State of the Characters: Special Reunion Edition!

Greetings, all! As people have been putting some time into thinking about their Characters of Time Gone By on this, Throwback Thursday, we felt it was an excellent time to dust of ye old State of the Characters meme so you can get your backstory straight for the weekend. This can be for allllll characters you've played, not just the ones who might be showing up on Saturday!

I've pasted some coding below so just C&P it and to use to talk about what your kids have been up to since we last saw them. Make this messy and use the meme as a way to connect with old friends/canonmates and get your stories straight, too, if you'd like!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

What's your name? Mara Jade (Star Wars, current sophomore)
How are you feeling right now? Unsteady
What's going on for you at the present time? I've come back from my handwavy time at home working for the galaxy's best boss, Emperor Palpatine, who sent me to infiltrate a pirate gang over the summer. The pirates have not learned to shower. So. Gross. I come back to find my roommate's moved out and my ~~other~~ crush has a girl-person now. Woe is me. At least Merrill seems okay.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? Why would I get a tattoo?
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? Mara's probably going to be breaking a few Star Wars brains because it's fun, but she's up for meeting anyone else, too, of course!
Anyone you need threads with? Leia, please, and I'll have to do a thing with myself ~~not dirty~~ to talk with Luke, but anyone, anyone, anyone!

What's your name? Chuck Bass
How are you feeling right now? Rich and successful.
What's going on for you at the present time? The usual. Running hotels and Bass Inc. Drinking. Dressing better than everybody else.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? Chuck is now 23 years old and a slightly more responsible human being. Is still doing the "are we or aren't we" thing with Blair because I still don't know how I feel about the finale except Dan is totally Gossip Girl because it's hilarious.
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? Not that I can think of!
Anyone you need threads with? Winchesters, Jaina, anybody new, anybody old

Tbh, at the very least Ezra should flirt at Chuck. In a great collision of two Fandom eras of sleeping with everyone who's willing.

Easy ones first!

What's your name? Jaina Solo
How are you feeling right now? Good!
What's going on for you at the present time? Jaina's a newlywed! She married Jag Fel in June and is living on Coruscant, getting used to living with another person. Also she got promoted to Jedi Master so booyah. Also she's 35 now thanks to time skips.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? Let's see... Joined an alien bug hivemind temporarily, assassinated her Sith twin brother, has been back to Fandom a few times to teach, etc. She's probably sucked at keeping in touch with anyone who didn't reach out to her first, for the most part.
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? Nothing specific but I totally want her to meet up with old friends. Who I will then drag back to stay.
Anyone you need threads with? I don't know who's back this weekend yet but eeeeeeeeeeeeveryone. Also any Jedi or relatives.

What's your name? Clarke Griffin
How are you feeling right now? Guilty. And, yes, still weirded out by all this.
What's going on for you at the present time? Trying to deal with the weird situation of being a student while trying to not guilt to death about what could possibly be going on back home. I feel like I should be making more of an effort to get back.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? Haven't missed much, really. Certainly not a tattoo.
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? Clarke might be lying low for the most part but I'll try to get her out here and there.
Anyone you need threads with? Bellamy, Wash, Jasper, anybody and anyone.

What's your name? Nadia Santos (Alias)
How are you feeling right now? Shaky, but pretty relieved
What's going on for you at the present time? Well, I was recently revived from a zombie coma just in time to meet my new infant niece. So that's pretty cool. My father is still being an asshole, though.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? After leaving Fandom I went full time into working for SIDE, Argentina's department for covert affairs. That went alright until Sydney showed up -- with no idea who I was -- and managed to get me concussed when she decided to break my cover in the mental institution I was working and help me "escape". That led to me getting kidnapped by my biological father and drugged so I could automatically write out this giant code. When that mess got cleared up, Sydney recruited me to APO -- the United States' extra-extra secret department for covert affairs -- and I started dating this pretty great guy who also worked there, and everything seemed to be going pretty well, really -- and then my mother and my aunt -- who raised me in Argentina without ever telling me we were, you know, related -- decided to dive down deeper into this whole Rambaldi nonsense, drugged me again, and turned me into this weird red eyed zombie thing who tried to kill Sydney. Hence the coma.

But I'm totally fine now!
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? Dramatic irony for the few days before she goes home and canonically dies? IDEK.
Anyone you need threads with? Oooo, anyone from back in the day. But especially Marty and Jamie.

What's your name? Stiles Stilinski. First name starts with the letter M apparently. Whatever it is, it's tattooed on Derek's chest now.
How are you feeling right now? So happy that it's making me paranoid that it's going to end horribly.
What's going on for you at the present time? Just started sophomore year at UMD! And the mun is trying to get up the strength to see if season five is worth doing since season four is un-doable.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? Well Stiles does have three tattoos but only one is weird. Also he got engaged \o/
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? Stiles will be away for the weekend. Romantic getaways and all that.
Anyone you need threads with? Derek (always), Clint, Kitty, Mike, I will one day actually get him in a public post

What's your name? Clark Kent
How are you feeling right now? Bewildered
What's going on for you at the present time? Living the dream, though worried that my six year old son seems to be developing super-powers, despite being asthmatic and having numerous allergies.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos?
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character?
Anyone you need threads with? Well it would be wonderful to see Lana and Aziraphale again if they're around.

What's your name? Kitty Pryde
How are you feeling right now? Curious.
What's going on for you at the present time? Kitty is still running Caritas and spending a couple days a week at the Xavier School in New York as a guidance counselor to mutant students. She's also engaged to Clint and being not very good at planning that.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? Not much, aside from the stuff above. No tattoos but thanks to canon she is minus piercings.
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? Nope. She'll probably be on the back burner for the most part, which will be weird.
Anyone you need threads with? Everyone who wants to see her!

What's your name? Isabel Evans-Halliwell
How are you feeling right now? Pretty damn good. Looking forward to the weekend.
What's going on for you at the present time? Happily married and raising a daughter, working as an event planner in San Francisco, occasionally helping out with demon vanquishing when needed
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? Other then Victoria being born and random demon weirdness things have been quiet
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? Catching up with people
Anyone you need threads with? All the Meerkats and Stickbugs that turn up!

What's your name? York

Anyone you need threads with? Wash, Bellamy, anybody and everybody

What's your name? Anakin Skywalker. Yeah, that one. Still.
How are you feeling right now? Bemused.
What's going on for you at the present time? He's teaching Ethics (as he has every year since the first one he came back for as Vader, good GOD), this time with Obi-Wan! It's going about as well as can be expected when your BFF from another dimension shows up and isn't far enough from the timeline to not be okay with the "so I murdered children and killed the entire Order" life choice.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? Anakin graduated in the class of 2006 (!!!1!!), went back home, went through canon, got married, got Padme pregnant, turned Dark Side, became Darth Vader and brooded off camera for about two weeks before showing up as Vader in the fall. He was redeemed thanks to his son Luke, cleaned up his act, got out of the suit (yay, clone technology!), pulled his head from his ass with the help of Aeryn and Rory, married Rory and had two more children: Juliet and Christopher. He also got two tattoos because he has poor impulse control. He's now the Dean of Students (control your cackling) and has mellowed with age, in that he no longer actively plots to kill all of you and hasn't thrown anyone into detention in years.

He's prepared to make exceptions, though.
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? He's probably one of the few around who would recognize everyone, and that is terrifying.
Anyone you need threads with? ALL OF THE PEOPLE. Bring me your dropped and lonely people who he will remember, I promise. Especially Hamlet. And Bristow. And Logan. Yeeees.

What's going on for you at the present time? After a long while of living with/around his best friend Steve and being part of a True Companions kind of group of friends, Jeff finally had enough of all of his romantic mishaps and decided to move to the island of Lesbos.

He was terribly mistaken about the nature of the island of Lesbos.

So he decided to become a hermit.

Angela is a school teacher and Marty does security consulting.

Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character?
Well, Marty will be all twitchy about returning to Fandom after so many years. I know he needs to see Kitty and have a comical meltdown over that.

Anyone you need threads with? Any and all people.

What's your name? Tyler Durden
How are you feeling right now? Fine. A little hungry.
What's going on for you at the present time? Living in Malibu, still seeing Tony when he's not Avengering. People have kind of forgotten Fight Club by now, or at least stopped recognizing me from it, which would be disappointing if it wasn't the biggest fucking relief known to man.

Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? No plans in particular, really.
Anyone you need threads with? Chuck, anyone else who wants to spend fond time with the somewhat traumatized angel.

What's your name? L. Quinn Fabray
How are you feeling right now? Stressed. "Sure, Quinn, go back to your second weirdest high school for a reunion the weekend before you start your last year at Yale. That's a great idea! You probably won't even turn into a pony!"
What's going on for you at the present time? College senior, applying to drama schools and MBA programs because I like to have options. Dating Puck (again) -- my Puck, not the one who went here. Apparently I have a type.

What's your name? Hermione Granger
How are you feeling right now? Busy.
What's going on for you at the present time? After the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione graduated from school and then came back to Fandom to teach for a while. Then she returned to England, where she's now working as an intern at the Ministry of Magic and probably changing the whole department to work more efficiently. She and Ron are still together.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? Nah, not really.
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? You all know who's coming back, even if for a few hours Fandom time.
Anyone you need threads with? Old friends, old students, UMBRIDGE...

I keep being mildly surprised when I type in the password for these older journals and it works. . . .

What's your name? Claudia Donovan
How are you feeling right now? Confident
What's going on for you at the present time? Oh, you know, madcap adventure, life threatening ultra-science, even a touch of mystical hoodoo, so long as Artie's not looking.
What have we missed? Any highlights? Lowlights? Weird tattoos? I'm officially a full time agent at the Warehouse! I'm . . . not a full time agent with the Secret Service yet, and Myka keeps giving me looks for taking a pretty easy set of courses at the University of South Dakota, but I'm apparently destined to run this joint eventually, so it's not like they can kick me out if I'm never on the "official" payroll, right?
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? Nothing in particular, really. Just enjoying an environment that is for once even weirder than what she deals with at home on a daily basis.
Anyone you need threads with? Big sister Karla would be fabulous, if she's around! And basically everyone else.

I figure Claudia and Quinn probably half-assed keep in touch through social media and so on. What do you think?

How are you feeling right now? Excited.
What's going on for you at the present time? John and Aeryn are still married, with their son Talyn being in second grade now. She's working as the world's scariest personal trainer and has adjusted to Earth sort of all right but you're all still weird. She's definitely kept in touch with Anakin, so others are free to know what's up with her too!
Anything you'd like to explore this weekend with this character? I JUST WANNA PLAY HER.
Anyone you need threads with? OLBIES HI. John and Anakin and Rory and Isabel and Jamie and EVERYONE SHE EVER MET.
