introduction, rudolf

Hi there!
Hello! I'm Kat, and I'm new here (although some of you I've played with in other games).

For my first character, I bring an obscure character from an obscure fandom: the Crown Prince Rudolf, heir to the Habsburg empire, from the Japanese (all-female) version of the musical "Elisabeth." He's an idealist, easily influenced, and sort-of attention starved. Canon-wise, he's being pulled just before his suicide, after his father, Emperor Franz-Josef, has discovered that he was involved in a plot to overthrow the current regime (i.e. Franz) and decided to hush up his son's involvement in said plot. Rudolf appealed to his mother, the Empress Elisabeth, for help, but she turned him down, essentially saying he was a big boy and could handle his own problems. I'm playing him mostly to musical canon, with a dash of history thrown in (yes to his wife and daughter, no to his mistress, Marie Vetsera).

Rudolf is arriving on the next day change along with, but not WITH, his "best friend", Der Tod (Death). Rudolf is unaware of his friend's true nature. All he knows is that this man has been there for him when no one else was.

So, if anyone would like to play greeter to a very confused young man, or plot with him, please feel free to hit me up. My email is sddalek[at]gmail[dot]com. My AIM is also sddalek, but sadly, when on my home computer, it doesn't like loading (old computer + dial-up = fail).

Hey Kat! Amy finally dragged you in, huh? Welcome around, though, seriously, it's good to see you. Uh, Jen here, obviously, you probably recognize the journal. I know you know some of my characters already, so I'll keep the rundown brief.

Tonks - Witch, pregnant, bright hair

Legolas - Elf, pretty, pointy ears, good with a bow, cheerful

Faith - Slayer, badass, fun to be around, a bit sarcastic

Armand - Vampire, beautiful, brat

Gabrielle(Xena) - This one is new, so I'll go into more detail. Gabrielle is Xena's cute blond bardic sidekick. She can hold her own in a fight, but doesn't love violence so much. Uh, generally cheerful, optimistic, likes to tell stories.

Adam(The Mercy Thompson Series) - Another new one! Alpha male werewolf, handsome, neat freak, dominant, and so on.

Anyway, as you can see, I have my normal ten thousand characters, so if you want plottage, let me know! <3

Hello again! Yep.^^ School's been hectic this term, so I haven't had as much free time as I'd have liked, and I haven't had a muse until recently. But, yay RP time!

The only one of your characters I don't know at all is Adam, since I don't know the Mercy Thompson books at all. Rudolf will probably like most of your babies. The idea of having multiple good friends will be fun for him to discover. Depending on how/when he meets Armand, he could be drawn to him. Since I'm not too familiar with Anne Rice's vampires, was Armand active in Europe during the late 19th century? If so, he'd know of the historical Crown Prince. Might make for interesting interaction at some point.^^

Looking forward to playing with you again!

Adam is pretty. What else do you need to know? hee! Uh, yeah, Armand would have actually heard of him, for sure. He's not the most politically aware being ever, but I really doubt he'd miss something like that. And I agree, that would be interesting! We must do this.

If you want one of my other characters (Faith, Tonks, Gabrielle, Legolas) for greeting duty, let me know :-D

	Now I finally know what Takarazuka is. I always wondered (and forgot to do my research). Anyway, hello~ I'm Gata. I play Simon Tam from Firefly. Simon is a socially awkward but devoted-to-his-friends/family/crew/etc young doctor-turned-fugitive. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Takarazuka is fun and amazing and full of sequins and feathers.^^ Nice to meet you Gata! I've sadly only seen the pilot episode for Firefly, but I sort-of remember Simon. He's the one with the sister the bad guys want, yes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I really need to check out some Takarazuka. (I was a theatre major + Japanese minor in undergrad. It's sort of perfect, lol.) And yes, that's him! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Be warned: it is very addictive and very expensive. But, it is also VERY worth it. If you can, searching certain video sites with that keyword will find you clips. I recommend Elisabeth, obviously. To be fair, it's the only thing I've seen all the way through. Yay, I remembered correctly! I need to see more of Firefly, but I haven't had the chance. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hello again! I remember Xena and Giselle quite well, and I know Robin (my mother's just a teensy bit obsessed with Kevin Costner^^ - we bought her the action figure for Mother's Day waay back when the movie came out). I've seen a couple of episodes of Pushing Daisies, so I have an idea of Olive, but the others are completely new to me. Looking forward to figuring them out in game, though.
