No, you listen.

This is Megan (Magda's player), proving how addictive this place is already by bringing you suave GQMF/world's smartest man Adrian Veidt from Watchmen.

This one is the movie version, which means less SMILING ALL THE TIME AUGH and more being sulky and pissy even as he pwns you. And daddy issues, considering it's behind-the-scenes moviecanon that his dad was a Nazi and that severely screwed Adrian up as a kid. Not that anybody who's simultaneously so narcissistic but self-loathing and is willing to let millions die if it means the remaining billions of people on earth stay alive is going to qualify as not screwed up even without having had an unpleasant Nazi father.

But anyway, here he is, prettier/smarter/generally better than you at everything, and also nearly 47 but looking barely 30 and quite aware of this. His loss is that he can't be photographed, which is going to be a major cramp in his whole relentless self-marketing schtick. I am open for all kinds of plot, and his ridiculous way of being an executive/superhero/antihero/antivillain/author/philanthropist/scientist/WHATEVER makes it so that pretty much whatever's needed to be done with him can be done.

(ps I consider him pretty much omnisexual even if he considers himself gay-but-with-more-important-things-to-think-about-than-sex. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, Adrian.)

He sounds like a delightful pain in the ass :)

[alexanderofny.livejournal.com]

If by delightful you mean HE WILL THROW YOU FROM A WINDOW AND TAKE OUT A FAKE HIT ON HIMSELF AND GIVE PEOPLE CANCER AND KILL MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO SAVE THE WORLD AND YOU WON'T EVEN CARE BECAUSE LOOK AT HOW IMPECCABLE HIS HAIR IS.

[purestnovice.livejournal.com]

You are amazing, I really need to read this -- I've only seen the movie but enjoyed it. I can't wait to see him IC!

[alexanderofny.livejournal.com]

In the graphic novel, Adrian is
a) kind of jolly-looking and beefy but with epic cheekbones,
b) very mild and polite even as he's doing his less likable tasks,
c) basically always either smiling or looking nobly concerned/preoccupied.

Oh, and he drops a giant squidmonster on New York instead of framing Jon.

[holydamnitxmas.livejournal.com]

I second this, you really do. It's fantastic. :D

... also, expect this dude to poke at 5. And 6. And 7.
