NAME: Elizabeth (or just E) CONTACT:detectivefiction | Discord at detectivefiction#1669 | PM to this journal. You're welcome to add me on Plurk, but I have to admit that I'm not mega-active there: I usually just pop in a few times a day, so pinging me is a good idea if there's something I should see. I plurk about all kinds of things (books, music, media, rl, rp, nail polish, unicorns, and less about fandom than a lot of people do) but try to keep it low-key. TIMEZONE: EST, but I'm a night owl.
CHARACTER: Jon Snow CANON: Game of Thrones (show, plus extra flavor from the books). GAME GOALS: It's hard to say at the start, but in general, Jon is experienced… but maybe not as experienced as he needs to be to go up against the Army of the Dead once and for all in canon (I mean: they have a zombie ice dragon now), so he'd be interested in picking up new tactics, strategies, and fighting styles. He's also going to be wondering a bit about what his network ID means, and worrying a lot about the safety of his favorite person in the world (he won't be alone in that). PLOT PLANS: Jon's horse and sword experience means he would be ok cavalry, but his lack of gun experience means he might not, so he's most likely going to be a farmer. I may honestly decide this on the basis of what other people do with similar characters. In the case of this particular plot… while he's not IC-ly aware of it, it seems pretty likely at this point that he'll wind up on the Iron Throne in canon if he doesn't get killed in the Great War. He's learned to be pretty sympathetic to people who didn't grow up with his advantages (a medieval noble's lifestyle and education), and he's even been enough of a "man of the people" to get stabbed for it (he died and was resurrected, it was This Whole Big Thing, ask him about his scars so he can get weird and refuse to answer!), but more interaction with or observation of average peasants under an exploitative economic system couldn't hurt. If he ever does reign, it's not going to be like the 18th century French monarchy. Also, speaking of that whole "got murdered by his own men for showing compassion to people they thought of as their enemies" thing, he's going to be so unhappy to not have chest armor. DESIRED CR: Well, we're all new, so almost anything is cool. Strategic stuff, discussing each other's worlds, missions, battles, training attempts, you name it. His TDM threads were golden, so let's continue that CR too, please! (If I owe you a tag, it's because I've had a bad cold for a bit here.) The only stuff I typically opt out of is stuff that seems OOC, or not-fun in a long-term way. ANYTHING ELSE? I wrote up a brief character explanation for your average OOC intro, and it turns out that it doesn't fit into this format, so I think I'm going to go stick that in his permissions!
