Well, they're not quite B.O.W.s but they'll do.

'Evening, Route! This is Dal again; I play Ishimaru (Dangan Ronpa), Kimblee (Fullmetal Alchemist) and Reaver (Fable), and I keep saying that one day I will play someone who is not completely socially stupid.

UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY. I'm bringing Alfred Ashford, from the Resident Evil series - his specific installment is Code: Veronica, and while he does come with major spoilers for that very closely attached, that particular piece of canon is literally thirteen years old and so things will be pretty out in the open, as they're pretty much "It Was His Sled" levels of known.

Personality-wise, Alfred is both rather deranged and more than a bit of a brat; he's driven by what amounts to abandonment issues combined with a massive inferiority complex (because wow being cloned sucks and being the 'weaker' twin out of a set of clones sucks harder), he's kind of gone crazy due to a lack of close human contact for over a decade, he has huge dissociative tendencies and he deals with all of the above by...dressing like his sister because everyone in this series is well-adjusted let me tell you. He's going to be working for Team Rocket at the start of this little adventure, trying not to fail at science, and hopefully figuring out why kicking his Durant in the face is not the smartest idea he's ever had.

In all seriousness, though, there are obviously a lot of things that might be considered problematic/offensive about the canon itself and Alfred's role in it; he does have a permissions/opt-out post, though, and I can always be poked at OOCly if there's something that needs to be discussed! If you need to reach me, AIM (AsylumBred) is probably your best bet, though I can also be PMed at this journal or poked on Plurk at InstantEternity - I don't usually add people on Plurk unless I know them, but private-plurking should be turned on. If it's not, please yell at me - for now, though, either do the hoverdance or:

And suddenly all I can think of is all those old-school Legendary Lillypad animations... Largely because that's all I know Alfred from. Please tell me the laugh was accurate.

[twinsanity]

It is with great pleasure and mild mortification that I can confirm that the laugh was, indeed, accurate.

[doitrockapella]

because wow being cloned sucks and being the 'weaker' twin out of a set of clones sucks harder

I'm going to forever imagine him as Liquid Snake now, thanks.

I'M CRACKING THE CODE HERE

[twinsanity]

my face

and hideous

...mostly hideous but there's beauty in it okay

[freshprints]

he should summon his pokemon someday with like a MROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWR

except by "pokemon" i mean like


a hill of ants

[twinsanity]

BECAUSE THAT'S ALL WE NEED

A FUCKING HILL

OF MADLY GASHUNKING ANTS

[freshprints]

He moves it into a closet somewhere in the team rocket basement and poor unsuspecting Rocket Grunt Dafi opens the door one day

and just slams it shut

and white-faced has to go ask somebody about WHY ARE THERE A MILLION GASHUNKING ANTS IN THE BROOM CLOSET DOES ANYONE KNOW

[blue_distance]

Oh god no don't do this to me, my main fandom is Resident Evil

I want to give you a castmate horribly badly, but Leon and Jill seem inappropriate for the setting and my Steve's not as strong as I'd want him to be before apping.

aughhhh

anyway hi, I play this socially stunted idiot, what's up

[twinsanity]

Castmates, you say...

...

if you want to voicetest ever I could find someone to throw at him I'm sure or we could always discuss details for the others and

YES ANYWAY, socially stunted idiots are kind of my thing as my entire lineup is composed of nothing but them

I will be looking forward to potential CR with...somebody, I'm sure!

[blue_distance]

considers tossing Steve in the voicetest meme

Okay! That said, I'm doubting Haru will actually find the energy to care about Alfred's eccentricities, so maybe there's hope, lmao.

[twinsanity]

you know you want to

Well, I am here with three others, so I'm sure CR will happen eventually (though probably not with Reaver. ...Hopefully not with Reaver); I am actually not familiar with Free! at all because I live under a rock like that, but I'm still interested in seeing where things go.

[blue_distance]

dang it this is happening

Free! is basically K-ON with swimmers instead of a band. It's pretty much about a bunch of guys shitting around and being cute together with occasional plot.

To be fair, it's actually genuinely funny and has nice characters, though.

[twinsanity]

I have been slow as hell responding to that thing but I will get on it!

I have heard good things about the actual series! The most I really know is via Tumblr osmosis, which is a little...uh, iffy at best, but what I've heard has mostly been positive. I'll have to look into it sometime; isn't it reasonably short, or is it just getting started?

[blue_distance]

re: Tumblr osmosis, it's pretty much insane amounts of homo subtext between everyone, which is... just like Madoka in that aspect, really. As someone who's not terribly invested in the yaoiz part of it, I was still very much able to enjoy it. Cute show, you're pretty much guaranteed to be horribly endeared to at least one character.

It's 9 out of 12 episodes right now, and there's also a prequel light novel called High Speed. So it's pretty short as far as canon goes.

Here is a clip that's pretty indicative of the majority of the show, although there are darker and more serious plotlines occasionally.

[chainred]

Holy shit, this is a blast from the past. This is going to be a real good one to watch in Route, that's for sure.

[twinsanity]

Haha, thank you! Hopefully I won't disappoint any.
