So I'm you know, doing character research since I'm going off hiatus at the bar and Ansible as well as joining another game. The Ender's Game stuff is easy, I need like twenty minutes and I'll have both characters written out. Neku is okay since right now, anything that affects him beyond what I've played to is something he's forgotten. Riku's a little harder - I've got later Riku down, but since I'm rebooting him to before the first game, it's at a point I've speculated a lot about but never actually played. Lots of script rereads for me.

Kaworu's probably the worst, simply because the manga is a lot more cruel and refreshing myself on that as well as having to watch Knocking on Heaven's Door several times, I'm having a wonderful time with that! But the one that probably gives me the most headache is Noodle. I have a lot to draw from, mainly with We Are The Dury. But unfortunately, more often than not, I seem to be asking myself:

What the hell is this little girl talking about?!

I mean, I follow her most of the way through generally, but there's just a certain point she hits where it's kind of like "...and...  but... what?" But apparently her VA had the same exact problem, so LOL.

Crossing so many character research over at the same time (which I love doing), this one just... yeah, it makes Shinji and Noodle a little too similar for my tastes. If I have to think about it they actually have more things in common than that. You never really see the comparisons and contrasts in these things until you're sitting and listening closely. OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE

I suppose this explains why when someone else was test-running Noodle on me, her and Kaworu got on awfully well.

kamehamepwned (11:57:55 PM):    Basically, all this really adds up to is, I am somewhat frightened by how well a man in his 30s interprets the woes of a teenage girl.

Aura da Gamer (11:59:39 PM):    It means nothing and everything. And now that I've said it, it's canon.

(Yes, I realize this post proves I'm exactly like Kaworu and Noodle and talk to much and too far so nobody understands me. I CAME TO TERMS WITH THIS LONG AGO).

But switching back and forth between Evangelion shit and Gorillaz interviews while trying to clean my room is kind of blowing my mind. Did someone turn the lights off in here?

Hey, didn't see you on AIM or I would have asked there - I'm trying to get a pre-Battle School post up for follow_the_lighted_dots & was wondering if you'd settled on a part of the world for your character to be from. (Even as vague as "Europe" or "Africa" works; if it's North America I'd need to know west or east of the Mississippi.)

It's gonna be a retooled Yagami so it would be Osaka in Japan.

That's all I needed, thank you!
