Taken from Sammo! Because it looked lovely and fun to do and I'm bored 8|




Cordelia Chase
Journal: glowingseer
Series: Angel
Muse Strength: 4 - 5 out of 5. She's probably the only character I can write without having to dwell too much on what should come out of her mouth. She's extremely loud in my head and her voice is very clear to me, thank goodness. What's good about Cordelia is that she has a wide range of emotions and expressions - she can be funny, bitchy, sweet, or downright mean, so I'm not stuck on one character trait for far too long - which is deadly to me in the long run.
Cast strength: 5. SFHGHKJOLKLK The Buffy/Angel cast at taxonomites is amazing, plus the other casts in the game are terrific and just plain awesome. I think part of why Cordy gets most of my attention is because it's fun to use her in baiting/teasing/snarking/bitching at other characters - which is a great way to build CR.
Player preferences: 5. I love her so much.
Likelihood of application: 5 - already very active in a game.



Illyria
Journal: revivedqueen
Series: Angel
Muse Strength: 2-3 out of 5. She's just... I don't know. Sometimes she's loud and sometimes she just isn't. I think one of the reasons I'm abusing the 'voice' function of the tablets for her is that I find it easier to write her words without having to dwell on what she should be thinking/doing while saying them. Got to admit, having a character thinking I DO NOT DEEM YOU WORTHY OF MY PRESENCE/COMPANY/I WILL STEP ON YOU UNWORTHY CREATURE/I AM THE KING OF THIS UNIVERSE BOW DOWN TO MEEEE gets a bit tedious and repetitive and boring. There are days I want to drop her, but... I needed the change of pace that she brings, sometimes.
Cast strength: ...3. Illyria's part of the later arc in Season 5 and I think the only people from that time are Spike and Wesley. And I haven't been playing her much, though I'm trying to remedy that. I think I just... I'm afraid to get her in a confrontation since I suck at writing action tags, especially fighting tags 8|
Player preferences: 3. Voice function all the way for her.
Likelihood of application: 5 - already in a game.



Darla
Journal: suchprettyscars
Series: Angel
Muse Strength: 2-3 out of 5. Like Illyria, she tends to come and go and sometimes when I read logs I did as her, I go from 'oh, I think Darla will say this' to 'WTF AM I DRUNK THIS IS SO OOC 8|'. I do enjoy using her to troll Angel/BtVS everywhere, and my god I just lovelovelove thinking of insults to hurl at them anyway I can. I sometimes worry, though, when pitting her against pure Buffy people because aside from her getting staked, I know nothing on what happened to Darla in that show - so if they reference an event that happened I go o___O and... gah.
Cast strength: 3? Not her own cast per se. I do play with a lot of characters in sixwordstories, though - and so far a log with her, Drusilla, and Angelus is one of my most favorite threads ever.
Player preferences: 4 out of 5. Writing purely evil people is fun.
Likelihood of application: ...2 out of 5. I app'd her in a game but ended up dropping because I got very nervous about playing her. Plus, I don't see a long run for her - seeing as she is an evil vampire and since she has no redeemable characteristic, her death in a game will be inevitable.



Harmony Kendall
Journal: totallyharmless
Series: Angel
Muse Strength: 4 out of 5. Harmony is unexpectedly fun and easy to write for me - usually because I have tons of fun having her say the most moronic thing in the world and eliciting a WTF reaction from whoever it is I'm playing with. She's... I don't know. Harmony's evil but she has potential to be cute and friendly on her own, so maybe building CR for her won't be difficult.
Cast strength: 3 out of 5. Like Darla, she usually borrows the cast either at dear_mun or sixwordstories, so at least I have people to play with?
Player preferences: 4. If I want lulzy interaction, I usually end up using her for trolling purposes.
Likelihood of application: eh. Maybe 2 out of 5. The only canon I know of is her canon in Angel, so like Darla I'm nervous when interacting with BtVS pups.



Jii
Journal: jii_san
Series: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
Muse Strength: 2 out of 5. There was a time he was very loud in my head, though, but wisdom-y people are hard to play sometimes 8|
Cast strength: 3. I used to play him at thelastgate with a great Takeru and Chiaki and it was fantastic.
Player preferences: 1 out of 5. I don't see him as a character I'll play for a looooong time.
Likelihood of application: -1 out of 5. Just... no.



Ikenami Ryunosuke
Journal: shinkenblue
Series: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
Muse Strength: 2 out of 5. He's fun to write, especially if I focus on his tendency to exaggerate on his devotion to Takeru.
Cast strength: 1 out of 5. I only played him in sentai_gakuen and I haven't been playing him against anybody for a long time, so.
Player preferences: 2 out of 5. I'll play him willingly if I can find a Takeru/other Shinkengers, though.
Likelihood of application: 1 out of 5.



Hanaori Kotoha
Journal: shinkenyellow
Series: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
Muse Strength: 1 out of 5. I try to play her, but she's nice and submissive and sweet and I end up bored to tears after a few tags. Plus I don't think I can believably write sweet, innocent people. I WONDER WHY.
Cast strength: 1 out of 5 - although I played her once against a Genta I saw at dear_multiverse.
Player preferences: 1 out of 5. She bores me :(
Likelihood of application: 1 out of 5.

You played Jii? That's pretty damn groovy!

[zarahjoyce.livejournal.com]

Bwahahah! It was a few months ago and I was mostly there to reprimand niav's Takeru and megthelegend's Chiaki :D

[polina-slosvau.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I hear you on the action logs. >_< I love logging but action-logging just makes me so nervous. Also, Illyria is such a potential god-modding character in fights which doesn't help.

I hope you don't drop her, though. I love stalking your threads.

[zarahjoyce.livejournal.com]

Exactly. So far I only had her killing NPCs so there's no problem there but... somehow I foresee some future confrontation and I'm afraid I'll just go "oh hey if we can just handwave it so that your character lost? That will be a great idea." to the other mun :(

Eeeep! Hahah ngl, there are some days I want to turn to you and say hey, if you're even the tiniest bit interested in apping at Taxon I'll be willing to drop Illyria so you can app her. I'm serious.

[polina-slosvau.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Aren't there any characters at Taxon with close to the same amount of strength? Anything else just gets awkward unless people actually want their characters killed. XDD

......... awrlgklkejga! ♥ As long as you like playing her even a little bit, you should keep her. I'd definitely consider apping her at Taxon if you ever drop her (I've actually thought about apping some other character there when school is done killing me) but please don't do so unless you really have no use for her whatsoever. I really like the way you play her and it would be a shame not to have your version of her around.

[zarahjoyce.livejournal.com]

I think when there were lots of vamps from Tru Blood at Taxon, Sarah commented that if ever two of them tag-teamed Illyria (oh god the action log will slay me if ever this happened) - she'd lose. Probably the same if ever any of the slayers or vamps with souls teamed up to defeat her, so... yeah. Pretty much her playing field, Taxon - but for some reason I keep her holed in wherever she is instead of letting her make it into her kingdom 8|

Ohhh! I got excited there, hehehe, at the prospect of playing with you. Do you mind if I ask which character you have in mind, if ever?

[polina-slosvau.livejournal.com]

I suppose it also depends on how many of her powers you've let her keep in Taxon. At full power, I don't think even a group of slayers could do her in. >_< Ridiculously over-powered, I say.

Aw, I've thought of apping at Taxon because I know a few of you and would like to play with you. I don't have a specific character in mind, to be honest. Currently, I have no strong character voices because I'm so busy, but when Christmas is over, I might come up with something. ^^

[zarahjoyce.livejournal.com]

I took her from Wesley's death, so... not much. But logically, since she's been in Taxon for several months now some of her powers should have returned to her by now? idek.

aww yay! I can promise unlimited trolling from Cordy, if ever :P Merry Christmas! ♥
