| Subject: What mook would you like me to be? Sun Jul 26, 2009 5:31 pm | |
| Well all according to my fingers we have just five digits remaining until DH2 opens. I'm kind of scared at the idea of that because I have really no concrete idea of what I'd like to be. Since I am completely undecided on the matter I thought I could just do a little post and let those interested drop their ideas. Maybe they are seeing a spin that I'm not or would like to come out of the gates with a IC connection to my character. I have a name fortunately for this next incarnation, a noblewoman in her late twenties by the last name of Quebec. Other than her being of regal bearing (nose high and all!) and particularly athletic I'm drawing a blank. Here's the concepts I've written down to date but I have no particular attachment to any of them. If you have a better idea feel free to post. If you like one idea vote for it and include any ideas on how you think it could be bettered background/personality/goal wise. Here's the list: biotechnologist bounty hunter/mercenary geshia military tactician private investigator reporter starship navigator (Proposed character actress) I look foward to some group brainstorming! | |

| If done in a non-sexualized way (comon, you all know what I mean) - a geisha could actually be very cool. Especially in the post-Firefly age. | |

| If you want a job in my cantina/tea house as a geisha, let me know. | |

| Your citation does not fully back your assertion.
It does suggest that geisha were more like 17th century actresses than 21st century crack whores. But that site suggests they were escorts in more than one sense. | |

| Multiple sources I have referenced on the subject state that geisha were originally persevers of traditional entertainment such as tea customs as well as the ancient arts such as music, dance, and poetry. After World War II, when the East was reopened to the West, prositutes would often try to sell themselves as geisha because true geisha were highly regarded because of their lifelong profession to the traditional entertainments. Bascially they were like McDonalds trying to pass themselves off as Starbucks. If geisha is the most popular choice and I decide to have that as my character's profession, rest assured I will be serving only in the traditional sense, though flirtation is acceptable. Supposedly a good geshia can stop a man in his tracks. | |
