still slightly bored

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] nique and [livejournal.com profile] familyarchives among others.

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.

*leaves him to the last*

1. Sam is the eldest of three, and his sisters used to mock him when he'd get crushes on their friends.

2. For the first few months after Kara left Caprica, Sam actually believed she'd return. But as the time stretched, he started to stop believing it. That's why he started getting more reckless and suicidal. There wasn't anything to live for, so he might as well take some toasters out with him when he went.

3. There are days when Sam's pretty certain he hates Kara Thrace.

4. Part of the reason he was so angry at her death was because it was almost a relief not to have to dance their tangled weave of wackiness.

5. He hates himself a little bit, every time he kisses another woman.

1. Sometimes, he considers not actually pressing his pants. When he realizes, he does penance by wrinkling all of his shirts and then ironing them out.

2. As far as he's concerned, Rimmer doesn't actually exist. He's just a figment of Lister's imagination created to annoy them all.

3. His best friend at kitty school used to lick his toes. He misses it.

1. She hates coffee, but she's ingrained to drinking it because it was the Six Pack drug of choice. The few times she's tried to stop drinking it, she's gone into such bad shakes that she gave up and immediately drank an entire pot black.

2. There is one rule for hits: no children. She's seen and dealt with too many women who deserve a bullet as much as their male counterparts do to care about the sex, but children are still innocent.

3. The years between the Six Pack and Milo and X-Force are ones she doesn't like to remember. Too many backwater countries, too much tequila, not enough money.

4. Dom doesn't really remember the 80's, since she spent most of them drugged on one form of designer drug or another.

1. Vala's stories about her childhood are false. In reality, she grew up on a farm, with three siblings, did chores and learned to care for more animals than she ever wants to remember.

2. Sex isn't some mystical experience for Vala, she's used it for payment far too many times. But sex with one of her teammates is something that might disturb her. She'll never admit it, but she's all flirt and no tongue.

3. Sometimes, she wakes up in the middle of the night from memories of her time as Quetesh. And they're not all nightmares.

(raises an eyebrow at # 3)

And I bet Vala got chased by pissed-off chickens at least once as a kid.

Well, think about it. You can't tell me all of her time as a God was a nightmare. I imagine that's part of why being infested with a goa'uld is so insidious--sometimes, you like what you're doing, even though it's not you doing it.

In all honesty, I think that's how the stupid Jolinar stuff should have been played-out, too. Because Sam was NEVER given a choice and it was a violation. And yet, she's all happy and hunky-dory about it, and never sad that she was raped mentally. She wasn't given a choice, after all.

1. He lucked into Stark as a prisoner, otherwise he would never have discovered the chrystherium or John Crichton.

2. Sex is a tool, but it's a pleasurable tool. Sadly, no one but Natira has ever quite utilized his sexual responses for an explosive experience.

3. He still believes that John Crichton's mind holds the key to wormhole knowledge, but having seen the price, it's not worth it to mine. Yet, if it came down to it again, he would do it.

Kitty Pryde.
ext_18106: (Bev Jean-Luc)

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
1. She still remembers to pray on certain holidays, even though she's not orthodox jewish anymore.

2. When she was going to school in Chicago, she missed being a member of a team like the X-Men. But now that she's back, she misses the simplicity of school in Chicago. She's very aware of the Grass is Greener dichotomy, but doesn't care.

3. Some days, she thinks about running away and marrying a guy named Brett or Mark or Luke. Anything but Pete. She kind of hates Pete as a name.

4. Kitty has never forgiven herself for abandoning Illyana and letting Rachel get pulled into the timestream.

1. Lister truly believes that Kris was his one true love, and every other woman before or since is merely there to mark time until he gets her back.

2. Sometimes, he's fairly certain that they never really left Better Than Life. Usually, those are the days he finds a new bottle of alcohol and spends time with the scutters.

3. Earth is his goal, because if he didn't have one, Dave's pretty certain he'd have spaced himself before now.

Abby from NCIS
ext_18106: (Default)

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
1. The first tattoo she got was to commemorate the death of her guinea pig. None of her friends understood, so she just told them it was rebellion against her parents.

2. Some mornings, she wakes up and thinks that day could be the day someone tries to blow up her lab. Luckily, that's never actually happened. And she knows it won't, because Gibbs would never let that happen.

3. Abby knows she has the coolest job ever, though, sometimes she gets lab envy.

Londo and/or G'Kar.
ext_18106: (Default)

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Londo
1. He'll never admit it, but Londo sometimes thinks the only reason he made Emperor is because of Vir.

2. Londo actually hates court dress, but he puts up with it because the trappings of power are too attractive. Also, he understands the worth of clothing making the Centauri.

3. His father taught him to cheat at cards like that.

G'Kar
1. He'll never tell Sheridan, but he thinks Sinclair would have been able to stop the war with the Centauri.

2. During Sinclair's first few months on B5, G'Kar had to stop three assassination attempts by his government. They wanted to remove Sinclair simply because he was too even-handed, and instate someone they could manipulate better.

3. He knows he's a better person now than he was when he first came to the station, but he's not so sure he'd do it all over again to get here.

1. Has been hugged by Jack. Once. They never talk about it.

2. Actually thinks humans are cute little pets, but sometimes they do things that frighten him.

3. Thor is so old, he remembers the original Goa'uld infestation on Earth. Of course, even back then, the Asgard never bothered to help the lesser races.

Susan Taylor!
ext_18106: (Default)

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
1. Susan wanted to be an astronaut when she was five, but they told her she needed maths, and since she hates numbers, she went for history instead. It was only when she was reading recent history--true crime novels, and stories of criminals like Jack the Ripper--that she started realizing she wanted something different.

2. Jane Tennyson spoke at Susan's graduation.

3. That whole "bigger than you, with more muscles and less qualifications" thing was true. But Susan will never tell Dave that her fiance was none of those.

4. She actually has a better academic record than Creegan, but since she didn't specialize, it's always been harder to place her.

1. She hates the way her hair behaves.

2. Once, she dreamed she was a princess at a ball, woke up, and realized that it had merely happened in a past life.

3. She knows she isn't always right, but she is nearly always right, and that's more than good enough for her. Though, sometimes, she wishes she was only sometimes right, because it's an annoying responsibility to be Almost Always Right.

(sorry, it's been a while since I've read the books. Like, say, a good three years?)

Ripley & Hicks :)

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2007-05-20 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ripley
1. While there was something demeaning about being a loader, there was also something strangely honest in the work. If she'd dreamed in hyper-space, she might have dreamed of missing it.

2. Ripley actually grew up wanting to play piano, but she's tone-deaf.

3. She contacted her daughter's family, trying to reconnect, but the company had already gotten to them and they wanted nothing to do with her.

Hicks
1. He had a dog named Spot. Spot used to chase him around and follow him to school, and was basically the best dog EVER.

2. He started smoking because he thought it made him look cool. Now he smokes because it's a good distraction from the fact that, as a colonial marine, his life-expectancy is short.

3. He likes pie, but rarely gets it.

4. He didn't think he'd survive to see Earth again.
