Ah ha ha ha at last! Actually, I've been trying to make him a little sharper, a little harsher. I know for a while he actually got...way too mellow. And I think I slid a bit on that recently, but I am trying. He's Not Really a Nice Guy, and I want to try to keep that. So I'm glad it looks like I'm doing all right with that. (I also intend to tag Kanda more. Because it's awesome.)
I still feel a little shaky with Hawkeye--like his jokes are too forced or he's unhappy at the wrong times. He does this weird switch thing in canon where one minute it's lololololjokelolol and then POW! WAR SUCKS AND I HATE YOU ALL >( I can't do the swap quite like in canon (obviously), so...eh, I love playing him, don't get me wrong, but poke me if I start getting off track, too lame in my jokes, or like I'm just trying too hard. I'm glad you're enjoying reading him. That's very encouraging to me.
I knoooooooooow I do that, especially with Cain and Alice. I mean, there are times when I myself see it and I just cringe. I've been feeling this one myself, so I'm glad you said you were seeing it too: it's not just my imagination. Sure, Cain and Alice are both of a similar era and country, but that's where it ends, Ed's from later in time, and Hawkeye's the other side of the pond. Don't blend, guys, really. I know it wouldn't hurt me at all to experiment a little more. My problem always is that if I'm going to make a post, I want to make a post. And that ends up being really amazingly tl;dr and ridiculous. I think I will experiment a little. I'll go check canons and things for some details and particulars, stuff I can throw in to make them different. Because, really, the last thing I want is for them to blend together.
♥! Thank you thank you thank you! Helpful as ever. Watch out for forthcoming tags.
