OK, this one looks like fun:

Name a character and I'll give you three or more "facts" from my personal fanon about that character. If it isn't a fandom I know anything about, I'll make something up.

Kerril's mother died of overwork and untreated ill-health when Kerril was very small. She then became a ward of the state, IOW its property to be trained as cannon fodder.

Kerril rather liked being trained for service in Space Fleet and at 15 blew up the officer's mess though no one ever found out it was her.

She loved her life in the Space Fleet Ground Assault Troops - join the dirties and see the galaxy - until she was ordered to mow down civilians on Zircaster.

She promptly deserted.

She had however been exposed to romance bookpads and vids and when she met Vila and found toughness didn't work on him, she played the screaming, frightened, and helpless ninny, and was very gratified at the success of her tactics.

until she was ordered to mow down civilians on Zircaster That's an intersting idea - did you ever write a Kerril/Travis piece?

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
No, I just developed a lot of these ideas for RPG Kerril to flesh her out. She would have known Travis as commander but I doubt she spoke to him.

Ummm, oh hell, I can't help myself...

Bayban :)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Bayban's hair is naturally curly and he is extremely proud of this. He suspects that Blake gets a perm. (He is wrong.)

His first name is Septimus. This is why he is known as Baybe. So far, the body count of people who have called him Septimus is 42. He rather likes the fact that this is a multiple of seven.

Bayban always wanted to die in a massive explosion. He died happy, but rather regretful that he didn't take anyone with him, and that the only witness was an annoying thief.

Hmm... Servalan.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Angelica Servalan came up through the Space Fleet Officer training program where she learned to command, backstab, and loathe all forms of uniform, especially camouflage. She decided that when she got high enough inthe command structure, she'd wear what she damned well liked.

Like Bayban, she disliked her first name, but it was better than her middle one which was Priscilla.

She didn't kill Vila on Sardos because he was horrified at what the convicts had planned for her, which she found refreshingly sweet, and she found his refusal to kill the trooper rather quixotic in a wanted rebel. He reminded her of Rai. She considered keeping him but knew he'd pick the lock of the studded collar and platinum-coated herculaneum chain she had made for Avon (and had tried on Travis).

Heh. I suppose having a stupid first name is enough to drive you to the bad, if you're already that way inclined. :)

Cally - she's such a blank to me.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Cally was meant to work in the cloning nurseries like Zelda, but longed instead for action, mayhem, and violence (and not toddler-related either) so she refused outright. She was regarded as a Bad Apple and left under a cloud to be "all that she could be" as a galactic rebel.

She became a highly-trained guerrilla and comms expert and was at first delighted to join Blake's crew. The Liberator had an impressive array of weaponry, but of course she ended up doing comms and far too much teleport duty, admin, and medical work, mostly on Vila. This depressed her and she got quieter and ever more detached.

After Blake left, Cally stayed on mainly because she fancied Avon. She never made a move however, because it's difficult to care for such short-lived creatures only to watch them age and decline.

I like the toddler hate!

Aurons live longer? That's an interesting idea; is it fanon too? It would explain some of her detachment.

I don't think that there is any indication in the series that Aurons live longer.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
It's neither canon nor fanon. I just made it part of a story I wrote once (http://vilakins.livejournal.com/48630.html).

Oh, you also have personal fanon that Aurons are long-lived, do you?

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. It was part of a story I wrote once (http://vilakins.livejournal.com/48630.html), so I suppose it counts as mynon.

Blake

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
Blake got his scar on a world that was devastated by the loss of Star One. "An eye for an eye," they said, guessing why he'd been at Star One in the first place.

Deva rescued him before they actually completely extracted the eye or started on a tooth.

Disillusioned by what people can become when assaulted by disaster, starvation and each other, Blake decided that he could only trust those who, like his old crew, had survived the evils of their pasts without becoming evil themselves. So he set himself up as a bounty hunter to find those criminals who were still basically good at heart. A pity one of them had also changed.

This one really is my personal fanon (as are they all, pretty much). It's in the big PGP.

Travis had an irrational fear of injections. Servalan had to force him to get his annual Space Fleet flu shot.

He enjoyed reading bodice-rippers and imagining being redeemed by the love of a good woman.

He sometimes had nightmares that he was gradually turning into an android who would never feel warmth again.

I love your view of the characters, always 100% believable.

I once wrote a story called "Fellow Feeling" in which his need to talk to Kiera is explained by the fact that he wants to believe there is still something human in her and therefore in him too.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
There is definitely something human left in Travis. He was upset about Maryatt, though he suppressed it. Denying those impulses may well make him fear losing them altogether.

Aeryn kept an illegal animal in her quarters during her first tour of duty. It was of a reptilian species which was often trained to hunt for food, but she grew fond of it. She was quite aware that it sought her body warmth, but enjoyed pretending it was affection, while knowing this was an un-Peacekeeper aberration she had to conceal.

She once tried to cook Crichton a pizza. Crichton tried to eat it but had to tell her that it made a better throwing weapon than food. This pleased her greatly.

She always went commando.

I love the idea of Aeryn trying to cook a pizza for John, and the consequences. I can imagine Aeryn trying to cook 'Erp' food (and failing)

I can also imagine that her first reaction to his comment would be to try the pizza's effectiveness as a weapon, by throwing it at him. She could laugh about it later though.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I think she'd also like the idea of a weapon looking like harmless food. Though I think Rygel ate it later.

Your choice: Hurley or Hiro.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hiro's favourite game as a child was Sitar Tireku, in which beaming down involved jumping off the small playhouse in his parents' large garden. He never did it with a cape on though.

He used to read comic books in class by secreting them inside text books and not notice when the lesson changed to another subject.

His favourite super-hero was Spider-man because Peter Parker was an ordinary person on whom great responsibility was thrust, and when Hiro became a hero himself, this was still the case. Peter Petrelli's first name was a [slight] factor in Hiro's instinctive trust of him.

And I'm stopping now. It's past my bedtime.

Super! I totally agree about Spider-man. :)

:-D I'll think about this (I'm at work) and get to it tonight.

Oops, I got sidetracked, but here I am now.

At three, little Davey got his big toe stuck up the hot tap. They had to get a plumber in to disconnect it from the pipe, then take him to A&E to get it oiled off. The experience put him off the whole idea of personal hygiene for life.

Lister will eat anything anyone would describe as food with the exception of fresh green vegetables. "Well look, green's the colour of gangrene. And the last bit of that word. Can't be a coincidence, can it? Fling over a pot noodle, will ya?"

Lister once put an oyster up each nostril just so that he could turn to Rimmer and say, "Got a hanky?" Rimmer's deep disgust was worth it.
