Jan. 2nd, 2009 10:24 amThe Boy: Xander LaVelle Used-To-Be-Harris Carson, alumnus
Xander is a normal human with no special powers, but he's spent years fighting evil supernatural creatures as part of a team, both at home and in Fandom. He's 28 (give or take 75 years, thx Weeping Angels), stupid-in-love with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bridge_carson, BFF's with Willow Rosenberg (willbedone) and generally a laid-back, jokey kind of guy unless you're evil or mess with his People. He's also missing an eye; he wears a patch and is perfectly comfortable with pirate jokes of all colors. Not so comfortable with the prosthetic eye behind said patch, so not a lot of people know it's there. He also has a tattoo. That precisely three people have seen. ( But wait, there's more. )
The Girl: Helen Francine unless it's Francine Helen but anyway she goes by Francine Peters, student
Also normal, human, mostly unpowered**, tall, dark-haired, kind of goofy... Hunh, I know there was something she had that Xander doesn't... Two of them, in fact. *eyes icon* Oh yeah, right. Eyes. But in appearance, she could definitely be Xander's younger sister, at least until she opens her mouth. She's both much less sarcastic, and possessed of a soft Tennessee-by-way-of-Texas drawl. Her definition of normal is a lot more normal than his, too; Francine's canon, Strangers in Paradise, is for the most part a dramedy version of the real world, with very faint supernatural elements. And the Lesbian Mafia. ( But wait, there's more. )
The...Slightly Older Girl: Eliza Doolittle, townie
Eliza's only powers are a fierce temper when riled and the ability to look like Audrey Hepburn, but sound like Marnie Nixon when she sings. She's a scrappy twenty-one-year-old flower-girl off the streets of London who got turned into a proper lady by two experts in phonetics; she can still be snarky on occasion, but she's learned to express it in a ladylike manner. Since she's more self-confident now, she's less defensive and confrontational, and tends to be quite gentle with those who treat her the same way. In a pinch, though, she can screech like a banshee, and probably take out an eye in a catfight. ( But wait, there's more. In a different post. )
The Me: Pleased to meet you
Man, my Meez is freaky-accurate. Though much thinner. And taller. Then again everybody's taller than me, with a few gratifying exceptions. So availability: I'm on the crack-addled western edge of the Eastern timezone (srsly, we just adopted Daylight Savings Time last year), so despite being an hour and a half from Chicago, I'm on New York time. I work weekdays 8 to 5, more or less, and am sometimes available to play (and on IM) during those hours, sometimes not. I can usually answer e-mail, though, even if I'm busy. After 5 on weekdays, and most waking hours on weekends, I'm probably on IM. ( But wait, there's more. )
*I am not a ho.
