Ryoga Hibiki | Ranma 1/2
Luke Triton | Professor Layton

Oh god, what would Ryoga do if he ended up seeing a Ranma?

He wouldn't know who Ranma was!

But if he ever remembered, I'm sure he'd dedicate his life to DESTROYING RANMA'S HAPPINESS. That and look like a vastly better person by comparison. If you thought Ryoga's head was big.....

Oh yeah. I almost wish we could see it, jut for the hilarity of it all.

Lord save us \o/

So why did you pick Chloe/Noir?

Edited 2017-03-15 04:03 (UTC)

Chloe is an old muse of mine that I let rest outside of a few smaller games for several years. My original choice of her had to do with wanting a villainous character that was not immediately unlikeable but capable, at least with event prompting of the types of scenes I desired.

Here, I'm wanting to explore the psychology of what she became in canon more and get into the heart of her little, personal fantasy world as it crumbles, and see if she chooses a new life, accepts her original fate or somehow rebels and defies it all as she did in Amat.

I like head games a lot deep down. Chloe's kind of a labyrinth at times, for as simple a girl as she can be.

Hehe it's been a blast tagging both your muses so far! But I remember like nothing about Ranma, so first off... least favorite puzzle! (Additionally, will be surprised if not the chocolate one.)

Thanks! Any puzzle that involved counting cats (or something similar). No matter how many goddamn times I count those cats I can never get it right on the first try. If it's the dividing up chocolate one, I actually don't really mind those.

Also the chess cat puzzles, they're the WORST.

So are there two characters that look like Ritsu, or did he just ditch the bowl cut?

I meant one that involved like... checking your keyboard?? Nothing could have prepared me for that! A hidden message or something.

The bowlcut boy is his big brother, the titular Mob of Mob Psycho 100! Ritsu's supposed to give you the initial impression of being the elder brother because of ~aura of kindness and maturity~ until you figure out he's secretly in a bad mood at all times when not in the public good boy face. Really, it becomes obvious how much of a brat he is, after the reveal it's his consistent characterization. 8')

Generally, ONE the writer/manga artist draws everyone with round faces, and he's not known for being a super pro at art, but I think he's gone a long way since he started! He writes OnePunch-Man too, with which more people are familiar.

Do you have a fav antag in the PL series? I haven't actually finished the 3DS games yet, but I don't mind spoilers! Or you could just say which game it was if you still want me to experience the whole "who is it!"

Let's see, there's Don Paolo, Descole... When it comes to the antagonist I love to hate, the Masked Gentleman takes the cake. What a terrible, terrible person in every conceivable sense of the word. Put that guy in a garbage can.

But I think we all have to agree that this guy right here is the best antagonist. Look at his amazing fashion sense......

Is Ritsu really an esper, then?

I am losing it at his grin ohgod. Same as mine tho! We shall never know how he ammassed such funds for his schemes but... Level-5 plots, man.

OU Ritsu had it as his lifelong dream! He suffers an inferiority complex despite being a perfect, straight-A popular student, all because he can't do telekinesis, while his brother is the plainest of the plain and struggles with most things, but is a powerful esper. It's basically that whole thing where you want the talents your siblings have, but you can't do anything about it. Eventually, Ritsu does manage to get his powers, but at first he kinda goes nuts with it and tries to outright fight his brother. Keyword: tries. Ritsu is a mess.

How do you feel about the announcement of Lady Layton? My little sister's still "BUT DID LAYTON MARRY or are she and alfendi adopted".

I never really got into Layton Brothers and haven't been keeping up with Lady Layton news. For me, the PL series has always been about Layton and Luke, so it's kind of like the X-Files trying to replace Mulder and Scully with Reyes and Doggett: I like Robert Patrick, he's just not why I'm watching.

So I guess you could say I'm ambivalent about it. There's a lot of pitfalls it could fall into, but who knows? It could end up like Layton Brothers or be another Layton vs Wright (which had every reason to be a cynical cashgrab but ended up being completely glorious).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you also like One Punch Man?

That's fair! I've been pretty behind and I'm sure the non-Layton and Luke stuff would be lower on my priority list too even if I was further along. I'm not done watching Layton vs Wright yet either! I remember being so hype I was literally on the floor when I first saw the announcement, then it had to take so dang long to be localized... so now I'm just watching an LP because I'm too poor to spend on vidya too much.

I do enjoy OPM as well, but it's fairly clear which one of them is ONE's more "serious" work! In a way, Saitama's hero as a hobby is funny in the meta that OPM is ONE's hobby and MP100 is his career. I'm still kinda salty that the anime really wrecked the 4koma comedic timing with OPM though, Bones did better with MP100's snippy, quick gag delivery. Here's to hoping s2 better delivers.

What's your favorite CR in the game at the moment? :>

For Ryoga: Vella (because they can both be enormous sarcastic sourpusses), Prompto (because they end up feeding into each other and encouraging each other to go full-in on increasingly dubious plans), and Noah (because they have stupid arguments that end in disaster, much like Ranma 1/2 itself). Chloe is also unusual in that she tends to calm Ryoga down instead of winding him up, which is rare.

For Luke: Ryoji! They have an opposites-attract vibe, with Ryoji totally being into ghosts and witches and Luke trying to be logical about things (but also liable to get sucked into Ryoji's pace and getting increasingly weirded out by Ryoji's attempts to reassure him that if he just peels the faces off those fruits, it'll all be fine). Ryoji doesn't try to talk down to or coddle Luke, either, which is something most twelve-year-olds appreciate I think. I can honestly say that all their conversations have been interesting so far.

What types of plots are you looking forward to in the game?

Aww those all sound so interesting! I'm glad there's such a colorful crowd in the game.

As for plots... hm! I do know this is going to be mostly player-driven rather than by NPC's, but I'm most definitely intrigued about the eventual existential crises more muses will face than not. I'm sure not all people will become better, I daresay I'm even more excited for people figuring out the uglier sides of themselves!

Now onto a sillier question... do you sleep with a stuffed animal like Luke does?

For Luke: if/when he regains his ability to talk to animals, what would he like to ask the Chocobos/how does he hope they'll respond?

Hmm... well, since he doesn't remember firsthand that horses were a thing, he'd probably just ask if they had any insight into wtf was going on lately. But I sincerely doubt the Chocobos know anything, so he'd probably just get into a conversation about birdseed or hay or whatever it is that Chocobos eat and go for free bird rides.

Rather than the chocobos, I think it would be time for him to visit the zoo! Maybe at night so no one thinks he's a weirdo, just a DIRTY TRESPASSER.

What would Ryoji ask the animals?

Talking to the zoo animals would be super cool, I hope he gets that chance! Though yeah, Chocobos will probably just be "No, I've always existed" but Ryoji would be hoping something like "I just popped into existence, it was the weirdest thing" and solve at least one of these mysteries. I think he'd want to ask how they eat carrots and apples with those beaks of theirs because apparently Chocobos eat horse food...
Is Luke still bringing home animals? Just casually leads a penguin home from the zoo, nbd

His name is Mr. Popper

Overall, I think Luke mostly knows not to bring animals home any more... mostly. But wouldn't you want to get all that sweet zoo gossip yep why not

Where did Ryoji get the scarf in Recolle?

Zoo gossip is the best gossip, there's years of stuff to learn about people with their inhibitions down

His scarf... Ryoji and his scarf are like a singular existence so it never occurred to me it'd be an item regain-- SO it's just a generic yellow scarf, not The Scarf from the game. I forget which thread it was, but I made up on the spot that his mother had bought it for him when he was younger because he would run out into crowds and she needed something bright yellow in order to find him, haha. So it's special to him and that's why he always wears it! As opposed to the game where it never tells us what's up with the scarf, I don't think.

What's Luke's general day-to-day outfit like? Still a proper young gentleman with his dashing cap? I always forget characters aren't always like their icons, especially when they have different hair/eye colors they mean to regain aslkfjh

Basically it's not too different from his icons; he wears a blue cap and dresses like a nerd, which is why he's also a prime target for older kids trying to beat him up. Luckily, he's fast \o/.

Also, he sounds like European version Luke because I can't tell the difference too well but there apparently is one.

Does Ryoji get along with his parents?

omg I didn't know there were two versions of his voice, his European voice is so cute, what
Somebody get this cute nerd some graphic tees and dark jeans :P Sometimes I wish I apped a younger character so I could get in on this school stuff (and bully kids around or something idk) but then I sit here and go "no, i'm in school, i don't want to rp about school" lmao Do you have a favorite character type to rp? From what I've seen of Luke and Ryoga, they're both outgoing and really fun!

Ryoji got along really well with his dad before he died and looked up to him a lot. His relationship with his mother is good, but not as close as it could be, because she always treated him like a little adult instead of coddling him as a child growing up. Other than that, I haven't given much thought about his family life, because I intend to have him move out and live on his own someday in the future.

I guess I usually pick characters to app based on the setting and how I think they'd fit into it. For Recolle, I'm not great at coming up with AUs, so I just aimed for someone from a modern setting. Ryoga is great because he's loud and dramatic and overreacts a lot. I went for Luke because he's mellower and... isn't a total idiot that can't solve puzzles. At the same time, no one expects him to solve any earthshattering mysteries, which would be a bit of an issue with Layton himself.

Occasionally I'll just really like a concept or one specific trait about a character and try to look for a setting that sort of resonates with their canon. I'm still looking for someplace to play Senshi or Marcille from Dungeon Meshi because I really like the idea of cooking and eating RPG monsters, and because Marcille's faces are the best. Strong personalities are also easier to RP; my last couple of characters have been a manic robot girl, the most Osakan high school detective alive, and a cynical biopunk cyborg who uses violence to solve all his problems.

Was the Persona cast one of your reasons for apping Ryoji, or are you more the 'app whoever I want' type?

AUs are a struggle for me too, but mostly I play characters from modern canons because history and sci-fi are the bane of my existence, I am terrible at keeping facts straight haha. All your muses sound crazy amazing though! I absolutely love playing against characters strong personalities.

Usually I just app whoever I feel like playing at the moment, but for Recolle in particular, I was actually looking for a new game to play Minato because I already had an account from another game. I had just finished playing through P3 for canon review, and had vague plans on making a Minako account for memes, but then I saw the cast on the reserves list and ngl that convinced me :')

Do you like having cast mates, or being a lcw more? Or I guess in a huge game it doesn't matter as much

Histor(ical manga) and sci-fi are two of my favorite genres! Too bad about that research, though...

I think I prefer being a LCW, though most of the time I don't have a choice about it because of the canons I play from. While you don't have built-in CR as a LCW, you also don't have to worry about checking in with castmates, and you're pretty much free to build your CR and slice your time however you see fit. That said, it'd be cool if there was a Maya Fey around because I really love their interactions. Or a Clive or Hershel!

What are your favorite things to look for in a game?
