How's My Driving?

[robot_mod]

H.M.D.?!
[ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THIS?! EPIC!!]

How It Works:
[1] List your name and your characters for which you would like some feedback (use our handy form, if you like)! POLYchromatic's HMD is, of course, totally optional.

[2] Please refrain from posting pictures, .gifs, videos, giant text, sparklies, blinking and moving tags, and &c. outside of collapsed threads. For the sake of our sanity and our load times. You are welcome to link to them in top-level comments, but otherwise please save 'em for collapsed threads.

[3] Open hands, await feedback and go forth and leave some polite thoughts, crit, questions, concerns, comments, suggestions, or any combination of the above for your fellow players about their respective characters. In this, we really encourage you to ask questions and get explanations about what has gone into characterization decisions. Communication is key. Find out what went into an action or decision and you may come to understand it better. Let's talk it out.

[4] Please try to be polite and constructive. Can't stress that enough, can I? Give suggestions and ask questions! Be constructive! But please also refrain from using "placeholder" comments. HMD isn't going anywhere, I promise!

[5] If you'd like, you can certainly list your personal HMD posts and contact posts over in the POLYchromatic Rainbow Pages directory.

[6] As per our community poll, Anonymous is off. We'd also like to request that sockpuppets not be used on this HMD. You are welcome to post a link to a personal HMD thread where Anonymous is allowed; these threads are your own lookout.

The form:
<b>Player name:</b> Your name/nickname/handle <b>Characters played:</b> Character :: Fandom :: Character LJ <b>Personal concrit link:</b> Feel free to remove this or leave this blank, as desired <b>Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N:</b> Likewise, as above <b>Other comments?</b> Please refrain from posting pictures, .gifs, videos, giant text, sparklies, blinking and moving tags, and &c. in top-level comments

To the best of my abilities, I'll keep an ongoing and alphabetical list of everyone's HMD comments here below for your browsing pleasure. (I'll make a note of my status if and when I am away and unable to update the table immediately. All apologies for any delays.)

Personal concrit link: ♚: anon-enabled, ip-disabled, and screened--in the hopes that you may find it useful and informative.

Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Yes & yes.

Other comments? Ask me questions, tell me things. I'm glad of any comments, questions, remarks, advice, suggestions, thoughts, letters, Morse code, telegrams, or smoke signals regarding my characters. I always get inspired after HMD--for whatever reason, it always makes me want to play more. I'm glad of any feedback at all. Let me know what you think.

However, that being said, I know I've been what you might call less-than-active lately. I'm really burned out with work (working six days a week will do that to a person) and my RP drive is at low ebb--all-time low ebb. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere and neither are my two characters. But any suggestions or ideas are certainly welcomed. (Fool that I am, I have another app in the works. No, I'm not telling who or what or how.)

Also, as ever, any comments, questions, suggestions, confusion, rage, anguish, hate, frustration, death threats, coded letters, bribe money, scientific papers, research proposals, internship applications, or flaming bags of dog poo intended to be directed at one, Prof. Dr. Laszlo Jamf (laszlo_jamf), can also be left here for his attention. We understand he has something of a fan club. Somehow.

OMG CARU WHY IS NO-NAME SO DELICIOUS AND WHY DO I HAVE NO GIRLY-MUSES TO THROW AT HIM? WHY? WHYYYYYY?!!!!

...................Other than that, I haz nuffin useful to add orz. However I adore stalking your Cain and your Cowboy and I am proud to be a member of the Lazlo Fanclub.

Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Y/Y! Though, if you take that option, I'd be grateful if you checked back in a day or so just so's we can be sure I've understood!
Other comments? Kazu hit his first Cityversary and ... did some sketchy AU things for grab bag! Sorrrt of concerned that he bounces to reactions / smartmouthing / wrong amount of spine and threading with him doesn't go smoothly. Izaya could use general voice tips! Vincent might be lacking a bit of the creeper edge?? Everything's fair game, let's roll.

[haring_to_go]

Vincent... I think you may have something there about the lacking a bit of a creeper edge, but he's also only been in the game for 2 weeks. He was never a guy who was purposely creepy but was rather just creepy by default. If he hasn't ripped up a sheet or two by now, I'd be worried. But actively creeping on someone? I think Vincent reserves that for special people.

Maybe he just hasn't found a new play thing yet. After all, creepy takes effort and we all know his dormouse doesn't let him up all that often >:

Other than that, i love his subtle trolling which somehow ends up being very not subtle at all by the end. I think you're doing just fine with him.

I know I have been MIA a lot lately because I have been working 6 days at 58 hours. This is only a very temporary arrangement, but it is also incredibly stressful and has severely damaged my RP drive. That said, however, it doesn't mean that I am not still ridiculously in love with this game and playing with everyone. I am never leaving. Ever.

So please accept me whole-heartedly. ♥

Kimmeh!

[mortemscintilla]

/crawls over a Kimmeh!<333

Ikki continues to be a wonderful mouthy firecracker, and his posts and tags always have a way of making me LAWL. Hei is interested in knowing more about Kogarasumaru, and Karl creeps on all its young, fresh, tasty members as ever (.....We never did learn if he was still part of the team or not xD..... Relax, Ikki, he won't bite you. He thinks you're cool. ) I look forward to more cr, in whatever shape it may be! ♥

[beyourarmy]

Okay, I only had the one thread with Steve so far, but he was so adorably polite in it. And then immediately turned that around when he realized Setsuna was uncomfortable with it, which sounds like Steve. So eager to please.

And I can totally see him taking the whole Police Force needs a leader thing on his own shoulders. I definitely hope to interact more.

Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Yes.
Other comments? First time playing Dave and first time playing a Homestuck. If I've got any details wrong about sburb or whatever, I would definitely, definitely like to know that as soon as possible. I plan to reread at...some point, though!

[beyourarmy]

Don't know a thing about Homestuck, probably never will, but it's neat to play against you again. Especially with such a calm, sarcastic character. You do those well, I think.

I can't say anything about characterization, but when it comes down to RP/writing or whatever, I can, and you're good at it. The interactions with Setsuna were captivating and interesting enough to make me want to tag, even though I don't know the canon. Knowing canon sometimes helps the interest, but in this case, it wasn't needed.

Hope we can interact more!

[mortemscintilla]

PAR PAR~ ♥ :3

In proud tradition of stalkery, your Arthur is creeped upon and your Liam has been nabbed to work for a mad vampire~! Both their characterizations are wonderful, with Arthur being the perfect snotty brat with a heart of gold, and Liam being the spazzy, uptight Liam * ^ * I'm looking forward to more threads and potential disasters of epic proportions! Until then....forever shall I stalk!<3

.............Kidding. (Maybe >.>)

As always, I adore threading with your Sets. He brings so much energy and enthusiasm in his tags, and I'm always torn between wanting to clunk him on the head for gravitating to a crazy vampire, and hugging him to squishy bits. He and Karl have such bizarre, hilarious, headscratching convos, and I'm greatly looking forward to much chaos and plotty funtimes between him and the AS crew. As far as I'm concerned, you are THE Setsuna, and I shall hoard him to myself foreverrrrrrr<333

Also loving the cr that's started between Hei and Ken. (He's disappointed you aren't a little girl, dude ;; ). I DEMAND MOAR 8V

Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Nope~
Other comments? I'm always up for concrit, characterization issues, etc, for both my boys! Hei is very new (and a horrifically tall order! ;;). I'm still trying to get the hang of his voice. Any advice/comments are greatly appreciated! But please keep things polite<3

[beyourarmy]

I know nothing about Hei, obviously, so I can't really help much or give advice there, but in playing him, I have to say, it's nice to see you play something different from Karl to be able to compare. The contrast gives a better idea of what kind of range you have. Which is a pretty big range, really.

You handled moe!Karl so damn well, after all.

I imagine that Hei would be a tall order, considering you're RPing him, and he's got the Li persona on top of that. But it's fun to watch, and I think it looks amazing from here.

Then there's Karl. *steals Karl and takes him home* He is so messed up, in all the right ways. I love how you've had him stick to being a horrible psychopath. He has character development within his relationships rather than change himself, which with Karl, works best, I think. He would lose something otherwise, and I don't think he's capable of changing actively simply because he's too far gone.

On top of that, I still think you're a good writer, very engaging, and as a RPer you're nearly everywhere with your characters. Either one or the other has their hands into most of the going-ons of the City, and between the two of them they nearly know everyone in the City as well.

I adore throwing my muses at yours, and it's been nothing but fun for me.

I cannot coherently express how much I adore this guy! Just - asdfghjkgdfd!!! ♥ You play him with just the right amount of goofiness and humor, and I'm always cracking up at his tags because each one is GOLD<333 His threads with Hei are a riot, and Karl enjoys trolling him ever so much.

There are a lot of exclamation points in this comment good lord.

I've also seen some talk here and there on rpanons about medium snobbery. If you feel like I've been guilty of this (though I hope not orz), or any other LA player in POLY, I hope you use the HMD as an opportunity to start a discussion about it! We have a pretty diverse group here, it'd be a shame for anyone to feel left out just because of the nature of their icons.

Nothing to say here that I haven't said before, really. I can't think of a person I'd rather be in two casts with and I love our fucked up relationships. Between the characters, that is. We are just lovely!

More in-depth, I really like how Belial is trying to adapt to Kira... In some ways nir probably has a harder time than most, because for just about anyone else he's - in their point of view - clearly either Lucifer or Kira. Belial understands or tries to understand him well enough to realize that it's not that simple and that definitely doesn't make nir life easy. I enjoy the way this is playing out between them, makes me look forward to how things will develop between them further.
