- Comment with "Hit me!"
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you.
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people.

► If you were asked to cosplay as a female anime/manga/game character for an entire con, which one(s) would you be okay with?

I actually sorta look like Miyako from Pani Poni Dash already, just, a guy, obviously. So she'd be something I could manage that wouldn't look completely off.

I wouldn't be adverse to cosplaying as any female character, really, as long as I looked halfway decent as her. I'd welcome being able to understand what girls go through when it comes to stuff like high heels and things like that, just to relate better. I'm sure no matter what, I'd have some interesting new perspectives by the end of the con.

► If you and Krile could have your honeymoon in any of the video game worlds, which one would it be in?

Oh, this is a tough one because there are so many. It's a hard choice between a world where nothing bad would happen during the honeymoon and one where it'd be exciting enough. Maybe something like... going through a Pokemon game together? Lots of fun, cute adventures without any real risk involved. ~~And plenty of stops at Pokemon Centers~~

► What was the first video game you remember ever playing in your tiny Slime days?

I remember seeing arcade games like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man when my parents would take me to places that had them (pizza places, back then, often did) and so I probably played something like that first. But in terms of the first game I really remember playing, it was the original Super Mario Brothers on the NES. I got that for my birthday that year, and a couple of days later on Christmas we got R.C. Pro-Am to go along with it.

► Do you speak a foreign language? If not, which language would you want to pick up first if you could?

Yeah, my major was Spanish and my minor was Japanese in college, so I can speak a bit of both (Spanish MUCH more than Japanese). Ideally I'd like to get a job at some point that used one or the other (or both), but I enjoy keeping up with my skills at the moment, at least. I really wish my Japanese was better, though.

Other than that, languages like Arabic, German, and Chinese compete for the spot of "next on the list" in my brain.

► I will ask everyone this question: What's your favorite Pokémon of each generation?

Okay this is hard as hell for me, so I promise I'll try to limit it to at least three of each gen. My love cannot be contained...

1st gen: Probably Jolteon overall, although I'm a big fan of my Charmander starter and its evolutions.

2nd gen: Xatu, Octillery, Typhlosion... so many good ones in Johto <3

3rd gen: Um, Numel and Breloom... also Skitty because of Krile.

4th gen: BUIZEL, BABY. It's my favorite Pokemon of them all. Easy one.

5th gen: Dammit, this is hard. I love Deerling, Dewott, and Emolga, among about 50 others.

I have seen some men cosplaying as female characters that could pull it off better than most actual women could, certainly!

Hit me. :D

That seems to be rare, but it certainly is impressive when it happens! Usually I see girls cosplaying as bishounen, which... honestly, is much closer to looking like a girl to begin with.

►Okay so on the subject, a character you'd love to cosplay as, assuming someone made a really good-looking outfit for you?

►Pick a battle theme from an RPG, which one would you want blasting through invisible surroundsound speakers if you got into a fight?

►Do you have a favorite stuffed animal or two still sitting around your room? Or any relics from your childhood?

►Favorite Star Ocean game/character/pairing (if any)/etc? Free Star Ocean space on the bingo board, here :D

►PONIES????????? (I will ask everyone about MLP:FiM)

1. Ooh, that's tough. I've always liked Elly from Xenogears' Gebler uniform. Needlessly complex, good colour scheme (not too garish and obnoxiously coloured), and I'd get to wear a long redheaded wig. Not super revealing either. ;) I lack the confidence to pull off some other anime/game characters' battle bikinis, lol.

2. Going to be unoriginal and say "Man with a Machine Gun." (Laguna's battle theme from FF8.) There's probably better if I really thought about it but that one definitely comes to mind.

3. I have a stuffed penguin named (wait for it...) Pengy that I have had since my birth. And I still have some favourite games and books from my childhood, of course. But not much in total. Some girls have their whole bed covered in stuffed animals but I've never seen the point of that.

4. Oh damn, that's hard. D: I somehow accidentally got a Leon/Opera ending once, that was pretty far-fetched, but fun. I suppose I'd have to say I like Bowman/Rena and Dias/Rena. Honestly I just like Rena too. She has a fun character/clothing design, I have many ancient fanarts of her from ten years ago when I was just starting to draw. :P

Favorite SO is definitely 2. I had played a few hours of a SO1 ROM with a poor fan translation but I have to admit that I became frustrated and gave up. Now that it's remade for the PSP using SO2's graphics and engine, I'm liking it a lot more. 3 was alright, and I really liked 4's battle system and gameplay but hated most of the characters. 2 is the only one I can constantly replay though.

5. YES. PONIES. I am finally caught up on the episodes as of this evening. The show occasionally goes in a weird direction that would be really disconcerting if it weren't about such cute little animals. (Pinky Pie's nervous breakdown? That's scary shit right there.) But that just makes it even better. I am aching to draw some of the characters but have too much paid work still on my plate to justify taking the time to do so. :/

Oh, and I chose to reply here because I don't post to my LJ anymore. ^-^'

Oh, no worries! As long as you answer in some form you're off the hook >:3

I've always loved Elly's look. It's very classic, yet undeniably great-looking. I think it's also much more interesting and better-looking than some generic battle bikini, myself!

I always seem to get the Leon/Opera ending when I recruit them! Honestly, getting adopted by Opera and living in some futuristic place would be a pretty awesome thing. I'm a bit jealous.

Rena's undeniably great. I never understood why the official art gave her that sword, though =p

And yeah, SO2 is the eternally best one, even though I do like them all in one capacity or another. I would love to play a translated version of Blue Sphere one of these days, just to be able to play with the SO2 crew in a new game and all.

I'd love to see your pony drawings, whenever you'd get the chance! Where would you post 'em? And yeah, the mixture of disturbing and cute is probably why the show is so entertaining to me, among other reasons xD

I remember drooling over the Blue Sphere character designs and was so sad to learn we would never get to play it. :/ I don't suppose your Japanese is good enough for you to play it yourself though, untranslated?

It's mostly furry nonsense, I'm afraid. Not your bag, I'm sure. :P http://leahtaur.deviantart.com/
I actually really enjoy drawing game/anime fanart and just humans in general but furry art is what I am invariably commissioned to do!

You are making me want to start yet another SO2 file, damn you. I just wrecked my perfect Suikoden 2 file by letting Nanami die and then saving over it because I forgot that wasn't supposed to happen. ;_;

I can struggle through some Japanese games, depending on the complexity. It's all a matter of how much slang/irregular speech they decide to throw in, among other things. Truthfully, it's just hard to enjoy a game when you have to work so hard to read it =p I think some group's partway through a translation, anyway.

Hey, you'd be surprised at my varied tastes! Your art is freaking amazing, by the way. I mean, damn. Now I really want to see what you can do with our beloved ponies <3

Haha, oops, did I do that? Maybe you can use an unusual combination of characters or try some kind of challenge to make it worthwhile? And ouch, I hate messing up saves I've worked hard on! I thought you just had to get all 108 stars for everything to work out okay...? I never did finish my perfect Suikoden II save, got lost searching for the Mukumukus and I was never seen again xD

My sister also has a few years of Japanese under her belt but said something similar; having to actively figure out text while trying to have fun doesn't work out so well. I'll have to keep an eye out for the translation, thanks for letting me know!

Oh, thank you. :) The ponies are so simple, maybe I can squeeze some art in here and there anyway.

No no, it wasn't you, I just meant that I messed up my file the other day. I'm so close I might as well finish, I was just hoping to port over my "good" save to Suikoden 3, which I have also never finished... I did get all 108 stars but then I allowed Nanami to die (you're supposed to call out to her, evidently) and now I'm at 107. Boohoo.

I'm looking forward to our group gaming session. :) About how many people have expressed interest? Half a dozen or so? Should be fun!

Glad to know about the Nanami thing, I'll have to keep that in mind whenever I pick the game back up again. Darn you Suikoden and your highly specific ways of getting a perfect game...!

And yeah, we've got a little group so far, but once I officially make the community here (soonish), I'll put the word out and we might get a few more ;D It's gonna be fun times, for sure~

(That was me who started watching you on Deviantart, by the way. The little yellow kitty. Yeah, that's me)
