spokeAt some point, two of the muses involved to decided to behave as if it were an actual plotbunny and not an amusing distraction. Thank goodness I have no intention of actually trying to write it? ^^;;;
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen :
Kaiba Seto Yugioh
the leader
CEO of his very own gaming company, which he took from hisbastard creep of a stepfather in a hostile takeover at age 16. Having been trying to beat Pharaoh/Yugi practically since they met, he would probably conceive of the League himself, as a means of taking out the Pharaoh.
Plus: Ruthless, rich, not too scrupulous about hiring practices. (And he'll have to be, what with who he's fighting) Very intelligent, has been trained in foreign languages, economics and gaming strategy - did I mention being rich? Oh yeah, and he's good with computers. Almost fanatically devoted to his little brother.
Minus: Pretty much doesn't give a damn about anybody else expect Mokuba (aforementioned little brother) , ruthless, willing to sacrifice his teammates and probably won't think of them as such.
Gerald Tarrant the Coldfire Trilogy
the recruiter
Ex-Prophet, Neocount of Merentha and sometime Lord of Jehanna, swordsman, sorcerer and statesman among other skills.
Plus: Can be charming and polite or viciously ruthless as the situation requires, refined, manipulative and generally tolerant of others' worldviews - whether he agrees with them or not.
Minus: Manipulative, cold blooded and utterly focused on his own survival. May regard his companions as food, emergency or otherwise.
Stanley Tweedle Lexx
ex-Heretic (see Rebel Alliance) Captain of the Lexx. Pragmatic, serious, cautious
Plus: Interested in travel and meeting newwomen people? Will go along with about any plans, provided it's put to him properly - alternately, if he is threatened properly? >>
Minus: The man is an anti-hero so well disguised it takes some observation before one notices he has any redeeming qualities. That, or the continued presence of people who soothe the disillusionment about humanity that got him that way in the first place? Lacking said balancing influences, he is likely to betray or entirely ditch the rest of them the moment he thinks they've turned their backs. ^^; Has no actual powers, since holding the biological 'key' to the Lexx cannot be counted.
Maleficent Sleeping Beauty (Kingdom Hearts?)
Sorceress, villainess, shape shifter. I don't really know why she'd want to be involved except that I'm pretty sure Gerald could convince her - possibly with the promise of new worlds to visit and destroy.
Plus: She can shape shift, which Gerald wants to learn how she manages without the fae, and is used to commanding idiots, which will come in really handy given Stanley's presence.
Minus: Just as likely as Stan is to betray them all, just as likely as Gerald to eat them - only she would turn into a frickin' dragon to do so. <<
Lady Kayura Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors
Because Seto insisted I'm pretty surethe idiot he'd have Mokuba somewhere on the Lexx too? >.<;;;
Plus: Vicious warrior capable of beating several yoroi bearers at a time by herself, intimidating, intelligent? Also, will not put up with Stan's bs anymore than Maleficent. ...On that score, is more likely than Maleficent to make him regret trying, since M'd probably only be amused and maybe zap the poor guy.
Minus: She's twelve! Twelve, for cryin' outloud! Also, you might not want to let persons wielding Kikoutei yoroi or the shakujo get anywhere near if she's gonna be evil.
Kaiba Mokuba Yugioh
In the League by default of his being put on the Lexx by his brother x.x
Plus: Fairly meticulous in arranging plans, willing to do research to pull things off, knowledgeable about poisons and to a lesser extent explosives... as devoted to Seto as his brother is to him, but more willing to make concessions and to risk ticking Seto off in order to get their help. If he needs it. See - Yugi-tachi are the only way out of a situation, therefore Seto will just live with it.
Minus: His presence and sense of humor insure that nobody will be able to trust anything they might have to eat onboard; is likely to take to tormenting Stan as the only person aboard whom he might be able to torment...
Pharaoh (alias Moto Yugi, whose body he inhabits), Yugioh
the villain
Who, having recovered his memories of Ancient Egypt, reverts to evil and attempts to reclaim his place as Pharaoh! Only this time of the world instead of just Egypt. <<;; Sadly, Yugi is locked in his soul room and can do nothing about this mess exceptbitch er, complain to Turtle about it.
Ruthless, arrogant, bloodthirsty and creative, with a commanding voice that almost makes one overlook the fact that he's what - 4, 5 feet tall? ;p ...I really shouldn't mock, considering I'm about 5 feet myself, but when he's looking up at everyone else!
Plus: Cannot be beaten at any game, due to the Puzzle 'o Cheating, also called the Millennium Puzzle. The definition of 'game' appears to be, if he calls it a game, it is. In addition, you have to win a game against him in order to get the thing away from him, so. Yeah. Cheating little sonofa >:p Also has command of various Shadow Powers, which I expect he'd be a lot more willing to use once embarked upon World Domination. And he's committed murder and driven people insane in canon. <<
Minus: He's not actually the world's greatest strategist, it seems to be pretty much the Puzzle. Is easily goaded into losing his temper and having moments of painfully dramatic self-doubt, and doesn't seem to listen to his friends much, even when they do make sense. Not that they'll hang around once he's really lost, unless maybe they think they can somehow get through to Yugi? Has really ticked off Yugi due to the being locked away thing, so he might useful if they could get him out...
Mode of Transport: The Lexx, duh!
Why'd you think Stanley got recruited? Living spaceship that's also capable of atmospheric flight and is also a weapon capable of destroying planets - either by powering up to blast them, or eating them, and usually both in the case of tasty debris. We know it is tasty because the Lexx can talk, (although it's not very bright) and has referred to planets as such. In the event of a total failure to beat Pharaoh, the plan is to board the Lexx and destroy the Earth. The biggest flaw with it would probably be the biological key aforementioned, which can only be taken when its bearer dies or um... well.
Let's just say someone would have to make Stan a very, very happy guy to get it the other way, yeah? And since he is pretty much straight, and the two women present would rather kill him? Not happening. Although, first he'd have to be stupid enough to tell them that, and weasel that he is, this wouldn't be likely either.
Introduce alcohol into this scenario and all bets are off. <<;;;
This is possibly the worst League ever, and in the event of the destruction of the Earth, they would shortly have some other set of actual heroes coming after them, I've no doubt.
