Meme: State of the Characters!

The day after a BDE where lots of stuff happened is a good time for this, right? I say right. We last did this about four months ago in December.

Stolen from

necroslacker:

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

And we have a handy dandy text box so you can just C&P it right in the box and fill in your answers. Get to it!

Character name: Emily Thorne
Character's current mood: ~~Heartbroken~~ Insomniac.
Character's current goings on: Not dealing with the BDE, not dealing with having actual person feelings, not dealing with the island at large! Also preparing herself to work and possibly expand her social circle, although she's really not that eager?
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Can't say I've planned it alright but sometime over the next month(s?) I'll start messing with some of her canon, although I need to make a comprehensive timeline because LOL FLASHBACKS.
Needs threads with: Everyone she hasn't talked to yet? And then the people she's in relatively fake!good terms with... or not so fake, alright.

Character name: April Roberta Ludgate
Character's current mood: Disillusioned
Character's current goings on: Currently April is rather bummed out by the realization that being a vampire apparently means being more of a dick than she was prepared to be. She's also feeling pretty guilty about how she killed a few people and was responsible for someone else dying, which are things she weirdly did not anticipate would be problems when she was all "oh okay sure vamp me" to Zack Addy last week. And on top of that, her leg kind of hurts after Natalie kicked her yesterday. So there's that too.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Nothing much! She needs to make a few apologies, but other than that I'm just kind of going with the flow with her. Oh, and I have two awesome options for her for AU Weekend that I'm gonna have to decide between.
Needs threads with: Jono, Sarah, Jack, Priestly, Eric, Ron, Natalie, Victor, Annie...

Because I was already logged in here...

Character name: Katherine Michelle Gregson, or just plain ol' Kate
Character's current mood: Jubilant!
Character's current goings on: So Kate and Bod managed to get to the two-year mark. That's a pretty huge thing for her right now. And they got a dog by the name of Seamus von Slade, recently. Also, she had a clone daughter for AU kids, although I failed to establish Kate's presence on the island for that. TRUST ME, SHE WAS THERE.
Coming up: Kate and Bod are both post-canon, so no actual personal canon plots for them again ever (I think, unless Gaiman writes something), but we've got some one-off stuff to do. Like them needing to babysit Evan's hyperactive kid. Also I feel like they should be forced to dine at a Barnabeez at some point because it would amuse. All those kinds of little canon throwbacks. But mostly, yes, I'm just winging it for Kate's alumni days.
Needs threads with: Allll her non-Kansas friends! But right now especially Eric. Because damn, Eric.

Edited 2013-04-15 15:38 (UTC)

Character name: Jeremy Patrick Darling
Character's current mood: Maximum! (Isn't it always?)
Character's current goings on: Oh, nothing much, as usual. He barely noticed there was something going on last week. He just played video games all through it. That's very much his thing.
Coming up: Well, graduation. After that, him and Juliet are going on a road trip, and then they'll go back into the handwavy world of canon. (He may one day return to teach as a post-canon adult, but for now his story's ending after graduation.) Before that, I should really think of some ridiculous shenanigans for him but we'll see. I've always struggled with him because he's a doof and I'm not (in the same way as him, anyway) but it'd be lovely for him to go out having done something characteristically funny and dumb.
Needs threads with: Jules, Stephanie, island rich kids, pretty girls, everyone and anyone else who wants to before he's goooone.

Character name: Christopher Andrew Brink, aka Topher
Character's current mood: Tired
Character's current goings on: Well, the last few weeks have been kind of busy. He went to the prom, had sex for the first time apart from during weird weekends and stuff, had a bunch of fake kids including one with his best friend, one with his boyfriend and one with some girl he doesn't know yet, and then got stuck in a dungeon for about a day before getting zapped by a Weeping Angel. Right now he's just kind of taking some time to nap and not deal with weirdness.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): OMG ALL THE AU WEEKEND POSSIBILITIES. I'm gonna have to roll a die or ask Twitter or something, because omg how do I choose between Marty from Cabin in the Woods, Claudio from Much Ado and this guy? (Spoilers: It will probably be Marty.) Also, I think he's going to spend part of the summer interning somewhere multiversal and crack-science-y, if I can figure out how to do it. And I'd like to have him run an islandwide Capture the Flag game if someone wants to help me with that. (Consider that an open call. Someone help me with that.)
Needs threads with: Victor, Ace, Billy, Bay, Jim, Kenzi, Peter, Tony, and a lot more people because damn I've been neglecting him lately.

Edited 2013-04-15 15:31 (UTC)

Nat and Topher haven't ~~had a completely incompatible interaction~~ talked in a while. We need to try and do something about that at some point here.

Character name: [First Name Redacted] "Stiles" Stilinski
Character's current mood: Clingy? Is that a mood?
Character's current goings on: Stiles has had a rough couple of weeks what with first having to deal with being a forever alone virgin during sex pollen week, then having a truly horrifying fake kid and then the whole BDE with sharing memories of his mother that he so did not want anyone to know about and then losing Derek and then becoming an angsty mess in front of people afterwards. So yeah, feeling really clingy and vulnerable right now.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Canon starts June 3rd and if they split it like I think they are I'll probably start that catch up in the fall. Unless it sucks, then I will live in denial and ignore it.
Needs threads with: Derek, Kitty, Mike, Jack...he should probably make friends with people his own age too, yeah.

Character name: Electroclash, also known as Sarah Noneofyourbusiness
Character's current mood: Meh.
Character's current goings on: Guy left to go be a hero way in spaaaace, so she's been a bit pissy about that because guess what, she was actually in love with that douche. But she's been getting over that. (Even if she blew out the power at MCA during sex pollen.) And spent the last week boozing it up and drinking tea like a Brit, waiting for things to blow over.
Coming up: Nothing in particular. She lives on snarky, organic interactions, so the best I can say is that she should make more friends. And maybe hero it up somewhere a bit.
Needs threads with: April, Bond, the kids that come to her office hour (GIMME ALL THE STUDENTS), anyone and everyone who can handle a snarky, swear-y Brit superheroine.

I swear to god, one day I will be not busy on an office hours day and send my potential supervillain. IT WILL HAPPEN.

Character name: Specialist Samantha Traynor
Character's current mood: Shaken ~~(not stirred)~~
Character's current goings on: Well, the BDE happened when she'd only been in town for about a weekend, and that was after she found out that there were AU kids visiting literally the day after she got here. On top of that, it's now been revealed to her that Portalocity is the worst. So Sam's very quickly becoming aware that this posting is not going to be easy, and it's freaking her out but she's trying not to show it (which is extra easy because there aren't that many people concerned about her well-being yet. Score!). She also intruded on Kaidan's super-traumatic memory of Virmire during the BDE, which has her feeling extra-skittish. Mostly, she's gotten a quick crash course in island weirdness before she's even fully unpacked her stuff, and she's not in the most perfect headspace as a result. She needs a drink, basically.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Not a lot! ME3 canon doesn't happen for about another year, so in the meantime I'd just like to have her settle in, make some friends, and brush her teeth a lot because that's a thing okay.
Needs threads with: Jack, Kaidan, Kitty and all the adults she hasn't met yet! I swear she's friendly. :)

Character name: Raven
Character's current mood: Very relieved she isn't a vampire anymore but still processing the BDE.
Character's current goings on: She's hanging out on Fandom for a few more days before heading back to New Gotham to finish up the semester.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Getting ready to head out to Glacia after graduation. Studiously ignoring her DC52 incarnation because WTF.
Needs threads with: Jono, Karla, Anakin, Cassidy, Dinah, the usual suspects

Character name: Buffy Anne Summers
Character's current mood: There will never be enough showers.
Character's current goings on: Post-BDE relaxation.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Nothing, that's why I apped her. Minimal planning. I might do something for her for AU weekend but meh. I usually don't play around much in that.
Needs threads with: Dean, Eric, Kennedy, anybody and everybody. Oh and other canon people she hasn't met yet.

Character name: Michael Lane
Character's current mood: Um.
Character's current goings on: Congrats, Mike, you just survived your first BDE! Yeah, he's kind of rattled and just generally wrapping his head around that being a thing that can happen. It's not something that'll make him run away or anything, but it's definitely a reason to think a little harder about what it means to live in a crazy place like this.

Other than that, he's working. Caritas, construction and other odd jobs on the mainland, whatever he can. Half his house is still creepy and he needs the money to do something about that.
Coming up: Nothing in particular. More house stuff? Can you tell I don't really plan for my adults? I mean, I think Dallas might come to visit for PW but that's months and months away.
Needs threads with: Derek, Stiles, Kitty, Jack, Allie, Gert, Jaina, more adults, more teens because he sucks at keeping adult boundaries, I'm just gonna say everyone here as well...

Character name: Kaidan Alenko
Character's current mood: Rattled.
Character's current goings on: He's off balance after the BDE and trying really hard to get back on it without whining at anyone about his feelings. It doesn't help that he was just starting to get over the worst of the survivor's guilt - and the last of the mourning - when he got dropkicked right back into it.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): More handwavey off-camera missions, I need to work in some references to Mass Effect: Paragon Lost, and in another six months he's going to start hearing rumors about Shepard. Mwah. But that's about it.
Needs threads with: The housemates (of course), Allie (of course), Jaina, Éponine, Sam Traynor, all the other new townies, all the other old townies and teachers he hasn't met yet. And at some point it will probably amuse me to have him glaring at Derek again.

Character name: Peter Wiggin
Character's current mood: Stressed.
Character's current goings on: After the past two weeks made it completely impossible for him to work, Peter's gotten the hell back to working. His world is kind of tailspinning right now, with all of Asia embroiled in a war (India and Pakistan allied and invading Burma, China about to invade India while it's over-extended, Thailand about to pledge allegiance to China, Russia lurking over everyone's shoulders...) and him trying to somehow maneuver himself in the middle of it. So that's his main priority.

Though recent events seem to have left him and Natalie more squared and comfortable with each other, which he is about as grateful for as he is unwilling to remark on it.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Oh god, I only just realized that this summer is when he busts the China/India thing wide open, and then everything is going to be chaotic for a while until he gets elected Hegemon in the late fall and leaves the island. Oooh. Damn. How did we get here so fast?
Needs threads with: Natalie, Topher, Kenzi, Alec, Mercy, Ben, and basically all the students ever since I'm eight months away from having to expat him aaaaah.

Character name: Jackson Whittemore
Character's current mood: Unstable.
Character's current goings on: He continues to be the kanima, which is no fun because it means ge could get brainjacked at any time and made into a murder weapon. Basically, sex pollen week was his vacation (and he got some, which was great) from worrying all the time. So naturally he spent the last week laying low and getting a little anxious about whether something bad's going to happen soon. To him. He doesn't care about anyone else. Much.
Coming up: Something bad's going to happen to him. As soon as I have the time and brain to do it, he'll be going through what's left of his canon, which involves a lot of emotional trauma as well as finally turning into a werewolf. Which incidentally is where canon ends for him because Colton Haynes clearly predicted Teen Wolf's new season was going to be a mess and fled.
Needs threads with: Korra, Stiles, Jim, Derek, Loki, oh my god everyone who can deal with him. Also, Jack, after he gets wolfified. And the other supernatural types.

Character name: Luke Castellan
Character's current mood: Nervous
Character's current goings on: Graduation's coming up and Luke is trying not to freak out too much about it.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): I'm gonna have to try to make Luke be an actual adult which is something I'm not good at, so this'll be interesting to play with.
Needs threads with: Percy, Kate, the usual suspects

Character name: Anakin Solo
Character's current mood: Impulsive (which is all the time)
Character's current goings on: He's about to go off for some canon catchup starting tonight, actually. This is the last major canon catchup for him before --
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Star By Star. OH GOD. *flails*
Needs threads with: Jaina, Anakin Skywalker, um, anyone who wants to interact with him in the next few weeks before SbS happens.

Character name: Allison Sekemoto
Character's current mood: a little quiet
Character's current goings on: Allie survived the BDE with only a little bit of personal trauma. She's more worried about certain other people and how they're coping. For now she's going to train, roam the island at night, and hopefully finally commit to an online class or two.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): There is new canon in two weeks. The bits and pieces I've seen of it have me both all asquee but also kind of worried. I need to read it, digest it and hopefully play it out over the summer.
Needs threads with: Kaidan (always!), Jack (god she owes him the biggest apology ever), Mike, Kitty, Jake, and really everyone else!

Character name: Stephanie Brown
Character's current mood: Kind of okay, actually.
Character's current goings on: Not a whole lot, or at least not more than the typical ~~handwavy because I suck~~ routine of a secret teenage vigilante sidekick. So, you know, not a whole lot in the way of sleep, lots of pretending to be a normal teenager while secretly training and crimefighting at night and all that jazz. Repressing a bit about graduation.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Well, she's sticking around for the summer, and after that it's back to Gotham City. I'm still working out the details (especially how I can AVOID WAR GAMES LIKE WHOA and still get the necessary development in) but I do plan to have her end up being Batgirl eventually AND NOT DISAPPEARING INTO A REBOOT, DO YOU HEAR ME, NEW 52? *breathes*
Needs threads with: Tony, Jeremy, Toby, Kenzi, really, anyone provided I can stop failing at getting her out more.

Character name: Kennedy
Character's current mood: Mildly not-admitting-to-it freaked out and kind of confused.
Character's current goings on: The usual business-- demon-fighting, locating and training new Slayers, trying to balance all of this with a full college course load... There's also been some ongoing repressed tension in her relationship with Willow that's starting to come to the surface a bit.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Re: the aforementioned tension with Willow, I'm going to be addressing that soon; it's just a thing related to Fandom that I felt, realistically, had to be addressed. Still have vague plans for a future plot thing that I just haven't had a chance to work out more because other things keep eating my brain.
Needs threads with: Well, she's kind of low activity at the moment because alum, but I need to resume her ridiculous gift-basket war with Warren, for one. Tara, because the ridiculousness of her being the biggest Willow/Tara shipper in the world amuses me far too much. Buffy because OBVIOUSLY. Bobby, Raven, Wesley, any of her old friends/former students. I miss playing this girl regularly, and she's always fun to write.

Character name: Nobody Owens
Character's current mood: Excellent
Character's current goings on: He and Kate just celebrated two years of being together! So, that's the big news. They also got a tiny baby puppy that's currently terrorizing her parents! Other than that, he works and he spends time with Kate and Seamus and he loves that.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Well, I definitely want him to meet Kate's FANTASTICALLY DOUCHEY EX-BOYFRIEND, Stupid Hair, at some point. And then yes, babysitting for Evan's kid because they're used to Dorian and that kid is not Dorian.
Needs threads with: Kate and...anyone, really. Bod's quiet and he's not always outgoing but he's friendly!

Character name: Priestly
Character's current mood: Kinda proud, actually
Character's current goings on: He managed to survive the BDE and even get some badassery in there, at the same time, so his head is maybe slightly full. Even the freaking arrow wound in his shoulder isn't going to bring him down, right now. Though he's going to get real tired of trying to cook with one hand real quick.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): He's gonna want to do a whole lot of nothing for a bit, then start doing some PT, because if nothing else, Dinah will make him. Eventually (the fall, I think), he'll be headed back to school part time to learn to be a nutritionist. And you thought he was obnoxious about people eating veggies before
Needs threads with: Dinah (naturally), Momoko, Karla, April, Dean, and pretty much everybody else

Character name: Pinkie Pie
Character's current mood: Pinkie Pie (it's a mood now)
Character's current goings on: She feels so bad for getting eaten instead of teaching class last week. How was she to know the grue didn't want to make friends? Really, now. But she's determined to work extra hard being a great friendship teacher to make up for it! DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY HUGS, MAGGOTS! Yay!
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Yeah, I don't really plan things with Pinkie. They just happen. Though at some point, I really have to get around to figuring out how to do Too Many Pinkie Pies on the island. PLAGUE OF PINKIES.
Needs threads with: Everypony! SHE LOVES YOU ALL. Including you, Emily!

I just saw this, I had to.

Character name: Sam LaCroix
Character's current mood: Confused and depressed
Character's current goings on: Uh, he doesn't even know. He and Natalie slept together with and without the benefit of sex pollen and he has no idea what they're doing. He also kissed Brid because he couldn't think of anything else to do. He's having a lot of trouble with his personal life so he'll probably get a little more reckless in the raising and dealing with the dead. Maybe he'll take on a little more of Douglas Montgomery's characteristics and freak himself out when he realizes it since he's afraid of going that way but I kind of want to touch on it other than saying it.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): The aforementioned turning him into a little more Montgomery like, really. He'll get a little more dangerous and evil and then he'll snap out of it. Developing his not-relationship with Brid some more and the stuff with Natalie. Down the road? His next book of canon!
Needs threads with: Natalie, Peter (oh come on, they should meet at some point), Toby, Kate, other necromancers, anyone!

Peter (oh come on, they should meet at some point)

Natalie votes a firm NO.

Character name: Arietty Clock
Character's current mood: Homesick
Character's current goings on: She's glad you all didn't get secretly eaten by a giant cat.
Coming up (stuff that you've got planned that's on the horizon): Arietty will be dropping through another hole back into her canon come the end of the semester. She misses the Underground and being around other borrowers too much.
Needs threads with: Kenzi and Mercy, primarily. She will miss them!

Character name: Karolina Dean
Character's current mood: Okay.
Character's current goings on: Karolina skipped the BDE because I was being nice, so she got called to LA for villain-smashings on Monday and she's been there ever since, and she's coming back tomorrow, I think. So, hero stuff!
Coming up: She's supposed to go on a daaate with Liara, omg. Expect much alien flailing. Although that joy may be slightly short-lived as canon will scoop her up and awaaay for at least the first summer term. Because, um, her fiancé shows up and she needs to go to her parents' home world to try and put things right. But, at least she'll come back a little more confident and in touch with her heritage?
Needs threads with: Liara, Jim, Gert, Victor, Olive, Sparkle, Cade, all the teen superheroes, she's very friendly.

Omg it took me hours to notice this comment but omg DATE. JSYK, you are now being pelted with shipper flags. That's what you're being buried under right now, in case you were curious.

I like Xavin too. But you're getting Liarolina shipper flags now. Deal with it.

Actually I think this is the exact appropriate account for this comment.
