Date: 2007-10-04 09:51 pm (UTC)Would never say:
1. "Well, let's just call it even, then."
2. "Y'know, maybe the Alliance isn't all bad..."
3. "Forget this smuggling thing; I want to be a farmer again."
4. "Jayne is in charge."
5. "I love you."
And the bits of my personal canon...
1. Although he swears he doesn't, Mal remembers his father, and even a few moments that ought to have been good memories. If he saw the man, now, he'd surely try to kill him, though.
2. ...Especially since Daddy did pretty well off the war, on the Alliance side.
3. Is starting to like Simon, and hates every minute of it.
4. Can't cook. No, really. Jayne has a better chance of not turning the food to blackened mush than he does.
5. Would be dead twenty times over if it weren't for Zoe. He counted after the war, in the long months they spent doing whatever crappy jobs came to them while he saved money for a ship. Back then he used to wish she hadn't been quite so efficient.

Date: 2007-10-04 09:32 pm (UTC)"Nah, I'd rather just take a nap."
...I actually can't come up with anything else for Jack, but I think that pretty much covers all eventualities. ♥
Personal canon:
1. Is willing to try literally any kink he comes across, at least twice, and generally likes all the ones he's tried. He's just that kind of easy-going.
2. Really does find pretty much everyone and everything attractive, but on some level it's less about sex than it is about appreciation and joy. Jack's like a puppy - everything makes him happy. ...Of course, the sex is really fun, too. ;)
3. Is a decent military leader, in terms of tactics and such, but could never in a million years run anything more complicated than a single skirmish. He means well, but he's not that good at long-term thinking, and is actually kind of crap at judging people.
4. Loves hot foods - seriously, the hotter the better - because of the adrenaline rush he gets off them.
5. In actuality, probably lost those two years of his life not to a Time Agency experiment of some kind, but rather to a month-long bender while on leave. After twelve hyper-vodkas in one night, he's lucky his memory and pants are all he lost.

Just the Doctor if you don't want to do two :)

Date: 2007-10-04 10:06 pm (UTC)The Ninth Doctor:
1. Spent the first week after his regeneration ignoring the universe and pretty much trying to wish himself out of existence. He very much had not regenerated willingly - I'm reasonably sure the Tardis gave him the necessary push while he was unconscious.
2. Intentionally chose the black jacket, black jeans and work-boots look because he couldn't stand the thought of wearing bright colors again. Even after he got over the mourning that originally set him on that track, he just feels like it would be wrong.
3. Very specifically, very desperately does NOT think about Susan, or really any of his family... or families at all, when he can help it. Anything vaguely domestic reminds him of everything he's lost.
4. What tears him up the most about the loss of Gallifrey is that, with the exception of his family, he pretty much hated his people.
5. Would absolutely, unhesitatingly, ecstatically have blasted that Dalek out of existence if Rose hadn't stopped him. And after he saw it destroy itself, he was left with the distinct impression that in the end, it was better than him.
I'll get back to you on Londo in another comment. He's probably the B5 character I know least-well, so I need to think about it. XD

no subject
Date: 2007-10-05 04:08 pm (UTC)It's not so bad for some characters (for instance, a list for the Daleks would be really fun. "WE HAVE DE-CI-DED TO FOR-GIVE THE DOCTOR!" and so on. "I NEED A HUG!" ...Because all statements by Daleks are exclamations) But in general? I seem not to have the knack for making anything interesting of it.

Date: 2007-10-05 03:11 am (UTC)1. Is actually quite clever, but in a haphazard and often distracted sort of way. Which is to say that she's one of those smart people to whom people are forever saying "Cissa, dear, you're far too clever to keep doing these foolish things... don't you think before you do things?" And the answer is yes, of course she does. Just not quite the way she ought to.
2. Had a miscarriage before Draco, which made her even more neurotically protective of her son than she already would have been, once he was born.
3. Deeply and genuinely loves both her husband and her son, even if she recognizes that they're really both slightly cowardly twits.
4. Is deeply proud to be a Black, but at the same time terrified that she'll succumb to her family's fabled tendency toward madness.
5. Thinks not very much of the Dark Lord, really, mostly because she has taken well to heart the Black family notion that no one has blood as ancient and pure as theirs, and the idea of bowing and scraping to some fellow whose face has been squished in and bleached offends her on a visceral level.

Date: 2007-10-05 03:13 pm (UTC)Wow, Cissy's fascinating. You make me love her more than I did because of canon. (Okay, it started in book 6, but I realized before that she was kinda neat.)
no subject
Date: 2007-10-05 03:53 pm (UTC)Seriously, it was like if I was playing any character other than her, I had a brain. But the minute I started typing for her, it slipped out my ears. :P
I ♥ Narcissa. Still and always one of my favorite characters from those books. I'm glad you enjoyed!

I need to find your Cissa fics and read them, seriously. XD

Date: 2007-10-05 04:33 pm (UTC)Oh, I adored the beginning of book six. That was my first moment of certainty that the way I'd always seen Cissa was 'right.' XD
Really? *Delighted* If you really want to, all the fic is in my memories (chronologically listed, but they all have notes on which fandom and characters are in them). If you decide to read them, I hope you enjoy!

Date: 2007-10-05 10:48 pm (UTC)1. Actually doesn't have as terrible of fashion sense as he'd like the world to think, in the sense that the tweed and sweaters and all that were an intentional affectation. Accepting the not-quite-dress-code of the Watchers was a way to break with his 'old self' and coax his elders into accepting that he'd changed. After a while, it became habit, and the image he was trying to project became (more or less) reality.
2. Had thoughts - vivid fantasies, really - about hunting down Hank Summers and beating the living snot out of the man for abandoning his daughters and refusing to return after Joyce's death. The only thing preventing him is the fact that he's not certain he could prevent Buffy finding out.
3. I've said this one before in fic and such, but it's written into his will that when he dies, Buffy and/or Dawn get everything.
4. Will always hate and distrust Angel, though he grudgingly suspects that he and Buffy will continue to get together occasionally over the years. Giles accepts this, and waits patiently with a stake, just in case Angel goes over the edge again. If it happens, he's promised himself that Buffy won't have the chance to worry about whether or not she could kill him again, hero or not.
5. By the end of the series, is swiftly becoming an alcoholic-in-denial. I'd like to think this settled down once Buffy got over her death-ordeal and all that, but to be honest I'm not sure it would... it had been building for several years before that, after all.
Uhm, Giles for President, 'kay? Or Prime Minister. Whatever.

Date: 2007-10-30 09:22 pm (UTC)1. I'm psychotic, and I refuse to admit that he was in love with Lily, Lily, and only Lily all his life. He loved her, yeah, but nothing in the world will convince me he didn't also harbor an extremely repressed love/hate feeling for Remus.
2. Secretly disdained Voldemort even when he was young (he's too smart to fall for all that crap) but back then would have done pretty much anything for money.
3. Wasn't all that well-liked by his own housemates, but he and Narcissa shared a strange but oddly close friendship that they've kept up in tiny little pieces over the years.
4. Was one of those kids who used words nobody else could understand. When he was little, it was an accident - it just happened because he spent a lot of time reading whatever he could get his hands on. As a teenager, he did it on purpose, to put people off.
5. Has a weak stomach, loves to read Aleister Crowley and other 19th century "warlocks," and actually has rather a good grasp of poetry, though he wouldn't often admit it. (This is all thanks to a friend who used to play him, but it's so much a part of the way I picture young Snape that I can't excise it from my own images anymore.)

Date: 2007-10-31 12:13 am (UTC)Good old Harry Sullivan...
1. Is perhaps the most laid-back Human being ever, mostly because he has almost no doubt about his place in the world. He knows what he's good at, what he's bad at, what his job is in any situation (he may work for a military organization, but he's a doctor through and through) and everything else just falls into place from there.
2. Was, yes, more or less in love with the Doctor. It would never have independently occurred to him to think of it that way, but Sarah probably commented at some point or other, and looking back Harry can't deny it. Doesn't particularly want to, either.
3. Is traditional, but not necessarily conservative.
4. Still calls Sarah "old thing" and other similar things just to get a rise out of her. She's pretty when she glares at him.
5. Has proposed to Sarah Jane no less than ten times over the years. By this point, it's mostly just a tradition every time they get together. He still half hopes she'll accept one time, though.
