MEME: Reverse Questions

[girlalmighty]

Hey, before I forget and pass out, here's your Monday meme!

Tag in with all the characters you play. Then ask each other questions. Questions may be from the player or the characters themselves, but answers must come from the player, since of course, you can't really trust a character always to answer truthfully. Anything goes, whether they're questions about specific tags, plots, feelings, characters, or just general gameplay questions.

I'm Leah and I play:

Russell Clank from The Crazies
Andrea from The Walking Dead comic
Lily from Black Swan

Has Andrea surprised you in any way since you started playing her?

[boo_fuckin_yah]

This answer sort of hinges on the fact that I transferred her from TR. Canonically, Andrea's really free emotionally. She makes no attempt to hide it when she cares about someone, which is part of what I love so much about her -- anyone who can live through what she's lived through and still want so badly to love people and be loved in return is amazing to me. I didn't set out to ship her with anyone when I brought her to TR, but she and Laine's Sam Flynn kind of fell into something anyway and it had only just started when I decided to transfer her at Darrow.

What surprises me is that she's still clinging to the hope that Sam might come here, too. Or Dale or Rick or any of the men she's loved/thought she could love. I didn't exactly expect her to move on right away, but I've been surprised by how vehemently opposed she really is to moving on in my head.

And the fact that she's so readily taken on caring for Clementine. The story she told Mike about the twin boys she was caring for really traumatized her and she's always wanted kids, but now pretty much thinks she doesn't deserve them. So that she jumped into caring for Clementine without too much worry was a bit of a wonderful surprise.

Would Russell ask Saffron out on a real date? :)

And for a less selfish question, lol: what was the deciding factor for you in transferring Andrea and Lily?

[boo_fuckin_yah]

It might take him a few not-dates first before he would actually ask her out. He's weird about dating, in that he was brought up with more old fashioned views of relationships and so dating is kind of a big deal for him. He's still a dude and thinks about getting laid basically ALL THE TIME, but he was also brought up to be a gentleman toward women, even if he runs his mouth off and doesn't speak in a very gentlemanly manner around them. XD Which is a long winded way of saying yes, probably, but it would take time.

My answer for Andrea is that I just want to be playing her everywhere and always. I love her SO MUCH, so playing her at two games is even better than playing her at one! Lily, though, took more consideration. It killed me to drop her at TR because of her relationships, particularly with Sawyer and Faye. She'd lost most of her friends by the time I dropped her, but those two relationships were extremely important in shaping her and that was hard for me. But at the same time, I knew her story was coming to a close there. TR isn't the right game for her, not in the long run, and I love playing her, so I knew I didn't want to drop her completely. Darrow offers more opportunity for her, more ways for her to grow and change and some of her friends were already here, which meant I didn't have to set her back entirely.

Awww, precious. Well, either way he will benefit from being her neighbor in the form of her cooking him dinner and/or preparing various baked goods for him semi-regularly. :D

How is Russell such a ~ladies man~~~~~?

What is the hardest thing to play with Lily so far?

[boo_fuckin_yah]

LMAOOOOO. <--- That is Russell's reaction, not mine. My reaction is that it's clearly his moustache. All his magic is in there. XD

The hardest thing about playing Lily anywhere is finding that balance between the villain Nina sees her as and the person she really is. Because sometimes she can do awful things and she's disconnected from people in some ways, but playing someone who's completely disconnected gets difficult and isn't much fun in the long run, so I've had to find a way for her to slowly become attached to certain people without changing who she is. Which has been tough, but also a lot of fun and even though she's ignoring it now (and can ignore it, because she has Eden and Eames here), it's going to give me lots to work with when she finally starts to acknowledge that she misses Nina and Faye and Sawyer.

What inspired you to play Russell?

Andrea: Do you bring anything in from the tv canon?

[boo_fuckin_yah]

I love Joe Anderson's face. >.> That's actually at least half the reason. When I was trying to think of who I wanted to app or transfer, I was at a point where I wasn't ready to transfer anyone. There wasn't anyone who I felt like I had to app at that point, so I was trying to decide if I wanted a badass or a normal person and when I watched The Crazies again, I realized Russell was both and that he had Joe Anderson's face, which is one of my favourite faces EVER.

Nope. No TV canon at all, because I hate what they did to her character on the show. Honestly, the Andrea on the show is an entirely different character. She hasn't had any of the same storylines or arcs (except having to kill her sister) and she's doesn't have any of the same characteristics that make Andrea so interesting to me. I consider them completely different canons anyway, given how different the show is in so many ways, and the comic gives me much more to work with when it comes to her. ♥ comic book Andrea.

I need to watch this Crazies show.

Also I must read TWD comic. And um... Watch the show.

I am the worst comic fangirl EVER.
