


Characters I Have Considered Apping And Might Conceivably App Someday, Maybe, After One Or More Of The Others I Play Is Gone:

1. Romilly MacAran, from Hawkmistress!, by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

2. Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter of Three Firs, from Sheepfarmer's Daughter, Divided Allegiance, and Oath of Gold, by Elizabeth Moon.

3. Major Thomas Condon Hogarth, from "Space Oddity" by David Bowie and "Major Tom" by Peter Schilling. (We do not speak of his mention in "Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie, thank you.)

4. Kull, from Robert E. Howard's King Kull, though if I were to app him I'd really need someone to app a Brule to go along with him.

5. Randolph Carter, from H. P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands cycle.


The Only Character I Intend To App Any Time Soon, Thank You Very Much:

Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, from Doctor Who.

Father Eugene Mackenzie
That's got to be the most awesome thing I've heard all week.

... Excuse me while I squeal massively like a teenybopper fangirl.

BRIGADIER!!!!! :D :D :D

[camwyn]

I need to snag some of his canon first. I've put down a bid on "Doctor Who and the Silurians" on eBay but will be keeping an eye out for other episodes as I go. He, like Annie, will be another character who cannot ever be in the room at the same time as Sergeant Wells. I would RPsterbate myself into a migraine.

White Fang is an amazing character, and I can see how amusing it would be to roleplay someone who is intelligent and expressive but can't actually talk or understand what people say. Definitely a challenge.

[camwyn]

The player who runs Gromit, or who did run Gromit (I think RL ate her, poor thing), did an absolutely amazing job with the technically non-verbal communication. And our Pokemon characters do pretty darn well with nothing but their names to speak by. White Fang would be harder, but quite rewarding.

However, roughly three quarters of the Bar would be trying to love him into total rehabilition within seconds of his arrival, three-sixteenths would be trying to make him into an even more vicious guard dog or Ultimate Fighter, and the remainder would probably be the nicer lycanthropes.

*dances* He's also in 'Battlefield', one of the 7th Doc-Ace eps.

:D :D :D

[camwyn]

Hm.

For sale used at Amazon.

You're going to app the Brigadier? Cool! I'm assuming from fairly early in his life, not after he retired and became a Maths teacher, though that has possiblities too.

Is anyone at Milliways doing The Doctor?

[camwyn]

Yeah, earlier on allows for more entertaining possibilities along the way. And I promise not to suddenly decide that his character development calls for- Well, I was gonna mention some of the twists I've seen hit characters at Milliways, but he's looking at me very sternly indeed, so I won't mention them.

And yeah, we've got thedoctorwho. Currently he's Ten, though we've had prior regenerations turn up as well.

Father Eugene Mackenzie, MI6's on-staff priest, from "Eleanor Rigby". (No, seriously. Of course he's writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear, and no one is saved at the funeral, etc. None of the people in his congregation officially exist.)

So Eleanor Rigby was Urania Jones' codename, then?

I love this cncept so very, very much.

[camwyn]

Leave me alone with a song that mentions someone imaginary by name for long enough, and I can probably cough up a reasonable character to match. Eleanor herself is an agent, of course. Hence the face in the jar by the door.

And the Female Dave Lister was the new Brigadier.

[camwyn]

Works as well as anything else, doesn't it?

[camwyn]

....


Thankfully I haven't watched that ep of Red Dwarf.

[parke-matru.livejournal.com]

I considered apping Joan from Maxwell's Silver Hammer, even wrote a lengthy character background for the app.(She studied pataphysical science! There has to be an interesting backstory there.)

But like Skippy, I decided she worked better as the subject of a fic than a pup.

For the best, since when going over the cast list I realized someone has apped Maxwell . . . and that would go badly.

[cleverthylacine]

I keep wanting to app Pellew, but I don't know who's playing Kennedy and Hornblower over there. And I have no idea how Kennedy would react. Depending upon the player's view of things (and the fact that I tend to be more book-canon/history, simply because I'm more familiar with it)...it could be interesting.

[ex_amurderofcrows752]

Or you could resume at APHAR where you are MISSED instead of piling more into Milliways. :(

[camwyn]

And I appreciate being missed, but when I app the Brigadier, I'm probably going to remove Jah-lila from circulation. Possibly Gimli as well- as much as I love him and the Bar needs a smith, I don't really have much plot-call for him. So that's two shucked off for one put on.

Aphar is a fascinating game and it tends to suck the entirety of my brain away. I was established at Milliways first, and know more people there OOCly as well as ICly. I have been happy at both places- but I have been happier at Milliways longer, and the only way I could really pick up at Aphar again would be if I dropped Milliways or cut it down severely, which I would really rather not do.

[spiderine.livejournal.com]

I've always wanted to app Promethea. Since she comes from the place where all tales are born, she'd be perfect for Milliways. But I don't have the time to do her properly.

[ex_amurderofcrows752]

;_;

We are still allowed to Miss the Spoon. :(

[camwyn]

No arguments there. hell, I miss the little maniac too sometimes.







.... dear brane, no. Bad enough you want a Dead!Joe to stagger in and demand to know whether England won. No recruiting for a Captain Ryan.

5. Father Eugene Mackenzie, MI6's on-staff priest, from "Eleanor Rigby". (No, seriously. Of course he's writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear, and no one is saved at the funeral, etc. None of the people in his congregation officially exist.)

...

My brain loves you. It just wants you to know this, in case you'd forgotten.

[prodigal.livejournal.com]

By that, I mean that Lethbridge-Stewart had retired by the time of the episde, and the new head of UNIT was a woman.* The actress who played her was the same one that played the female version of Lister in that one Red Dwarf episode.



*No strap-on jokes, please.

[prodigal.livejournal.com]

Oh HELL to the yeah.

[camwyn]

Damn. Father Mackenzie seems to be the most popular of all the rejected candidates.
