CRAP GOES HERE: Shit, I type in a lot of caps lock. Anyway! Ikkaku is my heaviest hitter, this being because I spammed a lot with him when I first got him because I was slightly dumber than I am now. But it turned out good! Really! He's got solid relationships and everything. Uh. I have no idea how I've been able to keep up with his voice for so long. It's not...really even a good voice, and as a matter of fact I've always had problems with what I do with him, which is. Basically everything, yeah. But maybe as a result of that horrendous character mutilation he's become really sort of versatile. I applied for him because I stalked CFUD quite a lot and I was into Yumichika/Ikkaku at the time and
mackzazzle was Yumichika and then there was Yachiru and I was like, WHERE ARE THE GAY UNCLES. So I scrawled down Ikkaku's application about a week or two before the round opened, looked over it myself, sent it in, made it in at about eighty percent.
I wasn't very active in the Bleach fandom when I thought of applying for him? But it was after I got in that my appreciation for Bleach sort of exploded. Now I'm a little burnt out because KT's a whore and it's starting to drag out and on. But I love the Eleventh Division still, so...s'cool. I probably won't drop him for some time 'cause he's built way too many connections such that a handful of people would have to drop first before I'd so much as consider it.
As a sidenote, I do extrapolate a lot of his little voice quirks from
moonsheen's work--fan fiction and the like, also another RP.

CRAP GOES HERE: ...right. Lacus. Oh, Lacus.
I watched SEED because, yes, I love our SEED cast and Lacus really struck a strong chord with me as a character. I love her! I still love her. I have like eighty billion character essays I never posted on her journal. I had a pretty good comprehension of her and what made her tick and she was glorious and she topped really well in direct contrast to Ikkaku's, ah, record.
...she was my second character and she stressed me out a lot, heh. Over getting across all the little quirks and depths that I wanted to portray in her--that she wasn't just WIFE OF JESUS. She wasn't having the kind of impact she ought to have, she wasn't doing the things she should have done--I was just doing a really crappy job of getting across what makes Lacus Lacus, and it bummed me out a lot and I felt like I was letting the SEED cast down. I dropped her with the hopes that someone else could pick her up and do all the things I just. Couldn't. ♥ Lacus.

CRAP GOES HERE: I spent about a month in the summer--July, I believe--in Canada spending time with my family, during which I spent two weeks completely shut off from IRC. Then I started monopolizing PC time, so that was okay. I hung around using the IRC applet and Ikkaku made his grand return two weeks into July. And towards the end of the month, there was going to be a voting round.
...I wrote Watanuki's app completely on a whim, yeah. Wrote and sent it in about...half an hour, maybe an hour and a half after apps opened? It...kind of shows. It's sloppy and unedited and just kind of hilariously bad and I didn't actually expect it to go anywhere--even less so after I checked the voting post. Bam. Quintuple app. I closed the window and went to bed and really didn't feel bad about it because I really did just pull that one out of my ass.
The next day my inbox said HEY BITCH, YOU GOT IN, so I was like. What. What is wrong with you people. ...So I didn't end up making his account till I got home, heh. His username is SO VERY CLEVER.
I love Watanuki. I was a big whore in the HOLiC fandom about a year ago and while I burned out on it early 2006, I still checked up on it from time to time, I know I completely skipped an arc or two but I'm good about checking up on his canon regularly now! I even buy the official volumes because they're GOOD. Watanuki is a relatively simple character to play, very straightforward, secret bucket o' angst but that's alright, he's CLAMP. He's...not difficult to play, but actually I didn't get too solid a handle on his voice until recently, when Doumeki and Himawari got in. Also I love them. Also there's always this PROBLEM with WHAT SIZE FONT SHOULD I USE? HOW MANY EXCLAMATION POINTS? IS IT OKAY TO BOLD AND ITALICIZE THIS? WHERE DID I PUT THAT SPARKLE CODE?
...but he's easy to play and fun and such an altruist and a big dork, and he really does fit right in with camp and camp's idiosyncracies, and I'm happy with him. Also, he's kinda gay.

CRAP GOES HERE: Oh, Rukia. Lowest percentage on an app ever, double app, scrawled down about three hours after applications opened and probably the most difficult one of the lot. SEVENTY PERCENT, BABY. Doesn't get much closer to the wire than that.
She's incredibly fun, but...she's also one of the most complex characters in the series, and actually really rather difficult to play once you get past the cracky surface of her that's really retarded and snobby and confident--she's a bundle of issues and complexities and. It's hard. I like to think I have a decent comprehension of Kuchiki Rukia in comparison to a good chunk of fandom, but it really does feel like it isn't enough a lot of the time. I'm not dropping her anytime soon, of course, but...at times I really do feel like I'm just. Not. Getting it. That I'm doing absolutely everything wrong ever. Please tell me! I feel awful sometimes especially since I have a lot of fun with her, but FUN SHOULD NOT BE OOC. I. Yes. ♥ Rukia and...yeah, okay, if someone showed me a Rukia app I think would get in, then I'd probably drop her. There are a bunch of Rukia essays that are waiting for me to write 'em but for now I'll settle for saying bad things about fandom and shooting down popular opinions. GO ME.

CRAP GOES HERE: ...well. You know, the first draft of the Kid app sounded exactly like Ikkaku. Without the exclamation points and the speech quirks, but--same caustic elements. Shit, look at Ikkaku's app and look at Kid's app and...they really do seem a lot similar. I was a little shaky on that at first, but--I actually played Kid and breathed a huge sigh of relief when it turned out that, yes, they were nothing alike. And now Kid gets out a HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN EVERYONE ELSE because he's become the character of mine that's easiest to play because YOU DON'T NEED ENERGY TO PLAY KID: fact. He's lazy and he can drop threads in favor of taking a nap and he likes a robot better than pretty much ALL OF CAMP--
hydr0phobia's got her work cut out for her!
Originally Kid didn't ping me too hard, actually. I read Eyeshield and fell in love with the manga, and then I thought. SHIT. I WANNA APP SOMEONE FROM HERE. But I couldn't decide who. Then I reread the Seibu chapters and thought, wow! There's a loser in a cowboy outfit! IT'S A GIMMICK, I CAN WORK WITH GIMMICKS. Actually I had Kid's app roughly written in, like, September but I didn't send it in until the October round after I decided I actually wanted to pick him up. It...was easy to write and the voice redeemed the actual lack of humor.
Kid is incredibly easy to play, but he also lends himself to a lot of essays and justification and things because--yes, he's really featured in two volumes and a couple chapters, but the things that happen are things from which I can extrapolate a lot as a player. He's not quite as simple as I thought he was and not quite as sane as I'd hoped, but, shit. Makes it FUN. It's why in the course of two months he's gotten more comments than anyone else who isn't Ikkaku. Combined! Apparently I like playing the ones with thinly-veiled problems, who knew. He's easy because he goes out of his way to be boring and skirts around important things and is avoidant and a total hobo, and sometimes I feel like I'm laying it on a little thick with the crazy, but that's okay since he bounces back without a hitch. EMO COWBOY, except our resident cutter is Sakuraba; Japanese fandom told me so. Sigh.
HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN PLAYING HERE?: Just under a year, yeah.

...the rest speaks for itself. Uh. I'm getting better at the balancing characters thing ♥ I'm actually comfortable with the rate at which all four get out these days (THE STATISTICS LIE). I dunno if I'd be able to handle five characters again 'cause I haven't checked out any new canons since Eyeshield anyway and also, NEEDS MORE K'S but, uh. I think I'm good! I'M SET. And will have been here for a year around this time next month. GG, internet. GG.
