app this plz!

And it's almost that time again!! You guys know the drill - you want castmembers and I wanna help you find them! Just comment below with the name of your canon, the characters you have and the characters you'd like to see in-bar!

Does it have to be castmates, or can it be anybody? Because I play only one character, from Homestuck (though I'd appreciate the addition of more Homestucks, it's true) and I can think of plenty of other fandoms I'd like to see characters from in-bar.

Still Missy different account

[personal profile] muckrakeress 2012-10-06 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
It can be absolutely any characters you'd like to see in Bar, as long as they're not on the reserve list or already taken :) Just be sure to get back to me by Seven PM EST tomorrow, 'cause that's when the ad's going up.

Oh, if anyone's interested and wants to see headaches happen-

Planet of the Apes. I have Zira as she is in the book, but any apes from any other version of the canon would be fascinating to see. (And would cause a great deal of blinking because the ape society in the book is very different from what we see in the movies/cartoon/comic/etc.) Caesar from Rise of the Planet of the Apes especially.

Okay! So I'll list us as having Zira (Bookverse), but requesting any other characters from any other version, movie or bookverse, with an emphasis on wanting Cesar (And the fandom will be listed as Planet of the Apes - all types! :) ).

You know what the bar needs? William Shakespeare. After all we've had Tolkein and we have Orpheus and I am sure we've had other famous creative people so why not Shakespeare? There's even a canon that features him as a protagonist, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel which paints him as one of the best conjurers of the world. What could be cooler right? How about him being immortal as well?

Why no, this wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Palamedes is his BFF in the books. Not at all. We can just gloss over the poor hygiene though ok?

Hee, that'd be fun! I'm listing the quest as being specifically for TSOTINF-verse Shakespeare, unless you'd prefer another verse.

[personal profile] bjornwilde 2012-10-06 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel one. = D

We need Big Bang Theory muses!

I'd be most interested in a season 1 Leonard, but anyone from first season would be excellent. :)

My ever-hopeless call: Codex Alera. We've got Tavi, Kitai, Max, and Fade. Plz to be having anyone else, or there will be a sadfaced Lee.

Aww!

Still got you from the last version I have of the ad, and I double-checked the cast list to make sure you don't have new editions :)

Here's a call for Star Trek canonmates. I've got Sariel Rager from The next Generation. We've also got Data and Lore, Kirk and McCoy from the original series, Janeway from Voyager, and it looks like a rebooted!Spock as well. Not sure if the Garak, rebooted!Chekhov and Sulu we had are still around, alas.
Seeking: I can't speak for the other Trek muns, but I'd personally love a Geordi in the bar. It'd also be pretty brilliant to have a Sisko, a Martok, or a Valeris. And of course, minor characters are love. *coughs*

Cast lists says you're down to Sariel, Data, Lore, Kirk, McCoy, Janeway, and Reboot!Spock :)

(Aww, Geordi <3). Copied down your specific request and made note of canon points!

It seems like a long shot, but members of the Fallen London/Echo Bazaar cast would be wonderful! I have vague notions of apping the Manager of the Royal Bethlehem Hotel at some point, or the Capering Relicker. (After I find out what the hell their respective deals are.)

Of course, this pretty much demands a mun who is either a veteran of the game, or willing to spoil the shit out of it through the various Echo Bazaar/Fallen London wikis. I'm playing as fast as I can manage, and it's taken me two months just to start getting at the really juicy stuff.

I recommend these prominent NPCs who I have encountered:
- F. F. Gebrandt, an entrepreneurial and somewhat aged woman of science
- The Topsy King, an incomprehensibly insane vagrant who reigns over the rickety high-altitude slum known as the Flit
- The Duchess, who I haven't found out much about but apparently she has a lot of heavy-duty secrets going on. She really, really likes cats, and she's known as "Fallen London's most alarming aristocrat".
- The Shivering Relicker, a woman whose job is to collect random useful junk in the company of a talking rat named Pinnock, and who seems to have been mentally scarred by Things Man Was Not Meant To Know. This is probably why she always seems to be feeling a chill.
- The Starveling Cat, a legendary alley-cat that seems to be basically a ball of rage, malice, and hunger (you would not believe how much it eats) that happens to have fur. And claws. It has supposedly been around since the time of the First City -- London is the Fifth, post-Fall -- which would be fairly incredible were it true because a) that was multiple millennia ago and b) it's difficult to find anything in Fallen London that predates the Fall. The Starveling Cat is almost certainly tangled up with the supernatural elements of the setting but don't ask me in what way. Oh, and it talks. Most -- not all, but most -- of the animals in Fallen London do.
- Any of the Masters of the Bazaar (most, possibly all, of them have Twitter accounts). They have somewhat different personalities, but share the common attributes of being self-styled businessmen who're hidden under cloaks all the time, probably because they're unlikely to be human. (Underneath the cloaks they have a humanoid-ish shape, but they look like they're either winged or hunchbacked. They have hands, at least.) They're also basically in charge of the government of Fallen London.

That's everyone I can actually describe. There are some more cool NPCs but I'm not as familiar with them.
