There's gotta be some good games out there that aren't multi-fandom, don't involve Harry Potter, aren't superhero-ishy, and welcome original characters.

Right?

	Are you interested in checking out the IJ version of DDC that Cary and I run? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	For YEARS I have been curiously tempted by DDC ... I just have not had the guts to try it out. (It's awesomeness destroyed my brain in the past.) But mayhaps now is the time to be brave. Is there anyone in particular that the game wishes it had as a whole? Today is my day off so I could do research if inspiration hit me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	FAAAAEEEEEEEE. Thanatos, you say? Let me look him up. Who do you play? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	faeness 2009-09-30 03:28 am UTC (link)
	THANATOS! I play Styxie, who is Than's sister. I also play Arianrhod, a Celt of no relation. I also play Nanshe, a Sumerian of no relation! BUT STYXIE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HER BROTHER BACK! <3333 http://www.theoi.com/Daimon/Thanatos.html Research, yo! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	HAHAHA. Was he ever played extensively in the game before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

like, so many people have played him, it's not even funny.
But the nice thing?
THAT MEANS YOU GET TO MAKE UP WHATEVER YOU WANT FOR HIM -- because everyone else has, hell

And plus? Than hasn't been around for a LONG ass time.

So you're golden! Don't even worry about back history in game, I say, unless someone says it's important! And believe you me, My Marty, they'll letcha know if it's imp;ortant! <3

	HAHAHAHA. WOW YOU ARE LIKE THE MOST CONVINCING VOICE FOR THIS GAME EVER!! ... Any special Than/Styxie info you think is important for me to know whilst considering this opportunity? Like their relationship? Anything outside of the normal mythology? And are you opposed to a PB that I've never seen used in a game before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Not opposed at AWHL! But you know, I have always thought that Billy Corgan would be awesome for Than. But it sounds like you already have someone in mind! SO DON'T LET ME STOP YOUUUU!!!! <3!!!!

Okay, Styx/Than! Styx has always been abrasive, abusive, vicious.... but fucking goddamned loyal. So. basically? NO ONE PICKS ON THAN BUT STYXIE!!!!! Or she'll fuck you UP, man. She'll fuck you UP.

She loves him. In a really weird way that you'd never think about, if you were just watching her with him.

But he understands. LOL

	Everyone knows I'm the weird PB Picker... And I just really want to use young Dustin Hoffman somewhere. He's been poking at my brain with sad eyes. But I'll have to read the mythology and see if I can make him work. Styx sounds scary. >.> BUT SINCE YOU PLAY HER I KNOW SHE MUST BE THE HIPPEST GODDESS ON THE BLOCK!

	'MFGDUSTINHOFFMANLOLWTFDFW! You have never lost your zaniness, and you know... I feel you never will. I LOVESES DA MARTY! <3 Styxie IS scary. But she's also effin' hip, man, recognize, hee! And Than never has much to fear from his sister. She really does love him. Like, a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

BWAHAHAHBUTCOMEONWHYDOESNOONEUSEHIMISTHEHOFFMEISTERTOOCOOLFORRP!??!?!

I LOVE FAAAEEEEEEEE.

Really? Like loves loves him? Cause I know there's a lot of scandal in the Greek world.

Research says Than doesn't do much except try to bring peaceful death upon people and then get PWND in the process. I'm picturing Ratso dying on the bus Midnight Cowboy style here.

So ... correct me if I'm wrong ... but in DDC the gods all like ... live normal lives and have jobs and stuff if they want to? Like "HAHAH I BEZ DEATH BUT I ALSO RUN THIS CUTE LITTLE PET SHOP ON SECOND AVENUE! here kitty, kitty..."

LOL

AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
OH NO YOU DIDN'T LOL

Well, I've noticed that althoug deities CAN have jobs, we don't do much with them in their day-top0day in the mortal plane. It's odd. It's there, sure, but typically, they're all hanging out with each other in some weird undetermined place, lol

We put all this effort into getting the place up and running so that everyone could use the mortal plane AND the divine plane -- and no one really references either. LMAO

But htat's okay!

I think I want to see Than's pet shop!!!

EVERYONE HAS THEIR APPS FLOCKED HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET INSPIRATIONS?!

AND OH YES I DID. I DID.

... you think all of his kitties die? He wouldn't want his kitties to die.

I suppose he could just hang out in the Underworld being awkwardly emo because mortals hate him and immortals ignore him. I imagine he tries to make friends with other gods. Somewhat pathetically.

I'm curious how some of the other Thans were represented. Not that I want to copy. I'm bad at picking up previous charries. But was there anything that you liked in particular?

You know, without exception all the Thanatos...es we have had have been very gentle. The last one had a bit of a slowburning fuse, but once it was lit, bam, the boy had a bit of an edge to him!

But overall, he's been really quite sweet.

I think that it's the right way to go, too, if you ask me.

But man! I'm having a hard time with this young PBing of yours! I bet I'll have to see it to understand it. Sometimes PBin's like that!

OOH, I'M ALL EXCITED, YAY!

	From reading the mythology it seems like gentle makes the most sense. That's the impression I was getting from it. Young like this icon? Maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	faeness 2009-09-30 06:12 am UTC (link)
	... oh...! Wow. Oh! Oh wow! Kinda like.. Trent Reznor...but... not as dark! That's not actually so bad at all! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	__marty 2009-09-30 06:19 am UTC (link)
	Yeah! I think he's cute ... And I hit the ultimate icon stash with over 400 from All the President's Men. Which is this look here. Which I like. :D Am I correct in that there isn't a lot of info on Than? I'm not finding much more than a couple of stories, a few short poems, and some artwork. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	faeness 2009-09-30 06:30 am UTC (link)
	You're totally right about not having a lot about Than. But that kinda makes him an OC, doesn't it? Nice, huh? Hee! Okay, I'm running off. GOOD LUCK, MARTY! I'll see you in DDC soon!!! <33333 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	__marty 2009-09-28 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, it makes me tempted to start one too. I would even consider making one, like writing all of the background info. If I could find someone else to mod it. I'm a bad mod. (Reply to this) (Parent)
