[OOC] Doll Master

[VitaVitaAR]

At the moment, we're waiting until I sort out how I'm going to start this, and a few more bios. ^^;

[Minder]

So, looking at the remaining potential match-ups... For Isra, right now Diego is her only option, and I'm not sure if they'd work together. She's pretty quiet, he might see her as boring. EDIT: On the other hand, her schtick is that she's a wanderer in a cyberpunky urban wasteland - she thinks on her feet rather than meticulously planning things and she'd find social ambition to be kind of amusing.

For Erika, Gateway might be interesting? There's some contrast in their personalities there.

[Sickle-cell]

How likely is Doll vs Doll combat?

[Dante the Shinigami]

Xenophane is cool! I think it'd be pretty fun to have the shy intellectual matched up with the slightly sadistic doll. Don't worry, he wouldn't kill you! *Totally trying to match up his character*

Looks like a boring matchup, to me.

Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane!

@Sickle-cell: Pretty likely. Some of our Dolls are short-tempered, some are pretty nasty, some are kind of yandere...

"Yandere"?????

[VitaVitaAR]

Dead Heart Shooter. Dead Heart Shooter is very yandere.

[Sickle-cell]

And Sickle-Cell will kill anything that doesn't amuse or interest him =P

[Dante the Shinigami]

I still would like to know what "yandere" means. Also, Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane!

[VitaVitaAR]

Oh, um... basically it means... extremely obsessive, insane love.

In this case, DHS is like that for her Doll Master, Ada.

[Dante the Shinigami]

Oh, thanks! Did you make that word up? Just wonderin'.

[VitaVitaAR]

Um, no, it's a pretty well-known term in the Japanese media fandom. Um, came from Japanese fans originally and spread from there.

[Rin]

It's... A very commonly used word in anime fandom, actually. Has been for years. It's a play on the even more commonly used "tsundere".

Nope, it been around for a while as Japanese-ish anime/manga culture thing...search 'tv tropes'.

[Raineh Daze]

The easy thing, of course, is to just google 'yandere'.

uhhhhhh guys?

Yandere and Tsundere aren't "Commonly used terms" or "Plays" on each other. Yandere and Tsundere translate directly into something like Possessive Love and Violent Love respectively. I don't know the actual translations but they're not just sayings, they're real japanese words.

[Dante the Shinigami]

I figured it was Japanese. And by the way, Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane! Erika and Xenophane!

Nope, it's just combining bits of other terms. They don't translate like that.
