Intro post
Hey guys! My name's Ash and I'm from near Houston, TX... I'm brand new to the game, but I read the premise and character list and couldn't resist, everything looked amazing. I'm also a big fan of Neil Gaiman, so that helped convince me, too. :)
I'm playing New God, 'Dieting', with a PB of Beth Ditto. She is loud, funny, loquacious and very outgoing, but she's also capricious, moody, and bitchy as hell when she wants to be. Not to mention fickle! She is very confident in her own body and strives to make others feel bad about their own, though it's usually in quite a passive-aggressive way (just plant the seeds of insecurity and then let them blossom!). Because of the current obsession with body image, she is thriving quite nicely in popularity. She works as a freelance makeup artist named Olivia as her 'cover' to be around mortals (and what's better for her ego than spending her day around models and actors?!).
It makes sense that Olivia would be in tight with Gods of areas like Media, Paparazzi, Fast Food, etc, and she wouldn't be stoked about ones like Fitness or any kind of health-related fields. She prefers people who fad-diet to those who do it correctly, obviously, because fad diets never work and thus it keeps them coming back for more constantly.
I have her application up on her journal if anyone's interested, I'll be working on a shiny pretty HTML-laden profile for her tonight.
I am super-active and quick about tags, and I am open to playing with anybody. Please hit me up via AIM at matilda reads or email me at readyalikeabook@yahoo.com to plot or plan some lines, I'm ready to jump in!
