Checking both major characters, just for fun.

I'm not sure whether these are going by appearance or by actual age. Appearance would mean a +3 for Scott and -3 for Sumire, actual would mean a 0 for Scott and +3 for Sumire. I'll count actual. >Guy's eye height is roughly level with... > ...the average girl's face, +2 Scott: 28 (closer to the top of her head, actually, but not so tall that he's actually looking -over- them) Sumire: 26 >Guy undergoes physical transformation, +2 > ...which is even cuter than he is, +2 > ...and can't control it, -2 Scott: 29 (half penalty for partial control) Sumire: 30 (nothing says "even cuter" has to be a *good* thing...) >** INTELLIGENCE ** > >Guy is dumber than a sack of hammers, -8 > ...but is still sweet, regain +4 > ...but not for lack of trying, regain +2 Sumire: 28 >Guy is moderately intelligent and knowledgeable, +4 Scott: 33 >Guy is artistic and/or creative, +4 Scott: 37 Sumire: 32 >Guy is a profound deep thinker/philosopher type, +4 Sumire: 36 (granted, it's a very strange philosophy) >** ATTIRE AND FASHION ** >Guy dresses in a way that's practical but boring, +2 Scott: 39 >Guy wears a uniform, +6 Sumire: 42 (two of them, in fact...) >Guy dresses as a girl, +4 Sumire: 46 >** PERSONALITY ** > >Guy is not afraid to cry in front of others, +10 Scott: 49 Sumire: 56 >Guy is easy-going and agreeable, +6 Scott: 55 >Guy is sweet and emotional, +6 Sumire: 62 >Guy is calm, cool and collected, +4 Scott: 59 >Guy is arrogant or pompous, -6 Scott: 53 >Guy keeps his promises, +5 > ... and threats, -2 > ... even when they no longer matter, -3 Scott: 56 Sumire: 62 >Guy is kind and polite, +4 > ...even to people he doesn't like, further +2 > ...to the point of stupidity, -4 Scott: 60 Sumire: 64 >Guy dislikes fighting/killing, +4 > ...but will still stand up for himself, loved ones, or his beliefs, further >+4 Sumire: 72 >** RESPONDS TO DANGER ** > >By facing it honourably, +4 Sumire: 76 >By facing it using every dirty trick in the book, -2 > ...but still looks cool, +4 Scott: 62 >By protecting loved ones, +4 > ...even when they don't need it, -4 > ...and people he doesn't necesarily like, +4 > ...but only because it's part of his job, -2 Scott: 64 Sumire: 78 >By running away or hiding, +2 Sumire: 80 >By making jokes, +2 > ...BAD jokes, -4 Scott: 62 >By making long-winded speeches, -4 Sumire: 76 >** ROMANCE ** > >Guy is in love, +4 > ...with someone who doesn't love him, -6 > ...but at least he realises they don't, +4 > ...but pretends he isn't, -7 > ...because she's an ice-cold bitch, regain +4 Scott: 66 (although I'm not sure whether the "doesn't love him" and/or "pretends he isn't" apply, given there are no clear indications either way at the moment...) Sumire: 78 (losing points for Tsubasa, how humiliating ^_-) >Guy refuses to let his hormones think for him, +4 > ...but thinks too much, -2 Scott: 68 >Guy isn't afraid to show affection in public/in front of other guys, +4 Scott: 72 Sumire: 82 >Guy is chivalrous, +2 Scott: 74 >Guy is at the apex of a love triangle, +6 Scott: 80 >Guy doesn't discriminate between straight, gay and bi, +6 Sumire: 86 >Guy blushes and gets embarassed around his love interest(s), +4 kawaii >bonus.

Sumire: 128 >Guy is a GIRL, -10 Sumire: 118 Final scores: Scott 104, Sumire 118. Which is extremely scary. Now I have to try not to think about that too much. ;p
