Indeed

Ever read the Perfumed Garden?

[TheGlyphstone]

So just to float the idea, but how are we handling multiple characters from the same myth/story cycle? Like if someone wants to play a dark Jasmine, would they have to interlink their story with Captain Whitebread's Jafar? It's not relevant yet, but an idea ahead of time might avoid issues later.

[Captain Whitebread]

I specifically went for the 'pre-Aladdin' backstory for Jafar.  If Jasmine shows up, Jafar would be polite and respectful.  They beat him fair and square so he moved on.  If she wants to stir up the past so far from home, that would be her decision.

Just because they are from the same source does not mean that they have the same relationships. After all, they are in someone else's court and need to follow the rules of etiquette and diplomacy....

[TheGlyphstone]

Nah, but like for example the previous iteration of this story featured a Jasmine who had killed Jafar and stolen his secrets. That's obviously an incompatible retelling of the Aladdin mythos with your character because he is clearly not dead, so if characters from a shared mythos should work together story-wise, it wouldn't be a functional character here.

The alternative would be a 'nexus of stories' sort of meta-universe; your character is from a reality where Jafar's story has him leave Agrabah, where in another reality the story has him, say, eaten by a tiger.

[Captain Whitebread]

I'd be willing to work with anyone playing Jasmine to come up with a workable backstory that the two of us could share.  Hell, even changing Jafar's name solves the issue.  If it comes to pass, I can change his name.  Never been a fan of the name anyway.  I'm sure a thousand and one nights has a number of evil sorcerers.

I'm surprised you didn't nab a pic of Jafar from the new live-action Aladdin movie. He's apparently generating a lot of buzz.

[Captain Whitebread]

Couldn't find any of him in costume.

[TheGlyphstone]

There's the promotional pic, easy to crop off the sides and use that.

But you get the concern I was voicing, at least, and hoping Sidhe already had an answer in mind?

What a horrible costume. I will stick with what I have.

[SidheLady]

Honestly, if we have characters from the same story, I'll let the two players negotiate and figure it out.

[TheGlyphstone]

It really is awful. They couldnt even get the headdress right.

[Kore]

Yeeaaa... I certainly won't be paying to go see that trainwreck, but I might wait til it comes on the movie channels.

[TheGlyphstone]

The only live action Disney reboot I care about is The Lion King, and only because of the voice-acting list. John Oliver is Zazu, Chiwetel Ejiofor(Black PantherDoctor Strange) is Scar, James Earl Jones is Mufasa...

[SidheLady]

Yeah...I dont see the point in watching live-action when the original animated is pretty damned good

Chiwetel was in Doctor Strange, not Black Panther :P

Movies I don't want "live-action" remakes of: things with animated/talking animals

Movies I DO want live-action remakes of: Treasure Planet & Atlantis

[TheGlyphstone]

Chiwetel was in Doctor Strange, not Black Panther :P

Derp, my bad.
