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.

All the DCAU cast is fantastic amazing. And she woooouuuuuld be, because DCAU!Bruce at least approaches sane and nonjerksome sometimes.

And oh, you must, the Disc is amazeballs.

And yes, it does at that! Though whether to take the tweet regarding Torchwood as serious makes for craziness.

Yeah, the DCAU is my actual fav.

I am currently in the actual middle of nowhere but I might try to look them up when I'm home. o/

Which tweet now? :|a

\o/

The tweet in question: 'kittynorville1 Lining up guests to interview for show while I'm in London. I keep hearing about this thing called Torchwood that might have info for me...' I died.

And, hey, mind giving your opinion on how her canonically knowing DC and Marvel will work with IDs in game?

... that's adorable.

Basically, it's down to the individual player how to handle the 4th wall breaching. We don't disallow it, per se, but for example - I'm fine with having people know of a 'Batman', but I really don't want anyone being able to go Batman = Bruce Wayne, or even that Batman = tragic past, which I *believe* is how the rest of the Batfam cast is playing it as well.

I have no idea how the Marvel side of things wants to roll with it, tho, but it's probably better to err on the side of safety rather than just bursting people's bubbles. People like Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are pretty open with their secret IDs because -- well, they're not so secret in their worlds, but I'm pretty sure Natasha and Clint are being a lot more clandestine. :|a I should toss up an OOC post about this sometime soon, actually, just to get a general game consensus on the matter...

But yeah, it's probably a good idea to ask before you puncture that 4th wall, but everybody's pretty friendly about these things and we all like PMs. :3

In that case, I think I'll go with ignoring the many canon references, and also toss that permission post up (since that is the saner option, depending on how one defines sanity).

Works for me! :3

Also omg that is the cutest wolf ever omg. I want to take it home.

And everyone else!

It is the closest wolf I could get to how wolf!Kitty is described without taking photoshop to the poor thing, but yes, super cute.
