Character picking

[guiltapalooza]

Hey guys! If you found this post then you know what's going on!

Comment with the characters you're thinking of bringing in, along with what role they would be, and other people comment with who they'd like to see out of them. This is also a great time to propose Warden/Inmate pair ups, though you don't need to do that now-- there will be an official pair up post later, and after that a permanent "personals page" where you can see who else is looking.

GO WILD. ASK QUESTIONS. PLOT. Official sign ups later.

Running on the assumption that inmates are not necessarily villains, just people that are restless dead and can't find peace without some kind of redemption.

Definite:
Willow Rosenberg (Inmate OR Warden)

Easy Mode:
Rupert Giles (Warden)
Bruce Banner (Inmate OR Warden)
Minato Arisato (Warden)
Aziraphale (Warden)
Brian Moser (Inmate)

Hard Mode:
Sam Tyler (Warden)
Sherlock Holmes (god only knows)


SOOO anyone interested in any of the above?

[ruineaxt]

you know that i want you


and you know that I need you

[guiltapalooza]

excuse you I believe our Gaga song of choice should be poker face

[preussisch_blau]

The question is... which Sherlock Holmes? There are only about eighty bajillion interpretations... : |a this is important you know

[guiltapalooza]

Oh, BBC. XD I really should've specified that, huh?

I haven't even made a journal yet for him, but I have this suspicion that I could pull him off, so I'm curious. haha

[vehemens]

Aziraphale and Toby and Juan and Giles.

let's do this thing.

[storesbooks]

For the sake of not putting all my CR in one basket, maybe just Az and Toby? :|a

[shaymin]

giles and england british warden buddies? y/n ♥

still not sure if i'm doing au england or not. but it will be decided today or tomorrow.

[storesbooks]

YES FOR SURE. AND AZIRAPHALE IS INSUFFERABLY ENGLISH TOO. Whichever England you go with, I'm sure they'll get along!

[shaymin]

Oh boy!

Definite: Fionna the Human (Warden)

Possibly:
England (could be either)
Dirk Strider (could be either)

Would love to play PrUK warden/inmate pair for England, but Fionna's up for anything! She loves adventure and will kick your inmate butt in gear! I don't know how I'd do with Dirk but if you don't mind floundering with me, you can have him.

[ruineaxt]

Hello my name is susan and I only play one character sob

Definite: Shinjiro Aragaki [Persona 3] (...Most likely an inmate, dude would be the shittiest warden.)


But here's some characters I... have journals for and could be convinced into? But have never actively played before.

Clive [Suikoden II] (Either Inmate or Warden)
Theon Greyjoy [A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones (Book: Mid-Dance with Dragons.)] (ohgodinmate)
Hubert Oswell [Tales of Graces] (SUPER ANAL WARDEN OBVS.)
H/Allelujah Haptism [Gundam 00 Season 1] (......you know I. Don't. know. :|a probs inmate.)

[garantundkraft]

Definite:
Prussia (most likely an Inmate. he'd be the worst Warden.)

Maybe:
Liechtenstein (conversely, most likely a Warden)
Rudolf von Liebknecht (haha like anyone knows who he is Either)
Nicholas Angel (WARDEN.)

Tentative:
Meenah Peixes (Finmate.)

[shaymin]

finmate

[vehemens]

ahaha my comment is long and involved sorry...

Offering:

• Juan Borgia from Showtime's The Borgias

↳ Juan is arrogant, cowardly, hopelessly incompetent, hedonistic and has a talent for fucking up everything within reach of his arm. Which would be okay and mostly harmless, if he wasn't the Gonfalonier of his father, Pope Alexander VI's, Papal army. Juan's death eventually comes at his brother's hands, because Juan makes bad life decisions and this forces his family's hand in dealing with their Juan Problem.

I could see Juan benefiting from a warden who was, essentially, a babysitter devoted to doling out the tough love frequently and in healthy dosages. Juan is childish and capable of aggravating most sane people, but he'd be more or less harmless in a setting like SUS.

• Tobias "Toby" Matthews from Big Finish Productions's The Confessions of Dorian Gray.

↳ A vampire of unknown age and origin, and the immortal homosexual life partner of one Dorian Gray. At the point of his assisted suicide, Toby's had lost the ability to see the world (and life itself) as anything but a decaying mess of death and crumbling mountains and stuff. He's charming, highly manipulative, miserable, and it's implied that he has, in his own words, "developed a taste" for killing.

After hundreds of years Toby's very set in his ways, but a warden with a lot of patience and the ability to encourage him to recognize the inherent worth in a life without death might be able to make a dent in him. Might.

Less obscure:

• Arthur Pendragon (Merlin) [Warden]
• Mr. Bad Life Decisions himself, Dorian Gray (Picture of Dorian Gray/Confessions of Dorian Gray amalgamation) [Inmate. Dear god, only an inmate.]
• John Watson (Sherlock) [Warden]
• Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel the Series) [Warden]

Some of the people in this list will require a little canon reviewing, but I'm excited to give any of them a try. *_*

[shaymin]

eeee Watson and Arthur~ /chinhands

[vehemens]

OH belated but also

Offering:

Mordred (Merlin) [Inmate] ... or a [Warden], if I take him from earlier in his arc.

[sosweet]

ALL YOUR MUSES

ALL OF THEM 8D

[sosweet]

Definitely offering: Gemini Saga from the classic Saint Seiya series. He'll fit in the Warden position given his innate leadership.

Possibly maybe: Kara from BBC Merlin. An inmate, since she needs some kind of guidance when it comes to trust and selflessness despite her strong sense of justice.

[adamantly]

Casually gives Kara Arthur as her warden just to make everyone's lives extremely painful.

jk jk

But actually come to think, if this idea interests you, if Kara still needs a warden at some point early season five Mordred might be able to act as hers? It could be helpful in dealing with her trust issues if she has someone she trusts as much as she does Mordred assisting her through the process. Just a thought. o:

[clinical]

Probable

Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss [WARDEN]

I've kind of wanted to do this kind of story with him for a while so. Jade is essentially a monster who seriously lacks empathy, lacks any kind of internal sense of right and wrong, and is a huge jerk. Dissected animals as a kid and humans as an adult. Jade has learned How To Morals by swinging hard towards the Lawful side of the alignment grid and relying on the judgements of more morally-capable friends.

As a Warden, then, I'd be interested in putting him with someone like him: people who, for whatever reason, are not capable of the kind of compassion and empathy and all the rest that society usually demands out of people in an effort to make them ~*~moral~*~

Not as Probable

Dorian Gray from The Confessions of Dorian Gray [INMATE?]

Yeah super iffy on this one for a ton of reasons. Partly because the canonpoint I'm used to for him has him already turning towards redemption (whether or not it will stick).

[caries]

If Toby wasn't already (probably) going with Az, I'd suggest him as Jade's inmate because 1. oh god, 2. he more or less fits his inmate criteria, 3. they have casual disregard for other people's rights to not be cut up and/or dismembered in common, 4. and also oh god.

... /grabhands at your CR regardless, though!!

[sosweet]

AH... IT IS YOU :| LONG TIME NO SEE OLD DUDE

[valianced]

Eee this could be so much fun. I'm not sure I know too many of you folks, but yes. :) I'm Sey, here are my offerings:


Definite:
Lucy Pevensie - Narnia - (Warden or Inmate)

Possible Characters:
Wash - Firefly - (Inmate)
Remus Lupin - HP - (Inmate or Warden)
The Fifth Doctor - Doctor Who - (Inmate or Warden)

[storesbooks]

I think we need Lucy and Willow. The amount of cute would be inhandle-able. And Willow could be either Warden or inmate. What do you think? :3

[aviatorofscience]

Hi everyone! Not quite sure how this showed up on my feed, but it did and the premise sounds great!

My offerings:

Otonashi Yuzuru [Angel Beats] (Warden)
GLaDOS [Portal series] (Inmate OR Warden)
