Awright, awright, I'm bored. And taking a meme from Snapple:
MEME, requiring input
1) Make a list of 10 characters.
2) Assign each character a number.
3) Without telling anyone who's on the list or the character's assigned number, get questions from your flist about what they'd like to know about them. (IE: "If 3 and 4 were trapped in a cave together with only a blanket and a toothpick, what would they do?" (The more random the better!)
4) Post the answers and who was who on the list.
(These are gonna be a mix of fandom characters and characters I've RPed, because.) |

So, yeah, I'm pretty grossed out by the weird corporate-speak about informed thought leaders, etc., and I'm not gonna spend any more money on LJ. This doesn't mean a heck of a lot for anyone but me and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) vivian_shaw, though: I'm keeping most of my journals here as active as they've been. They'll just lose a lot of icons when the paid stuff runs out.
I just really, really wish InsaneJournal didn't have that grating ~Woo! Tee-hee! Insanity!~ shtick going on. It really pisses me off. Seriously. A lot. Unfortunately, by and large I've heard IJ works better than GreatestJournal.
Meh. |

I have vague memories of this thing I used to do where I'd, like, go online and feel energy and enthusiasm for RPing my characters in public places.
:/
Yeah. |

I have an assortment of pups! They include:
secretarybird - Djehuty
thutmosis - Djehutymes
strong_one - Set
mr_tetu - Mr. Tetu (See how clever my usernames are?)
indivar - Indivar Herron (See? See?)
ishmael_herron - Ishmael Herron (My cleverness it is uncanny.)
francis_varney - Francis Varney (Okay, you get the point.)
the_boat - Boat
ocktypus - Octopus marginatus, who's probably just hiding in a coconut shell and perfecting his scheme to take over the world.
nexus_gnome - Toshiro
eldritchinfirmi - an assortment of ghouls, mummies, banshees, bogeymen, etc.
Other pups that I'm forgetting but that you can ask about too.
Ask the pups questions, behind the 4th wall, of course. Whether IC or OOC, they have to answer. You can ask the mun questions too! What the heck! |

For purposes of RP, it will be nice when I am not covering one and a half other people's hours in addition to my own, so that I can be online for large portions of most days. This should be the case soon. |

I'm away to the Boston area for a couple of weeks, and expecting patchy internet access, of the sharing-computer-with-my-dad sort. |

So I was poking around the internet, trying to find more good images of Set (surprisingly hard to do) and discovered a really, really beautiful ibis figurine. I'm inflicting it on you all, under a cut. Not much information about provenance; 6th-4th century BC.
( IBIS! ) |

| Boring ruminations about potential characters, with a word-usage digression. |
[Jun. 30th, 2007|08:58 am] |
Eh, so. Yeah. There was someone all invoky on the Egyptian pantheon, and I dusted off Set, who's been mostly messing around in frivolous AU-land, etc. And of course I was all thinky. Blah blah blah.
Some mythological characters it would be cool to play (or even cooler to see played well):
Horus: Dude, Horus the younger has such potential. Excellent storyline: raised in hiding, pretender1 to the throne, must avenge father's wrongful death and grow to take his place, embodiment of political order and kingship. Plus, damn, you have the potential for some beautiful icons, with falcons and statues of kings. I think sometimes about playing him myself, but he'd run the risk of blurring too much with Djehutymes. Also, there gets to be a point where it's really hard to keep avoiding having my characters interact with each other, and there's no way that Djehuty and Set would both ignore Horus.
Isis: I am not, generally, very interested in mother goddesses. Consuming passion directed at a person--child, lover, what have you--doesn't usually speak to me as a character trait, although I know it's a big one for plenty of writers; maternal tenderness towards all of mankind, which is what Isis moved towards over time, also doesn't to me make for a lot of character interest. But, that said, I feel like someone could make a lot out of Isis for writing or RP purposes. She has some moments of remarkably cold and steely ambition--poisoning Re to coerce him into revealing his powerful secret name, for instance. Impregnating yourself by the dead king makes an interesting power play. She's "cleverer than millions of gods," she nips around in disguise, she's cool.
Hephaistos: See, I think about things other than Egyptian religion! Really! Anyway, Hephaistos hangs out in his workshop and makes robots. What more do you want for Nexus play? He makes golden women, gold and silver watchdogs, bronze fire-breathing bulls, brass and iron horses. He also makes divine jewelry, weapons, and chains. Furthermore, he has a complicated family life, with being despised by his mother and married to a prodigiously unfaithful wife. He hangs out with satyrs and cyclopes--and his beautiful golden robot girls. Anyhow. I feel like he would upgrade well into modern-time RP. Weird ugly brilliant inventor guy.
Wepwawet: Okay, mostly I just like saying Wepwawet. Anyway, he's the Opener of Ways, another Egyptian canine-headed god--described in one book as "a kind of celestial guide dog"--who mostly helps the dead get to where they're going. Even though he probably doesn't do much psychopomping these days, I have this image of him going off and doing sort of Aragorn-Ranger type stuff. He could make a fun minor character: nice visuals, interesting providence, lots of room to interpret a personality.
----
1 In the older, neutral sense of the word, without implying any falseness to the claim. Hee. This word has been a pet peeve of my brother's, so I finally looked up what the OED says. Modern usage is almost entirely in terms of a false claimant to a position, but I'm gonna have a moment of sisterly solidarity and use the old-school meaning. |

| Um, yeah. |
[Jun. 20th, 2007|08:54 am] |
So. Until my computer is happier, I pretty much am nnnnot going to be online a whole lot. I am filled with meh.
Bridgie, I think maybe the Djmes-and-Courtney birthday hanging-out just isn't meant to be. :/
PrIME folks, y'all can go ahead and process apps and what-not without me. (Don't wait for me--I'll just slow you down. *coughs blood, wipes dramatic grit from face*)
Meh, I say. |

On the off chance that I ever post in BRPS, some things I will remember to avoid. Like unto the plague. These are things that bug me. (Note that I still go to BRPS at least once a day and fret over drama. Because I am a hypocrite.)
1. TL; DR. ( Like the rest of this post! :D ) |

Okay, I don't know to what extent I'll be able to be around online; my computer has picked up some incredibly persistent malware and wrestling with it is...sucking and my computer in general is sucking and I am about ready to kill things.
Not a happy camper here. |

Well, not really. But I seem to have been dreaming about LJ last night. Snapple had deleted allican_take's account, and Hippolyta had a new PB. |

I will have more Djehutymes icons soon, hopefully! I rented the movie from which most of his current ones come, and am very pleased. |

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon. |
