TLV - Fourth Wall Permissions

FOURTH WALL PERMISSIONS


What is Fourth Walling?
Having characters from so many universes, it's hard to determine which pop culture references are acceptable, and which are not. For example, everybody knows Star Wars. It's a pretty famous series, endlessly quotable, with a lovable cast of characters. But once these characters cease to become fictions for others in the game, we can run into problems. How much can you, John Smith, know about Luke Skywalker? What is acceptable to tell him (or to even know about him), and what isn't? Some characters are avid pop culture nuts, and it would be helpful to let them know what they can and can't know about your character-- if anything at all!

While we expect there to be 4th Walling for characters of certain series, please be respectful of other players' wishes.

Also, I forgot to re-post Bartlet's when he was accepted again! D'oh!

Character Name: Josiah Bartlet
Series: The West Wing
Fourth Wall?: ...yeah, sure, go ahead. He's been here long enough.
Restrictions: Obviously only if your character would have watched West Wing, etc.
Additional Notes: Feel free to mix him up with any other Martin Sheen like Costigan's already done!

[identity profile] tatty-bye.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 12:37 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Reaver
Series: Fable
Fourth Wall?: No.
Restrictions: The only things about him that could be fourth walled are things that need to stay secret.
Additional Notes: If you really want to do something with him like this, just talk to me first.

Will Graham

[identity profile] grahamcommawill.livejournal.com 2010-12-11 01:52 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Will Graham
Series: Hannibal / Red Dragon
Fourth Wall?: Sure, go ahead.
Restrictions: None I can think of.
Additional Notes: For added fun, let him know Hannibal was on board a while back. He'd lineface at you after freaking the fuck out.

[identity profile] so-meretricious.livejournal.com 2010-12-12 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Sherlock Holmes
Series: Sherlock Holmes (Granada series)
Fourth Wall?: Yes, but only so far as the original Conan Doyle stories.
Restrictions: The books are certainly all fair game, however I'd rather not details about the Granada series be brought up--things like actors' names and air dates--or for there to be extensive discussions regarding the few places the series differs from the original stories. Basically it will be played that the Granada series is what actually happened, where the Conan Doyle writings were what Watson penned.
Additional Notes: The biggest difference between the Granada series and the books was that Watson never married, and Mary Morstan stayed merely a client. Should the subject of Watson's marriage(s) be brought up, Holmes will state or imply that Watson invented a wife as part of his lurid embellishments.

On the subject of homoeroticism in either the stories or the Jeremy Brett series, bring this up at your own peril.

Discussions with Holmes regarding other adaptations, such as the Guy Ritchie film(s), Moffat/Gatiss's modernisation, the Rathbone/Bruce series, various pastiches and parodies, etc. are fair game.

[identity profile] flashy-magic.livejournal.com 2010-12-12 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)

Character Name:Drake Stone
Series: Sorcerer's Apprentice
Fourth Wall?:Sure! He'll probably assume you're a fan at first
Restrictions:None.
Additional Notes: He'll give you his autograph if you want it.

[identity profile] shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Rassilon
Series: Doctor Who
Fourth Wall?: Yes
Restrictions: Most of the stuff about him is a bit obscure, so most wouldn't know much more than his name and title.
Additional Notes: He might just assume you're unusually knowledgeable/he's that famous.
collector: (Default)

[personal profile] collector 2011-01-03 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Irving Braxiatel
Series: Doctor Who
Fourth Wall?: Yes
Restrictions: Braxiatel is from fairly obscure corner of the fandom (books/audios) so I imagine a character would have to be fairly big in nerdiness to know about it.
Additional Notes: He can cope with most things; his best friend has her own in-universe fan series, after all, and his best friend's ex-husband turned all their lives into a television series (Brax was played by a robot).

[identity profile] plz-gtfo-dragon.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Valmont
Series: Jackie Chan Adventures
Fourth Wall?: I'm not completely opposed if your character would have watched the cartoon? MORE LIKELY HE'LL GET FOURTH WALLED WHEN HE STARTS BITCHING ABOUT HOW MUCH HE HATES JACKIE CHAN, THAT HUMBLE MARTIAL ARTS MASTER ARCHEOLOGIST.
Restrictions: None!
Additional Notes: Beep Boop!
inhistorybooks: (Uh-huh.)

[personal profile] inhistorybooks 2011-01-03 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Trip Tucker
Series: Star Trek: Enterprise
Fourth Wall?: Yep.
Restrictions: Other Trek people should know who he is since Enterprise is basically their history, but otherwise, it was the least popular Trek show, so unless your character is really into Star Trek, they probably haven't heard of him.
Additional Notes: Nope!
ext_990129: Michael Keating as Vila Restal from Blake's 7 looking upwards and to the right with caption: Vila (I see you!)

[identity profile] counturfingers.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 01:23 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Vila Restal
Series: Blake's Seven
Fourth Wall?: OK within reason. I don't think it was that wildly popular, and Michael Keaton is not world-famous or anything. Vila isn't likely to believe you without proof anyway. Then he might be kind of jazzed.
Restrictions: Talk to me first?
Additional Notes: See above. Talk to me! I'm not above making my characters squirm, but I need to know what's coming.
slayage: (Oh look at my poor neck...)

[personal profile] slayage 2011-02-11 07:05 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Buffy Summers
Series: Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Fourth Wall?: Go for it!
Restrictions:Because Buffy is such a well-known character, pretty much anything goes, but don't go overboard with it unless you're a SUPER-FAN.
Additional Notes: Spike already told her about the TV show that is her life, so she's aware of it. She might get pissed and threaten violence if you're too obnoxious. Mostly, she just hopes no one knows.
Edited 2011-02-19 06:22 (UTC)
truth_is_cold: (rhade - pondering)

[personal profile] truth_is_cold 2011-02-12 06:46 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name:Gaheris Rhade
Series: Andromeda
Fourth Wall?: I'd prefer there not be
Restrictions:See above

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-02-14 05:52 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name:Barron Sharpe
Series: Holly Black's The Curse Workers
Fourth Wall?: Go for it.
Restrictions: None.
Additional Notes: He won't believe you until you say something that isn't common knowledge. And then he'll deny everything.
strangehistorian: (the helpful)

[personal profile] strangehistorian 2011-02-16 03:34 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Chromie
Series: Warcraft
Fourth Wall?: Go for it
Restrictions: She's pretty damn obscure. Everyone knows WoW, though, so WoW joke it up.
Additional Notes: Some of her canonmates do not want to be fourth-walled, so keep that in mind when sharing information with the public :o

[identity profile] consultcriminal.livejournal.com 2011-03-05 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)

Character Name:Jim Moriarty
Series:Sherlock
Fourth Wall?:Yes, with Restrictions
Restrictions:Anything in the books is fair game, but honestly...he's pretty far removed by how he's presented there. Nothing on the new series though, please.
Additional Notes: Nah.
what_ho_jeeves: (Default)

[personal profile] what_ho_jeeves 2011-03-11 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)

Character Name:Bertie Wooster
Series: Jeeves and Wooster
Fourth Wall?: Go for it. Bertie's not philosophical enough to be distressed about being fictional.
Restrictions: Since the books are written in first person point of view, I'm going with notion that in Bertie's world he wrote the books (like what Sherlockians do when playing The Game and pretending that Watson wrote the Holmes stories). So references to P.G. Wodehouse writing his books are likely to garner even more confusion than telling him he was played by House.
Additional Notes:

[identity profile] sixthanimorph.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Character Name: David
Series: Animorphs
Fourth Wall: I prefer not, but under the following circumstances...
Restrictions: If your character is a telepath, send me a note and I'll probably agree to it. Otherwise, let's not.
Additional Notes: I can accept someone picking up on David's rat-phobia since it's kinda obvious, but anything deeper would be a bit much.
tis_disapproval: (Default)

[personal profile] tis_disapproval 2011-04-05 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Morrigan.
Series: 'Dragon Age'.
Fourth wall? Allowable.
Restrictions: I haven't yet finished all of the game and don't have the sequel! Check with me, first, because, while I think that Morrigan could handle it, it might just end up actually spoiling me! :)
Notes: Morrigan disapproves -10.
resultofwar: (Working like a boss.)

[personal profile] resultofwar 2011-04-05 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Heero Yuy
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
Fourth Wall?: A hesitant yes.
Restrictions: ASK ME FIRST.

I'm totally okay with your characters knowing/referencing knowing about Gundams, since it's such a huge series. HOWEVER, I don't really want Gundam Wing specifically to be canon punctured for him, since Heero is from such an early point in canon I'm notttt sure he'll react well to being told that he. Saved the earth. And defeated the bad guys and all that. Because then lol I guess I'll just go home then, why bother sticking around on this stupid space ship thing and any attempts at trying to work towards graduation would totally fall apart.

BUT if your character is like, legitimately a huge fan of the show/there is no reason why they haven't heard of it, then I guess it's okay. Just no specifics, and PLEASE talk to me first.
Additional Notes: Nope!

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 06:54 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name: George Crabtree
Series: Murdoch Mysteries (TV)
Fourth Wall?: Sure.
Restrictions: None that I can think of.
Additional Notes: Again, none.

[identity profile] feels-no-love.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 03:51 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name:Vladislaus Dracula
Series:Van Helsing
Fourth Wall?:Lots of people have heard of Dracula, so yes, within reason.
Restrictions:Knowing him by name is generally OK. Knowing him by sight? Not so much unless the characters have a history together. If you're not sure, contact me--I don't bite!
ifightfor: (ooc: ~jazz hands~)

Fourth Wall Permissions - Rinzler - Tron

[personal profile] ifightfor 2011-04-17 07:53 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Rinzler
Series: TRON
Fourth Wall?: COME AT ME BRO (Yes, I'm fine with it. Rinzler already knows there is a great big world outside the Grid that is made up of people who think that Programs are nonsentient pieces of code, rather than other people. It's not going to be any weirder if people start claiming there's been movies about the Grid.)
Restrictions: This applies only for me; I do not know that cast who come after me will be similarly lackadaisical.
Additional Notes: ...He will probably just no-sell it though. Also, yelling "OMG UR TRON" at him will not act as an instant kill-switch on his activities, just as a forewarning--he went through a loooooooot of that right after the whole Betrayal and Coup from Programs who knew Tron. He's really suppressed. If you are not a Flynn, his ~*true name*~ is not going to trigger anything.

[identity profile] get-thebook.livejournal.com 2011-05-02 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Frances Owens
Series: Practical Magic
Fourth Wall?: Probably not. Just ask me first.
Restrictions: Again, don't assume you know anything about her without talking to me first; I intend to extend the same courtesy.
Additional Notes:

[identity profile] paranoidcreator.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 12:31 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Kevin Flynn
Series: TRON
Fourth Wall?:I...am iffy about this. Honestly if you've heard of him that's great-he'll think you guys are talking about his video games. If you mention the movie he'd probably think it was "based" on his adventures."
Restrictions: Do not. in any way shape or form, mention legacy. I will let you know when the time is right but it will break his happy so damn bad.
Additional Notes: NADA!

[identity profile] happinessboys.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 03:39 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name:Captain Beatty
Series:Fahrenheit 451
Fourth Wall?:For those who would know it, sure.
Restrictions:Nah
Additional Notes:None
