Hi everyone!

Quick heads-up: there will be a newcomer in the bar this evening in the form of War (

beautiful_bullets)... the Good Omens version.

She is, quite literally, the human(ish) embodiment of War, violence and battle, and as such I thought I'd better clear up a few things before posting her in.

1. War, simply by dint of existing, can and quite possibly will make your pups feel more aggressive and more angry. In canon, she has been the source of several full-scale civil wars, simply by having a drink at a bar.

HOWEVER:

2. Her boss (the one who TALKS LIKE THIS) has had a word, and required that she not be responsible for full-scale blood-letting in the bar. She isn't best pleased about this, but will be obeying... more or less.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MY PUP?

3. Quite possibly, nothing! Given her ability to make a royal mess of your character's day, War will never tag out - unless you ask me to do so, so please feel free to drop me a line and ask!

4. If you do decide to thread with her, War will naturally make your character feel more aggressive, more angry, and generally more inclined to violence. However, characters with reasonable self-control should be more or less able to resist her - particularly if they have personal experience of the reality of war. Conversely, those inclined to look upon war and combat as glamorous, or those with little experience of real violence, are much more susceptible to her wiles.

HOWEVER...

5. In line (...more or less) with her BOSS's wishes, War will put nothing in your character's head that isn't already there. If there is nothing, nothing at all, that your character is angry about, no fear, no greed... there's nothing she'll be able to do. (At least, not without catching the Big Guy's attention, and she'd rather not do that at present.)

CAN MY PUP TELL SHE'S NOT HUMAN?

6. If they're baseline human... probably not. She's a beautiful, unusually alluring woman, and to most humans that's the end of it. However, traditionally 'sensitive' animals like dogs and cats will fear and mistrust her; vultures, coyotes and other carrion-feeders love her; and machines will always pick up on her presence even at times when humans won't. If your character isn't human, on the other hand - especially if they're another incarnate or god/goddess - by all means have them pick up on what she is. She won't have any shame about it.

Interestinnnnnng >_>

Can't wait to see what you do with her and what unfolds!

Mwahahahahahahahaha. Me too! I've been wondering about playing her in the bar for years, off and on.

I'm curious as to what will happen to a semi-pacifist and victim of violence like Emcee, which is why I did the shifty eye thing there. Because he's supposed to be working up toward a violent confrontation (with the help of others) but emotionally he keeps going back and forth on it. Revenge is mostly only a theory.

I probably won't tag in at the moment but will be keeping an eye out for later!

:D

If you're not sure how a thread would go, but would like someone to give him a little bit of a nudge, rather than a kick, in the right direction... War is totally available for lurking amusedly in the background of one of his posts.

Oooh. Super-aggressive Baze would end up shooting things, so I'm going to wait until Chirrut-mun is back to tag her. Chirrut will be able to recognize Baze on the warpath (so sorry) and... well, they might end up fighting each other, which would probably be hilarious.

:D

War will be only too happy to see some proper fighting in the bar. Looking forward to those threads!

Yay! Feel free to tag into our EPs.as well!

:D Thanks very much! [takes notes]

Thematically, rumor and war often go together, as wars often involve rumors of political tensions, false information, spies, war propaganda, etc. Would it be fair to say that Rumor might recognize her as War, though not necessarily War from her world?

Absolutely! Beings like Rumour are totally the kind of people who would spot War for what she is, so go for your life. :D

omg

so in canon harry has lines about embracing the (metaphorical) fire-eyed maid of smoky war so

i will definitely be sending him and he will definitely love her

Feuilly: Oh for crying out loud.

omgggggggYES (assume I will totally be Shakespeare-nerding in the background at all times)

War: [bats lashes]

:D :D :D

Harry: *____*

Oh dear, I have a pup who has been restraining a passive-aggressive hatred for divine beings.

But, she is a tiny thing. How much damage could she do? :P

:D :D :D

I am definitely gonna toss people her way sooner or later. For the record, none of mine are off-limits! Though if she and Doctor Dinosaur meet I'm gonna have to call for Security even earlier than I usually do with him...

SWEET.

Thank you! I am keeping her away from Security as far as possible, because honestly they'd have a hell of a time dealing with her... but it's totally not her fault if OTHER people fight, right? Right?

((I don't know if I can send anyone over right now, but heee, excellent. Feel free to send her to any of my charcaters' threads any time, if you wanna! Some of them have more for her to work on than others...))

Mwahahahaha.

Thank you very much! I am taking notes as to where she's allowed, and where she isn't, so that's awesome.

Please send her to any of mine and I think she and Demeter could be exciting.

Mwahahahahaha. So noted. :D

X, Ysalwen, Wonder Woman, Raven, and Flemeth are a-ok to tag! Not sure about the rest, I will keep you posted!

AWESOME. Thanks!
