View Full Version : It's convention time!

I had this idea while watching GalaxyQuest yesterday, and thought it might be fun to try something that every sci-fi actor/actress must usually go through in their lives - the convention.

Basically, we'd play the 'actors' of our characters (different 'real' names of course), who have to sit through and participate in a mind-numbing, fanboy filled, three-day long convention. It will be a taxing experience for all, and nerves will undoubtedly be shot :p

There are a few rules though, and there'll be more than one convention thread so that we can all have a go without having a huge mishmash of craziness. There will be six guest speakers at each con, and convention-goers will be able to pick their brains about their roles in SW-Fans and the threads they were in/are currently in.

The Conventions

Portland Sci-Con

1. Loklorien s'Ilancy - Stevie Baker
2. Arya Ravenwing - Elle Harper
3. Sanis Prent - Ron Fallan
4. Vega Van-Derveld - Ethan Archer
5. Wyl Staedtler - Brandon Spencer Davies
6. Blade Ice - Levon Mitchell Gavenrow


GalaxyCon: London

1. Dasquian Belargic - Fletch Fraser-Darling
2. Kelly Perris - Keir McCallum
3. Grace Van-Derveld - Emily Devereaux
4. Callomas Savoc - Peter Szechwynsky
5. OW outcast - James Greenwood
6. Tirsa Krylana - Deena Vincent


New York Fans Bazaar

1. Salem Ave - Samuel Sutton
2. Lilaena De'Ville - Molly Christopherson
3. Cirrseeto - Deshawn Creel
4. Travis North -
5. Razielle Shadana - Molly Black
6. Nya Halcyon - Lillian Sharpe
7. Aestiva - Christina Melvoin


Empire in LA

1. Karl Valten - Josh Harmon
2. Naomi Lang - Lynn Wilkinson
3. R. S. Esalis - Kerri Paladoris
4. Miranda Tarkin - Vicki Alterson
5. Lianna Mal Pannis - Valerie Alterson
6. Jeseth Cloak - Oliver Dermont
7. Sorsha Kasajian - Laura Shannon
8. Daria Nytherciria - Jennifer Graeme
9. Danni Reyok - Kahlen Rondot


If we need to, we can have more conventions so even more people can include their characters. I just ran out of ideas for convention names ^_^;



The rules
If your character isn't a guest speaker, than your role in the thread can be one or more of the convention-goers, and it's entirely up to you whether you wish to be an overly geeky, fanatical fan, or a more casual follower.
Dressing room bickering is actively encouraged :p
The panel is split up into groups of three over the period of the first two days.
On the third and last day all of the guest speakers gather to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans.Any takers?

Don't forget the nightly parties where people get drunk/stoned/sexed up.

;)

Dasquian Belargic
Jul 9th, 2007, 06:28:44 PM
:lol Haha, this is hilarious.

So am I understanding this correctly, I would be playing... the actor who plays Dasquian Belargic? As if Dasq was the character in a TV series?

Razielle Alastor
Jul 9th, 2007, 06:34:27 PM
:lol that is awesome guys.

;) 'Course I'll play.

Dasquian Belargic
Jul 9th, 2007, 06:41:15 PM
Put me down as Salem Ave :D

Lianna Mal Pannis
Jul 9th, 2007, 06:58:52 PM
omg :lol this sounds hilarious. I'm in ... I guess as Miranda/Lianna ^_^

Fieron Marzullo
Jul 9th, 2007, 07:05:38 PM
You can put me down for....


Hmm...


Kelly Perris. I'd just have too much fun doing this with him. :lol

Karl Valten
Jul 9th, 2007, 08:17:01 PM
Oh, hell yes. Put Karl down and Naomi down for Empire in LA.

Loklorien s'Ilancy
Jul 9th, 2007, 09:15:47 PM
With the exception of Karl, what conventions were ya'll wanting?

Dasquian Belargic
Jul 9th, 2007, 09:17:28 PM
For Salem... ideally somewhere with the likes of Razielle and LD (if she is showing up). I'm guessing it would make sense for them to appear together :)

Jacinda Blake
Jul 9th, 2007, 09:19:04 PM
Uhh.. I have no idea. Let me get with my travel agent.:p

Dasquian Belargic
Jul 9th, 2007, 09:41:09 PM
I editted in where Dasq and Salem will be.

Lianna Mal Pannis
Jul 9th, 2007, 10:08:35 PM
I have no idea where Miranda/Lianna would be =\

Kelly Perris
Jul 9th, 2007, 10:11:57 PM
Put me in either at Portland or GalaxyCon. Your choice.

Lilaena De'Ville
Jul 9th, 2007, 11:07:28 PM
LD will show up in New York, Arya in Portland. :wofl

Knight Staedtler
Jul 10th, 2007, 01:33:55 AM
(young) Wyl will show up anywhere. :)

And this is the coolest idea ever. :D

Dasquian Belargic
Jul 10th, 2007, 06:25:14 AM
What, no one wants to come to LA with Dasq? :(

Loklorien s'Ilancy
Jul 10th, 2007, 06:35:44 AM
I just realized (like an idiot) that GalaxyCon and Empire are both in LA. Anyone have any objections to me moving it to London? ;)

Dasquian Belargic
Jul 10th, 2007, 06:50:51 AM
Ohhh yes put me in London :D

Lianna Mal Pannis
Jul 10th, 2007, 11:25:36 AM
oooooh ....Dasq in London? Count Grace in London too ;)

Stick Miranda/Lianna anywhere

Naomi Lang
Jul 10th, 2007, 11:34:11 AM
*pokes S'il*

Lang, Naomi Lang :p

Scothis as a last name is for the 'Year's from Now" RP only.

Loklorien s'Ilancy
Jul 10th, 2007, 02:39:32 PM
Haha, oops ^_^;

Thanks Das :)

Parsideon Denix
Jul 10th, 2007, 09:39:00 PM
Sanis in Portland (Ron Fallan)
Cirrsseeto in New York (Deshawn Creel)
Callomas Savoc (Peter Szechwynsky)

Elektra Kathian
Jul 10th, 2007, 10:31:06 PM
Juliya Chernetsky for Ashe Sieris at Empire in LA

Dasquian Belargic
Jul 11th, 2007, 09:22:45 AM
Added Vega to Portland, and the actors names for my chars :)

Karl Valten
Jul 11th, 2007, 10:13:36 AM
Whoo, on more for the Imp convention.

Kale
Jul 11th, 2007, 01:49:02 PM
So, is this taking place in Gen RP or SW?

Travis North
Jul 11th, 2007, 03:10:30 PM
This sounds awesome.

Spot me in at New York. Place could use an Imperial presence. :P

Kelly Perris
Jul 11th, 2007, 03:16:44 PM
Keir McCallum for Kelly Perris

Itala Marzullo
Jul 11th, 2007, 03:22:14 PM
This would be fun except that playing the actual Joaquin Phoenix would have been a blast, and since I'm sure he would not give a flying rat about anyone impersonating him in a SW message board, I can't do it.

Seriously, how many SW (add everything else besides SW too) rp websites have been shut down for playing official characters? None, ever. I seriously don't get this copyright rule, it's not even copyright infrigment anyway, since the whole thing is obviously fan fiction.

Dasquian Belargic
Jul 11th, 2007, 03:40:41 PM
Well, personally I am not interested in RPing as Orlando Bloom. I'd much rather invent an actor persona. If nothing else, I'd feel kind of weird RPing as Orlando o_O

Karl Valten
Jul 11th, 2007, 04:40:16 PM
Yeah, I'd be RPing as Rico from Killzone. How the heck do I RP a video game character. I could go with the voice acter but that would just be odd.

Josh Harmon for Karl Valten

and

Lynn Wilkinson for Naomi Lang

Loklorien s'Ilancy
Jul 11th, 2007, 05:29:21 PM
So, is this taking place in Gen RP or SW?

I really don't know ^_^;

My first instinct would be to put them in SW, but that's just me. If you guys would rather have them in Gen RP it's all good :)

Dasquian Belargic
Jul 11th, 2007, 06:30:15 PM
I would think Gen RP would make more sense.

Dante Marzullo
Jul 11th, 2007, 07:53:16 PM
It would take skill to play Orlando Bloom, just have him act like Legolas. :D

Wyl Staedtler
Jul 11th, 2007, 08:34:25 PM
That would be creepy.

Brandon Spencer Davies as "Wyl Staedtler", btw :)

Lilaena De'Ville
Jul 14th, 2007, 02:46:23 PM

If you don't have anything better to do than complain about our rules perhaps you'd better refrain from posting?

This sounds like such fun, I wish I had time to join it.

Dasquian Belargic

Bump, I say! Bump!

Loklorien s'Ilancy
Jul 24th, 2007, 09:14:24 PM
Whichever con is filled up first gets to start first :)

Also, I figure if there are people on your panel that you want to ask questions of also, you can go ahead and be a guest at the con as well. If that makes any sense ^_^;

Knight Staedtler
Nov 30th, 2007, 01:56:52 AM
Heeeeeeeey, how come we never did this? :(

Kelly Perris
Nov 30th, 2007, 02:47:17 AM
That sure is something I'D like to know...We demand answers!

Fiona Devlin
Nov 30th, 2007, 10:58:14 AM
Because they've been waiting to book Sorsha, that's why! :p

Dasquian Belargic
Nov 30th, 2007, 10:58:58 AM
It's true. No con is complete without some Hudsss-er-Sorsha! ^_^;

Nicolas Mason
Nov 30th, 2007, 11:28:09 AM
Question?

If we play fans and ask questions are we restricted to only questions involve post reset or can we ask pre reset questions as well?

My thinking is post reset is the new series and pre is the old series. Kind of like TOS (Star Trek Orginal series) and TNG (Star trek Next Generation).

Loklorien s'Ilancy
Nov 30th, 2007, 11:29:50 AM
That sounds like a good idea :)

Keeva
Nov 30th, 2007, 11:49:16 AM
so add Sorsha (aka Laura Shannon) to L.A. Con. ;)

Loklorien s'Ilancy
Nov 30th, 2007, 12:12:21 PM
And that clinches it - Empire in L.A. will be the first out of the gate.

I'm half-tempted to make separate accounts for the fans ^_^;

Blade Bacquin
Nov 30th, 2007, 12:14:35 PM
Portland Sci-Con Blade Ice (Aka Levon Mitchell Gavenrow)

O.W. Outcast

Alright, the lineup then is:

3. GalaxyCon
4. Bazaar


Unless you guys just wanna throw them all out there and do them at once. Doesn't matter to me :)

Laura Shannon

Kerri Paladoris
Nov 30th, 2007, 09:11:46 PM
Kerri Paladoris: A blonde disguised as a brunette. Who'd have thought that the woman who plays one of the Empire's more scheming, cunning, and downright mean puppetmasters regularly locks herself in the car?

Shame on you for leaving SW-Fans.Net's original bad boy out off the list. I'm just kidding actually, I hadn't been active in such a long time that I can't blame you.

Loklorien s'Ilancy
Dec 1st, 2007, 11:48:20 PM
I didn't put anyone on the list, dingdong, they volunteered :p

Though it seems as though one of the peeps for the la con is long-absent, so you could take her place :)

Jeseth Cloak
Dec 2nd, 2007, 03:06:04 AM
Pffft. Volunteer? What happened to the SW-Fans.Net draft? In any case, I'd love to do it. Hm... I have to have a fictitious actor name, eh? I think I'll go with Bill O'Reilly - no, I'm joking - how about Oliver Dermont? That sounds just fine to me.

Loklorien s'Ilancy
Dec 2nd, 2007, 03:17:52 AM
Oh, we never really stopped drafting people, just got sneakier and started tricking them into volunteering ;)
