One more time, with feeling!

IN:
--Mikage. This is the Mikage I remember, and his incredible capacity to deny the obvious should be (and was in this app) funny.
--Starfire. YES. I love your Starfire voice. And I would love to see you and Lu Xun bonding over the Urban Dictionary.
--Amelia. Beautiful, beautiful Amelia. <3. Can't wait till she finds out who her "old friend" is. Regarding the -san, I'm just having Tohru call everyone -san too, for now, because it doesn't feel right to play her without it (also, she's stressed, and as far as I can tell she gets a little more formal when stressed). Since Amelia's a more westernized character, though, if you don't wanna use -san you could always use "Mr." or "Ms."
--Hana-chan. I liked it before, I like it better now. The addition of the psychic fruit was great.

OUT:
--Wolfram. I was wavering on this one, and if specific lines in the app (rather than the tone) had made me smile, it would've been an IN. I like the voice, though--though I am not familiar with the series, I feel like I would recognize the character in a fandom setting.
--Shounen Bat. Just didn't like it.
--Allen. Felt bland, I didn't laugh, yadda yadda. Also, the overuse of ellipses made him sound like a stoner, and I didn't get that sense from the description.
--Kyou. As much as I want a Kyou and god do I want a Kyou, I couldn't in good conscience vote IN. The app got the surface of Kyou down all right, but I didn't sense anything beyond that, you know? I think that for characters who hold back a lot of what they want to say like Kyou (and Tohru and Yuki, for that matter), the [del] tag is a great tool. Also, commas are your friends. I've never been able to figure out what the authoritative method of comma usage is, but I've always put them in when I would take a pause, for breath or momentary thought. Punctuation can add a lot to characterization. I'll cut myself off there, though, lest I revert to my former identity as the Punctuation Avenger.
--Momoko. I just... wasn't amused. It could be different brands of humor, though.
--Serra. See above. Whether or not I vote for certain apps seems to depend on my mood at the time.

I'd totally app for Kyo Sohma, if I thought I could play him well. I can't for a Kyo to be accepted, since not only is he a cool character, but sooner or later his curse will be discovered, and then Utena can render him harmless by hugging an icky boy him, and eventually a cuteness addicted girl character will arrive who'll hug him and carry around his hissing, spitting, struggling cat-form around with her whenever she gets the chance.

It's too bad that Ayame can't be apped; he'd drive everyone crazyer. :-)

I would also love a Kyou (not that I haven't made that abundantly clear already). Yuki would be good too. Or heck, any of the Zodiac. Furuba fans of the world, hear my plea! Grant me... Momiji!

It's too bad that Ayame can't be apped; he'd drive everyone crazyer.

YES. Not just Ayame, either; I can think of so many characters who would be hilarious in this setting, and they're all adult. But if the RP accepted adults, it would be completely unmanageable, I think.

Though jeez I want an Ayame RIGHT NOW.

Just so you know, I sent in an app for Kyou tonight (five minutes before the midnight deadline). So, um, wish me luck? ^_^()

Hmmm. I dunno, just my personal opinion, but Yuki seems too... non-reactive to me, and without character-quirks which can be exagerated with amusing results. Kyo, on the other hand, is a hot-head, and I have a weak spot for hot heads.

Momiji would be quite fun at CFUD, and would drive many of the campers insane, though not to the exent that Ayame would. Also, I think that he'd just love the shotguns, and turn into a cheerful, bubbly little gun-freak very quickly.

True, though I think a good Yuki/Kyou pair would be a great addition. Plus, Yuki would be like a Chicken McNugget to the zombies, poor guy.

Oh, yes! And Momiji's habit of leaping into Tohru's arms and taking advantage of his young looks to be a pervert would be very special indeed.
