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!

But, yeah, have fun, and still clear of the red and goldenrod circuited programs and you'll be good. Well, the red-circuit might be useful at first (he likes intros for some reason) but uh... Oh, you know what? He won't hurt anybody, who am I kidding? /SIGH
Yeah, the red-circuit would be Rinzler here. I'm Aisu because I see you're wondering at all us lame people who don't give out names. /waves

I'm not sure Luke will know any better, which is okay because I have no idea what's going on either.
And hi Aisu! The person I mentioned that to was someone I already know, so I was teasing.

At least you're both in the same book. (But basically put the warm colored circuits are bad guys and the cool colored circuits are good guys. TRON is color coded. WHEE.)
Niice. I stalk her, what can I say?
My master~BUT I FIGURED IT WAS RELEVANT ANYWAY. *cough*no subject
I need to see Tron still, but alas the one time I tried the disc wasn't in the case. One day!
no subject
BLASPHEMY. What evil-doer took the disc out of the case and didn't put it back!? That's just plain rude. >|
no subject
Well, it is complicated--I took it home from work, which is a library, and someone doing the labels and stuff left it out.
no subject
Bah. Either way it sucks so much. And is evil. :\
