I'd like to write Tywin. Sure, he's a massive douche nozzle that is unredeemable but I can at least understand his motives and I think I could get down with him as a character.

JEOR MORMONT: Okay, Moose wanted a non-villainous character, wish granted. Lord Commander Mormont is yours. DAVOS: A humble, sensible man of the sea who's suffered a lot of loss but shares a touching surrogate-father relationship with Shireen. Loogs is already writing the latter, and overall Davos just feels like a lock for her. DOLOROUS EDD: He's dour, sardonic, and perpetually underappreciated despite always coming through for the Night's Watch. This is either a Biscuit or a Choobs noun. BRONN: Meanwhile here's Ninety just popping in to have a good time and acquire rapturous acclaim. MISSANDEI: A tactful and classy advisor who has a gift with languages - this is a clear gimme for either Loogs or Pohatu. It depends on who's writing Daenerys, and I have to confess at this point that I've held off assigning her because she's by far my least favorite A-list character and it'd feel like I was insulting someone, so another watcher who has a more favorable view of her should do the honors. Daenerys is not an exception to the "Pohatu hates on 'ae' characters" rule. (Neither is Petyr Baelish for that matter.)

Okay, here's my contribution: Teen WolfScott McCallThe hero who came by his wolfiness by accident, he refuses to let into his nature and spend all of his time trying to better himself and do what is right instead of what is easy. His determination to do what is right can cause the plot to slow down, but he follows his heart and sees it through. I say Lee. Stiles StilinskiSarcastic sidekick to Scott, but with an entire presence of his own. He's the chaotic to Scott's lawful, super analytical and often the first to resort to the fastest option as opposed to doing what's right. He's known for his sarcastic humour and mild abrasiveness, but good heart hidden under a cynical cover. I say me!Kira YukimuraTransfer student and child to one of the teachers, Kira is a kitsune and daughter to another kitsune. While a bit awkward, she has incredible power that she can't completely control, despite wanting to use it to help her friends. At first, I was like ch00bs, but now I'm like DLDerek HaleMoody former-Alpha of Beacon Hills, he abdicated his power to save his sister despite fighting for the power itself. He's abrasive, gruff and antisocial, but he's always doing what is right in his eyes. Even if that's trying to kill teenagers. I wanna say BiscuitAllison ArgentBorn into the Argent family, her duty is to fight and detain the supernatural. However, her personal bonds cause her to rise above that and aim to protect those who need protecting. I'm not saying I wrote Illiana first, but Allison has to be me, though I might also say LeeOkay I'll add more later because my character descriptions are sucking right now

YA PAL LOOGS PRESENTSUN-ROLEPLAY: RECESS EDITIONBECAUSE I DON'T WATCH COOL THINGS LIKE GAME OF THRONES AND THE NEAREST AND DEAREST PIECES OF MEDIA TO ME ARE DUMB SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS** this is actually a brilliantly written children's show for those of you who have never seen itI actually read part of Dis to do this one so there u go. Recess, for those who don't know, is an old Disney cartoon that ran from 1997-2003, and it's about the lives of these fourth-graders who get into convoluted shenanigans n shit. so without further ado: T.J. DETWEILEROur de facto Idiot Hero and the leader of the main six. He’s adventurous and extroverted (and kind of dumb too), so many would say that T.J. is a Loogs character. Normally I would agree (let’s not forget that Hector’s first incarnation was partially loosely based on these kinds of Western animation stupid boy types) but Teej is actually a pretty competent leader and can execute some really great heists?? It’s almost like Pohatu and I collaborated on writing a character. Shrug VINCE LASALLEAn athletic, competitive kid whose biggest flaw is how egotistical he is? I’m giving this one to Elliot, though a case can be made for Lee if Lee were to write a slightly more endearing version of his narcissist characters. ASHLEY SPINELLIThe toughest cookie on the playground who still manages to be the most adorable little creampuff. This is a job for none other than that Lee guy! Like please she’s so Alma it hurts. She solves problems with her fists first and she’s quite plucky and I love her she’s one of my favorites. GRETCHEN GRUNDLERShe’s highly intelligent, she’s completely unathletic, and she’s perfectionistic to the bitter end. This one’s for Pohatu. Once again, a case can be made for Lee if you cite Blaise as evidence (Gretchen can be a bit of a poindexter but she’s a much more sympathetic incarnation of this type; see Menlo for the unsympathetic side of the coin) BONUS ROUND: she’s good with a yo-yo MIKEY BLUMBERGHe’s a big ol’ softie with a penchant for poetry and he’s this sweetie who hates violence and injustice because his parents were hippies. I want to give this one to myself since Ivan is very similar in that he’s a pasty, chubby, easygoing blondie; however if anyone else wants to provide a good dissenting opinion feel free. GUS GRISWOLD Poor Gus, he’s a real wimp and he’s kind of naïve. Here’s the thing though: the cowardly exterior is hiding this secret Badass who’s deadly good at dodgeball and shit like that. He comes from a military family so that makes me want to automatically assign him to DL, even though Gus isn’t particularly stoic. This is another collab one where I come in to give DL’s writing a touch of vulnerability a la Epsilon Psinora (because I just know Lee was waiting for it) Stay tuned for maybe part 2 with the villains? ?

TJ is short for Terrian Jr. Now hear me out on this one, Gus is actually an SV character. And yeah, you've got Spinelli and Mikey pegged. Gretchen is a hard call... she's smart, but she's also too vulnerable to be a Lee character. Have we considered Blood/Cendra?

Yeah I dunno if Gretchen's my jam, I don't often write characters who are Einstein-style intelligent.
Vince is 100% an Elliot character though
p.s. watch game of thrones

yah man Gretch and Gus were the hardest to call, really. Pohatu seemed like the closest fit out of everyone here but I knew that the sciencey hyper-intelligence part was definitely more Blaise. But Gretchen isn't as annoying or pedantic so I don't know if I'd give her to Lee either! Maybe she's a Choobs character??

YES KIDS IT'S TIME FORUN-ROLEPLAY RECESS PART 2: THE SECONDARY CHARACTERSwhat really kills me about putting these together is that the most expressive screenshots of these characters also happen to be the grossest and most low-res pictures available. shrug here goes: MS. FINSTERThe authoritarian teacher who oversees recess and sees to it that there is No Fun Allowed™ on the playground. I actually quite like Finster because I’m a sucker for powerful witch types. (see: Little Mermaid’s Ursula) I’ll give it to Silumas or DL for their ability to write draconian hardasses. RANDALLGod, he’s the worst. Randall is Finster’s personal snitch and nobody likes him because he's a notorious suck-up. For some reason I’m feeling like Pohatu can write a really good snitch. And he’d make a real good pair for the next guy… MENLOMenlo is the assistant of the school receptionist, and he’s not going to let you forget that. A real poindexter for the ages and excessively organized. I’m confident that Lee would write a Menlo so irritating it’d make me tear all my hair out. Together with Pohatu!Randall, they would be the ultimate annoyance team. (pictured: Lee and Pohatu, being The Worst™)LAWSONThe school bully and the most obnoxious kid you’ll ever know who is smugger than he has any right to be. Oh my god Elliot gets Lawson so hard. Which will be interesting, because Elliot also has Vince, with whom he’s got a bit of a rivalry going. THE ASHLEYSThe alpha pack of rich, snobby fashionistas. The only one that really stands out in the series is Ashley A., so I’m doing these as a group. And surprise, Elliot gets all four Ashleys. ~*Scandalous*~KING BOBKing of all the playground. Despite his haughtiness, he’s generally a benevolent and just king. Another one where I’m tempted to ascribe him to DL by default, but the impatience and the general brattiness makes me want to say that Elliot snuck in to collab a little. PRINCIPAL PRICKLEYThe principal of Third Street School. Strict but not to the extent that Finster is, just kind of an ornery dude. Man, I don’t know, I was holding out on assigning him because to tell you the truth I have no idea. The fact that he’s something of a misunderstood tyrant makes me think that the closest fit would be Lee. also sometimes he's portrayed as a sort-of father figure for TJ, so there's your Miko-Hector dynamic right there BUT WAIT IT'S TIME FOR THE B-B-B-BONUS ROUND:MISS GROTKEThe main six's teacher, a real kind and nurturing soul. I wonder what kind of author would write such an eccentric, idealistic, staunchly leftist woman of color? hint: it's.....its me

Finster is a leathery old badass, if the movie's canon. Which means she's gottabe either a Lee or Biscuit. King Bob seems more like a clicker character, tbh. seems like her kind of jerk. the entire kindergarten is clicker as well. and prickley, i wanna say either bb or pohatu. good call on grotke. the movie even flaunts that she's actually a talented martial artist, and seemingly harmless folks that pop their claws and go badass is very much a loogs trait.

the real question is what is it with me and getting assigned all these hippie type characters If we didn't appeal to RPer stereotypes in this topic, the topic wouldn't exist. I actually gave you a pretty diverse crew in Game of Thrones, you should probably watch it

Rewatching some Weiss clips and I have decided she is 100% Elliot and not DL.

HEY WHAT’S UP SHITLORD I BET YOU WEREN’T EXPECTINGUN-ROLEPLAY: OVERWATCH EDITION, PART UNOIN OTHER NEWS: PROCRASTINATION FROM YOUR OWN COMIC PROJECTS IS GOOD AND COOLPost-college has had me trying to work on my big comics project in between making pizzas for money and playing video games that make me extremely angry. That being said, I thought I’d do this for the Funsies™ because Overwatch is such an ensemble-reliant game and manages to do some real nice storytelling despite not having much of a narrative in the game proper. Anyway, let’s get started: LENA “TRACER” OXTONOh I’m sorry did you mean to say wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey British lesbian HectorI don’t need to make too much of an elaborate case for this one. Let’s see: fearless adventurer hero always ready to fight for what’s right despite the odds, check. Unwavering optimism, check. Cool hair, check. Ridiculous, oversized tinted goggle shades, extremely check. Pretty damn queer, check. For fuck’s sake, she’s even nailed the part where she has way more alternate costumes than any other character on the roster, by far. Do I really need to go on? She’s literally just a dead ringer for Hector with Yoshimitsu’s skill set. This one’s mine by a mile. cheers, loveWINSTONResident hyperintelligent gorilla with a tendency to misinterpret basic social cues and behind a gentle giant temperament, harboring the potential to go absolutely apeshit, if you’ll pardon my pun. I know I’ve had trouble placing the scientist-like characters in the past, but I really do believe that this one has to go to Lee. It just feels… right this time. Winston happens to be one of my mains, so I feel like I’ve spent enough time with him to make this call, trust me. JACK “SOLDIER:76” MORRISONA grizzled old soldier who works hard and takes no nonsense. This time around I am absolutely confident that this one has to go to DL. The man said it himself: he writes cold and militaristic, and I can think of no one better to carry out the task of writing this stoic war veteran-turned-vigilante. Plus, the official lore says that his motives for fighting all come from a personal mission to get to the bottom of all the shady dealings that led to the fall of Overwatch, and I feel like that’s pretty much in King’s Men’s wheelhouse. GABRIEL “REAPER” REYESA fallen hero reborn as an undying assassin with a hell of a vendetta and a thirst for blood. Honestly, this could go one of two ways. If we’re talking about Reaper in purely superficial terms, as the cartoonishly evil edgelord in a cloak swinging his guns around like a god damn Beyblade of death growling DIE DIE DIE? Then it goes to Prime, no contest. But if we’re talking Gabriel Reyes, the more, uh, nuanced antihero (or villain, depending on your perspective on the situation)? Then I can easily hand this off to Silumas and know that he would do justice by the character in a way that keeps him interesting instead of turning him into a one-note caricature. I should also mention that Silumas has historically played well off of DL, so the theoretical rivalry between Reapermas and DragonLord:76 would still kick ass. ANGELA “MERCY” ZIEGLEROverwatch’s chief field medic, a staunch pacifist who valiantly puts her life on the line to save those of others, after losing her parents to the ravages of war. Can we all agree that this one automatically goes to Lee? Look, she’s even got that angelic aesthetic he was trying to go for back in the day. Mercy is actually reluctant to team up with Overwatch, since they are a military operation after all, but she knows that she could never carry out her vision without their help and resources... which sounds oddly familiar. And as a Mercy main, I can tell you that Mercy (and her devout practitioners) has a wee bit of a martyr complex. Which was kind of Thyra’s thing for the longest time, right? Lee written all over this sonuvabich I tell ya DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY MORE OVERWATCHES COMING SOON IN PART TWO so much for getting important adult things done i guess
