Guy starts with 10. Steve: Yay! 10 already! RL-Steve: This is going to be a looong test. ** APPEARANCE ** Guy has realistic physique, +3 Guy has long hair past shoulders, +3 ...and wears it in a ponytail/braid, +1 ...and it's also past his waist, +2 Steve: Damn! It almost *is* past my waist! Can I get this last one on a technicality? RL-Steve: No. Steve: Drat. Guy's eye height is roughly level with... ...the average girl's face, +2 Steve: Heheh. Being shorter than average means I can get this one easy. ^_^_v Ann: But what about you and Hitomi-san? Your eyes are level with her- Hitomi: I'm hardly average. Now be quiet, I want to see how Steve goes. Steve - 19 ** INTELLIGENCE ** Guy is dumber than a sack of hammers, -8 ...but is still sweet, regain +4 ...but still thinks he's a catch, further -4 ...but not for lack of trying, regain +2 Guy is sharp and quick-thinking, but has no book-smarts, +2 Guy is well-read and informed, but has no common sense, +2 Guy is moderately intelligent and knowledgeable, +4 Guy is very intelligent and knowledgeable, +4 ...but is modest about it, +4 ...but lets it go to his head, -6 Guy is artistic and/or creative, +4 Guy is a profound deep thinker/philosopher type, +4 Steve: 9_9 What? All of them at once? RL-Steve: I'm trying to work out how to classify you without my obvious bias showing through. Steve: Obvious, it's the 'very intelligent and knowledgeable', the 'is modest', and the 'artistic and/or creative'. Ann: Nonono, it's the no common sense one and the artistic and/or creative one. It fits your constant nigh-useless Fire Developments of the Week perfectly. Steve: I have plenty of sense. Ann: You were once going to plug a volcano with a giant hammer. Steve: There were extenuating circumstances. Ann: You fought against Apollo, who's two Ranks above you. Steve: Well, someone needed to distract him. Ann: You touched the Spear of Fire even though you *knew* it would react violently, and ended up almost dying. Steve: Oh all *right*, I'll take the 'well-read and informed but no common sense' one. Do I get to pass Go? RL-Steve: No. Steve - 25 ** ATTIRE AND FASHION ** Guy dresses in a way that's practical but boring, +2 Steve: What? I should get the uniform one! Jo: You only wear the Zuni's uniform when you're working at Zuni's. You wear your boring shirt and pants outfit the rest of the time. Steve: I *really* want to land in Nerima so that my RL can see about getting me a change of clothes. Steve - 27 ** PERSONALITY ** Guy is easy-going and agreeable, +6 Guy keeps his promises, +5 Guy is kind and polite, +4 Guy refuses to fight girls, -8 Guy dislikes fighting/killing, +4 ...but will still stand up for himself, loved ones, or his beliefs, further +4 Steve: I'm sure there should be more. RL-Steve: Maybe. But those options like 'mopey and depressive' seem to be in general outlook. Your general outlook is 'easy-going and agreeable'. You gettin' that one, boyo. Ann: When did he refuse to fight a girl? RL-Steve: Back during the Weed Whacker Tournament. He was supposed to fight Kun-chan and refused. Ann: ...oh yes, that's right. Hitomi: But he fought against me and a whole lot of others including Amy that one time at Zuni's, and then again later in NY- RL-Steve: He was berserking at the time. That tends to overcome restraints. Steve - 42 ** RESPONDS TO DANGER ** By facing it honourably, +4 By protecting loved ones, +4 ...even when they don't need it, -4 ...and people he doesn't necesarily like, +4 By making jokes, +2 Steve: Pretty straightforward, this section. RL-Steve: Yeppers. Steve: No stock footage? RL-Steve: We aren't even animated, and I've tried to avoid stock footage-ism anyway. And besides, you need a break with this test. (To himself) Especially with the beating you're sure to take in the next section. Steve - 52 ** ROMANCE ** Guy is in love, +4 ...with someone who doesn't love him, -6 ...but at least he realises they don't, +4 Guy refuses to let his hormones think for him, +4 ...but thinks too much, -2 Guy is chivalrous, +2 Guy is at the apex of a love triangle, +6 ...but only because he can't make up his mind, Tenchi, -8 Guy blushes and gets embarassed around his love interest(s), +4 kawaii bonus. Guy is rejected by his love interest and... ...talks it over with them or a friend, +4 Steve: ... RL-Steve: ... Ann: ... Hitomi: Is something wrong? RL-Steve: Steve got *twelve* points in the Romance section! That's one of the seven signs! The world is ending! RUN FOR THE HILLS! ARMAGEDDON IS NIGH! (Runs for the hills) Steve: Mweheheheheheheheheh. And once I eventually get the triangle with me, Chyron, and Hitomi sorted out, I can probably get at least three more points for the rejection section, too! Hitomi: (Dangerous glare) Who are you going to choose, anyway? Steve: ...meep. I'll tell you later, In Continuity. Steve - 64 ** GUY DIES ** Saving or avenging somebody, +4 ...who didn't need/want him to, -10 For what he believes in, +6 But gets better, -10 Steve: ... Ann: Back down to 54? Steve: (beating head on wall) It's not fair! Steve - 54 (Chibi-RL-Steve: HI! It's me, Chibi-RL-Steve, here for a flashback sequence. Only the flashback machine is broken. (Kicks flashback machine in cute annoyance) For those who are wondering, yes, Steve did die / came close enough to count as dying, once. You see, Jei was getting chased by a huge monster, and Steve realised the monster wasn't after Jei but the spear Jei was carrying! So he went and kicked the spear out of Jei's hand and the spear didn't like this very much. Steve got thrown off balance by the resultant explosion, and was rather nastily skewered.) ** OTHER STUFF ** Guy is gainfully employed, +6 ...in a way that involves a uniform, +2 Guy can play a musical instrument/sing, +4 Guy has martial arts, mecha piloting or other fighting skills, +4 Ann: Shouldn't he get the "...but they are the focal point of his life, -5", as well? Steve: It only *seems* that way because most of my appearances lately have been in fighting sequences, or short introductions to fighting sequences. Ann: No, really, the Fire *is* becoming the focal point of your life. What about all those Fire Developments of the Week? Steve: I don't want it to! I just want to get back to Nerima so I can stop harping on about it all the time! RL-Steve: (Coming back from the hills) The world didn't end after all. (Looks at current progress of test) What? You didn't get the "...but they are the focal point of his life, -5" bit? Steve: It only *seems* that way because- RL-Steve: You gettin' that one, boyo. You *definitely* gettin' that one. ...but they are the focal point of his life, -5 Steve: It's not fair. -_- Guy has magical/psionic powers, +4 Guy cares about foreplay, +4 Steve: (mind fritzes upon seeing the question) Ann: ^^; I don't think this is going to apply at him until he actually gets a girlfriend. Steve: (mind still fritzing) Ann: ^^;;; And definitely not until he lightens up some. Steve: (mind still fritzing) Guy would suit Aburatsubo/Hotohori's original voice, +6 Steve: Yes! PLEASE let Koyasu Takehito do my voice! The man can ACT! Ann: I believe he's already doing Wing's voice. Steve: Oh. Yeah, right. I think my current reccomended VA is the one for Gourry. RL-Steve: Incidentally, for those keeping count, this +6 and the previous +4 aren't being counted, they're just here for Steve's comments. ...And, finally, in tradition, Guy has a rabid fangirl on the net who is willing to napalm the house of anybody who dares insult him (or will completely disregard his past/personality/current relationships to write him into yaoi), -2 per fangirl. Steve: Do I have rabid fangirls? RL-Steve: Well, in continuity, I believe you have at least two who *have* shown up in GRIT. Steve: They don't count! They'll take my score down! RL-Steve: We'll do a with and without score, 'kay? Now, let's see... FINAL SCORE: 69 (without fangirl question) 65 (with fangirl question, conservative estimate) Steve: Yay! I got 69! Go me! Ann: (blink) That's two above my score for the Cute Girl Test. RL-Steve: I think my bias for my characters is clearly coming through. Rest of GRIT: (Rolls eyes) Obviously.
