Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Phi | Virtue's Last Reward

She's got two main sides to her. A cautious, cynical, and brutally-straight-forward side, which contrasts oddly with the playful streak she has. Remember that dorky scene with the microphone between her, Sigma, and Luna. And that Goodburger thing. Also, wordplay. All of the wordplay. Practice that shit.

She's also incredibly secretive. We spend how many hours of gameplay with her, and we don't even know if she's a college student or not? All we really know about her is that she has an extensive knowledge of physics, is adept with technology, and likes Latin and kids.

While Sigma is a 'Every life is equally important' kind of guy, Phi comes off to me more as a 'sacrifice of the one for the good of the many.' She can, and will, be ruthless to accomplish her goals if she has to be, and is good at noticing and targeting weakspots, physical and metaphorical. Phi may be tiny, but count how many people she's knocked out in both the good and bad endings.

And though she may have a ruthless streak, she is still very, very human. Unless she's been maliciously wronged (the "Elapsam semel occasionem" incident), she'll feel guilt for how she has to accomplish things (see: Luna's route, bad ending). She feels pain when terrible things happen to others, even if she's not always forefront about it, and if it does get out she shoves right back down and gets back to business, no dwelling (that scene before the Security Room, man). But god forbid if you ever betray her trust, she will destroy you.

As for post-true ending, well... we'll never really know without ZE3, but since it's unlikely we'll ever get it, watch the true end. A lot. Pay attention to what everyone says. There's a lot of subtle stuff that is alluded to that I obviously can't discuss here because it's extremely spoilerific, but pay close close attention to her dialogue, the PoV's dialogue, and the mastermind's especially.

No problem! Phi's my favorite and I don't get to words about her as much as I like because no one on my timeline played the game. Have fun with her o/
