Boring question is kind of boring, BUT. I'm curious. :D

Who is your favorite character to play, and why?

Comments

[tenshibellaluna.livejournal.com]

Ooooo. Tough question!

I think I'll go with Giselle though. She's just so energetic and happy, that playing her just puts me in a good mood. Also, because she really doesn't have a sense of boundaries she's likely to talk with anyone and everyone. She's my little social butterfly, so because of her I get to interact with a lot more characters.

Suze is a close second, mainly because of the snark.

As if it wasn't completely obvious, Kaito~ I adore his character and he's the one I feel like I can get into the mind of the most, so he comes the easiest to me. Plus, he's loads of fun. He adapts easily to any crack situation, even ones that would never happen in his canon that most characters wouldn't adapt well to. On the other side of the coin, serious plots are easy to do with him because of his personality. He makes friends easily, he's always willing to talk, and (other than a few times) I don't feel like I'm playing him terribly OOC. He's flexible too, since he has two identities I can mess around with.

So definitely Kaito. Which is why I comment with him the most. :D

Why I'm not surprised ;)

Haruhi because she comes so easily to me, I rarely need to think very hard for a response for her. Plus, she's extremely dynamic, and able to do both comedy and drama well while still being quirky about it. I really love exploring her character and getting to see how she reacts to new things.

It's a toss-up between Mai and Asuka. They're vastly different personalities, but both really fun to play. In the end, I think I like Mai's snark over Asuka's sheer bloody-mindedness and yelled insults.

[eboshimustdie.livejournal.com]

Ugh. It's a toss up between Ty Lee and San.

Ty Lee's so dynamic and quirky and weird and circus freakish. She's so damn flirty and has a lot of different quirks to play, it's so much fun.

But San's fun, too, since she's so...well, savage.

Blackout, definitely, even though he's not as active as Mikaela.

I've always had a thing for xenofiction, and Cybertronians are so functionally different from humans that it's interesting for me to play him, because sometimes the way he reacts to things is radically different from the way Mikaela or my other human/near-human characters do/did. I love exploring his personal past, and coming up with things to shape the way he acts now.

Beyond that, the Transformers movie, removed from the context of the twenty years of franchise that preceded it, actually includes very little in the way of information about the Cybertronians, especially their culture before and after the start of the war or their development as a race. The supplementary canon--toys, comics, novel/izations--all add some details, but not really a lot. Before any info on the sequel started leaking and after Tanz and Brittany dropped, this meant I had basically free reign to develop my own alien society based on the clues in canon. And while I took the easy way out sometimes and took things from G1 and the other TF canons, a lot of the time I went a different way, and it's been way fun.

It's also got the potential to get me in trouble when my headcanon clashes with my new canonmates, but ssshhh, I'm adaptable. |Db

Playing off that, it's been interesting playing through him trying to acclimatize to his human body and his Shiny New Emotions, both in big ways, like learning how to do human things there's no direct Cybertronian analogue, and in little ones, like learning to use human terms for things instead robot ones. XD;

Alsoooo I like playing him interacting with Scorponok because I interpret their relationship as something that has no direct comparison in human terms--sort of coincidentally, I'd be kind of planning to essay about Scorp and Cybertronian stuff some time in the near future, haha. I just love thinking about it, and coming up with things and history bits and culture and backstory and it's all so interestinggggg.



LOL tl;dr

[dreamoflight.livejournal.com]

Proooobably Itsuki. It took me a really long time to get his character, but now that I have he comes ridiculously easily, I can play him no matter what mood I'm in. It's also nice that he can do really srsbzns plots or he can just bum around messing with people's heads for laughs. He's really layered, too, so he's one of those characters who can just completely surprise me-- I'll suddenly realize something and be like "of COURSE that's what's motivating him", even though it wasn't something I consciously planned on doing. And FFFFFFFF I just like him and want to give him a hug. xD

[samuraiprosecutor]

Bet you can't guess what my answer is! :D

[pescivore.livejournal.com]

Cheater!

[sin-nom.livejournal.com]

There's no question, and it probably comes as no surprise, my favorite to play is Lady. A lot of it is her diversity, she can do angst and badass and snark all extremely well, but also because I connect well with her so it comes more easily to me. That, and everyone she interacts with is GREAT.

[riderofpegasus.livejournal.com]

Rider, since she's such a bitch to people but is still hot and gets plenty of sex.

[originaldragoon.livejournal.com]

Crap! I can't pick between the two characters I play now. >_< I like them both equally but for different reasons.

Grimlock, because he can be a bit goofy at times, and he has an anti-hero attitude. I always find it fun to have him wound up and angry, and he makes such an easy target for the viruses. So you can say he is my favorite because he is just fun and silly.

Rose, because I like her mysterious charm and calm attitude. I also like going through her canon and having her character develop as I play her in the game. So you can say she is my favorite because I can do more stuff with her canon wise, and it forces me to think.

[seventh-gospel.livejournal.com]

Bass! He's so fun, and as mean as it sounds, I get to be absolutely cruel through him XDXD He's a good one to take for a ride when I'm in a bad mood, too, 'cause it's inevitable he'll fight with SOMEONE eventually. And he's so talkative, much more open than I'd actually be in real life. I think playing him is actually pretty good for me XD It's cathartic.

[menial-tasks.livejournal.com]

Diiificult question!

At this point for me it's between Kyon and Bourne, and I'm...actually going to have to go with Bourne. I adore Kyon's snark and my canonmates (and others he talks to) are astounding. But. There's, well, more to explore with Bourne. He's got such interesting issues, and such an interesting background to work with. He's got all these fascinating little facets. For example, while it doesn't come up much in this setting, I love that he's very comfortable and convincing, charming even, when he's pretending to be other people, but is very awkward when he's just himself, he's not used to it. And I'm not sure why, but I always have a lot of fun playing socially awkward characters, so him being himself and thus awkward all the time around here does actually suit me. And he's really just basically a good guy. Adorably sweet, even, at times. Who can also beat the crap out of you with items found in your bathroom. Have I mentioned how much I love his issues? I really love those issues.
Also, the crack relationships he's formed here amuse me to no end.

Of course, another factor is that in spite of all logic, Bourne comes more naturally. There are times when I really just can't play Kyon, I almost never have those times with Bourne. ...Which is slightly disturbing, but there you are.

[death-chopper.livejournal.com]

I can totally sympathize. I can only tag with Mikaela consistently for so long before I get, like, a mental block, but I'm up for playing Blackout all the time.

[sonicsora.livejournal.com]

Guhh...

I'm cheating an going with my first three characters >>

Meg is fun because of the snark, how she approaches things, just how she talks is a break from Leo sometimes formal and teenage voice and Mikey's excited bouncy talk. She's an adult an expresses herself like one, snarky but friendly in her own way. She's damned fun to play, I can usually post TONS of comments with her and feel proud of em.

Leo, I love how he flips from being Mr. formal to an awkward teenager trying to be the adult of the family an take over his fathers role bit by bit. But being his own person at the same time. S'why I usually always pick Leo up first, I know how to play him. He's rather picky about who he talks to.

Mikey is pretty much different as can be, he's happy, excitable, cute and I can get away with mentioning movies and books so easily with him. I can chatter with random characters like Meg can without feeling awkward about intruding. Mikey's always so easy to play, seriously I can laugh an channel a little bit of my own humor through him at times.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Uhmmm that's difficult, I love all my characters for so many different reasons. Nancy was the first one, but the lack of information about her make it hard to play her. Elphaba is fun, expecialy when she's with Jack Frost, but I can't let her to play with the others much because of her non socials skills. Aoko is just pure love and fluff, and I like when she gets angry or frustrated at someone (fear his mooopp of dooom!), usually Kaito.


Buuuuut I have to choose Hakuba. He's just so much fun to play, it's easy to think plots for him, and I love how he interacts with the others. Plus, It's my only male character and dunno why I find that funny too. And it's the character with more canon mates on DDD (More than Aoko, because she never met Conan, Ran or Heiji in canon).

And being a detective is cool >D

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

But we love her anti socialness <3

[sunao-punch.livejournal.com]

Ran. Because he's Ran.

Actually, at first I really didn't like Ran, but you just kind of grow to love him. He's fun, there's really no limit to what he'll say to people, because he doesn't care. And his obsession with Yoru is always funny.

... And I love this icon.

*should probably, y'know, answer my own question*

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Azula, hands down. DX I never really get mental block for her, and when I do, it's minimal. I DUNNO, SHOULD THIS WORRY ME? XD But I just love to explore her personality and whatnot, and her conversations with pretty much EVERYBODY are very fun. :D

[pandorabox]

We love Azula~! 8D

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Rufus. Hands down. He's an outlet for my bitchiness with minimal repercussions and he has a hot husbando.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

You just like him because you can put him on dresses >D

[dormition]

Minato.

He's so much fun to bounce off of people, and I don't have to work up a lot of emotion to play him. Also, for some reason he seems to come naturally to me. Whenever I do get genuine characterization development or a relationship connection, it's so gratifying.

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

Hands down Jack Frost. For starters, compared to all the other versions of 'Jack Frost' out their, he isn't instantly murderous and isn't a literal snowman with your dads soul or something to that affect. Not saying he doesn't snark or wouldn't freeze someone if they ticked him enough, he just doesn't go around doing it, 24/7. He'd just rather be your 'friend' or that itch you just can't quite scratch ~

SC3 wise, he's surpisely social, personally, before I saw the movie in theatres I thought he was going to be like Scar from the Lion King.
But instead he turned out to be; social, cheesey, sleazy, womanizer, liar, egotistic, suck and immature who thinks he's the best thing since swiss cheese.

He's also considerably, well rounded for a Disney Character. Which for one movie is impressive.
He's flawful, in many ways, even if he won't admit it or doesn't know it.
Acts like a seven old and likes to play and joke around, even if he's really or rather can be, a very serious.

And his obsessive to be Father Christmas is rather cute, and if you look up stuff it rather makes sense out of canon as well.

Um. He talks in my head the most? The downside he takes a lot of enegry to RP. That's the only thing.

And he's rather right, Christmas is Frostmas :/

Oh, and has a lot of little quirks. :)

He also can be good and evil.

And sorry Azula mun I babble. *steps away*

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Pffft don't apologize. BABBLING IS WHAT THIS IS FOR. ;D

[maraich]

Maraich. I like Klaus, too, but Klaus is the type that never seems to stop yelling. He's very authoritative and mission-oriented and a terrible socializer.

Maraich is more of a person who seems normal even though he's extremely messed up. I think it's fun because his personality isn't just "bitchy" or just "badass". He can be both, but generally he has to have a reason why he's being bitchy to someone (they're not always good reasons, but they're still reasons).
He can make friends, he can be good to friends, he can use friends and he can even be scared to lose friends. Maybe because his series is so long and he's had so much time to show different sides of his personality he seems very 3-dimensional. He's not just constantly stuck in one mood.

I also like some of the complex relationships he's had. He doesn't angst about having been with the Count since he was 9. He believes it was mutual love. I think that sort of confused, messed-up situation is more life-like than someone who cries every day about what happened to them as a child, and I actually find it much more disturbing.

[snackfoodsrock.livejournal.com]

I only have two, and let's be honest - both of them are pretty much, you know, similar XD I can't decide!

I love playing Bowser because he's such an ass, but it's seriously just because he's socially inept. He's just like that awkward kid in the back of the class that people could probably like but he's such a JERK that no one can stand him! Also, I've just always loved the idea of him switching back and forth between reasonable and irrational, where one minute he can discuss the reasoning against an inter-world judicial system and the next, arguing about how he totally does not have a crush on Peach shut up. Seriously, you guys, every time I post with him I facepalm.

Oh, and I absolutely adore playing with his weird sense of nobility. He knows and openly states that he's a Bad Guy, but at the same time he tries to do good things. (Super Mario RPG I'm looking at you!) Hell, I still giggle over his like second-to-first interaction with Kaito, where he was so adamant on making Kaito admit to being a good guy simply because Bowser "knows" good versus bad. Then again, he's been at this for a long time ;D


Purple, on the other hand, is just HILARIOUS to play. His icons (I NEED MORE) are so descriptive and he's just so openly rude to people without meaning to be. It's not that he's an asshole, it's just that he honestly knows he's better than everyone else XD He's just... so STUPID sometimes too.

Also, I'd be lying if I said playing with Red wasn't a blast :D

[shunraiken.livejournal.com]

Yuan, without a doubt. He was my first character and as such I've probably bonded with him more than any of my others. As much as I adore playing my others, particularly Colette and Guy and Reeve, I occasionally just get mental blocks on them in a way that I don't with Yuan. He's so multifaceted that it's fun to see how he'll react to things.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Karen, pretty transparently so. Everyone's fun, though. I still think I should drop someone else, but I can't settle on anyone.
