The Day of Thunder

Just imagine Chuchu on a motorcycle. Then you know what you must vote for.

As I noted when I MMed his dream, I think you got an awful lot of pathos out of the guy, considering his baseline "gimmick." Like, genuinely, well done. Sorry he never got to do a proper combat? Thank you for noticing! It was my attempt to jumpstart some sort of development for him when I didn't de...

I am genuinely sad that Makime will only remember Ranmaru as 'that shirtless Dragon guy'. I'm honestly not sure how she would react to actually speaking with him! Ah I was very inactive myself. I missed many a bathing session with the female characters of the cast. Ranmaru's reaction to Makime... W...

Oh Ranmaru. The source of many good laughs this game. :lol: I'm glad to see that he and Satsuki went from hating eachother's presence to... tolerating one another when Ranmaru showed some growth. He still hasn't apologised for saying she should be a concubine though. :P How much will Ranmaru hate S...

I'm really sad I didn't get to interact with Ranmaru, I wonder how Naraku and him would have meshed. They did cross paths in the beginning, though it was so close to the actual game start that the thread kind of fizzled out. My general vibe was fizzling out for things I did. Ah well. Hmm, I think R...

FORM QUESTIONS INBOUND! 1. Biggest curveball Ranmaru threw you? 2. Biggest curveball the game threw you? 3. Favorite moment? 4. Biggest missed opportunity? 5. Any secrets Ranmaru has that never came up? 1. Ha! I did not think of him changing his ways in the least. But I'm a sucker for development a...

It must have been fun to change a character so drastically via so much time.

Besides the obvious choice in Hida, who was her favorite Kami of them all? Could she have ever followed another?

"Ranmaru." Anjing turns with a slight frown. "You are a strange man, I do not understand all your ideas, I do not like all your ideas." She steps forward to the kneeling dragon. "But. I do not doubt you are a good man, and a strong one. A hero like any who fought in this miserable village to save t...

Hikaru's goal since before the start of Dawn 3 has been to cure Doji of her ailment. I don't like the Driven advantage (or is it a disadvantage? Whatever), but Hikaru would have absolutely qualified for it. In Dawn 3, he got to push an investigation that led to players figuring out some of the stuf...

Oh that's delightful. What inspired Ranmaru's concept for you? What did you have the most fun with re: playing him? I wish I had access to the document right now. But part of it started when I read a text about how there was a "Northern" and "Southern" mode of loving, aka heterosexual and homosexua...

Actually the manliest of us all.

Since Kenji represented Honor, what do you think that means? Both IC and OOC?

If only we did more together. It could have been glorious, great, superb...

Since you mentioned it in your opening, what parts of Hikaru do you feel didn't really come up?

The Little Dragon...

Well, here's a question for you: did you imagine that, in your head canon, that Satsuki would end up being the heir? Or is it still a nebulous decision?

Amusingly enough, I always pictured Ranmaru as wearing a kimono but having the top half dangling around, like with the sleeves tucked into the waist. I just spent too much time describing his glistening muscles...

"Don't worry, I'm here to defend the Empire!" Ranmaru, who had been so busy trying to remember how to secure knots on his armor, ran on in just in time to see Anjing absolutely obliterate the Harbinger. At first, his mind dismissed it as a woman crushing a woman, a trivial affair. But he had been do...

Just to go back a bit, this arrangement is fine by me:

Actives
Reiko Ohta
Kaijarisugyo
Haka Tae-soo
Anjing

Alternates
Ranmaru
Sugri
Jiyo Sora
Chuchu

It's more dramatic if Ranmaru arrives on the scene a little later.

Do the Alternates for the Harbinger event also roll Stealth? I kind of assumed that any alternate arrived into the scene "just in time" if things went wrong.

"I'll get you back, evil woman!" Ranmaru shouted, shaking his fist. As he did so, he got a brilliant idea by looking at his bulging bicep. He slicked back his hair and walked towards the villagers. "Why continue to serve such a pathetic creature who would not stand by you at her so-called hour of vi...

I also just realized his armor would make it 7k4-5... Which is a lot worse!
