THE QUESTIONS MEME

A first big 'n successful round of apps has concluded and the game is getting off to a roll - since there are always brains to be picked and new pals and acquaintances to be made, how's about we all play a little getting-to-know-you game?

HOW TO PLAY:
• Leave a comment below with your name and the characters who you play.
• Respond to others' comments with questions - they can be about their characters, their current in-game plans or things they'd like to play, their CR, RP in general, their canons and fandoms, or most anything else.
• Answer questions you've received! Keep it short or TL;DR to your heart's content, depending on how much you have or are in the mood to say!
• After each answer you give, ask a question back to the person who answered you. Keep the thread of questioning up for as long as both parties are game!
• Go for it - make friends, make new plans, make anything you like!

What do you like best about playing Tarrlok?

[bloodisthicker]

HM I have mostly played him in murdergames so far, and things have gone different in interesting ways every time! He’s only in one season of a canon so it’s pretty easy to review for him, but he’s a complex enough character that there’s a lot to unpack so I think it’s fun to play him in lots of different situations and see how his character arc turns out.

...plus even if he’s a shithead he has the potential to be better than he is and realize how badly he’s fucked up in a way that doesn’t lead to Bad End like in canon. And fuck me I am a sap who wants that!!

Anyway favorite Homunculus?

[milkisgross]

Oh man. That's a tough one for me. Most are given really excellent moments to shine, and when I think I've finally made up my mind, I see that moment for a different homunculus and end up changing my mind.

At least for right now, GreedLing's kind of popped into mind. Greed was pretty cool when you first see him in the Devil's Nest, but his relationship with Ling later is really interesting. I'm also a sucker for some really mushy stuff, and the whole thing where Ling gets Greed to realize that he wanted was a fucking friend just hits me really hard.

So, if you were a bender, which kind would you be?

[bloodisthicker]

Yeah, Greedling is a good choice. My personal fave is Wrath just because I like those foxy old men and also he's just got that really interesting complexity to him? So that's cool.

Anyway HMMmmmmmm I think Water or Air probably. Leaning a little more towards Water just because I couldn't go vegetarian... I mean I guess Airbenders are probably still cool with unfertilized eggs and cheese, but I don't think I could survive on those alone...

What is your favorite alchemy specialty?

[milkisgross]

Wrath is a very handsome homunculus and he's definitely somewhere right underneath GreedLing. I think my favorite thing about him is his wife. First, that she was the only thing that he was allowed to decide for himself in his life, and second, that apparently she slapped him when they first met because of how awkward he was around her.

I'd like to be an earthbender myself. (Toph is my girl, ok?) Water's a close second though.

This might be a boring answer, but I think I'm going to have to go with Roy's flame alchemy, though now that I think about it, Isaac's water-based alchemy from Brotherhood is pretty neat too, even if I don't like his inclusion in the story.

Who's your favorite character from The Last Airbender and/or Korra?

[bloodisthicker]

RIGHT, MRS. BRADLEY IS SO GOOD... I would fund a kickstarter for a prequel manga about those two I swear to Christ. That's the good shit man!!

I'll admit I kind of have a soft spot for Isaac because a friend plays him and like... sometimes you just need someone to dick around with a minor character and make them shine. But anyway! My fave from ATLA is Iroh, and... god is saying Tarrlok's my favorite from Legend of Korra cheating, okay I like Korra herself a lot but I think Zaheer is probably the one I have to go for. What a good antagonist.

...so like, do you have soft spots for any one-off basically filler characters? Not necessarily from FMA or ATLA/LOK, just generally.

[milkisgross]

OMG I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE HER TOO! She is secretly the toughest woman in the world for living with two homunculi.

Oh, just because I'm not a fan of Isaac doesn't mean I'm going to dislike people who do like him. To each their own. If your friend can play him with what little we're given about him, then that's pretty awesome!

I think every needs an Uncle Iroh in their lives.

Cabbage man from A:TLA will always hold a dear place in my heart. That show is so full of characters like him, some not appearing in more than a single episode, but they add so much color to the world and I absolutely love it. There's also the guy in the Aunt Wu episode who the Gaang encounters while he's dodging the playpus-bear. OH! And the earthbending kids that Katara beats up to learn about the earthbending tournament where they first meet Toph.

FMA doesn't devote as much detail to little characters like that, but there are few people that spring to mind. There's the bellhop in the hotel in Central who comes out to check on Winry when she's waiting for Al to return and you can see how much he sympathies with her. I also really like Dominic . He's one of the few people who can call Ed a flea and get away with it because he's such an intimidating-looking guy.

Now I have to ask you the same question, especially for A:TLA since that series is so full of colorful characters, but other series are fine too.

[bloodisthicker]

God she’s so good. I think she and Cabbage Man are kind of my answers for that, especially when they decided to have Cabbage Man’s son or something start up the budget motor/airship option in Legend of Korra... that was good stuff.
