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!

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.

For me I genuinely can't remember which came first, because my parents introduced me to both very early in my life.

I had to introduce my parents to most of the geeky things in my life so it took a little longer. <3

lol derp account switch

In my case, my mother actually collected Marion Zimmer Bradley, Mercedes Lackey, and Anne McCaffery novels. We had literally two entire bookcases full of nothing but that.

I was pretty much doomed to nerddom.

Wow. I guess I'm lucky to have found it, myself, though my 7th grade social studies teacher *gave* me The Mists of Avalon and now I wonder how she got away with stuff like that. I did meet Anne McCaffery once.
