Mab needs a champion

[sleepyqueenie]

We are searching for an ideal champion for our queen.

You may suggest anyone from anything.
Short ficishness is allowed


Mabforever and me have already started a little list.

Dracula wouldn't be good enough for her. And I am a huge Dracula fan. - my personal opinion

Severus Snape

Voldemort

Bellatrix Lestrange

Edward Cullen shocking suggestion by mf
Eddy dead in 5 seconds or less?
"I need a champion." Mab pondered, gazing into her crystals.
"Brave, loyal, handsome," The blurry image in her crystal took form. She looked in closer at the pale shape of a man. "sparkly?"
Frik peeked over her shoulder. "Sparkly is fine, isn't it ma'am?"

Mab sighed. "Yes, sparkly's perfect. He is powerful, he will save the Old Ways." "Madam?" "Yes, Frik?" "He's .. dead and in another time and universe... Is that a problem?"

"Edward? Edward Cullen?"
He looked up from his melancholic state. "I don't like your name." Mab said. "I will call you Merlin."
The solemn vampire stayed quiet for a while before answering "Why would you do that?" He refrained from looking directly at the perfect fae woman.
"Because you will save my people. Merlin?" Edward was pouting. "Look at me when I speak."
He clenched his jaw. "I.. can't."
"Why?"
"Because I might.. bite you."
Mab shrugged. "My champion may bite me as long as he gives Britain back to the Old Ways."
"What do you need me to do?"
"Play a hero." Mab gloated. "Return magic to the land, defeat my enemies,"
"I er won't kill anyone."

"You're a freaking vampire! It's your job to kill people."
"I don't, you.. you long for blood.. I can not give you bloodshed. I can worship you forever, be your tragic lover."
"You won't fight for me?!" Mab screamed. "I won't take a useless toy boy." Her voice deepened. "You are a failure."
She frowned. Lightening struck the romantic depressed teenage vampire down. Mab disappeared back to her cave.

mf: So Edward can suck on Mab if he returns the country to the old ways :L
Aww that was amazing claps Mab won't take a depressed teenage toy boy :L

sq: That's the idea

Blind Mag
Mag has many fans/worshippers she could force to join Mab's side.

Captain Jack Sparrow = brilliant idea from Mabforever

sq:rofl

mf: I wonder what kind of relationship that would be

sq: eh electrified Jack
Jack panicks, runs around in circles. Mab rolls her eyes and shoots him down

mf: Mmm I dunno because he is able to talk himself out almost anything :L I'd love to see him tease her

sq: "I've got a jar of dirt! and guess what's inside it." Mab in shock.
"Give me back my underwear!"

mf: granted it'd result in his death but I bet it'd be with him teasing her first :L lol! oh yeah I sure it'd be something of purple lace

sq: yes... It would be such fun!

mf: obviously she'd kill him in the end but I bet till that with him being such a tease and a flirt she'd be teased beyond belief lmao I'd love to see him running about with her underwear in a jar of dirt :L

[Mabforever]

ROFL!!!! It's even better reading it the second time round, see the more ridiculous the bloody better :Lhaha class ;D !!

[sleepyqueenie]

It's amazing how many times Mab's underwear pops up in 'normal' conversation.

[Mabforever]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Rofl! It is isnt lol got to love our Mab ;D

[Arwen17]

She would kill Edward, he's useless.
You know she might actually find Jack charming since he's tricky with words. But he'd better not cross her ever or she'd kill him too.

Dracula and Voldemort are dominant personalities. They would not work well with her.
Severus and Bellatrix might work, but only under special circumstances. They are dominant unless they have a reason to play the submissive part.

The ideal champion for Mab is a loyal Merlin or a less-psycho Mordred.

[himiko]

Oooooh! I like this idea for a thread!

For the suggestions so far:

Dracula - I'm actually not sure on this one. He's capable of being very charming, and also physically powerful, so there could be advantages to having him on side. But its been a long time since I read the book XD

Voldemort- Don't think this one would work at all, Voldemort wants power for himself, he wants to be the one running the show. I don't think he'd take kindly to acting on behalf of someone else, he'd always act in his own interests. Not to mention, if we're talking the Potterverse, I can imagine his hatred of all muggles (including potential worshippers for Mab) and all muggleborn wizards would clash with Mab, who is going to want followers, and probably not complain about multiple wizards.

Snape- Hmmmm... Again, not really sure. I think it would be awesome. Snape is intelligent, has a good level of magical knowledge, he is one of the most gifted Occlumens in the world. Great as a spy, yes, and as a follower. But as a champion, Mab seems to want someone who could act as a leader of men, to bring people to her cause. And Snape, though I would totally fistbump him for his awesome snark and putdowns, is not well liked in the Potterverse, nor good looking or charismatic, or at least, not in the way Mab might want. As for him, would he work with her? A lot of the reason why he works with Dumbledore is to SPOILERS try and save Lily, and then to save Harry later, and probably because he respects Dumbledore himself END SPOILERS Hmmm... But yeah, if he could be convinced to serve Mab, he'd be useful, but not as a champion, I think.

Bellatrix- She's utterly devoted to Voldemort, which means either it would be impossible for Mab to have her on side (as it is very unlikely that either Voldemort or Mab would work for each other, or ever together), or possibly that she could prove equally as devoted to Mab, if she could be convinced. However, she is kind of deranged, making her a loose cannon, and whilst a lot of the wizarding world knows her face, I don't see her bringing people flocking to Mab. Again, possibly useful as a servant to Mab, maybe putting her darker magic talents to use, but as a champion, no. Again, the ideology might get in the way, as with Voldemort.

Edward Cullen- The first time Mab wakes up to find him watching her sleep, he'd be crispy fried I'm afraid I don't know much about the series beyond vague details.

Blind Mag- Meh. Maybe. I think Mag has what a lot of the others have lacked, which, as has been said, is the ability to reach out to, and influence, lots of people, being "the voice of Geneco". Mag could certainly spread the message. Celebrities in general could be useful for this. And if she turned her back on GeneCo in Mab's favour, it might stop the RepoMen coming after those eyes of hers, which might sweeten the deal on her side

Jack- Oh dear gods, I love this idea XD I have no idea whether this would work or not. On the one hand, I think Jack would irritate the living hell out of Mab. On another hand, Jack is a bit of a coward, so one wonders whether he'd be a bit cowed by Mab, and sort of be another Frik, more than anything. On the other, other hand, a lot of that cowardice seems to often be a front, a deception that he uses for getting around powerful enemies. He has faced down some fearsome types in his time.

Ummm... I don't know. Logically, Jack is pretty charming, he's a leader of pirates, the stuff of stories. So in that sense, he fulfills criteria of being able to bring people to worship Mab. Although, being a pirate, he'll also repel people, mainly people in positions of power and authority, which is a big downside. He's not a bad fighter, and has experience in dealing with the supernatural before. He's pretty intelligent, he's outsmarted, in crazy, bizarre, overly complicated and often infuriating ways, pretty much everyone in the series at one point or another. He's also, however, shown a willingness to double cross or sell people out to save his own skin, to risk others for his own plans, and only to do something when there's reward in it for him. On the other hand, he's also known to be self-sacrificing, on rare occasions when people he cares about are involved. Could Mab trust him to try and bring people around to the Old Ways?

Honestly, I don't see it working out, if only because I think they would infuriate each other no end, although I would pay good money to watch it happen. And I think Jack would need something in return to keep him interested. Maybe Mab could restore the Black Pearl for him There's a fic challenge for someone!

For further suggestions...

Perhaps Amber Sweet (also from Repo!)- she might not have much of a talent for singing, but she is SPOILER head of a massive (possibly the biggest in the world) company, with access to huge funds, and GeneCo's advertising power. She's already a leader of sorts, and has the ability to get the word out to people. And she can hire charismatic types to be her spokespeople if necessary...

I need to give this some more thought, its a tough question...

Dracula - I'm actually not sure on this one. He's capable of being very charming, and also physically powerful, so there could be advantages to having him on side. But its been a long time since I read the book XD
I was thinking of all the different dracula movies and how he is portrayed. Some of the movie-Draculas did seem to want a Queen as an equal. Other movie-Draculas only wanted a harem or 'brides', they weren't interested in equality with the women.
But none of the movie-Draculas would tolerate a women being the sole dominant. If Mab doesn't mind being an equal and sharing the power, then some of the Draculas might be possible.
I think Dracula would be a leader if people weren't so afraid of him (and for good reason!).

But yeah, if he could be convinced to serve Mab, he'd be useful, but not as a champion, I think.
I totally agree about Snape and Bellatrix.

Could Mab trust him to try and bring people around to the Old Ways?
The words "trust" and "Jack" should never be used in the same sentence.
But those two would be good for laughs. He'd be good in bed, but that's about it.

[sleepyqueenie]

I totally agree about the HP characters.
It would be such fun to see Mab try though.

Novel Dracula= no. Every character from novel Dracula= no.
none of the movie-Draculas would tolerate a women being the sole dominant obviously.
If Mab doesn't mind being an equal and sharing the power, then some of the Draculas might be possible. hmm which ones? Gary Oldman, Langella, Gerard Butler?

Amber Sweet interesting choice. Lots of money would come in handy.
*flash of Mab appearing before Paris Hilton* The awkward silence as they take in each other's clothes. The lonely bark of Hilton's dog before Mab silences it forever.

The words "trust" and "Jack" should never be used in the same sentence. lol

We'd probably need a real heroey hero.

Lord Aragorn: he's a leader, warrior, has a perfect reason to want to save fairy land

er what other heroes are there?

Etienne Navarre: and he is Rutger Hauer. Younger, handsome, brave, the best fighter, driven by revenge, not afraid of killing, dressed in black, melancholic, wants to kill a bishop.
Downside: he probably won't be thinking big enough for Mab. Now if his true love Isabeau were to die, more chance he'd be willing to serve Mab.

Doctor who: all space and time in worship of Mab. If only the man wasn't as unorganised as he is.

[Arwen17]

If Mab doesn't mind being an equal and sharing the power, then some of the Draculas might be possible. hmm which ones? Gary Oldman, Langella, Gerard Butler?

now wait a second, unless my memory is faulty, isn't Gerard the phantom of the opera, not dracula?

Gary Oldman is exactly who I was thinking about.
langella-haven't seen
Van helsing's Dracula Richard Roxburgh would want a harem, he does not tolerate equals (even if some fanfics enjoy painting him this way )
Majority of Draculas are predatory and want a harem.

Barnabas Collins! The reluctant vampire! But he would see Mab as just another Angelique. He'd run in terror in the other direction. teehee
--Dark Shadows - amazing american gothic soap opera from the 1960s
Nobody my age knows about it, I just know about it because my mom was a huge fan and we watched all 2000 episodes together when I was a kid. One of the longest running shows ever, it was so popular.

I think they're going to make a Dark Shadows movie in 2012? with Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins and Tim Burton as director. That sounds perfect! As long as Johnny keeps the humor down. Barnabas is a grim, serious, tragic character, not a comedian.

Lord Aragorn
uhh.... I think he'd think Mab was the queen of sauron or something. Aragorn is in love with "seelie elves", but Mab is most definitely "unseelie."

Ooooh! That could be interesting.

Although, I think Mab and the Doctor might clash on ideals. The Doctor is capable of being ruthless, but not in the way Mab is, I think- the Doctor will sacrifice the few to save the many, and sacrifice himself to save his friends, but sacrifice people to acheive his goals? Could be a problem. And unless he saw some direct benefit to bringing people back to Mab, he would probably think it was wrong to interfere. Maybe, if he trusted Mab enough, he might spread the word amongst a small group, enough to keep her alive. But at the end of the day, he's a traveller in time, he's not going to be a constant champion, he's going to be zooming in and out of time, with the only woman he'll ever truly love- his TARDIS

[sleepyqueenie]

unless my memory is faulty, isn't Gerard the phantom of the opera, not dracula? He is the Phantom ánd Dracula. In Dracula 2000.

Gary Oldman is exactly who I was thinking about. hehe he's great with wolves and powerfull, yeah they would probably get on.
langella-haven't seen He'd probably be too romantically for Mab. Though a business deal would be possible.

Majority of Draculas are predatory and want a harem. *looks at Christopher Lee and his multitude of female victims*

--Dark Shadows - amazing american gothic soap opera from the 1960s I want to see this, when I find time to.
I think they're going to make a Dark Shadows movie in 2012? with Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins and Tim Burton as director. That is correct.

Aragorn is in love with "seelie elves", but Mab is most definitely "unseelie." She could dress in white to give him the impression of seelie-ness.

I think Mab and the Doctor might clash on ideals. Really
Come on Doc, Mab and her people are in peril. You would want to save her.
She'd only need you to give her Britain back. One country to save an entire species, is that so much to ask?
Can your conscience carry the weight of another dead race?
Remember us. Dream of us. *mental hug to Rosanna Calvierri, and Mab*

if he trusted Mab enough, he might spread the word amongst a small group, enough to keep her alive That sounds exactly like him!
the only woman he'll ever truly love- his TARDIS aaaw
true love: a man and his box

[Arwen17]

He is the Phantom ánd Dracula. In Dracula 2000.
omg I didn't even realize its the same person. He looks so different in Dracula 2000 for some reason.

She could dress in white to give him the impression of seelie-ness.
Why would she ever do that?
You think Andais would dress in white?

If she did I'd think she'd lost her mind or was under a spell or something.

[Mabforever]

Dracula and Voldemort are dominant personalities. They would not work well with her.
See that became my way of thinking not with those in particular but in general Mab being dominant cancels out her champion also being dominant or it'll just go BOOM!
Severus and Bellatrix might work, but only under special circumstances. They are dominant unless they have a reason to play the submissive part.
They have no Lily/Voldie and dedicate them selves to the fae Queen instead?

The ideal champion for Mab is a loyal Merlin or a less-psycho Mordred.
Awww I like psycho Mordred ;D

Dracula - Unless it's Van Helsing Dracula I havent seen him.

Snape- nor good looking he has Alan Rickman's voice nough said but he tends to be more anti social than Mab herself so that could be a massive flaw in that plan :L

Edward Cullen- The first time Mab wakes up to find him watching her sleep, he'd be crispy fried I'm afraid I don't know much about the series beyond vague details. she might not be offended besides Mab and Edward never sleep he's fast, strong, and a mind reader and if he can read minds he can get in touch with the people. One small prob could be the vamp thing and not being able to talk to them in sunlight for fear of glittering which Mab also does. But I dont think he'd be interested in helping Mab.

Blind Mag- She has the followers Mab could grant her a deal with her eyes. I just feel theres something missing from her though which may be a nasty streak.I dunno and I havent even seen repo tbh :L

Jack - Honestly, I don't see it working out, if only because I think they would infuriate each other no end, although I would pay good money to watch it happen. But those two would be good for laughs. He'd be good in bed, but that's about it. thats the most important part about him

Amber Sweet - Dont know much about her other than she's a surgery and zydrate junkie.
*flash of Mab appearing before Paris Hilton* The awkward silence as they take in each other's clothes. The lonely bark of Hilton's dog before Mab silences it forever. well I love Paris so I wouldnt mind.

Etienne Navarre: and he is Rutger Hauer. Younger, handsome, brave, the best fighter, driven by revenge, not afraid of killing, dressed in black, melancholic, wants to kill a bishop.
Downside: he probably won't be thinking big enough for Mab. Now if his true love Isabeau were to die, more chance he'd be willing to serve Mab.
No idea but sounds good manly cos he's Rutger but then again his Vortigern screwed up before.

Doctor who: all space and time in worship of Mab. If only the man wasn't as unorganised as he is.
Now theres a very, very interesting choice. Now barr the time travel bit which could be a problem. Im thinking off Rosanna really he wanted to help so Im not sure exactly what he'd do for Mab but Im sure he'd be inclined to do something unless he had some reason to want her dead.
*mental hug to Rosanna Calvierri, and Mab*
Aww read your comment after I replied. Agreed huggles to them both was so sad on both counts Mab's desperation drove her to destruction and Rosanna's drove her to suicide

She could dress in white to give him the impression of seelie-ness.
Why would she ever do that?
You think Andais would dress in white?
No idea about Andais but apparently in her day Mab dressed in white.

[Arwen17]

but apparently in her day Mab dressed in white.
where where where?


Edit:
ah I just reread my book.
"..was a woman dressed in white, wearing a golden crown set with amber.."

So why was she wearing white? White is a color that implies purity, was she still her maiden aspect at this point?
But she didn't seem very pure when she burned those Romans to death.

Its so hard for me to imagine Mab actually wearing something other than purple/blue/black because it just doesn't fit her personality.
Red I could believe because she's very lustful. But the other colors...eh.

[Mabforever]

but apparently in her day Mab dressed in white.
where where where?
The bit you've already found, I can understand your shock :L


Edit:
ah I just reread my book.
"..was a woman dressed in white, wearing a golden crown set with amber.."
Thats the part

So why was she wearing white?
I dont know I was shocked when I read it. After a while I've got used to imagining her wear it but she'd still have to have the black eye make up.

White is a color that implies purity, was she still her maiden aspect at this point?
But she didn't seem very pure when she burned those Romans to death.
Well as you say she doesn't sound very pure burning Romans but perhaps that is pure for her like because thats a natural thing for her wear it's horrifying to us it's a celebration for her But even in the maiden aspect it's hard to imagine why Mab would where white it's so very un Mab. Then again she's the light to Idath's darkness which we sort of figured out before....... Mab is very difficult isn't she. *massages brain*

Its so hard for me to imagine Mab actually wearing something other than purple/blue/black because it just doesn't fit her personality.
Red I could believe because she's very lustful. But the other colors...eh.
Same and I'd have love to see her in red, if it was back when she was in her maiden aspect I may have been able to imagine her in a light green or pale green. Couldn't imagine her in white, orange pink or neon colours though it'd have been funny to see Mab dressed in neon colours.....never mind bad idea *hides from Mab's wrath*
