A boot to the head is how you say hello

[givetheslip]

Hello Paradisa! I'm Jaina, and I'm not entirely new to the game—a couple of years ago I was here with Roxas from Kingdom Hearts. This time around, I've brought Maria Thorpe Thorpe from Assassin's Creed. She's English and spent the last eight years as a soldier in the Third Crusade (think Robin Hood-era) after temporarily pretending to be a man in order to join up. She was also the steward to the grandmaster of the Knights Templar (think The Bad Guys, at least in the AssCreeds), but a few weeks prior to her canon point she ditched them in a real "You can't fire me, I QUIT!" way.

Other notable Maria facts include: she's from the year 1191, so she's way behind on the technology front and I look forward to culture shock hilarity; she's very good at escaping kidnappers/jailers/etc., but kind of bad at avoiding getting captured in the first place; and she has the guts to kick philosophy-spouting master assassins in the face.



Like this!

For those more familiar with the AC series, Maria is specifically from a little bit after the end of Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, so she knows more about the Assassins in general and is road-tripping with one as her travel buddy, but conceiving children on towers is a long way off.

If you'd like to add me on plurk, please feel free to mosey on over to effervescible, but I'm happy to plot and chatter over PMs/AIM/whatever else works. I'm glad to be here!

nope

[givetheslip]

Stop being creepy, Shuri.

[forsometimenow]

NEVER

[givetheslip]

do I even want to know what's going on in that icon

[forsometimenow]

I've been meaning to put Jennifer on a temporary loss where she becomes a Wraith (an energy-sucking alien from her canon). It just so happens that Jewel Staite played a Wraith in an earlier episode, before she was cast as Jennifer, so I made a bunch of icons of her for the temp loss and haven't gotten around to doing it yet. :'D

[givetheslip]

Hahahahaha that's beautiful :'D

[unmanned]

Hello new bff B)

[givetheslip]

Hello to you new bff B)

I am legitimately debating whether or not to have her intro wearing her cloak with the Templar cross on it (look, she only has one cloak to wear on her road trip, she's not made of money) because it would be hilarious but could potentially delay this beautiful friendship.

[unmanned]

Hidden blades to the throat do not make good hellos :'( and then the sadness that there aren't any targets in this damn castle! I don't know which is worse.

[givetheslip]

Would Kidd feel better if Maria put on the cloak and let her chase her around the place for a while :c Like as occasional recreation

[unmanned]

Tag... :')

[givetheslip]

It's canon that Maria's into that anyway. But James has to promise not to get her pregnant.

[unmanned]

No promises ;)

[molotov]

the real question is do we invite maria to watch romcoms with us

[givetheslip]

oh please do this

I'm imagining the running commentary and it's beautiful in my mind

[molotov]

don't get stabbed and we'll see

[givetheslip]

She's pretty good at that! Mostly.

[unmanned]

yes if mol doesn't mind explaining everything

[molotov]

one day we'll get a whole pirate cast and molotov will have a living room of greasy pirates watching When Harry Met Sally in confusion

[ensorceler]

WELL HI THERE.

I mean.

Well yeah, hi. I am Jesse, and we met over at Exsilium, but now I can be the one to welcome you! I've been at Para a long time so if you have any questions or just want to plot, feel free to poke me on Plurk, I'm cherto.

I play Anne Boleyn here as well, although she IS actually from her Queen timepoint now (just after her execution actually), and I play a derp troublemaker godmod named Joshua Christopher (ofhope) from Chrono Crusade.

Excited to get CR with you again!

[givetheslip]

I remember you too! I'm glad to see you and Anne here too, I liked her. Bummer about the execution though. With Giovanni here now too that seems to be going around.

[ensorceler]

It's the latest fad for the cool kids, clearly.

[givetheslip]

Clearly, yes.

[onlyanapple]

HI there, I'm TF, and I remember seeing you around Exsilum!

I play Crowley from Good Omens and Ben from TWDG. Welcome to Para!

[givetheslip]

This seems to be a good reunion place for ex-Ex. Glad to see you! I'm only slightly familiar with that game but I know Crowley.

[gottaknockhard]

I'm so excited to see the AC cast growing, this is good stuff.

I'm Sheep, if we didn't meet before. I just play Spike here (still! he's been around a darn long time.) Welcome back! :)

[givetheslip]

Me too! They're fun in groups.

You know, I honestly don't recall, it's been over two years now. But hello, possibly again! It's awesome to have Spike here. I love Bebop.

[inafadingcrown]

Okay, this time I'm getting CR with you for real. This is not an option.

AKA hi, it's Beth with her dumb elf Lady again and also a teenage wizard.

[givetheslip]

/returns from weeklong tag-killing work trip

Oh hell yes it better not be an option. Let's walk around with fabulous hair, Lady.

[inafadingcrown]

Fabulous hair club, yes.
