Some things you should know

Drosselmeyeer is an exciting new character that you'll want to know. Drosselmeyer is a sociopath nice old man who wants nothing more than to see people suffer see interesting stories.

I'm sure you'll all pick up on this if you play with Drosselmeyer. So this post is really about something else. Drosselmeyer has this power. Drosselmeyer can write stories that become reality. I'm sure you can see why this is a good power to have when your greatest joy in life is watching epic tragedies destroy peoples' lives. Drosselmeyer is also pretty good at direct and indirect manipulation which also helps him stay entertained.

I'd love to see him play his games in Milliways. In order to do that I'll need your help. Drosselmeyer can use his power to alter peoples' stories. This means Drosselmeyer can affect significant changes. One of the ways this could be used is to write someone into a story they do not belong in. I'm sure you guys can think of some other cool things that can be done. Basically if you can think of a cool element or idea from a any story that you would like to see inflicted on your character let me know and we can work something out. This can be short term or long term or whatever.

Drosselmeyer has the prince shatter his own heart to save the village. This leaves the prince without any emotions. A significant section of canon is devoted to the quest to return the prince's emotions one by one. Drosselmeyer makes sure that the emotions first returned are the most painful. Loneliness and envy and I'm sure you see how this works.

Drosselmeyer also inserts a character into the story who doesn't belong because he is not pleased with the story's direction. Since his canon is relatively off-beat he ends up taking a duck and turning her into a girl so that he can get the story back on track for tragedy.

And when Drosselmeyer truly feels that a story needs rescuing he always has the option of simply writing it as he wants it to be. This is not completely effective for a number of reasons. It is still the most powerful tool he has.

If any of you were looking to shake things up for a character or if you felt that things were going a little too well then you should contact me via AIM because I'd love to work something out.

It is also possible that I will contact some people directly if I have ideas for story-ness. I know I don't have to say it but feel free to say no. It won't hurt my feelings if you do.

I will be posting Drosselmeyer into the bar shortly so this seems like a good time to mention that I consider any of his posts to be perpetually open for interaction. So don't feel like a post has been up too long so you shouldn't bother me. I want to be bothered.

Now is the part where you do questions or comments or other things related.

I WILL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. I am about as active in milliways as a thing that is inactive. So.

PRINCESS TUTU IS ALL THAT IS EXCELLENT.

ALMOST ALL THE FIRST OPINIONS YOU FORM ABOUT THE CHARACTERS WILL BE WRONG.

(Unless you think Ahiru is the cutest thing ever. That would be correct.)

[identity profile] bluespells.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
YES. YES THIS.

HOW MUCH DO I LOVE YOU GUYS RIGHT NOW?

HI- uh, how about I just call you grandpa to simplify it?

[identity profile] bluespells.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Um. Um. Billy can't handle getting anywhere near him right now, but I just wanted to say how completely damn awesome you are. <3

He's a marvel character. His life will never not be full of angst and woe. And he's got plenty of meddling sociopaths.
ashen_key: (this is good...right?)

[personal profile] ashen_key 2008-10-05 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
...oh, awesome.

I have utterly no ideas for any of my characters yet, but...COOL.
ashen_key: (fancy that)

[personal profile] ashen_key 2008-10-05 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Certainly!

In the meantime, though, I look forward to reading his threads!

...I am wondering if Drossmeyer has not already had a crack at tragedifying Hoodie canon. :D

YOU DID IT YOU DID IT YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD DO IT AND INDEED YOU DID~

--sorry, wrong fairytale.
