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!

Heheh, awesome. Players here are really good about not making their characters be jerks about the whole thing. (Flynn gets mistaken for Jeff Bridges a lot.)

See, I think that sort of thing is hilarious. I'll await someone referencing The Muppet Show...

best episode of the Muppet Show

ALSO HI. EEEEEEEE I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE. <3 This is Buttercup by the way. In addition to Jack, hows_the_knee and theniputitback are also me. So you should tag them.:D

can Jack ask Luke if he's a eunuch sometime

It was pretty damn awesome. I still am not over how much of a dork Hamill was. ALSO we have a Zuko, right? Not that you'd *recognize* his dad's voice in Luke...

ANYWAY. Okay I'll tag them. FINE, GOD. Uh... sure, of course, but why would he?

[myeffectsplease.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we have a Zuko I think? I don't know the canon, so I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure we have one that apped recently.

:D Jack calls Orlando Bloom's Will Turner a eunuch several times in the movies, and Luke has a similar high voice. Though it may have gotten lower by ESB, I'm not sure...

Hamill is the voice of Zuko's dad, and he's an asshole. However, as with other Mark Hamill voice work, he's pretty much unrecognizable.

Ahaha well, for the sake of lulz you let it be however high you need it to.
