Replying to these both <3

Let's do Kevin first.

I admit his posts are a lot of him being furious (this guy doesn't have a lot of friends more like frienmies), however if you look at others he interacts with on their posts you can see a caring side to Kevin. He was worried about Sasuke, he was of showing it is just...different. He's expressed interest to help those who are injured numerous times and has gone on a few rescue missions. I'm not going to point fingers, but of course plotting sometimes just DOESN'T work. I've expressed getting him involved in serious plots numerous times but unless both sides agree and act out...well, there ya' go. You may have not realized but since Rinali has disappeared his interest in women has sorta...plunged. She was a big part of CR for Kevin in this RP. The affections they felt for each other was mutual and Rinali came onto him first (usually not the way it works, lucky him, huh?). Please try to remember Kevin has a small canon background of knowledge known about him, ad-libs in-game of him making smartass remarks (even when his life is on the line), etc as well as "character items" found in-game that belong to him is how he is being played and being turned into a character that has more depth.

Ai-Ai.

She sees herself as "dirtied" even though she is a virgin. The things she has exchanged for money go from dates to uh--"bodily fluids" and many other things that could scar a young girl for life. She is materialistic, she wants to be cute...and she wants to be liked. Guys like cute and trendy girls--or so she thinks. There is a layer deeper there and few have seen it Adstringendum. Opening up to people she trusts is difficult and hides it with a barrier of flirtation and giggles. May I recommend checking earlier [offline] logs for instance with Al? She's completely broken down in front of him.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND MILA.

Mila is innocent, but she's developed in her time during Adstringendum. A big part of her knowledge of knowing what sex is is thanks to Alle, Lockon, Mello (especially, dear god) and Juke. Lately,I am trying to find other ways to play her other parts (Ten playthroughs of Hotel Dusk. Damn I should know it by heart...). Even with mentality I'd see her as having puppy love crushes...and yes, she does. She has lots of them. I don't think she understands "love" as a whole. Yet again, I play from a small canon and a character who when she finally gets the chance to speak in game doesn't get a lot of screen-time to do so.

I'm sorry if this comes off sounding mean...But Mila and Kevin especially unless you play the games I think it's difficult to understand them. Wikipedia doesn't tell you everything and we all have our takes on characters.

Any serious plotting for Mila, Kevin or Ai-Ai would be gladly appericated. ...And without your particpation in interacting with them if your not sure, maybe you should attempt? It's roleplay. Let's have fun. <3

My two cents go.

I'll take what you two have said. Thank you very much.
