It's been forever since I did one of these and Apple hit 32k...sometime this weekend? SO LET'S HAVE A QUESTION MEME. Ask me things and I will ask you things back! I can do those dot things and heart things too but you will have to link me to them because HTML is hard.

I have Apple/Shirayuki and Haruki at Aather
Machika, Leo, and Jack at CFUD
Apple/Shirayuki at Decollage

ESTELLE...Is interesting cause while Saya was still playing in games, I tended to leave Estelle out when I didn't think I could handle three. (Later on, I have learned that this was wise of me. NEVER DOING THREE IN A TRAUMA GAME EVER AGAIN. Only bad decisions and burn out lie that way.)

Anyway, I think as a knight she's had a...different experience than most on the basis that most people tend to look at her and go "We must protect the cute girl" and also that the trauma games she made it to were usually ones where knights were together and the 'protect the cute girl' thing was more in play. The only experience she's had to the contrary of 'protect the cute girl' was the issue with Heliodor and Peridot in Peter Pan's knight game, which was just her being scared of fighting and also kind of feeling betrayed that her Heliodor friends threw her under to 'win a game'. There was some expectation from some teams that knights are meant to be used for teams and that...stuck a bit. Though she's also played with Peridot and they did their best to ensure that she didn't have to do anything she didn't want to, and they figured out a fair system that worked for everyone.

I GUESS...To sum it up, with knights there's a little more trepidation in trauma games, because you never know which team you'll be with in a game, or whether or not that team will respect your input and limits or if they'll just view you as a sort of doll to toss around in whichever direction they think would help them win. Most teams are pretty decent and Estelle has mostly good luck on who she's been with. However there's definite awareness that she is not only at the mercy of the Personae, but the mercy of the team she's with and it's a very vulnerable position to be in. (I think this is the reason people tend to app hardier characters in as knights, because the unpredictability means your character has to be able to withstand whatever comes their way. There's both less IC control and less OOC control, since you do not have a consistent team to ICly and OOCly discuss boundaries with.)

...And I JUST NOW realize you said 'games' and not 'trauma games' o-oops. But the idea is the same. If a team has a certain way of doing things, it isn't her place to kick them out of it unless she very strongly feels otherwise. Most teams have allowed her to have input in the more creative games (since she is a natural storyteller!) and very rarely has she had arguments, but she also has been in games where a team member is very insistent on doing this Like This so she tends to go with the flow.

...Unless it's Turquoise. She will troll Turquoise relentlessly, especially Echo.

Hmm...If you wanted to app a knight, who would you app for the role? Pretend that you magically have no issues with playcest and can app from AnS and di[e]ce too.

Oh no that's so hard, I'D APP ZEN SO FAST he would be a really good knight. I would cry over not being able to play off a Zen but I'd still totally do it. He's sturdy enough to handle it and would be good at dealing with most of the teams, giving his opinion or holding back depending on the situation. If teams are having trouble or arguing he can mediate! He is good at being able to Set his feelings aside to deal with people, even if he can't always turn his feelings off, and it would be a lot harder during tough games. He'd also do good in a team environment because he's good with groups, but he tends to take a leader role which might cause problems on a team if they don't want their newbie trying to take charge :|a But it would depend on a lot of factors so I could only speculate, especially since he would be different with amnesia; the point is I would have a lot of fun playing him as a knight. I also considered Machika as a knight vaguely because we need more badass lady knights, but she is...very hotheaded and headstrong and will do what she thinks is right, so she would cause a lot of Problems on teams and get mad if she doesn't get her way. She also likes to hit people to get them to listen to her :')!!! I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT ENDING BADLY AT ALL. I wouldn't mind playing it but I also wouldn't have the energy and I would feel bad being That Person Causing Drama all the time or something ;A; because while she has a really big heart and would love helping and giving quests and all the things I think would make her a good knight, she would also be a problem child. Uhmmm another one I'd considered is Shinichi from DCMK because he is sturdy like Zen and would be good at offering advice and the like but also being able to take a step back if needed. Basically being...able to read the situation? he also has a flare for being dramatic and would give riddle or puzzle quests all the time and his first skill would be shrinking into a small child so everyone would be like D:!!!! Which I just think is funny. That has nothing to do with him actually being a good knight but he would be! All three of them would also do really good in group environments though so if I did app I'd just do hero instead of knight because...knighting looks hard and I don't have the energy for it sob.

Iffff....you could app a fourth character and could balance it with your other three and playercest didn't matter, who would you app???

I thought long and hard about this question, mulled over my options and came to this conclusion:

I would app Cross Marian to troll the fuck out of Red. I NEED NO OTHER REASON FOR IT.

This is a good reason, y/y?

[appleofhiseye]

...That is the perfect reason to app anyone.

[avemaria]

I may get the balls to do it one day after Saya moves on with her teammate. Maybe.

[appleofhiseye]

And everyone that went into Red's heart will know who he is and all the boys will be traumatized and all the girls will be like ////?!?!? IT WOULD BE AWESOME.

[avemaria]

then after a week he'd fuck off with whichever Personae would offer him the most sex and booze and never be seen again.

Goldie

I bet he'd run off with Goldie or Chance, I dunno which other ones would offer him a better deal. But it would just kind of be magical to have someone app him, wreak havoc, and then run off with a Personae omg LEAVE RED IN TEARS

[avemaria]

I guess Dream has a love hotel. That would be pretty tempting...

Magical and in-character! Why commit when your character won't!
