HALP!

I've run into a rather irritating problem. My muses are being problematic, and fading in and out of character (if you couldn't tell!)

So I've got a question: How do you guys keep your muses in check?

I'd love to rewatch their respective animes and reread their books, but I just don't have the time for that. And I'd prefer not to have to go on hiatus. Still, its a problem when you can't tell which of your four muses is talking at any given time.

Suggestions?

Well, one of my problems might be that I don't 'get' post Kabuchimaru Kabuto as much as I do his other self. So while the cannon is similar to whats going on here (the idea being to help the Sound move through its cannon) its still really hard for me to play.

As for Himiko...I don't think she has any relationships in the anime, correct? So that really is uncharted territory. (Though just talking about it is helping!)

*nodnod* Admittedly, I'm not a huge Naruto fan (most of my knowledge comes from friends and this place, l-lol), but I do understand what you mean by not really "getting" a character. Does Kabuto get to go back to normal at all in canon? (random question)

No romantic relationships that I'm aware of, no. There's the obvious work ones that she has, and then the past she's got with Ban and Yamato - and then there's some manga stuff that doesn't get covered in the anime (least I don't remember it being touched upon).

[sound_council]

I don't think so? At least not yet. Then again the 'normal' him might have merely been a persona, and was a sham to begin with. =.=; (And its okay that you're not a big Naruto fan. Most people aren't XD)

Hmm. I do know there was something hinted with Kagame, but as we don't have one here, I might just ignore that. I guess what the real problem stems from is that Himiko is so young, especially in the manga. So its kind of hard to square the fact that she's a hardened transporter with the fact that shes at most nineteen. (I think I've done okay so far? What do you think?)

Methinks I'm going to hit up a friend of mine tomorrow about this, *lol*

Our GB crew needs to expand - I miss having Ginji around, ;_; But yeah, I get what you're saying; it's a freaking anime stereotype to have people so hardened and worldly and...still teenagers...XD But then again, you still have her past, what with being pretty much the last of the Last Children, still being pissed off at Ban for what happened with Yamato, and so on...and yeah, she's only eighteen, nineteen years old (depending on what you're going by; since I play Ban from the anime, he's 21 as opposed to being just 18 in the manga).

[sound_council]

:D Thank you!

Yes. Ban with out a Ginji should not be!

Hmm. In the manga, Himiko is 16 (I think), so her being 19 might actually work.

I can do the 'hardened transporter' routine rather well, its getting her flashes of 'girlyness' that's the hard part.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Not a problem! :3

It's just...weird to have to just assume what's going on and whatnot. Rider and I tried to get a friend of ours to join up here as Ginji, but he backed out, >: so...we'll see what happens in the long run.

It would make sense, since just about everyone is aged up about three years, so 19 would work out rather well.

Ah, when she actually gets to be somewhat feminine? I'd probably rewatch the episodes where she does get to act kinda girlie; I'm thinking episodes 36 and 39 for starters.

[sound_council]

You're not the only one who ends up walking into assumption walls. (Though being the only player from a cannon can be kind of liberating.)

And it gets her old enough to be legal and older than Akabane's foster-daughter.

That's the problem. Most of the time shes trying to keep up with the guys or has her work face on. Trying to capture how she really is is sometimes difficult, but shouldn't be impossible. *goes to look up 36 & 39*

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

XD I know what you mean; I've got Nabooru as well, who's the only player here so far from Ocarina of Time and a minor character. x_x *lol*

THERE YOU GO! :3 Legality is usually a good thing.

The few times she's let her guard down, it's usually during one of those inner thoughts moments, and they last for what, thirty seconds? >.o But yeah, 36 deals with a job where they have to retrieve a baby, and 39 is when Ginji's laid up in the hospital and hijinks ensue (especially with Ginji and Himiko).

[poison_puppet]

Yes. Though I guess I'm a bit luckier than you...if I mess up with characterization no on knows my cannon enough to call me on it! XD

Indeed it is~

Oh, I forgot about the baby episode. (Though I think 39 holds a special place in all GB fans hearts~)
