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.

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 :>

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.)

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|

Ahahahaha, Kitty has enough good influences. She married her lawyer! Though, she did leave him at home. Steph have any experience with legal matters? :P

Steph does get a raw deal at times! ...But then again a lot of the Bat clan tends to get a raw deal, so. ...On the plus side, she was never with the Titans?

Not at all! <.< Steph wouldn't know a legal matter if it bit her.

oh god, that is a bonus, yeah. everything is terrible if you're a titan.

Consider her hired!

And oh yeah. Just. Jeez. If you like being alive, don't join the comic Titans. Or YJ. Or any other teen dc group when and where they occur. Yeesh. she's done good there.

Perfect :>

YJ didn't do too badly, all things considered, they just kind of ended up with assorted terrible traumas. Remind me why I read comics?

Still never good when your young future generation of adult heroes are being set on a direction that will lead them to be more screwed up than Batman, though. And you got started either on the cartoons or on the comics before the comics became dead set on mass trauma for as many characters as possible? I was started on comics when I was two. I was doomed before I could read!

I started with No Man's Land so it's not ike I got sucked in with cuteness EVERYTHING WAS ALWAYS TERRIBLE

That's all there really is to be said.

Oooch. No Man's Land. The rogues got seriously mischaracterized in that, to me. I mean, these are Bat's villains! They're as territorial and protective of Gotham as he is, in their own weird way. And social and buddy-ish to an extent. they wouldn't dissolve to pansy gang territory games when Lex is looking in.

(I was lucky. BB!Kon was my intro when I started to read. So amazing!)

I honestly don't remember much about it beyond CASS and the Batfam dynamics tht made me fall in love with them. IIRC the stuff with Two Face and Renee was really interesting, if creepy.

I've read most of bb!Kon's stff, since he was my main RP character for a while, ilhim.

Batfam dynamics are my favorite thing about the Gotham crowd, hands down. And totes agreeing on the creepy front.

And more eee.

I love them so much it's the only reason I'm still in fandom despite all the shit DC has pulled.

:>

I forgot to say OMG VIMES yes app him please.

That is the usual state for comics fandom, yeah.

And yes! I'm planning! Though this turtle is a downgrade for him.

sobs comics why

Sorry that Tu Vishan isn't as cool as A'Tuin.

Tu Vishan is like a old school bug. A'Tuin's an RV. Or something. ...i don't know where I was going with this.

It totally makes sense. A+ analogy
