Bashir doesn't resemble Leon in the slightest, though
...not really, does he, aside from a certain stubborn tenacity in the face of mystery that they both exhibit in their own ways. I'm beginning to realize that my perception of his character is roughly 13 years out of date and about as dusty as one might expect. I was never looking for much beyond the surface back then. Y'know, as in, never really considered the implications and depths of any background info revealed, just sort of took everybody relatively at face value. And that's another reason I'm keen on exploring this from a fanfic perspective - I've found in the last seven or so years that reading and/or writing fic leads me to deeper exploration of character. I can't write a body very well without some sort of understanding of what's underneath the surface, and even just reading fic - the whole text accompaniment (vs. just the visual presentation by actors or animation) tends to be more enlightening, give a character more solid dimension...ack. I don't know that I'm making a whole lot of sense, but reading a character (fanwork or canon) tends to help me get a better grasp on him than I get just from watching canon.
I haven't gone poking at your RP just yet, but I'm building a foundation to get there. Found a fan comm, found a fic site, read a few more things. Haven't stumbled into any all-out porn just yet, but I've read a couple of tastefully mild two-paragraph scenes and one fairly explicit make-out that did the scene-cut as soon as all the clothes came off. And the squeamishness is on a swift decline, so I'll probably be up for genuine porn in no time. ^_^♥
I do believe I'm going to like this as a fandom experience. ^_^
