I love question memes, okay.
1. ASK ME SOMETHING
2. LIST YOUR CHARACTERS
3. RECEIVE AN ANSWER AND ANOTHER QUESTION!
4. We all get to have fun and procrastinate on our class reading.
I play Hyuuga Neji, Yamanaka Ino, Mad Hatter/Belial, Ion Fortuna and Okita Souji.

For Bel, it was probably the combination of crazy troll, blood fetishist, and isolated upbringing, as well as all those fun issues up in his head. I'm often drawn to characters with Issues that cause very distorted self-images that don't match up with what they're really like. I enjoy their struggle for controlling and maintaining the balance between the two. Bel always has to be "the prince." He's a genius, he's always better than everyone, he's unrepentant, and he will not accept any result otherwise, even when it's shoved in his face. A guy who'd rather cut his tongue off than admit he's fallible; a guy who stabbed his twin to death because he couldn't beat him in anything and nothing is worse in a rival than your own mirror image; a guy who refuses to give up even when he's dizzy from craziness and blood loss, suffering from a broken leg, and the entire floor is about to blow up in less than a minute... that degree of perseverance and stubbornness in order to preserve his self-image as "the amazing prince" is really what drew me to him. And okay so I have a huge ping for twisted sibling dynamics in general, especially for twins. :Da
What do each of your characters like most about Camp?
Reply
Neji has a complicated relationship with camp at this point, and it's hard to say he likes any particular aspect of it best, or that he hates any part of it exactly. There are things he likes and dislikes, but often even the things he dislikes have contributed to who he is now, and he's not unaware of that. If he were forced to admit it, he's liked the chance to define himself away from his clan.
Ino is simpler. She likes the people.
Hatter likes to troll people from so many different places. Xe also has a fair amount of curiosity in other versions of Christian cosmology--in particular other Lucifers, and other Belials. So there's a degree of intellectual self-involvement. But mostly it's the trolling such diverse people.
Ion likes that Radu is alive. :|b
Okita has been in camp for just about a month and a half, so he's still in the new place in a lot of ways. Despite the fact I've comment spammed with him like whoa. He hasn't so much settled enough to like anything that well, though he does enjoy some of the people.
Rank your characters by how healthy their social interactions in camp are. XD
Reply
Nana has the healthiest, though it's partly because she's been here a week and only met nice people so far.
Accelerator has... Last Order, two friends (Ion and Necoco), and some other neutral to positive CR (Okumura Rin, Nico Robin, Sakurakouji Sakura, etc.), along with some people he either tolerates or dislikes but who are really just harmless. Which is not as healthy as it sounds, considering he's been here for ten months now, but for someone who never trusted anyone or spoke to people without malice back home, that's to be expected. It doesn't hurt that almost no one has targeted him and that's really refreshing.
Delirium has her fair share of healthy and unhealthy social interactions, simply through self-definition. What might be healthy for her is unhealthy for others. There's really no other way to rank her.
Belphegor has mostly unhealthy interactions. He's always trying to annoy or fight Squalo, he annoys Mika as much as he gets along with him, he pesters his knight Shuri and pestered his minion Haru before she left, and in general he will always be a troll looking for entertainment. On the upside, he hasn't gotten into any seriously life-threatening scenarios for a good long time.
Tell me about a canon you read or watched because of Camp and enjoyed it?
Reply
I've also been trying to read Code: Breaker, but I haven't managed to get far enough into it yet to really say if I enjoy it beyond a character or two.
So how much would Accelerator laugh if Ion genderswitched? (Hint: the icons, they stay exactly the same.)
Reply
Accelerator would piss Ion off SO MUCH from all the laughing... until he got genderswitched too. Then they would tsun together.
So how are Ion and Radu doing these days?
Reply
Ion is sort of dumb and still has some guilt issues when they talk, and it's keeping him from being more assertive about being closer as friends again. I should bug Radu to play more, and see how if I can't get him to face that. He would, I think, except he doesn't think of it as being wrong per se.
Is there anything in particular that stands out as something your characters are interested in, but never would have been exposed to if not for camp?
Reply
Bel is interested in chakra due to his interactions with the Uchiha brothers. Primarily Sasuke, whom he's fought a couple times. Unfortunately he's lazy and there's no one who would willingly teach him how to use it.
Whose icons were the easiest to keyword and how do you decide what to use for keywords?
Reply
I don't normally have a super hard time keywording things. For most of my characters, I just kind of slap them with the first thing that comes to mind--often song lyrics, but somehow Ion got stuck with a bunch of recipes/Top Chef/Project Runway references--BUT~! Pretty much as soon as I thought about the Okita icons at all, even for my personal journal, or if someone else were to app him, or whatever, I wanted him to have Doc Holliday quotes from Tombstone.
Because somehow, the snarky fictionalized historical tuberculosis patient crossover aspect was too hilarious for me to pass up. That meant all I had to do to keyword for him was look up quotes.
Do you think you'll be apping more in the future?

Name a canon you wish to see in Camp that currently isn't.
Reply
That is primarily just so I have more youkai to stalk, and while it's not a perfect canon by any means, I do like how NnM handles youkai mafia type things in the modern work. That, and Night Rikuo is hot.
Reverse!

I want to see Salute Your Shorts. It's a TV show from my childhood that takes place at a summer camp and used to air on Nickelodeon all the time. Preferably Bobby Budnik or Donkeylips, or maybe Kevin "Ug" Lee or the prissy girl whose name I don't remember, but anyone would do.
Your characters' worst mistletoe nightmares, if applicable.
Reply
Well, Hatter has no mistletoe nightmares. Hatter is other people's mistletoe fear. Soooo.
Neji would really rather not see Shika again under the mistletoe after last time, but not really nightmare...
Okita...
You know, I think Ion is the only one who would have mistletoe nightmares. But meeting any number of people would be traumatic for him. If he'd met Dietrich there, it would have been. Like. End of the world nightmare-like.
Do you actively try to balance your lineup in anyway? I.e, you always like having at least one girl, or one character who can be social, or (at least) one troll, or something like that?

Which character do you have to make up the most headcanon for?
Reply
I'd say Hatter generally needs the MOST headcanon. For me. Despite the fact that Hatter is less likely than the others to actually share the details of hir past and motivations, AS only gives a fairly limited snapshot of hir, so to have an idea what's going on in hir head at any given time, I end up doing a lot of speculating. It's fairly varied stuff, too. In the end, most of it doesn't even affect how I play hir. It's just for my own exploration into the character.
Which of your characters do you have to do the most research to play?
Reply
Accelerator requires mostly just research on vectors and other scientific stuff, though the light novels provided a lot of that knowledge for me. I had already researched albinos from when I apped Dancy, so one of the only other things I had to worry about were little things - like the skin hormones that you get from UV rays, etc.
Bel required some research on metals used for knives and wires, knife throwing styles, the mafia in Italy, European culture and food in general, etc.
Delirium requires very little research aside from abnormal psychology. Most of the research I do for it is actually on characters from other canons so I know what she might or might not know...?
Nana requires almost no research. I had already researched prosthetic limbs a while back for another character, and the canon provides almost everything else.
......I think Accelerator wins here simply because of how hard it is to find out some of these things. In fact, I think I listed them in order of amount of research. XD
SAME QUESTION.

And I've actually read a sort of silly amount about TB considering how much I actually plan on doing with it.
If camp were to relocate again, where would your characters want it to move?
