State O' Them Thar Characters

It's just about two months since our last SOTC so time to do it again! We've got the Career Fair this weekend and Parent's Weekend right after so plenty to talk about!

Everyone loves gabbing about their characters, don't even lie, so this is your chance. Talk as much or as little as you'd like! Talk about whatever you'd like! Upcoming plots, relationships (both romantic and friendship), enemies, plans for the future, anything!

For example:

Character name: Dolores Umbridge
Character's current mood: PISSED OFF
Character's current goings on: Sometimes, it's hard for me to play her because she's so intensive and tiring. But, she's having fun hexing students and pissing off teachers. I'm enjoying her games of give and take with Anakin and Wade, particularly. I'd love to see her thread more with Roy. She'll be leaving soon but not before a big explosive ending.
Needs threads with: Everyone because she wants to kiiiiiiiiill you all


I've even changed it up a little, set up a small text box that you can feel free to C&P with some extra added information about the character in question. You absolutely don't have to use it though!

Character name: Wesley Wyndam-Pryce
Character's current mood: Accomplished!
Character's current goings on: He just went through his very first bit of Angel canon! He met up with Cordelia and Angel in LA and actually killed (canon says helped them kill, but I say kill) a demon that was selling human/demon/seer/etc parts on the black market. So he is smug about that. Um, what else...? He just turned 18, he had an awesome time in Hawaii, and he's dating Katniss and being adorable with her.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Cordy and maybe Angel are going to come to Parents' Weekend and torment him a little bit with "ha, ha, you still go to high school" mockery. And he's going to start helping them on cases with research and stuff. From Fandom, of course.
Needs threads with: Katniss, Kennedy, Quinn, Nathan, Karla, Warren, Percy...

Character name: Faramir
Character's current mood: Silent
Character's current goings on: He's in a ranger mode. Doing the whole, off into the preserve thing to overthink everything he learned from Beren while not talking about it. I found out that while he's honest and forthright, he's all too eager to worry about someone else's problems instead.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Not specifically planned, but I really do want to have Faramir take a trip home sometime after PW. He can flail and try to find a way to hide as much as possible from his father without actually lying.
Needs threads with: Lesbians, girl fighty characters, male fight character, non fighty characters... everyone!

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2011-03-03 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Jacob Black
Character's current mood: Lalalalalalala
Character's current goings on: He's being lazy. He's sort of getting over the whole getting dumped thing, though there's a pile of issues there but I see signs of him getting his flirt on and that's a start. Though there's a pile of abandonment issues just waiting to happen, but somehow they magically haven't yet.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Nothing really. I'm good letting him bubble along for the moment and see what happens.
Needs threads with: Usual suspects. Bod because they're dorks, Bella because he's glad she's happy, Scully because I'm not sure he registered that she's an adult, Jono because they're freaks, Rosalind because it will have to happen at some point, Ramona because he kind of forgets his gloom around her, Leo because the meta and wow characters who don't hate, and and and many more but I'm headachy

I am still amazed we finally have two characters that don't hate each other. Amazed.

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-03-03 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Jeremy Darling
Character's current mood: Lazy.
Character's current goings on: Not much. Going to classes, talking to people, writing the gossip column with his dear sister. He leads a very simple (if expensive) life, our Jeremy does.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): In addition to having his own family to deal with over PW, he'll also get to see what he'll look like in ten years time and then deal with some mild consequences from sharing his face with that particular person. Other than that, there are nooo plans for him.
Needs threads with: EVERYONE. More specifically Juliet, Bod, Caroline, Stephanie, and I guess he should check in with his fake big bro now that he's a little more willing to accept Fandom is weird.

And pretty girls he can be charming at.

[personal profile] longislandiceme 2011-03-03 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Bobby Drake
Character's current mood: the broody side of thoughtful.
Character's current goings on: Mostly just stuff back home, dealing with that whole "reports of Warren's death were greatly exaggerated" thing, among others.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): He and Sookie have been dancing around some pretty srs bzns conversations they need to have. Also, the end of the X-Factor storyline sometime in the next few months...
Needs threads with: Everyone ever omg

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2011-03-03 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Alex Karev
Character's current mood: Moody
Character's current goings on: There's no plot or anything for him but he's dealing with stuff at home continuing it's downward spiral and that's probably going to figure into a big boom at some point, both here and at home.

And he forgot his birthday. Ooops.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): There's been talk of a big blow up with Effy considering they've been stable for so long. And I'll probably couple that with his mom continuing to get worse and dealing with his siblings being out of his grasp. He just needs to get knocked down several pegs. He's too stable right now.
Needs threads with: Effy (always), Emma, Rose, Kate, Bobby McCallister, anyone who might be willing to call him on his shit or walk his drunk ass home at some point, anyone who has a shitty family life that can commiserate and anyone that wants to get into tussles. Anyone!

[identity profile] trickydemigod.livejournal.com 2011-03-03 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Luke Castellan
Character's current mood: Guilty
Character's current goings on: Well we're well into The Lightning Thief portion of the canon catch up, so he's working for Kronos and fully believing that he's doing the right thing for the demigods. He's also ridiculously in love with his boyfriend but feels bad about lying to him. He's dragged Nico into his whole thing and, while he's glad to have an ally in this, he feels bad about making Nico lie to everyone. So basically he feels bad. That's the jist of this. Oh, and he's being punished with hella bad nightmares a couple times a week and requires cuddles to make them better
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): The actual weetiny Percy parts of the first book is coming up in June. That'll have some fallout.
Needs threads with: Katniss, Kate, other K-named people to go with the theme, Leia, Maladicta, I guess some boys because all I've named is girls, Jason, his canonmates 'cause...canonmates and everyone ever so long as they don't mind being friends with someone who may or may not be evil

[identity profile] fiery-demigod.livejournal.com 2011-03-03 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Leo Valdez
Character's current mood: Spaztastic, as always.
Character's current goings on: Nothing. New canon doesn't come out until October.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): He'll be getting a visit from his BFF and his favorite goddess/psychotic babysitter during PW. So excited.
Needs threads with: Everyone. Seeeeriously. He was so lonely during spring break :( He'll talk to anybody, for serious. This month is kind of relaxed for me school-wise so I should be around more and less TD-y than the last two months.

Character name: Jason Todd
Character's current mood: Content
Character's current goings on: At the moment, he doesn't have anything going on except school and self-training. (Not dirty!)
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Next week, Jason is going home for a few days to go through some crossover canon mwahahahahahaha and then a certain dark knight might be coming for Parents' Weekend, but I haven't decided for sure yet. *flail*
Needs threads with: Everyone OMG. He didn't get to talk to many people over spring break so feel free to ping him when you see him out. :)

Character's current mood: content enough
Character's current goings on: Noooooot a lot. Which means he may need to stir up some trouble (unintentionally omg)
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Nicht!
Needs threads with: Sherlock, John Watson, Rilla, Claudia, Scully, Bruce, Ender, Alexander, Ariel, Rikku, Spock... omg anyone who wants to hang out with a dorky little Canadian.

Character name: Nobody Owens
Character's current mood: Sadly Resigned
Character's current goings on: Not much but I expected that. He's just sad and lonely right now and really, really tired. He had a good time in Hawaii and now he's come back to Fandom and he's reminded of why he's sad. He covers it really well though so he won't look like a mopey little Englishman if you see him.

He and Kate had a bit of a good then bad conversation the other day. I think Bod's now a bit burnt out on initiating anything though. He's come to the conclusion that it's on her now. He can't keep doing it and getting very little in return.

I'm still working on getting him out, getting him involved. His job at the diner has helped with that because it gets him out and gives him money and he so does love talking to people that mosey in there.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Parent's Weekend is the big one. Silas will be showing up again and he's not going to be too happy with certain people. Bod'll be happy to see him though and will take any opportunity he can to reconnect with his home.

There are STILL plans to send him home for some closure wrt his murdered family. I just gotta get my stuff together.
Needs threads with: Jacob (because his roommate makes him laugh), Caroline (because she can get him to laugh too), Katniss (she makes him think), Ariel (because she makes him laugh), Kate (because the business is so unfinished), Jeremy (because he doesn't want to hate that face), anyone who digs hanging out in cemeteries and anyone else who just wants to chat with a strange guy!
vanillajello: (That's kinda hilarious.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-03-03 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Silas will be showing up again and he's not going to be too happy with certain people.

Combine this with Nathan's plans, and I think we'll finally be able to make Kate decide PW is her utterly absolute least favourite thing about Fandom.

Character name: Quinn Fabray
Character's current mood: Good, in a waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop kind of way.
Character's current goings on: She seems to be seeing Puck! Kind of. Casually. No need to go crazy with it just because she slept with him, or anything. Other than that, she's happy in her job and activities and looking forward to the summer.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Well, obviously I junked most of canon, but her dad still has to fall for a tattooed freak. Beyond that development, I'm winging it.
Needs threads with: Maladicta, Puck, Wesley, Claudia, Nathan, Rilla ... anyone and everyone, really.

Character name: Sookie Stackhouse
Character's current mood: Repressing!
Character's current goings on: She and Bobby are tooooootes scooting around like 8 different things they need to talk about. Hawaii got in the way of all the angst omg. Otherwise, she's pretty good.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): I juuuust got approval on a cracky great plot that will be going down in April! We get to hang with the Queen of Louisiana!
Needs threads with: Um everyone. I've barely played this week because deathflu took over my life (not because I am sick) and I had to keep a 28 year-old man from drowning in bowls of chicken soup.

Character name: Kate Gregson
Character's current mood: CONFLICTED AND CONFUSED AND ARGH Just fine, thanks.
Character's current goings on: Ugh, Kate is all over the place, lately. She's dating a 27-year-old restaurant chain owner called Zach, but she's still hung up on Bod enough that she pretty much cut her vacation short last week just to not obsess over having to watch him with someone else. That may have had something to do with having had to take care of their AU spawn for a weekend, which was heartbreaking but somehow bittersweetly good in places. Aaand she's finally starting to admit to herself that she understands why things went the way they went with them, and she does not like that one bit. And kinda hates Bod a bit for making her think maybe they're not quite as finished with each other as she'd like to think.

She's also kind of trying a little too hard to fit in to Zach's world. And she's now had not one but two friends declare him a dick without ever having even met him, and that's pissing her off. But at least she talked to a devampified Hannibal, and that's making her a little optimistic about something at least, even if she dreads actually meeting him. And won't be giving up her knife practice anytime soon, though those two things aren't directly related.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): PW draaama! And then the last two episodes of season two, which will probably get wrapped up in the same week as S3 starts on telly, whoot. After that, it's back to regularly scheduled improvising! Even though I have some initial parts of that already planned out, shush.
Needs threads with: Mitchell, Nathan, Luke, Emma, Caroline (the mutual jealousy is amusing), Jake (because I'm sure there'd be an epic fight), Puck, everyone I'm forgetting because I'm sleepy, everyone who wants to thread with her, really.

She's only as broody as all the above might make it seem like at a very select few. Mostly Nathan. Sorry, Nathan.

Character's current mood: Fickle
Character's current goings on: Nothing too terribly exciting! She went on a date with Bruce last night which we're still playing out and I've now got two boys added to the League, la. Otherwise, she just got to re-dye her hair, yay!
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Nothing! She is like the easiest.
Needs threads with: Omfg everyone. Bruce, Tony, Jacob, Nathan, Leo -- omg, and maybe some girls. Ramona totes has a boys' club.
vanillajello: (Chit chat.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-03-03 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ramona totes has a boys' club.

Kate suffers from the same problem. It's just yet another good reason for us to get these chicks talking to each other.

Character's current mood: Dopey
Character's current goings on: He's seeing Quinn! You know, kinda. Shh. He's just glad she's letting him kind of exist near her sometimes, so he's a little silly over it. Otherwise, he continues to be plotless and easy! Though he does feel bad about calling Kate's boyfriend a tool. Even if he really does look like one.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): I have none of that omg.
Needs threads with: EVERYONE. I love throwing Puck at people. Even people who don't want to sleep with him. Especially because he's not allowed to anymore.

Character's current goings on: She's sort of just enjoying life for the moment, since she's getting some unwanted visitors for Parents' Weekend, and she'll be going home with them to hear the news about the Quell. DUN DUN DUN.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Well, the Quell. And then this summer is going to bring the 75th Games.

Character name: Nathan Young
Character's current mood: Dandy with a side of 'what the shit is this?' It's a feeling!
Character's current goings on: Entertaining himself! Okay, that's not true. More specifically, I'm still working Nathan into his little niche, having him flirt with girls while dealing with some ACTUALFAX real feelings going on there. He doesn't know what to do with those but he kind of likes them too.

So, he and Caroline finally did it (after they'd admitted there was some mutual like liking there) and now they don't know what the hell's going on which is leading to fighting in an ongoing post because they both are idiots and stupid and all that. And Nathan likes running off at the mouth so he's never good at civil conversations. Oops.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Winging it all! No one's going to be coming for him around PW and he's gonna take that hard but he's not gonna show it. He's only really got his mum and her not showing will make him think that she cares about her new boyfriends more than him. So, rare moment for some broodiness/sadness.

He also plans on telling Kate's boyfriend he's a dick and will probably be having a conversation (or at least meeting) Caroline's guest. His birthday's 3/15 and he'll be eighteen so combine that with the sulkiness from PW, he'll be wanting to do SOMETHING insane.

And I am sure he and Caroline will be continuing their dance of YOU SUCK NO YOU SUCK LET'S MAKE OUT NO YOU SUCK NO I LIKE YOU. It's fun to play for me.
Needs threads with: Caroline, Kate, Karla, Ramona, Wesley, Jacob (he should at least say hello to his big brother considering he lives with Jacob's BFF, a vampire), Quinn, Leia (they'd probably hit it off), maybe some more dudes? IDK, he gets on better with girls, it seems. Also, if you ever wanna punch him in the face? DO IT OMG.

Character's current mood: Um. Dealing? A little annoyed? Nothing overwhelming.
Character's current goings on: She is recovering from other people's plots and dealing with Kennedy's upcoming graduation.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): A special PW guest, some very sad but necessary stuff over the summer.
Needs threads with: Kennedy (duh). Ender, just because I was impressed how fast they got all deep at a freaking dance. Karla. Raven. Jono. Rinoa. Sookie. Anybody!

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-03-03 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Ender Wiggin
Character's current mood: ...Stable is a mood, right?
Character's current goings on: Going home and seeing all of his Jeesh again, plus getting yet another taste of just how messed up things are with his former charges on Earth, plus having to deal with his brother and *that* end of the massive Wiggin pool of Oh God, If Only Their Parents Had Been Any Good At Parenting At All, plus The Thing with Ben (where Ben still insists on repressing/ignoring (yay!) but seems to be poking around the edges of that (less yay)), plus the Hive Queen starting to get impatient and calling to him-- Ender's had a lot on his plate lately, and it's taken him a while to get back into equilibrium, as it were.

He and Ben have a kind of honesty pact going now (which he's kind of flagrantly breaking with regards to Jane and the Hive Queen) that seems to have brought them closer, his relationship with Karla is getting back to what it was, and he's branching out and trying to get a bead on more people at the school, albeit distantly enough that he doesn't have to connect with them in full.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Parents' Weekend with one of his old Jeeshmates and maybe Val, a pretty messed-up 20-years-reunion deal when that rolls around, maybe an interstellar roadtrip over the summer... but coming back to things that are actually on the horizon, he's probably hitching a ride back to Eros for a few days soon to sort things out.
Needs threads with: Ben and Karla, always; Cassidy, Tony, William, Bod, Tara, Raven, and anyone from the Skywalker clan/Jedi end of the pool; anyone else whose story he can gently poke at and talk to without getting too involved.

Character name: Claudia Donovan
Character's current mood: Gleeful
Character's current goings on: She's riding the high of having gotten her brother back from teleportation limbo -- even though he then decided he was going to run off and play with a super-collider on another continent. To be fair, she could have gone with him, but she'd argue that she doesn't speak Swiss (she's not the best with knowledge of other countries). She also has an open invitation to go play in a giant warehouse full of weird, powerful artifacts. Well, okay, inventory said giant warehouse. But that still means she can explore, right?
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Not much, other than her managing to "accidentally" come back to Fandom one weekend with a Tesla. (Like I could resist getting her a steampunk phaser? COME ON, NOW.) Other than that, she's just, ya know, chillin'.

Character's current mood: SDFKLDSFKLCXJVSDFKLJ WHY DO I HAVE TO FIX EVERYTHING
Character's current goings on: Vampire killings all over Bristol that aren't being covered up, and three guesses who has to fix it? YES. MITCHELL. He hasn't been on island for over a week and he's steadily going completely insane something he will repeat frequently in the next few months.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Well, he's about one or two days away from bashing some vampire's teeth out and asserting his position as Vampire King of Bristol. After that? He's coming back to Fandom and he's going to get completely wasted to deal with the whole thing. HI, ERIC.

Character's current mood: DISPROPORTIONATELY (okay, all things considered not that disproportionately) EMO
Character's current goings on: Oh, man. She's hiding out a lot! Poor girl had some rough crap go down at home recently and it's making her the opposite of social (particularly because it's not stuff she's going to go around sharing, exactly), but I promise that won't last forever, because -- see below.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): I have to send her home to go through "The Bitter Suite" soon! Oh, cracky canon musical set in the magical Rider-Waite tarot card symbolism land of Illusia. (Yeah, this is why she missed last OMWF day.) And I've got some vague plans in place for the end of season 3, and tying some Fandom folks into that, whee, then kicking off season 4 during the summer so I can get her to the beginning of season 5 before graduation.
Needs threads with: Karla-the-roomie, Faramir, people in general -- girl needs more friends, and I am actually incredibly tickled by the idea of her trying to make friends with Katniss all of a sudden. MAKING FRIENDS WITH STANDOFFISH FIGHTY TYPES IS HER THING.
