+1 farmboy/last of the jedi (sort of)

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

Hi y'all! I'm Bee and hella new and I'm bringing in this smol dork. His name's Luke Skywalker. He's here to rescue you. You may have heard of him.

Canonwise, he's taken from after the end of A New Hope, but before The Empire Strikes back. (After Vader Down if you're nerd enough to keep up with the new Marvel comics.) This means that he is a super young Luke (only nineteen or so), a super inexperienced Luke (give or take a Death Star or so), and a super, super unprepared Luke. For like everything. Seriously. ...he spent nineteen years living in a hole in the desert and the recent bits of his life have mostly been spent on starships. The newness of just about everything still hasn't worn off yet.

So bring it.

I want ALL THE CR. Good, bad, indifferent. I love it all.

ETA: I have a plurk (a barren and underused and still slightly new and confusing plurk) and if you want to chat you can add me there? bighairnoheart lookit me embracing technology finally. And Luke should have a tag up in the latest event post sometime today. Stay tuned. And lo! there was a middling sort of tag, but a tag nonetheless.

AHHHHHH TINY PRINCE I love Luke so much. My brother used to watch return of the Jedi on loop when he was a baby and the original trio has thusly been burned into my heart.

Welcome to the game, bee! I'm Katy and I just have Graham here.

[conqueress]

HMMMM I think someone took a wrong turn into this game.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

I AM SO STOKED TO HAVE HIM IN HERE YOU'VE GOT NO IDEA

I haven't watched OUAT in ages and I don't know how he'd get on with Luke, but if there could be cr there I want it.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

RUDE

[dishearten]

I think they'd get along! I guess we will just have to see c:

[conqueress]

Beep beep dragon queen coming through.

So can Drogon chew on the lightsaber? He's teething again, and all.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

no. It's an heirloom. He doesn't want to be the one to tell his dad there're tooth marks all over his best youngling killing saber.

[conqueress]

Oh. Well.

That was literally the only reason Luke was brought here, so I guess he can go home now. :>

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

Yep. It was fun while it lasted, but that's all, folks.

[reconditioning]

LUKE SKYWALKER

I mean uh, hi, hello there. Welcome to the game and please ignore me staring at you from across forever becauseLukeisamazing.

[gutpunching]

oh my god I'M SO GLAD....every game should have a luke. welcome to futuro, bee, I'm super excited about this development

[historiology]

It's okay Luke. Sorey is possibly even more sheltered tbh. They can be 'sons of a provincial lard' together, or whatever.

But no, really. Luke is great, I think everyone's excited to see him around! Welcome, Bee. I'm Caprica, and I have this here History Nerd, Sorey from the latest Tales game, Tales of Zestiria, and the resident Magical Girl, Sakura Kinomoto from CLAMP's manga, Cardcaptor Sakura.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

FINNNNNNN


(I may or may not have stalked my way through all the Star Wars tags before apping and you guys are amazing and eeeee)

Ahem.

I mean, I can't wait for these two to thread. If you thought meeting Han Solo was weird, Finn...

[apoptotic]

casually locks son in a safe room away from the pleb masses nbd nbd

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

Dad.

Dad, stop.

He is one of the pleb masses. Honest. I mean, look at that hat.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

Thanks for the welcome. I'm so glad I could get him into a game. (Cause there be Lukes everywhere suddenly...) And a game with such an awesome preexisting cast? SCORE.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

Hello! I'm afraid I have absolutely no point of reference for either of yours (Sakura may have been one of those shows I wanted to watch when my mother thought all Japanese shows were the work of the devil? idk. there were a lot of shows i missed. i may be the only person born in the late 80s who missed tmnt.) but that won't stop me.

[dbag]

AHHHHHHH I'm so thrilled Luke's here, you have no idea. I'm Elle and I play Rhys from the Borderlands series of games. I have no idea how they'd get on since he's an awkward asshole, but he has a robot so that's something. You can add me at regnant if you wish! Either way I'm excited you're here C:

[selfimage]

points to eyes. points to you.

i hope you like green, luke. here to blow ur mind.

[sololoquy]

^ kylo's face when

[respired]

THE PRODIGAL SON ... nice to meet you, Bee! I'm lyn & I play some Warcraft guys (this elf Koltira, and Anduin Wrynn fearward). Excited to see Luke + how he deals with the rest of his cast, aha.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

I have like no familiarity with his canon (ok, for any video type games), but he has a robo arm and that is instantly pretty cool. Both Luke and I know this to be fact.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

*insert preemptive loki-no.gif here*

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

gosh. why you gotta be such a downer, Kyle?

u mad or something?

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

Only time and how soon I can actually get a tag up will tell how things go down with the Star Wars cast, but my money's on it being glorious.

[sololoquy]

always

[reconditioning]

sobs into my own hands

countdown until Finn is officially Done with the Force: 3...2....

[selfimage]

why doesn't anyone ever have a loki-yes.gif???

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

The greatest mystery of the game as far as Luke's concerned is figuring out how Leia and Han produced that

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

experience

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

there there, Finn.

It could be worse? Somehow? Something out there's gotta be weirder than running into Luke Skywalker, Hero of the Rebellion, Last of the Jedi, Tiny Nerd.

[reconditioning]

You know he has less of a problem with tiny nerd than the rest of his family, really. But they also tend to go as a package deal, so... so you know.

Danger zone.

[ackingcraycray]

SCREAMS LONG AND LOUD

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SEVENTIES BABY YOU'VE BROUGHT US.....PINCHES HIS CHEEKS

I'm so happy to see Luke in a game you have no idea, I used to play very inaccurate renditions of Star Wars with my Barbies. Old school trilogy lies close to my heart ;A; I'm Kabby and I play Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls. Welcome to the game!

[historiology]

The work of the devil. Welp. Yeah, basically, all you need to know on Sakura is she is adorable, optimistic and stubborn as heck and has magical cards. Really. Sorey on the other hand, loves ruins, history and has a Saving People thing. Oh, and being here is great because people don't stare and think he is insane when he talks to his seraphim (spirits) friends.

And he can armatize with them (idk if you caught Dragonball Z, but think fusion from that?)

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

After Luke gets to know his dad and nephew he'll probably be inclined to agree with Finn. But not really do much to fix the problem. I mean, c'mon, Finn. It's a pretty fun highway.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

HE IS THE MOST PRECIOUS WITH HIS FLOOFY SEVENTIES HAIR AND HIS YELLOW SEVENTIES JACKET AND HIS BOUNDLESS OPTIMISM. IT'S RIDICULOUS.

yes

I am psyched to be here and I'm psyched to play Luke and I hope I get to thread with Mabel at some point.

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

Yeah no dragonball z. Get away from me with your satan's own characters and references. Next you'll be mentioning sailor moon and her devil's dumplings or something equally sinister and demoralizing.

my greatest act of childhood rebellion was sneaking over to a friends to watch sailor moon, convinced my mother was looking in the window the whole time. i was such a juvenile delinquent...

[sololoquy]

i mean.....is it really that big of a mystery luke......

[thebelly]

A LUKE SKYWALKER...................

hi bee welcome to the game! i've always had a soft spot for luke, especially before he figures out anything -- what a clueless dork heh c: - oh i'm jay and i play nicholas st. north / santa claus from rise of the guardians, i can't wait to see him around!!

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

I am like this close to tagging North in the latest event post. This close. He'd probably be pretty chill with chatting with an invisible guy once he figures out it's not ghosts.

[historiology]

And now I laugh because I actually play Usagi elsewhere. But details. Armaizaition pretty much just means that the seraphim use him as a vessel and he gains access to their particular weapons and powers/elements. His appearance also changes.

[thebelly]

PLEASE DO i'd love to thread with luke, also ah bless him for not going insane because of an invisible dude...

[queenofsalt]

HELLO SEVENTIES SCI-FI/FANTASY BOY HAVE A SEVENTIES FANTASY/SCI-FI GAL TO ALSO BE IMPUDENT SHITS WITH! Lessa is from the Dragonriders of Pern, has force-like skills (she totally pulled a 'these are not the droids you're looking for' during her teens) but instead of a sweet light saber and robot hand she's got a sweet dragon!

I'd LOVE to crack into the star wars cast eventually because I find it delightful to play against other characters from roughly the same era, if from wildly different canons. Luke and Lessa sound like great bro-names am I right??

My name's Dray and I feel like I saw you at Box or Ax or Systemwide or something, your name is so familiar!

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

SEVENTIES SCI-FI/FANTASY BROS YESPLEASE It's embarrassing how quickly that book started coming back to me as I was reading through her app. I didn't think my brain felt the need to hang on to the plots of my misspent middle school reading material. ... Apparently I was wrong. It's been sixteen years, brain. Let it go.

Please do tag Luke please. His tag in the last event post is totally open and we gladly welcome all possible buddies, especially ones he can be an impudent little shit with. My inner twelve year old is so psyched at the thought of playing against Lessa and Ramoth, you've got no idea.

But I don't think I've played with you before, at least not at those places. It must have been one of the other Bees. We are legion. We are the hive.

[queenofsalt]

(I'm a little embarrassed that I lost so much! I was an incredible dragon-nerd in my tween to teen years, but re-reading Dragonflight was surprising in a lot of ways; I forgot how much of a dink Lessa was!)

I'm going to hunt your tag down, I'm really stoked!

Ha ha, perhaps I'm remembering a different Luke in SystemWide; I remember there was one but I didn't directly interact with 'em. Anyways, cool stuff, I'm going to snag you in plurk. :Dc
