Hello! I'm Sheena and I'm new here, but it turns out I know some of you from Olden Days of Yore and I was kind of ridiculously excited to discover that. Back in the days of Rowan I went by Tam and played a chatterbox dragon and a singing mad scientist, if that jogs your memory. Anywho, I'm a grad student. I like tea and folk music and sloths. I sometimes play characters from things that don't really even have fandoms. I'm bringing in Sparrow, from a novel called Bone Dance by Emma Bull. Emma Bull is awesome and you should read it and you should also read War for the Oaks and Territory. My plurk is

squeakygeeky.

Sparrow's canon is kind of hard to explain because the setting is post-apocalyptic earth and involves psychic super-soldiers but also lots of Voodoo somehow? Also, monopolies are bad, power to the people. Like, literally. The people need more electricity.

Sparrow is also hard to explain. The spirits put a soul into an empty shell body that had been created for the psychic super-soldiers, which is how Sparrow happened. As a result, Sparrow is mostly human but among other things lacks a gender (or biological sex). Because reasons, men perceive Sparrow as male and women perceive Sparrow as female and they don't usually notice anything is up until they compare notes. I use ze/hir pronouns for Sparrow, but just keep in mind that's not what Sparrow ICly does at this point.

The Nysgods were like, "Uhh...." and Sparrow was like, "Eeep," and now Sparrow gets a private room in the Administrative Tower. I am totally on board with characters noticing that and finding it odd, and also on characters talking behind Sparrow's back and having wacky misunderstandings. Sparrow loves movies and electronics and would like to try coffee someday. Hir main defensive weapon is not being noticed. Hir main offensive weapons are sarcasm and, in one instance, a tea kettle.

I'm hoping to be able to bring Sparrow in tomorrow night.

ETA: Uh, I accidentally originally only put my old nick and not my current one and now my entry is tagged wrong, can someone fix that?

Hey there! I'm Bry, and I'm rather a fan of characters from not very well known fandoms either. I'm guessing they might be more known than yours though. Joan Campbell from Covert Affairs and Mary Shannon from In Plain Sight.

As for Sparrow's lodging...

Joan would totally notice! Which could certainly be fun even though she isn't quite in her right mind right now.

Obscurity FTW (I'm not familiar with either of those characters). I am all in favor of odd things being noticed at some point down the line.

I'd be more stunned if you did. :)

Hello there! Welcome to the game! I'm Momo, and I play Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter, and this girl here, Lydia Martin from Teen Wolf (and you are officially the first person I get to greet like that, congratulations~)!

Gotta say, that sounds like a pretty rad canon, and Sparrow sounds particularly interesting. So I'm going to add you on plurk. I look forward to playing with you!

Ooh, I've really gotten into Teen Wolf lately and Lydia is one of my favorites (Stiles is my most favorite ever, tho).

Oooh, brilliant. She's a new muse for me, but I thought I'd toss her in here. Stiles is totally the best, though. I love him.

Hi Tam!

I'm Ryah and I play Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars and Lady Fire from The Graceling Series (which has a very small fandom so I hear ya about loving the obscure works.) Fire has a permissions meme HERE, because she's a bit unique.

Both of mine would def not gossip about Sparrow should they learn more about hir. Anakin is from a galaxy with millions of different sentient species, so strict gender binaries are not the norm. And Fire is extremely respectful.

Oh, and Anakin loves electronics. And Fire doesn't know what movies or electronics are but would probably be very fascinated by them.

I'm sure we can plot!

My plurk is:

I'm looking at Fire's permissions thing now and I will definitely have to fill that out because Sparrow's mind is--yeah. Hmm. But I'll talk about that in a comment there.

I look forward to plotting.

(Also, I put my old name but forgot to put my current name so yeah I'm Sheena oops.)

OH sorry! Okay, I'll erase 'Tam' from my brain.

I have a few questions about Sparrow's brain stuff - I'll comment to your response on the Permissions Meme so I have it all right there in case I ever need to reference it.

I actually thought of a few more things anyway. Trying to figure out cross-canon power stuff is often complicated.

Hi, Tam! I'm Megan and I play Nurse Christine Chapel from Star Trek AOS, Clara Oswald from Doctor Who, and Captain Hook and Ruby Lucas from Once Upon a Time. Welcome to the game!

That's a great bunch of characters and I'm excited to be here.

Also I posted way too late last night and forgot to put my current name, so I'm Sheena, actually.

Noted!

Hi Sheena! I'm Arma and I play Angel from Angel the Series and a previous game heavy Devi D from JTHM/IFS.

Sparrow is a really interesting character, and I'm looking forwards to playing with hir and you!

Feel free to add me on Plurk at

dajensa. Welcome to Throne of Shadows~

I can't wait to start playing :D

Well hello there :)

Hello! I'm Rosa and I play Maria here, a canon OC for MCU (basically, Tony Stark's mother from before she meets Stark daddy). She's from 1959 and therefore has old-fashioned values and perspectives of things, so I apologize beforehand. ~~Sparrow will seem a very strange woman to her.~~ But she's also currently mute due to in-game trauma so!

My plurk is

rosalynian if you're interested. Welcome to the game!

Hmm, that could be interesting.

I will friend you on plurk then.

Hi Sheena! Welcome to the game! I'm Sam and I play Steve Rogers. Sorry this is so late, but I'm glad you're here.

Hello! I'm glad to be here!
