Yes indeed~ :3

She's in an RP that's basically a universal crossover point, with at least twenty-seven different worlds contributing characters. It's not a bad RP, really, but it's a dying site. I don't know if that counts as 'canon' or not, since she's pretty IC, but definitely not where she's supposed to be. It started as a Harry Potter site, and just mutated from there. She can do wand magic, but in her original 'verse, there's no such thing.

So yes, definitely not where she's supposed to be.

At what time do Hogwarts students generally wake up?

I don't want any more to do with that site, at least until some more people in the section at least try to do something. I'm sick of seeing people sitting around whining about the troll and me being the only one apparently doing anything to stop it.

Even so, I still made the troll-reporting comm, in case anyone wants it.

The unwritten policy on pulling canons is that they have to be character replacements, not the actual canon character. Dafydd was meant to be Maglor, but wasn't really. Paddlebrains thinks of herself as Sirius Black, but clearly isn't the canonical version. Exceptions have been made only if the character is canonically dead with no chance of returning, as with Agent Suicide and Team Phoenix. It's better if they're more obscure characters, too. If the character is definitely the character and she's still alive in her own canon, even presumed missing, it's probably best not to recruit her.

Is it directly stated that she was pulled from someplace she wasn't supposed to be?

Random rules the world. x3

Hi. So. I just got a LiveJournal recently to post missions and ramble on about my life, and I swear I have a mission coming soon, it's just really freaking long.

Feel free to stop by and say hi.

Now, onto the question. What's the policy on recruiting caon characters that have been pulled into massive crossovers and the like? I kind of wanted to nab someone for DoSAT. At the time the character would be pulled out of a world, she technically should have been in a completely different galazy anyway, so it would be like having a copy of herself around, and not the original. Canon would continue as it was intended, and all would be well. Is this acceptable?

I know there were a few other canons pulled out like Dafydd(spelling?), but I just wanted to check.

Which is a bad thing to base judgments on, I know. You're probably right; I just hate that women have to be beautiful on television before they can be strong. You never see ugly heroines.

"Soppy" isn't right, either. But I definitely hate the Macho Male type...

Only /I/ have those. Not my Agents. XD

But she's a well-balanced character, can kick the arse of any guy who comes her way, doesn't stray into angst or violent femme fatale territory (well, maybe in Angel of Darkness), and did help pioneer strong female lead characters in video games. Surely all that overwhelms any criticism her, ahem, ample assets generate?

Zoe's pretty bad-ass throughout the Firefly series. It makes me wonder how Wash lucked out so much.

Lúthien Tinúviel! I can't believe I forgot her!

Rachel and Cassie (Animorphs), Katran (Myst), Hartanna (Dragons in out Midst), and let us not forget the thousands in the PPC.

Also, from McCaffrey's "Freedom" series, Kris Bjornsen.

I think that's her best series aside from Pern. The Talent series is good, but nearly EVERYONE is overpowered and haughty in it. (The Mrdini rock, though. And so does Afra Lyon.)

An overabundance of Soppy Male Leads, I mean. I can't think of any offhand, but I can't imagine it would sit better with me than the Overly-Macho Male Lead. I think the Stallone and Schwarzenegger character types are gross, frankly. Again, it's all about balance. I'd like my boyfriend to feel strongly enough about me to clock someone who was bothering me (if I didn't do it first myself), but I wouldn't like him to feel like he had to be a bruiser to be a good man. Similarly, I'd want him to be able to recognize and express his emotions, but not let them rule every moment of his life.

The best character I know who might be described as macho is Ka D'Argo from Farscape. He's big, he's tough, he's gruff, he'll sock you as soon as look at you if you cross him... and we learn that his secret ambition is to start a family and settle down on a farm. Wonderful character.

I mean (especially in the video games) she's endowed. And I mean seriously. To the point where it would get in the way. Character, yes, a warrior woman, but the model-like figure gets a bit close to Sue-dom for me.


(Please angry fans don't kill me.)

She packs the biggest hand cannon in the Firefly-verse and is badass to the nth degree. I agree with Leto's assessment that River isn't necessarily because of her mentally-damaged state, though.

How about, just putting a few randoms out there - Princess Fiona from the Shrek series (I mean, she kicks the arses of all of Robin Hood's merry men in the original, for one)? Hana Gitelman from Heroes (ex-Mossad with the ability to manipulate electric information etc.)? Ziva David from NCIS (just awesome)? Sydney Bristow from Alias? Fiona from Burn Notice? Lara Croft, Tomb Raider?

We do become angry over this sort of thing, but after a while the energy goes out of the fight, just as you say. I would never end up doing anything for a reporting community, anyway - I just don't have the time.

Maybe ignoring him will do some good.

Better to imagine the sobs, instead. *wicked grin*
