aww yeah it's question meme time

[hackitude]

Time to bring back one of my old faves...

the QUESTION meme

Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:

1. POST a top-level with your character name

2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character

3. ANSWER the question you were asked

4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!

We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!

QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.

Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

Has Kanaya changed in any way during her time in-game, personality or otherwise?

[glowsferatu]

well she's about nine inches taller and four years older than when she first first arrived three and a half years ago.

but more seriously she's come out of that time more jaded, and on various occasions had to reexamine just where her problems with self-worth lie. but reexamining doesn't mean she's exactly conquered those problems, she's just altered her position on them somewhat, drawing back and better weighing how worth it anything she might throw herself into is.

the downside of it is that she cares for others easily, and strongly, and having to draw herself back means she's had to become meaner, more guarded, holding them at a distance before she can get attached. her last moments in the city before arriving in the cape canaveral porter involved her friend nepeta dying in her arms, and this after nearly a year where their relationship had deteriorated after kanaya withheld the fact that nepeta would die at home. coming in on the other side empty-handed devastated her.

she's scared to let people close, because she knows she's just going to lose them eventually. but being just as scared of leaving them unprotected, she's determined to fight for anyone she can when the need arises. few things are as important in her mind as security.


for light, what kind of longterm goals does he have in game? any kind of plans he may be working toward, possibly on the sly?

[godly]

ah, that's great. I love reading about how people's characters have developed after being in game for a long period of time.

As for Light, he's somewhat in a state of limbo when it comes to long-term goals, which is strange for someone like himself. It's a foreign kind of feeling, mostly a consequence of the fact that he's never completely shaken the feeling that he just doesn't belong in this world.

Not that that's given him a lack of things to do or more immediate goals to accomplish: he's pretty determined to finish university in the least amount of time as possible, and continue his work within the police department. If he really has to be stuck here for that long, he might as well align his long-term goals back home with his goals here -- in which case he hopes to continue his career in criminal justice the best to his abilities. Full steam ahead and all that.

There is, of course, the fact that his real long-term goals of being Kira (becoming god, killing murderers, being kinda crazy, etc) have been erased from his memory; though there is a lingering feeling of doubt about his role in all of that back home, due to a few instances that actually took place in Heropa. It isn't enough to diminish his confidence about it, not completely. But it's enough for him to possibly do a bit of research into anything relating to memory if it ever comes up, or if things within the game setting calm down long enough for him to approach that.

Other than that, I suppose another long-term goal is one shared with many other imPorts: the desire to find a way to return home. As it turns out, this is leading down a very investigative type road that definitely pings his detective-like instincts. It's something to keep him distracted and something he wants to eventually get to the bottom to, and that will be a permanent goal of his for the foreseeable future.

yeah, from what little i know about death note (it was like a plot he had to get close to the investigators after him, wasn't it?), i could see how taking him from that canon point would make it a lot easier to get cr when starting out. but memory can be a very interesting topic in the context of mom, given the way they can kind of define what separates them here from canon. kanaya might be interested in that same kind of research, but more for externalizing or strengthening it than restoring.

do you have any plans to eventually canon update him to remember kira, or hoping for some kind of memory treatment?
