(Anonymous) 2012-03-27 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)Any opinions on her personality or ideas on how to handle her (lack of) history would be great! I'd probably take her from post-game.

Firstly, A good chunk of what we see of Maya throughout the game is a facade. While there are touches of her real personality, for the most part she's acting a role she found in a book (specifically, she's meant to be acting like Jane Maxwell from WA1). Her reasoning for this is made clear in the game after the Prophets get a hold of her, so I'd definitely play very close attention to those scenes in the game. They reveal a lot about her. If she's not putting on a persona, she lacks confidence in herself.
Secondly, while she is Virginia's foil, the two also have a lot in common. Maya is just more traditional when it comes to the ways of Drifters, modeling Calamity Jane once again to a large extent. It seems cold, but it's more that she doesn't want people like Virginia getting themselves killed because of their ideals. She'd be the sort to talk someone out of pulling off Stupid Shonen Hero tropes, even if she performs a few feats like these herself later in the game (evidence of Virginia's persona rubbing off on her).
... I can't think of anything else relevant to say, so hopefully that helps.

The second is that she's kind of emotionally stunted. She grew up thinking she couldn't feel, so she rejected a lot of her feelings in a kind of unhealthy way. She's more likely to run off and be alone then explain what she's feeling to someone. She doesn't like troubling people, but she's kind of childish so she doesn't realize when she's being selfish.
that's all I can think of atm, but I'll return to this is something comes to me.

(Anonymous) 2012-03-28 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)Between the first and second games, she learned something she didn't have much of: patience. This is what allows her to wait. But she also says she is DONE waiting, because Sora and Riku are her MOST important people. She is willing to do a lot for them, and Kairi is extremely determined. Perhaps the only reason she let the boys go without her is she would know she's not ready for the exam.
She is flawed, though. While she is brave, this can tend toward recklessness. Running off into the darkness, facing Ansem and Saix with her fists, jumping down to face Heartless with no weapon...
Um... Besides this, anything specific you'd like to know?

Re: Finnick Odair | The Hunger Games Trilogy
(Anonymous) 2012-03-30 01:16 am (UTC)(link)- finnick, imo, is not the type who would blatantly lie, but dances around his true intentions with half-truths and careful withholding of information. think of how he answers katniss when they first meet, his line about dealing with secrets: it's true, but the way he phrases it and his body language lead katniss to think he's being somewhat facetious.
- he doesn't let things bother him very much if he can help it. he knows how to prioritize rationality over emotions, but this doesn't dehumanize him at all - he doesn't let his feelings cloud his judgment, but when he has the opportunity to express himself he does. think about his reaction to mags's sacrifice and the jabberjays. also, compare finnick in catching fire, where he seems to mostly be thinking "now, what's the next step in the plan?" to finnick in mockingjay, where he finally has the time and space to let himself break down.
- on that note, he's only human and he has his limits. while there are clearly people he cares about, annie is the only one we see in the series who can really make him break down.
- at heart he has good intentions, but based on what he says about nobody accidentally winning the hunger games (or something like that, i don't remember the exact line), he probably would dip into the moral gray/black zone if the ends justify the means. but only if the ends justify the means: in mockingjay, annie says finnick would never support a final hunger games, since... what's the point, really, except to exact some sort of petty revenge?

(Anonymous) 2012-04-02 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)So far my main issue seems to be working up a consistent voice for the kid. Yeah, this is pretty much my first time attempting a silent protagonist so I'd love pointers from anyone with that sort of experience. Or heck, any advice in general!
Still stuck on whether to take him from the original or remake, though I don't think it'd make TOO big of a difference for his character? At least not from what I've noticed. Like I said, any bits of advice would be awesome.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-03 05:16 am (UTC)(link)I guess how mean/nice you want make him really depends on what point in canon you're taking him from. You have a lot more leeway if it's during the height of his success or right after the Lorax leaves as opposed to when he's just starting out as a wandering ~dreamer~. Just keep in mind that he's not A Nice Person and you should be okay.
