New Guy!

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! My name's Kris. You may know me elsewhere as that other fair-haired boy of science fiction visual media, James T. Kirk (Shatner-flavored), but I'm here to be contrary and prove you can like both.

I'm new to the game, and new to Luke, so any hand-holding is appreciated. Especially since I counted once and realized I know 6% of the characters here. Luke's application is here if you want to know where I'm coming from and I should say that:

1) I'm bringing him from the end of Empire Strikes Back, so he knows Vader's his daddy and doesn't know Leia's his sis; and,

2) I'm really only going by original trilogy canon. I know there's a lot of EU stuff and I'm sure it's awesome. I'm sorry if playing without it is a no-no, but I grew up on the trilogy and it's what I'm interested in. I'm totally open to hearing about stuff you think is interesting or relevant that I get wrong, but I do want to warn that whatever headcanon I come up with may or may not jive with other media.

Anyway! I'm super excited to play with you all and I'll intro this guy as soon as I figure out what the heck is going on. My aim is originalfine but I'm usually only on if someone pokes me and tells me to be; it's easier to reach me by PM or, ideally I guess, plurk. I'm really laid back when it comes to RP, so please let me know if I can answer any questions or help out or want to plot. I'm pretty equal-opportunity as far as serious and crack go, so I should be able to find my niche.

Thanks for having me!

ETA: I was asked about 4th-walling/canon puncture. I'm totally okay with this--I have no idea how he'll react but I always prefer to roll with the punches and I adore meta, so sure. If your character would recognize Luke, you're free to acknowledge such!

What?

[theuserabides]

Luuuuuuuuuuuke! ♥

I'm Carolyn and I play Kevin Flynn here and movie-verse Major Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell. Welcome aboard!

One question, though. How do you feel about 4th-walling/canon puncture? There are a lot of characters who are going to recognize Luke, but they can just magically not if you don't want to go down that road.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Hi Carolyn! Nice to met you. Thanks!

Oh, I'll put something up there. I am totally fine with 4th-walling, etc. Don't know yet how he'll react, but I'm usually here for the meta.

[survivethesiren]

OMG GET OUT IDK YOU.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Get used to it, woman.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Hi Teal! I don't know any of those guys but that's okay. And me too--was totally a Star Wars (and Luke) fan before my Trek days began.

[a_perfect_end]

Well hello~ *slithers on.*

I'd wish you aefvadh, but that's crossing one stream too many, I think.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

bb you know I like it when you talk dirty.

I mean.

You people need to start telling me who you are.

[recompiling]

Luuuuuuuuuke :D

Hi, I'm Jayde and I play this guy (Anon from Tron: Evolution) and the Rookie from Halo: ODST.

Nice to meet you!
Also EU is insane and I think it's perfectly fine to go without it as far as I'm concerned.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Hullo Jayde! It's nice to meet you. One day I'll know who those people are and it will be because of you.

And thanks!

[selfkismesis.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the game!! I'm Linda, and I play Karkat Vantas from Homestuck and Rosalyn from Okage: Shadow King. Nice to meet you, and can't wait to play with you!!

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Hi Linda! It's nice to meet you, and I look forward to the same! Thank you!

[fuckinghubble]

Oh my god Luke hkjfdghdf!

Y-yeah, I'm so glad you mentioned the 4th-walling bit, because all I play is Raimi Matthews here, but seeing as he's made Star Wars references in canon... it'd be kind of impossible for him NOT to know who the hell Luke is. I have no idea how he's even going to react, either, but except some rabid fanboying. Or something. Aaaahhh addendum: You're my favorite person ever.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

:D

Oh that's great, Luke will be so confused but I'm totally okay with that. I don't know Raimi Matthews I don't think but I look forward to meeting him.

And, um, thanks! I hope to continue to please.

Original trilogy: The win.

Sup, Kris! Name's Alex.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so! Hi Alex!

[aderpable.livejournal.com]

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE /everyone in this post

Oh man, original trilogy > EU, mostly because the EU is CRAAAAY-cray, and I can't even wrap my brain around it. It's great to have you here! I'm Sid, welcome to Sing. ♥

I play Connor Temple (from Primeval), Jalen (from Tron: Evolution sorta) and Ed Dillinger Jr. (from Tron: Legacy). Fair warning: Connor is going to scream and fanboy over Luke here, seeing as Star Wars is one of his most favoritest things ever. :>

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Hi Sid! Thank you. I'm glad you're happy--I hope I do him justice! I just wanted to put that disclaimer in, because to be honest I've no connection with any part of the fandom so I don't know what I'm stepping into, potentially.

I am all for the fanboying. Luke, maybe not so much. ;)

[smellslikejail.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEE please pretend I am not hideously late to this intro, because EEEEEEEEEE LUKE SKYWALKER

RIGHT, now that we've got that out of the way... xD

Hey, I'm Siri, and I play Sam Flynn from Tron: Legacy, Gibson from Tron: Evolution, and Stephen Hart from Primeval! Two of them will recognize him, but Sam's not around right now (yay hiatus?) and Stephen's polite enough not to say anything because he's not Connor, so I don't think you have any fourth-walling to worry about from me--but oh my god I'm so excited to see him here you don't even know. (Meanwhile, Gibson is a computer program and what is fiction.)

Anyway, welcome to Sing! <3

And dude, I don't think there's gonna be much issue with you just playing from the original trilogy. The EU is pretty much insane--even the Zahn books. |D

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

There is no late, in my book. Hi! Thank you for the welcome!

I actually don't know your characters but they're free to say to Luke what they will. I look forward to meeting them!

I didn't think so, but best to be up-front. I've read the Zahn books, but yeah.

KRIIIISSSSSS

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

Finally. I can molest your character(s) again...not that...being out of a game really...stopped me or anything.

/cough

SO, ANYWHO. Welcome to Sing, if you have questions jab me over Gmail or whatever. Everyone is super chill and backtagging is okay forever.

I'mma be assaulting you with these people from now on:

Commander Shepard (Renegade), Mass Effect: cmdr_renegade
Kaylee, Firefly: cupcake_dress
Dug, UP: dug_the_dog
Cindy "Big Sister" Meltzer, Bioshock2: thiswaydaddy
Hardison, Leverage: seems_legit
GLaDOS, Portal: glad_2_see_u

:D


Hardison will probably sparkle-eyes at Luke for a long time....Wait, who am I kidding? Probably? Ffff. He will definitely sparkle-eyes at Luke.

Jab me if you want to thread. Or if you would rather not thread with some of my people because you do not know them.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Honey, if I didn't thread with characters I don't know, I'd be s.o.l. in all of RP-dom. I have no problem at all not knowing what's going on (though I do admit I am intimidated when I don't know *anything* and *anyone* and therefore don't have a background in what I'm looking at but like I said, it doesn't actually matter). I am always open for molestation!

I... er.

Anyway I plan to jab you.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

OMG LUKE ♥ Welcome to the game!

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Once again, it's a damn good thing Hamill's Ozai sounds nothing like Luke...

[glorystars.livejournal.com]

OH GOD I'M LATE but omg LUKE SKYWALKER

Hii I'm Fufu and I play Starfire from Teen Titans, and I am a gigantic Star Wars nerd who could watch the original trilogy until the end of time ;u; ♥ It is lovely to meet you!

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

I will not turn down any greeting. Hi! I hope Luke is fun for you, and thanks!
