User blog:Krahka/Ideas You Should Be Worried About

Aight so I got into this shit because Jefardi is an IRL friend of mine as well as someone I RP with pretty regularly. He came to me one day and was like "OKAY so I need a stupid weapon for my character based on this dude in the Iliad for an RP based on some animu thing where fairy tale and mythological and occasionally historical characters fight monsters with stupid weapons." And then I was like "Okay, those are like, literally all my favorite things in the entire world, yes." And then we talked about design and eventually I was all "Fuckit, let's see what the hype's about." And then Things Happened and here I am.

So I have a million ideas for a million OCs, only a very few of which'll ever happen, since ideas are cheap, especially when there is an almost infinite number of seeds to make characters in this setting. As many ideas for me as there have been ideas from the human race. Which is AWESOME

So let's categorize them a bit.

Pre-20th Century Stories

 * John Henry - American - Okay yeah what if he beat Grimm to death with a drill or fuckin' hammer. And he became a Huntsman to DIE WITH A HAMMER IN HIS HANDS, OH LORD, DIE WITH A HAMMER IN HIS HANDS. (It'd definitely be just a fucking hammer, because I feel like making a super high-technological hammer would be very missing the point.) But like, someone's gotta build those railroads that connect the Kingdoms and those someones would be in A LOT of danger.
 * Nanabozho /Wisakedjak - Algonquian/Cree - Yeah, so leaning a little more Nobozho since I know a lot more about Anishinaabe kinda folks than about the Cree kinda folks. But they're both pretty similar, and either way, he's a creator/trickster of the more benevolent type. He runs around lying and tricking people but in the end, it's to keep people on their toes so that they know how to live their lives. So I was thinking of a teacher of some kind that everyone hates because she (I'd genderbend because why not) would constantly be lying about stuff and tricking people who weren't paying attention into doing more work than necessary but would give out great grades to the people in class who actually participated.
 * Hans-My-Hedgehog - German - This is one of those Grimm's fairy tales that are way too weird for Disney, but definitely weird enough for Jim Henson . So mostly this is my excuse to play a hedgehog faunus who rides around on a rooster and that wields bagpipes in combat. (The Jim Henson version forgot that bit, but the bettermyths version did not.)
 * Gerda - Hans Christian Anderson - OKAY SO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE SNOW QUEEN? NOT FROZEN YOU DUNCE, THE ACTUAL SNOW QUEEN. Anyway, the original is one of my absolute favorite fairy tales because it's an incredibly cool adventure story with a lot of heart to it and absolutely no holds barred. Gerda and Kai are BFFs in the city in Denmark or something, and things are great until this freakin' demon decides to make a mirror that reflects things as ugly in proportion to their beauty, and he decided to take it up to Heaven to see the angels in it, but it slipped and shattered and the shards went all over the world to ruin everything. (THANKS GOD) The smaller pieces can get into people's eyes and hearts and stuff, making them unable to see beauty, and rendering their hearts cold and hard. So one of those gets into Kai's eyes, and he decides that there's nothing in this world worth anything but snowflakes, and then he runs off with the Snow Queen, who is not Elsa but more of a malevolent fey. Then Gerda goes on adventures to go rescue him, with the help of her friends, the robber girl, the Lappish woman and the Finnish woman, saves her best friend and they live happily ever after, and the moral of the story is Jesus. And I fucking <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">love <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> this story, it is literally one of my favorites. I JUST NEED HER AND/OR THE LITTLE ROBBER GIRL SOMEWHERE OKAY
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.5;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">King Gesar - Tibetan/Altaic in general - OKAY so if you see me and Jef talking about singing to the Melody of A, or about how if you understand this song, it will be brown sugar for your ears, and if you don't, that we will not repeat it, a film about this guy's epic is responsible for it. Anyway, he's kind of a national epic, but is the kind of national epic where no one has ever bothered to write down a definitive version, so people keep coming up with YET MORE parts to the story and having a hundred zillion variations of it, but the point is that Gesar is the King of Ling, and he does a bunch of shit and is pretty cool and honestly I don't know anything at all about him even after having spent a ton of time trying to understand this story.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.5;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Scarecrow - Wizard of Oz - So we've already got like, two canon Oz characters but they happen to be my least favorite Oz characters, so whatever. Anyway, Scarecrow is my favorite character that people who had normal childhoods that didn't involve reading LITERALLY EVERY OZ BOOK THAT L. FRANK BAUM HAS EVER WRITTEN would know about. But yeah, I like him because he's really, really clever and intelligent, except that he's also absolutely convinced that he's completely stupid, and I like that because it reminds me of someone I know. (NOT ME DEFINITELY NOT ME who am i even kidding it's me) He might be an android, might not, I'd have to think of things. I also like the idea of him just going up to Ozpin and being all "Shit shit, I can't pass any of my classes but I NEED to graduate," and Ozpin being like "Congratulations, here's your diploma, you are now a fully qualified Huntsman, congratulations!" And he's like "WOW" and Ozpin's like "OKAY I GOTTA GO NOW REAL QUICK BYYYYEEEEEEEEE~" and flies away in a balloon because he's been faking this entire time.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.5;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Momus - Greek - Okay so Momus is the God of Laughter and Satire and Trolling and it is for that reason that I am interested in him, because I have a character who was originally a Mass Effect OC who was a 1337 h4x0r who spent his days fighting crime in between being the biggest fucking loser who has ever existed. He's followed me to Star Wars and I think he could follow me here, since I'm not really RPing ME or SWTOR anymore with much regularity. But yeah, I remembered Momus because one time someone gave me an AU drabble prompt for him in the Roman Empire and I was like "But what about computers?" and then decided that he was just plain a follower of Momus. Anyway, RPing as this little fuckshit is what brings me life, and I need some of that life force within me, and trust me, it'll be great.

 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.5;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Tribunal (Almalexia, Sotha Sil , Vivec ) - The Elder Scrolls. So yeah, I'm a bit of an Elder Scrolls nerd, (okay a LOT of an Elder Scrolls nerd) and my favorite folks in that universe are three asshole false deities who ruined everything, ruining my life specifically. I really like the idea of a team with the three of them, plus Nerevar, but I doubt that I'll actually find three other people who are in the intersection between RWBY roleplaying and having a hardon for the First Council. But naw man, Almalexia'd get her LIGHTNING SCIMITAR, and Sotha Sil would be mostly a steampunk-tastic cyborg and Vivec? Yeah, let's not talk about the other uses of his spear. Anyway, I love those jerks, even if they totally definitely murdered me in a past life.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.5;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dr. Leonard McCoy - Star Trek: TOS - Okay, so like, there's this one episode of Star Trek where the fine folks of the Enterprise encounter some kinda energy being/ghosty that feeds off fear by possessing folks and then murdering the shit out of everyone, specifically women, for extremely sexist reasons. So long story short, this thing possesses the Enterprise's systems and is like "AHHAHAA I'MMA MAKE THIS SHIP INTO A SPOOKY SCARY SHIP AND THEN KILL YOU ALL ONCE YOU'RE SUFFICIENTLY FREAKED OUT" and then Kirk is like "Okay, we need to find a way to keep the crew from freaking out because otherwise this thing'll get stronger. Bones, what'cha got in terms of sedatives?" And Bones is like "Well, I'm just a simple country doctor with enough drugs in my medicine cabinet to get all four hundred and twenty-eight souls aboard this fine vessel high enough that if we ever were out of fuel and needed to get into orbit, we could just give everyone the good shit and we'll be out of the atmosphere in no time." And Spock is like "Yes, it is completely logical to keep that many drugs around for medical purposes. It would appear your time has come." So basically what I'm getting at is that Grimms feed off bad vibes, this stupid space ghost fed off bad vibes, and y'know what? The way they dealt with their problem would probably be a good way to deal with this problem. Anyway, the moral of this story is that I'd play a doctor who goes into towns attacked by Grimms and be like "HEY GUESS WHAT DON'T PANIC I GOT SOME DRUGS" and they're all like "What?" and then he shoots them up and they're all riding high and the Grimms are ran off by the power of narcotics.

 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.5;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">NIKOLA TESLA - HOW MUCH SHIT CAN I DO WITH ELECTRIC DUST? ALL THE SHIT. ALL OF IT. I WILL THEN PROCEED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A PIGEON. (characters based on Hatoful Boyfriend are <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">encouraged <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> though the heartbreak from that game is too fresh in my heart)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.5;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Lyudmila Pavlichenko - SNIPE ALL THE THINGS! Because come ON there is NOTHING that isn't improved by the greatest Nazi hunter who's ever lived. Like, I think you've noticed that most of my ideas imply old dudes? Yeah, young chick, Nazi sniper, perfect Beacon material.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.5;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Franz Boaz - PAPA FRANZ! :D So he's the daddy of my variety of anthropology, and is the REAL DADDY and we DON'T TALK ABOUT THOSE OTHER DADDYS because they were HUGE FUCKING JACKOFF RACISTS HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Anyway, I'm thinking he's a Huntsman/Anthropologist who's taken up the cause of making sure that the folks who live outside the Kingdoms are protected, and if they can't be protected, they will be remembered. Because like, salvage anthropology is definitely a thing that very much needs to be done in this setting.
