One thing about Nokoru's character that is simply beaten into the reader of CCD is that the thing he cares the most about is women. Despite threats to his own body, he will carry through on plans to hold a dance, for instance; he's almost a shounen retard in his drive to make women happy. Shoujo retard? Uh, he's also willing to sacrifice Suoh and Akira's physical and mental health for the happiness of women (and does so on several occassions). Basically, he is capable of inhuman feats both mental and physical if a woman is involved (mostly phsyical; he's a genius normally, but unless it's for the benefit of a woman, physical activity is actually Nokoru's weakest point). He can spot a damsel in distress from two kilometers away and ninja over to her in a matter of seconds without actually having been on the lookout for a damsel in the first place. He memorizes the handwriting and contents of every letter a woman gives him, he memorizes the features, background, and daily habits of every woman on a campus with a population of over 10,000...Suoh is certain that Nokoru can store more information on women in his brain than any supercomputer in the world.
Basically, Nokoru has Super Stalking skills; Akira can give Nokoru a basic description of the a woman's appearance in the university division of campus and Nokoru can tell him who she is and a good deal of her background. She'd never even met him.
So I figured maybe it was time I asked all of you, since compared to a campus of over 10,000, a camp of over 200--most of which are men--would be easy for Nokoru: if you have a female character, do you mind if Nokoru knows a few things about them? And, obviously, if yes, what would you like him to know? The knowledge would mostly be things he could observe in their day-to-day activities, but he does occassionally research the people he comes across via computer canonly, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for Nokoru to look things up like icons (Nokoru once noted that Kaylee likes strawberries because our old Kaylee once had an icon where she was basically having a strawberrygasm.). I doubt that this'll really come up, but it would be good to have a reference to fall back on due to my terrible memory and wibbling on just how much Nokoru should know about what character.
Basically, this is an attempt to better play Nokoru's lady-oriented intelligence without stepping on people's toes by knowing too much, etc.
