A boot to the head is how you say hello

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!

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! :)

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.
