Meme: How did you pick your characters?
Was a meme requested? No. Did I want a meme? Yes. So I picked through the list of meme and found this one, which apparently hasn't been done since 2012.
Why did you pick the characters you play?
Be it because they're just your favorite, or you thought they'd be a challenge, or someone dared you or something, go ahead and tell us what made you want to bring them to the game.

Duke. Um. Yeah, honestly, I watched Haven, got obsessed with this pirate dude, went "hahaha, but yeah, we've got a whole port with no boats in it!" and my replacement for Eliot Spencer wasn't sticking as well as I'd hoped. So I figured, sure, let's play a charismatic morally-grey-coded character who deep down is just deeply traumatized and lonely and wants to be loved! I love those characters!
And he stuck like nobody's business.
Remy. I mentioned that I am currently between hyperfixations. I've been flailing around wildly looking for a new one (who even am I if I am not obsessing over a character and making them suffer in scenarios when I go to bed at night???) and ended up deciding to go back to a very old one instead. And thus spent much of last year catching up on thirty years of X-Men canon featuring this boy. I've toyed with the idea of apping him repeatedly over the years, but always chickened out (somewhere on an old external hard drive is my attempt to describe X-Men comics canon that descended immediately into a rant about how weird Charles Xavier is). Marvel 616 canon is TOO BIG, how could I POSSIBLY --
Well. Then I realized that after All New X-Factor Remy is briefly a) single and b) at loose ends. And even better, c) is in the DC area. I had a point to pull from. I was fresh off a massive read of the canon. He's my very first blorbo.
The stars aligned. The app went smoothly with minimal rants. (*cough cough*NEW SON WTF*cough*) I even managed a writing sample without too much difficulty. And now, he's here. And I love him.
And I promise to only replace "th"s with "d"s for special events. ;D
eta OH ALSO X-MEN '97 EPISODE FIVE HAPPENED. THAT WAS ALSO PART OF IT ALL.
