Apping meme
This is liable to go on for far longer than necessary. ALSO I am not finding my percentages as that is too much work at this tiiime.
Short story, though. I have had 9 characters in camp, and I have done seven other apps that have not gotten in. In total, I have apped like. 20 times.
Ropponmatsu II, niftybutuseless --
In all honesty, I apped Ropponmatsu II because I thought camp needed a Lesbian Catgirl android. I think I was totally ahead of my time. Anyway. Took me three tries, I believe, but I KEPT AT IT. I dropped Ropponmatsu because playing a lesbian catgirl android is not actually that fun, especially back in the day where lots of status effects were going on and I couldn't logically make them apply to her. Also, she just. Never really connected with many people.
Elgala, I_Elgala --
I apped Elgala to play with Excel. Yes. And because I didn't want to play Hyatt. Was very happy when her app got in the first try, and I loved playing her with Excel/Il Palazzo and some of the people she did get to know. However, she's another character that didn't connect with many people outside of her canon and that is an issue. It's her nature, though, at least how it was when I got her into camp. Later volumes of the Excel Saga manga totally make her friendly and stuff, but from where the manga was when I apped and played her, she is really. Obsessed and stuff.
I ended up dropping her after I dropped Haruto, because I realized that it was her inability to socialize that was making me emo and my playing suck. When I dropped her in... what. February? Early March? of 2006, I was officially out of camp.
Houjo Haruto, welcomemat_ --
I loev Haruto. His canon is crack and PERFECT FOR CAMP. Which was the main reason for apping. He took me two tries to get in and I was so happy when he did. He got out and met people, and everything was good until the stress I felt while playing Elgala at the same time and her with her issues kind of took a toll. I thought by dropping him, I could get the Elgala groove back, as if it was playing two characters that was the problem, but it was not.
Someone else should app Haruto :(

ARNIE! Okay, long story. I was out of camp, with no characters, the IRC chan made it easy for me to buy Wild ARMs 4. Juri and Ari and Ishida were playing it and as soon as I heard that you could TURN OFF RANDOM BATTLES? I think I was sold. I fell in love with Arnaud from the opening animation, and one day when I was squeeing in chan, Juri PMed me and said she was thinking of apping him, and I was SO EXCITED - And then that next app round. She apped Jay. Well. Cut to a week before apps opened again, I spent time agonizing over an app for someone else entirely, and then about an hour before apps opened, I changed my mind, decided to write Arnaud's app (which had been coming to me in drips and drabs all week) and wrote it, sent it in, and. Got in. I'm shocked, still. But to this date, it's one of my favourite apps and I love him.
He's been in camp for a year now and it's... sometimes a little difficult to play him, and I know I haven't been playing him nearly enough, but still, I'm so glad I've kept him going, and I plan to do so for as long as I can.
Iono Mito Arushurain, hornyqueen --
Iono is possibly the most awesome character from anything EVER. I fell in love with Iono when I read Iono the Fanatics one day, and I just. She's great. Her app was kind of on a whim, really. The problem was that... I suck at playing that kind of character, obviously. She's really "HANDS ON" and I have problems with maybe accidentally offending anyone, you know.
Also her canon says very little about her and all this made me drop her |D
Luc, sothewindblows --
I am a suikoden whore. Or Suikoh0, if you prefer that term. Coughcough. I have loved Suikoden deep down to the bottom of my soul for a very very long time. And in fact, I WAS THAT SHITTY VIKI APP FROM AGES AGO DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THAT anyway --
Caesar got into camp. And when Caesar let me beta her app, I FUCKING FREAKED I thought it was awesome YAY SUIKODEN etc and. I got back into the mooooood. And I was thinking about apping Hugo after that, but I couldn't write anything and didn't. Then Hugo got in as Hugo (imagine that) and... I still REALLY wanted to app someone from Suikoden. I thought... Luc would be the most interesting person to app, and I had a save from his chapter in the game AND what was out of the manga and so. I did it.
DISCLAIMER - I have said this before, but Luc had never really been my favourite character from the games. In fact, I. disliked him a fair amount in the first two, and then three came out and I was... interested. I don't want to say I LIKED him but I thought the whole concept of what he was doing was interesting and I have written essay/debate things on him for SARS before when they did that stuff oh god I am talking to much. But I apped him anyway, AND I AM SO GLAD I DID, I love playing Luc even if he is Emo McAngstypants!!!!!!! Yay. So anyway.
Anise, themostprecious --
One day, I was talking with Caesar and Hugo and they were playing Abyss as I waited jealously for my copy to get to my house, and then I finally got it and we were talking about it and blah blah blah all this lead to me considering a couple of characters and eventually... deciding on Anise. Anise is fucking awesome and badass. I don't have the real words to explain why. I think it was me not living up to her awesome that lead to me not playing her and ultimately dropping her. :/
Keele Zeibel, keeleover --
I apped Keele a year or so previous to me getting him in. When I apped him initially, I HAD HIGH HOPES and the app totally crashed. As is normal for me, I don't reapp unless I can't get the character out of my head, and Keele wasn't reapped.
Then, I was talking with Caesar one day, and I said that I really wanted to app someone, but I didn't know who. I was on a Tales kick, and I said, in a throwaway kind of way that I should just reapp Keele, because I didn't care really if I got in or not, I just wanted to send one in. And Caesar was like DO IT and I was like BUT I HAVEN'T REPLAYED THE CANON IN AN AGE but MAYBE and then. I did. It was done a few days before apps opened and. I'm still in shock he got in. but happy. I'm hoping I don't suck utterly as I still haven't finished my replay of the game and was betting everything on my quick review of the anime and the manga chapters I had at the time.
Now, I can't imagine life without Keele even if he needs to play more. Also; this username was the username I was gonna use if I had gotten him in the first time :)
