A third book character to blame on Lynn

[rogueroyalty]

Hi! My name is Leah and I too am absolutely new here and have brought a book character from a book about a girl who dresses up like a boy so she can fight for the kingdom.

But, uh. A different one.

This guy I have with me here is George Cooper from Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness Quartet, which takes place in her Tortall universe. He's not the crossdressing badass in question, simply her bff who until very recently was the King of all the thieves in Tortall and has now ended up with a pardon from the actual King of Tortall and a future career in spymastering. He'll be trying to translate that to here, as I've stuck him in Communications, so get ready for twisty-spy-brain diplomacy, whichever ship ends up receiving him. He's a pretty friendly dude all the same, for a guy with an ear collection at home.

Everyone should add me at maleabotor because I've been stalking you all in Lynn's plurks and I think you're all great.

ETA: NEARLY FORGOT George has a Permissions Post for the magical instinct power he has and I'd really appreciate anyone filling it out, especially if your character has a power themself.

I don't have an icon where Hawke barrels into someone and hugs them at 80 mph so you will just have to imagine it. HELLO FRIEND HELLO

[rogueroyalty]

HELLO I'm here and I'm glad

[forcemageure]

what a great icon, omg.

what a great YOU

[rogueroyalty]

NO U

I've grown so pleased with my PB, the faces he makes are just

they're just great

[forcemageure]

omg Yes, that is the BEST feeling. love the heck out of your PB, is what I say.

[rogueroyalty]

haha IS IT i had not noticed how much fondness you have for Cavill


of course, he's objectively great, though

[forcemageure]

IT'S TRUE

but here is the thing, it just. creates this delightful feedback loop where you enjoy the pb so you enjoy the character more, and so the PB becomes even more objectively delightful, and so on

[rogueroyalty]

That's super great, and I can see how that could happen. It didn't happen SO much with Luke's dude but it's definitely happening here and most of all with Oren.

[forcemageure]

Well I mean, Oren's PB is possibly the most adorable thing ever to happen to Wales, so it stands to reason!

[sethenerami]

he's unfair

[alwayscomeback]

Hallo hallo and welcome to the game!

I'm TF and I play Crowley from Good Omens, Sokka from AtLA, Fenris from Dragon Age and Manolo from the Book of Life.

[rogueroyalty]

Hi! I don't know how I didn't notice all of those were you but WOW your character choices, A+

[alwayscomeback]

Ahha thank you! I'm a master of disguise and never knew it!

[rogueroyalty]

It's definitely that and not my terrible memory during stalking plurks. Anyway, basically, I'm excited for all of them.

[alwayscomeback]

Excellent, I shall have to throw some guys at him!

[forcemageure]

TF IS A REALLY SUPER GOOD FENRIS

[save_the_souls]

I really need to reread those books. THEY WERE MY CHILDHOOD.

But hello welcome to the game! I'm Yuff and I play Allen Walker from D.Gray-man and Zelos Wilder from Tales of Symphonia!

[rogueroyalty]

Hi! Thank you super lots for filling out my Permissions, first off.

Secondly, ummmm Tales of Symphonia was also my childhood so...yay Zelos! :]

And yeah, the playing George thing came out of a recent reread so I'm going to sit here like yes you should definitely.

[radiantwingedone]

excuse me as I keyboard smash in my brain for minutes

Hi I am Samm and I have Tortall / Tamora Pierce books feels


AND WOW FORGETTING THINGS. I play Duke Pantarei from Tales of Vesperia, and Asteffiel the Sylvari necromancer OC-

[rogueroyalty]

MAN I love finding other people who have Tamora Pierce book feels; playing George is like having a Pierce-fan-seeker. Nice to meet you, Samm, and I look forward to meeting your characters!

[theboogieman]

Ear collection.......

HELLO LEAH, I'm Stick. :} Welcome to space!

I play a bunch of OCs--Robin, the literal demigod of angst, Krista, the gothy teenage fairy girl, and Zhas, who paints his face like a skull because vampires happened and he never really got over it. So expect to see one of those guys heading your way... :>

[rogueroyalty]

HI STICK I was hoping someone would ask. 8D Basically, as the king of thieves, George was really big on his orders being followed, and having things done correctly. For people under his rule, their first mistake gets a warning, their second means he takes one of their ears, and the third means he takes "the other ear and everything attached". He apparently still has a chest full of ears like 20 years later.

...probably won't be using this method here. But then: he's not ruling over thieves, here.

I'll be looking forward to meeting any of them! They all sound interesting.

[theboogieman]

THAT IS SO GROSS AND exactly the answer I was hoping for lmao. How funny.

COOL I'm excited! C:

[rogueroyalty]

For a while I wasn't sure if it was an empty threat but the author confirmed that he keeps the chest in his attic now in an interview and I was like OK THAT'S GREAT. EAR CHEST.

[wordmiser]

OMG GEORGE COOPER AWESOME.

Hi! I'm Jordan and I play Jinx, here. She's an OC with murderous habits and sticky fingers.

[rogueroyalty]

Yaaaaay. :D

Hi, Jordan! Sounds like someone George'd totally get XD

[wordmiser]

I COMPLETE AGREE. More unsavory characters for Jinx to bond with? Perfect!

[rogueroyalty]

Always on the lookout for that! Roguish people are great.

[deshabille]

HI LEAH IT'S ANNE I NEED TO REREAD THESE BOOKS

[rogueroyalty]

HI I AGREE literally I started a reread like. Last month? Because I remembered how much I liked Daine, and I came out of it with a George account. It's a bit weird rereading the Lioness Quartet because they're her very first so it's the thing of....going back to before an author improved to their current amazingness and liking it still but also noticing the difference. But it's still totally worth it.

I gotta reread Pratchett myself, once all my Pratchett books are here and not at my parents' house.

I just like that the three newest are George and two people who did precisely what Alanna did.

[deshabille]

i just remember reading them being incredibly therapeutic and empowering and i want to be therapized and empowered so maybe after i finish the 327842927 library books i'm working on now i will lioness like crazy.

LMAO I KNOW it's almost like we planned it. maybe lynn planned it :|a

[rogueroyalty]

/rubs hands together
I will be looking forward to when you have the time.

I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST HER.

[forcemageure]

>_> i would never

[diomedea]

HELLO AND WELCOME my name is Dee and I play River and Dorian Pavus and Aziraphale and I am lookin forward to hijinx? Yes.

[rogueroyalty]

YAY to all of those, and especially hijinx. Hi, Dee!

[forsometimenow]

hi you have awesome taste in characters

I'm Shurimon and I play Jennifer Keller from Stargate Atlantis and Simon Tam from Firefly.

[rogueroyalty]

dfganhsdkjads hello Shurimon and Shurimon Cat.

So do you :>

[forsometimenow]

Why thank you!

I have some very very fond memories of reading Song of the Lioness in high school- they remain some of my favorite books today- so it makes me happy to see someone playing from them.

[rogueroyalty]

Yes! Me too: it's kind of my goal to eventually play from all of the series that were important to me as a kid, and it's great to find out when it's a series that's important to someone else too.

[forsometimenow]

One of my friends introduced me to them, and I tore through the whole series in like a week. They're one of my comfort rereads.

[rogueroyalty]

Yes, I have a lot of...place feelings associated with them. Like where and when I read them.

[tothefly]

Joining in with Tortall fangirling because yes. I used to play Alanna and Numair, and George is just the best.

Hi I'm Ty and I play Natasha Romanoff, from the Marvel Universe, and she and George should clearly be spy rivals and/or pals and talk shop sometime. :D

[rogueroyalty]

mo_________om

And yes! Someone else who knows the way of spywork is SUPER VALUABLE rn.

[tothefly]

That face is incredible. XD but yes! SPYWORK. THEY COULD HAVE AN INTERSHIP NETWORK OF INFORMATION AND SUBTERFUGE AND REALLY COOL THEME MUSIC.

[rogueroyalty]

If you mean the PB then I agree, he wasn't my IDEAL originally but he has really grown on me, the weirdo ( if you mean the emote I will stare at people who play from my canon FOREVER ).

YES I NEED.

[tothefly]

The emoticon was specifically meant but yes, the PB too. He has the perfect George nose, just look at it. Long and awkward. :D

I'm super psyched for spytime!
