Xin Comparisons

[Nathan Branigan]

I saw this thread on 552, and I figured we haven't had it in a long time. So we might as well do it now. Who is the most like each Xin Character?

I'll just go with the ones I can tie comparisons to~

Ghai: Seth Calloway
The whole baddie-trying-to-screw-everything over image did it. And teh sparkleh around teh girlz. If it weren't the baddie image, Seth would fit under several charismatic male categories...

Andre: Tiao Lei Shen
He just wants to be left alone, dammit... Everything keeps trying to get on his nerves somehow, especially because of his reputation.

Mil: Tyler "Kyukaku" Scott
Despite Tyler making it to School Captain and now less underdog-y than ever before, they still have fluffy personalities. They also get pretty hostile towards people they hate too.

Min: NPC Tamara
Seth's shadooooowwww~~ Follows him everywhere and he never lets her do anything.

Dom: Principal Victoria Alexander
Sure, she's an occupational pothole to Valencia, Seth, and the other principals, but she means well--Really!

Silvia: NPC Annette Steadfast
I blame my radioplay where the VA (for both Annette and Silvia) kinda cemented the media-monger image...

Oton: Keith Richards
Conniving sonnuva gun... He may appear to be an average joe, but he isn't. Oton is like a blast from the past and Keith is a boomerang that keeps coming back. Same difference.

Dimir: Principal Trent Davis
Evil principal image. EVIIIIILLLL!! And they both got drawn funny in omake-related stuff.

Goth Kid: Diedrick "Dirk" Raug
Fire. And darkness. Meeeeaaaaaaannn~~ Their appearances are sporadic too.

; <--- just returned from snack time, hence the randomness

I ought to rewatch the XIN series...

I don't know if that's a compliment or not lol. Vic only wants the school to be a safer place and she has yet to help enforce it with any of her own force lol like Dom. She wont unless she has to and that will be if she really is forced into it.

And Val broke a window and beat a student near death. Vic couldn't let her get off scott free

-sigh- people don't like change...

Holy crap. Dude, the last time I've seen this thread was when KAVEH was still active on this board. I don't even think you're brother was around at the particular time the thread was made either. I remember cuz we were apart of the characters that couldn't relate to the XIN characters.

[Valencia Donahue]

Legend: Kazuki "Taiku" Akimoto
Cool headed, strong as heck, and just there. Sure, he can get a piece of the action once in a while, but it's not too often that the action comes to him.

Kiz: Tai Yang Long
Captain of the meanie school, shows up a lot, and has an ego.

Finrak: Arlen O'Grady
Chills out and does whatever as a Pillar. Made of really tough stuff. Of the Pillars of Varron Paragon, he seems to be the more level-headed type.

=P <--- will totally go for the stretch in these comparisons 'cause she CAN (and it's fun)

[Tai Yang]

Heh, 'meanie school', I might just have to use that.

[Kazuki Akimoto]

I'll be putting these in based on personality alone. Strength and/or appearance isn't going to come into the equation.

Xin: I get a vibe from Nobu that fits XIN quite a bit. Both of them are quite introverted characters and seem to have personal agendas that we're left in the dark about.

Min: Mae-Lim. Without a doubt, the most accurate for that. She's a little bad-ass and knows it.

Ralph: Oh, man. Conner, minus the few cowardly instances. I'm more thinking the overall "RAR! I'M RALPH! PAY ATTENTION TO MEH!" that was given off by him.

Dom: Big ol' PK. Both of them have heads full of crap that were eventually knocked into sense by Legend, and then there's always the German suplexes. Oh, god. Can't forget the German suplexes.

Jix: Kira, from my experiences of the character, is pretty much just a slightly younger Miss Jix. Earnest, smart, and still got a bit of backbone in them.

Hanto: Previously I would have said Darren Blayne, but he's a retired character. Still, partial point here on that.

Dimir: Since MacMillan died? Yeah, Trent Davis seems like the most apt, but I've a feeling Shuya will give us reason to reconsider that in time...

[Arlen]

Hanto:- Tiao. (Hanto was my personal favourite. Oozed confidence and had some mad fucking skills to back it up. Tiao's like Hanto, but if he used his hands too.)

Legend:- Kazuki, enough said on this point. They're the old tough level headed bastards, who know how to mix it up when they need to, and when they don't they're sociable and you almost forget they can crack skulls.

Kiz:- Tai Yang. Valencia pretty much nailed the reasons why.

Ghai: Seth. Again nailed by Valencia.

Andrea: P.K. Walks a knife edge between being a nice guy and a loose cannon. Hard as a coffin nail to boot.

I've got to head out. I'll be sure to add to this list.
