Dal's playing someone who actually isn't completely awful for once
Hey there!
This is Dal again, adding yet another to the idiot brigade that is my roster in this game - I currently have Solf J Kimblee (FMA manga), Jean Descole (Professor Layton), GLaDOS (Portal), and Tokiomi Tohsaka (Fate/Zero); tonight I'm adding Zulf, from Bastion.
For those not familiar with the canon, Bastion is an indie adventure/RPG game with adorable graphics that explores happy topics like racism, genocide and the effect that literally having one's world destroyed has on a person. Plot-wise, you and three other people totally just survived an earth-shattering 'kaboom' that completely destroyed the city of Caelondia; as the protagonist - joy of joys - you get to do all the work and go collect magical artifacts to help restore the Bastion, which is a combination safe haven/general world-saving device in the case of...well. An earth-shattering 'kaboom'.
With both the game info and my current roster up there, it may be surprising to the canon-blind that Zulf is actually not an inherently shitty person - he's a peace ambassador striving to improve relations between two warring races, promoting peace, tolerance and understanding. He's a little abrasive in some ways, in that he's very blunt and what he thinks often comes directly out of his mouth, but he was raised to be a gentleman and he tries to treat others with respect, regardless of conflicting ideals or opinions. Of course, the canon itself being one in which Absolutely No One Can Have Nice Things, Zulf still does have his share of issues...okay, he has a lot of issues.
A lot. Of issues.
...come on, you seriously didn't think I could play someone who's all sweetness and light, did you?
But! Outside of the guy basically being a bit of a hot mess on the inside, the earlier point still stands - he's not a terrible person overall, and he generally adheres to the basic principle of doing unto others, as it were. He's a breeder, starting out with a Chinchou, of all things; as always, I can be reached on AIM at AsylumBred (I'm almost always on). Please add the following, or play the hover-click game!
