I was looking for a character who was on the opposite end of the social spectrum than the character I had in Aather at the time (Hakkai from Saiyuki)! At first I was torn between Mattrim Cauthon from The Wheel of Time and Jack Russell from Radiata Stories, but I wasn't convinced with either of them. And I started thinking about apping Keima or even Haqua from Kaminomi, Madoka, Black Star from Soul Eater... And then my waifu was awesome and started brainstorming ideas at me and when she finally said it sounded like I wanted to app Naruto something inside me clicked and I was like. YES. YES.

I... laughed a lot at myself during the next two weeks, and I couldn't believe what I was doing. But I love the character and I enjoy the canon a lot and I felt it could be a good fit for this game, so I went and apped him. I never expected to have castmates, though! That was a happy coincidence :'D.

Reverse, both for Aather and for Camp?

SURPRISE NARUTO CAST

Naruto is kind of my long running, brainless fun canon that I've been following forever, so it was kind of an obvious place to look when I was thinking of apping into camp. I knew I wanted someone, and I was talking to a friend about who.

True story, I basically said that I wanted someone who was baaaasically a good guy, but could say incredible mean things to people. Who could that be... who... Neji! (I also played Ino for a long time. idk, that's not the only character type I like or play, but it's definitely a favorite.) Then I played him forever, and I told myself I definitely wouldn't app him into Aather!

But I wanted to app someone for like... a couple of months, and Neji showed up briefly in canon, and oh my god, he was being so cranky and exhausted, and it reminded me why I loved him. I knew he'd be challenging, and... honestly I'm surprised he didn't end up a bigger dick than he is at the moment. It was definitely a possibility.

Would Naruto be disappointed to find out that pulling an Emerald in a trauma game doesn't (always) lead to winning?

Only a little! But Naruto doesn't really want Carnelian to pull an Emerald either... What he wants is to refute the very foundations of games like that on the basis that a true hero would find a way out of the kind of predicaments that the Personae want the teams to assume they're in when they make them play physically harmful trauma games, and a true hero's way might not result in anyone's death or harm. Basically, the justification behind trauma games picking up the situation from where you have to choose between bad and worse is too abstract for him, and Naruto thinks they are being underestimated by being put in that situation instead of playing out what would lead them to have to make that sort of decision, because it might not come to that. That's what makes him think they need to refuse to play, and that's why he thinks they should win if they did, too.

As for winning or not, he'd feel certain they did the right thing if they refused to play, even if they lost. The real problem would be if Carnelian was physically punished for acting that way. But yes, Naruto doesn't think playing the Emerald way is the right way to play trauma games either... (yet). And Carnelian is not a self-sacrificing team, so forcing Alois and Shuri to take hits for people they don't care about is not an issue Naruto could force. He'll argue and yell and get mad at them for not being willing to do it! But he won't force them, even if *that* kind of reluctance is disappointing for him.

I am the queen of run-on sentences and messy grammar and I don't even know if I answered your question /o/

How do you think Neji would fit in other teams? Any favorite what-ifs?

Awesome run on sentences. That makes a lot of sense for Naruto.

I don't really know. I wonder how Neji would have fit on other teams pretty often, but I'm not really sure I have any strong theories of how it would turn out.

...Except for if he were on Turquoise. If he were on Turquoise, he would be the MOST LONG SUFFERING.

I do in particular wonder how he would have done on a team that habitually took their memories together, though. Iolite doesn't, and while we've talked about trying to do it more, Neji's become pretty private and protective about his memories. He doesn't really want other people to know what he remembers, but more than that, he doesn't want people to know he has FEELINGS when he takes them sometimes. So I think it would have been interesting if he weren't on a team that let him hide his vulnerabilities like that. :|a

Reverse?

T-Thank you I think XD

I think Naruto would've been more dere and protective of his team in Kunzite! In Tiger's Eye and Citrine I don't think there would've been much of a difference, except maybe that he would have had an easier time than in Carnelian, less drama, etc. I think Sapphire and Turquoise could have gone either way, Emerald would have been a good influence, and Ruby would have been a bad one. Iolite and Peridot... bad, probably... but I don't know! Amethyst and Coral would have been awkward.

Why would Turquoise be such a bad fit for Neji?

I don't know that it would be bad exactly, but there definitely some characters on that team who would just have him facepalming for daaaays. Katou in particular, and Rin, and it would just be. ¬.¬ this face until he froze that way.

So I will ask about Kaji, because I don't know anything about his canon at all. What makes him fun to play?

I AM TRYING REALLY HARD NOT TO ESSAY AT YOU AND FAILING ;; so I'll ask this first-- do you want to know more about him as a character, or about the aspects of his personality that I find fun about playing him?

What parts are fun to play. XD
