the stylists are going to have their hands full with this one, hooboy
Hey Gamers, and almost Happy-New-Year! My name is Ronen, and I'm fresh meat bringing in some... not-so-fresh meat to the game.
This is the Creature from Frankenstein. Specifically from the National Theatre's stage adaptation, which is much closer to the original novel than a lot of other adaptations. For those who aren't familiar with either: this version of the Creature isn't a shambling mute, but is educated, erudite, and agile.
Although at the time he's being pulled from, he is, unfortunately, pretty much a monster. A monster with feelings, but, well... he's a murderer a couple of times over, has committed some other horrible deeds, and is leading his creator on a suicide walk to the North Pole.
Only now he's not. Because now he's going to be in Panem, being told that if he keeps on killing, he'll be the recipient of an entire country's adoration.
Dunno about you, but I'm ready to have some fun. =3
One more housekeeping thing: in the National Theatre version, the Creature was played by both Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. Characters who would recognize either of those faces might be interested in this excerpt from Creature's headcanon post:
Because of a scarcity of quality images and because I didn't want to play favorites, I use pictures of both Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller in Creature's icons. Folks who play characters that would recognize either of their faces might well ask, does he look more like Cumberbatch or Miller?
The answer there is "yes, no, kinda." He looks similar to both without looking precisely like either one: certain parts of his face may reflect one or the other, or he may look more like either of them from a particular angle. Characters who would recognize either actor's face are welcome to think that Creature reminds them of him, but it's not an exact facetwin situation.
That's enough from me for now until I can pull together an IC intro. I'm RoRodiculous on both Plurk and AIM, if anyone is interested, and I look forward toslaughtering your characters playing with you all soon!

SUP HIDEOUS REANIMATED ABOMINATION. Shepard too is one of these murderous creatures of what science hath wraught. And is also murderous.
They should be friends.
no subject
And ahaha, it's going to be so interesting seeing how he reacts to...yknow... people ._. But I anticipate he may get on fairly well with other killing machines. So hi Shep =D
no subject
I'm Lisa, one of the mods here, and I play Venus, Eva, Howard, Punchy and Penny. Added you on plurk!

Anyway yes, hi hi. Welcome to the Games! I'm Camille, I play this zombie here from Warm Bodies.

Oh maaaan it will be really interesting to see the Creature here.
Guy's is from a world that is what you might call light on the science, what with shoes being the hip new thing and fire being something not everyone knows how to make yet. He's already freaked by R being a zombie even though he's trying to treat him like a person, but the idea of someone making life in an unnatural way like that will freak him out.
And yet he'll probably wonder why the hell someone would make something like him and not offer guidance. So I am definitely tossing Guy at him.

If you feel like tossing, he'll be at the New Years event (since mandatory attendance, whoop), ooor he's got an open log up at thecapitol. Whichever you like!
no subject
I'm Dee and I play a pair of fellas here, the guy on this account Wyatt Earp (a tribute for 10, taken from a little seen western/based on the historical figure) and Albert Wesker over at
The latter I think, will be very interested in Creature here. /evil eyebrow waggle

I am Britt and I play Maximus here as well as BBC Sherlock and Ellie from the Last of Us!
I looooved the play (saw both versions of it in theatres) and am very excited to see Creature join us. c:
I'm down with doing weird recognition stuff or not doing it, totally up to you! I'm going to go ahead and add you on plurk, if that's alright!
no subject
or if they'd release a freakin' dvdAnd face shenanigans are among my favorite RP tropes, so go for it!
