So while I won't be appying a new character until somewhere undecided after Cameron graduates, I do have some character ideas in my head. Currently there are three that are winning out;

1. Jadzia as a student. She'd come in pre-symbiote and would receive Dax while at FH. Of course, this would involve some major canon tweaking and I'm personally a little twitchy about that. Also, I can't do this until I magically am able to rewatch DS9.

2. Mal Reynolds as student. I'm not sure about this as I wonder how hard it would be to find his voice. I also think someone might be appying him as teacher so it would be after that and err if no one else apps him as student either.

3. Roy Mustang as teacher or townie. Damn you, FMA. Is it bad that I would have two characters who like to play with fire? Also, I don't want to app him without Hawkeye because that would be wrong. One is not allowed to seperate these characters ever. *flails at manga*

ETA: Like I said, this won't be any time soon. I don't need more characters right now.

1. Jadzia would be cool, but yeah, canon tweaking gets complicated and I'm the same way with the twitchyness.

2. I've heard other say the same thing about apping Mal as a student. So much of who he is as an adult came out of his life experiences. Mal as a student would be a borderline OC. You'd have to make up a lot of background info for him (unless there are sources I'm not aware of).

3. Doooooooooo eeeeeeeeeet! I'm sure you could find someone to app Hawkeye with you. :D

2. *shrugs* There's not much background for Cam either, there was even less when I started playing him and I don't think Cam is borderline OC. That counts for a lot of characters, but Mal would still be doable. Granted, the reason I don't want to app Mustang as a student is because all the interesting stuff wouldn't have happened to him yet.

3. *snerks* Hawkeye would be lots of fun to play too.

I think the big difference that I see between Cam and Mal is that Cam's life experiences built up on what he was like when he was younger. Mal's life experiences changed him a lot. It makes it harder to extrapolate what he was like as a teenager.

True.

...I am all in favor of all three options. But yeah, I agree with the canon-twitchy for Jadzia.

...not that I've not, you know, considered the same.

...for Ezri...

*runs and hides*

... NO EZRI!

I swear, I'm one of the few folks who actually like her. I admit, she really didn't get enough screentime to properly become attuned to the audience, and she really did seem like a Jadzia 'replacement', but... I saw potential.

I was too heartbroken over Jadzia to want to care, but I really didn't like the actress. I also didn't like how to pacified Julian/Jadzia shippers by giving up Ezri/Julian. And bah... I hated the last season of DS9.
