RP meme, ganked from [livejournal.com profile] misslucyjane

Years roleplaying: 1995 to 1998 in Star Trek sims on CompuServe; since February 2004 on LJ (and GJ, and IJ).

Favourite three characters? Teja, Ricky Sands, Chandika Malhotra -- just to count the current ones. The charries on Morningstar Manor have no journals of their own; most muns plays theirs on a collective journal - one mun, many charries. So, I'll refer to all my charries by their names.-

Least favourite character? Manny3 -- for being unsympathetic. I enjoy him, though. Charrie I most sucked at doing justice? Morgaine, at an abortive GJ game of canon-ased OCs. She had enormous potential.

Male or female characters? Male. Much of the time. I do have female charries, but I hae a tendency towards older ladies. From Margolotta through Charlotte to Maude Temminck or Betty Cobham. I feel comfortable with them.

Oldest character? The one I played longest? Lajos; his Morningstar Manor incarnation is already his fourth.

Newest character? Ricky Sands

Most popular character? Tower, I think. He gives good tarot. But he eats up my brain, which is why I don't let him out very often.

Character you've made and never played?
1941!Jack Harkness, from Torchwood. I passed him on to [livejournal.com profile] misslucyjane

Which character of yours would be most likely to...

Jump off a bridge? Marek. He did kill himself.-
Get drunk and pass out? Andras
Kill somebody in a very unorthodox way? Manny3. Teja kills people in orthodox ways, with keen blades, looking them in the eye. Sekla, long ago, my Cardassian agent-cum-doctor, in one long-defunct Star Tre game. She was the most deathly and ruthless charrie I ever had.
Get married? Chandika still is married, but it's on the rocks now; Charlotte was married four times; Lajos is married and has three kids; Betty Cobham was a vicar's wife. But nobody is married to another mun's played character. Asar-Suti is very much not!married to Gil Whimple, though. But we only play them rarely any more.
Be far too hyper for their own good? Ricky Sands
Get lost and refuse to ask for directions? Emm!Manny
Get lung cancer? Emm!Manny again, only he died of other causes (with a little help from a ghost, at the end) before he could ever get lung cancer.
Star in a horror movie? Morninstar Manor is oe horror movie setting. As for starring -- Andras, maybe, because he can scream and whimper pathetically when he sees a mummy.
Star in a whore movie? I take that to mean pr0n, as Jenna did. Andras. Yes. Oh dear. He might have done, silly boy!
Star in a video game? Teja. That axe just so kicks ass.
Make the world a better place? Ricky. He's an idealist like that.
Have a torrid gay love affair (where the character is not normally gay)? I can't really answer that; I have enough canon argument to support elements of gayness in both Teja and Asar-Suti, and the OCs are really up to mun discretion. But I guess a charrie that is straight, and could have a surprise gay one-off would be Ricky. He'd totally do a dude on occasion. Especially if he's horny. Which he is, by now, majorly, as it seems for him, his stay at the Manor means protracted celibacy, while everybody around him are doing it like bunny rabbits. Poor frustrated hippie!

Relate each word to a character of yours:
Love: Chandika
Hate: Manny3
Money: Emm!Manny
Seduction: Andras
Lies: Manny3
Tragedy: Teja
Manipulation: Manny3
Violence: Teja
Politics: Andras. He actively has opinions.
Fire: Teja -- he has it in his forge
Ice: Tower. He can be very icy at times.

Would you ever...

Play a prostitute? Yes. My NPC Corazon started out as an ex-prostitute turned bicycle courier, in the Morningstar Manor AU week.
Play a musician? Teja
Play a pilot? Didn't have the chance yet
Play a homosexual? Many of my charries are, actually
Play a pedophile? Possibly -- if I could stand the edginess, and the political debate that would raise. Maybe an NPC in Morningstar Manor; certainly not in Milliways.
Play a politician? Teja -- was a king!
Play a PC based on someone you know IRL? I've actually given Teja some of the more irksome conservative mannerisms and opinions my grandfather used to have.
Play a PC based on someone you know online? I vaguely named a then NPC baddie after a then online enemy. The charrie turned into a played neutral charrie with sympathetic sides; and I made up with the enemy. As to avoid wank, I will not say more about it -- all is good now, after all!
Play a PC based on someone you like? I tend to like my charries! And if they're canon harries, they are of course based on somebody I like -- the canon version of themselves, and maybe their actors, if they are movie canon of some sort.
Create a character for the sole purpose of smut? Andras was a bit like that at the beginning, but he cleaned up his act.

Lastly, take each of your characters and assign a song to them:
There are too many of them -- I have twelve, in MM!! And still three in Milliways. So I'll do it the other way round -- name the songs I have characters associated with.
Teja has his own playlist, though -- flocked!
'Mont St. Michel', by Mike Oldfield, belongs to AU Marek and Emm!Manny, for extremely complex reasons.
'Make It Go Away Or Make It Better' by Holly Cole is associated with Andras and Eamon in the early stages of their relationship.
And for a certain stage in the development of Emm!Manny, it was 'In Dreams', as lip-synched by his own PB, here.
