[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

So.....how does everyone like Terra so far? Thoughts and opinions, mates?

I like him, to say it blatantly. He feels so....different from Ventus though, I have to get used to that first - but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I enjoy how he looks from your description, as I like it if a man wears long hair and/or ponytails. ^^ Add that to the uncommon height (6,5 feet? Whoahw.) and he'd be definitely someone that'd catch my eye in a crowd and make me go 'Aww, you're cute!'!

Given the interactions done and seen, he seems to be someone who's direct, isn't shy to speak his mind and doesn't enjoy if if things are ignored or swept under the carpet. That's a good and valuable trait, but it also feels like it can lead to problems if he ends up being TOO direct or accidently pushing - Shiva would quickly feel assaulted if that happens, but he seems to know himself that sometimes pacing oneself is a better action. After all, he added the question whether it's okay for her to meet Genie instead of 'simply deciding', which is thankfully noted. While seems to open and, well, direct, I never got the feeling that he meant it ill, and there's something calm and friendly behind this big guy which doesn't make him someone to be afraid of.

From the build and freakin' 5 points in Survival Skill I feel that he's tough tough tough, which is something that gives me mixed feelings, actually. On the pro side, that wonderfully matches how he's supposed to protect the group; on the down side it allured my unconscious worry whether the Game will be balanced so that I'll be able to stand a chance in Boss Battles and further Gym Battles as well. No big deal though, I'll...try to keep watch myself that I won't lagg behind too much.
EDIT: 5 Strength and 5 Votality scares me. o.o

I lol'd when you revealed that 'learning is hard for him', hints to low Insight/maybe Knowledge? He seems to be someone who rather takes direct actions instead of diplomacy, I'm curious to see how he'll give himself when we begin to travel Routes and meet wild Pokemon or important NPCs. The plus side? Shiva upgrades to the empath (in development) of the group.

How he directly had a connection to me via being so sweet towards Cottonee and revealing having a Fairy Princess but not a Fairy Type that he's sure she'd get along well with was quite fun to see, practically the same goes to Nathan and Orthos. Hopefully Terra will be able to accept that Shiva is afraid and avoiding of the dog though and not push her... I just HOPE that'll be not the case.

In short, he's a guy that I have the feeling Shiva will enjoy being around him and seek protection and if things develope into a positive direction, also comfort. Here's hoping for the slow blooming of a friendship - an uncommon friendship, but one nonetheless.
