Comments

[throughaphase]

What's your name? Kitty Pryde-Barton
How are you feeling right now? Look. Just... look. There's a lot going on right now.
What's going on for you at the present time? Third trimester. Questioning a lot of decisions after getting them kind of thrown at her during the BDE, and I should really find a way to snap her out of this?
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Nothing really specific aside from seeing how she does as a mom, especially in a place that throws weird stuff around on a regular basis. Because I really don't know for sure yet how that'll go! Adventure!
What's coming up for you? I have one more little canon thing I want to do, and then it's all baby for a while. There's more canon I can do, but there's so much of where they took Kitty that I either don't like or doesn't work for FH, so there'll be a lot of picking and choosing
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Honestly anyone. She's the easiest to get out and the one I typically post when I'm bored so have at her!

[thatwaslucky]

What's your name? Rey
How are you feeling right now? There are mixed feelings.
What's going on for you at the present time? Rey leaves on Friday to head back home for what she thinks is probably for good, though she's not entirely sure it's the best idea and won't admit it to herself. She's going to do it anyway.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Umm see next answer.
What's coming up for you? I think I've figured out how to do TLJ without waiting forever or jossing myself (at least not too hard). One of those things where the potential reward is worth the "oh god what if I ruin everything" risk. She's got some time before that though.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Anyone who wants to talk to her in the next couple days before it gets a lot harder to bump into her.

[uncertain_dume]

What's your name? Kanan Jarrus
How are you feeling right now? Ha. Still working my way up to feelings. Weirdest mix of betrayed, loved, and utterly dazed when I manage it, though.
What's going on for you at the present time? Kanan seems to have gone from having no Jedi in his life to having Jedi in his life from 4000 years in one direction to about 50 in the other and it is both amazing and utterly screwing with his head. You know something's big when the steady-ground option seems to be flinging himself headlong into a rebellion he wasn't entirely certain he wanted to leap into in the first place.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Jedi stuff? Space Dad stuff? He's still working on becoming the person he was by Rebels canon, and he's making big strides and a few missteps along the way, because missteps are delicious.
What's coming up for you? Well, there's about five years left, give or take, before he picks up an actual Padawan of his own. Somewhere in there, he and Hera need to pick up two more crewmembers. There's no actual rush to get there, but so help me I WANNA.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? ... I mean, everyone. This boy gets out a lot mostly because he's my easiest to play and I have yet to have an interaction with someone that I didn't enjoy, since they can go in any direction ever, basically.

[always_someone]

What's your name? Norman Babcock
How are you feeling right now? Pretty okay, actually!
What's going on for you at the present time? Well, there was no trauma to speak of for this kid during the BDE, he seems to have kind of inherited management of the Magic Box, and Bob has decided to stick around to train him in magic, which is a huge relief for him since god only knows what he'd actually capable of.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Kid needs to get out more, make friends, get more comfortable in his own skin. It's still kind of a work in progress. He'll probably always be a bit of a loner, at least a little.
What's coming up for you? No big plans for this one!
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Other students, other awkward nerds with weird abilities, anyone who figures they'd be a good mentor figure for a boy who can communicate with the dead and maybe kindasorta has the potential to raise zombies if he gets angry enough oops...

[somethingwithturquoise]

What's your name? Summer Smith

How are you feeling right now? I"M BACK, BITCHEEEEEESSS!!! I'm elated. I have an apartment, I have a BUSINESS, I'm teaching a class and back to the one place in all the dozens of places in all the different universes and dimensions where I've actually been happy. Stoked doesn't even begin to cover it.

There may also be a small thread of complete and utter terror about failing miserably, but I'm not thinking about that part okay?

What's going on for you at the present time? See above! It's a whole new move for Summer, she actually has a goal in mind and is making it happen, and it's going to be really fun seeing how she develops and grows in a more adult and independent role. A good way to whittle some time before new canon eventually comes around, and, in the meantime, I plan to exploit some of the comics when I finally get around to digging into them more.

Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I keep answering the next questions in the previous questions. But, yes, a more adult, "mature" (heavy, heavy quotation marks there) Summer is going to be interesting, now that she's in a new social strata and more focused on the next steps in her life.

What's coming up for you? Nothing much besides the obvious newness for now. They're literally talking Holiday 2019 for new episodes of my canon, so...yeah.... *twiddles thumbs* Hopefully, I get to weasel her deeper into other peoples' canons in the meantimes, though, mwa ha ha

Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Now that Summer considers them all totally her peers, I am so, so looking forward to her installing herself in as an adult member of this community, especially with former teachers, as well as it being so much easier and less awkward to throw her at other townies that she might not have otherwise had the chance to interact with.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

What's your name? Sabine Wren
How are you feeling right now? Actually okay.
What's going on for you at the present time? She's resigned to being h to the for a while it sure actually kind of cool with that. Mostly she's just coasting at the moment. Also, I swore off apping at summer because I'm usually too busy and the character suffers, but Sabine survived!!!
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I'm starting to see her starting to think about doing things for reasons than her own protection, which is accidentally earlier than I thought it'd happen, but I want to kind of let her go and see.
What's coming up for you? No plans. Just seeing what she does.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Astrid, Kanan, Hera, I want to throw her at Norman and Tip and Theron more... anyone, she's fun.

[era_two_triangle]

What's your name? Peridot
How are you feeling right now? Packing! Leaving! These are moods!
What's going on for you at the present time? Yeah, Peridot's going expat, heading back to her reality to do what she FIGURES is gonna be big heroic things but what actually mostly amounts to tuning up a spaceship and then accidentally demolishing a car wash. What are ya gonna do, eh?
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Canon is kind of going out of its way to stagnage this girl at this point, so I'm mostly looking forward to poking at how her experiences on the island change how she approaches things back in Beach City.
What's coming up for you? Well, at some point she needs to have her heart broken by her beautiful blue barnmate, but that's not going to be for a while yet. Probably. I'm gonna see how long I can drag her canon out and hopefully the Crewniverse will take her off the bench in the meantime.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? She'll want to keep touch with her friends! Tip, Sidon, Jason, Rufus... And if anybody wants to see her before she does take off, speak now or forever hold your peace! (She'll probably visit. Seriously, her own canon is kinda canon lite from here on out.)

[gobrookeyourself]

What's your name? Brooke Davis
How are you feeling right now? Fine.
What's going on for you at the present time? Teaching on purpose. Let's see how that one goes!
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I need to get her more social. She should be out way more than she is, get some friends.
What's coming up for you? Nothing planned.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Mike. Adults. Seriously she needs friends.

[furnaceface]

What's your name? Jonothon Starsmore
How are you feeling right now? Fragmented. Working on it.
What's going on for you at the present time? Vacation in Panama with Hannibal! Mostly because the ol' inner psyche took one hell of a beating during and after the BDE. On the plus side, Emma finally helped put that Weapon X shadow of a consciousness in his mind to bed. On the other hand, he kind of blew a lot of his own mind apart before she got in there to help. Oops.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? With Jono it's always the traumas and the healings, the traumas and the healings. I am looking forward to see if losing that thing in his head that's been torturing him for like seven years makes any great amount of difference in how he approaches life (and certain aspects of it, cough cough).
What's coming up for you? No big plans, really. Jono's just been coasting for a while. Still slowly picking at putting him through his most recent GenX canon, but that can be done in a weekend and really has no lasting results beyond a canon ship with Jubilee that I have to wiggle around, so...
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Everybody. Eeeverybody. Give me more of the fighter types, both adults and students. He hasn't been a mentor figure to anyone in a while, and I need to get this boy out more. Besides, Jono needs people to box him around the ears basically constantly. Have you got someone who likes boxing people around the ears? Basically constantly?

[solo_sword]

What's your name? Jaina Solo
How are you feeling right now? Optimistic...?
What's going on for you at the present time? She's gotten the hang of the empressing thing by not being the one doing the work, acting as support for Jag while doing the Jedi thing. She's running a school and has a padawan and is teaching Kanan some things and has mobile twins, and she's probably doing too much of everything but it's a maybe a healthy kind of chaos.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Iiiiii kind of love getting to see Jaina teaching stuff? It's something we never got to thanks to the cancelation of Legends, but it's cool to know she can still do new things after all this time.
What's coming up for you? I really should just bite the bullet and start the Imperial Knights already. I have most of a plan for it, but it's scary and so I haven't done it yet.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Anyone when she's in town. Especially Star Wars people.

[myownface]

What's your name? Sparkle
How are you feeling right now? Weirdly pretty chill.
What's going on for you at the present time? What the hell, since when was Sparkle the most stable person in any one situation? He's settled in comfortably on Coruscant and would be totally happy with just living there and working on the island and commuting around basically anywhere and flirting with all the pretty boys. All of them. It won't last and he knows it, it never does, but right now he's pretty cool with this arrangement.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? With Sparkle, the big draw is always in how he reacts to adversity and how he's slowly picking up how to be a functional human being after a highly dysfunctional life, in the company of... mostly dysfunctional other humans. I intend to keep poking at that for a long while.
What's coming up for you? Back to the island full-time soon, probably! Beyond that, mostly just rolling with it. More flirting. Looking forward to Sanna being back around so that he can flail at that whole crew. A possible continuation of the tea wars... :D
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Eeeeverybody. Leto when Sanna gets back. Atton, always. Kaidan, Hernando, Sia, Kathy, Karina, Minako, Peter, Hannibal... I need to start chucking him at bars and such when he's back on the island again. He's a social butterfly who also happens to be a commuter at the moment.

[puppy_fair]

What's your name? Zack Fair
How are you feeling right now? I GOT TO MEET A HOUSE HIPPO it was weird.
What's going on for you at the present time? At right this moment, Zack is starting to get his head to come back around to the prospect of meeting people and making friends. Nibelheim hit him hard, he's spent a lot of time hiding. But now he's getting to know people around the island again, starting to kind of feel comfortable in his own skin. Kaidan mentioned starting up something like the reserves again and the idea is really speaking to him, there. He wants to be useful again. He wants to do good.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I mean, he's the puppy. Most things just kind of move organically, with Zack. Seeing how he deals with things as an ex-SOLDIER who can't ever go back home once things start actually coming to a head in his world is gonna be interesting, though.
What's coming up for you? He's teaching his first ever class this semester! He's excited! And terrified!
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? EVERYBODY. The puppy likes people and if you talk to him for like three minutes you're probably already his best friend and you didn't even realize.

[notconflicted]

What's your name? Marasiah Fel
How are you feeling right now? Resigned.
What's going on for you at the present time? She is very much not a fan of empressing, she did the worst thing any of my characters will probably ever do IG and lost one of the only people close to her she has left, but she's kind of just accepted that the way things are is just how they're going to be.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? She should really talk things out re: where she is right now, and I want her to. I'm not sure she'll actually get around to it.
What's coming up for you? She has the last of canon (the end of the Legends timeline) coming up next year, and I have some thoughts on where I'd like to see her go after that but nothing solid.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Her circle is a little limited, so anyone who wants to talk to her!

[raspberryturk]

What's your name? Reno
How are you feeling right now? Busy. Sore. Stable, yo.
What's going on for you at the present time? Reno just got a good smack upside the head, between a chat with Ino and with Ghanima in the BDE, and he's actually ready to knuckle down and change the damn world if it comes to that. For a guy who felt like he was spinning his wheels even when he was doing good out there, this is a big step for him.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? How to balance Turk messiness with atonement and getting shit done. It's always been complicated for the Turks. I'm gonna enjoy to keep chewing on it for a while.
What's coming up for you? Reno's goin' walkabout. Since we kinda, uh, broke Zack's reality a little, he's going wandering with Ino to scope out the situation there and see what can be done to get things on the right track. Or on a better track than just the right one.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Ghanima, always. Leto, too. Anyone who was around long enough to know Reno in any of his previous stays on the island, and anyone who wants to get to know him now. And the housemates, always. I love that house of trash bachelors. He might be wandering off in a month or so, but he's coming back to you idiots, I promise.

[chirpchirpchirp]

... Because with the two newbies, I can keep on going. God help me.

What's your name? Vette
How are you feeling right now? Ambitious!
What's going on for you at the present time? Well, there's this Twi'lek artifact she got word about that obviously she's going to go after. That thing... whatever it is... belongs on Ryloth, after all. So what if it's in a creepy crypt place guarded by violent wildlife and eerie statues and the place smells a bit like blood and dirty socks and-- what?
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I'm just excited to HAVE her. She's such a perky ball of sunshine until you start really digging in and VETTE. VETTE MY GIRL. MAKE FRIENDS BE HAPPY.
What's coming up for you? So, yeah, that wasn't a Twi'lek artifact after all and she's gonna find herself standing in a Portalocity terminal on Friday, oops.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? EVERYONE PLEASE BEFRIEND MY GIRL. Gimme that Star Wars, gimme those students, gimme those big protective bruisers who wanna just punch people in the face for her. Give me it allll.

[built_fjord_tough]

I swear to god I'm done now.

What's your name? Fjord
How are you feeling right now? Determined.
What's going on for you at the present time? Just making my way through the mountains toward Trostenwald in the company of a little blue tiefling. Nothing can possibly go wrong.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I mean, he doesn't even know himself what he's capable of yet, and there are still chunks of backstory that are kind of vague. I'm looking forward and settling in with a character with mind-boggling charisma and bottom-of-the-barrel wisdom to go with it. He's a good good boy, guys. I wanna pet the squishy.
What's coming up for you? Showing up on the island, teaching a class, probably camping out in the woods while he figures out that he's stuck and where the heck to live. Uh. Unless someone wants a big green roommate who occasionally wakes up vomiting seawater.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Give me eeeeveryoooone.

[battlewithstyle]

What's your name? Mitsutada Shokudaikiri
How are you feeling right now? Grateful to have a new home, though somewhat uneasy that I think of it as one.
What's going on for you at the present time? I am a soldier who is happy to be away from the war, which seems... heretical.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Mitsutada needs more friends I think? He needs help experiencing life beyond his small confines of explored existence.
What's coming up for you? 17 weeks of more Danshi Bro Classes, y'all!
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Fjord and his sword eating and... i mean, erm...

[firstofitskind]

What's your name? Liam Kincaid
How are you feeling right now? ♥ ♥ ♥
What's going on for you at the present time? Well, he and Verity just said the "love" word a few weeks ago. So despite living at the House 'o Bachelors, he is really, really not one at the present time.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Possibly explaining the part-alien thing to more people. Eventually. It's not the kind of thing he's used to just bringing up in conversation.
What's coming up for you? He's post-canon, so I have no plans for him in that respect. So mostly just navigating that relationship with Verity, now that they've both admitted this is a Serious Thing.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Everyone. Seriously. Please. He needs some friiiiends.

[sharp_man]

What's your name? Hannibal Lecter
How are you feeling right now? Good, but cautious
What's going on for you at the present time? Vacation in Panama with Jono. Working on rebuilding his mind, preferably in a way that helps me. A bit disappointed Emma cut out so much of his Weapon X self.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I think he needs to get his killer on a bit more. Man's getting too nice.
What's coming up for you? Possibly interesting times, as he learns more of how much Jono's predatory instinct is his own and how much was Weapon X Jono.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Everyone! I love seeing him as a mentor to all the (figurative or literal) Disney princesses, because the dissonance is great. And I love him talking with other adults, helping them be all they can be (in his mind). He needs to get out more!

[reicicled]

What's your name? Bobby Drake
How are you feeling right now? I dunno. Okay, I guess? I feel like I've settled in here somewhat.
What's going on for you at the present time? Not a whole lot.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Mostly... getting to know people who aren't X-Men. Maybe trying dating.
What's coming up for you? Eventually I'll run him through the back half of All-New X-Men. And then X-Men Blue, I suppose.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? ANYONE. People who knew the first Bobby. People who didn't know the first Bobby. People who know other Bobbys entirely.

[thatsweirdright]

What's your name? Jason Lee Scott
How are you feeling right now? Okay?
What's going on for you at the present time? One of my closest friends is leaving, but another one just came back, so. I dunno what that means.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? It's been over a year, he's pretty much freed himself from the constraints of his former jock life.
What's coming up for you? Hasbro's apparently working on developing a sequel, so god knows when that'll actually come to fruition. On a more immediate note, I may or may not do something silly for the 25th anniversary of PR which is coming up next week.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? ANYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

[bookbeltof_love]

What's your name? Nina
How are you feeling right now? Excited!!!!!!
What's going on for you at the present time? Like, oh my gosh, I'm finding out that Teresa wants to send me out to see if, like, there's anything we can do to protect Greenhill!!!!
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? The fact that Nina sounds and acts like an airhead but is absolutely not one, definitely.
What's coming up for you? So there's going to be this weird totally magical thing that I'll have to go through and it sounds kind of hinky to me but Mistress Jeane and Lady Teresa say it will be fine, so I'm sure it totally will be, even though Lady Teresa said I didn't have to go if I thought it still sounded dangerous?????? She's ridiculous that way. Of course I'll go!!!! She asked me!!!!!!
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Everyone!!!! Especially, like, cute, knightly boys!!!!! But everyone!!!!!! And Amaya, because I desperately want a conversation about how a blacksmith can sharpen a bookbelt. THEY CAN CANONLY DO IT. Blacksmiths can also sharpen umbrellas and fingernails so...

[in_sidon_we_trust]

What's your name? Sidon, *fist pump, big smile, fang sparkle!*, the Zora Prince!

How are you feeling right now? Elated! There's a new semester, and another exciting year here at Fandom Island, though my visit home this week has certainly sowed some seeds of discontent and worry for Hyrule. There is nothing that can be done for it now, though, so I am glad to be here to help me focus on the good things in life instead.

What's going on for you at the present time? Not a whole lot, honestly. I'm started to take a few steps toward the events of Sidon's canon, but there's still a looooong time before any of that really kicks off. So Sidon's kind of in a void of Not Much Going On Right Now, both in game and in canon. I thought of ex-patting him, but...even though he doesn't have anything big going on, he's so great for these little unexpected moments of amazingness in the little things, like leading stormtroopers down into a sewer or just getting excited over the most mundane things. He doesn't come out much, but when he does, it's usually pretty beautiful. A fitting fate for a true NPC.

Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I'd like for him to get a little more serious sometimes, especially about things with his sister and the fate of Hyrule. He brings it up pretty freely in his classes, but I'd like for him to open up with his friends more. He just feels bad, because he just wants them to be happy and have a good time and not bring them into his own darkness. *pats him*

What's coming up for you? Nothing much! Like I said, it's a long time before anything really happens back in Hyrule, so it's just Sidon being Sidon.

Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? You know Sidon. He ~looooooves~ to talk, to anyone and everyone, building up deeper relationships with his current friends and hopefully making new ones, too.

And I shall shamelessly admit that I might have a thought to go back to the blip of an idea I had ages ago that Sidon just might have a thing for Twi'leks...

[spectre_alenko]

What's your name? Kaidan Alenko
How are you feeling right now? .... Better if you don't ask that.
What's going on for you at the present time? ....Also a good idea not to ask that
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Everything? He's exploring this whole 'being a person not just a job title' thing. He's getting into a lot of trouble while trying.
What's coming up for you? Well, I understand I'm hiring two teenage girls in the shop, so that will be exciting..
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? I'M NEW I HAVEN'T MET HALF OF YOU PEOPLE YET pls more people.

[arboreal_priestess]

What's your name? Verity Alice Price
How are you feeling right now? Really, really good!
What's going on for you at the present time? Well, I just discovered a living male dragon hibernating under Baltimore, made significant discoveries about just what dragon princesses are, stopped a snake cult, and told my boyfriend I loved him (and got it returned!!! <3) so everything seems to be coming up Verity!
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Things are good for Verity right now. I didn't sign her up to teach this semester because I suddenly remembered I was going back to work after 4 months off and maaaaybe I shouldn't overextend myself, but she has plenty of canon to get through and cool stuff on the island, so I'm not really worried.
What's coming up for you? For the next few months, she's just hanging out, but I'm looking forward to getting through her next book around Christmas!
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Rosa Diaz. There is no reason these two shouldn't be freinds--they both have axes! Also, I really want Verity to have an MHA cookout/meet-n-greet sometime soon. I really need to get her socializing with the rest of the adults on the island, too.
