Stealing from Hino:

You ask me a question about my characters, I answer and ask you one about yours in return, we keep going in that pattern until one of us can't think of any questions anymore, etc.

We really should get around to that.

Erland likes a certain demureness, and tends to seek people who are lonely and maybe a bit awkward. It's hard to really describe it, since Erland has a pretty decent variety of girls and they don't especially match this format. Though, for convenience's sake Erland prefers girls who, while able to stand up to him if necessary, will usually default to what he says to do. He likes being the center of attention that way, I guess. Also preferably Bi. You know, for cohesion's sake.

...Why is Gwen angry all the time, anyway?

[triade_oscura]

We should.

... So is kind of an older type of guy. He likes girls and heavily respects them, but expects a point of "Listen to what I'm saying and conform". Hrm.

Gwen's angry because despite her incredibly bitchy lowbrow attitude, she's a genius. A very respectable genius in the sense she's extremely smart, things come quite naturally and easy to her. Basically she's the girl who aces the tests, the school run meet, and a talented cook. Everything is sublimely easy to her.

Which is why she's so fucking mad: She's bored to the point she's murderously angry. She can't stand things being so dull and easy and pointless. That she's a rage driven bitch.

For all Erland says about trying to be equal, he still has an ego to him, and for certain things he really wants his way. I think one issue with him wanting to tear things up is that he doesn't feel respected, which makes him think he's been too soft, which transitions to 'gotta wreck something up'.

...not that you asked a question, but thought I'd clarify and then babbled.

[triade_oscura]

... Why doesn't he feel respected?

What kind of sound does Yuzuki look for in music?

[pureplainpatron]

It's mostly the little things, a general sense that people think they could take him if they wanted, and the kind of treatment that comes with that mentality. Also, Akuroou taking the ring didn't help.

Incidentally, I think I have a head-canon for what happened with all that: The ring, trying to get Akuroou good and riled up, ended up abusing his body too much. It likely caused his various glands to produce more adrenaline and testosterone than they could support, and they eventually shut down, so when Akuroou felt a loss, he literally had nothing in him for a second wind. The ring, frustrated and unable to get any response from him anymore, just tried to lash out.


Yuzuki though... I think she alternates between very classical 'zen' music which she uses for meditation, and probably a rock or even rap to 'pump up' with. I could see grunge/rap being her general preference.


Do any of your characters have a deep regret?

[bdsm_kouji]

Not beating Jinn in the R-Genex tournament and not helping better with that professor lady during the plot that causes me physical pain to even mention. Not deep, but it's a thing.

[bibeakerbabe]

Not saving Priti.

[blackrthanblack]

Not being good enough to be a mother to her child in her own mind. Might be post partem depression or just the fact Shiyoko's bonkers.

[by_the_pricking]

Not saving Asmodeus' soul.

[daredevildame]

Not getting to know Jinn better than their bitter antagonism.

[greyerthanabyss]

Not making up with her mother or grandmother.

[isdragonlady]

Killing her sisters, not saving her dragons, not being for Isabel. She's an emotional trainwreck.

[mynameis_legion]

Not telling Sekuta he went on vacation. Not helping Kanna more. Not stopping Noriko's godhood. And if he knew, not stopping Suzume's earth murders.

[suzakuformation]

The nastier parts of herself: Not killing Shiroko
The better parts of herself: Not getting to enjoy the rest of her childhood.

[thefifthmonarch]

Not getting to grow up ever and be an eternally bratty little girl.

[whitrthanwhite]

Not making friends with Isabel or Jean at all. Also. Not getting perfect grades for her graduation finals and slacking.

Actually she wants to go back in time and fix that. Literally. Seriously. It's probably one of her few berserk buttons.

[thefifthmonarch]

What decrees would Erland make as an evil overlord?

[pureplainpatron]

I think Erland would try and make a fairly peaceful (if police-state-ish) country, which is basically a constitutional monarchy, if the monarch could be the center of a religion. He'd rather delegate to various layers of committees which set rules for regions, then have a top level committee which handles standardizing the regions for the sake of trade and convenience. He'd still have the ability to make or overturn laws as he saw fit, but he'd really rather people take care of themselves. It'd be a very 'tough love' sort of country, but with fallbacks for people who really just hit hard times.

Also, anything that could be considered 'gangsta' would be illegal, and rape would potentially be dealt with via the death penalty, with harsh penalties for those who try and manipulate rape laws for their own good.


...really, it's probably better if Erland doesn't become an actual overlord.


Which of your characters would become Overlords if given the chance?

[blackrthanblack]

Shiroko. Noriko. Suzume. Shiyoko. Kouji. Niyo. Onee.

[blackrthanblack]

What does Erland like least about Vidya or does he think she's pretty much perfect?

[pureplainpatron]

Hmm. I think Erland enjoyed when Vidya was more shy and a bit tsun. He really enjoys teasing and coaxing into embarrassing things. Also he has a lot of trouble following Vidya's thought pattern; most of it seems to come out of left field to him. Of course, that means she stays interesting, at least, but it disorients him something fierce.

...I'm curious how Niyo and Shiyoko would be as overlords.

[isdragonlady]

Niyo would be a very dark bitter soul, in a very dark bitter land. Not very good, and likely to fall into darkness and evil, and become increasingly twisted.

Shiyoko meanwhile would be a massive goofball. It's Shiyoko. She'd be a ham.

What's so baffling about Vidya's train of thought?

[pureplainpatron]

...well, Shiyoko and Erland would at least play off each other well, won't they?

Honestly, I just can't follow it. I can't find a thread of logic that connects the things she likes together. I suppose it's partly my failing, but it just seems like she comes up with the most oddball things that you wouldn't expect with her (like... wombat, pachinko, various odd things she mentions...).

Hmm... oh, right, what do Erland's girls dislike about him?

[greyerthanabyss]

Vidya? The fact he's much. More adul. It's a bit off putting and she preferred him with the smugness he used to have.

Shiyoko is worried he's going to be too controlling. She doesn't mind compromising, but she's afraid of being a bird in a cage, and that Erland's going to turn out to be a nastier husband than she wanted.

(This is going to come up in her sessions with Shikou's therapist.)

What do your people usually dream about?

[pureplainpatron]

She's probably glad that he's getting a bit of the old smugness back, then.

...and sadly, Shiyoko does have a bit of a point there. Very protective.


Hmm. Honestly, I can't think of much. Erland, being Erland, doesn't really dream so much as let his bodies dream, with a loose connection to his higher consciousness.

Yuzuki probably dreams about fighting, or occasionally about cuddling with a cute smart girl (E.g. Franny or Bright)

Auun would dream about eating or chasing things.

Ayukawa dreams normal woman dreams, sometimes sexy, sometimes scary, sometimes helpless feeling.

Kabayama likely has very lonely dreams, like being alone in a ghost town or his home or the like. Poor guy.

Theresa has full out nightmares more often than she'd admit. Whatever drove her to that state left a deep scar on her subconcious.

Eero dreams normal dreams. Involving monsters. Scary and sexy. Sometimes at the same time. He tends to wake up confused and bothered, in more than one way.


In what way do Erland's girls feel he's the most controlling? What do they wish he'd back off about?
