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!

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.

[hisoldgirl]

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.

[theuserabides]

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.)

[a_perfect_end]

Well hello~ *slithers on.*

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

[survivethesiren]

Aww, Luke baby. Don't you want a pretty Program fiddling with your lightsaber?

[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]

Hi Mindy! Hi, giant robot!

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Is it? ANYWAY HI!

[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.

[double_discs]

Clearly not. Oh, wait I mean--HELLO. WELCOME TO SING. HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY.

[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.

[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!

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

I hope so, too! But yeah, original things are awesome things.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

You... told me to get out.

You're so confusing.

[neverjoinyou.livejournal.com]

Hiiiiiiii!

[survivethesiren]

Oh I just need a directive. :3
