VINTAGE MUSES

playing muses from the '80s, the '90s, and whatever

some muses aren't as new and shiny as others, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve love. this is a meme for characters from older canons, here defined as anything released up to the year 2002. movies, tv, books, anime, video games--all media are welcome here, as long as they're, well, old.

- drop your characters below! provide their name and canon in the subject line (and, if you want, the year their media was released. whose canon is the oldest??!)

- don't leave your toplevel blank! tell us something about your character, their canon, the kind of scenarios you'd like to play, your plans for them... anything to engage your fellow players.

- tag around! go to your favorite random scenario generator and roll something up. toss ideas back and forth. come up with your own shenanigans for your characters to get up to! just have fun.

Comments

Elle Vianno | ZZ Gundam | OTA

[shangrilady]

[ 1986-1987! Bring on other 80s (or older???) mecha characters if you have 'em! Or anyone. I'll do anything from robot fighting to awkward romance/smut to just farting around. Elle's a sassy, street-smart space teen who works with junk collectors until she gets pulled into yet another Universal Century conflict. ]

Princess Serenity / Sailor Moon

[moonbunnyusako]

((Well based on the Grandma Sailor Moon icon I had to post.

I play her more as Serenity from the Moon Kingdom before everything happened with Beryl and co.

I also absolutely love AUs and doing our own world building. Romance/smut/gen. I love a good idea.))

Claire Redfield ✯ Biohazard (Resident Evil)

[babyredfield]

[ First appeared in 1998! and last time she was seen alive was in Revelations 2, somewhat. I would love anything to test this gal in really, from a bar brawl, to being stuck in an elevator, to tea time. Gen, romance or whatever is fine by me. ]

Lawrence / boys next door / ota

[iguanabrand]

[from Kaori Yuki's 90s oneshot manga Boy's Next Door. I'm very open to different scenarios, aus and canon mash-ups! My only limit is like super romantic fluff, because yeah.. That's not really happening considering the character & his past. Please check journal for potential cws]

Urd | Ah My Goddess

[big_sis_admin]

[The oldest sister Urd from the 90s anime and manga Ah My Goddess! A bit of a schemer and meddler with a caring side, not that she’d admit it. Also a bit of a hedonist and a flirt. Love to play Shippy stuff and shenanigans. Open to playing against most anyone.]

Tenchi Masaki | Tenchi Muyou

[wingsofthelighthawk]

[Reluctant scion of a galactic empire with tremendous power who'd rather not deal with any of it and just go back to his normal life but Stuff Keeps Happening. Castmates, fellow 90s proto-harem/proto-shounen characters, whoever else, all welcome!]

Tom Servo, Crow, and Gypsy | Mystery Science Theater 3000 | OTA

[robot_friends]

[OOC: If "the not too distant future, next Sunday A.D." counts as 'vintage']

Meredy | Tales of Eternia - OTA

[meredy]

[ Year 2000 Playstation Game! A native of Inferia who travels to another world to prevent a disaster. Magic-user, non-English speaker, dances and sings when excited, seen as a catalyst of disaster. ]

Reith | Magna Carta - OTA

[sunshinelilly]

[ From the 2001 game, Magna Carta: Tears of Blood. She is an Amnesiac who is trying to find her lost memories. Most marvel at her strong magical power... and her lack of knowing how the world works. ]

Re: Reith | Magna Carta - OTA

[dark_lady_sariss]

[Why hello, character I still miss playing opposite]

Nabiki Tendo | Ranma 1/2

[middletendo]

[Money hungry scheming middle sister of the Tendo family from 80s-90s anime Ranma 1/2. She’s put together and snarky. I’m really open o play anything with its her.]

[standingonmyneck]

[plz, snark snark snark.]

Genjō Sanzō | Saiyuki

[monklyvices]

[ Old, bitter monk from a series that started in 1996. I'm OTA and love cross-canon as well as castmates. I ain't picky. ]

[smokesandspirits]

[These two can smoke and drink all night while bitching about the others that they're forced to deal with.]

Ranma Saotome ( Ranma 1/2 )

[catfist]

[anything goes martial arts champion accidentally married off to multiple women and cursed to turn into a lady when he's hit with cool water.]

[mazofu]

[ he likes punching, sure, he'll punch you. then el-oh-el if you turn into a chick.

... kinda jealous actually.

ahem, anyway, one yusuke offering. ]

Gabrielle || Xena: Warrior Princess

[potedeiabard]

[ Gabrielle from Xena/Hercules, the reason many kids realized they were lesbians back in the 90s. Ehem. I can play her both in her canon universe or whatever AU comes up. ]

Siobhan Beckett | Gene Roddenberry's: Earth Final Conflict

[intuitions_ally]

[From the late 90s Early 2000s underrated series Earth: Final Conflict. Beckett is a "Companion Protector" basically a bodyguard for a race of aliens that have nothing but "good intentions" for humanity. The first 3 seasons were great. 4 was meh and 5 just went off the rails.]

Fighter McWarrior | 8-bit Theater

[swordaholic]

[You’re now acutely conscious of the fact that 8-bit Theater is 21 years old. Sorry. Sent me reeling too.

Anyway, Fighter is from an early 2000s webcomic loosely (and we do mean loosely at times) based on a video game you’ve probably never heard of called Final Fantasy. He is one of the Light Warriors - heroes of good and saviors of the world! …in theory. In practice, they’re a band of terrible thugs who generally do far more harm than good. Except Fighter. Fighter is a very good and just boy who loves swords and his best friends and is having a wonderful adventure.

I’d be happy to bounce him off anyone and do just about anything! I know this meme is for old farts but ftr i’d especially love to throw him at basically any touken ranbu characters, FFXIV or Dissidia WoLs, or, if they’re out there already, Stranger in Paradise characters? Lmao. So if you have any of those (or really, if you have anybody at all!) feel free to hit me up too.]

[standingonmyneck]

[thanks for making me feel ancient about this but HHOLY SHEET

Listen, she's not an evil violent psychopath like Black Mage or as crass as Thief or Red Mage but she's a sarcastic person who would be like




help me.]

Nash | Lunar: Silver Star

[nash]

[1993 Lunar: Silver Star received a NA release for the SegaCD. A fantastic (if not linear) JRPG full of magic and dragons! Nash is a cocky wizard from the elite floating city of Vane...have fun with him. Or smack him around...your choice]

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Oooohhh a Lunar journal!!! ...sadly I don't have any Lunar muses remotely loud enough to make a journal, but I just wanted to say I'm pleased to see there are some around! XD

Billy Jukes | Peter Pan & the Pirates

[gunnerbrat]

[ The cartoon came out in 1990]

Choi Bounge | King of Fighters

[seoulslasher]

[ He was introduced in KoF 94]

Dr. Sam Beckett | Quantum Leap

[quantumleaped]

[Early 90s era time travel show that was abruptly cancelled...the opening narration went like this...

"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Doctor Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Doctor Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home..."

The usual jam jar games are par for the course for Sam...except that he can see himself for a change...

Lina Inverse || Slayers

[have_a_fireball]

[Petite sorceress with a short temper. Can and will blow people up for talking about boobs]

[redprayer]

[[Hello tiny girl who keeps kicking his ass.]]

Rachel T. McKenzie aka Numbuh 362 | Codename: Kids Next Door | ota

[numbuh_362]

[Know this is skirting the time bracket, but Codename: Kids Next Door first premiered in 2001 on Cartoon Network. Still to this day this show holds a special place in my heart. It was about a secret organization of kids that protected the world's youth from "adult tyranny". It was so fun and creative and everything had acronyms.

Used to play her in a game over on LiveJournal this muse is so old and was my first. She followed me over here but hasn't seen much use. Finding castmates is a long forgotten dream I had. But with Rachel being the Supreme Commander of the KND, she would try to reform the KND were ever she would go. She's for silly sol psls.]
