Thomas Jefferson

To contact Thomas Jefferson, or the mun for Thomas Jefferson, please leave a comment here. If communicating with Thomas, please indicate the medium of communication. While he is quite taken with modern technology, sometimes he demonstrates a deplorable lack of familiarity with its use.

I've decided to start another roleplaying game at thecenter_net -- the current one I'm modding is plot-heavy and intensive, and I'd also like to have one more leisurely, kind of a muse playground with minimal plot.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, check out the below:

I suppose this is the journal that I have been given.

I admit I am unsure how to begin it, though I have communicated via writing to close friends in distant places through my life as a simple fact of existence. However, it is my writings that have survived of me, and it seems fitting that I introduce myself to this world in the same method.

My name is Thomas Jefferson. Evidently, in this world, that name has survived the test of time, as a pillar of the principles of this nation. I am not that man. We shared circumstance of birth, belief and action, but not circumstance of victory.

Since that is now said, I would view with great appreciation any who would help me grow accustomed to this world, as I am not suited for it.

As for those who have already provided such help, you have my gratitude.

Th. Jefferson

Just to let you guys know - since I already self-evidently think you're all awesome - a friend of mine and I have started a new RP. It's fantasy-based, multifandom, slash, het and multipartner friendly.

The Part of You That No One Sees is Paranoid

You are balanced, peaceful, and sincere. You're the type of person who goes along to get along. And you're definitely afraid of rocking the boat. Underneath it all, you fear your world falling apart. You'll put up with a situation that you don't like in fear of changing it. Disruptive and forceful people intimidate you - and sometimes exploit you.

If you've just been unexpectedly friended by this journal, don't be alarmed! I've been going through my other RP journals and friending people so that I can watch them from this one, which is my default journal. Most likely, you've made friends with one of my other muses, which include:

buzz_me - Daniel Buzzetti (Heroes OC)
cop_or_con - Charlie Crews (NBC's Life)
red_dust_rising - Derek Rayne (Red Haven)
some_flowers - Rorschach/Walter Kovacs (Watchmen)
once_a_cop - Boyd Langton (Dollhouse)
withyourbrain - Rachel Young (Eleventh Hour)
man_and_monster - Emil Blonsky/Abomination (Incredible Hulk movieverse)

If you want, feel free to friend this journal back; no need or obligation, though.

Paternal DNA tells all, I suppose.

1. You have 24 hours alone with me to do whatever you want. Preferably not kill me, but if that's what you so desire... Truth be told though, what would you do in the time given? Anything, like I said. And that means anything from having tea and talking, to anything of a sexual nature.

2. Ask me a serious question about one to three of the following:

1. Friends
2. Sex
3. Music
4. Drugs
5. Love
6. Loss
7. The Past
8. The Future

No matter how rude, sexual or confidential I will answer honestly.

I recently picked up a Rorschach muse, to mess around with, and, to my surprise, I found that he was really easy to play. Not only that, but it seemed like I played him, at heart, a lot like I play Thomas Jefferson. So these are some musings about that.

You Are a Red Velvet Cupcake

You are sensual and self-indulgent. If it feels good, you'll do it. You're drawn to gorgeous, sexy people. You can't help it if you want your friends to be attractive! You are like a cupcake because you are completely decadent and over the top. You believe life is too short to deprive yourself. You rather overdo it than go without.

OOC, because this is a little meta for TJ:

The magic circle is disappointingly small, hardly enough room for a pace or two; the walls are close enough to touch both side at once. Jefferson strongly dislikes such, especially after the mental and emotional distress of the summoning. He does not react well to being confined so.

He frowns, his arms crossed over his body, regarding the Slayer before him with a cool gaze. "You seem to be injured," he remarks.

Andie, partway through bandaging her bicep, shoots Jefferson a sardonic look. "Really," she drawls.

My Dearest Mr. H:

I do admire your commitment to your principles, as well as your firm stance when it comes to the execution of your duties at this company. However, your intended rearrangements of the structure of my department (Research and Development) are entirely without cause and unsuited to my style of leadership and management. I must request that you cease your attempts at overreaching your authority, and instead concern yourself with that which falls beneath your supervision.

Your ever humble servant,
Th. Jefferson

PS: You shall not convince me otherwise; do cease your efforts at such, as they may only cause trouble in the long run.

1. Who are the NPCs / supporting cast members in your character's life? (if you don't have any, feel free to invent some now!)

Thomas Jefferson has a couple, but not too many, as pretty much everyone he knew is dead. In the main 'verse I have him in (the haunting the internets verse), invisible NPCs include John Adams (not Abigail because now she's a PC. Holla rememberthelady!), James Madison, Martha (his wife), and, possibly most importantly, Sally Hemmings, with occasional mentions of people like Aaron Burr or Benjamin Franklin.

2. How much detail do you put into them?

Happily, I don't have to put much detail into them. The work's already been done for me. But as to the details of their personal relationships, the way they interact, I do tend to think it through.

3. Do you choose PBs for your NPCs?

Not yet.

4. Do they ever have their own stories / speaking roles?

I'm starting to get into some prompt response, so hopefully I can do some stuff with the NPCs Jefferson has known; most of them, though, are in the past, so current storylines, not so much.

5. What roles do the NPCs play in storylines involving your character?

Mostly, they contribute to the psychology. Jefferson is the sum of everything he was and everyone he knew.

John Adams brings out the important and mostly dormant side of him, the one that prizes friendship over ideology, is willing to compromise, and lets go of his black-and-white view of the world; James Madison was a lifelong friend, and he knew how to draw out Jefferson's intellectual vigor without making him feel trapped in politics; Martha was his first and dearest love, and his pain at losing her drives a lot of the emotional arcs I put him in; finally, Sally Hemmings is incredibly important to him, both in how he felt about her and his lingering and absolutely unavoidable guilt about the exploitation that was inevitable given the relationship between them.

6. Has an NPC or supporting cast member ever stolen the show and become one of your main characters?

Not yet, but they're all so awesome that it's only a matter of time.

7. Have you ever killed off an NPC to support a plot or storyline? How did it work out?

Well. They're all already dead? But yes, in Jefferson's modern universe, I had Martha die offscreen, so to speak, to mirror her real death in history. That plot catapulted him into grief, which in turn, made some really awesome things develop between him and Hamilton.
