Questions Meme

As first posted here by Emely!:

1. Make a thread for yourself in this post, listing the characters you play and your own name.
2. Go find someone's thread to jump and ask them A QUESTION. The question can be anything, RP related is common, of course, but not necessary. Who do you want to app most? What does Character A think about Character B? What's your favorite flavor of icecream?
3. Answer all questions asked of you! Once you have answered, end your response with a question for the person who first questioned you. This is important to keep the discussion going and going.
4. This goes back and forth indefinitely until someone gets tired and can't reply anymore.
5. Have a lot of fun! ♥

Season 2 begins tomorrow, all, and there've been plenty of developments and new blood since the first round - get the words flowin', get to know/re-know some of your gamemates, and/or simply shoot the breeze~

WHOA INCOMING TL;DR (or not now that i actually post this and look at it)

Well, first off, existing castmate was reincarnated as a twenty-something! So I wanted to work off of that. But also I felt like it would give me some more flexibility.

Apping Raven as a teenager would have been fun in its own way - and I really enjoyed working out that part of her AU backstory - but I feel like it would have been limiting in what I could actually do with her. I wanted to keep a strained and very distant relationship with her father, for instance (even if it's a very different relationship from the one Raven has with Trigon!), but I felt like it'd be hard to do that believably at her canon age range without making it OTT teen angst.

There are a few factors besides that, but those are the biggest ones I can name right now.

Why Neopets?

Okay I'm pretty sure you know Lavvy right? (I assume people know each other too much though oops).

"It's Lavvy's fault" is the quickest explanation.

But ever since Facility it has been Lavvy and I's goal to have the most ridiculous CR possible in any game we may happen to be in together. And she was in STE when I apped, and actually apping another character herself. So we started talking about the kind of stupid pre-network CR we could give them. Somehow a joke about Skeith from .hack finding out about the Skeiths in Neopets(they're like, really fat dragons kinda) turned into Shinji and Haseo being Neofriends. The ridiculous things I could do with Shinji Ikari playing Neopets spiraled out of control from there.

Is Cain's development towards being more like Enter going how you expected it to?

PS DON'T BE AFRAID TO TL;DR

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE JOURNAL BEING USED

Oh. I actually knew and forgot about it, whoops.

Yes and no! Partially because I never had a strict timetable in mind, more a loose progression. Having castmates from the actual Go-Busters team has helped change the course a little. I'm still holding off on making Cain more like Enter via personality echoes, and his development thus far has gone in an entirely different direction. Cain started out fairly uninterested in all of this, but as time has gone on he's started actively trying to help the network - even if it is out of basic enlightened self-interest. He's almost a halfway heroic character right now, which I never thought would happen. Still, I always sort of planned to build him up in one direction before I started tearing it all down.

What's life like at Casa Ikari?

well hey that might make going villain even more fun to watch

A good portion of the time it's just Shinji and Rei home alone with the animals. Their parents are both married to their jobs and their dad's even currently working overseas. Shinji's a good cook and a bit of a neat freak as opposed to his twin who is a lazy slob and awful in the kitchen so. He yells at Rei to pull her own weight around the house all the time but ultimately he gets really grumpy if these things aren't done to his standards and he ends up doing a lot of it himself.

After Wise Snake, though, Shinji's mom has obviously not been working as much...Shinji and Rei stayed at a hotel for awhile at the FBI's request, but after coming home their father definitely decided to uh. Visit his family and get some things sorted out. It's pretty tense right now and Shinji's so used to being alone with his sister that having his parents around this much is making him extra anxious.

OKAY THOUGH SPEAKING OF THAT JOURNAL, what are your goals for apping Naoto?
