New Guy!
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!

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.
no subject
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.

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.

And thanks!

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.
no subject
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.

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. :>
no subject
I am all for the fanboying. Luke, maybe not so much. ;)
no subject
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
no subject
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

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:
Kaylee, Firefly:
Dug, UP:
Cindy "Big Sister" Meltzer, Bioshock2:
Hardison, Leverage:
GLaDOS, Portal:
: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.
no subject
I... er.
Anyway I plan to jab you.
