Friends
Man, I sure love memes.

PICK ONE OF MY CHARACTERS AND I WILL TELL YOU:
❛ why I decided to play this character
❛ my favorite scene or bit of interaction concerning this character to date
❛ my favorite original aspect about this character (world-building for OCs or head-canon for FCs)
❛ the last thing they did "off screen"
❛ what their last words would be if they died tomorrow
❛ what the next thing I'm doing for them is (narrative, post, shelving, whatever)

BONUS ROUND:
» I will tell you what character of yours I'd like to play mine against
» you may ask me a free question if you so desire


Answering for:
Zelda (SBG)
Goombario (SBG or DCS)
Dedede (DCS)
Irene (DCS)
Nana (homeless)

It's a short list because the only other characters I'd care to answer for are OCs that no one on my flist knows. And because I'm not quite sure how some of them would be doing at this point in their lives.

Been going on archive binges on webcomics lately. I think it's actually helping me develop a unique voice for certain characters. Too bad it's characters I don't plan to play much anymore, like said OCs.

- In writing fic about Dedede, I realized just how fun it was to have him run around and harass everyone else. I messed around in Capslock Dressing Room for a short time and became convinced I had to app him somewhere someday. When DCS came into existence, my choice for my second character was a close tie between him and Nana (who acts very similar). He won out in the end because it seemed more natural writing his backstory than it was with Nana.

- His drunken argument with Meryl in DCS was pretty hilarious, because two angry drunks getting in a fight is always funny. He hasn't had very long to develop anything amazingly good yet, though, so I look forward to that.

- I like the party animal aspect. I think it's kind of fanon in some circles (I know several SSBB boards seem to agree that he'd hold awesome keggers), but it just seems so perfect for Dedede anyway that I couldn't pass it up. It also ties in with another bit of headcanon involving him not acting his age. I might be playing it up a bit too much, but it definitely keeps things interesting.

- The last off-screen action he did was lounge in a chair in the pool while complaining to some Waddle Dees about the chlorine content.

- "...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU--" But seriously, it probably would be something along the lines of "Oh, crap.".

Bonus round: If you do end up apping at DCS as Drawcia, I'd like to play with her! I've been hoping for canonmates for a while now. Cross-game (shh, I'm allowed to make cross-game references), I think SBG Daroach would also be fun, mainly because I imagine the results to involve someone being punched.

oh hey did I forget a question. I sure did.

In response to what I'll do next, I'll have him watch the heist log unfold. I'm not sure exactly how involved he'll get.

How about Zelda? *3*

-I had wanted to app an in-character Zelda somewhere, since she was stunningly OOC in the other place I played her. I didn't think I could pull off a strict-canon Zelda, and plus I felt uneasy using her in Smash Dressing (there were already a couple Zeldas running around, including one that was heavily involved in a big plot). SBG looked like a good place to try, so I did and somehow timed myself to post my app almost the same time as another prospective Zelda. loloops.

-Cute funtimes with Link before the final battle in the Aparoid War. I still get cavities just remembering it.

-I really liked how I played out her interest in psychology-related things. In all versions of her I've had (except the OOC one), I have a bit of headcanon that she's slightly empathic, and it translated well in a school setting as a choice of career path.

-She gave Fleta away. =(

-"You won't hold this against me, right? I hope you won't be too upset at me for this."

-Waiting for the shotaloli event in SBG to roll around so I can DR her.

Bonus round: louiiiiieee ;A;

Mutated Shroomish, I mean Goombario.

sh-shut up, you flying turtwig player. I'm gonna do both versions just because.

- In SBG: It was a rushed decision, actually. I woke up one morning and wondered "Hey, would Goombario be an awesome character for SBG?". Two hours later, on the bus to school, I made my decision and worked on his backstory and design in a notebook. By then I was a lot more focused on not making him full of angst and stupid like he was in the last two RPs I played him in (he was played then because he was my favorite PM partner), so I wanted to give him another go.
In DCS: Looking at who was initially joining DCS, I knew there was no way I could get around apping Goombario there as well. Besides, it had connections to the old Starbeans, where I first played him in any RP ever. If I didn't pick him up again, I'd be a terrible individual.

-In SBG: Parakarry and Goombario vs. Vivian and Doopliss. Something about the whole thing was very awesome. I like to think that the vending machine is still used today, despite the damage.
In DCS: Him and Kumatora being hyped up on caffeine and holding a conversation in that state.

- I like the "easily bruised" and "rather clumsy" combination I have going on for him. I-I guess I've never quite gotten over my habit of making him the Butt Monkey of the group.

- In SBG: Menial labor chores for the Master, as part of his training. Goombario's not very happy with this.
In DCS: He may or may not have almost tripped down some stairs somewhere.

- "I had a good run, at least. How many others can boast they've done what I've done?"

- Waiting for SBG's shotaloli event so I can DR him, and trying to be a hero in the heist log in DCS.

Bonus round: You mean, besides being gay with Para (because I'm always up for not-brother hijinks)? I think he and Slippy could also get along pretty well.

Who is Irene? Fans are DYING to know.

- I picked her up because I wanted an Animal Crossing character, but had learned that I couldn't play Boris very well. I already had much of the jock-type personalities in my other characters, so I cautiously poked around with Irene. She took to the Cloudcuckoolander personality I wanted much better than SBG Zelda, so I decided to keep her.

- "venn hey venn how many bells are you worth"

- I like playing with her tendency to have "redesigns" frequently. I don't think there's an official design for the female, especially after hair became customizable, so while I chose a generic style from ACGCN, I like messing around with all kinds of colors and sometimes styles. Plus, it means I have an excuse to not stick with one shirt/dress.

- making Zap Ranger paddles Shopping for some different hair dye. She's already bored of eye-frying highlights.

- "...Can I reset this?"

- Groudon-hunting log, and possibly the heist log if there's a good reason for her to be there (read: if it'd be funny for her to show up).

Bonus round: Irene Crosseu is just an OC based off the Animal Crossing female. She shares a similar design with an old Mary Sue OC that I barely remember, but has a totally retooled personality because no one likes perfect characters. I've written a tiny bit of fic about her, but one wasn't very good, and the other two were scrapped early on.

I'd like to play her off either Shadow or Sam one of these days.

Talk about your inspirations for Nana and what kind of setting do you want to put her in if she's not coming to Diamond City?

- With the other three main characters of my fics running around (although R.O.B. hasn't been used in forever), it seemed natural to go and play Nana to complete the group. She's pretty fun to mess with, since I have so much freedom with her.

- Trolling Master Hand in Smash Dressing. She was almost shot by lasers several times in the aftermath.

- Her love of nature. Almost everything I have for her and Popo is headcanon, including them being raised in a relatively remote area. Because of the way they live, they've learned to appreciate nature. Nana mostly likes plants, and I think it's a cute little quirk.

- I'll pass on this one since I don't have a setting to work with. I'd wager a guess on "climbed some ice", though.

- "Well, I guess my family's ladies just aren't meant to exist."

- Sooner or later, I'll look at her backstory again, and I'm considering putting her in Subspace Station once the RP's developed more.

Bonus round: Nana really wasn't a character I expected to like and develop so much, Like most things I do, it started with fanfic. There was an off-hand remark about her in a scrapped story I did, which grew exponentially into her making her way into the main cast, mixing some traits from the others and putting it in the body of someone in the middle of growing up. She did end up with a more mature personality than she's usually portrayed with (read: acts like Dedede because she thought he was cool), and it stuck with me when I brainstormed RP ideas for her.

If I do end up scrapping her in DCS, I'd like to move her to another Nintendo-based setting. Failing that, something that would involve a fair amount of running around and fighting would be ideal, because one of these days she needs to break someone's face with a hammer and climb some ice mountains.

If she does end up in DCS in the end, Naval and Kazooie seem good for interaction with her!
