cimorenean au REGENCY role play for the lotr actors.
they're going to--and i quote--"play around with their ages, histories and relationships." i kid you NOT. what is with these people, you may ask? i mean.
'what did you spend the day doing?'
'well, i pretended to be billy boyd.'
'who?'
'oh, the actor. he's scottish.'
'so you pretended to be a scottish actor.'
'well, no. because i pretended to be billy boyd in late 20th century england, and i decided to be a bit creative with the background, so he's not actually scottish; and he's not really an actor, actually, because i thought it would be fun to have a butler, so--'
'oh, you're doing an au! well, who does he work for? lord elijah of wood terrace? the dashing spanish conte de orlando?'
'well, actually, they're in the game, but they're not his closest friends, because i decided to make him a bit closer to craig parker and miles studebaker. just to play with the relationships, a little. they're all involved in this religious sect, to make the characteriziation a real challenge.'
and if you transplant a fictional character to another world and alter his age, his history, and his relationships, and still achieve a characterization with any kind of foundation in anything, you get a healthy supply of gold stars.

I was also going to add 'wise-cracking interior designer' into the mix. What do you think??
