+1 18th century soldier

[sharpe]

Hi Exsilium! 8D My name is Dream and I bring to you Boromir Ned Stark Odysseus that guy who keeps dying RICHARD SHARPE from this early-90s Napoleonic war series named, creatively, Sharpe. He's fought in every single important battle (except Waterloo, because he's taken from before it) during the wars and what do you mean, he's not in the history books? Pfffft, historians.

Anyway, my aim is liftsleeves and my plurk is evocatives, so add me and talk to me if you so wish. Especially if you know this canon because man I need people to squee to about how perfect Teresa Moreno is.

Also, apparently Sharpe is rooming with a Raven Darkholme. Hoo boy. 8D

OH and I nearly forgot. I'll intro him during like, next week or something, because I have to rush to write a couple of things.

Wow, Sharpe. You look strangely familiar........

Hi, Dream! I am Beth and I've just got this lady here right now. Welcome to the game.

[sharpe]

Hi Beth! I'm just going to tell you that you're awesome for playing Galadriel (I have an Aragorn 8DDD!). And yes, he's a little bit familiar. Hair colour's right too, kind of. 8D Thank you!

[uncalled_for]

Omigod his hair.

I can't even.

Welcome to Exsilium, Dream! I'm Alex and I play Fiona from Dragon Age. I am sure this will be great fun. :)

He is the King of the Mullet. He makes a mullet look good. (But it's still a mullet. Give him a break, he's from the 18th century and in the original books, his hand reached like, his waist.)

Hi Alex! I'm sure this will be fun too. 8D!

[notstubborn]

Hello Dream , I'm Kiku aka that one person who played Robb on that test drive meme.

Welcome to the game! I shall be adding momentarily after I stop making silly high pitched noises. I am currently playing ladies of the awesome persuasion, one Elena Fisher from Uncharted series and Kahlan Amnell from the Sword of Truth/Legend of the Seeker series.

[encourage]

Anyway, glad to see you here, and I cannot wait for next week or something to see some excellent Sharpe from you!

[priad]

I LOVE YOU FOREVER FOR PLAYING THIS CHARACTER.

Time to be badassbros.

I have read every sharpe book, seen all the TV as well.

And ehe Legend of the Seeker. All I know of it is that Craig Parker exists in it. /chinhands

[sharpe]

ISHMAELLLLL remind me if I've forgotten, but did I throw Nikolai at your Sakura in zodion for like 2 seconds, or was that another Sakura? /I have a terrible memory

Thank youuuu ♥!

[sharpe]

I WILL SELL A KIDNEY FOR A PATRICK HARPER, A TERESA MORENO, A JANE SHARPE, OR ANYONE FROM THIS CANON REALLY SO GIVE IT TO ME

Hello Bill. /looms over

[sharpe]

Yes, I play Sharpe. He's not very happy about it because man I took him when he just caught a semi-break from war, but oh well. 8D 8D 8D

Thank you so much! I look forward to playing with you yes. 8D!

[sharpe]

Hi Alec! Gackt's face is the best face, so you have good taste indeed. 8D Thank you!

[uncalled_for]

Fantastic. Fiona might be oblivious to the hair style herself but surely someone will comment.....

Also, may I add you on plurk?

[encourage]

Hahah sadly that was another Sakura, but one who is wonderful and lovely and only sad because I cannot say it was me. I AM SORRY no the place i can think of would be SP last yeeeeeeeeeeear+ish but I am also known for having no memory

at all

[sharpe]

She has short hair. The things Sharpe can consider weird about her start from there.

And go ahead!

[sharpe]

... Awwwwwwww. NO SP IS GREAT TOO /paws at gently. And we must have more CR now :3 :3 :3

Wait do I have you on plurk /squints

[onemoredeath]

His face is certainly got it's good qualities, namely going from cute to downright creepy for one.

And I have heard of Sharpe but never actually gotten into the series. Now I wish I had.

[whatsupcroc]

I just sent you a friends request B)

AND YES now we must I would love this very much!

[uncalled_for]

Oh. That's. Yep. This will go well. How does he feel about elves?

Hoorah, added~!

[therangerking]

Yaaaaaay and added back! /same person, I'm doing musebox tags, ffff.

Sharpe has no idea what elves are. This is clearly the beginning of a great friendship.

[uncalled_for]

SWEEEEEEEEEEET. This'll be good.

[priad]

Time for me to begin like a 20 book canon review then!

[sharpe]

But but Pat's more from the TV series and so's my Sharpe even though I bastardise him so much with book!canon.

/paws at. omg this is so exciting. I never thought I'd find canonmates!

[priad]

I'm a tremendous military history nerd, and I found sharpe through comparisons of Sharpe to Gaunt's ghosts, a series by the same author as the guy what wrote Priad here. Its very much like Sharpe in space with Lasers! To the point where the author made a joke about it in one of the short story ombibuses with a song called "over the warp and far away". Eventually he went a different narrative path but....

YEAH I WATCHED THE TV SHOW and read all the books and they were both pretty great. I love that cornwell actually changed his writing of the Sharpe books to take into account Bean's portrayal of him in the TV show.

[sharpe]

I am actually a huge Regency era nerd, especially in how the military aspects has seeped into the culture of England. The soldiers, the working-classes during the time, the class conflicts... (So no, not really Jane Austen for me, aha.) I found Sharpe through my obsession with Sean Bean and it's really the best thing ever. Cornwell made Sharpe go into Yorkshire and gain an accent so I'm just all dsfgfsdfg about it. 8DDDD Sharpe in space with lasers sounds amazing, though.

GIVE ME A PATRICK HARPER see I am very one-track-mind about this. /shakes you gently

[priad]

Shhh given my current rp load is rather low with my home game having closed I probably will give me a month to canon review!


As for the Ghosts books here they are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaunt%27s_Ghosts Be careful of spoilers, my suggestion is read only the top-level blurb.

[sharpe]

AWESOMEEEEEEEE If you ever want someone to practice with, I'm right here.

/zips over to the wiki link

[priad]

[ Apps hakeswill instead just to troll. ]

[sharpe]

YES PLEASE

[notstubborn]

AAAAH I'm so happy you think that! I'm so shaky wit him but oh man it was super fun. Come next round we may have more facetwin shenanigans! I hope I hope!

He is fabulous in it, also there is a lot of hair porn. And pretty people.

[studieswaitressing]

Sharpe...hello roomie

;D

[chelicerata]

oh, hello stranger ;u;
