I was basically looking over at the character of the months to the side and reading the little bit about them. I found myself asking a lot of questions about the characters and wanting to know more. So I thought up the idea to interview each character that is up for character of the month so I can get a better idea about them. I plan to do one once a week. I'll put the first one up after I edit it up real quick.

Noel Collier is a seventeen year old male in the Kingdom Hearts universe that grew up in Twilight Town. Like most teenagers growing up on that planet he found it robust and boring. He has the heart for adventure and when finally given the chance to leave boring old home he took it without a second thought.
Noel is the friendly and funny guy of the group. He's not a stand up comedian but his sarcasm is met with laughter and smiles. The teenager is a down to earth type guy that seems to be someone that any character could get along with in the rp. His dream is to one day become a hero and by the looks of his actions in the Kingdom Hearts universe he seems to be getting closer by the page.
----------------------------------------------- -You and I have been rping for a while Tyler, ever since Jenna's KH RP way back when; with Kai, Haku, you, me, Meep, Dina, Shadow, girly, etc. We've probably gone through about five different KH RP's; this one's and Jenna's being the only actual ones that stood around for a bit. Most KH RP's was as far from Kingdom Hearts as one could be since it was the only rp where we all could write with one another and let our creativity flourish. Do you feel since on Where Worlds Collide is a site where our creativity isn't all matted down into one rp, that it made you branch out how you looked about making Noel?
Not really, Noel to me still feels a lot like my numerous Sora's in past KH RP's. The only real difference I can note is that he's not quite as focused on comic relief. Partially from being relieved from that position by other RPers, and partially because I felt like trying to be slightly more serious with the KH RP's following my enjoyment with playing Calvin in NHA.
-This is the first time you didn't go with Sora's look and name. Did you get sick of going by his name and look or did you just decide it was time to move on?
It was peer pressure mostly. Everyone else always poked fun at me for my unoriginal names. And after having Delcage basically pick out Calvin's name for me I decided to prove that I could make an original name.
So I sat down and thought, and nothing would come to me. Then, for whatever reason, Wonderwall by Oasis popped into my head. Then the names of the Gallagher brothers popped into my head and I decided to go with Noel. I guess it's also worth noting that Caleb caught on to that and named his KH:E character Liam, which I thought was cool.
As for the last name, I spent about five minutes on a random name generator until I just got bored and went with the latest one I got. About a week ago in French class I discovered that "Collier" is actually French for "necklace." >.> Lame.
-Reading his personality it seems you developed him to be a down to earth guy. Someone that isn't out there in the sense of it being based in a creative world. Did you want to make a character that was more realistic than say making a demon character or something? Basically did you feel like making a character that was a believable one? Maybe Twilight Town was like Earth to you and Alice in Wonderland was like Mars, and you were Noel experiencing those planets as you would if you flew to Venus with a bunch of strangers and friends from high school. Did you try to make it somewhat realistic when designing him?
Yeah, that's always something that interests me is to see the character's reaction when out of this world things begin happening around him. Not to mention that the way that me and Carol designed KH:E, most characters would be unfamiliar with most of random shit that can happen in the KH universe, so it just made sense.
-Did you find it hard to make up Noel Collier profile to fit the Kingdom Hearts RP or did it come naturally?
Making the profile is always something I dread when it comes to any RP. I find that I rarely stick to the profile I've written and I usually just bullshit my way through and then develop the character's personality half-way based on what I wrote in the profile. Actually, I'd say Noel is the best I've done when it comes to the profile accurately describing the character. And then of course there was the massive beginning stat building which I'm sure made most people shit their pants when they first saw it. [face_tongue]
-Is he based off anyone, or a group of people, in particular from other stories, movies, real life figures?
Like I stated earlier, I did name him after Noel Gallagher, the main songwriter and lead guitarist of Oasis. Other then that, I feel like he's a lot like previous Sora's in some ways, but that wasn't intentional. I guess that's just how I write when it comes to KH RP's.
-When creating Noel did the picture come first or did the profile, and did you find the picture to just fit your character or did it seem to take a while finding the look that really demonstrated what you were trying to get across?
When it comes to pictures, I aim to please the ladies. And in that regard, I let them pick. I'll usually ask Carol to help me with finding a picture. (Although, I can't remember if it was Caleb or Carol who picked out Noel's pic. >.>)
-Do you find it hard posting as Noel? He comes off, as I said previously, a down to earth guy that could be found walking down the street. He doesn't have super powers or a calm and collected personality one hundred percent of the time. He is sarcastic, making jokes about being the big hero and all but he is also serious when the time asks for it. He seems to have a personality that fits each occasion. Honestly he comes off a lot of you. I noticed when reading up on his posts I felt like I was reading a story of you.
I actually did base his personality a lot on myself, specifically his dreams of "being the hero." That stems from my own childhood dreams of wanting to be a hero, and to save my loved ones from evil. In fact, part of my reason for pursuing a career in acting is because I decided that since I couldn't be the awesome heroes of movies and games, I could at least act like them in movies of my own.
I have been finding it rather hard to write as Noel lately though, he hasn't had as much development as I'd like, and NHA has been keeping me more busy. I'd really like to work a bit more on him in the future.
-Noel doesn't seem to be a character that asks for the spotlight, but when it is on him he takes full use of it. Did you ever want him to be the leader of the group as previous characters of yours in the Kingdom Hearts universe has been or did you want to try something new with Noel? Or did you just go with the flow and see what happens and just enjoy rping as him?
I actually NEVER really intend for any my characters to be a leader, it just happens. But when it happens I roll with it, just doing the best I can. I do find that Noel is pretty well suited to be a leader. He wants to be a hero, and his ability of Scan makes him a very valuable asset in combat with new enemies. I think he settles into the roll quite willingly.
-Your ability, scan, seems to fit Noel. A kid that is just coming out of high school and trying to figure everything out. Did you pick scan as a way to show that to other rpers or did you pick that ability for another reason?
I picked Scan out as a slight homage to the ability in the game, which allows you to see the health bars of your enemies. I figured we'd need a character that would let you know what that enemies called, someone who could recognize their weak spots.
-Your stats are said to be the outline of your character and how he matches up with allies and enemies. Did you have anything in particular you wanted him to come off as? Maybe just someone that is really good at fighting and not one for thinking about things or did you just put in the stats that just seemed right to you?
Like I said earlier, I always dread profiles, and I'm sure the stat layout for KH:E made most people shit their pants, I know I did. (Metaphorically of course. >.>) But I did make sure to make my stats as accurate as possible. It's funny though, Noel is one of the strongest characters in KH:E and I never really intended him to be. In fact, I didn't even notice it until other people pointed out that Noel's fighting didn't match his stats.
-Do you feel the time locket expresses anything about your character?
God, that time locket's been so long ago, and it hasn't been utilized much in the RP yet... I do think that the wolf is a proper animal for Noel.
-Speaking as Noel Collier, what would be things he would want us to know about him?
First off, I'm not Vanilla Water... >.> I guess being the normal guy of the group makes you come off that way though.
-What do you think would be the best planet to suit someone like Noel? Is he someone that needs the excitement of the Coliseum by living day after day at battle in the pursuit of perfection in the ring? Would Noel fit right in with Halloween Town with all the ghoulish things? Or is he one that would just love to sing under the sea everyday as a mermaid?
The Coliseum really fits Noel, considering his on-going dream to be a hero, and the Coliseum makes heroes, so it's a perfect fit for him. And I really wouldn't mind going to Atlantica for some spontaneous musical action... But sadly I think that's all up to Noah in NHA now.
-What world do you think Noel will absolutely hate going to? Any particular reason?
Oddly enough, I think going back to Twilight Town after all of these adventures would be quite a bore for Noel. He's living his dream right now, going back home wouldn't be very fun.
-He's seems to come off as the funny/nice guy to everyone in the group and how they react to him. Is that what you wanted to happen or did you want him to come off as different to the other characters such as October.
Yeah, Noel's just a friendly person. He doesn't even hold a grudge against the more unpopular characters of the group like October or Ambrose. He's just like "Whatever, don't do it again lol".
-Do you see Noel as someone that is going to grow and take in the experiences and remember it for the rest of his life? Or do you see him as seeing his adventures in the Kingdom Hearts universe differently?
Well, right now he's living his dream. Getting out, seeing the worlds, having adventures with his friends. I'm sure that once something more serious happens, like possibly a serious injury or death of one of his friends, he might not look at the adventures as just fun and games.
-Who would you say Noel is most like out in the "real world"? It can be a real person or a character like Sawyer in Lost.
Myself lol. Other then that, since you mention it, on random occasions I do take to giving out random nicknames a'la Sawyer from Lost. I even go so far as to go the "nicknames" page on Lostpedia to find one or maybe help me think of one.
-Looking back is there anything you wish you could have changed that you had done with him?
A little more development would have been nice. As much as I love NHA as well, at times I feel like it hurts me when it comes to KH:E. I was never good at multi-tasking RP's, so it's just something I have to work on. -----------------------------------------------
I hope people took something away from this and learned something new about Noel Collier. I know I enjoyed doing this interview and reading the responses. I really enjoyed getting a chance to understand how Tyler goes about Noel.

Drake Shadows is a seventeen year old young man that is currently enrolled in New Haven Academy. He has the power to control and manipulate shadows to do his bidding and seems to have had to grow up at quite a young age due to his mutant powers. He is very protective over his younger sister, Fayth, and always looks out for her best interest. Apparently the reason behind his vote for character of the month is his emo looks and meandering heart. After having this interview with Caleb however, the man behind Drake, I feel there is more than meets the eye. I hope you all get something out of it.
-I'll start off with the question that I am always so curious about with rpers and their characters. How did you go about making your character from how he should act, look, his back story, meaning of his name, everything. Drake was made because Nick wanted me to make an NHA character. I was originally not going to rp in NHA but Nick asked so I made his character a brother and since it was Nick, of course the last name would be Shadows which was a complete coincidence that his power was Shadow Manipulation. I had the power thought out before the name happened.-Was he based off anyone from another story/show/real life? Well...his calmer side is based mainly off of Cain from the manga Godchild. His explosive side is just something that happened.-Shadow manipulation isn't the first power to pop into my head when it comes to making a character for an X-Men like rp. What made you decide on that power? I wanted a character that dealt with Darkness and I thought shadow control was just awesome.-I know you and Tyler like to act, and you even like to draw, with having experience in both do you feel you went about making Drake different than say someone who is just a writer like myself? Not really. I just took more consideration for the way he looked. As an artist, I didn't want a shitty drawn pic for his description so I spent a lot of time on that.-Do you feel you have progressed Drake nicely or do you wish you had done things differently looking back? I just wish I had made him less flaky and anti-social, but he's turned out alright.-If you had to pick one thing, which I'm having you do, what would you say is the worst quality about Drake? Like do you feel he judges people too early? Does he latch on too easily? Such things as that. Like I've stated before, he's flaky. He usually doesn't wait for an order before being all like "Screw it, time for action"-Is it hard to get in character with Drake or does it just happen? Do you have to remind yourself of how Drake would look at a situation compared to how you would? It was hard at first because he's nothing like me, but as we've been going I've grown more attached to him and his personality feels more like my own. -Shadow manipulation is something that could be considered a conniving/sneaking like power. It isn't like fire manipulation where you know what you get with it. Until it is really used on someone they have no idea what will happen. Do you think that power fits Drake? Or do you think he would much rather have another ability? If so what power would it be? Yeah it works for him. He's not the strongest person so a head on type ability wouldn't fit him. Also he's plotted against Hein for Cheshire in the past while being Hein's friend. Conniving at its best.-Your stats for the most part seem to be equal. While intelligence and control seem to be what you value most out of all the rest, did you plan to make him a balanced fighter, or have you just decided to go that route recently? Any specific reason why? I originally wanted a balanced guy but decided that I would rather him be smart and have good control because with a power like his, you don't really need strength or fighting skills, just the ability to outsmart and trap your opponent. -Anything Drake would want us to know that hasn't been expressed yet or hasn't fully been expressed? Pre-NHA he ran into some trouble with a villain in London while staying with his Uncle. It resulted in the death of a girl he really cared for. -Did Drake ever catch him? And why was the girl Drake liked killed? Unfortunately no. She got killed while getting caught up in the middle of cross fire by trying to stop it. If anyone wants to learn more about Drake's past then start looking at the Apollo to see a story of him I'm currently working on-Drake is given the power to play Cupid, who does he make fall in love with him? And what two characters would he make fall in love for either pure amusement or he just thinks they would fit best? It can be students or teachers. Cheshire hands down . As for the people for his amusement...Jin and Theo, that would make me laugh my ass off to see. -Drake has one more year to NHA before his graduation, do you see him as coming back to the school to teach or contribute to it or do you see him going out into the "real" world and go off to college or try to have a normal life? He'll probably end up going back to New York to work for the group he did while in London but I think he'll contribute to the school as well.-Being a hero isn't easy, what was the hardest thing Drake has had to overcome, and don't say being home before dinner. Well first he was disowned by his parents. Although he wasn't forced to live on the streets like most people thanks to his uncle, it hurt him deeply because he truly loved his father and just got easily disowned by him. -Which person does Drake look up to most in the NHA universe? Why? Mighty Z. Because he's the clean cut hero everyone wants to be. Plus he totally sacrificed himself to save the world. Read my story...-Which teacher gets on his nerves the most? Why? There's actually no teacher that bothers him.-Drake isn't the captain to the Ruriks squad, do you think he wants to be? Do you think he could lead that group or is he more of a person that likes to take orders instead of give them? Nah he's not the leader type. He'll gladly give orders or receive them but he wouldn't want to be given the responsibilities a captain has.-Any specific reason behind his codename? Besides sounding cool no.-In the Zombie RP I'm going to go out on a limb and say Drake didn't perform to snuff and Rosie's character had to bail all your asses out. If given another chance would he be able to go the distance and show up Rambolina? No one wants to show that crazy girl up at the risk of being killed like a punk bitch lol.

-I'll start off with the question that I am always so curious about with rpers and their characters. How did you go about making your character from how he should act, look, his back story, meaning of his name, everything.
Ah, Doki Kahuno. Well, as stated in the biography, Kahuno sounds like Kahuna, an obvious reference to his love of surfing. As for Doki, I dunno, where do any of us get our names? I believe a week or two before we started the Avatar RP I had just finishing watching the first half of Gurren Lagann in one day, and me and my friends were fangasming over Kamina, so I gave him that manly attitude. Of course, he's died down with that now. BUT STILL A MAN! Funny thing, his backstory is very similar to Cody Maverick of the movie Surf's Up, LOL.
-I notice that when you make characters you draw up the image after. What's the process when you draw up your characters?
I actually have the basic picture of the character in my head before anything else, like the name and what not. I usually just draw what I see in my head. NOTE: Doki originally was drawn with gray hair and NO BEARD.
-Was he based off anyone from another story/show/real life?
My two biggest inspirations were Kamina of Gurren Lagann and BantyoLeomon of Digimon Savers.
-I really like the idea of a water bender that surfs, how did you think that up? Were you watching something and it suddenly hit you?
Eh, I just kinda figured, waterbender->water->water sport->surfing. Amazing how the brain works.
-What's your favorite thing about Doki?
His ability to be so dense and naive to everything, and to be able to shrug anything off. I also love his never-ending vow to beat Zince up once they're no longer fugatives. OH AND HIS BEARD LOL
-His stats by far seemed to be distributed into his durability. Is there any specific reason for this or did you just want someone that could take a punch?
A true man is someone that keeps getting up no matter what life throws their way. So of course he'd need high durability to get back up.
-Why did you decide to have Doki looking for the "true man's way of life"?
This was actually somewhat based off of Shaman King's Ryu, always looking for his 'sacred hang'. Its also good for him to have something to aspire to. He's a lost little boy looking for the right path in life.
-Most of your characters seem to be the comic-relief type. How did you go about it to make this character still comic-relief but unlike your past characters?
Most of my characters? Try all of my characters are comic relief. Eh, my other characters were comic relief in the sense that they were just easily excitable, dimwitted, lovable nerds. Doki's an excitable dimwitted MAN!. Eh, nothing that huge.
-What do you think Doki will do when he finds his answer of a "true man's way of life"?
Probably open up a dojo to teach passing digimon tamers how to harness their digisouls to get BURST MODE. That or a pie shop.
-What made you decide to make Doki a water bender? Was it because you thought up his ability first or was there another reason?
Well, water's my favorite element alongside lightning, and there was, and still is slightly, a lack of waterbenders in the RP, so look who everyone'll come crawling to when they need a big ole' waterbender to save the day. Me.
-You never brought up his family in his bio, any reason behind that?
I like to leave out a lot of history in the background, just so I can fill it in later on. For example, I did mention that his father left to go to war and never returned, and he wanted to grow up to be a true man like his dad. I also mentioned that his mother and two older brothers were geniuses, making him feel like a total oddball.
-What would be something Doki would want us to know about his past?
Pretty much just told you a nice tidbit right before that. Another thing? Was like the biggest role model for the young impressionable children of their tribe. UH OH!
-What was his plans before becoming a fugitive?
Just to be an awesome soldier and work his way up to the tops, or stay at the bottom, or do whatever. Doki doesn't like to think that far ahead.
-What is Doki's biggest strength?
He's probably able to adapt to any situation really, just because he's too simple minded to be affected too badly.
-What do you think hinders Doki?
It takes him a couple of minutes to conjure up a good enough geyser. He's never actually been in a one-on-one fight other than at the very beginning, and he was able to get the geyser ready ahead of time. That and he needs to focus to use it.
-Does Doki like being a water bender or do you think he would much rather bend another element?
Doki loves his waterbending, only because he's too dense to imagine what it'd be like if he could bend other elements. NOTE: For the longest time it was a tossup that Doki either be a waterbender or earthbender.
-What element would he hate to be a bender of?
Once again, too dense to think. But if he put an effort into it, probably fire.
-Doki is giving three wishes with the normal rules (no infinite wishes) what does he wish for?
To be able to eat as much as he wanted without becoming out of shape, To be able to summon geysers instantly, To know what happened to daddy. )= He would NOT wish to find the way of a true man, for a true man wouldn't cheat like that.
-Does Doki drink syrup? Does he wear overalls? Does he have a grizzly bear for a beard? IS HE CANADIAN?!
ALL OF THE ABOVE MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE. I FOR ONE AM ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

You had a character of a month so I'll be sending you questions about her.
|
|
|
Post by cloud390 on May 22, 2009 15:20:45 GMT -5
How did you go about making your character from how she should act, look, her back story, meaning of her name, everything.
Hmmm...well it all just sort of came to me. Her picture I just found and liked on photobucket. I'd always loved the name Jodianna. I'm not really sure the meaning of it. @__@ I just made it up some long time ago. Her personality is based on another RP character I had awhile ago, on an RP site that died. Usually my characters are very outgoing and loud, sort of my like own personality, but I felt the need to get outside my usual niche. Shy seemed like an interesting thing to try. *shrug*
-Was she based off anyone from another story/show/real life?
Originally, no, but now as I'm working more with her, she reminds me a bit of Hinata from Naruto. xD Other then that, not really.
-How did you come up with the idea for glass manipulation?
After I started watching Heroes. I was thinking of an OC for that, and the image of shards of glass just whirling in the air seemed pretty badass to me. I like the offensive qualities, as well as the fact that it can be found nearly anyway where the is civilization. She'd be in trouble in a rural area though!
-Her picture is a lot different than most pictures are. It seems she is depicted as someone running away, hiding her face as much as possible compare to most pictures of the students being full facial shots so everyone knows exactly how they look. Is that a trait of hers by chance?
Aaah yes. Yes indeed. I always use my character's picture to shape their personality. Anya's pick has a computer, Dimitre's is sucking on candy, Odette's is surround by what looked to me like cultish or religious materials...Jodi's also attributed to that in the same way.
-How much of Jodianna story do we still have to look forward to? Like has her past completely been told?
Oh a lot is still left to say. Hardly anything of her past has been told. She hasn't always been the bashful little thing she is now. She's gone through many different things that have shaped her into who she is now. I'm excited to develop her past more.
-What is your favorite part about writing as Jodianna?
Like I said, she's different then what I'm used to. While that's challenging I also really like it. It's fun to get into character.
-Whose her favorite teacher?
Hmm that's hard to say. She doesn't really have any close relationships to the teachers, because up until this year she's mainly been a simple 'study eat sleep' type of girl. Stylianos terrifies her, ha ha! Other then that, she probably likes all the teachers equally.
-Who does she seem to like to hang out with most?
Probably Chloe, at this moment. Jodi's sort of in awe of the girl, mainly because Chloe's is everything she wishes she could be. When they're around each other she feels more the way she used to, before her personality change.
-What's something that makes Jodianna stand out from the rest of your characters out of all the rp's to you?
She's much more fragile then most characters. Or maybe 'sensitive' is a better word. She easily picks up on other people's verbal and body clues, and is in tune to their emotions. I've never really RP'd such an empathetic character before.
-Jodianna is allowed to pick her power, which one does she choose?
Invisibility. Hands down.
-Is it hard to post as Jodianna or no?
Yes. Yes it is. T__T
-What's Jodianna's favorite thing about being at New Haven Academy?
The books, lol. And the fact that no one has to hide who they really are. That's new to her.
-What is something about Jodianna that she would never tell anyone in NHA?
She used to rob gas stations and grocery stores at gun point all the time. Jodi would die if anyone found out.
-What's her favorite hobby?
She is sort of nosy, lol. She likes going around and taking notes on people's personalities and their conversations. Jodi also loves horror movies, oddly enough. If it were up to her, she'd spend all day watching them.
-Does she have any plans after her school years at NHA?
Jodi wants to become a Genetic Researcher for the mutants. She wants to develop formulas that can assist mutants in their short comings.
-Any specific reason behind her codename besides the Alice in Wonderland reference?
In her profile it is mentioned that, after running away from her father, she ended up joining a gang. She got the nickname there, because she always had a sort of wolfish grin on her face. Also because of her, at times irritating, love for riddles.
-Do you feel she is a fully developed character or does she still have a long way to go? Why?
She still has a long way to go. There are things in her past and present that she has to come to terms with, as well as her own personality shortcomings.
-Besides being really shy, is there another characteristic or bad habit that you feel holds her back a bit?
She's very...afraid. Afraid of losing control, of hurting someone, of failing her teammates. Because of this she's constantly holding back, even when her friends need her to give it all she's got.
-The students at NHA decide to do a game of dodge ball; is she picked closer to beginning or end out of everyone? Why?
She'd probably get picked last. xD Unless someone like Hein or Drake took pity on her. Jodi is not cut out for dodgeball.

-How did you go about making your character from how he should act, look, his back story, meaning of his name, everything.
I just wanted someone who was pretty regular, but tended to look at the world more half glass empty. He's still pretty antisocial with most people, but I know I wanted him to strive to do good. His back story was pretty easy, I know I wanted the overbearing father who wanted a star athlete kid, but not much else to him. Name was pretty easy. Danny actually comes from my Irish friends who has 5 younger siblings, so the whole idea of struggling to keep peace within that delicate family structure was the inspiration for the name. Also, I wanted a name where the mature version (Dan) had drastically different connotations to Danny. In the same vein, Petroni comes from Petra, or rock, or Peter, and I wanted that idea of him being a steady anchor in the last name.
-What made you decide to make a character that was so driven? No matter what he does he seems to have the attitude to strive for the best.
Danny is driven because of his father mostly. His family is middle class to poor, so he wants to work even though he could probably get away without doing so. He hates the idea of giving up on anything or anyone.
-Was he based off anyone from another story/show/real life?
Not really. Inspirations from my friend's situation above and a bit from me.
-Looking back, anything you wish you would have done differently with him?
I might have made him less jaded, but other than that, I like Danny as is.
-Do you think Danny's picture portrays him well?
I'm sure there are many ways to interpret the picture, but at least the way I saw it was a guy who was on the top of his world falling. It goes well with that ordinary image contrasted by the fact that I know he'd be sucked into that KH:E adventure, likely against his will, lol.
-Has a lot of Danny's story been told to us or is there more to come?
There's not much to Danny's back story. Pretty much what's written on the tin. Most of the developments to his character will be affected by the plot, but I don't have a written out idea of where I want to see him wind up.
-What is the hardest part about writing as Danny?
Writing as Danny got progressively more difficult for me. His character is jaded, but aims to be heroic. I don't want him being too jaded to the point where he's just a Cloud ripoff or whatever or too heroic to the point where he's just a cookie cutter hero. And I feel I've fallen into that trap on both sides, so I'm trying to course correct.
-Is it hard to get in character with him?
Yeah, connecting to the previous question. But other times it really isn't, but I have difficulty getting him to branch out more. I find it easier writing with characters that he has had some connection to. Otherwise, it's hard to not have him be too jaded because he has no connection to that character. Conversely, fighting the sinister bad guy has him winding up acting too heroic.
-What was his goals before Twilight Town got attacked?
His goal in Twilight Town was probably to become top Struggler and go to college, but that uncertainty of the future makes it hard to say what could have been.
-What's something that makes Danny stand out from the rest of your characters out of all the rp's to you?
I think in comparison to them, Danny ends up being unquestionably heroic. While he has that inner turmoil that a lot of my characters have either overtly (Shiloh) or quietly, it tends to be more at his frustration of being unable to do more and coping with the fat that he's a very small fish in a very large pond.
-Danny is allowed to visit any world, which one does he choose?
Danny would probably visit Olympus Coliseum for the good tournaments, and then try to open up his own sports/weapons shop there.
-Where did Danny learn to be such a good struggle bat fighter?
His dad won the annual Struggle tournament like 4 times in his prime. That's why his dad pushed for his son to take up the sport, though their styles are radically different. His dad relied more on speed and strength while Danny is incredibly slow and didn't quite pack that same punch, so he ended up developing an independent style that relied on his intelligence and durability. Shout out to SDS here: that fight in the tournament against Cose was awesome my friend =)
-What is something about Danny he wouldn't want anyone to know?
Danny wouldn't want his richer teammates to know about his father's store just because he takes pride in it and doesn't want people belittling his father for it.
-What's Danny's best quality about him?
Danny's best quality is easily his durability. He's stubborn, but it also makes him unwilling to give up in any situation, even with October.
-Do you feel he is a fully developed character or does he still have a long way to go? Why?
I'm still not impressed with how I'm portraying Danny. That equilibrium is hard, so I'm still gonna work at it and hope he also develops during the plotline.
-Do you feel Danny has opened up more due to everything? I noticed in the beginning you had him as someone that wouldn't just talk about himself, he really had to trust the people.
It'll be a long time before Danny fully opens up, but I know he wants to confide in people like October even if she doesn't reciprocate or help. With the loss of his family on Twilight Town, it's probably made him a bit more guarded against people who weren't originally in their group.
-Why is trust such a huge thing to him? Did something happen to him when he was younger?
Danny's just someone who appreciates knowing what is going on. So when people mislead him and mess with that structure in his life, it frustrates him.
-None of the adventure takes place, what would he be doing right now?
Going to school and kicking butt in Struggle. Nothing very out of the ordinary, he definitely believes in structure, even if it grates against him sometimes.
-Danny is given father of times power. What time period does he go to? (Can be either past or future) and describe what it is like for him there.
Danny would probably want to go somewhere rich in culture like Italy during the Renaissance. He would like the structure of the time and the chance to discuss life with people wiser than he.

-How did you go about making your character from how he should act, look, his back story, meaning of his name, everything. Mikomi is the daughter of a previous character of mine that originated from our short-lived Naruto RP. Her parents are well-developed characters and the situation that was born from impacted her life a lot. Mikomi was born to my previous character during a dark time and she was raised in a single parent home for three years before her parents were reunited. Mikomi means ‘hope’ in Japanese and she was named that because she stood as a symbol of her parents’ undying bond and immortal love.
Her personality is very complex. Mikomi started off as a happy toddler and I never thought she’d be anything but that. Except things have happened to her that have forced her to become who she is. She finds out about her parents’ dark past. She has a peculiar power. People picked on her for being exotic. She had to fight just to keep some part of herself alive. Mikomi is also someone, believe it or not, that bottles things up. It’s funny because she’s very explosive but usually what sends her off the edge is not what she’s actually mad with at that particular time. Mikomi is also extremely passionate and that passion leads her to do great things sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. -Darkness wasn't an element shown in the Avatar show, so what made you decide to use that as your element? How did you go about deciding how it could be controlled and used? In our previous Avatar RP, we had a darkbender (two of them actually) and there was a lightbender who never made it into the RP apparently. Mikomi inherited her power from her father and her father is one of the darkbenders from the previous RP. When we were deciding on it, it was really hard. I caught a lot of heat for making her and if it wasn’t for Cheshire, I would have scratched Mikomi and made a new character. I just had to be practical, I guess. “Darkbending” is pretty abstract and so it could be abused. So we actually stripped away a lot of the things that her father could do. He could actually gauge people’s souls, their yin and yang and stuff. Mikomi on the other hand almost has a psychic ability because she can pick up on events that past just by feeling the dark energy left. She’s very intuitive but she is not a fortuneteller. When I thought about how to use it offensive, I knew that either it would work like air or it would work like water. I ended up choosing water because we had a lot of Airbenders in the beginning.-Why is Miko's past so fresh in her mind? Because Mikomi has had a bomb dropped on her lap. She’s gone through life thinking that something was wrong with her. She didn’t think she was special in any way. She just thought she was a normal girl who was weird and got picked on a lot. Then she finds out about all these rich cultures she comes from and for her its like finding the light at the end of the tunnel. Plus, she found out that she comes from a royal line. I think that’s everybody’s dream! The Princess Diaries! -What made you decide to make Miko have such a short temper? I noticed when she was having 'girl talk' with Odette she kept prying at her to get her question(s) answered. Is she someone that when she is curious about something she won't stop until she finds out about it? I kinda answered that question earlier. Mikomi’s temper is partly inherited from her father and partly inherited as a defense mechanism. She’s been fighting for herself all through Ozai Academy. She also has a complex because Troy-who is her best friend-was very popular in high school and she was emo and getting into fights. Troy is very pushy and as will probably come out, he spent a lot of time picking on Miko. When they were kids he’d push her down, pull on her pigtails, call her names. So after going through this for awhile, she learned to defend herself. Really she learned to take Troy down first before he could get to her. Her father is also very blunt and aggressive. Troy’s mother is extremely aggressive. She’s just use to pushy people.
Odette is basically Mikomi’s female Troy. I don’t think either of them realizes that they’re friends. So when Odette was dodging the question, Mikomi sensed the fear and went in for the kill kind of like she would if she had been with Troy. Both girls probably think that they were trying to tear each other down but really it was just some twisted game of friendly teasing like ‘you gotta crush! You gotta crush!’ Plus Odette fascinates Mikomi because Odette is a girl who hits back. It’s kind of the one trick pony novelty. So on some level, Mikomi baits Odette because Mikomi is competitive and wants to fight.-What made you decide on the picture for her? Mikomi is a fusion of her parents. She had to be dark skinned because her mother is dark skinned and have close to white hair because her father has white hair. So I realized that Storm from Xmen fit that description so I went to deviant art and stared at Storm pictures till one struck a chord in me. Then Robo edited her eyes. Actually, Mikomi’s original picture was this:And I prefer this picture actually because the energy of the picture is so Mikomi. She just makes you go, “Wow!” and smile.-Do you feel the image portrays her edgy and short tempered side? Yes and it gives her the air of mystery that I think Mikomi has.-Is she based off anyone in particular? Nope. She is shaped and molded by her parents and the circumstances she grew up in. I’m sure there’s probably some part of me that I see in her or wish that there was some part of her that I wish I could see in myself.-What's one thing you hate about Miko as a person but love looking at it in a character sense? Like do you hate how she acts because you couldn't talk to someone like that but love it because it makes Miko different. Her passion answers all these questions. It’s her greatest asset and flaw at the same time. Mikomi is the type of person who will do foolish things for something and make horrible decisions that she is actually too smart to make. It’s just that her heart always gets in the way. Look at how Troy treats her. She’s sacrificed so much in her life because she loves him so much and no matter how much she takes a beating for it, she’s still by his side.-What does Miko want out of life? Mikomi wants to be her own person. She looks at her parents and thinks her mother is perfect, she thinks her father is incredible and she is just a royal screw up. She wants to find her place in life and be amazing at it.-Does she like her element? No. If Mikomi had a choice, she’d rid herself of it. It comes with too much baggage.-Anything she would want us all to know about her? Mikomi was ranked the number one player and MVP in the soccer division and turned down a contract to play on the National team for the Fire Nation so she could be Troy’s First in Command.-Is Miko someone that could survive for a long time or sooner or later burn out? I think Mikomi is destined to die young and for a cause.-Is her short temper her worst trait? I don’t think so. I think Mikomi’s explosiveness is part of her appeal.-Do you see that changing with all that has happened or has it only made it worse? Mikomi will calm down as she matures. It’s just more about her angst right now and her resentment toward her parents never telling her about her past. When she puts that aside, she’ll be a better person for it but Mikomi will never be a push over.-What would she be doing if she wasn't a fugitive right now? Miko and Troy would probably be wrapped up in their dysfunctional passion. Either fighting or wildly making out to say the least. Probably both.-Looking back anything you wish you would have done differently or do you like how she has been portrayed up until now? Nope. I love Mikomi and I can’t wait for her to grow.-Who is Miko (personality wise) more like, her dad or mom? I use to think Mikomi was like her mother because she has her mother’s passion and keeps things bottled up until they explode. Then I realized that she’s just like her father plus volume. She’s moody, stubborn, set in her ways, private and territorial. That’s definitely Yami.-This rp is made into a live action movie, who plays Miko and why? Ooooooooooh. Rochelle Aytes would be perfect. She’s stunning with those wild curls (all they’d have to do is dye them silver or white) and she has this mysterious strength about herself that can be so strong but admirable at the same time: and she has an athletic build, which is the only reason she beat out Frieda Pinto!

-How did you go about making your character from how he should act, look, his back story, meaning of his name, everything.
Ah well when me and Del were starting our New Haven basics, you know, setting up story background, setting, classes, everything we knew that had to be in there from the get go of this project. That included teachers of course and for the most part we took turns making teachers, Del would take on and I’d take the other and so he sprawled out some basic ideas and one was for a character codenamed Avenger/Vengeance who was going to be a really happy-go-lucky guy. Well I really liked Vengeance as a codename but I thought it was too serious so instead of changing the codename I changed the entire person. I’m a big comic book nerd so when I looked back at the X-Men it’s hard to not notice how culturally diverse they are and Del and I tried hard to bring that international feel to NHA. So we still needed a Russian (a Colossus if you will) so while in the X-Men their Russian is this nice, gentle giant I went the other way and decided to make this lean, sharp featured snark of a grump.
Okay, so with our basic personality set on “ASS” and body structure set to “LANKY” then the rest was pretty simple. I wanted him to be Russian born, he had a hard life growing up in the middle of this revolution where most of his friends died on a daily basis so his hearts is… frozen (cheesy, I know) and that’s how we explained how grumpy he was. For the look it was just luck, dig through photobucket long enough and you’ll find anything and luckily I just stumbled long enough to find that gem. So we had the picture we had the personality, we had the background so all I wanted to add was little sprinkles of quirkiness that makes him more then just some cookie cutter character so, because he was a medic, I made him the school nurse and because every school needs and attractive male teacher I chose him to be the one that the girls fawn over (mostly because the idea of the heartthrob wanting nothing to do with his admirers is just neat).
As for his name I wanted juxtaposition. His first name is obviously taken from Vlad the Impaler but the name most people call him by, Utkin, means duckling in Russian lol.
-Was he based off anyone from another story/show/real life?
Not really, I mean obviously he has this Snape vibe coming off him so I can see where there can be parallels drawn between the two characters. If anything most of my English Teachers have been really cool so I guess I just wanted to make one that was a jerk lol.
-How'd you come up with his power?
It was actually Del’s idea; he had it listed for him already so all credit goes to him. Utkin’s power most closely resembles Mimic and Synch from the X-Men comics, both of whom could absorb powers but the fact that Utkin has to be hit first makes him a little like Sebastian Shaw (whose power is currently being used by a character that will be introduced shortly).
-Any reason behind his codename?
Not really, just like I had said before Del had given me a choice between Avenger and Vengeance so I just picked the one that sounded kind of cool lol.
-What more can we expect to learn of Professor Utkin?
Ah, the big thing people will learn about our dear English teacher is his feelings over Yun’s suicide which I really haven’t dwelled into much for reason that will also be revealed later on. Utkin may be grumpy and sarcastic but he does care deeply for his students so you’ll get to see how much of a softy he is when a certain event reminds him of her. Besides that look forward to some more Utkin and Diana drama-rama because she should be showing up pretty soon…
-Did you ever expect him to be such a pimp with all the 16 year old girl characters when you were making him?
Well, like I said we wanted him to be the apple of every girl’s eye so we had a basic idea, however I never thought that the other RPers would play along so well, you guys did a really good job in making Utkin’s “hotness” in the eyes of the girls more of a reality and less of something just stated. What I didn’t think was going to happen was the strong level of infatuation that Damaru was able to portray with Yun which I think added another, more dangerous, layer to the idea of student-teacher relations.
-Did you find it harder to rp as a professor? It's not like he can necessarily progress like a student. As an adult you are seen as someone that will act as you act and not really mature/change.
Actually it’s easier to post as Utkin then as Robbie or Odillio sometimes lol. I think I just feel more comfortable with him, probably because I want to be a teacher myself so posting about a character that does something that interests me really helps in getting into character. He’s also a nurse so I’m already a bit of anatomy nerd so that helps a bunch too.
As far as progress, I wouldn’t say that being a professor means you can’t have the character progress, just not as much, and Utkin is still young so there is always room for him to grow. I think the Diana events in particular have allowed Utkin to show a side of himself that wouldn’t expose otherwise so in someway that’s a type of progression. That said, I’m kind of new to relationships in RPs (more intimate ones I mean) so those times where Utkin has to show some affection in more then a teacher-student, or teacher-teacher way kind of throw me off. Rosie makes my life pretty easy though lol.
-Is it hard posting as the professor?
Sometimes it’s hard finding people to interact with, being a Professor is different then being a student because you are not having the teacher find student’s to talk too (that’s just creepy). It’s more passive so it’s hard in the fact that you are really dependent on others and easier in the fact that your posts come to you.
-Does his age affect anything with him in your mind?
Hmm, not really, it’d be different if he was more talkative and outgoing but because he’s more reserved it’s actually easier to portray maturity through his silence.
-What made you decide on his picture?
He was…pale… and had all those stereotypical bubbles around him that manga artists usually use to portray something attractive (like bloom I guess). He was grumpy and really the most important thing was that I’ve never seen that picture in circulation before I found it so it’s cool to use a picture nobody has seen before.
-Do you think it portrays him well?
Yeah… I know… one word…lame >_<. No, but it gives off this kind of stuck up vibe that most people would probably get from Utkin at first glance.
-Anything Utkin would want us to know about him?
Not really lol, for the most part everything he wants people to know they already know and everything else is his to keep in side. He has a mindset that believes that anything he complains about is just extra mental baggage for whoever listens.
-Do you see him settling down to have a family?
Yeah, I could see that, just because he’s a monster to the students doesn’t mean he doesn’t want something more in life then his job. He’s almost starved from some kind of stronger relationship by this point. He just needs to find the right girl for him…
-What was the hardest adjustment for him when he started teaching all the students at NHA?
Actually the hardest adjustment for him was trying to find ways for the students to enjoy what they were reading. He tried everything, having the kids act stories out, having them make games, trying to make class fun but nothing would work. So… he just said fuck it lol and decided to just give it to them straight if they were never going to be happy anyway. That’s why his class is so boring now D:.
-What's his biggest regret over the past year?
Probably between what happened to Yun and letting Diana leave without telling her how he feels.
-Did Utkin always want to be a teacher?
I think he’s always wanted to do something to aid children, because in his childhood there was only fight or die. War had torn away his childhood so he’s always wanted to do something that would make children happy. So it was between becoming a pediatrician and becoming a teacher but New Haven found him first, and being able to help the kids as both students and mutants was something that was perfect for him.
-Utkin is able to promote any of the students to a teacher, who does he pick?
Chloe. He sees a little of himself in her, she's strong and determined, independent and confident, she's shown time and time and again far more maturity then any of the other classmates and he respects that. She's an old soul and besides a few ups and downs (as well as their rocky relationship) he feels like she'd make the best teacher of the senior class.

-Ambrose comes off to me as that silent guy that is extremely strong but only uses it when he needs to. Kind of like a Spiderman type complex. Is that an accurate depiction of your character?
Ah, like Spider-Man? Not really lol. I mean, you are right, he’s very quiet and reserved and (as far as physical strength goes) is up there. That said he’s more reserved because in the past, back home, because of just his appearance (the glare, the imposing form, etc.) he was always being blamed when things went wrong. The kids would pick on him, he’d fight back and then he’d be the one in trouble and eventually he just got aggravated by the whole thing. He’s reserved because he might as well not even try… well… at least in his mind.
-How did you go about making your character from how he should act, look, his back story, meaning of his name, everything.
Nothing really, I had been asked to try something a little different and the characters I had at the time were Robbie, who’s meek and kind of dull, and Utkin who’s… grumpy and dull lol. So, I tried to, uh, go with a more aggressive character and that’s how I formed the basis of him. I wanted to put a little twist on the bitter-raging-dude archetype so I put that even though he looked tough he was actually a pretty good guy as a kid, the world around him put this role on him so he eventually wound up playing the part. I haven’t really been able to show almost any of that lol, because the people around him are so keen on picking at him and he has a short fuse (that’s only gotten shorter since he teamed up with them). As for the name Ambrose? I wanted something kind of feminine lol, just to have a little fun with the character (similar to Utkin’s duck name), but his middle name (Roland) was the one people were supposed to know him buy. Unfortunately people just, one by one, knew his name without him giving it and they chose Ambrose lol. His last name, Drogo, is the part I wanted to be kind of sharp and aggressive in its sound. His family is powerful and wealthy back home so their name really had to fit that.
The weapon he has… is something that I hadn’t really planned on. I knew I wanted something blunt, he’s a thug so a blade or whip is too elegant in form and use to give him, it was actually Damaru who suggested the Meteor Hammer and after watching a couple of videos I knew that was perfect.
His Cola habit was just something he developed I guess lol. A little quirk here and there never hurt anyone right?
-Was he based off anyone from another story/show/real life?
Not really, some of his attitude though is a mix of old prohibition era gangsters and current age, manga delinquents so that gave me a base personality at least.
-Are you pleased with how he has progressed or would you have liked to changed a few things?
Not really to be honest, Ambrose is one of my least favorite characters (although there is one I dislike even more). He was supposed to be something else and I think I let his environment change him a bit too much to where unfortunately he’s been type cast as this just angry dude who just stomps around and causes problems, although, like I said, that is who the world makes him so I guess it makes sense if I take the half-full approach. That said, I wouldn’t change anything. Every character is a learning experience and a challenge that in the end is going to help me out in one way or another regardless of how successful I feel they are.
-Looking at the picture you used for him I am instantly drawn to his eyes. I don't know why but for some reason I sense intensity when looking at them. It seems the artist only really cared about the facial features also. Do you feel this is all an accurate depiction of your character?
Definitely, I uh, actually came up with the profile before the picture this time and one of my big focal points was the eyes because, like I said, I wanted to give him this fierce facial presence that would cause all these problems for him. I’m really lucky to have found something like that and… you don’t even want to know what I had to dig through to come across that one lol.
-What came first, picture or profile?
Profile came first but picture helped me shape a few things later on.
-Did you always have an idea of what you were looking for or did you just seem to stumble upon it and go "this is perfect!"
I definitely did stumble with Ambrose, playing with him isn’t like the others, nothing is really planned out because he’s such a secondary character, he’s more active in the fact that everything is so spontaneous with him. In fact his introduction, that awful jumbled mess at the Diner (which I still swear that I didn’t know was already a place in the RP) was all just on the fly, and I left the site for like an hour only to find all this craziness and I just rolled with it lol. It came out surprisingly okay.
That said, I wouldn’t say a few things made me exclaim perfect although the team up with Danny against Deliza, which gave people some new found respect for him, and his backing by Zaiya were both things that developed on their own thanks to Robo and Meep and I’m very thankful that they happened.
-What's something Ambrose hasn't told the group?
They bug him a lot but, he’s never had a group of people like them who are so open with him, not scared at all and he kind of digs that but at the same time it’s frightening. He’s dealing with people for the first time in forever that aren’t plotting to kill him so he’s very aggressive, tries to push them away through anger because he’s intimidated himself. He’s very much like a long-away tossed dog, he’s been let down before so he barks at whoever tries to show in affection or companionship in fear that it’ll happen again.
-Is it hard to write as Ambrose compared to say, Robbie and Utkin?
God, yes. He’s not hard to write for, but he’s hard to write well. I really struggle and therefore have to put a lot of effort into making a post with him that I feel happy with. Also he’s more of a loner so I have to be on my own more which is something new for me.
-Do you feel that Ambrose could only work in Kingdom Hearts? Or do you think he is a character you could adapt to any universe?
Not at all, I actually know next to nothing about Kingdom Hearts and know even less about Final Fantasy. I could easily plug Ambrose into NHA or a Tekken RP or something, maybe even Avatar. His history is easier then the others to play around with.
-Was the attack on Twilight Town that jetted him into this adventure something Ambrose is thankful for or does he curse his luck for getting caught up in it? Why?
He hates it, he’s from Neverland which is the same thing as London and they know next to nothing about magic besides the kids so he’s not big on all that fancy Merlin goals or world being destroyed crap. The world never cared about him so there’s no way he’s crying a river over the world, you know? To him this is something otherworldly and is just out of his territory that said for some reason, unknown to him at this time, he keeps following them on these wacky adventures.
-Has Ambrose been tempted to stay on any of the planets and start a new life?
Yeah, he has, he would have stayed in Twilight Town. Money was steady, jobs came easy, but his job isn’t a steady one and he’s (more then once) had to leave planets to avoid being hunted (by cops or other mafia members… and his father). He just needs to find his center and wherever that is, but even then Ambrose is someone who just feels the urge to move whenever he can.
-What do you think holds Ambrose back from his goals in life?
Fear of being around people, being close to them, anything that involves him being steady with a same group of people however his true dream is to become powerful and rich on his own, and he’s constantly destroying himself by thinking that to become powerful he’ll have to toss away people. The thing he believes he needs to succeed is what actually holds him back.
-What are his goals in life?
Very… selfish things lol. He wants money, and power and women. However, in the end, I think in some ways he just wants this things because he thinks those are the keys to acceptance.
-What is the biggest reason he is who he is today?
People, his family, specifically his father. His family life, even before he was kicked out of his last school was always rough.
-What is Ambrose's greatest fear?
To remain unaccepted by those around him, that and if he comes to an end at one point where he would realize that his self-exile was for naught.
-The cast of Kingdom Hearts makes a huge band that is extremely popular. Ambrose plays what instrument? Who would be in his band and what instrument would they play? It can be as many people from the rp as you want and it can be any genre.
Hmm, I think Ambrose strikes me as more of a singer then anything, without any real instrument to call his own. He’s been a character that is always growling, his voice is kind of gravely and he’s just a pretty moody dude so I think that really works for him. In terms of vocal stylings , I would cast him more with a Damon Albarn or Thom Yorke voice, he is from London so he’d have that kind of gritty, alternative grungy deal. This of him singing like You by Radiohead or for Albarn Ambrose think more of his Blur workings then anything from the more mellow Gorillaz structures. All that said, yeah his band would definitely be Brit-Grunge-Rough Edge-Alt, maybe through in some Low-Fi Math whenever they feel like getting pretty with it you know?
In his band… Danny, defiantly Danny. I’m taking this questions from the more Alternate Universe sense of course, and if so I can see Danny playing guitar and they kind of butt heads a lot in the creative process and on stage where they both want their spotlight but in the end they’re the ones who started the band so I think there is some friendship there. On Drums I would put Lucky from NHA in that role, she’s kind of fluid and easy going in her motions and that’s the same way you have to approach drumming and she’s also a pot head so that’s a requirement for a Rock Band’s drummer hahaha (she’d also take all the excess Roadies into the back for some play time lol). For Bass, that’d be Fraulein Dita’s position, because you always need that feminine voice (something a little lighter, while I always imagine Lucky having a little heavier sultry sound to hers) and the Bassist is always the actual crazy one anyways lol. Finally! For Keyboards, I think I would put either Chloe, just because I think the keyboardist is always the one that’s a little more serious, put together and goal oriented, and she’s just got the class of a keyboardist.
