I'm still torn between characters. Who do you guys most want?

Well, I guess it depends on if you want to play someone you like versus someone who'll really get the plot going?

For the latter, I suggest Black, Norrell, or Vinculus (our interactions would be EPIC). I'd be extremely interested in seeing a Norrell, just to see a person playing a character who's generally not entirely liked. XD

BUT I think it would be pretty damn interesting to see Childermass's BFF Lascelles come back from Fairy all, "Homg you guys I was a champion for a while it sucked ass what are we doing"

See! That is exactly why I can't choose. Everyone is a badass motherfucker.

I have discovered what I like about all of these characters: they all have people to torment (which is clearly the most necessary part of a good rp experience).

Black is a badass, but I imagine he'd be rather boring to play and I'd get tired of thinking of new ways to say things in the most polite way possible (mainly as it's entirely the opposite of my nature). And, yes, my first thought WAS Sirius. It was a v. sad moment in my life. His interactions/ eventual interaction with the Gentleman would be v. epic, though. I imagine one of my focuses with him would be the Mrs. Brandy thing. And while I find it (omfg totally adorable) I imagine it's no fun for anyone when someone's main choice is the romantic interest.

I briefly considered Drawlight, too, but like you said, he's not really someone who will keep the plot going. Same with Lascelles, although he's pretty fucking badass. He's bound to start some shit one way or another. And damn you for tempting me with the Childermass interactions. And that quote? Is kind of the best thing ever. He does seem like a rather lot of fun to play though. I'm a sucker for the snide, conniving, gentlemanly sort.

You know, I bet he'd come back and order hookers. He'd be a bigger pimp than Jonathan why-Arabella-even-the-boys-like-me! Strange. ...I really don't even know where that came from. MOVING ON.

Norrell... well, he's brilliant. He gets to bother everyone. I can already imagine the journal entries. LONG, EPIC COMPLAINTS between fanboying his IDKBFFJonathan where-did-you-go-I-was-going-to-ramble-for-hours Strange.

And Vinculus... well, he's fucking Vinculus. I like to imagine him living like a king all pampered and shit. "YOU MAY READ ME AFTER MY FOUR O'CLOCK MASSAGE~ Childermass? We're good friends, right? Do you mind... yes, my feet. Massage them. They're starting to ache. You don't want to? Well, I'm not terribly in the mood to be read today~" ...perhaps it's better if I don't play him.

akdjdfklj and now I'm more indecisive. So much fail, so little time.

Norrell of course would be amazing, but I'll also add Stephen to that. After all, there is no doubt going to be a lot of plottish things for him (and fairy wrangling). Emma Pole would be rad too, hm.

Happily the characters are all diverse enough that any would be good, methinks.

For some reason I read that as fairy strangling and went "bit more up Lascelle's alley there, eh?" And then I saw Black on a gigantic pig with a lasso going after fairies and... well, there's really no excuse I can offer for that mental image.

I think I'm between Lascelles and Norrell at this point.

Pb.

Gentleman with Thistle-down Hair.

:| Gives me them.

For a recap: He's Blonde & Blue, Tall, Slim, Handsome. I kinda want lesser-known pbs, but at this point I'll consider anything. Thanks!

I have to back [info]namingofthings's suggestion, man.

Lookit his hair! AND HIS UNAMUSED EXPRESSION.

But! If you are desperate, I have used all of my artistic know how to come up with the most brilliant photoshop evah.



He is perfect.

Oh and your description reminds me of Voltaire's Vampire Club.

Their leader was tall and snide and slim
He looked like a gay Captain Morgan

bb, does he look like a gay Captain Morgan?

he does. he wears a pirate suit at all times.

i'm putting an end to boyd. :| i will stab myself in the eye before i use him, k. i'm sure he is a nice enough boy, but fantarts have raped him one too many times. he'll always be a whiney OOC draco to me.

also he has crazy black eyesbrows like legolas -- oh shit i should use orlando bloom from LOTR for him

don't make me use that photoshopped icon just to spite you, k. although that would be an amazing choice.

I'd check out this guy- he played Silas in The DaVinci code. He's about the age you're looking for, too.

Simon Woods as Bingley from the last Pride & Prejudice movie always struck me as unnerving in his handsomeness. Unfortunately he's not blonde, but he's CLOSE and his hair is insane:

A blond and eerie Paul Bettany is good too. Thistledown's tough to PB.

On the subject of Strange & Norrell, are they still being BFF inside the Pillar of Darkness? I've been operating under the assumption that they still are, just wanted to make sure that wasn't completely off.

It's actually up to you. My original thought was that they would be, though so your assumption pleases me. To further elaborate on my interpretation of them at the moment, I have drawn you a picture depicting the scene:

Oh, man- how do you plan to play without a Norrell, since he seems to be the only person Jonathan constantly interacts with? D: Or get out of the Darkness? Or is that something I'll have to wait for? XD

HELLO PEOPLE

I need opinions on Childermass's PB. I've narrowed it down to two possible ones, but if you have any suggestions, I'd love to take them!

My two:

Mark Strong: http://asylums.insanejournal.com/tardis_icons/1949.html

In particular, faces like this:

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm62/tardisicons/mark%20strong/markstrong_016.png

And the other is John Malkovich as Edward Hyde:

To choose, I suggest factoring in one very important part of his personality.

He is a badass motherfucker. Not only that but he was a badass motherfucker who was born to a mother who was even more of a badass motherfucker with her gang of child pickpockets (a fact that never fails to crack me up).

Mark Strong very much says badass motherfucker. In fact, he is so badass that he is going to be in a movie called Kick-Ass in 2009.

Yes, I know. John Malkovich would be a great choice. I mean, think of it this way: Childermass has tarot cards. Therefore, he must look or at least dress vaguely like a gypsy and or hippy. (It's v. logical, trust me.) John Malkovich would be your best choice for ultimate hippy-gypsiness. But in the badass category he pales in comparison to Mr. Strong-- or Mr. BADASS, you might say.

Therefore, the logical choice is Mark Strong.

I like this Mark Strong fellow! Those faces are great, and his nose looks spot on for the character. For what it's worth, he's got my vote.

... this has nothing to do with the fact that I think John Malkovich sometimes looks like a strange human cat.

I'm very tempted to use Johnny Depp for Lascelles for his unamused expressions. Any better suggestions? Is Johnny Depp too... Johnny Depp? Too young?

I WILL MURDER YOU IF YOU USE DEPP. IT'S V. IC FOR ME, SO YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN.

*AHEM*

But seriously, Depp would suit Drawlight better than Lascelles, I think.

What about Jonathan Hyde? He played in the 1994 Granada Sherlock Holmes TV series, as Culverton Smith. And he was just fantastic at playing the sneering, cool gentleman.

http://jonathanhyde.net/images/9934.jpg

Here's a site with all sorts of pictures of him. I'm linking you to the Sherlock Holmes ones. :D
