That's right, this is not a dot hack shiny dot relationship meme! If I try to do that I'll just get depressed over how few relationships I manage to maintain. sob SO ANYWAY INSTEAD I have finally completed the stats and history meme everyone was doing last week. I've been working on this since Juri posted hers, so the stats are a week old, but I'm not redoing them, it's late and I'm tired. SO HERE WE GO.

Sohma Kyou from Fruits Basket (
_yearofthecat_)
App Percentage:
70.7%Played From: 2005-06-22 to... let's call it 2005-10-01
That's How Long? about 3 months
Total Comments: 522
Overall Percentage: 4.80%
Reason For Apping: Well, after OMG_Naruto_RP kinda withered away, I heard about a new game Biz had put together called "Camp Fuck You Die". I'd been a fan of Fruits Basket for a while, the Kyou/Tohru pairing in particular, so when I saw the game had a Furuba cast (including an adorable Tohru) but no Kyou, my duty seemed clear. My first app was horrible and was rightly voted out (I'm not linking to it, and I hope no one else will, ever). But my second barely pulled out a win in a dup battle!
Reason For Dropping: Ahaha, I didn't drop so much as idle. Real life got ahead of me, and I just didn't feel like I ever had time to catch up and get active again. When you feel like every post you make is a catch-up post, it's time to think about things.
Select Option 3? I'm kinda embarrassed about a lot of that old RP, but I remember getting Kyou caught in a crayon drawing in the Arts & Crafts Shack was pretty fun. And I fondly remember the time that Kyou got stuck in cat form as a magical-girl mascot, complete with wings and sparkly necklace, and Yuki kissed him to turn him back rather than let Tohru do it. Oh! And there was the time Yuki slapped him, which of course meant engagement by KKM! rules.
Sohma Kyou from Fruits Basket (
acatisntfinetoo)
App Percentage:
92.7%Played From: 2007-02-24 to present
That's How Long? two years, two months
Total Comments: 5,093
Overall Percentage: 46.81%
Reason For Apping: Fast forward a year and a half, after I'd gotten into the Fruits Basket manga and found it to be even greater than the anime. I can't remember why I started thinking about CFUD again, but I decided to swing by and check it out. To my great surprise, there was a whole new awesome Furuba cast (with another adorable Tohru), manga-based this time, and still no Kyou! And apps were opening in a week! It was clearly fated. Over the course of that week, I pieced together an app, made way too many icons, and grabbed two usernames.
cat_outcast I dismissed as too serious for a cracked out RP like this; I may use it if I ever app Kyou at a more serious game. And so came the voting round -- and another dup. It's funny to think about it, really. If I hadn't suddenly decided to app that week, Kyou would have gotten snapped up and I... don't know what I would have done. Cried, maybe. XD
Select Option 3?
This link right here will forever be the one I point to when asked for my favorite Kyou thread. Every thread I ever played off of Tohru was wonderful, especially the page-stretching mistletoe kiss and the resultant reimagining of canon. And oh god, the bodyswitch with Yuki was amazing in so many ways. Not to mention the genderswitch! AND BOTH CFUW GAMES. I can never ever ever drop Kyou, ever.
Jenny Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot (
normalteenrobot)
App Percentage:
70.5%Played From: 2007-03-25 to 2008-06-20
That's How Long? one year, three months
Total Comments: 700
Overall Percentage: 6.43%
Reason For Apping: While I was visiting my girlfriend, we happened to watch a few episodes of MLaaTR, and it clicked with me! Upon arriving home, I tracked down a site with all the episodes available for download, promptly mainlining most of the series and completely falling for Jenny. At the time, Kyou was my only character, and I wanted my next one to have a unique and different voice. Jenny's a super-powerful robot who can handle enemies much more badass than Kyou can, so I could throw her into the really epic boss fights. But at the same time she's very feminine and girlish in personality, quite the opposite of the redhead.
Reason For Dropping: Unfortunately, I got to the point where I didn't feel like I was managing to get her voice right. Her icon set wasn't that great, either -- I found myself using some icons way too much and others not at all. And the longer I went without playing her, the less able I was to pick her up again. So I let her go back home to Tremorton. Every so often I consider trying to pick her up again, but there are other characters on my plate I want more.
Select Option 3? I loved her friendship with Kon and Buffy. And fighting the oozaru was epic and wonderful. Oh, plus her friendship with/crush on robo-Jeff was great.
Sasahara Kanji from Genshiken (
usin_ur_images)
App Percentage:
89.4%Played From: 2007-04-23 to present
That's How Long? almost two years
Total Comments: 1,364
Overall Percentage: 12.54%
Reason For Apping: Camp (specifically, Ogiue) introduced me to Genshiken, and I... plowed through it in a night or two, as I tend to do when I really enjoy a canon. And somewhere along the way I found myself... really being pinged by Sasahara! He's very similar to me, I think, in his confidence issues and his kind personality. And he's just a nice guy, and I liked him. And wanted to play him off of Ogiue. |D
Select Option 3? Finding The Doujinshi. The anon thread about it. Basically anything with fellow Genshiken members. I love how he ended up sharing a cabin with a lot of our Code Geass cast. Oh man, speaking of, the thread on Madarame's intro post was just epic, what with him trying to cover for Madarame and trying to find an innocuous book to read to Nunnally...
Sakurazaki Setsuna from Mahou Sensei Negima! (
7_of_swords)
App Percentage:
81.8%Played From: 2007-05-20 to present
That's How Long? one year, 11 months
Total Comments: 1,476
Overall Percentage: 13.56%
Reason For Apping: At the same time camp was getting me into Genshiken, it was also getting me into Negima. I'm a sucker for people who crush hopelessly from afar, so once Setsuna was introduced, I just fell for her hard. I briefly considered Negi, but Setsuna pinged me so much harder. So I keyboard-mashed at Kotarou, then went on to the latest beta post and commented seeking a Konoka. And lo and behold, I got a bite in just a few minutes!
Select Option 3? Konokaaaa was the best Konoka ever, even if our time zones led to death and destruction. And Negi is just wonderful, and I enjoy every thread I have with him. Oh, let's see... Bleach!Chizuru deciding to give Setsuna advice always cracked me up. (They haven't threaded in ages, they really need to again.) I also love her friendships with Becky and with Thor. (Only in camp...)
Death from Discworld (
takes_a_holiday)
App Percentage:
94.2%Played From: 2007-07-02 to present
That's How Long? one year, nine months
Total Comments: 328
Overall Percentage: 3.01%
Reason For Apping: Death is one of my absolute favorite characters in the Discworld series. He tries so hard to understand humans, and he has some really badass moments. I'd always thought camp needed him, and one day I guess I just decided, "Hey, I should give it a shot!" So... I did! Yeah, some of these apping stories aren't all that interesting.
Select Option 3? Jack Skellington. ♥ Brook. ♥ Everybody in the Crypt. The post where he asked people what they live for was very interesting; I plan to do more philosophical-type posts with him later. Threading with Chuck was lots of fun; I need to thread more with her -- and meet Ned and Emerson too. |D And the Death of Bees was entirely too much fun to be legal.
Scrooge McDuck from DuckTales (
blessmebagpipes)
App Percentage:
89.5%Played From: 2007-12-16 to 2008-06-20
That's How Long? half a year
Total Comments: 80
Overall Percentage: 0.74%
Reason For Apping: Come on! He's Scrooge Mc-freaking-Duck! I had the idea to app him... a couple weeks after I got Kyou. But it wasn't until the December counselor round that I finally... did it.
Reason For Dropping: Sob, his voice just never clicked with me. I always felt like I needed to be smarter about economics etc than I was. Plus I hiatused a lot after getting him in, and I couldn't reconcile his staying calm with his being gone so long. So I let him go at the same time I released Jenny.
Select Option 3? LOOK JURI LOOK I HAVE AN 80-COMMENT WONDER. sob this is not success.
Hinata Fuyuki from Keroro Gunsou/Sgt. Frog (
occultisfinetoo)
App Percentage:
92.3%Played From: 2008-03-29 to present
That's How Long? a little over one year
Total Comments: 527
Overall Percentage: 4.84%
Reason For Apping: I'd read some of Keroro Gunsou before camp, but it got me back into it, and while I was helping beta Gwen's Giroro app, I commented that I might be interested in apping Fuyuki. He's adorable, enthusiastic, and I knew he would love camp like burning. It took several more months before I was able to, but I did! Again, kinda running out of interesting apping stories.
Select Option 3? I have the best Alisa-chan ever, trufax. Also, his friendship with Joshua is wonderful, Alice tops him hilariously, and he's just become instant BFFs with Raine...
Zelgadis Greywords from Slayers (
epic_shale)
App Percentage:
82.3%Played From: 2008-08-23 to present
That's How Long? eight months
Total Comments: 457
Overall Percentage: 4.20%
Reason For Apping: Well, we had a Lina and a Gourry and an Amelia, and there was just one person missing to fill out the main cast. I toyed with the idea on and off for a bit, but when I came up with the username, that was it for me. I knew I had to do it. I originally planned to ninja everybody, but my activity wasn't good enough for the round I planned to, and I couldn't go another month without joining the cast channel and squeeing. (I will ninja a cast, though, some day.)
Select Option 3? CFUW. Just. CFUW. So beautiful, even if I fail at the actual game. I also like how well he and Remy hit it off.
Miyako from Hidamari Sketch/Sunshine Sketch (
starving_artist)
App Percentage:
90.4%Played From: 2008-10-11 to present
That's How Long? half a year
Total Comments: 334
Overall Percentage: 3.07%
Reason For Apping: Oh my god. I ran across Hidamari Sketch thanks to TV Tropes, and I couldn't. Stop. Watching. Until I'd reached the end of what had been subbed at the time. And while I was briefly tempted to go for Sae (she's too much like Setsuna, is the problem), eventually I just knew that I had to have Miyako. She's just... she says exactly what she's thinking at all times. I've never had another character quite like that -- even Fuyuki shuts his mouth on occasion. She seemed like she'd be so much fun to play. SPOILER ALERT: SHE IS. As a note, I was planning on apping another character in the October-'08 round, but I just couldn't get that app to work. So instead I sent in Miyako's app, which I wrote, start to finish, in a single day. Seriously, her voice came that easily to me.
Select Option 3? I haven't done all that much with her yet. But her two posts so far have been beautiful and joyous. Eating contest with Nakatsu, trying to get Rei to show emotion, nicknaming Nana; and then CAPS LOCK DAY oh man. Miyako is the other character that I can never ever drop. She and Kyou will stick with me until the end of days.
