A wild Gundam Pilot appears.

[stillshinigami]

It uses introduction.

Hey guys. So here enters Duo Maxwell of the AU variety. But before I get into that...

Hi, I'm Imp. Impious Imp. You can reach me at AIM: Impiouspilot and at Plurk: Impiousimp (God help me I actually learn the syntax for that.)

Gundam Wing is decently well known to most people so I won't go into much detail, and his app and HMD is on his journal.

Ahem.

The AU is basically where instead of uni-bang No-Name taking the deceased Trowa Barton's name and Gundam, the man survives to wreak havoc on the Earth and colonies. Operation Meteor is initiated at around episode nine or ten and a colony is dropped on the Earth. Pretty much a turn for the worst. War takes up close to four years to finish and Duo here is fresh off of it.

You're also probably wondering what happened to his hair. Long story. Tell ya later.

Have at him, Hoss.

Oh. PS. Anyone have previous CR with a Duo at all? Curious.

[fistbumptoverify]

huh. So a cross between Wing and X, then? Sounds neat.

[stillshinigami]

A cross between X, Zeta gundam (I think) and another series from UC, yeah.

I haven't watched much of X or Zeta although my friend tells me colony drops is a thing that happens now and again in the UC.

Buuuuuut... Yep! Pretty much.

[fistbumptoverify]

Well, X isn't exactly UC, it's basically a "WHAT IF UC WENT HORRIBLY, TERRIBLY WRONG?"

Essentially, during the One Year War, the Zeon expies don't stop the colony drops, and the Federation expies don't stop blowing colonies up. This results in essentially post-apocalyptic Gundam. Shit is cash, and you should go watch it. My favorite Gundam series yet.

[stillshinigami]

I'll give it a shot if I can find episodes, sure.

That's a pretty interesting way to do a canon AU though.

I'd say the same thing pretty much happens to the Earth in this AU, pretty much. It's only been three years so things are pretty much a crap shoot down on the Earth.

So who's your gal?

[personalbubble]

Greetings, Imp!

I am Alex, player of Violet Parr (this account here) and Nightwing (acrobatical).

NEGL, not seeing the braid in his icons is one huge mindfuck to me.

[stillshinigami]

I had to look up what NEGL meant.

I...I apologize for nothing. I'll divulge details if you like.

As for Violet and Dick? Ohmanohmanohman bring em on.

I've been wanting to RP with some guys from Incredibles forever.

[acrobatical]

Then I will gladly smash Violet at him when I am logged back into her account! 8D There's not enough Incredibles love on the Internet.

NEGL, I have to look up a lot of acronyms myself, whoooops.

Quick query! What's your stance on backtagging?

[stillshinigami]

I'm fine with back tagging.

Please. I want both of them. *A*... Whenever you have the time. Or whenever Dick next posts. Whenever we can.

[acrobatical]

Excellent! My tagging speed fluctuates a fair bit, but I backtag for months if given the chance (seriously, I just tagged a thread from March).

[stillshinigami]

Yowza.

Uuuh. Okay I'll just say this now that I can get a little ADD on some threads but I HATE to drop. So if I take more than a few days, kick me.

[personalbubble]

No worries. Tuesday - Friday, I have to priority tag because WHAT AM TIME, so sometimes there's a few day lull in my tagging. Thank god for Gmail.

That reignsdown request on Plurk is from me, btw.

[stillshinigami]

I'm free on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday usually. And next weekend I'm off.

[punliners]

GW is totally a childhood fav of mine, and your AU sounds super intriguing!

(Also hi, I am Roy. :3 nice to meet you!)

Welcome to Sing. If there's anything I can do at all to make you feel at home feel free to drop me a line! o/

[stillshinigami]

Batman Beyond is part of my childhood as well.

Likewise, a pleasure.

Hey, yeah. I'll do that. I'm looking forward to the CR. Also the fact that Terry has a Puppy is intriguing my muse.

[punliners]

... oh god they were airing about the same time weren't they. CLEARLY THIS MEANS BROSHIPS SHOULD HAPPEN. \o/

He misses having a Batdog, okay. IT'S JUST ONE OF THEM THINGS.

[stillshinigami]

I really want to get a ...Uh. Deathdog?

The puns don't really work so well over hither.

Broships need to happen, man. Totes.

Besides? I've been wanting to get Duo into being a tech monkey for some superhero for a while. Haven't yet had the chance.

[punliners]

Not quite as intimidating as a Deathscythe, gotta say. Unless you get one like this... :|a...


Haha that is totally a possibility. Terry has the Batmobile and everything. :D

[stillshinigami]

Zomg sweet. I want it. I was thinkin' something more like this though.

This is gonna be awesome. Man, I shoulda apped back in January.

[punliners]

oh my god that is the cutest fluffy thing I want ten omg.

sob. BUT HEY, NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT amirite?

...

OH YEAH I play a couple other characters too. Just for the record. checkthetapes and emasculates. Pietro from Ultimate Marvel and Aisha from the Losers (comic) respectively. :3

[stillshinigami]

IKR?

Given that my setting ended up being five pages and my app ended up being 11 pages (How did that happen I don't even)... And I'm awful at writing settings. Really.

So I'm glad I put it off and kinda not so glad. But you're right. No time like the present.

Sweet. All good muses. If I get the nerve I might app a few more myself.

[punliners]

My apps are also ridiculously long, I sympathize completely. Settings aren't so bad once you've done it a few times though, I promise! I've been in Sing a year and a half, and apped probably about eight characters all told and it gets easier every time. :3

Who else might you consider, curiously?

[stillshinigami]

Right now I have Brainiac 5 from the LOSH animated, Bardock from Dragon Ball Z and Ares from lions tigers and Bears as ...

Well I wouldn't call them active. Not as active as Duo since Brainy's stuck in a reaally slow game.

[stillshinigami]

Oh, and Gates from Legion of Superheros once I learn sommore marxist jargon.

[punliners]

Iyaaa someone playing a Brainiac! \o/

... I've never seen DBZ though, or even heard of the other two though.

...

Clearly I need to get out more.

[stillshinigami]

You never saw DBZ? It's basically Justice League in Japan with lots of screaming. People screaming like they're constipated.

But that's a japanese thing.

Goku is Superman with golden hair.

Like this.

[demon_brat]

Hi, I'm Kiki, and one of the few people who is (for now, I shall peruse wiki) ignorant about GW. (Not just GW. I have huge gaps in my pop culture knowledge.) THAT SAID, welcome aboard!

I play this brat here, as well as Sean Cassidy of XMFC flavor (these_fish) and Shaun Mason of the freshly completed Newsflesh Trilogy (needs_answers). It has zombies. >.>

[stillshinigami]

I'm only familiar with Damian, but I'm pretty flexible as far as interaction goes.

I'm looking forward to interacting with all of the bat family, really.

So what's XMFC and newsflesh?

[demon_brat]

And the bat family will interact with you! Damian's all over... the place. Even if mostly stalking.

XMFC = X-Men: First Class, the movie which came last year and confused things enough that trying to reconcile it with comic continuity is... awkward at best. But it has adorable! And mutants. Sean is the redhead guy who has sonic screams. He can fly with them!

And the Newsflesh books are about a bunch of early-twenties kids who are online journalists in a world that has had zombies for nearly thirty years. Zombies happened because two viruses (one dormant one that was design to cure cancer and one very very viral one, airborne, designed to cure the common cold) mixed up and mutated. So they are basically reality where Shaun comes from. Shaun is also more than a little crazy, since the person he's very strongly codependent on (Georgia, or George) was infected with the live mixed virus (Kellis-Amberlee, or KA) and he had to shoot her. And then she was on the station for a while, but now she's gone back home (to being dead) and sanity, what am that? He's a good shooter, and a gift for poking at very dangerous things and coming out alive and telling the tale with aplomb. Which was his job.
Which, shockingly, tends to bear the name of 'Irwin'. After Steve Irwin. Makes sense, no?

[stillshinigami]

Ah hah!

Well-- Goddamnit hollywood scientists! Stop making the apocalypse happen.

The guy in Planet of the apes did the same thing. He is like, "Duuur, cure Alzheimer's with fancy viral therapy, kill the world."

And then there's I am Legend, same damn thing. Well that's a pretty cool concept either way.

I should have known what that acronym meant, so yes. I know who he is.

[demon_brat]

Pretty much. Except it wasn't the fault of the scientists, per se, people broke into the lab of the guy who was creating the cold treatment virus and released the bugger before it was fully tested. Ahem. The Newsflesh books are fascinating, and the zombies are really just the backdrop, not the focus.

And hah, thought so, but decided to elaborate anyway ;)

Anyway. Actual tagging. *ponders*

[stillshinigami]

Still. Those hollywood scientists need to watch more movies. I'm just saying.

I invite you for everything, sir. But as for me I'm going to bed. Catch ya in the morning.

[demon_brat]

Ma'am! I only play sirs. I am also in a timezone of weird (GMT+2) and I bid you good night!

[stillshinigami]

Same here actually.

I'm GMT -6 so Central CST America.

[fuzzyelf]

HELLO!

I'm Zak I play Nightcralwer, Superboy and Sokka, we spoke over AIM. Welcome to Sing!

I'll have Sokka prod at the entry.

[stillshinigami]

Brofist?

And oh, yeah? Superboy? Y'don't say. And nightcrawler.

Man I really gotta go look at that list again.

So which superboy we talkin' about?

[fuzzyelf]

Brofist!

All my favourites.

DC comics, Teen Titans pre-New 52 :)

[stillshinigami]

Sounds like fun. New friends everywhere.
