→ Feel free to link your personal HMDs if you would like, just in case someone doesn't want to use the mass HMD post.
→ this is more for actual critique and discussion. Please don't just blindly praise a person or just call them horrible. If someone's doing a wonderful job, you can tell them, just tell them why, or even where they're showing off bonus perks. If someone's doing a not-so-wonderful job, tell them why, give them things to improve on if you can. Examples, links, things that can give them something to work on. Meaning, no bashing, flaming, or nasty behavior. Please keep it civil.
→ Anonymous is turned ON! But note: anonymous is a privilege, not a right. If it's being abused to bash players, please be sure to let one of us know and we'll step in or freeze threads if necessary. If anonymous is abused too much, it will be turned off for the next HMD.
→ For this HMD, IP logging has been turned ON. If dicussion remains civil, it will be removed next time.
→ Don't take this all too personally! Remember that roleplay is a game, and crit is supposed to help, not make you feel horrible. No one is perfect, we've all got room to improve. Please keep that in mind.

No real concerns. Just keeping on keeping on with this guy.

Probably needs another canon review and more activity. Have been considering a canon update.

Just wondering, but is there a reason why Roxas is so intent on being the Champion?

I'm not trying to be rude or anything! It's just something I've been curious about for a while, since I always figured Sora was more the type to want to be the very best, whereas Roxas from KH2 struck me as more laid back and just wanting to live a normal life. I admit that I haven't kept a super close eye on his developments, so maybe I'm missing something.

Good question.

His desire to become the champion came about after he heard about Red. For him, it's like the ultimate expression of proving his existence. While Roxas has developed enough to know that he does deserve to exist and belong in the world, becoming the Champion would be like the icing on the cake. Roxas does have a competative side to him, after all, as seen in the struggle tournament, and I think he does like being on top. Also, I think after seeing other trainers, both Route characters and NPCs, going for the badge challenge, he accepts that as a norm of this world.

That being said, Roxas isn't in any rush to get all the badges and fight the Elite four and all that (after all it took him two years to get all the Johto badges). He's content with travelling around and seeing the sites and catching pokemon.

I admit it's also a device for me to prevent stagnency and provide some motivation for Roxas and what he's doing in Johto.

So yeah, I hope that made sense and I managed to clarify that for you, anon. Thanks for the question.
