Canon is House MD. Voice-testing an OC.

Okay, now what?

You go and binge-watch the show in reruns and just decide in the middle of the night - after two drinks, by the way - to create me so that your friends have somebody to bounce off of? It doesn't work that way. I need to have a complete history, and an actual purpose for being around. Plus, fandom OCs? Not always well-received.

You've got to figure me out more. Throw me in memes, whatever. I don't think you'll get anyone to go along with that one idea you have. But I can get a backstory. Make some friends. Maybe actually see some patients. That'd be novel, huh?

At least I haven't seen a House around to ogle me yet. That's a plus.

If it's any consolation, fandom OCs are usually worlds better than canon Mary Sues.

It's nervewracking. I'm basically here on a whim with like half of an idea of who I am. That doesn't work for me.

This is going to seem like bad advice, but try not to stress too much about it. If there's one thing I've learned from being here, it's that the finer details (backstory, personal headcanon, etc.) rarely happen when you want them to. They seem to hit out of nowhere, or through interaction.

Just spend a little while working with what you have, and the rest will come to you eventually.

Thank you. That does make me feel better. I'm hoping once my mun gets some more tags, I'll be able to talk a bit more. And then maybe something will come to me.

I'm Kari.

Meme communities like bakerstreet can be a good opportunity, if you're patient. They can be a little frustrating (overrun by smut/shipping scenarios, or just a lack of replies to the ones you do like), but don't let it deter you. Just keep posting between there and here, and eventually things will work out.

[He returns the gesture and shakes her hand -- his own a bit calloused from the years of wielding the family's katana.

Somewhere, he's always torn when a lady offers her hand to him. His father had been courtly enough to kiss the back of a lady's hand when she offered it, and there's something about that level of respect that he still reveres. Unfortunately for that gesture, he is still Vergil, and Vergil doesn't freely give displays of affection, no matter how innocent they are.]

Vergil. It's a pleasure.

[And for once, he isn't being sarcastic.]

The pleasure's mine, Vergil. How long have you been around?
