Substitute DE
So I'm home sick and since there's no DE posted yet, I'll nab it. I've actually two questions and feel free to answer both, one or neither.
1. What metrics do you use to decide on applying a character?
2. What character (not necessarily from your canon) would you love to see in Bar?
And now for soup.

no subject
1. I look at what intrigues me about the character. Is it the personality, the skills/abilities, the world? Do I want to run the character through their canon or have them just come in during bits of it? I also take a good look at the characters mannerisms to decide if I could really pull it off. For instance I would love to do Dr. Henry McCoy but there is no way I am eloquent enough to do him justice. I also try to keep in mind that a character I enjoy reading/watching isn't necessarily going to be a character I enjoy playing. And mixed_muses. Mixed_muses is good for getting the urge out and all.
2. Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. And no, I know I would never be able to write him well enough to do him justice (see my answer above with Henry McCoy).
