How's My Driving | January 2014

WELCOME WELCOME, THE QUARTER QUELL HAS ARRIV-- wait a minute, wrong script. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! It's that time of the (new) year again! Read on for the details of this, the newest of our quarterly HMDs.

How's My Driving?
While each and every character must have an HMD page available, we offer a gamewide HMD once every calendar quarter. This is an opportunity to get together and discuss IC interpretations and portrayals in a respectful, beneficial fashion. In a nutshell, it's a chance to see how we're doing in the grand scheme of things.

There are a few ground rules to cover off before we can start:

• Participation in the quarterly HMD is 100% optional.
  
• Be respectful, anon or not. It's a lot easier to give and receive crit if all parties are making it a discussion of it rather than an argument.
  
• IP logging is off and anonymous commenting is on. You can offer crit signed-in if you like, but the option's there.
  
• New! We ask that each concrit provided consist of one positive and one constructive bit of feedback. Bring up something that you like about that player, and in the same comment provide something that you feel they could work on. This is to help round out the feedback and provide a better experience all around.
  

That's it, that's all!

And, to make things easier, here's a handy-dandy codeset:

<big><b><i>Player Name</i></b></big> <i>Character Name:</i> <i>Canon:</i> <i>User Name:</i> <I>Focus:</i> Optional. Do you have particular concerns about your portrayal that you'd like to be the focus of crit? You can link any threads you'd like a second opinion on here. If you're looking for structural feedback, or would prefer things like grammar not be mentioned, put it here.

HINA

Character Name: Zatanna Zatara
Canon: Young Justice
User Name: backwordscompatible
Focus: None that I can particularly think of at this time. She's easily the most involved character, so I'd like to think her voice and storyline are the most fluid, since there's so much constantly going on with her.

Character Name: Midii Une
Canon: Gundam Wing: Episode Zero
User Name: unetrustworthy
Focus: CR Opportunities. Midii is extremely introverted and very reserved when it comes to new people, but I hope I've managed to get her in with enough reasonably close CR that I can show off more sides of her. The way I write her has evidence in her limited canon, but because of said limited canon, she does occasionally feel like an OC, so I'm often curious as to how people find her development. Does she come off as a strong character? Does she make sense? Is she interesting to read/tag?

Character Name: Aya
Canon: Green Lantern: The Animated Series
User Name: looksfine
Focus: Aya is easily the most shaky of the three. I haven't played her non-evil version in a long time, and am still trying to find that balance between sweet young girl full of curiosity and wonder at everything Life, and the seasoned warrior who won't take crap from anybody who tries to take advantage of her supposed naivete. Who also just happens to be a living robot. It's not easy, but I'm working on it tag by tag.
