Point of Order: I am off for travel for work! Meaning that I will not be doing DEs until I get back to the office on the 7th. Open from now til then!

Topic, from Amanda:

I would love to see the lists of people you almost-but-didn't app, regardless of the situation or why the not-apping happened. Who did you look at in your books, movies, tvs, comics, everywhere and have that strong connection of "Oh, but I could've or almost apped that one"?

Me? Shepherd Book, Siuan Sanche, and Gregoire de Fronsac. And Edmond Dantes!

I always wanted to app Caleb the mad preacher, but I never figured out a way to do it without him being celled or dead inside a day.

Fargo, from 'Eureka'. Anamaria, from PotC1. The Disreputable Dog, from the Abhorsen Trilogy. Adora Belle Dearheart from the Discworld. Banichi from the 'Foreigner' series by C.J. Cherryh.

...I almost apped Burt Gummer, but then realized he's one of those people who, like Mother, should not be given access to powerful weapons.

Even if it would be epicly hilarious.

...speaking of, I need to still write what happened to Mother after Milliways went Boom! and then went !mooB.

Spock. I didn't really need another impassive logical guy who had trouble with emotions, but man he was tempting anyway.

...Mmph, I know there have been others! And some of them even talked and made facial expressions! But I can't remember who else, atm.

Toyed with Alfred Pennyworth and Jim Gordon. And really was tempted by Pere Callahan from The Dark Tower but felt that I was totally the wrong person to play him. Had the best entry line, though. Figuring he was in the afterlife, he would immediately ask, "have the Red Sox won the World Series?"

[innerbrat]

Ellie, from Up.
Sally, from the Discworld.
Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender
Polly from Polly and the Pirates
The Pirate Captain from The Pirates! In an adventure with [X]

Antimony Carver from Gunnerkrigg Court

..eeeefellow fan of Polly and Hope!

[innerbrat]

Who isn't a fan of Hope, really?

[the_fairest]

Eee! I love Alfred!

[crazyfurries]

well, certain parties who are currently registering at 65% original organic parts or less.

[tauntingdragons]

Of the ones I can think of, some of which would be re-apps: Revan (of Star Wars), Prince Aleksander Ferdinand (of Leviathan), Leo Valdez (of the The Lost Heroes of Olympus), Gwaine (of BBC's Merlin), Hale (of Lost Girl), Will Solace (of Percy Jackson/The Lost Heroes of Olympus), and Loki (of Thor/Avengers). I might actually get around to apping a couple of them still? Maybe?

[innerbrat]

Other than her.

(Psycho villainesses don't count.)

[misslucyjane]

Henry V
Vince Noir from The Mighty Boosh
Virginia Dare from 1602
Anne Elliott from Persuasion

[storybrooke]

Bruce Banner. Bo. Buffy Summers. Kate Austen. Jess Day. Lily Bell. Number Six. Brienne of Tarth. Ygritte. Olivia Pope. Andy Dwyer. Peter Bishop.

(Actually, some of those are not could have or almost, but maybe possibly. >.>)

[muji]

DO IT.

*helpful*

[notinthebook]

Oh, man. So many. Let's see...

Aragorn, Lord of the Rings
Jack Shephard, Lost

Jaime Lannister, Jon Snow, Robb Stark, A Song of Ice and Fire
Meg Murry, Poly O'Keefe, The Time Quintet

Lee Adama, Battlestar Galactica
Sookie Stackhouse, True Blood
Betty Cooper, Archie comics
Morgana, Merlin


Once again, mostly dudes. Hm!

[storybrooke]

One is more imminent! Coughpetercough.

[crazyfurries]

(true. except for batting practice. Just make sure to bury them up to their necks first.)

[leeshajoy]

There have been a lot over the years, so I'll just list the ones I can remember, in no particular order:

Ranma Saotome, Ranma 1/2
the Lady, Discworld series
Wheatley, Portal 2
Michelle Jocasta, Skin Deep
the Thief, The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut
Puss in Boots, No Rest for the Wicked
Daniel, Amnesia: The Dark Descent
the catgirls, Something Positive
Raz, Psychonauts (might still do this one!)

[saphyria]

If your Edmond Dantes would be from the book canon, YOU SHOULD TOTALLY APP HIM. Because AWESOME.

Erm. I may actually be in the process of rereading that awesome, silly, messed-up book of DRAMA and SUSPENSE and utter delight. I don't think any movie version has ever done it justice.

I almost apped... Let's see. Charlotte from Making Fiends, Luxord from Kingdom Hearts, Xellos from The Slayers, Vivi from Final Fantasy IX, Kid from Chrono Cross.

[nocarename]

Beka Rosselin-Metadi, Mageworlds Series
Remo Williams, Destroyer Novels
Rozalin, Disgaea 2

I couldn't find anyone from the 163x series that wouldn't cause terrible damage to the entire universe and try and set up an import/export business at the very least (At most they'd probably try and conquer a continent. So it goes.).

[bjornwilde]

OMG Polly IS made of awesome! I still need to read the second series.
