absalom, absalom! ([info]hymnalize) wrote in [info]atthegates_ooc,

hello again! tiff here, with her lack of capital letters & proper punctuation (i hope you do not mind me butchering the english language ooc-ly -- i just came back from the doctor's and am sorely needing coffee to wake me up because this is usually when i am still snoozing). i've brought my second character in already because i intend to make a nest and stay here and i've got more on my to-do list!!, but for all intents & purposes, i give you sachiel, my very first angel~.

sachiel, in a nutshell, has been around on earth for about four-hundred years, made acquaintances with several notable figures in history and earnestly refers to them by first name in casual conversation, is delighted by humans and the strange things they do, and has learned emotion -- or as much emotion as an angel can learn. after you spend hundreds of years with one of God's creations, it's about time you learn what makes them tick. he is, of course, earnestly trying to get people to join Heaven's ranks, but a recent problem in the angel hierarchy (as per Hellblazer canon, an angel can die, which occurred, and now there's a GAPING HOLE in the power structure -- guess who got to fill it) has given him new responsibilities regarding the judgement of human souls. he's intended to be part of a good cop/bad cop angel pair, equal parts comedic and hilarious as well as plot-providing, and i hope you will all give him everything you've got.

for now, he calls himself alton absalom brown and runs a tiny kitchen restaurant called Absalom Brown's Good Eats Ole Lassie, which is essentially that foodie mecca thing called a 'gastropub' -- think lots of delicious, greasy things, lots of pouring beer into food, etc. (For mods: would it be all right to e-mail you a description of aforementioned restaurant so it may be added to the Places to Know page? bat eyelash, bat eyelash), serving mundanes & whomever -- though demons will, of course, earn a cursory glance from the chef. i am slowly realizing that this is an awesome little opportunity for characters to neatly slide in, so if you ever feel the itch to play a waitress... not that i am hinting at anything.

potential lines i'd loved to see filled: human acquaintances/"friends", of course hammering out details of his relationship w/ the other two angels. demon types for him to get old and ornery at. everything.

So there is this thing where I used to play a sous-chef character in an American Gods-type game, and this sous-chef was very surly human-shaped God of Punk who looked worryingly like Anthony Bourdain. And occasionally I think about porting him into Gates.

There is also the thing where I wrote a sense-obsessed, always-hungry, glutton version of what was for all intents and purposes the Big Bad Wolf (Wolf from The 10th Kingdom, specifically, but). And sometimes I think about porting him over to Gates. And you are clearly just a bad influence on my brain, which cannot afford to do these things but wants to anyway. So thanks for that. =/

Re: the restaurant, go ahead and hit up the mod e-mail with what's on your delicious mind, and if you'd like to include a photo that is amazing but not mandatory. I can update the journal after work tonight and in the meantime will think about all the characters I will be sending to interact with Sachiel. (Julia Rayne has a habit of visiting restaurants until she's a regular. John here may stop by occasionally, though likely to try and keep Sachiel as a contact as much as for the food.)

i am such a proponent of this idea and do not regret being the bad influence on your brain. in fact, i intend to keep being just that. first of all, anthony bourdain is HILARIOUS, and just imagining him in character-form absolutely delights me. if/when you port him into gates, i hope you know he is required to be working with sachiel -- or else. & also, gluttonous wolf (10TH KINGDOM NO LESS, BE STILL MY HEART!!) would be his most valuable customer. look at these opportunities. let them sink into your mind. THINK ON THEM.

writing e-mail & making graphic as i speak/type. i demand all the cr.

I love you for doing this to Dora. Wolf was my favourite.

It's like hearing my words spoken in an entirely new voice. Weird.

DO IT. i'm waiting on julie to bring his other half, but if there were some more angels, that'd be dandy.

AND RE: PLOT WITH SACHIEL & FURTUR -- I love it, give it me, etc. i think sachiel would be very finger-wagging at furtur and i see a lot of potential hilariosity in their imagined exchanges.

SO VERY TEMPTING (an employee line could be delicious~). And I like where you're going with this, Furtur could use a good rivalry indeed.

/slides in with my cdj

I agree re: employee line, and if you could see me, I'm making an excellent begging face. As for Furtur (I keep wanting to type future, hkshfkja), a good rivalry he shall have. And it'll be with Bill Nighy! What more could you want?

Hi Tiff! I'm Ros ([info]rosasolis -- my only character thus far is the demon Gremory, who is always up for making lives difficult either directly or indirectly. I bet she & Sachiel have historical acquaintances in common! Though maybe Nero is just one of hers... ;)

(Also, Yoshi is faaabulous!)

hi ros! hope you don't mind me adding your cdj~. as for gremory, she can certainly have some historical acquaintances with sachiel and maybe they've previously ran into each other over the centuries? does she know his dear friends ben franklin and henry viii? hahaha.

SCREAMING. Jegudiel ADORES HIM. Be her eccentric uncle-figure on earth?? Which is to say, he shares a lot of her mentalities about humans and the earth. She'll cover his walls in her miniatures. Come people-watch with her!
