:OO I must admit I didn't see this coming. Um um um, I like Kinuka a lot. I still believe she is the most developed character so far but I'm scared that David is attempting too much too soon. I mean, these are the third and forth PC votes to go down. Out of the four PC votes so far, three of them have been instigated by Kinuka. That isn't actually a factor I'm basing my vote of on, of course but it is more of a warning for the future. I think if David continues posting at this pace, it could cause more problems later.

Kinuka's attack on Yukio~ I'm going to have to go with wound here. I really enjoy reading Yukio... I mean, really. He's so potent as a character and I'm not left in any doubt as to what he is thinking or feeling in any situation. Post quality is high and accessible, both factors I value equally. I'm really very interested to see how Yukio responds to this situation. He's a total dark horse and I look forward to seeing what Ian has planned for the future. The only reason this vote isn't a fail is because I feel that Ian ( ... )

Yukio - Wound, Kimasu - Miss. gobey15 December 30 2007, 18:41:07 UTC
Okay, after much thinking this is what i decided my vote should be. Let me explain why.

First, Yukio. He is just a normal guy who really from my point of view is believable and has me drawn in with his feelings and behaviour towards the game which I can to a certain aspect understand. I like how he thinks and overall just a great character :D The only thing I like to see more of is a bit more background just to tidy it up a bit.

Kimasu. I now changed from a wound to a miss because although of course Kinuka is fab but because I think Kimasu is just...unique. His actions and his tactics of escaping the game are realistic and I can immediately see him as a real-life person. I just enjoying reading the posts and I can't wait to see what happens next! ^^

As I said, Kinuka is just great to me and I also can't wait to read more! :D
So this is my final decision which I'm sticking with. Gd luck guys!

Wound Yukio, Wound Kimasu miyuki_ishida December 30 2007, 18:41:50 UTC
Right, this version is so fucking cool. Just had to say that. ♥

Kinuka, like I said, at first didn't really catch my eye. However. After the initial posting onslaught (which I totally wasn't expecting this version), she started to really stand out to me. I love every Kinuka post and always take the time to read and immerse myself into her world. David II does a fantastic job with her characterization-- managing to keep her a bitchy, shallow girl and yet give her the depth that is so needed in this RP-- and for that I have to give him props.

Okay, Yukio. OH, I love Yukio. Seriously. He cracks me up. Ian has got the uptight-nerd-who-even-pisses-the-teacher-off down to perfection. There hasn't been as much Yukio yet as there has been Kinuka, but what I have seen makes me want to read more. I'd also like to see some of the other aspects of Yukio's life, but it's relatively early in the game yet, and there's plenty of time for that. I'm really looking forward to what Ian does this version. WOUND.Kimasu, Kimasu, Kimasu. I enjoy him in a ( ... )

Kinuka is lovely. In a mean way. She's showing herself as being the most ruthless member of the Clique (in my view), and also one of the fullest in fleshing-out. David II's been doing a good job with this. She's bitter, but in an understated kinda way.

To Yukio. Oh, he's funny XD I love him for being a pompous git, not just because he's well-written, but he's just so damned believable. I think we can all think of the type who has intelligence and drive but never seems to earn respect. I think Ian's writing of this has been clear and dynamic.

For these two, I'm thinking WOUND. Because they're very closely matched.

Moving to Kimasu. I think in the past, I've stated some worries about how Kimasu has come across, and how the pure reason he is a sociopath makes him seem OOC at times, when in fact the simple reason he is sociopathic means this is actually correct characterisation. It's been a tricky catch-22. Since that's been flagged, though, I like how Tomar's been taking him in a different direction, without altering the trajectory ( ... )

I'm going to start this vote with a note: I am not that eloquent tonight, so uh, please bear with me. ._.

What separates Kinuka from Yukio and Kimasu is that she has established a solid foundation for herself. Now that we know her and her objectives, all we have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. Honestly it can feel a little bit overwhelming; I think she's just about hit, if not passed the record of "how many people met in Battle Royale," but David's doing a pretty good job with it. I can feel his dedication to Kinuka in the posts, and that's a good hit with me.

That isn't to say that Kimasu doesn't have a foundation as well. It just doesn't feel [as] established, especially in comparison to Kinuka's. And if it is all established, it's not totally engaging. Although, personally I love the character, himself. His dialogue and thought process are what makes him a fun character for me. Plain and simple, I like Kimasu's character enough to slide him by with a woundYukio is a tough case. While I'm not judging on frequency, I do think ( ... )
