+1 Character (and a New Player)

[theyseekhimhere]

Hello all! I'm Katie and I'm new here at Paradisa. This is only my second really serious rp and the first one where I play an established character. Please be gentle with me.

Anyway enough about me. I'm bringing you one idiotic fop, a man concerned only with fashion and his wife. If you see some glimmer of intelligence in his eyes, well it's probably a trick of the light.

A mysterious man calling himself the Scarlet Pimpernel may be lurking around Paradisa here soon, possibly wearing several disguises.

I bring you Sir Percival Blakeney; Baronet from the 1982 version of the Scarlet Pimpernel. But please just call him Percy.

If you have any questions or advise don't hesitate to contact me!

Hopefully I will have my first post up soon.

Hello there and welcome to the game! I'm TF and I play these losers here.

[theyseekhimhere]

Nice to meet you!

I see you play Crowley and a bunch of other characters from stuff I'm interested in but haven't seen/watched yet. I'm really excited to be here!

[onlyanapple]

Why yes, yes I do! Always nice to see another Good Omens fan.

[forsometimenow]

Ahaha, he sounds like a lot of fun.

Welcome to the game! I'm Shurimon and I play Simon Tam (Firefly), Jennifer Keller (Stargate Atlantis) and Richard Castle (Castle). I hope you enjoy yourself here!

[theyseekhimhere]

I'm hoping he will be.

Nice to meet you! I'm a little nervous but very excited to be interacting with a lot of the characters here.

Welcome Katie. I'm Rebecca and I play Felix Harrowgate (Doctrine of Labyrinths), Gren (Cowboy Bebop), and Muraki (Yami no Matsuei/Descendants of Darkness).

I only remember reading the Scarlet Pimpernel in school but that was foreverrrrrrr ago, so I'm vaguely aware of what to expect, but I think it will be fun to watch.

Nice to meet you!

I'm hoping that I can play Percy as well as I want to. If everything works out than it should be interesting.

[deductiongeek]

Oh, this could be interesting!

Welcome! I play Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan), Will Stanton (Dark is Rising Sequence), Danny Fenton (Danny Phantom), and North (Rise of the Guardians).

Nice to meet you!

I'm looking forward to interacting with your characters!

XD, I'm Lel, by the way. Just realized I forgot to introduce myself.

And yes! I love seeing more literary characters around!

[theyseekhimhere]

That's ok!

[ichy]

Is he a dedicated follower of fashion? ^_-

Welcome, Katie! I'm ar, and I play Icheb from Star Trek: Voyager (this account!) and Gideon Thraxios from the Doctrine of Labyrinths books (who is thraxios!). I hope you have a lovely time here. ♥

[theyseekhimhere]

I'm thinking he is. That has to be a reference to the Scarlet Pimpernel!

Nice to meet you! I think I need to check out the Doctrine of Labyrinths books. They look interesting.

[thraxios]

I think so, too. XD I never actually put it together until I saw your username, but a foppish fashionable man running around 1960s London sounds like a pretty great AU.

I WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU they are filed under "trashy fun" in my library. >> The author is a fascinating woman (and a wonderful live speaker--very knowledgeable, very personable), but she started the books when she was 19. And it shows, especially in the form of all the slash fodder and rape and melodrama and terrible plotting. They aren't bad by any means, but they're not High Literature (or even Medium High Literature). Which means that I always have to give a somewhat checkered recommendation, lol, because I am a little embarrassed of them even as I enjoy them. Definitely read them if the summaries grab you! But don't expect anything near to Orczy, I guess is what I'm saying.

(Also, I'm really sorry that I have so many feelings about them, omg. Sarah Monette's work is a constant topic of conversation in my household--mostly due to my roommate, who plays another character from the books here--so it's tl;dr ahoy whenever she comes up, lol.)

[theyseekhimhere]

Don't worry about it. My friends and I have have topics like that. So I don't really mind.

I have some books/movies like that. They are kind of entertaining but by no means good literature.

[kungfuwitch]

Welcome!! My name's Laurel and I play Phoebe Halliwell (Charmed), Nora Diniro(Pump up the Volume), Sunny Baudelaire(A Series of Unfortunate Events) and James Bond.

I'm still debating who to throw at your lovely post hehe.

[theyseekhimhere]

Nice to meet you!

Feel free to throw anyone my way. I'm having a good time so far with all these different characters.
