Welcome to Gaia! ::

Now for the best character nominees:

P.S. I hope I'm making no enemies with my rants. All I do is saying out loud my pros and cons on the topic and I hope many will see it as a piece of advice if they were wondering some stuff about their character. Far from me the idea to bash anyone for unrelated reasons.

Nuke Fusion
What I really like from the Nuke Fusion character is something only two in this category can do: Play both face and heel and play them right! Many didn't see much of Nuke Fusion as a face, but just take a look at DCW and you have it there. It's the kind of character with a personality that fits with many and can hate many, making his range larger for storyline and such. But the problem comes with the fact that the patriotic douche, though it is a classic, it is overdone. We saw everything we had to from foreigners insulting America and it's mostly cliche now.

Chrono
Chrono is the man who loves power and domination and goes in any way he can to get there, though he can be seen as a psycho at the same time, asking for and doing stuff that completely blows our mind off. Big advantage in this category: We understand the Chrono character very quick and can cease the essential of him. But could it be it? Have we seen everything from Chrono and from there, we'll see the same thing over and over? That's what I'm afraid of, honestly.

Jed
Now here's one who understood the oldest concept of RP and applies it a way only him can: To keep people's interest, you have to revamp yourself every once in a while, even if he does it a very radical way by completely changing gimmick. Something that could be seen as an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time is the fact he changes a lot. As much as it keeps people interested in Jed to know what he's going to pull next, it's a total confusion to follow him from a guild to another, making me wondering if Jed is just not a name you stick on many people at once.

Kelly King 2.0
What puts 2.0 in a different category from the others is that he is never seen as one in a thousand. He gets people interested in his gimmick by the way he plays it and with his promos that are literary candies. We get the basic of the character, but not too much, so he can still surprise us. The bad part, it may not be entirely his fault, but it might be the fact that a comfort zone has been built around the characters, which restrains the character a lot and cut the bridge to many interesting things that could happen. It would be good to see 2.0 getting out of that zone to go for many other things than what we saw him do before.

Johnathan Riker
Now here's one that steps out of the lot! You see, there is one thing that makes Riker a lot different from any others here and this could be the turning point of the category: He captivates. There is that bit of mystery over the character that makes everyone look over the promos and just, you know, try to see across the enigmatic Jonathan Riker. Though the character development is really slow, might make people wonder if it's voluntarily adding mystery or just a hidden lack of build-up.

Cartwright
Now here's a character I like as well! Can fit perfectly in the roles of the face and the heel and does a good job in both, something only him and Nuke in this category knows how. But sometimes, the heel character puts him as "another jerk", loudmouth but hides himself when he can, you know, the type of things we're used to from a typical heel. That's the only part that makes me wonder if he could get my vote but otherwise, his expertise in playing both sides as well as he does gives him huge points.

Matt Stone
I like the character and everything he does with him, able to be very versatile and have that style that makes the work with Matt Stone more than easy. Matt Stone can do a lot and does a lot, that's the point that stands out the most when I think of him. The problem is that the character himself, more specifically since a few months, became "a loudmouth like another". The style is slowly dying, or simply going in the down of the "Up and Down" everyone faces at a time or another.

Snypa
Honestly, I wonder what he's doing in the "Best character" category. I could see the guy being best face very easy or get many votes in best RPer, but character, not sure. You see, in my book, the Snypa character lost itself over the months, turning from a sick pyromaniac to a... N00b basher? Isn't it taking OOC to RP, what most here are against? If he was still the pyro guy, he would get my vote since THAT was original and, indeed, hilarious. Btu still, there's always that thing about him that makes us say "What is Snypa gonna do next" and pay attention to him and that's simply magical about that character.

You are without doubt, a WoW f**. rofl

Thanks to Marxx for the kind words and advice.

So then put in a word for Shadow and make the world go round.

And teh Landry man? crying

In all honesty from Marxx said, you have not seen all there is to Chrono. As the time goes by you'll start to see cracks in his "Armor" so to speak, and his 'reign' will eventually end. Just what's going to happen at that point, I'm not telling.. It will be something you'll NEVER see coming though. XD

I don't see my team(s) as a tag team, nor do I see the mafia that way either.

I'll push back the Heel rants to Saturday as I have a lot of things on the shelf and it might take a while before I'm free again for this.
