Introductions!

[stillkatriel.livejournal.com]

Hi!

I'm Kelly, and I'm new here. I'll be playing Katriel, a character from one of my original universes (because I love worldbuilding, I have more than is reasonable).

OOC, I live in London, England, so I'm usually about at odd hours for most non-GMT players. I work in a nursery school with preschool children and love it, drink crazy amounts of tea and spend too much time online. I'm also a SF geek. I met some of you in the chat yesterday, but to those I haven't - hi!

Katriel is an ex-revolutionary who showed up on the station by choice and has strong opinions on just about everything. She's familiar with most future tech but not with anything approaching magic or superpowers, those will seem very strange to her at first. I'm hoping to write an intro post for her today - please do join in if you'd like to meet her!

I haven't yet got her journal fully set up, so in the meantime, if there's something you need to know or an idea you've had for character interaction (and I love those) just drop me a message.

Looking forward to writing with you all!


~ Kelly

Hallo there~! We already met in chat, but for the sake of a proper introduction, I'm Pyraven (or Pyrry, or Pyr, or whatever Su decides my nickname is for the day). I play "Todd" from Stargate Atlantis, who comes with a special set of permissions (http://derigo.livejournal.com/792.html). For added fun, Katriel is free to call him whatever name she wants to, because Wraith names don't translate well into speech.

I hope you have fun here!

Thank you!

I've commented on his permissions post - I haven't watched Atlantis (only SG-1) but he sounds really interesting and I think it'll be interesting when Katriel meets him.

On the naming issue - is it that Katriel's translator would give Todd a name based on Katriel's (unconscious) perception of his psychic presence? So, one culturally relevant to her? Or does it work some other way, like it's just the sounds that don't transfer propetly, and 'Todd' is an approximation?

"Todd" is just a name that Col. Sheppard gave to him. It's a running gag in the series that Wraith don't give out their names, so Sheppard invents one for them. Thus there are nigh-immortal life-sucking aliens in SGA with names like Steve or Kenny. The closest approximation to Todd's actual name is Guide, but the odds of him telling anyone that are slim to none.

Likewise, Katriel can just pick whatever name she wants for him, as long as you feel that it's IC for her to do so.

Ah! Now I get it.

We'll see what she comes up with, then.
