Love the site. I think you are all awesome. My question is if you had to pick one video game character that best fits you, who would it be and why?
Thanks,
Angelkitten22
Whoa, this is a tough question! I can relate to a lot of my characters I play as and with, but the one that is the most like me is difficult to discern. I've thought about it a lot, but came up with few reasonable answers. Though, coming down to it, I'd go the easy way out and go with Pikachu. I'm loyal to my friends, full of energy, sociable, and I'm super cool. I'm kind of like a pet in that while I could do well on my own, I thrive off of my friends.
Hmm, picking just one character is kind of difficult, considering I can see traits of myself in lots of videogame characters, just not necessarily full embodiments of "Janessa-ness". So I guess if I had to pick on mine would be Talim from the Soul Calibur series, mainly because she's fast as lightning, super sweet, and not to mention Asian. Speaking of Asian, she's one of the few Pilipino characters I know of, come on videogame industry, you've gotta represent! Anyhoo, thanks for asking Angelkitten22, I enjoyed answering.
Hey there AngelKitten. Thanks for the question. This is a tough one, as my answer to it changes with time. If you had asked me this question 5 years ago, I would have most certainly said Yuna from FFX. I was shy, loyal, and loved doing things for others. Nowadays, I definitely would look at a character like Bayonetta and hope I could be that sassy, confident, and sexy! That would be my "ideal" me. If I had to narrow it down though, to one character that fits me best, it would probably be Jade from Beyond Good & Evil. I love her caring nature as well as her tough determination to protect those in need. She also fights with a really cool staff!
Hey AngelKitten! (Love the name, that's actually my name on AIM.) I have to go with the cliched answer and I would have to say Princess Peach. We are both pink-loving blonds who have a infatuation with Mario and we both tend to find ourselves in trouble and in need of rescuing.
Wow, well I don't really know who I am actually like. I would like to say Lara Croft, but she isn't exactly sassy, and I get that a lot. I'm not stoic so that eliminates Rayne, and I'm definitely not cute and cuddly, so no Princess Peach. I'm pretty smart, so perhaps more along the lines of Cortana. Do I even have to relate to a female character? How about I just stop with the conclusion that I am just a Jess?
An awesome question, usually I would expect the "if you could be any video game character" query. The one I'd have to admit to being most like is Princess Peach from the Mario series. Although I wouldn't classify myself as a Princess, per se, I'm uncontrollably loving to a fault. (See example of Peach making a cake for Bowser on his birthday even though they're sworn enemies). On the other hand, I'm also almost never at a place where you would expect me. (Sorry, but the Princess is in another castle.)
I know I am expected to say something like Lara Croft, Samus, Cortana, or something along those lines. But I guess if I had to choose, I would say Big Sister from Bioshock 2. No, I am not evil or anything, but because I am special in my own way. I was made to be who I am, and I can't change that. Plus if you get along with me, everything is great. But you don't want to mess with me. :)
