head_overheelsASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider topping you into apping, etc.
WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!
In this way we talk at each other, which is fun.
I play Kodachi Kuno, Stacy Rowe, and Ty Lee.

Date: 2010-02-10 07:44 am (UTC)What is the most "holy shit awesome" moment in any or all of the canons you play from?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-10 07:56 am (UTC)Well. During the last boss fight, after The Power Of Friendship allows Souji to get back up and fight the Final Boss even after it did its instakill on him, he just RIPS THEM OFF HIS FACE and throws them off screen because he finally found the "truth" which is the whole theme of the game. And it's not a surprise at all because if you're at all familiar with tropes you know it's going to happen as soon as he puts them on for the first time but it is still just so phenomenally badass that you can't help but fall in love with it.
Marvel: Marvel really has a lot of these, but just to pick on that relates to my character personally, it would be in his Blend In (http://skinofalizard.livejournal.com/1782.html#cutid1) mini, when he smashes Northstar in the face.
Wild ARMs 3: Again, it has a lot of them, but without a doubt the one involving my character is when she takes out the most powerful demon alive on her own, blows up his base, and then escapes after being left for dead.
I have a transcript but it is super long so I won't do that to you orz
I like this question, same one for you!

Date: 2010-02-10 08:57 am (UTC)Daria: Hmm! Stacy-wise, definitely her snapping on Tiffany in Fat Like Me. On the whole... I think that's actually my biggest one, no other scene has ever made me go "holy shit" like that. Humor-wise, though, Daria's entire family except for Daria herself tripping out on poisonous berries on a camping trip is pretty great.
Avatar: The Ba Sing Se/Lake Laogai reveal. Avatar had been progressing more and more to going from "really really good for a show on Nick" to "really really good," and Ba Sing Se turning out to be a creepy, vaguely Orwellian utopia was the big moment that switched things over. The first scene where you get to watch all three Dangerous Ladies in action against the Gaang was also tremendous, though.
Okay, so what's even going on with Victor/the former Weir & DeFilippis characters that Yost & Kyle didn't ceremoniously kill off now? I am woefully out of touch on the X-Books these days.

Date: 2010-02-10 04:51 pm (UTC)After that, he joined Young X-Men in issue 6, in what was basically the only good issue of it, and proceeded to, along with Santo, be the only good thing in all twelve issues the series got before being canceled.
Then he's kind of just faded into the background. He took an arrow to the gut in the big Dark X-Men/Utopia fight, but he's okay and still a sort of D-List background character that shows up fairly regularly when they need someone to give lines. He's getting a vignette in the next Nation X coming out at the end of the month where he is sent to Limbo. Again.
Similar question for you. I admit to falling out of touch with Avatar after the eclipse episodes. What went on with Ty Lee?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 04:12 am (UTC)So she turns on Azula to save Mai, who had previously turned on Azula to save Zuko (which sends Azula down a spiral that ends in her being batshit insane and in an asylum post-canon), and then Azula throws them both in prison and at some unspecified point Ty Lee joins the Kyoshi Warriors and teaches them chi-blocking and so she randomly shows up near the end all like "HI THESE ARE MY NEW BEST FRIENDS NOW" and she latches onto two Kyoshi Warriors who... have Azula and Mai's hairstyles. And she joined a group of characters who all dress exactly the same and wear identical facepaint when she has a complex about having grown up in an environment very similar to that, and she gets absolutely no storyline resolution whatsoever with Azula or Mai, the two characters she was tied so closely to for her entire existence in canon up to that point. I'm sure they meant well but oh god, it's just a poorly executed mess of unfortunate implications.
... so, um. Yeah. sob. On a related note, lamest thing canon has done to Anole?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 04:24 am (UTC)I actually am pretty okay with the actual canon there is for Anole! Some people hate the PTSD stuff, but I think it is super interesting and love playing with it, so nyah.
My BIG PROBLEM with Anole is that outside of Skottie Young, Mike Choi, and one or two others, no one can draw him. They do so many things that just make him hideous, from making his right arm longer than his entire body, with fingers the size of his head, to...just...doing this (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/Blackjack1223/Nation_X_001_005.jpg) to the poor kid. It makes it very difficult to make icons for an already difficult to icon character.
Is there anything you wish you got to bring up with your characters that you never get to? Like, aspects of their personality you never show, or interests they have that you don't get to bring up?

Date: 2010-02-11 07:05 am (UTC)What drew you to app the three you have now?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 08:14 am (UTC)Stacy was... well, I always loved Stacy a lot. But basically in September '06, I was playing Kodachi and I was playing Hyde and I really, really wanted a character who was actually nice and inclined to socializing with people. And one morning I realized that Stacy would be perfect as the antithesis of the characters I was playing, and from that moment on I was deadset on playing her in CFUD.
Ty Lee I was considering apping off and on for pretty much the three or four months after I finished Book Two of Avatar. But I wasn't sure on how to play her as a three-dimensional character, so I put it off. Then Zuko apped and I realized I was going to have to app Ty Lee the immediate round after or my window would be gone because someone else would have gotten her. Thankfully, The Beach aired the same week I started working on the app, and that gave me a lot of insight on playing Ty Lee. Basically, Ty Lee was awesome, Avatar as a whole was awesome, and CFUD's Avacast was awesome and I really, really wanted to play with them more often.
What's your apping process like? Like which parts do you try to write first/prioritize, if any, and so on?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 12:07 pm (UTC)Step 1: Decide on a character to app, write a few sentences, maybe the punchline. If I'm lucky or dedicated, I'll get the canon section here, though lately that's been the last part I've written.
Step 2: Go "okay, there's no need to write the whole thing right now, I still have [x amount of time] before apps open." and put it away before I burn out on the character.
Step 3: FIVE MONTHS LATER, pull up the gdoc a couple hours before apps open, and bug the hell out of Roxas and Sian if they're around until I have a full app that doesn't suck.
Same question!

Date: 2010-02-11 01:21 am (UTC)... okay, now I really want to know Brooke's vantage point on the Evil Breakfast Club's issues because it seems like he's gotten to see a whole lot of them by now.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-12 08:59 pm (UTC)Brook has been a casual acquaintance of the Avatar-kids for a long while now, so while he doesn't have a GREAT insight in how their dynamics work he knows that Zuko and Azula are royalty. He knows from interactions with them that they are on opposite sides, he knows that the Avatar is trying to restore balance and that Azula is opposing Zuko, which probably means that Zuko being on the side of the Avatar is on the side of the "good guys".
Now... Brook's past is at the moment a huge mystery, but it is my headcanon that Brook is disgraced royalty who turned to piracy after a personal tragedy (they are rather frequent in One Piece-verse). So he's both grown up with the duties of royalty AND lived the freedom-seeking rogue-life. He's not automatically predisposed towards one side or the other, but simply hopes these children can be happy in whatever world awaits them after they have fought for their dreams.
In short, if Zuko and Azula fights it will be sad, but it's also pretty much inevitable in his mind. Now Masque enters the picture, and things get more muddy.
Does Brook think it was ultimately ZUKO'S fault that Azula died? No. Masque enforced a game on them both that was sadistic and cruel, and people adapted the best they could. Sera was a wolf too, and she's practically his camp!granddaughter. Brook saw how badly the game was tearing up the wolves, being told that if they didn't win Masque would kill off ALL the people... in the face of such sadism, he can't really dislike Zuko. He just tried to do the best he could in a terrible situation.
He sympathizes with both sides, but they were both being played and they all tried their best to fight Masque. The majority of the blame lies with him, which is why he feels sad over this event creating a rift between old friends/enemies. But on the other hand he doesn't feel as if he should go up and tell Ty Lee this, because he thinks Ty Lee thinks of Zuko as an enemy from siding with the "other side" in their homeworld conflict, so... there could be tons of things that he doesn't know about that contributes to her anger. He shouldn't just assume he can waltz in and tell her what to feel and what not to feel. He just hopes they will not let the hate and fear that Masque created remain, when the man himself is gone(?).
Ty's general thoughts on Brook?

Date: 2010-02-11 01:31 am (UTC)But she's also really annoyed with herself because of that, because it's not Suzaku's fault in the slightest and she took it out on him anyway. The next time she sees him odds are she's going to be a lot more civil and conciliatory and awkward, at least.
What is Lelouch's all-time least favorite camp effect?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 01:52 am (UTC)Lelouch hates anything that is truly helpless so probably the kitten because he can negotiate the genderswitch, can deal with being someone else, could fly as the raven, hardly ever remembers de-aging and could at least kick people as a pony. So yeah, definitely the kitten. Also, when Nunnally turned into a kitten. Poor blind baby. ;;
I also never got to ask whether Ty Lee knew of Lelouch's involvement in the whole kill Azula (not the giant dog part. I have... many issues with the giant dog part so let's skip that.), just the wolfing her and pretty much telling Zuko to do it. If so, how would she react around him now.

Date: 2010-02-11 06:27 am (UTC)If you were to reapp any of your dropped characters, which one would be most likely and why?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 06:33 am (UTC)Second is running is Faith because I NEVER APP GIRLS ANYMORE and that sucks. I love Faith, but when I played her I was such a back-burning player that her character never did mess with camp, aside from her epic slayer fight with Buffy. I guess Faith would still work without Buffy, but I'm worried I'd burn out on her. That and I'm not sure I can be seductive enough. If I could figure out a way to app her and have her last, I'd definitely try.
Switch your charas and their canons. What madness ensues?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 07:44 am (UTC)Stacy in... either canon would pretty much not change at all. I could see her being a minor character of the week in Avatar somewhere with some hidden ability that she can only tap into after searching her heart and finding her confidence!!1!
Ty Lee would actually be a pretty decent fit in either Ranma 1/2 or Daria. The former is an obvious fit, since Ty Lee's a quirky teenage girl who happens to be a scary good martial artist with a unique style (she actually did have a match against Ranma in like... 2008, which she won under the "Ranma usually loses the first fight" rule). And in the case of the latter her new agey qualities would probably end up being played up a million times more, and she'd probably end up in the same category as Jodie and Mack as Lawndale High characters who aren't friends of Daria and Jane, as such, but get along with them well enough.
Is there anything Code Geass/supplementary canon for Geass has failed to really explain that you'd want to know more about?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 03:15 pm (UTC)I would really really really like MISSING MONTH information. I mean, it's fun to speculate and all. But more than anything, I want to know what exactly Lelouch said to Suzaku in the World of C. I want to see that conversation. And I would like if the stuff in Mutuality had a picture drama/novel/sound drama reference since people tend to regard it as only loosely canon and IT'S ALL I HAVE. That said, I want to know about Suzaku's mother and well, CC's name would still be nice. Talk about a cop-out.
