Hiiiiiii party people

I'm Ronen! Lots of you know me! Some of you don't, I think! But I'm here to play Eliot Waugh, just one of the many magically-talented hot messes you can find in the book trilogy/Syfy series The Magicians. He's a student at Brakebills (American Hogwarts for grown-ups) and a pretty damn good magician... as well as a mostly-functional and self-aware alcoholic. Not to mention the other drugs. So, uh. There's that. But he's a lot of fun! Really. Denial of Your Problems is a lovely place this time of year.

He'll be waking up... soon (I'm not 100% sure when, because on the one hand I'm raring to go, on the other I'm about to enter two days of Work Hell). Looking forward to playing with everyone! You can find me on Plurk at RoRodiculous.

One More Thing: Eliot comes from a world where pop culture is mostly assumed to be the same as ours. Things that are culturally known even outside the nerdier pockets of society — I'm looking at Harry Potter, X-Men, and Marvel characters in particular — are things that Eliot might recognize. Luckily, he has enough of a concept of propriety that he wouldn't blurt anything fourth-wall-breaking out loud to their faces. However, if anyone is uncomfortable with fourth-wall type thoughts in his inner monologue, please let me know! I'll find a way to write around them. <3

+1 grumpy smol glowy elf

[lyriumburned]

hello! i'm Lain and i'm brand spanking new here. i work in an office, the old 8-5 monday through friday grind, so my usual time for tagging is in the evenings and on weekends. and i'm in the US in the central timezone for reference. i usually poke around on plurk throughout the day though and i'm always keen for a distraction.

i'm bringing you guys Fenris from the Dragon Age series. specifically Dragon Age II. he's a former (escaped) slave and has a handful of hang ups and issues because of this, as one would expect. and because being a slave wasn't traumatic enough, his master also put him through a process where lyrium (basically liquid metal with magical properties) was fused into his skin. he's also grumpy, short, borderline alcoholic and murderous. he's basically the Wolverine of the Dragon Age world. sort of...

the lyrium in his skin doesn't do too much, but it does grant him one very interesting ability, he can become intangible and tangible at will. the lyrium glows when he does this (or really anytime he's fighting or gets angry or emotional). he almost exclusively uses this ability to stick his hand into the chests of his enemies and either crush their hearts or pull them out.

anyway! if anyone is interested in reading more about all that, his app is over this way. he's also got a big sword (;3) and is an elf. elves in the Dragon Age verse are smaller and slimmer than most humans and Fenris definitely follows this rule. his former master was a mage, and magic has a kind of taboo in his 'verse, so expect him to be very suspicious of any of you magic-types.

if anyone is canon blind, or just has any questions at all, i will happily chat your ear off about Dragon Age and Fenris :3

also feel free to add me on plurk! squissie
