Why not - this is a deserving classic. Courtesy, this time round, of dolorous_ett

Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I'll give you either:

(a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon,
(b) a reason he/she sucks,
(c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes,
(d) five things that never happened to that character, or
(e) five people that character never fell in love with and why.

For the purposes of this exercise, my fandoms can be defined as Doctor Who (including SJA but not including Torchwood), Harry Potter, Narnia, the Wimseyverse, "Master and Commander", Arthur Ransome, Star Trek: TOS and DS9, John Buchan, Dalziel and Pascoe (bookverse only, unless you count my belief that the TV characters have been gradually replaced by pod people) and Wolfram von Eschenbach (just to be pretentious). I also tentatively append the Vorkosiverse, as I haven't read all of canon yet. I would like to add Hermann Kant's "Die Aula", but I think I am in a fandom of one on that count (though one day I might crack and reveal my theory as to why canon as it stands doesn't stack up, and what conclusions we might draw from this - other than that our viewpoint character is charming, but ultimately a self-centred idiot, if not something worse).

Five things that never happened to Wieldy:

1. He never bought a car; they were just too strongly associated with work and being on duty. Though he did borrow Edwin's when the need arose.

2. He never told the Fat Man how glad he was that that he was his boss, because he'd never be allowed to live something as soft as that down. But Wield's been a copper a long time, and even if Dalziel sometimes looked like a monster to Ellie or Peter, he knows how bloody lucky he was that Andy never cared who you fancied, as long as you did a good job. It could have been very different.

3. He's never - well, not since he was a confused teenager - wished to be anything other than what he is, though he'd often wished the world was less hostile, but sometimes he looks at Rosie playing with her dog, and feels a slight pang of regret that he'll never have a kid.

4. He never did quite convince Edwin that a house is not the same as a stockroom.

5. He never took to religion, though he did take to going to Enscombe Church now and again (because it was part of village life, and the vicar and his wife were nice people who deserved support, and no, Edwin, it was nothing to do with the fact that said vicar suited a cassock...)
