meme: 7 random facts!
Continuing the trend, woo! So, we haven't done this meme in a year, wherein you just list 7 random facts about your character. Simple enough, right? We've gotten plenty of new characters since then, and if you couldn't come up with something a year ago, now you might have to cheat and add more details because 7 just isn't enough.
...Not that anyone does that. Especially not me.

2. Is a total lighweight, and anything more than three drinks is just mean to give her.
3. Has decent fashion sense when she bothers to care. (Thank you, canon!)
4. Had completely ignored her hobby of playing with mechanics for a year a half. She's gotten back into it recently.
5. Does occasionally paint her toenails. It's her one girly thing.
6. Thinks Earth technology is pretty lame, but has amazing love for her iPhone.
7. Sleeps on her back when she's alone, and can fall asleep pretty much immediately most days. Pilot habit.
no subject
8. Has a total thing for Chinese food.
9. Is not picky about her food at all, though. If it's not rations, she'll take it. If it's rations and there's nothing else, she'll take that too.
10. Can actually fathom that she has a future beyond the war now, she just believes her life's going to suck.
11. Figures the wedding from SOW last year is the only wedding she's going to have. The fact that it involved an escape on horseback actually is comforting, because it was kind of awesome.
12. Learned to do some bar tricks while working at Caritas. Nothing dirty, sorry, Chuck.
13. Picked up the use of 'astral' from Ben.
14. Will never not be proud that she knocked Kyle kriffing Katarn down.
no subject
2. Jim hasn't talked to anyone from Dunder Mifflin since he left. He does get at least seven Facebook requests from Michael Scott per day, but he ignores them.
3. "Future Dwight" has communicated with Dwight from Dunder Mifflin, though. He sends Dwight warnings of the future on Dwight's stationary via fax. On an unrelated note, Jim stole a box of Dwight's stationary before he left Scranton.
4. He won't admit it, but he still thinks about the night Pam rejected him. Twice. Inside of 10 minutes. That kind of thing takes some time to get over.
5. Jim has gotten pretty good at Farkle on Facebook because Farmville is starting to bore him. His all time high score is 10,050, recorded last Saturday.
6. Jim is thinking about getting a new haircut. He won't do it.
7. He's really friendly with the camera guy, but he will never tell anyone in Fandom anything about him. Officially this is due to a contract. Personally, Jim just likes pretending he doesn't know anything.
no subject
2. Her mom died when she was little.
3. Is a decent cook, and has fun trying to figure out the new foods here.
4. Really is a little scared of turning into an animal when the time comes (and it will) but is insanely curious about what she'd be.
5. Didn't mind the old gym uniforms. Gee, thanks, Turtle.
6. TV here fascinates her. She keeps ending up in front of primetime soaps, which is probably a bad idea.
7. Still hasn't told her dad what this place is like. And guess what, she's not planning to.
no subject
2. Hurley hates change. And not in the coinage sense. And extremely and irrationally.
3. Like every JJ Abrams character ever, he has daddy issues.
4. He loves ranch dressing. A lot.
5. Uses 'dude' like a comma.
6. Is a master of ping-pong.
7. Would totally rewrite 'Empire Strikes Back' if he had the chance.
no subject
2. Has an island in Dubai that she visits sometimes. Just to lie on the beach.
3. Has a Portalocity standing account for emergencies, should this place ever get too much for her to handle (or should she need another alibi).
4. Really did like teaching more than she expected, but pretending to be a teacher in Fandom is a lot like acting, so she's considering doing it again.
5. Thinks Steve needs a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. Anyway, someone to appreciate how wonderful he is.
6. Occasionally plots Geoffrey's ex-girlfriend's framing for tax fraud.
7. Plans on never, ever telling Geoffrey her real name. Because once that last mystery is gone, she'll be far too vulnerable to him, and that won't do.
no subject
2. She relies on Pounce more than she should. She panics when he's not there and the only reason she was able to get through her first weeks at Fandom was because he was with her.
3. She's shy and hates it.
4. She can forget her shyness when it comes to being a Dog. When she downs that uniform, it's who she is and a Dog isn't shy.
5. She misses the Lower City more than she misses her family. She hates it and she loves them to pieces, but they need her less.
6. She doesn't mind Emma's dress choices as much as she'll have her believe. It makes her feel pretty and girly. She doesn't think there's too much harm being girly while she's stuck here anyway.
7. She'll actually miss Emma when she leaves. She likes having a 'big sister'.
8. She'll miss quite a few people actually. Kennedy, Jonas, Jonothon. She likes talking to them.
9. The one thing she likes about Fandom are the pigeons. They aren't burdened with voices of the dead and she's grateful she doesn't have to hear their stories.
10. Yes. She does have a huge crush on Rosto. No, she knows she can't take it anywhere.
11. George Cooper is too much trouble, but she likes him even before she knew who he was. It complicates things, but it doesn't change it.
12. She does want to get him off the path he's going. He's a Cooper, he can do more than be a Rat. (Being a Rogue isn't being more.)
... I'll stop now.

2. Blue is the best tasting kind of M&M and you will never convince him otherwise.
3. He doesn't let anybody eat in his car.
4. Has accepted the fact he's never going to be one of those guys with a six pack and he's okay with that.
5. Marshall cries when people yell at him.
6. Is remarkably stealthy for a guy his size.
7. Gay men love Marshall.

no subject
1. Cannot spell worth a damn. Tends to add an extra 'h' to the word 'weather'. Your guess where she puts it.
2. She's always wanted to get in a big bar fight like you seen in Westerns.
3. Bad 80's movies and music are her favorite thing. Like, she totally owns Weekend at Bernie's on dvd.
So do I4. Is insanely flexible. It comes in handy.
5. Lois is convinced that she smells bad to gremlins and that's why they never bite her.
6. Might be the worst driver known to man. But everything she's ever hit has survived.
7. Apparently has a "famous" rum cake but I'm guessing it's only famous for being a lopsided mess.
no subject
2) Hates the way mutants are discriminated against, but is secretly glad he can "pass" as human. Feels incredibly guilty about this whenever he lets himself think about it too much.
3) Still hasn't told his parents he's not in New York anymore.
4) Doesn't really want to be an accountant, but knows he can't make a career out of superheroing (and there's days where he doesn't really like the superhero thing much anyway)
5) Is Jewish on his mother's side.
...and I'm being kicked off the computer. Sigh, public access :( Will post the last two when I am home. Which will be late.
no subject
7) Pretends to be happy when he's unhappy. Then gets incredibly bitter when people can't tell the difference.
8) Hangs out in freezers.
9) Would do anything short of killing someone to protect his friends. Eventually loses that last little inhibition, at least insofar as being willing to go that far.
no subject
1. Damon would do anything to protect his little brother--if only because if anybody is going to kill Stefan, it's gonna be him.
2. Has a fantastic ability to listen to Taylor Swift. It totes brings in the ladies.
3. He has always been extremely vain, even when he was alive.
4. Ditched the Confederacy because he got bored with the whole war thing.
5. Dancing is one of his favorite things to do.
6. He hates this whole
TwilightDusk thing. He liked Anne Rice's version of vampires better.7. Has a nasty habit of making stupid deals with people in order to save the lives of people he loves. Gawd, if he watched Supernatural he would know that shit never ends well.
no subject
1. Chuck's afraid of learning to have to drive. Canon is not helping him any with this fear. He does regret that he's never had sex in the back of a car (a limo, yes, but never a car).
2. Even he thinks losing his virginity at 11 was too young.
3. Was kicked out of an Amsterdam whorehouse when he was there with the son of an Italian ambassador and that's canon, yep.
4. He is an extremely picky eater. Save for when he's high.
5. His favorite era is the 1920's. He loves all that speakeasy gangster stuff.
6. May have an overwhelming preference for brunettes.
7. He doesn't mind getting hugged. He just thinks he's bad at it. And he prefers to be the little spoon when sleeping with someone else.
no subject
2. His mother died before he opened his eyes for the first time and he's always blamed himself for her death, even if death in childbirth was a common occurance in his time.
3. Doesn't really know how to act in Fandom most of the time because it's so unlike what he knows, so he does the Arthur thing and fakes it the way he thinks it should be faked. He's inevitably proven wrong every single time. This doesn't do much for his peace of mind.
4. Loves Camelot more than anything or anyone else, and probably loves Merlin the more because he loves Camelot, too, or at least the people. Shhh.
5. He misses his knights the most out of anything in Camelot. The men he's met in Fandom make a poor substitute, as much as he cares about some of them, but he's clinging to the lifeline.
6. Frets a lot about whether he looks right, acts right, is as awesome as he possibly be, and inevitably comes up wanting and the twitchier for it.
7. Likes French science fiction books kind of a lot. He can endure television at this point, but literature is familiar, and reading about people from centuries ago philosophising about the future helps him find a footing in this time. Nevermind that the stories can be terribly exciting.
8. - new episode bonus - Will one day actually utter the words 'Merlin, how do I express my feelings?' Out loud. He's just that bad.
9. - new episode bonus - The biggest tell that Arthur's not in his right mind? 'I don't care about what my father thinks'. DADDY ISSUES.
no subject
2. Never really had food that tasted one way or the other in Battle School; his tastes in food in Fandom hence pretty much cover everything. He doesn't fuss.
3. Doesn't put much stock in romantic stuff. He might have a crush on someone, but that doesn't define who he is, and the radio's efforts to make it out to be that just cause him to sigh. He doesn't think he deserves that kind of happiness, anyway.
4. Doesn't spend a single day without thinking about the Formics.
5. Can go for months without wasting a single thought on his parents.
6. Misses Valentine more than you could imagine, and at the same time is relieved to go without her presence. He wouldn't be able to explain it to you if he tried.
7. He considers Fandom a form of suspended animation - but he could spend the rest of his life in Ben's universe, if it meant giving the Formics another chance. Hell, he's met people like Leia, he knows it's a possibility.
no subject
2. Is considering paying someone to go buy coffee for her from the Perk. Is pretty sure she could either bribe or scare Mitchell into doing it.
3. Sometimes it annoys her that Leto can tell when she's lying, but mostly it's comforting to know she can't bullshit absolutely everyone.
4. Is completely fine with the physical transformations – as long as they go away relatively quickly – but doesn't like the idea of Fandom messing with her mind. At. All.
5. Thinks her mom's alter Alice talks just a little more sense than she'd care to admit.
6. Named the pothos she bought for her room. It's called Patrick. She's still trying to come up with a name for the little cactus she got from Leto for her birthday.
7. If he was bored in Kansas and called her, Kate probably would go rescue Gavin. People with
James McAvoy'sLeto's face are special, she can't help it.no subject
2. Wonders now, though, every time there's some crazy random detail thrown in like having to facepalm as Merlin's giving her away because he's wearing her missing earrings as cufflinks, if this is one of those ...things.
3. Also wonders deep, deep down (but not all the way) if she and Katchoo are just playing House now. It feels like there's something she's failing at.
4. Will forgive almost anything, yes, and some of that is lack of self-esteem, but it's also because she'll do anything not to lose people.
5. Ran over a cat the first time she tried backing the car out of the driveway. Cried. Still does, occasionally, if she's reminded of it.
6. Knows how Arthur dies. Tries to pretend she doesn't.
7. All the way down, really, really believes everything will work out for everyone. If she tries hard enough.
no subject
2. Totally did have a part in
meta forCasablanca way back when. HE KNOCKED OVER A CHAIR.3. Died in the First World War. He remembers every war the British government was involved in since, barring the second Gulf one.
4. Is only able to stay on the wagon at all because he knows he's got someone who'd judge him for acting otherwise. He doesn't love George in that romantic kind of way, but George is his and then what and he's not going to mess that up.
5. Really does need people just to be his friends, to be his siblings, because that's the closest he ever gets to feeling human.
6. Smoking is a poor substitute for blood, but he's made himself like it.
7. Really does miss Bristol. Just the texture of the walls, the smell of things, you know?
7b. Hasn't really felt properly Irish in decades.
no subject
2. Is 23, married, and a special operations CRO with the 353rd SOG stationed at Kadena AB, Japan and really is perfectly suited for his duties (I may have done too much research there)
3. Thinks there's no better music than a little Johnny Cash
4. Has absolutely no taste in beer and will drink whatever he's served, no matter how cheap
5. Can't stand sitting and waiting for stuff to happen or for approval to make stuff happen
6. Kind of wishes he could still turn into a bunny to avoid certain conversations but is thankful he doesn't because the explanations later wouldn't be worth it
7. Is starting to understand that life just isn't meant to work out for him
no subject
2. If given the choice, he would choose clothes a little less long and billowy. But when you have Mister Long White Billowy Cloak for a master, you get stuck with his fashion choices.
3. Doesn't even have an inkling that his Masters are anything but what they say they are.
4. Loves swoop bikes to a nearly unhealthy degree. He probably shouldn't be trusted to drive or pilot anything else, but on a swoop? Oh, he's good.
5. Basically cannot die. He's not invincible or anything. The Force just will not allow it. Weird flukes of luck and circumstance will always go his way when his life depends on it. It's the exact opposite when his life doesn't depend on it, though.
6. Doesn't feel bad about being the lowest ranking Jedi on the island (even though there are two Knights who are younger than him). He's kinda used to it.
7. Just wants to help people.
no subject
2. Doesn't swear entirely because she's a lady and she thinks that if she wants to be treated like one, she has to act like it.
3. Isn't religious, per se, but has a very, very strong Christian-based faith.
4. Cannot carry a tune at all, but she can dance and has a great sense of rhythm.
5. Knows she'll probably never have a husband and kids, but really wants 'em anyway.
6. Finds vampires kind of insanely sexy, for a number of reasons. She hasn't really admitted it yet.
7. Thinks 'fangbanger' is about on par with the C word in terms of filthiness.
no subject
2. Was afraid of babies until she had one.
3. Privately has an obsession with the Kardashian family, whom she simultaneously hates and finds addictive. She spends a lot of time yelling at the TV about how none of them are talented or even have attractive personalities. And also they gratuitously use K.
4. Uses few hair products than her husband.
5. Drives like a normal person, flies like a turtle.
6. Will eat nearly anything. Seriously. Anything.
7. Cannot. Sing. Ever. It's nearly violent.
no subject
2. Falls asleep in random places if she's not fed regularly. For instance, she once fell asleep while eating ribs.
3. Can be distracted out of any fight by talking about penguins.
4. Overuses the word 'literally.'
5. Tried to have a Canadian variety show with Alan Thicke when she was Robin Sparkles.
6. Learned to French kiss on the set of 'Sandcastles in the Sand.'
7. Has had sex on every continent except South America.
no subject
2. It doesn't stop her from occasionally wanting to bring leaves in, though. Paper is expensive.
3. Doesn't find Francine's resemblance to Xena all that uncanny. She's met one of Xena's unrelated doubles already.
4. Sometimes, when she wants to write and is a little blocked, she'll go out to the campfire area in the preserve, light a fire in one of the firepits, and get to writing. It feels familiar, and that really helps.
5. Thinks the best thing about living 3000 years in the future is chocolate-covered espresso beans.
6. The main reason she stays in Fandom is because Xena asked her to.
7. But she loves the people, and the library, and as long as there's people around she can help she's okay with that.
no subject
2. Was a child beauty queen. Well, she participated in pageants anyway.
3. Her sister is her bff.
4. Loves learning. She's actually listening in classes.
5. Likes doing different things with her hair. And it always looks good. Go ahead, judge it.
6. Looks up to whatever the meta is for Lady MacBeth.
7. First base for her is a kiss on the forehead.
no subject
2. On her sixteenth birthday, her father told her he'd buy her a Ferrari if she stopped dating girls. She said she would, just to get the Ferrari. It goes without saying that she had no intention of stopping.
3. She loves her crossbow so much she named it Joni. She'll probably never tell you it was because she just decided one day that it looked like a Joni.
4. When she was fifteen, she got involved with a straight girl, convinced herself she'd managed to turn the girl gay, and got pretty badly burned when it blew up in her face later. (Thanks for that bit of backstory for me to build on, S8 comics. For that you can stay a little.)
5. It kind of bothers her a lot that her stepmother keeps telling her kid half-sister to stay away from her. She likes the kid more than she lets on.
6. Don't call her Ken-doll. She hates that. With maybe a couple of exceptions, in which case it makes her a total pushover.
7. Has this weird, vague as hell feeling that her life just got a whole lot more complicated, but she's decided she'll deal with the complication when it comes up. Have fun with that, Kenn.
no subject
2. Practically idolizes Corran Horn, which is why it breaks her brain so much that Corran's future wife is here in Fandom and younger than her.
3. Talks a lot, or at least talked a lot when she was younger, because after seven years of life with the largely silent Tusken Raiders she missed hearing the sound of voices.
4. Is glad she knows a little bit about her parents now, although to tell the truth she doesn't really miss them; she barely remembers them.
5. Can't quite admit to herself that she really does wish, sometimes, that she was more like Riina. Riina's as decisive and strong as she used to be, and she misses that.
6. She could have had her scars medically removed, but even if they make her self-conscious sometimes, she keeps them because she feels like she paid for them, and they're a symbol of what she lost when the Yuuzhan Vong got a hold of her.
7. She still remembers how incredibly powerful her Force abilities could be when she was working with Anakin. She misses it, but after everything she's learned in Fandom, that level of power scares her a little, too.
no subject
2. Knows morse code. Or certainly writes her MySpace profile in it.
3. Has a weird fixation with fire and the like. The number of instances where you see her playing with lighters, sparkers, candles, anything like that is quite impressive.
4. She avoids nice guys because she knows she'll only end up hurting them. It's better all around, in her opinion.
5. Is a loooot more vulnerable than she'd ever let on. She'd rather people didn't like her than thought she couldn't handle something.
6. Still holds onto a hell of a lot of guilt about what happened to Tony's accident, even though she knows there was really nothing she could've done.
7. Her thoughts on TV as per her official online profile is that 'Big Brother contestants should be given blowjobs'. I... don't even know where to start analysing that.
no subject
2. Views marriage and death as fairly synonymous.
3. Has a giant scar around his neck due to being hanged a few months back. He won't really talk about it.
4. Hates magic (especially men using it) more than he feels comfortable admitting here. It's just a side effect of realizing that his best friend is wielding it at home and is doomed to go mad and die and there's absolutely nothing that can be done to change that. Seeing people here using it without ill effect seems like cheating to him.
5. Always has a knife tucked away on him somewhere.
6. Will never come out behind in a game of dice.
7. Has an honest disdain for nobility, and for people named Artur. He's not sure how to square this with whatever it is that he and Arthur have going.
no subject
2. Knows precisely how many people he killed when he was Vader. It took months of research and it's not a number he will share. (It's an insanely large number.)
3. It doesn't matter to him in the slightest what timeline a member of his family is on. They all belong to him.
4. He's completely ticklish.
5. He secretly loves that he seems to get to teach most of the students of Fandom at some point or another.
6. He misses Obi-Wan every day.
7. Even if she'd never wanted to speak to him again when he came back as Vader, Anakin would have loved Rory the rest of his life.
no subject
2. Was a great soccer player until he accidentally killed a boy on an opposing team. Since then he has always treated humans with restraint.
3. Listens to Lacey and Katchoo's radio news broadcast religiously.
4. Yes. He really did get a vasectomy.
5. Thanks to Cal and Cable, has a strong fascination with Rumor Gal and the View
6. Is actually quite the romantic... if you can get past the whole Klingon courting rituals.
7. Will one day freak out when he meets Guinan because of The View.
