1. Well, technically I apped Chisame because I knew I could get her in. XD; There were other reasons, but she beat out a lot of other potential First Characters just because the cosplay thing was gimmicky enough to write a funny app about.
I apped Mutsumi partially because I wanted someone who could and would boobsquish people.
2. Uh, it varies! Like, I wasn't committed to apping Miyako until like 4 hours before they opened. XD; . . . However I had made an LJ and some icons for her two weeks before, so I guess at that point I kinda knew.
Usually something just kinda snaps and I can tell. This happens anywhere from a month to like, a few hours before apps open. I had actually decided to reapp Asuna BEFORE the character limit was removed; I was going to drop someone to do so if I had to. I'll just be thinking one day and suddenly KNOW that I must have that character no matter what and I'd better get started on the app.
I should mention that I decided to reapp Asuna on the DAY it was removed, actually; I had already written the app but hadn't decided to send it in, went to work that day, decided "Fuck, I have to reapp her, who am I gonna drop?" and made the decision (I won't say who was going to go >D), and then got home and logged on and the post went up saying the limit had been lifted.
Also I apped her for a lot of reasons, including having spent 11 months having regretted dropping her, but one of them was also so that I could use this icon.
. . . Huh, shallowest reason? Um. I guess Al? I mostly just wanted to be in camp then, but I dunno how shallow that is . . . It could be Havoc just for wanting a counselor though. And Aviy told me too. I love Havoc though. |Db
And 2? Once I have the canon section written. I would say it's when I have the icons made, but I've done that for one or two characters I'll never app. The canon section is pretty much it for me. Even if I wait a while, I'll go back to the character eventually to get an app done. With the last three I've apped (Kaoru, Tohru, Gokudera) there's some THING they do. Some panel or scene that just grabs me and makes me go "I'm gonna app them." But with everyone else it was a gradual thing (Al, Misa) or because someone told me to/whored for them (Havoc, Greedling, Sano). But I was always sure I'd app them once I had the canon section written out.
1) Uh, well the shallowest reason I've wanted to app someone (but never did) but for Jin because I wanted a character that could glasses-glint sexily at people. |D
2) I have a character pending whose app I've had in mind since before I apped Heero. Haaaah, yeah. And then there're characters who I've always loved and one day just went, "Why haven't I thought of apping them before LET'S DO IT NOW :DD" Although it's never a sure thing and I really don't know I'm committed until I've already had over 100 icons made for them beforehand. Yeah, that's when I'm serious. XD
For the first part ... ehhh, when I was apping Sakuraba, my first thoughts were, "o hey I could play a hot character." I had Heine at the time, but a lot of people mistook him for a girl, so. And I wanted to have a nice character that was perfectly stable.
I know I'm committed to apping when the app actually comes to me in my head. Robert's came out during class one day, and Sakuraba's was formed while I was fixing dinner during finals last semester. The only one I actually sat down and forced out was Kakei's, heh. Mostly, though? My apps are all whims.
2) this didn't uuuused to be true, but with both Ahiru and Doumeki it was when I found the most perfect username ever. And I wanted to register it RIGHT THEN but o, that would be bad luck. And so I knew I would app and reapp forever until I played these characters.
