 Hoi, tortugitos!  I am July, and I am bringing in Kitty Norville, from the Kitty Norville series by Carrie Vaughn, as my first character; her canon point is during Kitty Goes to War. She is a werewolf (yes, named Kitty) who moonlights as a late night radio talk show host- or is it the other way around? She has a habit of accidentally getting caught up in a lot of things between her own curiosity and looking into new topics for her show, and is fond of the idea of froufrou drinks when she has the time to enjoy them (this tends to be a rarity due to the previous point). She'll be definitely interested in figuring out what's going on, on the turtle. 

 

A thing I'd like to figure out with everyone is that Kitty makes quite a few references to superheroes-particularly the DCU- which means that canonically she knows a lot of identities. I don't want to trod on any toes here with regards to that, so I would love to try and figure this out with everyone beforehand. To reassure everyone with that, she's not dense enough to try and make those identities public or otherwise if her keeping that knowledge is okayed- she knows (albeit to a lesser extent) that having huge things like that outed isn't fun.

 

This also intersects with her abilities- as a werewolf, she's able to identify people by scent, so I'll be throwing up a permissions post with regards to that, since again, characters who have multiple identities would need that sorted for sure, since your own unique scent is hard to get rid of!

 

Hopefully I'll be able to get into the swing of things and enjoy the game with Kitty, since I'm also interested in maybe apping a certain warrior princess and also a certain commander of the watch from the Disc, at some point down the road. 

 

I'd love to get in contact with people over AIM, since it's my primary messenger- I'm fairladypsyche there.

Hello bb!

I'm Roy, and I play this here Bat, as well as Asami Sato from LoK, Brandon Sharpe from Avengers Academy, and Eris from Sinbad!

I confess I've never read the books Kitty's from, but they sound super interesting and I'm excited to have her around! :3

Who might this warrior princess and commander of the watch be, curiously? /chinhands

[wolfnamedkitty]

Eee. A Bat. And that is an awesome mix of characters, right there.

Hmmmmm! *think* Do the names 'Diana' and 'Sam Vimes' ring any bells, perchance~?

Kitty's books and author are amazing. I ended up having a flail moment the other day because I found out Vaughn has a twitter account- for Kitty.

[cowled]

I think we actually have most of the Batcast by now, tbqh. We're missing Babs and Timmy and Kate right now, but all the other main DCU!Bats are pretty much present and accounted for. It's excellent. :3

;ksjad;fj are you playing with my heart do you mean Wondy ;-; do you because that would be incredible she is my fav. /REACHES...

The other name sadly does not ring any bells! Who are they and were are they from?

... omg that's strangely adorable. I MIGHT HAVE TO PICK THESE BOOKS UP...

[wolfnamedkitty]

Yeeeees, that warrior princess named Diana. I will more likely than not go with DCAU because comics!Diana breaks my heart because oh god more than half the time they don't know how to write her and her characterization is all over the place-

*screeches to a halt*

Eeee, you don't know Pratchett's Discworld? Vimes is from the Discworld, which is a world that is flat and shaped like a disc, which is on the backs of four elephants, which are on the back of a turtle.

Which swims through space.

Vimes is the grouchy pentultimate watchman of Anhk-Morpork, which is his city. He is amazing and territorial and stubborn about working through the law to the point of arresting pretty much anyone if he feels the need to do so to do his job.

And it is! But talk about heart attack moment, because how can you compare RPing a character to their own author?! Obaby.

/squishes the July

Yaaaay dragging you here. I am so happy. And with Kitty added to the mix, Lois really just needs to form an Official Badass Women's Coalition or something. I'll think of a better name/acronym.

(and i will make all the puppy-eyes about that warrior princess. all of them. >_>)

<3

[wolfnamedkitty]

Darling Leeeeeeeeee-

And yes, I have been soundly dragged. So very soundly dragged.

And oh! A name! BAMF! Badass Media Females! Or no? Probably no.

(And you know I find that hard to resist! So unfair. I'll get around to canon consumption, munch munch munch chew....)

[wherethestoryis]

Sadly, no, cannot be BAMF, as Peggy and Steph--well, Steph's helping with the paper, she almost counts--and others would also be involved. Besides, that's fairly pedestrian for an acronym...

(And that, my dear, is why I use the puppy-eyes to begin with~ )

[tasteforpoison]

Hiiii July, I'm Mari! I have not read Kitty's books before but when I worked at a bookstore I used to see them around so I am peripherally familiar with them!

I have a couple book-canon characters here myself. Yelena on this account is from Poison Study (the Study Series) by Maria V. Snyder, and I also have Favrielle (flawedgoods) from Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy series. Aaand lastly I have Marta (virology) from the recent Bourne Legacy movie.

ALSO just reading at your thread above I HAVE ACTUALLY READ GUARDS! GUARDS SO I KNOW WHO VIMES IS AND JFKDSLJAS I am going to have to reread the book if you decide to app him /chinhands

Also you can get in touch with me via DW or I'm also on AIM and plurk at "ramiahstar" :3

[wolfnamedkitty]

Eee, book people! Poison Study is actually on my wayhuge list of 'looks interesting, should read!' books. I will have to bump it up into the priority tier, now!

And ohmigosh you need to read more of the Watch subseries if you've only read Guards! Guards! Because it just gets better from there in the most ridiculous ways.

[tasteforpoison]

XD I will never say no to people reading Poison Study but only after they've had proper warnings about the books. The more I play Yelena the more I'm finding I have a love-hate relationship with the series.

But yes I really do want to read more, Pratchett is just one of those authors I have a hard time with sometimes, I don't know why. I tried Color of Magic ages ago and just couldn't get past the first chapter. I might try a G! G! reread and see if I can move onto the other Watch books from there X3

[myothertights]

Hello!

I'm Zak, welcome to the game! Kitty sounds like an amazing character! I love werewolves ;A;!!

Anyway, I play Billy/Wiccan from Young Avengers, Sokka from A: TLA and Kon-El/Superboy from DC (the 90's edition). So look forward to throwing people at you!

[wolfnamedkitty]

Hi, Zak!

She is!

Oh god, 90s Kon is best Kon! The hair, the jacket, inexplicably managed ear piercing, the utter horror on Ma and Pa Kent's faces at his ~fashion sense~

[tactile_telekinesis]

All my favourite things! Including how he's all that and the hottest thing since the sun!

Best fashion sense! They're just from like...a farm in a small place, they don't know fashion. (He loves you really Ma and Pa!)

[controlledvariable]

Hi, July!

I'm Justine, I play Steph here, and I love me some warwulfs. Especially if they are awesome sounding ladies who get caught up in things a lot.

re: fourth wall breaking, my personal preference is for it to not happen. I tend to skirt around referencing popular canons (Star Trek/LOTR/etc) to keep things simpler. lbr i doubt steph is even popular enough for kitty's knowledge of the dcu to affect her, but i'd still rather not have her outed, please :>

[wolfnamedkitty]

Hi, Justine! Eeee. Steph<3.

Kitty is! And does. She gets caught up in things. All the things. Possibly too much things.

And yeah, I've decided going from Roy's response to just ignore the in-canon canon references- saner option overall.(But if Doctor Strange merits mention, Steph totally is known; she outranks him in terms of 'well knownness', imo.)

[controlledvariable]

Yay someone excited about Steph :>

You know what Kitty needs in her life? Good decision makers like Steph, she's a great influence!!!

That sounds like a good idea, you can have fun making up fake superhero names! and asfsdf aww, maybe I am just cynical because of how DC treats her B|

[storm_warning]

Hey thar! Tis Alex here, player of Storm-1610, Tony Stark-MCU, and Shifu of Kung Fu Panda. I cannot wait to get my things sorted enough that I can tag you! /o/

ALSO, I SEE THESE MENTIONS OF DIANA? OMG so amazing!

[wolfnamedkitty]

Hoi, Alex! Ultimate X-Men Storm? Eeee. (Can't really comment on MCU Stark.) And Shifu!

I will be super eager for future tags! \o\

And yeeees. I have hopes to manage to toss in DCAU Diana (Because we know how these comics are with writers changing characterization with every change of hands and it being all over the place for better or worse, depending on the character).

[shifu_sifu]

Someone else that knows Ultimate Marvel? THAT MAKES MORE THAN ME AND THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY OMG!

Also, Kitty sounds interesting! A werewolf will be an intriguing addition to the crew.

OH GOD. Let's not even pretend that comic writers can do consistency. I played Dick Grayson from the DCU for a while and OH MY GOD. /headinhands Different writers, different takes, different everything.

[usavatar]

OMG KITTY NORVILLE. HI MY NAME IS JAE I LIKE LITERALLY JUST STARTED READING THESE BOOKS.

[wolfnamedkitty]

Aaaaah look away look away, you're not allowed to read her threads or app until you're at least at House of Horrors! No spoilers for you! delete everything from memory!

(also hi, cap)

[usavatar]

CLEARLY THIS JUST MEANS I NEED TO READ FASTER.

(hi there u__u)

[demon_brat]

Hi! I'm Kiki, with this brat here and Bucky Barnes from MCU. And welcome!

Re identities... ... nope, complicated. I mean, Bucky's already been told that he's been in comics as Steve's side-kick and wearing short shorts and he's all... squinty at the phenomenon.

Damian... is complicated. I'll stick with Roy's call, esp. re 4th wall.
Except that there aren't that many 11 year old boys around, so that will be fun. Especially when combined with the scent.

This should so be fun!

(Also EEE VIMES!)

[wolfnamedkitty]

/waves Hiiii, Kiki! Awh, Damian! And Bucky! (Kitty's sister's dog is named Bucky. That is not relevant at all. And probably shouldn't be mentioned to Bucky.)

And yeah, decided to go with a total ignore of the in canon canon references for sanity, following what Roy said.

(I am grinning my head off at the "eee"ing the mere thought of Vimes is getting.)

[demon_brat]

... it would made Bucky blush, probably. He's... really not used to the idea of being somebody. Even less so somebody people name their gods after.

Ahem. HI!

(HHHAAHAHAH ALL THE PRATCHETT!!!!)
