Snake Plissken

If you were to die tomorrow, what unfinished business would keep you here? Who/what/where would you haunt?


You'd think I'd say the government. Could really fuck with them. Some more of the bastards would blow their brains out but got to thinking that I wouldn't haunt shit. What you'd get is some people getting fucked if they messed with mine after I was gone. My family's the only thing keeping me here. It's why I'm not wandering aimlessly all over the fucking place right now. If anything was going to keep me from leaving it would be them.

It's time for another list full of lists:

5 Reasons you would never ask your friends for advice.
They don't tell me "no" enough.

What aspect of your character do you find the most challenging? This could be something physical, like a disability or an allergy. It might also be their lifestyle, their sleep habits, or a particular personality trait. These are just a few examples -- have fun with this and see what you can come up with !

For Snake:
I think the hardest aspect is to play his low points. I guess it is a disability. I really have a hard time switching gears from his really aggressive, don't fuck with me attitude to the broken side of who he is. It is part of his Post Traumatic. That part of himself that sees Snake Plissken as a failure that has let everyone and everything he cares about die. There's a sense of despair to this part of his personality that brings me down too and makes it hard to play.


For Ian:
Ian's is obvious. Always having the right answer is hard to play. It is a lot of time spent looking up theories and formulas and knowledge. I study/studied things very similar to his expertise in college but he is that much more. He is supposed to always be right no matter what. That is a very difficult thing to play.

For Peninnah:
Hands down it has to be her lack of judgment. People like to judge others, we form opinions. As muns we have opinions about the personality of a character. Peninnah has no judgment of anyone. So I have to set all opinions aside, all thoughts of self preservation and fear have to be set aside. Peninnah is true neutral and compassionate. That is a very difficult mindset to get into. The idea that she is just as likely to help a serial killer that wants to kill her as she is a child is a difficult thing to remember.

For Rosie:
Here it is the need to not get too serious. Rosie doesn't like to be serious and doesn't take most things to that point. She's here to just live and have fun. On days when I'm stressed she is impossible to play because her mindset is so far from what I feel. Despite the difficulty her personality makes a great uplifting point to play.

Deadwood, SD. America's last authentic wild west town. That's main street in Deadwood.


That's my parent's house just a few blocks back from Main Street. House ain't there anymore. Bastards burnt it down but that's where I was.

The first thought is always a dragon but it doesn't suit me. Really what I would have to be is a griffin. They're used to symbolize nobility, loyalty, wisdom and strength. I can't see anyone disagreeing with that except for those bastards in the USPF. For them, the griffin appears out of nowhere and is destructive, aggressive and war like. There, shut all the bastards up. Add the fact that in modern fiction they're depicted as careful and defensive parents and you ain't going to see an argument about a griffin being me. (We'll conveniently forget about that divine power shit applied to them.)

All that shit aside, I would love to fly. I wouldn't want to be a mythical creature unless the damned thing had wings. They look sleek to me like a sports car or a fighter jet. Dragons don't look that streamlined and efficient.

( Apparently they come in black too )

1. How does procrastination factor into your writing habits?
Procrastination is the reason I write. Those days you see me posting piles of fics usually means I'm not doing something else that I am dreading in RL. Most of my writing and rp in fact are done when I don't want to do something else.

2. How much does it hold you back?
Procrastination rarely holds me back. However, if I procrastination too long I'll write too much and get that blank head feeling. (You know what I'm talking about, where you feel like there are just no more words left in your head.) That usually takes a day or two to recover from.

3. What do you do to put off your writing?
Do what I'm avoiding? I like to write and write often so putting myself off from writing is a big part of motivating myself to do RL things sometimes.

4. What, if anything, do you tell yourself to turn yourself off from the writing urge?
I play a game where I allow myself to write one story and then work on what I need to do for an equivalent amount of time or one story = accomplishing one thing on my to-do list. Yes, I bribe myself and I am not ashamed of it. XD
