Since apps are open and we're all looking for ideas...

If you were to cast another player as a character who would it be and why?

Comments

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

ltcolkirk: Neo from the Matrix. I think you could pull this character off on both a serious and a cracky level. Just from the mix of the characters you have I just think he'd be a good fit.

sith_happened: Fox Mulder. I can see you writing the character with his dry and sardonic wit and taking him to some of the crazier depths he took in the show. I dunno. Just seems like a good fit to me.

stupid_toasters: Jason Nesmith/Captain Peter Quincy Taggart from Galaxy Quest. He'd come to Fandom for... I don't know. The grand re-opening of Turtle and Canary and then could never leave? You'd give the role the sense of humor it needs and the occasional touch of drama it deserves.

multiplez Gert Yorkes from Runaways. With Old Lace of course. You'd have her personality down pat and I can't think of anyone better who could pull her off at fandom.

laidanegg: Chewbacca. Sure... he's big and hairy and no one could understand him without a translator but you'd still be able to get his point across with ease. And I see him becoming drinking buddies with D'Argo.

fair_montague: Mary from "Party Girl" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114095/). A free spirited party girl who likes the raves but finds true meaning in the Dewey Decimal system and being a library clerk.

tricksy_spy: Nico from Runaways. I think you'd be able to not only write her character's strengths but also pay attention to some of her weaknesses as well.

canadianpopstar: Barry Ween, Boy Genius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Barry_Ween,_Boy_Genius). Just because I think you would have so much fun with the character.

veryarthurdent: Bigby Wolf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigby_Wolf) from Fables. For some reason I see him as more of an extreme version of Kawalsky. And fo course a wolf. *coughs*

willbedone: Trevor Hale/Cupid from the original Cupid TV show. Not the one that they are re-doing next season that fills me with fear. Jeremy Piven baby!

needsaparrot: Liandra/Lee from Peter David's "Fallen Angel". She's... Larger than life. I'd like to see what you'd do with her. Plus Fandom needs someone to float above the ground...

bridge_carson: Hank from Corner Gas. I'm not sure why. I think you have the ability to write his characters type of humoe and I can just see you in the role.

lilpunkinbelly: Dana Scully. Why? I think even in Fandom you could still write the character to be skeptical about everything.

the_merriest: Pixie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixie_(X-Men)) from the X-men. Because we so need someone who can ACTUALLY make a pixie dust that would cause people to hallucinate. ("Glitter? Who needs glitter?) And then make Logan go on a rampage and see unicorns again.

Either that or Master Thespian! ACTING!

sarcasm_guy: Dante from Clerks. You have a View-Askewness about you that would work well in the character. Either that or Mervyn Pumpkinhead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_of_The_Sandman#Mervyn_Pumpkinhead)

vkandis_son: Lucien (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_of_The_Sandman#Lucien) who is the chief librarian of the The Dreaming in the Sandman comics.

socksofcool Snape. Or Dr. Lazarus from Galaxy Quest. You'd give good Alan Rickman.

laceycantlie: Monk. Not just because you'd do the humor well but you'd treat his OCD with tender loving care.

armybrat_lois: She-Hulk. Just based on how you play your other characters, I think her personality would be a good match with your writing skills.

not_a_mused: Norville Barnes from The Hudsucker Proxy. Inventor of the Hula hoop and just plain whacky with a touch of heartbreak.

not_ironmaiden: Harley Quinn from Batman: The Animated Series. You give good crazy.

spring_lost: Dr. Strange. You know the version I'm talking about.

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, weird that I just watched that movie (for the billionth time) this weekend.

I love the one for Mulder though. Yes yes.

[needsaparrot]

....Whoa, a canon I do not know. *marks to look up*

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

I'll totally second armybrat_lois there. Because... yeah, I can definitely see that.

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Likewise, a canon I do not know. I should fix this!

ETA: Yesplz on the Hank Yarbo casting. :D :D :D

[carsexual]

I...haven't actually read a lot of Runaways. I keep meaning to!

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

DUDE! I have a journal for Lucien!

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

Another attempt to get me to read Fables. One of these days I might cave.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

imac_kenzie: Chuck Bartowski from Chuck. It's the geek thing. Sweet geeks who are sort of out of place but end up fitting in anyway. In their own special way, of course.

slapbetcommish: Liz Lemon from 30 Rock. You write the quirky, sort of crazy females very well. If you can write Lily and her insanity, you can totally write Liz and her neuroses.

futurebucs_star: Simon Tam from Firefly. I dunno why but I think it might be the fish out of water guy being made to fit in with an established group and not piss off anyone too badly that he's killed. You do that well.

on_her_korhal: Saul Tigh from BSG. WHAT. CRANKY CHARACTERS!

trickster_twin: Fiona from Burn Notice. You write the girls with guns REALLY well. And they both have snark, intentional or not.

psychic_wonder: Jake Foley from Jake 2.0. Tall nerdy boys! You get the nerdism down but it's not OVERWHELMING.

raspberryturk: Han Solo. I dunno, it's just that...scoundrel mentality Reno and Han both kinda have. It would work!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Ooo. Yes. I can see them doing all of them.

Especially raspberryturk and trickster_twin. I had a hard time thinking of something for them.

[solo_sword]

*raises hand* Can I put in a request for raspberryturk to write that app? Plz?

[likethegun]

Heee! I liked Jake 2.0 soooo much and I was so sad when it got canceled!

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

*hums innocently, like she doesn't have a Chuck journal... or two*

[solo_sword]

Okay, I am having a way hard time thinking of things, but.

laceycantlie- YOU KNOW WHO. I think you'd rule it.

laidanegg- I still wanna see you with Carrot Ironfoundersson from Discworld. And I can't explain why but if you've read the books you should totally be going "YES" right now.

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

ASDF;JAKLSD *FLAILS AT YOU*

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

I'm drawing a blank right now but I'm sure I'll come up with more later.

minnesota_teen - I think you'd make a great Jenny Humphrey from Gossip Girl. You do the whole innocent thing well.

ltcolkirk - I think you'd be able to pull off a Clark Kent well. Doesn't really matter which one. I think you do the whole emo-dork thing well.

canadianpopstar - For some reason I think you'd make a good Pepper Potts. You could do the calm, cool, collected thing with the touch of snark that she has.

[likethegun]

I SECOND THE CLARK KENT COMMENT. Yes indeed.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

*peers* It's like you've seen my spreadsheet of potentials.

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

*peers* Seriously, have you hacked into people's potential lists? I don't have a journal for her but I watched Iron Man for the third time on the plane and spent it going "You know, she's kind of like if you crossed Rory with Robin and made her quieter. Hrm."

[fh_jackass]

Looking for ideas? You mean there are people in this game who don't have at least five potential character journals ready to go at any given time?

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* I'm always looking for new characters.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Me. 'Cause I'm hopeless. :)

[sith_happened]

I'm sure I'll think of more as I go along, but for now:

multi_madrox: Toby Ziegler from West Wing. I think you'd rock at "why me?" brilliance that is Toby and be more than able to keep true to Sorkin's way of writing characters.

goodgirlmeg: Sark from Alias. You make the arrogant assholes so damn appealing.

laceycantlie: TAHIRI from Star Wars. Yes. Immediately. *nods*. I think you'd also be an excellent Jacen Solo.

trickster_twin: Dana from Sports Night. She's a snarky, sarcastic, brilliant female character. It's right in your sweet spot for writing :)

moonbrain_tam: Oooh. I'd love to see you take a crack at Illyria from Angel. You have a knack for getting inside characters' heads who aren't exactly linear thinkers.

laidanegg: Rat from Pearls Before Swine. It would be epic in its awesomeness.

willbedone: Dexter from Dexter. Because you rock at writing lurking creepy while staying so very normal on the surface.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

There was a point of time where I did consider apping Sark for a while. I love him. I'd come full circle in this game if I did play him. British jackass - California jackass - NYC jackass - back to British jackass :D

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

I know there's more but my head, she aches for all the thinking!

cantjossme - Andy Botwin from Weeds. Seven-toed stoner townie.

ecirpnellehada - Jack McPhee from Dawson's Creek. Something about an emo gay football player in Fandom makes me glee. I think you'd handle it really well for some reason.

psychic_wonder - Dawson Leery. You know you want to.

wannabe_pan - Shirlee Kenyon from Straight Talk! Big boobs and good intentions.

thankgoditsme - Three words: Ted Vivian Mosby!

walks_two_paths - Bella Swan from Twilight. She's emo! And loves sparkly vampires bad boys!

lovelylana - Peyton Sawyer from One Tree Hill. Come on, goth cheerleader and indy music lover? *offers canon*

sarcasm_guy - Crazy old school Jack O'Neill. DO IT NOW.

sixstandingby - Michael Weston of Burn Notice. Because I said so.

goodgirlmeg - Doug Wilson of Weeds. Stoner accountant who makes me laaaaaugh!

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

I could do Peyton... *considers*

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

trickster_twin: Ellen Ripley, as either an adult or a student, because she kicks serious ass and you're not afraid to take aggressive characters to dark places.

ecirpnellehada: Stephanie Plum. Worst luck and the most fun you can have while almost getting killed. Possibly responsible for the hole in the ozone layer. The humor and quirk seems like it would be up your alley.

laidanegg: Taylor Doose, from Gilmore Girls. I've seen you do it before for guest shots, and he just rocked. Plus I think he'd be a great townie.

psychic_wonder: Tristan, from Gilmore Girls. Because then you could look at his icons ALL THE TIME. *cough* Or possibly Boromir from LotR, because you seem to like the doomed guys who make noble choices in the end.

morpherboy: Eowyn, from LotR. She doesn't have a talking cat, but man, you're good at medieval-esque warrior women.

rocksthescarf" Donna Moss, from The West Wing. Mouthy, sarcastic blonde with a sly sense of fun. Less innocent but more clueless than Meg.

I'm sure I'll think of more eventually.

[likethegun]

I am ignoring the first part of that to focus on Boromir. *squishes him lots and lots*

...Wait, are you saying you think Sam is going to get arrowed in the future? *sniffles*
