eyebrowgoesupSorry, Tracy!
Also, apparently I never got around to infoposting for this guy last time. Haha I fail?

Yeah, you know this guy. Don't even front. (Put your hand down, Alanna.) Half-Vulcan, half-Human, all genius and he knows it, sent to Earth to experience his mother's culture and struggling to be unemotional and perfectly logical among human teenagers, possibly the most emotional and illogical peer group in the galaxy after a roomful of drunk Klingons. Wish him luck. And whatever you do, do not insult his mother.
And a note on canonicity, because his is kind of...complicated. Spock is from the new movie, which takes place in an alternate timeline branching off just before Jim Kirk's birth, so here's how this works: I'm paying little to no attention to anything said in a Trekverse novel unless I really like it, little to moderate attention to information from series after TOS and movies that don't have Spock in them, moderate attention to TOS, and high attention to Star Trek XI, AKA Reboot, AKA 2009, AKA NuTrek, AKA I don't even know what else. So if I get a detail wrong, I hereby wave the alternate timeline flag.
Jill & Jack McTeague: Like being a teenager wasn't hard enough already.
*Senior
*Lives in 417 withchic_harper
*From Cycler and (Re)Cycler by Lauren McLaughlin
For four days out of every twenty-eight, Jill McTeague shapeshifts into a guy. His name is Jack. He's not Jill, really, he's a different person. They don't actually like each other that much, and are totally different. Here is a good summary of where they were when they started FH. Since then, Plan B, Jill's self-hypnosis regimen, has failed, and she now remembers some of Jack's part of the cycle. Also, several people know about the whole Jill/Jack deal, though not (oops) Harper, their roommate. They still don't get along very well and are struggling to come to terms with each other and their situation.
What you say to Jack may get back to Jill. What you say to Jill will get back to Jack. Jack and Jill will badmouth each other, and what they say isn't necessarily untrue--it's just that their resentment of their situation leads them to twist things about each other into the most unflattering light possible.
Jenny Sparks: This really isn't how she planned on spending her afterlife.
*Junior
*Lives in 401 withfinding_x_dream
*Manages Pixie Dust
Jenny Sparks was the spirit of the Twentieth Century, shaping world events just by existing, saving the world on a professional basis, drinking, smoking, slutting, and swearing her way across a hundred years. At midnight, December 31, 1999, she died after saving the world one last time, by killing something like God Texas-prison style and completely overloading her electricity powers. Then she woke up in a younger body, found out she was now the relief pitcher for her replacement, Jenny Quantum, and got sent to boarding school since they really didn't get along. Jenny's a cranky hundred-year-old woman in a sixteen-year-old's body, she tends to be bitchy and apathetic, and she has a lot of massive electricity-based powers that kind of boil down to 'she has power over it and is in a sense made of it.'
She also sells designer clothing, and is hiring for several shifts at Pixie Dust. If anyone is interested in a job with the island's least responsible manager, where they get bonuses for having sex in the changing rooms and there's free liquor under the counter, and they get to burn the ugly clothes in a trash can out back, IM or e-mail me (contact info at the bottom of this post).
Steve Rogers: What if we march us to the grave?
*Teaching art this semester
*Lives at MCA #9
When I first played Steve at FH, my concept was that the assassination attempt at the end of Marvel's Civil War failed and certain loyalists led by Nick Fury faked his death and spirited him away to Fandom to recover and hide out. Then I struck down the Superhuman Registration Act that had caused all the trouble, replaced Tony Stark with Natalia Romanova (the Black Widow) as head of SHIELD, and sent him back. He fought the Skrull invasion, had some more fights with Tony over whether or not he was a Skrull, and realized he wasn't ready to do this again. Maybe not ever. Bucky was doing fine at his old job, and he didn't want it right then. So he came back to Fandom, where he's struggling with being a Steve Rogers who's not Captain America any more, and dealing with a complex relationship with a Tony Stark who he hasn't known for over a decade.
Steve is a supersoldier, at the pinnacle of human physical ability across the board, an excellent strategist, and an artist. He's also possibly the nicest, kindest, most upstanding person you'll ever meet. That's just how he is. He'll stick by what he believes is right no matter what, and he genuinely wants to help people.
...I kind of have a massive crush on my own character. Does it show?
Skank Zero Hopeless-Savage: Yes, that is her real name.
*Junior at USC
*Lives in an apartment in LA withpeter__parker and mparkerceo
*Does stunt work on Supers, the Heroes meta.
Zero is the youngest daughter of a pair of punk rock stars, Dirk Hopeless and Nikki Savage. She is living in sin with Peter Parker, and M. Parker recently moved into their guest room after drama (see Parker's LJ for details). She drives a giant teal van named Dave, owns a pink leadbeater cockatoo named Fish that says totally random things in several languages, and makes up wordlings that aren't real enough. Zero recently started This Is My Real Name Productions. Peepcapocalypse Now!, the thrilling tale of an invasion of monster Peeps, is in distribution talks, and Zero vs. Hollywood, a weekly series currently consisting mostly of Zero ranting about whatever strikes her fancy, is available on YouTube to FH types.
Z Delgado: Poke her and emo comes out!
*Yellow SPD Power Ranger
*Lives in SPD Headquarters, Newtech City, California
Z is a former street kid and petty thief with the power to make copies of herself, who was caught and given a choice: jail, or FH, then serving in Space Patrol Delta. She chose FH. A year post-graduation, she and her teammates (including fellow FHer Bridge Carson and Ghost Chan, who we made up) are still fighting off the invasion of Gruumm's forces and trying to save the world of 2024, one day at a time. Z is involved in a relationship with Ghost they're both pretty sure is against regs, so no one tell Sky. Other FHers living in SPD HQ are Xander Carson nee Harris and Jen Scotts.
Me: And now for the nuts and bolts.
*Recent library school graduate
*Lives in US Central time zone
*Still looking for a job. D:
So hi, I'm Z, aka Ziho, aka 'hey you.' I'm currently living with my parents while I jobhunt, and they have dialup and one phone line, so I'm mostly available at night, and even then am likely to be kinda slow. Dialup is of the devil, you guys. I don't bite unless otherwise specified! While with all my characters I'll try not to step on anyone's toes, I do play one bitch and one kinda bitchy Vulcan, and if I do something that could be problematic, please, don't hesitate to let me know. OOC communication is awesome. I'm available on AIM at fireballofz and via e-mail at screwyoumarvel AT gmail DOT com. I like cats, pie, and naps. Not necessarily in that order.
