Kazuki Hihara - I love being around people and I understand giving something up that you are good at to pursue something you love. In my case it was the other way around. I gave up music to become a journalist. It also took me quite a while to decide.

I like to joke around and be around other people and making them left when given the opportunity but I also have only a handful people to call bestfriend. I get happy and excite about the smallest things if not stressed out or in deep thought about something... xD

I can be quite passionate in something very easily.

From:

That sounds really wonderful, deciding to follow your dreams! ♥ And you sound like a really cheerful person X3

I am sorry for the strange grammar there! :D

It was done in a hurry and I was exhausted from . Hahahaha... thank you so much. ^^

I've watched La Corda D'Oro, Neo Angelique, and Angelique so far, but I think I only resemble characters from the latter series.

When I am forced to be in a position of power, I carry myself similarly as Julious--though that's about the extent of our similarity. Though, I respect people with his sort of attitude regarding duties and such, so I try to cater to their expectations even though I'm a Clavis-type (a.k.a romantic type)

I find myself endorsing Clavis' words, and I believe the endorsement is probably the result of a need to create a self-defense mechanism that would prevent more harm from taking place. Other similarities between Clavis and I is our love for poetry (I spend a lot of spare time writing poems), time alone (doing very introverted things), relaxing while listening to harp music (or any instrumental stuff with no lyrics), and enjoyment of a person like Lumiale.

Though, I am striving to become someone like Luva, who has a passion for understanding everything, because a lot of times my nihilism and apathy interfere with my progress of happiness. I need an interest in seeking knowledge to find a meaning to my life that will pull me away from fatalistic thoughts.

From:

Thank you so much for sharing about yourself ^^

I wish you all luck and strength in finding that which inspires and empassions (that's not a word, but it should be) you.

From:

Angelique - I'll have to say Clavis and Luva.

In real life, I'm quiet and like my peace. I'm happiest when my parents are away and I can spend time alone at home. I also sleep a lot and daydream constantly (talk about having too much imagination). I don't really show emotion a lot, either - due to my Asperger syndrome, I just can't. (I find people screaming at their idols really embarrassing.)

Also, online I appear to be more open - here my sense of humor also gets to shine, and I can share my knowledge with everyone. I've actually been dubbed "walking Wiki".

So, there you go - Clavis (loves to be alone, imagination, sleepy, like an emotionless android) and Luva (down-to-earth, knowledgeable, bookworm).

I have no idea who to compare a sort of "inner personality" of mine. I don't really know how to call it... I think like it all the time, and it's only recently started to show online (but never in real life).
I'm a (not-so) closet sadist, I have a slightly (...slightly!?) dirty mindset/imagination and a twisted and perverted sense of humor. XD
-----------------------------

Neo Angelique - a mix of Bernard and Jet, I think.
-----------------------------

Haruka - Takamichi and Yasuaki?
-----------------------------

I don't know Corda well enough yet to say.

From:

As for the inner shadow — NR doesn't seem to have such a large number of those characters with darker personality complications (perhaps Koei can't bring itself to deliver too many twisted types to the "innocent" young female audience XD). Though Benkei and Yunoki do immediately come to mind...

Would you be willing to elaborate on the Bernard/Jet mixture? I'm currently still pretty NeoAnge-sterile, so I'd love to hear more and try to understand them better. :)

From:

Well, Bernard seems wise for his age, sort of down-to-earth and realistic - which I think I am.
And Jet, uh... emotionless android. x'D

...I just realized that Tomomori is on that "darker personality" scale. wtf. My favorite Haruka character.

From:

I have no useful direct response to this question, but it does bring to mind how awesome a NeoRoma chara ranking community would be.

From:

Chara RATING community, sorry.

From:

I've been thinking about the same thing. I don't know about rating comms, so I don't think I'd start one... but I really hope someone does!

From:

It could be a short-term project here, as rating communities tend to have a limited lifespan - though some might mind the somewhat OT-ness of the posts; we'd have to discuss it and see what would be best. I've been involved in a rating community before; I wouldn't mind collaborating with others on some of the questions.

From:

Oh, I've never participated in one but it's always looked like fun! :) Do we have enough active members with enough cross-series knowledge to make it a full-fledged NeoRoma rating... post? subtopic? community? initiative?

From:

I think what'll happen, if we do indeed decide to do this, is that the ratings/responses will, like our members, fall along two camps - Ange/Neo Ange or Haruka/Corda. We do have folks who know all four, but I notice that, in great part, the folks posting here are familiar with either one cluster of franchises or the other.

I do think this is workable; a) it's not a deal-breaker for each member to have two ratings - some folks in the community of which I was a part ended up dual-rated - and b) the folks doing the rating usually mention how strongly they feel about their choices ("Well, you *kinda* fit Luva..." / "You _definitely_ sound like an Eisen to me!"). If someone doesn't really fit anyone in one franchise but is a great fit for a character in another, it should be apparent. And, of course, we have our omniknowledgable members for tiebreakers.

Hmmm. Should I split this discussion off into another thread?

From:

I can also help with questions, eventual themes and stuff like that. :0 I have a really vivid imagination and I can come up with ideas easily. xD

From:

sry late comment is late

Couldn't hurt to toss the idea around a little more and see if we have an appropriate audience and space for it :) I'd be willing to explore the idea some more.

Haruka - According to those who know me best, I'm a combination of Yuzuru and Motomi. Like Yuzuru I tend to worry to much and get easily irritated with people treating the people and things I treasure in a way that I disagree with. Have been known to show jealousy. I tend to put my personal needs and wants below those of people I care about. Constantly feel more mature than some of my older siblings. Like archery. Have been told many times that I'm too serious.
As far as the Motomi part goes, I have a fair amount of insecurity (am I good enough to do this, do I deserve this, etc.), and don't always stand up for myself. When pressed, though, I'm generally able to do what all good Ten Genbu do and fight for what I need to.

With Corda I tend to feel like a combination of the girls. I'm mostly Fuyuumi with her shyness. I'm not as musically talented as she, but I think more of my creativity comes out in writing. When working on something really important to me, I tend to get nervous about it and it either turns out lackluster or I don't want to show it to people. I also used to have a really hard time talking to people (especially those I didn't know), and sometimes I still feel really awkward when I'm around strangers. Like Amou I get excited about whatever I'm doing at that moment and throw all my energy into it (though admittedly it tends to lead to a lot of things left unfinished).

I don't know much at all about any of the Ange series so I'll have to pass on that.

I've seen all four series...

Angelique
First off I think of myself like Luva, we both love to read whenever the opportunity is presented (I used to spend a lot of lunchtimes in the school library) and are awkward around the opposite gender.

I also think of myself like Lumiale in the sense of disliking conflict. I don't like fighting with others, nor do I enjoy bearing witness to someone fighting, even if it's just an argument...it actually makes me feel nauseous when I see people fighting. I am also fond of music and art, and while I'm not very good at art, and can only play the recorder, I still enjoy visiting the art gallery or listening to music.

Haruka
As mentioned above, I'm a bookworm, so Takamichi it is. Also, I can be too serious and need to learn how to lighten up and have fun.

I am also like Eisen, I lack self-confidence in my abilities in doing whatever I need to do (especially when it comes to arts and crafts).

Corda
Lately I've been like Shimizu with the whole "fall asleep on your feet" thing, though that's because I spend most of my night doing things I enjoy doing, even though I could also do them throughout the day.

Neo-Ange
Again, the bookworm thing comes up for Rayne. And even though Science was one of my worst subjects in school, I really enjoyed learning different things. I was the only one in class willing to read books about what we were learning, or to pay attention to the documentaries we watched. Museum visits are one of my fave things to do, I'd even willingly visit one right now!

From:

...What the crap. Everything in your description sounds just like me. :0 ~~How did that happen?~~

From:

flight-of-ideas.livejournal.com

For Haruka I am most definitely Chi no Seiryuu of the Tenma&Kurou variety. Probably leans a little more toward Tenma. Very stubborn (maybe rigid?) and overprotective kyoudai-omoi and RAWR when angry.

I can't think of which Corda I'm like.... It'd be a weird combination that I can't figure out at the moment so I'll skip it. ^^;

From:

I guess I should answer my own poll. XD

Angelique
I unfortunately haven't played enough of the latter games to know the intricacies of the NeoAnge or the Holy Beast gentlemen enough to make an informed call, but as for our original set of Shugosei I think I'm most like Lumiale. I tread situations and relationships lightly and quietly, ~~try to~~ carry myself with grace, and treat people with kindness and gentleness. I am very happy sitting in companionable silence or quiet musical appreciation either with another person, or on my own. Like Lumiale-sama, I very, very rarely insist on my own way or have strong opinions, and hence I might seem like a pushover or appear to be easily influenced. But when it comes to those few but deep-seated convictions or decisions I've made, others will find me stubborn and steadfast (for better or for worse). ~~Lumi is a Taurus, after all~~~

Haruka1
Once upon a time Shimon would have been where I placed myself (timid but willing, both mature and childish, brave enough to take action, and able to see past any hurt and any hatred thrown at me to the person behind it), but these last couple years Tomomasa (talent obscured by laziness and indifference, lack of inspiration leading to apathy, a tendency to watch and reflect and comment upon but not to do, and a passion-seeking but passionless heart) seems a more appropriate comparison. >_> ...I hate those things about myself, to be honest. So, I hope that I can return to the Shimon model very soon. o(^-^)o

Haruka2
Possibly Hisui. While I'll step in to help where I think it's needed, I'm certainly not about to make my assistance either permanent or falsely personal. I'm not into games of power or politics, and I have no "loyalties" to speak of. Affiliations, sure, everyone's got those, but blind or fanatic (or even just over-enthused) adherence to a company or a product or a person or even a good cause is just not my thing, and I can't do it, which is probably a disappointing thing to hear for many a friend of mine. I could happily be a (wo)man of the wind and sea, with no home harbor and just my whims and my hand-picked crew (and hand-picked relationships) to shape my path.

Haruka3
Tsunemasa. Gentle, thoughtful, and always hoping and fighting for peace even if others think it's a silly and impossible dream. Someone has to do something concrete about making positive progress, even if the first efforts are doomed to failure. I also have a fierce love and pride for my younger siblings.

Haruka4
Kazahaya. Supposedly I'm easygoing and warm and older-sibling-y but also very spacey just like him. 8D. And for those of you who know Kazahaya's back story, I will tell you that I also may have been a unicorn in a former life, if this unidentifiable circular mark on my forehead has anything to say about it. ::nodnod::

Corda
Ousaki. I've been likened to Ousaki-sempai on a regular basis. ^^; I'm easygoing and friendly and patient, and I like to help people in all the little ways I can. I want to spread my gifts into the world, to people I haven't met yet, and make it a better place. It might sound cheesy, but that's my dream: I want to love the world, in ways that everyone would be able to hear and accept. If I were more gifted in music (I'd love to be...), I think Ousaki-sempai's goals/dreams and mine would be virtually the same.

Hard O.O.

I'm going to say HaruToki 1 and Yasuaki. I could expand on that and onto other series, but I think...that he's probably the closest one to me of any of them (even though that probably sounds weird).

I also will say Atsumori from 3 (aside from the being dead and cursed bit) on account of his dislike of conflict.

In terms of the other series...for now I'm not gonna go there :)
