1. Make a post listing the characters you play here and, optionally, characters you play at other games too
2. People ask you questions about your characters
3. You respond; pretty simple huh?

This game:
1. Ai Tanabe

2. Georgia Mason

(I can do others, too, if anyone is interested as to who I play.)

So, what's the deal with Haruhi? In other words, do you have a favorite theory about why she can do what she can do, or do you just go with 'don't need to explain her'*?

* Disclaimer: I'm still on the official novel and manga translations, so if we ever get anything other than Itsuki, Mikuru and Yuki's somewhat-conflicting theories, I don't know it.

[eternal-dolly.livejournal.com]

Man, I could write a long essay on this but I'll be brief. Personally, I think Yuki's theory is the closest to fully explaining what Haruhi is able to do.

I base this mostly on the fact that Yuki was able to steal a part of Haruhi's power during the disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya shows she at least partly understands how Haruhi's powers work. Also for that fact the Itsuki and Mikuru seem to largely playing with Kyon, while Yuki at least seems honest with what she says.

As a side note, Yuki is also my favorite character in the series so I may be a bit biased~

I want to know more about Georgia, I find her interesting. ^-^

and I'm interested in who else you play

[eternal-dolly.livejournal.com]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on Cain and Riffael's relationships~.

[loyal-judas.livejournal.com]

Oh dear...ok, well, ignoring my fangirly side, I believe They were more then just friends and they both knew it, but because of their society's pressures, they never acted on it. Riff wouldn't want to jepordize Cain like that and Cain, in my mind, is more bi-leaning towards women, so he wouldn't necessarily know how to act anyway.

....I've had too much time to think about this.

[eternal-dolly.livejournal.com]

Awww, that is pretty sad... I do agree they'd make a good couple though.

[worm-dancer.livejournal.com]

You know my people:

Sheeana
Sah'ot
Sajit
Akkakias

on and off station headcanon are both cool

[loyal-judas.livejournal.com]

XD I agree completely. They're one of my two Godchild OTPs.

Tess and Roxie.

Re: Nitori Kawashiro

[worm-dancer.livejournal.com]

Touhous are mostly headcanon so...

Who's better at chess between her and Momiji?

How often does she despair of the station ever being made halfway functional?

Does she grow uncomfortable if away from bodies of fresh water for a long time?

[worm-dancer.livejournal.com]

And for anyone else, my character list (http://fightingbishie.livejournal.com/7850.html#cutid1)

Re: Nitori Kawashiro

[not-a-baldspot.livejournal.com]

sdfkjl I have ridiculous amounts of headcanon trivia on all the characters I play BUT TOUHOUS ESPECIALLY.


Momiji, because she has like a million more years of experience with these things and is intelligent enough that only the kappa offer any kind of challenge to her in canon. BUT NITORI IS SUCCESSFUL almost-maybe a third of the time. Almost.

Nitori is a pretty patient creature! ...but she still does occasionally headdesk because it's OMGSPACE it should be technologically awesome and mind blowing not duct taped together. She's torn between EXPLORATORY SCIENCE and repairing the station because its current state makes her fingers itch something horrible.

She does. In my headcanon kappa magic only works with water around and as an aquatic creature not having a water source around beyond that just makes her twitchy. In canon she says that she doesn't want to leave the water even though there's ICE ON IT (so cold probably doesn't bother them much). She carries a water bottle around with her for just this reason, but Nitori's not really subconsciously at ease until she at least has a puddle to splash in.

THEY'RE KIND OF LIKE WATERBENDERS but further down the evolutionary line. Except the kappa probably hopped out of the water to the land rather than the other way around.

This is everyone, or everyone recent

I shall have to bother you later about Utena -- I'm rewatching it now with our anime club and realizing how much the original last arc passed over my head*. So not much of intelligent conversations here.

* This may be because on my first watch-through, we watched most of it in one sitting, and by the time it ended, it was rather late at night. And afterward (and kind of during), there was an argument about whether Anthy was a sympathetic character or not.

[truthaftertheend]

Yuki does seem to be the most straightforward with Kyon, though Mikuru at least comes off as somewhat conflicted about her own role in things.

Yuki also seems to be the most directly comfortable with the structure of reality for that matter. Mikuru's powers mostly seem dependent on her bosses back home -- she can time-travel only when needed, and half of that is handled by her older self. Itsuki has some power on his own, but he admits its limited mostly to tricks in closed spaces.

(My inner scientist wonders how much of that is swayed by each of their POVs -- that more mystical humans, technological humans and the Data Overmind all approach the study of the universe in different ways, so have a different framework to attach Haruhi in.)

everything

What makes her tick? what motivates her to do what she does, and I also wanna know more about her sickness. *overly curious*

[loyal-judas.livejournal.com]

/Super impressed

Oooh, peter, huh? We've got almost all the marauders at Vatheon 'cept him. ^-^

[eternal-dolly.livejournal.com]

I love the Haruhi series for having such a complex framework behind the silliness of most of the story. On the subject of Mikuru, however, I believe that she plays up the whole cute and innocent part of her personality to sway Kyon to her cause. Not that there is much to support that series though~.
