Obviously PSO2/NGS is my current hyperfixation but I can also wordvomit about characters from the following:

- Original Phantasy Star series (okay, not III. but the others are fine)
- Overwatch
- Most Final Fantasy games up to the FFXIII trilogy
- Persona 3 through 5
- Resident Evil
- Soulcalibur
- Blazblue
- Revolutionary Girl Utena
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica

ps lutz hehe

How I feel about this character: I like him a lot! I am always a sucker for androgynous beautiful men with a touch of arrogance and irreverence heheh.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I don't really have any ships in PS1 tbh

My non-romantic OTP for this character: I've always liked his relationship with Alis, especially in some of the spin-off post-game material where Lutz is Alis' advisor but they come across as close friends :)

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't really know what would count as an unpopular opinion...I guess I prefer the name "Noah" to "Lutz."

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: There's an old interview floating around with the PS1 devs where Rieko Kodama mentions that they considered having Lutz's gender be determined by the player, and that's why his appearance is deliberately ambiguous...it would have been nice if Lutz were canonically nonbinary.

my OTP: don't have one ^^;;;

my cross over ship: not much of a cross over person, especially when it comes to shipping, but thinking about how Lutz would react to either Thray (PSIV) or the PSO2 Omega Lutz could be interesting lol

a headcanon fact: Lutz could have stayed alive indefinitely through cold sleep, but after seeing what happens to Eusis/Rolf & co. at the end of PSII is so painful that he realizes he doesn't want to live through seeing a tragedy of that magnitude again, and that's when he devises the Telepathy Ball.

Zenyatta from Overwatch!

[terabient]

How I feel about this character: He's pretty great!

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Lucio, Ramattra....Genji I guess but I'm not a fan of Genji so it's more "there's a lot of fanfic/art of these two so I've grown to like very specific portrayals of it."

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Symmetra. The interactions they have in-game are really interesting and I feel like Zenyatta is the sort of person who would encourage her to question her loyalty to Vishkar in a subtle way which is cool.

My unpopular opinion about this character: uhhh not being super into Genji/Zen? lol. Uhh I also think Zenyatta's pacifist views are not absolute, like--I think he's quite radical and willing to go pretty far down the violence route if that would secure the Omnic's safety, he just knows that violence right now is counter-productive

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Uhhh I hope he gets involved or personally commits some kind of corporate sabotage or smth. Something not-actually-bad but perceived as bad by people who previously supported the Shambali monastery Omnics. Some anti-Vishkar thing would be great since Symmetra has great respect for Zen.

my OTP: I have a real fondness for Lucio/Zen. I do not know if it's still around but there's a great little fic where Lucio hooks up Zenyatta to his audio equipment and forces multiple robo-orgasms out of him and I've never forgotten it, lol. but also! Lucio is very hyperactive, almost overwhelming in his enthusiasm while Zen is calm to an almost unsettling degree. The contrast makes it very fun to imagine them together.

my cross over ship: i don't have these

a headcanon fact: Vishkar's light and sound technologies affect Zenyatta in a physical way, inducing powerful synesthesia and orgasmic sensations. He likes to explore this by modifying Vishkar's consumer products into fancy Omnic-only sex toys, a hobby he doesn't share with the other Omnics at the Shambali monastery--though he has (after many years) shared his "discoveries" with Genji, and maybe the Vishkar-connected characters. (Symmetra wouldn't approve, but Lucio and Lifeweaver would)

Is Zen's pacifism not being absolute an unpopular opinion? Like I know game mechanics aren't one to one with the story all the time but it seems like it would be real weird to make a staunch pacifist playable in an FPS at all. "Generally opposed to violence but willing to use it if no other option exists" seems like the most reasonable interpreation of Zen to me.

I love the weird omnic sex toy headcanon! That's so much fun. I haven't kept up with the OW storyline but Lifeweaver seems like a really good character for this actually.

i...might look up that zen/lucio fic. for reasons.

[terabient]

It's really only an opinion I've heard on twitter, which is...well, twitter. like people who seemed very distressed at the very suggestion that Zenyatta might be more than soothing vibes or whatever. so only unpopular amongst Twitter power users i guess? lol

Lifeweaver strikes me as a character who would be moved to joyous tears at seeing his inventions used as sex toys, honestly.

I know there's a Lucio/Genji fic that uses the same auditory orgasm idea too...I think they're both on AO3 but Tumblr is also a possibility. Man i should've saved some of the rarepair fic from pre-pornban Tumblr... ;_;

[ghoulmouse]

Hhghfjgh well, I AM a big Genji/Zenyatta fan and quite frankly a lot of the ship stuff kinda treats Zenyatta like a Himalayan salt lamp you can fuck. So yeah, I'm not surprised twitter just wants him to be Good Vibes Only. IDK there are a lot of characters in OW I think are really interesting (Lucio, Zenyatta, Roadhog to name a few) that really get shoved to the side in fanwork.

Does Tumblr also ban explicit text? I...kinda thought that was still okay. Not that I really use Tumblr anymore anyway but like, the principle of the thing.

Myau

[terabient]

Sorry for taking so long to respond... ^^

How I feel about this character: HMMM...He might be my favorite character from PS1! I played the original games in reverse order and I was so taken by the Musk Cat Cave in PSIV that I was really excited to play one in PSI...and I LOST IT when I found out the whole Alshline quest comes down to Myau not being able to open a bottle. („ಡωಡ„)

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I think he might have a little crush on Alis, similar to the way Morgana has a crush on Anne in Persona 5. Just instantly bowled over by her presence on meeting her.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: His devotion to Odin is really sweet and a large reason why I like him so much. Odin's best bud and most trusted companion being a little cat is just too charming

My unpopular opinion about this character: Not particularly fond of the way he is portrayed, both visually and in characterization.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish we could have asked for Myau's opinions on the party in PSIV. He just kinda gives you the Silver Tusk and that's it. :(

my OTP: Myau/people who can open bottles for him

~~my cross over ship:~~

a headcanon fact: I don't remember if it's fanon or canon that Newmans like Nei and Rika have musk cat genes, but regardless I like to think that's true and because of that, Myau has an instant fondness/connection to Rika when they meet in PSIV.

[tehexile]

Thanks for the reply! A playable kitty is the one of the many things I adore about OG PS.

Myau was a powerful mage. He could talk telepathically, make force barriers and heal almost all wounds. You'd think he could manage opening a bottle. Force barrier just under the lid. There, done.
