i've been stuck in this closet for over an hour, just to facilitate you having sex.

Greetings gentle viewers. Some of you know me, most of you don’t, but my name is Emily, and I am fresh meat to this lovely, lovely comm, and I am very excited to be joining you all. I have heard nothing but awesome things, and I can’t wait to jump in. I am bringing you this guy:



Yes, ladies and gentleman, I bring you Alec McDowell.

For those of you who don’t know who Alec is, he is a young, very intelligent, genetically engineered cat boy who does not know when to shut up. He was created as part of a program to build super soldiers, so think Captain America, but on embryos and using animal DNA. He’s really a nice guy, once you can get past the sarcasm, incessant commentary on your life choices, and a very real need to stick his nose into everything. He also is very handy to have on your side, because he kicks all kind of ass.

He’s coming in from the very beginning of 221: Freak Nation, after he is shot by the sector police, and his good buddy pulls a gun on him, followed by a four month jaunt in a mystical fae wood where he got pushed around like a transgenic chess piece. This also means that he might know some of you, despite the fact that you’re not from his canon, which really is all kinds of awkward when you think about it. He has a CR chart written up for the people that those would entail, and if your character happens to be on it and would be uncomfortable with having Alec recognize them, just drop me a note. I’m totally cool with having him play dumb—he does it a lot of the time anyway.

The only people who can’t get out of this are Max and Peter. In fact, he’s pretty much going to forcibly attach himself to Peter’s leg, like that six year-old that’s too shy to talk to his parent’s friends. But that’s because his emotional maturity is actually that of a six year-old, so it works out. Plus he’s kind of adorable:



Who can resist that face?

As for OOC contact, you can reach me at the following:

I’m also available via PM to Alec’s journal. I’m always open for plotting, goofy shenanigans, angst and horrors, whatever the case may be. YOU WANNA DO IT, I WILL PROBABLY SAY YES because I’m easy like that. Anyway, he will be intro’d very soon, either tonight or tomorrow. IT’S VERY NICE TO MEET YOU ALL. =D

For me it was the fact that Alec had a lot more potential character growth? He was just learning about the concept of ~family and ~friendship, whereas that was already the centre of Dean's entire world.


... DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

[im_apimp]

I think so too. I mean, I've been playing Dean as well for a very long time, and still enjoy it, but Alec is a much lighter presence, and he's able to branch out a lot more.

[checkthetapes]

Yeah, that definitely makes sense. With Dean there's a certain amount of baggage that comes along, too, whereas Alec is more like 'YEAH BROS I'M A GENETICALLY ENGINEERED SUPERSOLDIER. COME AT ME. BRING BEER.'


(yea)


Now we just need a Ben. For added hideous.

[im_apimp]

OMG Alec has never had to deal with a Ben, ever, and right now, the only reaction I can think of is that he will kick the holy crap out of him.

[checkthetapes]

Oh my god yes. I need this in my life like oxygen.

[im_apimp]

SO DO I. Hopefully one will show up one day.

[checkthetapes]

And on that note, I'm gonna go watch sum Dark Angel. :|a...
