Yes, I'm THAT bored.
So I've put this to some of you already and might as well have it on record. I went out and watched all available seasons of True Blood a while ago, and afterwards I realised some of the characters have a passing similarity to the SH gang.
Sooo, there's what I figure:
Both blonde, both pretty, both work full time as a waitress, both friendly, both are/were in a relationship with a mysterious dark vampire (Bill/Dacian) that no one else seems to approve of, both are A+, and most importantly, both have a knack for getting into serious trouble.
Bill Compton --> Dacian Love
The mysterious vampire in question. Both arrived as the first of their kind in a small village, both are for the most part disliked by the populance, both fell in love with a pretty blonde waitress (Sookie/Cassie), both rather old fashioned, both have a young changeling to look after (Jessica/Vivian), both prefer A+, and both would/have risk their lives for said blonde waitress.
Sam Merlotte --> Edward Johns
Both own a business in the food industry, both are competing with a vampire they dislike (Bill/Dacian) for the love of a certain blonde waitress (Sookie/Cassie), both are kind, both are heroic, both have risked death to save someone, and although Ed can't turn into a dog, he has a pet one.
Jessica Hamby --> Vivian Jones
Both young, both were turned against their will, both went through a wee bit of a rebellious phase (Jess moreso), both had to leave their families, both were turned by the vampire (Bill/Dacian) in love with the blonde waitress in order to save their lives, both died virgins, and both have managed to settle down and find love (Hoyt/Scotty).
Hoyt Fortenberry --> Scotty Kovac
Less similarities here. However, both are humans who fell in love with a changeling (Jessica/Vivian) and they're sickenly sweet together.
Terry Bellefleur --> Rickie Connery
Both returned from war, both work in a bar of sorts, both have an acute case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, both seem to be finding love with a redhead, and both can be a hardarse if the need calls for it.
Eric Northman --> Silas Rosier
Both own a club of sorts, both have a bitchy female assistant (Pam/Jacaranda), both are powerful and/or respected in their own way, both place no value on human life and are out for their own ends, both are mostly emotionless, both are mostly disliked by the other main characters, both are incredibly snarky and sarcastic, and both keep interefering with (Bill/Dacian's) lives, once by using (Sookie/Cassie) as a pawn.
Godric --> Samuel Jacobs
Again, less similarites, but they're both very old by vampire standards, both wise, and both calm pacifists.
SPECIAL MENTIONS:
Pam --> Jacaranda Mulciber
Both are bitchy, both hang out with sociopathic club owners (Eric/Silas), both take their shoes and fashion seriously, and both know what they want and will run you down for it. Except, Pam will do it with a stilleto through your skull whereas Jac is disturbed by physical violence. Pam also has no trouble keeping up with Eric, whereas Silas's path of destruction has brought Jac to the verge of mental breakdown. So, close, but not quite.
Pam --> Magdalena Marquis
She's a vampire, she's bitchy, and she's everything Pam is and more. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the nessesary relationships to the other characters, but if anything happens, she's first on our list. [/ul]
Anyone I miss? Other similarities I should have brought up? A character you think suits the TB/SH characters better than the ones I put here? Shoot.
Naturally, the main difference would be Ed got Cassie in the end, not Dacian, but for a while it worked. And, according to Tiggs, "Eric is just sweet and innocent compared to Silas," which is quite a statement considering Eric tortures people in his basement. XD[/blockquote][/justify]
