30 Days Fanfiction Meme
3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
hoooooo boy. Maybe I shouldn't have listed every little thing? For a lot of these it's going to be 'favorite character' just because I haven't written enough in the fandom. ^^;
Skies of Arcadia- Belleza and Enrique, for ANGST POTENTIAL. Also, Enrique's relationships with the main trio (Vyse, Aika, Fina) are...charming!
Dead or Alive/Ninja Gaiden- Ryu Hayabusa and Ein/Hayate, because they are sexy ninja boys, and DoA/NG's ninja clan storyline is like the bloodiest soap-opera ever, so there's lots of angst and slash and overwrought drama. It's a fun world to play in.
Soulcalibur- Raphael (oh surprise, surprise). I'm still a little bit annoyed by the decision to make him into a vampire-thing, but the more I poke at the subject the more I find it enjoyable and creepy, SO.but turning him into an incubus would have been more fun Amy and Siegfried are fun to work with, too...lots of internal conflict to mine there.
Left 4 Dead- Ohhh, tough one. Sweet Peanut is the most fun I've had writing a fic ever, buuuut I wouldn't say Nick is my favorite character to write. Ellis is fun, Louis is fun; I have some stuff I haven't posted about Rochelle and I do like writing her as an observant, reporter-type. HMMM. I think I might go with Ellis as a fave, then Louis - Ellis' voice is easy to pin down but it takes some care to keep him from becoming a parody of himself. Even Valve dropped the ball there (I'm looking at you, Passing campaign). So fun without being particularly difficult. Louis is more subdued and less crazy, and I think keeping him in character and interesting is harder.
Ghost in the Shell- Motoko's really the only character I care about. She's by far the best character to use to explore the possibilities in the Ghost in the Shell world - I guess Batou would work as well, but Motoko has a more appealing personality to write, I think. Also all of her bodies are hot (save the little boy one, okay. and her child body.)
Yuugioh- Uhhhh. I like Yuugi and Ryou Bakura - the sweet and adorable 'personalities,' not their yamis or other selves or whatever fanon term is least controversial and stupid sounding nowadays.
Final Fantasy 4/6/7/9/13- TERRA BRANDFORD FOREVER!!! uh I like writing Vanille as well.
Dead Rising 2- Chuck Greene is really the only interesting character. Leon Bell is mildly amusing as a foil/fanboy that wants to get in Chuck's pants.
Resident Evil- Sheva and Leon seem to be the easiest to write, although in Leon's case I kind of have to decide whether to go with his RE4 characterization or Degeneration characterization. Degeneration!Leon is pretty boring though so it's usually RE4!Leon. And I like writing about Chris, but not from his point of view, so much.
Resonance of Fate- Zephyr and Leanne. I actually haven't tried to write anything about Vashyron directly despite his awesomeness.
