#STARTER. ( chrisjen avasarala. )

[prophecyread]

        This is a permanent starter call for the character CHRISJEN AVASARALA from the Syfy/Amazon show & book series by James S. A. Corey, The Expanse. (Though I am always happy to work in other verses, so even if your muse is not a sci-fi based character or if you don’t really know much about The Expanse and still want to interact, feel free to let me know.) You can like this post or reply to it (especially if you’re a multi-muse, specifying which characters you have that you’d like to interact with this character) to let me know that you’re a roleplay blog that would be interested in receiving random starters from Chrisjen when / if I feel like tossing stuff out there.  It may also result in random memes from them or being tagged in stuff that fits etc.  

   You can find Chrisjen’s master navigation post HERE which does (or will) include videos that offer insight into their character, gifsets, quotes, a biography and verse write ups to help you get to know more about them.  You can find all my permanent starter calls for this blog HERE.

      @nomadshield liked for a starter from chrisjen / expanse.

             The moment of their reunion had been unsettling for her -- she was unaccustomed to being caught off guard, and of all of the people that she might have expected to see in Johnson’s employ on Tycho station.... Steve Rogers would have been at the bottom of her list.  She had made a point not to look for him, to watch his movements after his departure from the U.N.’s employ.  She was many things, but she had no desire to add stalker to the list.  Or desperate. 

     She had wondered, from time to time, when her thoughts wandered, or when she saw an almost familiar build, where he had gone.  What he was doing with his life.  If he was happy.  If he regretted his decision to leave the U.N. behind.  To leave her behind.  But his life was his to live, and she had a husband, a daughter in law, grand children, and more than her fair share of political intrigue and corruption to entangle herself in.

     Treason to commit.  She wondered, when Johnson had introduced Rogers and his team as those that would ensure that no rebel OPA members might bring her to harm, if he knew that Rogers had once served in her U.N. security task force.  If he had taken some small delight in watching her, when Rogers was ‘introduced’ as if they had never met.  As if they didn’t know each other.  She wondered, if Johnson, if Steve, had noticed the momentary reaction, the slight pull of her shoulders, the tilt of her jaw, the press of lips.  Oh, but he was as handsome, and regal, as ever.  Those brilliant blue eyes, haunted, as ever. 

     Now, in the luxurious stateroom that had been provided for her, the silence between them seemed heavy, and painful, but all she offered was a quiet smile, passable for serene, for those that did not know her.  She wondered, too, if the rooms were under observation and so, for the moment, she kept her words tame, rather than tender, or aching.  “It’s good to see you again, Steve.”  Fingers, still nimble, caught at the tie of the shawl around her shoulders, shedding it and her consoles aside, shedding the emerald earrings after.  They were ornate, but heavy, and the journey had been long.  “You seem to have done well for yourself here.”  She refrained from the obvious.  That of all places he could have gone, how it had to be here, among those that -- at least some of which -- were responsible for the death of her only child.  He wouldn’t have done it only to hurt her, no.  He must believe in something, or someone, to have come here, to have become this.

@magicandsciencemuses takeshi gets a lyric starter from chrisjen!

             “There was a time that I could stand here, looking out on this place I’ve called home my entire life, and think, ‘what a wonderful world’.  And I wonder -- has it changed, to become this ... waking nightmare?  Or was I simply blinded by hope.  Or perhaps it was merely arrogance, hm?”  A glance, given, over her shoulder towards the man that had been allocated to protect her -- from the very people she in turn wished to eradicate, the threats against humanity, the rebels that would strip the very core of human existence away into nothing more than scrabbling for scraps.   The fact that once upon a time, she and he might have been at odds, and now, he seemed to be all that stood before her and certain, final death .... had not escaped her.

       @magicandsciencemuses - takeshi kovacs liked for a starter from chrisjen. 

          “Please -- Mr. Kovacs, allow me to make myself abundantly clear.”  The Deputy Undersecretary’s gaze was level, dark, practically daring him to interrupt her.   “I could give a good goddamn what lengths my husband went to, to arrange --”  A long, elegantly boned hand twisted upwards, a gesture flung in his direction to indicate, apparently, him, as a whole.  “-- this fucking nonsense.”  Exasperation met a comfortable sort of frustration, coated in an undeniable tone of old, but still present love for the man that had put this plan into action.   “I hardly put up with the guards that already follow me about like forlorn puppies waiting for a scrap to be dropped at my heels, but it seems that I have very little choice in this matter.”  Two near assassination attempts within the last six months had made certain that the U.N. and her husband had both put their foot down -- but that did not mean she had to take the situation lying down.   “Do what you must, if you must, to bring this business to an end, but for the love of all that is holy, stay out of my way.”

@wanderingguest bobbie gets a starter from chrisjen.

            “I -- find myself at a loss.”  The confession was quiet, dark eyes turning up to study the features of the tall Martian that had, somehow, become so near and dear over the last few -- days.  Weeks.  Time blurred, and sped up and dilated in funny ways under pressure.   “To find the words to thank you, for all that you have done for Ear--  “  Lips compress, and her expression softens slightly at the edges.  “For me.  I ... rarely find myself so quickly indebted to others.  I do my best to avoid it, in fact.  And yet.  Here we are.”  Once again, in the med bay of the Rocinante, the auto doc running yet another scan to confirm that she had managed to escape, not just with her life, but intact.  “Thank you, Bobbie.”

        @rubiesintherough - stellae didn’t ask for a starter but this canon quote is too good not to use. // from chrisjen.

      “I have a file with nine hundred pages of analysis and contingency plans for war with Mars, including fourteen different scenarios about what to do if they develop an unexpected new technology. My file for what to do if an advanced alien species comes calling is three pages long. And it begins with step one: Find God.”

@wanderingguest alex gets a starter from chrisjen.

            “You’ve never been, have you?”  She watched the viewscreens on the Roci’s bridge, displaying the after effects of the missiles that had struck her world, her home.  Footage played out, on the ground reporters, newscasters playing the strike over and over again, tracking radars playing real -- or simulated, for all she could tell -- trajectories of the attack.  Millions.  Dead.  She felt cold, and sick, nausea sour in the back of her throat.  Thankfully, at least, the footage was now muted.  It had been the same, for nearly two hours now.  Her fingers ached, white knuckle grip against the chair that she stood behind.  Her voice was low, and maybe a hint rougher than usual, but perhaps not enough so that he would notice.  “To Earth.”  A soft breath drawn in.  “Not that I could blame you, I suppose.  I have never been to Mars.  Never ... wanted to.  Never had the interest.  Never ... saw beyond my own front door.”

@magicandsciencemuses rick gets a lyric starter from chrisjen!

         “We were both broken in our own ways.”  Were.  Are.  Only one of them, existing, breathing, heart beating, in its own painful rhythm while her son’s had stopped ...  so many years before.  So far as she knew. “But I believe he was a good man.  His ... son, reminds me of him, in some new way, every day.”  Sometimes it was like looking at a ghost.  “I’m sorry, Colonel Flag, for what you have suffered. If there is anything that I can do for you, you need only ask.”

        @notthescarsyoucansee liked for a short starter from chrisjen.

            “Perhaps we should begin with the basics,” Chrisjen suggested, after a long moment of surveying the woman .... android -- the most lifelike of any synthetic build that Chrisjen had ever seen -- standing in front of her.  A gift and one she had every intention of looking in the mouth.  Treacherous times led to slippery enemies, and this was nothing if not a time of treachery.  “Tell me your designation, please, your -- capabilities, and restrictions.  I’d also be extremely curious as to know your purpose, your function, if such has been assigned, and if so, by whom.”

like and or reply to this post if you would like to be considered a main go to for writing and scheming and plot ideas that i come up with for this character.  i would prefer that we’d had some ic or ooc interactions but honestly if you just really love this character and want to do something, feel free to hit the heart.  

i do require that we be mutuals.  if you are following me and or a side blog and i don’t follow you you can always send me a politely worded message asking me to check out your blog etc. but please be patient and respect my right to not follow or write with someone if i am not comfortable for any reason!  

being a main means i will randomly poke you with ideas, might drop starters, memes, make aesthetics, gif sets etc. for us and that you will be among those i go to first with any new plot arcs that i come up with.  if at any time you are no longer interested in being a main, simply let me know and i will remove your name from the list below.  

if you are a multi please reply or send me an inbox or im message with what character(s) of yours you see as being best compatible with CHRISJEN so that i can make notes accordingly.

if you don’t know the character but would like to get more info on them to make a decision about whether you want to be a main you can check out my master navigation post HERE or the character list HERE which has primary links to info here & on the web.  some of them don’t have a lot of info up here yet but wiki links should be semi helpful for the basics.  you can also check out bio, headcanons, verse write ups if there are any.  videos i post here can be incredibly insightful for basic overview / dialogue / syntax / personality / general clues about the characters and whether you think yours is compatible.  you are always welcome to send specific questions you have to my inbox.  there might be a few with very little info actually available, or none at all, and i apologize for that - i am working on getting some basic info up for everyone but i am crazy busy with real life responsibilities right now and sometimes i just want to focus on ic writing rather than blog organization & info.  

MAINS for Chrisjen Avasarala.
