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!
