sharp_as_knivesNobody new, but I can't resist a bandwagon, so - people!
Jalian d'Arsennette y ken Selvren
Or, "Jalian of the Fires of the clan of people with silver eyes".
PB: Jasmine Sanders. Pity my Photoshop skills.
Yes, her eyes are actual, metallic-looking silver (with a sort of oil-slick rainbow effect). That would be related to the "Fires" up there. These are things that happen when one of your ancestresses wanders into a radioactive burn zone after the apocalypse. Her hair is pure white, and she gets chalky white instead of tan in the sun - those are things that happen when you survive a negative-entropy timeline. (We assume. Nobody else ever has, yet.)
Jalian is a Junior from a canon you probably don't know (but totally should and it's online for free and awesome) - Daniel Keys Moran's The Armageddon Blues. Original huge infopost here, but in brief: she's from a post-apocalyptic matriarchal warrior tribe that met a group of weird-looking aliens when Jalian was little, and she became best friends with one. As a result, Jalian is used to subsistence living and warring tribes and can hunt and kill with the best of them. She came to Fandom knowing almost nothing of modern science or culture (or English) other than what books and handed-down stories said. And she can also build, calibrate, and rewrite a cross-dimensional-and-time machine and other assorted really advanced technology.
She got here when she was trying to use such a machine to travel back along her own timeline to stop Armageddon; Fandom decided to grab her instead. Since then, she's learned to drive like a maniac, hack computers with a moderate amount of success, and use money (which she still thinks is hysterical). She is vegetarian, mostly still intolerant to processed sugar, bisexual, and still sort of boggling at the fact that many men are probably people, too. She can see from infrared to the fringes of gamma radiation, speak to other telepaths mind-to-mind, and move faster than modern human eyes can track. She has an impish sense of humor.
She lives in room 520 with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Hrothbert "Bob" of Bainbridge
This is Bob:
This is also Bob:
Bob is from Chicago, currently - specifically the Chicago of the TV version of The Dresden Files. Bob has been dead for over a thousand years. He knows a lot of magic, most of it extremely useful and a lot of it extremely dangerous. Just about all of it totally useless to him personally, since he is (barring island oddities or consensual possession) completely incorporeal. He's not generally going to say so, though. For one, it freaks some people out. For another, he likes startling people when they find out.
Bob is a teacher, mostly of things related to magic. He is a snarky, lecherous bastard that will never fear to tell you exactly what he thinks (of you or anything else). He has a soft spot for decent people, though he'd vehemently deny it. He's prone to wandering about the island and snooping when other people are asleep, since he never is.
Original infopost of length (with vids!) here.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter
Hannibal comes to Fandom from the world of his TV canon, where at the end of season 2 he fled to Fandom instead of France.
He's a man of the world (many, at this point). He's a trauma surgeon, a psychiatrist, an artist and illustrator, a gourmet chef, and a musician and composer. He tends toward the classic with a twist - Classical music, but also theremin. Three-piece suits, but plaid. Gourmet food, but made of people.
You know, little things.
He lives at 22 Phoenix Place with hispartner fiancé (how the hell did that happen?) furnaceface, Jono's cat Joni and his own cat Beethoven, and a mini-flock of (glittery, thanks to...you know, I completely forget who did it!) flamingos permanently camped on his lawn.
No, we have no idea how these two ended up together. It seems to work for them.
He's generally friendly to most folks (except Anakin Skywalker). He doesn't eat anybody on the island (except for those clones of Pinkie's one time, but in his defense they were really annoying, and also they tasted horrible and gave him flamingos). He doesn't feed anybody on the island human flesh except by prior OOC arrangement. But if he's making a meal for himself, there's a good chance it used to have a name.
His secret is known by Jono (whom he told),glacial_queen (whom their AU child told), and nuclear_snide (who possessed him).

Me!
Lorelei, aka Llwyden pretty much everywhere. From Georgia (US), currentlyreally hoping to leave living around Cleveland (OH, US), which puts me in the Eastern US time zone. Manager at a tech support company, personally doing mostly coding and database development. Work is STILL utterly crazy at the moment and no end in sight, so my tagging during the day is extremely spotty but I'm usually on evenings and weekends. (This and assorted anxiety things has left me really low on spoons lately, but if I ever drop a thread you don't want dropped, feel free to poke me - it's less likely that I'm not enjoying it and more likely I've just spaced and then felt guilty about picking it back up.)
I have multiple degrees, none of which are in tech - Master's in Folklore, BA in Linguistics, BS in Psychology which my mother is so pleased to know I'm finally putting to work. Also ABD in Comparative Literature, Arthurian focus (Middle Welsh, Old Irish, Old French, Old/Middle English). Complete and utter music geek. (I lettered in chorus!)
I love playing with pretty much anyone, so never fear to jump on in! I'm often available on AIM (Llwyden) or GChat (Hannibal's address) and sometimes even in IRC (slashnet - Llwyden again) and don't mind being pinged out of the blue (though I may or may not be prompt to answer). Always reachable from any of my characters' e-mail addresses (on their profiles).
I have a lot more video game addictions than I did a few years ago, for which I entirely blame this game (and I almost entirely blame Len). Very prone to SWTOR, mostly on the Sith side.

Since he's had several centuries with no way to attack anyone or defend himself except in conversation (but no way for anyone to really shut him up, either), he's developed a nuclear arsenal of snide. - Jim Butcher
