The Silver Age: OOC

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store on the Citadel.

…  I mean, okay, who doesn't want to just go say that all the time? It's Alice again, back with a second character, Commander (Jane) Shepard of the Mass Effect games. She's a space marine from the 2180's, where she flies around the galaxy shooting people for the greater good. (There's an epic plot there - it involves space squid robots - but I'll spare you the mushy details.) She's a decorated soldier, an experienced commander, and although she started out very heroic and moral and upstanding, there's this thing where she died and got put back together by a terrorist organization, which wasn't the healthiest or most psychologically beneficial experience. But on the whole, she is still a pretty stereotypical ~hero - even if she occasionally punches people to make them do what she wants them to. They had it coming, okay?

(In game terms, for those of you familiar with Mass Effect's system - imagine that she's a Spacer/War Hero, Vanguard, and makes mostly Paragon choices?)

Since she's used to a world with FTL space travel, AI computers and aliens, and completely equal rights for women, coming to 1964 is going to be a huge, jarring shock for her. Come volunteer to help her through it - or make it way, way more confusing! And bear with all my repeating of all the ridiculously quotable Bioware oneliners from this game! (.... see above.)

Hola, Patricia here with my fourth character *shifty eyes*

This here is Romanadvoratrelundar aka Romana (II) from Doctor Who. She is a Time Lady and a former companion of the Fourth incarnation of the Doctor. I'm bringing her sometime after her last appearance on the show (Warrior's Gate) so she has spent the last decades in a small universe known as E-Space, pretty much saving the day and learning new things the way the Doctor does in this universe.

As she is a new arrival she is not aware of how many times the Doctor has regenerated already (but she won't be surprised) and doesn't know about the Time War either. She's a nice person once you get to know her, but she's also a bit odd so I'm sure she'll fit right in. :D

And I think that's it for now. Let me know if you have any plot bunnies for her!

Hey guys! Okay, so, Kendra asked if I would post some details about the blizzard Jadis created so of course I will oblige.

It's going to make its way across the whole state, so everyone should be experiencing the effects at some point. And I predict it lasting a week in real time and in game time, most likely? Also, it's about two feet of snow, twenty-four inches would be what weatherfolk are saying, and there's also a nice layer of ice covering the roads and sidewalks and all of that. The roads are a mess anyway, public transportation sucks now, and as the snow is plowed it's probably pushed along the sides of the roads making it dangerous by creating gigantic piles of dirty, slushy shit.

There's not really any sun either. So it won't melt. Though I'm not sure if people want it to melt after the week and thus have runny slush everywhere or if you all want Jadis to just make it go poof and disappear? Whichever is easier!

Um, yeah. Nighttime temperatures are below zero and the 'high' for the daytime would probably be about 10 degrees. Like how winter usually is in a big city. Cold, snowy, windy, gross. I live in DC and I pretty much hate winter, so. XD

Chris again (also playing Amy and Raven), w/ my third active character, Dean Thomas. Dean's coming in right around November 1997, meaning somewhere in Book 7 after he goes on the run but before he hooks up with Griphook the goblin. I'm looking forward to playing with the rest of the HP cast, and with having him meet everyone else as well.

Dean was raised as a muggle in London, so he's a city boy at heart, just not... this city. ;P

Anyway, drop me a comment/email/message/whatever.

And bundle up nice and warm!

I'm back! SOrry about that- baby daddy drama at it's worst. But everything's settled. What'd I miss?
