baaaaa.
Zen meme. I am not a self-confident person at all so this will be more about how much I love my characters than how satisfied I am with my playing.
Also I am bad at rambling so it probably won't be as long as most. :S
C.C.
... lol. Uh. I started writing C.C.'s app (which was not very good) after like seven episodes. It does occur to me that that was a completely retarded idea considering even ten episodes into season two we STILL don't know shit about this character, but. XD For some reason she intrigued me right off the bat, and she still does! The biggest thing I am anticipating in Geass is finding out who the hell she is, what the deal is with her past, why she's naked bleeding in a church in the first ED, etc. Her real name. I WANT TO KNOW THESE THINGS.
So anyway, it took awhile before I sent the app in, obviously. I think it was sometime in the teens (in terms of R1 episodes). I was the first Geass cast member, but was graced with a whole bunch of castmates the very next round, which was awesome. ♥
I love her screwed-up relationship with Lelouch, and I am lucky to have an awesome girlfriend Lulu here to play that out with. I love how attached she is to a stuffed goddamn Cheese man because I can relate to that, having way too many stuffed creatures myself. And I love how she's getting easier and easier to play. I always thought she'd be a bitch to play forever, but I've had her about a year and a half now and playing her has become a breeze. \o/ Which... probably means I'm doing it wrong, but, Uh. 8D?
What can I say? She's my main and will probably stay that way for awhile now. ♥
Auel
Oh dear God, Auel. I originally apped this kid in the summer of '06. It was my first app. I was going to app Lacus (and THANK GOD I DIDN'T because that was the same round Abel apped Lacus with a MUCH better app than I had, rofl) but like, two days before apps I went "lol, I should app Auel instead."
So I did, and somehow my first app ever managed to get in. I was so stoked. \o/
... Then I idled out and re-apped the round after C.C. got in, but we won't talk about that. :P
In any case, Auel is not a major character, and he only... uh, "appears" in half of GSD. Most of his screentime involves him being a cocky, psycho Gundam pilot. I sometimes think I don't play him mean enough, but I honestly don't think he would have been a COMPLETE asshole if he'd had a more normal life (and sadly camp is a more normal life than he had in canon). So yeah, I still do play him with an ego and a dirty mouth, but I don't consider him completely heartless and I don't play him as such. \o/
Auel is the easiest to play for me because he talks exactly how I do when I'm completely comfortable (s-sob). Obviously we don't have the same ATTITUDE, but you know what I mean. ... >_> He's also by far the most fun to play, because I do enjoy being a jackass. :')
... so those things sort of offset the fact that he doesn't have any castmates that he actually knew in canon. (STING. STELLAR. APP THEM NOW.)
But yes. I love Auel. ♥
Lacus
Okay, I must preface this with the following: I love Lacus. I honestly LOVE her as a character. My OOC journal is lacus. I LOVE LACUS.
I wanted to play Lacus here since I first heard Yzak rambling about it when it was new. I apped her once somewhere in the C.C.-Auel range and didn't get in. And I was so sad. Then I re-apped her in October (? -ish) and had 100% in before the app was pulled for a dup at the last minute (even then it was one out IIRC). And I was ELATED. When I woke up and saw I had 100% on the character on the top of my wishlist I just. SQUEALED WITH GLEE. ♥
... okay, fangirling aside, though. Lacus is hard. ;\
I honestly didn't think she would be, but she is the hardest for me to play. She is the only character I've ever received crit on, and I've tried extra hard since then. That was back when I first got her and I haven't heard anything since, so I'm hoping I'm doing better now, but I dunno. In any case, I love love LOVE her and will probably never drop her. Even though it takes me like three times as long on her threads since she's a Jesus, I can never drop her. Seriously.
That and I have the greatest Kira EVER. XD ♥
tl;dr I love Lacus, she is hard to play but I love her enough that I press on anyway. APP MOAR SEED.
MOMO
Yzak topped me into... no wait, hold on, I just can't phrase it that way since Yzak couldn't top the carpet. RUBEDO topped me into playing all three Xenosaga games. I struggled through them but I eventually regained my love for RPGs and got my shit together. And aside from some choice irritating things in Episode II, I loved them. Oh sweet, sweet mindfuckery in space. How could I say no to that?
I knew before I even played that I wanted to app, because we have an awesome cast! And I wanted to possibly be awesome as well. I didn't really know who I wanted to app. Originally I thought about Shion, but for some reason the mere notion of apping a counselor scares me a lot, and I knew she'd be very difficult to play because I am not smart like she is at all. D: At that point we had a potential MOMO apper for several rounds, and I knew one of my only reasonable choices was MOMO so I waited awhile. When it became clear she wasn't going to be apped afterall, I slaved away at the app and made it in!
My favorite character in Xenosaga is actually Ziggy. But one of the things I love the most iin Xenosaga is Ziggy and MOMO's relationship because it's just so adorable. And I had absolutely zero confidence in being able to pull off playing Ziggy himself, so I figured why not MOMO? She's a very sweet character and I love her. ♥
Playing her is... getting easier, I guess? THE BIGGEST THING with her is that Xenosaga is one big giant mindfuck of a series, and frankly there's still a lot of it that I don't even understand. It's extremely complex. So, the biggest issue I have with her is threading about the canon. I mean, obviously I get it enough to play her, but let's just say I still have a lot of the official books to read. XD Because I still have a very severe case of the dumb.
But MOMO is socute and I want her to make more friends AND FOR SOMEONE TO APP ZIGGY. And I'm thoroughly looking forward to stalking whoever gets in as Jack Harkness. 8)
