There's not enough hours in the day

Well, I've been doubly-tagged for a character questionaire meme, and here it goes <3333



1.) Do you like this character?

Oh hell yeah.  Mulli is the first female character I've had in a long, long time, and I'm very satisfied with how she's turned out.  I still have to get my bearings set on her through writing stories, but if things go how they should, she should be a ruthlessly psychotic ball of awesome.

2.) What name(s) do you call this character?

Mulli is Mulli, I don't really think of her by any other name XD  If I did, it'd probably be Miss Motou, since she is shamelessly named after a favorite anime character of mine <<

3.) What image / color do you associate with character?

Tomato red, always.  There's a pair of tomato red stillettos at work I call my Mulli shoes.  Besides that, it'd have to be her secondary color, shined copper (like fresh copper piping).

4.) What would this character rescue if their house were burning down?

Provided that Lucifer and her dogs are all safe and sound (oh no, and did she accidently lock the door on Apata on her way out?  Oh Dear.) I think Mulli would pull her computer hard drive out of the wall and drag that with her.  She's sadly practical like that.  If she didn't have to worry about her data, she'd try to rescue a few of her favorite cooking gadgets (she LOVES her nuclear pulsating mixer.  I'm pretty sure she uses it even on recipes that don't need to be whipped down to their molecules.)

5.) What blood type do you think this character is?

AB, though I think she's too passionate/crazy to be considered a true AB.

6.) From all of the titles that feature this character, what other character do you think makes a good pairing with this character?

Well, Mulli was made to foil Kazuo in many ways (this is how I generally make all of my second characters, as opposites to the first one), which means that while he is destined to be with True Love forever, I had to yank away Mulli's True Love forever.  She is really meant to be with Kaolinite, the Deathbuster commander from canon to whom Mulli was an assistant.   I imaged Kaolinite to be calmer, cooler, and more emotionally in-tuned than Mulli, and over time I think that Kaolinite's influence would have made Mulli a more thoughtful, well-rounded person.  But without that emotional influence, Mulli has really become absorbed in research and in her blind vengence, and has become a much worse, colder person than she would have been.

Barring that....I have no idea who in the game Mulli would be a good match for XD  I know she'll have a total crush on Kohaku for a while (sorry Brenna), and Mulli finds Amethyst's rack to be quite...nostalgic.

7.) What would you want to say to this character?

Hm.  I can't think of anything you could really say to Mulli that would get her to turn around her life, but I think that if she understood how much she is making people suffer (particularly lovers and families), she would start to question her methods.

8.) What do you want to do with this character?

I want Mulli to be one of the most frightening, ruthless villains in the game.  That's going to be fucking tough considering the Shitennou and Lucifer, so I'd want her to at least be the most feared female villain.  In battle stories with her, I want the Senshi to leave the fight with their knees shaking and happy to still have their lives.   Mulli really doesn't care much for playing games with the Senshi - she really honestly just wants to kill them and move on to more important plans, so I think she is less likely to end up bickering and wasting time (unless they mock her intelligence, at which point she will scream at them while wildly aiming her shotgun).

In terms of Mulli's development, she is going to have a moral change-of-heart eventually, especially since she is burying a very strong impulse towards spirituality and true justice.  Also, her black-white view of justice will need to be broken eventually, and I'm rather curious to see how that happens.



1.) Do you like this character?

ASIEL IS MY BOY.  I have a trio of characters who I feel marked my evolution from "shitty RPer" to "someone who actually understands character creation and development" (Tertia from Holy Gyro and Bass from Lost Senshi being the other two), and Asiel was like the graduation course.  I've always been shocked at all of the layers I've found for him, who on the surface appears to be a total cliche of a character.  Asiel is my boo, and I want to be writing him for years to come.

2.) What name(s) do you call this character?

G-Unit.  Galen and Asiel, pretty much, leaning more towards Galen because his Modern Day life is definitely the primary one.

3.) What image / color do you associate with character?

Dark green and black are the two main colors, mostly because of his eyes and hair.  Third is, of course, tan leather.

4.) What would this character rescue if their house were burning down?

Again, provided that Devo and the kids (and hell, Jack and the cats too) are all out, he would save his favorite leather couch without even pausing to think about it.  That's an interesting visual, really.

5.) What blood type do you think this character is?

Going by Japanese personality types, he'd probably also be an AB, which sounds about right for his regular blood-type anyways (in contrast, Ona is a type O, which is convinent since he gives out his organs like candy).  I'm certain that he's also Rh negative, just to make his medical history that bit more complicated.

6.) From all of the titles that feature this character, what other character do you think makes a good pairing with this character?

DEVO DEVO DEVO.   Boy, I remember spending like six months thinking that they'd be a great match, but being too chicken to approach Angie about it XD (I didn't want to seem like a fangirl/stalker).  I'm pretty sure we were writing a Holy War story when it occurred to me.  In the Modern Day setting, they are a very natural match.  (I can't imagine them together in any other setting except for the Harry Potter and Pokeverse ones, since their histories and the resulting personalities are a big reason why they work so well.)   They work so well because they actually have very similar worldviews by then, and even if they don't react in the same ways to people/problems, I think they very easily understand where the other one is coming from.  Obviously they fight a good deal because both are stubborn, and they are definitely not romantic in the normal sense, but it still works out well.

He and Ruchiel actually work very surprisingly well, especially surprising since I remember joking with other people that any pairing with Galen and Aria would involve him stomping around and grumping while Aria hides under the couch in total fear.   Ru's Valentine story to me last year definitely changed my mind on this XD   The pairing works out really only in EHW though (similar to how MD is the only time Galen and Devo would work), but the road to actually get there is rather interesting.  It's been very interesting to see how similar Ruchiel and Asiel actually are when you strip away the strong, stable guises that they put on for the benefit of other people.  The relationship is definitely a challenge to the ultra-defensive persona Asiel has set up for himself, which is fun for me as a writer to explore.

I'm still nostalgic for his HW ill-fated crush on Haniel, and also for all of the development that Alka and I put in for his and Kamael's relationship.  It was only really a pairing for the World War I setting, and even then not really, since me and Alka could never could exactly pin down what sort of relationship they had with each other, since they seemed to fight and resent each other while still relentlessly watching each other's backs.  I can't quite explain it XD   (Also I just really miss Alka, and hope that she's doing alright.)

7.) What would you want to say to this character?

THERE IS STILL NO SHAME IN BONDAGE, ASIEL.

8.) What do you want to do with this character?

FINISH ONE OF THE THIRTY FICS I HAVE WITH HIM THAT ARE LYING AROUND.  Um.   Just let him tell me what he wants to do?  And if that involves fantasies about Greenland, then whatev.

9.)  Tag five other people! (I hope I'm not overlapping)

ambientfiligree  -  Mitsuko
lainiekins  - Mara
myalchod  - Tamaki
shortcakegreen  - Junko (and you better explain the Junko Dating Game for the pairing question)
peppermintberry  - Anika

In other news, the past week has been pretty fucking awesome.  Went to a stellar artisan fair last Sunday (the Sugarloaf Craft Fair) that made me wish I had more income to waste, and Saturday night Angie and I hit the Gomez concert at the TLA.   Gomez was absolutely brilliant.  If you listen to their music, it's definitely on the quieter, mellow side, so I was absolutely shocked when they turned the volume to 11 and really rocked their balls off.  I really can't remember the last time I was so entranced by actually watching musicians perform their craft.   It was wonderful.   Now to get myself to Dave Matthews Band, VAST, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails concerts...

Oh also, the trip to the DMV was fail XDDDDD  Sigh.  I WILL GET MY CAR EVENTUALLY, RIGHT?
