Slight slowatus

Hey guys, just a heads up that I'll be slow with tagging tomorrow through Sunday. My dad and I are heading to Grand Forks for the weekend. I'll be sharing the laptop with my dad while we're there, so thus the slower posting. I'll have my phone, but I do so hate writing tags from my phone.

This affects H.G. Wells ([personal profile] feellikeibelong) and Charlotte Howard ([personal profile] inlovewiththedarkness). I'll be back Sunday night at full strength, assuming I survive one of the most boring car rides ever.

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 [plurk.com profile] 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?

ceci n'est pas un intro

Hey there, everyone! Friendly neighbourhood Momo here, swinging by to bring you her second character, Lydia Martin of Teen Wolf (TV series, not Michael J Fox film) fame! Sort of fame. She's getting there.

Also, she's full of spoilers if you haven't seen season three, so I'm sorry for that in advance. Her canon point is right after the end of 3a. Fun with giant tree stumps!

Here thar be spoilers. )

So that's that! I'm on plurk over at [plurk.com profile] comatosebutterfly, if you don't have me yet, and I'm always up for plotting. It's a pleasure to have her in game!
