DUMB CHARACTER MEME.

Eleanor

Ok so we all love an excuse to get wanky about our characters, right? I thought it'd be fun to fill out one of those dumb survey memes for our characters, so I've made a list of things! Copy it, paste it, fill it out, get fancy with linking pictures and videos, all that good stuff. Also it's more interesting if you explain your choices!

What would your character be as...

• A type of weather
• Something from the kitchen
• Something from the nineties
• A flower/plant
• A fruit/vegetable

An item of jewelry

A book

This one is hands down Finnegans Wake. I was a minor Joyce scholar in college (took 3 classes on his work) and Finnegans wake was a big influence in developing who Moi ended up becoming. Her wings room is based on the first (last?) line of the boom and the Prankquean really helped inspire Moirean.

"...And the prankquean nipped a paly one and lit up again and redcocks flew flackering from the hillcombs. And she made her witter before the wicked, saying: Mark the Twy, why do I am alook alike two poss of porterpease? And Shut! says the wicked, hand-wording her madesty. So her madesty a forethought set down a jiminy and took up a jiminy and all the lilipath ways to Woeman's Land she rain, rain, rain. And Jarl van Hoother blethered atter her with a loud finegale: Stop domb stop come back with my earring stop. But the prankquean swaradid: Am liking it."

http://www.english.txstate.edu/cohen_p/postmodern/Joyce.html

my essay from uni about her:

[spoiler]Prankquean (prngk kwn)

n. v? adj…(?): prankqeen, phrankquean, prenkquean, pq, qp, etc, et al, so forth, and on, foriverever:

[high Joycean(see FW), Indo-Europhean roots, from also: Olde Engleesh]

The Prankqueen is an enigmatic figure of mythos, largely and initially discovered amongst the pages of the English language¹ novel Finnegans Wake, by James Joyce. Many scholars consider her origins to be literary in nature, though mild debate is documented on the subject. Her role is no less nebulous, though a firmly distinct scatological connection can tenuously be made, further supported by her coprological associations.

Some claims have been made that the prankquean (PQ) draws her lineage from the sundry collection of ephemeral folk known as “faeries,” infamous for their bad jokes and distorted sense of time and season, for her riddling assaults and collection of personages seem to confound the standardized passage of time and space, most notably her watery modes of transportation. However, counter arguments have been presented, citing her use of confiscation and conversion to debate that her parentage does not spring from the deep roots of Celtic myth, but instead grows from the history of conquest and imposition of foreign beliefs Ireland has been subject to since its near inception.

Perhaps most interesting is her transcendence of form and function, flitting between various bodies and conversations to shadow the speakers with repetitions of her insistent questions. “Why do I am alook alike a poss of porterpease?” Why, indeed.

Still others stoutly declare that she is nothing more than a personification of Ireland’s melancholy, driven to drink, piss and ask damn annoying questions to all she encounters.

1 Substantial debate exists upon this classification. For ease of reference, we will assume FW is, indeed, scribed in a known language.[/spoiler]

A toy

a noisemaker

A hairstyle

pigtails

An item of furniture

A style of architecture

Deconstructivism:

It is characterized by fragmentation, an interest in manipulating a structure's surface or skin, non-rectilinear shapes which appear to distort and dislocate elements of architecture, such as structure and envelope. The finished visual appearance of buildings that exhibit deconstructivist "styles" is characterized by unpredictability and controlled chaos.

A sport

Canine freestyle dancing:

A board game

Solitaire

An art movement/particular artwork

Hieronymus Bosch

Hurrican Moirean

Something from the kitchen

A pressure cooker.

<Moirean> hmm

<Moirean> not sure on that one

<Xenia> <_<

<Moirean> a pressure cooker?

<Moirean> oh apparently terrorists use pressure cookers to make bombs

<Moirean> yeah that'll work to describe Moi

<Everlong> lawl

Something from the nineties

I mentioned this in the theme songs thread already. I really would love for Moi to be sexy smoky jazz or blistering blues, but, let's face it, she's country - sad, angry, gloomy, upbeat, take your pick, but all with a comical potential because of TWANG.

An Aetolia premote:

If Aetolia was a movie, your character would be played by:

Peter Dinklage:

or Lori petty:

If they were in DnD or another tabletop, their class would be:

Rogue 

Their DnD alignment would be:

Their theme song:

Depends on the mood/plot of the moment and I post a ton in the theme songs thread, but every time I hear this song, I go, yeah, that's Moi, on some level: Hurt, by Trent Reznor.

I'd just like to ask what the 'merican definition of "wanky" is, because that sentence right there means something completely different in the UK.
