Okay. So this is going to be a long/short list..... Lets see how well I can do this.
Starting with my family:
Minihitsukimi: Yeah, yeah. He was my adopted son. Everybody yells at that, but really? Who cares. Mini was always a barrel of fun, constantly cracking jokes and raising my spirits. he was also fun to knock around here and there. XD I watched his character grow, from horrfying to behold, to something worthwhile, both in my RP life, and in the village of Konohagakure.
Morganne: Most people don't agree, but I have to say she is a wonderful zoner. Yes, my ex-wife kicked my arse across the fields a few times, and she had a great personality. loving, affectionate, but most of all, smart and witty. She used her mind in ways that made you really think about what the true meaning of whatever was said was. She always had a strategy in place, and was avid in her defense of the village she belonged to, and she could talk circles around somebody. Her writing was fantastic, and she was very discriptive. in truth? I miss speaking with her. You ever want a workout for your mind? See her.
Raijin Hikari: Boy oh boy. The current Kazekage. I must agree with Kayenta. In more ways than one. Besides being one of the first people to speak to me when I had joined this game, Raijin has proven a true friend. He has kept me in line, many a time, and helped me stay on the straight and narrow. Without Raijin, I think this character would have dropped off the deep end many a year ago. But more than that, The Kazekage is a compassionate man, and, besides putting up with my many nefarious inquisitions and activities in Sunagakure, he has shown a remarkable talent with putting up with my crap, and making sure I have somebody to turn to when everything else seems broken in my life. For that I must thank him.
XyShuryn: The witty older brother, always quick with the comebacks. Not as active as I perhaps wish, You can always count on Shurn for a good laugh. Always entertaining, he tended to stay away from the zones, and rather fight it out with jokes, and innuendos in the Gardens.
UzamakiWarrior/Athos: Many a time have I had to pull myself back from wailing on this man. He brings forth the unquenchable urge to punch him, no? However, it was that among other qualities that put him in my list. He holds a love for life, and enjoys poking fun at others, regardless of the cost to himself. He could always make you smile, laugh, or some other expression of happiness. Even if he was a pain most of the time. True, he was an average zoner, but he had a mind that worked unlike others, and constantly made you guess about whatever plan he had conceived to face you with.
Kayenta/
Shima: The one female who puts up with my crap, regardless of what I do. She constantly checks in with me, to make sure I am good, and beyond the game, she keeps a person in a rather fantastical mood. So much fun to RP with, she is very descriptive, and constantly gives a new take on whatever action is occurring. Making you think, her posts bring questions to mind, and make you look at whatever you post. She has a magnetism that draws others in, making her the easy friend everybody needs. In all her incarnations she cares for her friends, and is constantly involved in every aspect of a game. Becoming a Moderator only seems to have heightened her fodness for the game, and get her ever more involved.
Okay! On to the others now!
Syre: This licentious little punk makes almost any situation awkward, but funny. You really have no choice but to fall in love with this character, in the way that he constantly brings laughs to the table, and makes others feel better. Really going through a mundane life, I have yet to see him spar much, but you can always find him in the Gardens. True, he is not so active anymore, however, he still carries a great weight, and makes everything fun. Even if in a perverse manner. XD
Asadi: Fun to adventure with, his constant witticisms, and pyromaniac exploits, like burning down my poor house in Kirigakure, keep you on edge. He offers valuable insight to odd situations, and can make you questions things you think are so concrete. He, besides being a fantastic zoner, is very descriptive in any RP he undertakes. I find it a worthwhile endeavor to befriend this man.
Kotetsu: A tidbit about this man? Never get on his bad side. Not a great place to be. However, he always holds strong to his convictions, and is quite the stubborn man. Nonetheless, he is one of the better Rpers I have seen in my time. Furthermore, his antics, and rather fun attitude leave a person feeling better when he is around. That is, unless he is trying to kill you. Then please look out. Cause, let's be serious... He's the big dude from Kiri... XD
Lake: A rather young shinobi, he has a gentler soul, and a good Zone skill. One to give and take as it goes, you can find him constantly training to improve his skills, and that is what makes him worth the effort. A good clan-mate to have, and an even better friend, he is one who shows his care very particularly. He constantly pushes people to grow, and achieve a better, and higher state of being.
Rares: A rather fun person to RP with, rares has always stuck by his character as head of the Root ANBU in Konohagakure. He has a dry wit, that can bring a smile to your face. A great zoner, from what I have seen, you can never know what to expect from him. As it should be for an ANBU, no? Rares always affords a fun perspective to any situation, good, or bad.
Xiarawst: A strong individual from Kirigakure, he is always vigilant in its defense, and care. he holds dear to him the villages, and shinobi of the village, and would defend them to his last breath. Holding some people higher than others, he has high expectations. The way he is, he makesyou want to exceed those expectations. Infectious in his laughter, and joking being, he tries to keep spirits up. But don't let that fool you. he can be all business when he needs to be, and tough. His strengths far outweigh his weaknesses, and that is what makes him such a great leader. In truth? Xia is like family to me.
Ranketsu: In a time of strife, she took the Mizukage mantle, and lifted it from the ground. She has always been involved in the tidings of the village, and treats each an every shinobi and villager like family. Of course, involved in her nefarious things as she is, she can be deceitful and cruel. But honestly? What shinobi isn't hm? Even though, as of late, her activity has been down, and her approaching retirement leaves much to be desired, she has led a lief worth living, and one that makes myself feel young by comparison.
Hayazaki Hana: As quick to befriend you as slip a blade between your rips, Hana proffers forth an interesting view on many topics. She constantly gets into arguments, and makes sure her point is made. However caustic her personality is, when you can get lose enough, you can see the good within. She enjoys conversations and debates, yes, but she is also a great zoner. Utilizing her strategic mind, and her skill with medical ninjutsu, she creates a formidable foe. One I particularly find interesting to battle every now and then.
AkimoriMizu: Anybody else remember this headcase? XD Found always on the outskirts, she would utilize genjutsu, and physical attacks in the zones for lethal combinations. She could always be seen giving people advice, or helping new members to the game. Including me, when I made my first account ever. She could have a caustic personality at times, and her aim with the M&M gun was legendary, but she was one of the few people in the game that one could enjoy being around for hours on end. Brutally honest as well.
Antheea: The dragon priestess! She was the first to afford the great Dragon race a character to play, and boy has she played them well. Giving them a face, emotions, and a name brought forth an interesting side to our Shinobi role-playing ideals. Playing quite the bit of NPC in her dragons, she holds great skill, and is quite the interesting person to Role-play with. One I particularly enjoy for her descriptive writing skill.
Ombre: Hey! The shadow man is back, no? I can't say much about Ombre, but mostly that he is a fun person to adventure with. I warn you though. If you are afraid of things that go bump in the night, Ombre is definitely the wrong friend for you.
Murciélago: Gasp, the car? No. It is the man. This ambitious young punk I have watched grow from a sapling, into a strong tree. Always looking out for possible Avernus to explore, he has the uncanny ability to see things from almost every angle. Headstrong, stubborn, and fast to make decisions, he is old enough to know better, but still young enough to do it anyway.
Fuyuriku: The wind blade master. This young Shinobi has seen more than his fair share of 'evil' and 'darkness' in the shinobi world. He is a witty being, and quite enjoys debates, particularly with me. That, and calling people bullies. Hypocritical if you ask me. But that's beside the point. He is a worth adversary in the zones, and constantly keeps you on your toes, both in and out. Think twice about what you say to this man, for you never know how it will be construed.
CrystalLiu: Fun fun. A past mentor, Liu-Sama is an interesting case. Always quick to judgments, she is not afraid to tell you what she thinks, and why she thinks it. A great zoner, she holds a lot of power, and strength. Furthermore, she has a mind and capacity to think normally unheard of in a lot of cases. Admirable, and deadly, she commands respect by being in the room. As a teacher, she can be harsh, but gentle, taking care of her students, as well as pushing them to their limits, and beyond.
Dart: Oh boy. Dart. Such a mysterious being. As quick to body slam you, and murder you as he is to talk, Dart, in all his incarnations, offers a fun aspect to the adventurous RP. He is always ready to advocate violence, as well as peace (at times) and will do whatever it takes to make sure he turns out the victor in any fight, on and off the zones. His skill is comparable to the best of the best, and he is always willing to Role-play something interesting.
Inoth, A doctor: A compassionate individual, he is always quick to help others, and teach them what they don't know. Not one for zoning, he prefers to use his skills in medical ninjutsu, and thus help the people that would otherwise obliterate each other. He can normally be seen with his nose in a book.
Greager: An individual few have heard of, Greager is a secretive man. He holds dear his children, and is always willing to help others. But what makes him so scary? His demonic aspect. You can never know what to expect from him, in simple conversation or in the zones. Hard to anger, Greager is normally an even temperamental being. However, should you force his hand, you had better watch out. His skill in certain aspects in unparalleled, and he is one of the few people I fear battling in the zones.
Nathan: A rather quirky individual, Nathan is one who is quick with comebacks, and witticisms. He is always willing to try and put a smile on another's face. Strong in the zones, he has a good skill, and is always on his toes, ready for a brawl.
Sabumaru: Old man? Others call me old, but have you seen this guy? However, looks can be deceptive. Sabumaru is strong, and always ready for a fight. Wielding unnatural strength, he is a formidable foe in the zones, and quite the interesting person to be around otherwise. Watch out though, Even though he is slow to anger, his anger can be dangerous. Especially considering his age permits him little time for grudges. So he takes care of things quickly.
For now, that's all I got. Might ad more later though...
