I assume that at least some of the Boarders are familiar with classic cartoon series such as Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry. I have a question regarding an idea for an Agent. If I were to create an Agent native to the Looney Tunes continuum, or a continuum of a similar nature, by what degree should it be toned down for it to be acceptable?
In case you are curious, the details for the Agent in question are below. Note that this is not a Permission request, only a request for suggestions.
Name: Rhodes Runner
Age: 23
Species: Cartoon Road Runner
Home Continuum: Looney Tunes
Department: Floaters
Partner: Riley Coyote
Fandoms: Disney Animated Canon, Looney Tunes, Harry Potter, Animaniacs, can pick up most video game continua in a pinch
Lust-Objects: None (that we know of)
Favorites: Road Runner (natch), Bugs Bunny, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, etc.
Weapons: Super speed, a crowbar
Rhodes is a replacement of Road Runner from a Looney Tunes AU, in which the main cast live in the United States during World War II. His ability to talk, and somehow play the saxophone, were what marked him as an out-and-out replacement. However, he was actually a decent character, and he, along with his future partner Riley, helped the two Agents deployed to kill the fic to hunt down the real cartoon stars. Rhodes is a generally upbeat kind of guy, and always eager to be doing something. He's also surprisingly good at he saxophone, and has a great appreciation for music. As a consequence, he gets annoyed quickly by songfics. He also reacts badly to characters being imprisoned, either literally (in an actual prison or plothole), or figuratively (by being trapped in their own minds due to the Sue throwing them OOC). As a general rule, he believes the day wasted if he hasn't bugged his partner at least once.
I will post Riley's info once I get a definitive ruling on this character.
