EVALUATE MY BATTLING!

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is encouraged, not mandatory. We will not penalize you for not using it.
→ 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.
→ 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.

Clive Dove | Professor Layton | vengefulyears | HMD

Just a little note that while I'm off hiatus now, Clive is staying away from the network for the rest of the week because he's having ~issues~ right now, but next week I plan on tagging as many posts as I can and hopefully get a post up for him, too, since he hasn't had one since January and I'm really sorry about that; I don't have any ideas yet, but I'm doing my best to think of something.

tl;dr I realize my activity has been a major issue lately and I'm going to fix that very soon. Please let me know if there are any other concerns you have, though!

I know speed is kind of an issue, and I've been trying to work on that. Seriously, though, anything you've got-I wanna be the very best etc.

I think you need to work on activity with Layton, particularly when it comes to your castmates. Due to being the protagonist in the series, he's a large presence in their lives, and you tend to not respond to them at all. This leaves them to do a lot of guesswork about exactly what their relationship with their mentor/friend/rival/whatever is actually supposed to be, and no CR to guide them either way. There's no IC reason why he wouldn't try to contact any of them at all, and yet there's been little to no threading going on; this is particularly bad with Emmy, who has closer CR with Descole than she does with Layton at this point.

➥ Isaac McDougal | Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood | glaciates
➥ Wheatley | Portal | brilliantideas
➥ Uryuu Ryuunosuke | Fate/Zero | greatestcool

Okay, so I know I'm kind of the slowest thing ever. I have moments where I want to tag all the things!! and then other times I just won't do tags at all. I'm working on it, I promise!

I think my biggest issue right now is Wheatley's voice. I'm not sure I'm doing it right, tbqh. Any help with that would be appreciated!

[(Anonymous)]

Admittedly if you're worried about characterisation as Wheatley, I'd probably suggest reading some interviews (on anything) from his VO, Stephen Merchant as, apart from being a living organism, I've seen very little difference between the two.

Other than that I can't say much; I've never read/played/watched Fate/Zero, I've not read far enough into the FMA Manga (or seen any of Brotherhood for that matter) for Isaac crit, and I think, for what little they gave Archer, you have him spot on, or at least, you aren't heinously out of character with what you've done with him.

The friendliness with Kimblee confused me a bit before I looked into it- after doing so I can see has come alot from their interactions, and I'll admit I can't remember enough of the original series to blast it as OOC. If it is an OOC behaviour for Archer, I'll just say you cover it well, and really, it's very hard to stay entirely true to character when surrounded by overly cute, loveable critters.

All in all I have no complaints. It's be nice to seem him be a little more nefarious though, if only because that's the one thing I do remember him doing other than becoming robo-Archer

You actually make me want to watch 5-D, which is impressive, because I hate what I saw of the main cast with a passion.

Yuugi | Yu-Gi-Oh!DM | Journal Links

I've been slow the last month and a bit, but that will hopefully change soon.

I've also just realised I don't have an HMD, which is weird because I was sure I had one, but oh well; You can have at me here.
