Tag Yourself: Limited PPC Agent Edition by SkarmorySilver on 2016-02-28 03:34:00 UTC Reply

So, I just posted the above on my Tumblr art blog, based on the "tag yourself" meme that's been circulating there as of late. I thought I'd do it with my PPC agents, and then I realized that as tongue-in-cheek as it is, doing this was also a pretty neat way for me to summarize my agents' personalities. I'm obviously Knife Birb, by the way, and also Thesaurus and Kid Bacchus.

So, quiz question: If you made a "tag yourself" meme using your agents, what sort of quirks and other traits would you list for each of them? And to fit the intent of the meme, which of your agents would you most relate to aside from your self-inserts and why?

Let's see if I've figured out how this works. by Neshomeh on 2016-02-29 19:01:00 UTC Reply

I avoid Tumblr as a rule, but this sounded like fun. {= )

Number Guy
* Lovable jerkass, or maybe just jerkass
* Remembers all the things
* Drinks to forget; it actually works
* Sixties Kid
* No touchy
* Citrus - DO NOT WANT

Blue ~~Dear~~ Deer
* Is blue, da ba dee da ba dai
* Nice, not stupid
* Adopted kid issues
* Somebody please give him The Talk already

Scarface
* Also scarred on the inside (symbolism!)
* Drinks to forget; it doesn't work at all
* Lives for the Duty
* May or may not know the Music of the Night
* Do not f*** with dragons
* Do not f*** with music

Viking Girl
* Badass
* Better than you
* Fear me, fear my dragon
* Actually pretty smart

Psy-chick
* Pro: Florence Nightingale
* Con: Florence Nightingale Syndrome
* In your head
* Old soul, literally
* All you need is love
* And maybe tea

And stopping there. Maybe I'll do the FicPsych crew later.

As for who I'm most like besides my usual avatar... I guess that would have to be Ilraen. I often fool people into thinking I'm all sweetness and innocence until they get to know me better and I let my guard down. It's fun when they find out I actually swear and stuff. ^_^

I should get off my lazy backside and do some more work on that crackfic collab we were doing once upon a time. There is no way it can end poorly. =]

...I'm also wondering if we could continue our co-write as well. I've noticed it's been going a little too slowly, and I'd still like to see our agents give the fic in question the old one-two, so to speak. ^^;

Yup. I've been shamefully lax in that regard. by Scapegrace on 2016-02-29 23:16:00 UTC Reply

Writing has... not been coming easily for me of late. Sorry.

Har, yes. by Neshomeh on 2016-02-29 21:50:00 UTC Reply

I can't promise I'll be able to devote a whole lot of time to it myself, between my job and the too-many other things I'm working on, but I do want to get it written eventually. {= )

I'll throw in some quick doodles. by Iximaz on 2016-02-29 03:51:00 UTC Reply

Aside from my old SI, I relate to Zeb the most because although crap keeps happening to him, he just keeps powering through.

Scanner's not working, so have some text. by doctorlit on 2016-02-28 16:40:00 UTC Reply

Need For Read
-looks better with the glasses on
-ironically, bad at reading people
-can self-entertain for hours
-actually pretty selfish, but decent at hiding it
-snorts new book smell

Pain of Memories
-the actual main character
-hiding the fear
-pretty much made of plot spoiler right now
-bisexual? still won't tell me for sure
-determined optimism

Captain Cook
-not sure if crap chef or competent chef with crap ingredients
-has no fandoms
-#whiteguywritingnativeNewCaledonianwomanlikeheknows
-honestly, would probably make for a decent action agent, but DOES NOT WANT
-actually working on cafeteria story right now—one more draft until beta time!

Aaaaand ugh, I dunno. After Doc, I guess I relate to Vania the most? Séverine and Yoof don't really have much of me in them; I just sort of discovered them.

Out of Skarm's agents, Rashida's description sounds the closest to me.

What? You assumed I was a nice person?
