Derick the Swordmaster of Doom

Gregor the Tanky Stab-Sentinel

[Blade Master Model 42]

I wouldn't want to be Lesan. I do his crap in real life enough, I have no idea why I decided to do it in a game. No wait, I remember now, I wanted to explore the problem more so I could deal with it for real. Still, really wouldn't want to be him.

Valor is alright, but he's sort of flat? And I don't think I'd really want to be a mercenary. I can't just kill people for no reason but money.

Now that I think about it more, Sheila has her share of troubles also. She's more at ease socially than me, but she is more guarded with her heart than I personally care to be. Not to mention the whole 'lets not think about all that piracy' thing. Still probably my top choice.

At least for now. Shotrin (pronounced Show-Trin, btw) may become the one I most want to be. The drive and openness to be able to speak his mind to anyone, especially women? Sign me up.

[Sirus]

Hrmmm. That's a tough one and I have work to do, so I'll revisit this topic later.

[Gamerboy4life]

Since Seyena's my first and, well, only character so far, she's probably the one I'd have to emphasize with.

But not much. She's not a great character.

[SeriousConcentrate]

You can count ones not in yet based on how you want to play them. Blade is doing that with Shotrin, after all.

I like Olison, he'd be an awesome guy in my own mind, but I wouldn't want to be him. His skills are largely limited to combat and tactics, and really has to use those skills just to stay alive. He's also been rather flat in his static reliance on those skills in his everyday life, hasn't taken the opportunity to really change (not that he truly needs to in my opinion).

Alec is like my antithesis, open, enthusiastic, and a compulsive liar. That and he's pretty much had to lower himself to conning and thievery just to stay fed. Though he does have a caring and relatively wealthy family, that's a plus. I wouldn't want to be him, but hell if he isn't fun to write for.

Ceil is turning out way too close to Olison for my taste, and yet I can't really think of anything impacting enough that would really splinter them apart. Would not be for the same reasons as Olison.

Really, at the end of the day, I'd probably be Hix. Quiet, skilled, no-one really expects him to take charge of things and no-one really presses on him for anything. I also imagine him as a librarian in his off-time. The only real downside I see to him is his arrogance.

[Powder Miner]

Alex is way2angst and even though he isn't anymore, he still gets fried way too much, Efa has a bad backstory and is constantly keeping vigil on how she acts around people. I wouldn't want to be either of them.

I'd actually be totally cool with being Jago, since aside from claustrophobia, he has less long-term angst and a fun personality.
Torben constantly crews up longterm things, but I'd be cool with being him.
I'd also be cool with bieng Nathara Meless, and I'm ambivalent on being Sophie.

Question: on the process of 'being' them, do we gain their ability/skills of sorts? Because I admittedly can't rhyme on a moment's notice to save my life in person. And that involves about half of the characters I've played.

I guess basically 'mind in their body' or 'we become them in the sense they're still them but we're them' kinda way.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Answer both ways? I'm personally assuming that I would still have my mind/memories, but just be in their bodies living their life. Part of why Chris gets a huge no. He's done a lot of bad things and I don't want it to bite me in the ass since technically 'I' didn't do it.

Presumably, this is a scenario where we are forced to choose one of their lives to take over, and then we get all their memories, skills, talents, etc.

Just to clarify I'd still choose Diana with Leo being a close second either way.

[Xanmyral]

Thoughts as written linearly and only on characters that were accepted and played with in other FEFs.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Enoch: No. No no no. NO. The rhyming and magic is cool but honestly I feel he's one of the worse characters I've put forth. A bit part of the no is because [REDACTED] and his mild-to-serious sociopathic mindset is such a jar to my own its painful at times. Never ever.

Rhett: Now, honestly, he'd be fun. Flyting huge guy with alcoholism problem who wants to be the best damn axeman-storyteller around through crazy-probably-fake monastery training. I like telling stories and this guy is all about that. I'm not a fan of his alcoholism, but compared to the others this is pretty minor and can lead to humorous situations. I also like his 'look at life humorously' outlook. If I wanted to have fun, this would be the guy.

Salvatore: I like his adherence to trying to do what's right, but I honestly don't think I could do what he did in his backstory. He was not a nice dude. At all. I like redemption arcs (although his was a strange one in game) and I like the BRIMSTONE AND HELLFIRE because I enjoy hamming it up, but I think the past would probably be a breaker for me. Flying is cool, as are wyverns, but I'm Valor levels of utterly terrified of heights. If I lost my fear of heights and got over the backstory, he'd beat Rhett.

Fezz: He's the character I'm most similar to, but in all honesty that's not saying much. I like learning things but I'm utterly rubbish at history. Pretty much all of history. The magic is cool and I find his [REDACTED] funny and interesting, but I'm not a fan of how I did the 'wrath.' I'd probably act the same as him when dealing with fighting though, that is to say horror and revulsion. If I wanted to be normal, this would be the one.

So I guess, all in all, I guess I'd be Rhett. Sal comes second with Fezz being a close third, and Enoch being a so far back you can't really see him.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Hmm. Actually, yeah, come to think of it I prefer Blade's interpretation that I ninja'd.

So in counts we have one favoring NoH, one favoring FEF1, one favoring TDG, and one favoring TLD.

Oh, yeah, and Hasp: when you see this, if you want to answer, you can assume your 'ally' NPCs in FEF1 and 2 count as your characters. So, say, Anja would count, while Ernest would not.

[Powder Miner]

I most prefer NoH though, Jago would seem really fun to be >.>

[SeriousConcentrate]

Oh, right. I remembered you posted but not which one you said. @_@ Sorry about that, my memory is crap. So make that two for NoH. ^^^

I haven't had a chance to build Miguel well enough to say whether I would want to be in his shoes.

There is a lot in his backstory that has gone unsaid, mostly because he hasn't appeared yet. But I admire him for his thirst of adventure, and a willingness to finally act to move himself towards something, even if it took him an inordinate amount of time. This quest is his swan song; he's already lived his life, but now he is committing himself to not taking the final act lying down. There is something to admire there; a passion, a precious fire and zeal for life.

I hope I get to convey this idea faithfully.
