I'm staring directly at those lime green eyes

I have to go to sleep soon, but tomorrow I should be available just in case.
Also, I revived my thread with Amande, so if you could anarchive it, it'd be great :D

[Lancer]
I'm not too sure. It might be a tie between her and Dion, but I'm honestly not sure. Maybe it'd depend on the area (personality, backstory, my ability to write them, etc.). Plus there's the difference between personas, as you already know.
She does feel more like a brioche person than a cookie person. What's her opinion on oatmeal raisin cookies? Or walnut cookies? (I wanted to ask about more types but I legit forgot the names lol.)
Also I'm sorry for you trying to ask insightful questions while I do this sort of thing lol.
Also random but I never thought she'd be a chocolate person xD, though if you'd ask me I dunno what she'd like. I think there's some kind of packed food that I think she'd like, but I forget the name. It's kinda dense. (I know this isn't helping anything btw, I'm just running off with what's on my mind.) 
If you were curious, the wood question was probably 'cause late-night me got kinda nerdy and started thinking about the varnish on wooden instruments. Violin wood and zither wood is so cool to look at. :3 Anyways, thanks for putting in the effort to answer my dumb questions xD. Really appreciate it.
(*intentionally does not tag Archer*) I dunno, he might be interesting to be. (*making fun of your typo btw*)

[Rider]
For some reason I had the impulse to say "I bully all my characters, he's not special" but that's a bit too mean even for me xD
If you were wondering, I think I mostly let Saber off the hook for bullying (they make their own life harder lol, what should I do? Help?) but then I kinda just pwned Archer and Rider lol. Hilarious.
I,,, I dunno xD. He's supposed to be handsome, ig. xD Also I can't answer on Berserker, you were the one who called his GGaD persona "husbando" (and caught me off-guard btw xD, so much so that it's still funny to me). I think the general intention was to make him good-looking in a traditionally cool way? 
I like how we somehow agreed to pwn this pairing with problems that they don't deserve. Canonically Rider is supposed to be prodigious when it comes to tactics/strategizing and making the best out of the worst situations, but that's kinda theoretical because I suck at doing the same thing. Anyways, the point of his character is kinda supposed to be that in this verse, with him not being the best or most impressive but still living up to the definition of a hero. Again, theoretically. ("Theoretically" isn't supposed to emphasize any weakness on his part or anything, it's just me being unconfident of myself xD.)
What you described was a headcanon actually, but yeah, GGaD him not having a good time. The writing that you mentioned was him getting targeted and cursed in his dreams. :') (Please do not reread it. It was very...ugh lol.)
Tbh now that I think about it, the funny thing is that even in GGaD, what I mention/write about him makes him seem less impressive than how he actually is. He's been fighting for at least 1,000 years pretty much every single day, so he deserves some leeway. Idk how impressive that actually is in comparison to other fictional characters, but yeah, I do think Lianhuan looking up to him has very valid reasons. 
Anyhow, me trying to give him his due credit aside, I think Rider is a weird character for me. He existed before Lianhuan and is (like Lianhuan) basically a Galaxian prototype of sorts, though they're for sure not the same person. But I do seem to specialize writing energetic characters more, and I think it's easy even for me to kinda skip past him, or not characterize him like I would like. So I hope I'll be able to improve on that front in this AU. :D

I don't think you should be worrying about that when you're literally talking to someone who characterizes fluff as "food, games, and cutting hair" xD. (Also hugs and bonding when applicable...but it hasn't been too applicable for a while now, unfortunately.) It's also funny 'cause I'm pretty sure it works for half of my Servant characters at least. Maybe it's a hospitality rule that could work in this AU? I mean, Sunny is literally gonna take Caster to breakfast (and lunch), idk what else to say to demonstrate this xD.
More cursed response: "It works in dating games."
I'm not sure, honestly. Maybe he'll wear clothes with red accents, but I've never gotten a good handle on his clothing preferences (while he lives in his sector at least, for this AU it's actually a bit better). Plus black+red accents is more of a Galaxian thing, which I guess you could say he borrowed lol. Does he seem like someone who'd wear red, I guess?
Yeah, I know "it's a Chinese value" makes it seem all sophisticated and all (or something similar idk, maybe "complicated" would describe it better), but really it's just me thinking about cultural differences between "loyalty" as defined in the West (where I am) and China to my understanding. For instance, the West seems to mostly see loyalty as being more of a concept between individuals, with "loyalty to a country" having its own word of patriotism. But for Chinese, "loyalty" (zhong) comprises of loyalty to oneself, one's principles, one's origins, one's dreams, individuals (family, friends), the country, and a lot more. It connects not just the individual parts of society but rather acts as the very fabric of existence. Hence why I classify it as a virtue, and why Galaxian is the god of loyalty. 
It will never not be funny to me how Rider is Lawful Good while his mounts are different variations of Mischievous Neutral. 

I did imagine that she likes cats. In this aspect they fit up too xD.
Any adjustments/improvements are completely fine. As you probably can guess, Ambryll is an especially good example of this. And also Archer, and Helge, and Saber lol. I still dunno how Rider will call her, since I think it's probably gonna be hard for him to make the "ny" sound constantly. (In Chinese the sound is close to "ni" but it wouldn't be followed by "o", so it's possible her name will be hard to pronounce. Anyways, this is just an excuse for me to try to think of nicknames xD, don't get me wrong.)

[F/DA Thread]
Well, I may or may not try to give you the opportunity to do it in my next POV, so...don't let me stop you again? xD Only if you'd like to execute the idea, though. Don't let me make you do it if you don't want to. 
Castree. (That one actually fits more than a lot of the other names, I'm surprised. xD)

[Yvonne's Thread]
Well, you can keep drawing it, right?
I have to say Lianhuan will probably just not notice (TM), but I did notice it if that helps. And I'm looking forward to reading the info!
Does that mean if he was imagining ice cream he'd find it under the wheat. (Ice cream cereal? Cursed.)
Anyhow, where would you like him to go after he finds the boundary, then? This is important xD.

-Galaxian-

Wogus?
I randomly imagined a thread where the Alternate turn into crewmates xD just these lil overpowered gremlins (there is no imposter because I refuse to angst them like that)

-Galaxian-

Am back!

[Lancer]
I think she'd like oatmeal cookies in general, raisins included. Walnut cookies also sound nice. Why do oatmeal raisin cookies get so much hate tho? Brioche does look like something she'd like, and I think she'd also like muffins. 
(: if you have something you consider insightful then by all means, go ahead and ask, but also it's fun to reply to random questions lol.
Oh lol, I guess I mosly mentioned it because most people like or have a preference for chocolate, so I thought it'd be relevant enough to mention it xD. 
For packed foor I think it depends but she'd definitely dislike instant food a lot. I think that could be a sort of little joke xD that she likes to cook/bake things from scratch.
Yeah violin wood is so cool ngl! Also the dark wood on grand pianos mmmmm *daydreams about touching a grand piano irl one day*

[Rider]
You're pwning them for fun huh xD I'd say that's okay because it gives my characters a bit more of a fighting chance so to speak, but then I remember you don't mention much about pwning Berserker and :')
Yee dw I get the theorically part. Can't wait for headcanons/ideas to become a reality, even if it takes like 2 years lol. I like the idea you mentioned. At least as a concept, and I know it will show to some extent in the character too dw.
Idk dude that seems impressive enough to me haha. I do wish he were mentioned more in canon, because I remember being very curious about him while we were still on the wiki platform. 
Am :eyes: at Rider rn.
Bonding is both one of my favorite types of fluff and relationship development. I don't know why, I just really like it xD and if it's bonding through food or a shared activity like videogames, then I like it a lot more. Also lol I'm not sure if you mean it like this but do you mean actually turning the food thing into a sort of unspoken rule for summons? I wouldn't be against it but I don't know if I'm interpreting what you said correctly.
NSDFJBDGHDFJKJ that's EVEN more cursed when you remember the origin of Fate.
I was asking about the clothing bc as someone whose fave color is yellow yet rarely ever wears yellow clothing, I get a lot of questions about that xD so yeah I was just wondering. I don't think I can even headcanon on this part for Rider. I don't know what he looks like xD.
I see, I see. A more complex definition or all-encompassing sort of value. This is very interesting to think about.
Can't wait to learn more about Rider xD I think I'm very curious about all your characters in general but Rider's going to be the first of your Servant characters that I'll get to see, cause two of mine go first. 
We love cats :3




 

[Lancer]
Love how we talked about Hitan and Germaine being more neutral and wanting Helge/Lancer to be friends, and then Helge eats like a college student to get on her nerves lol.
I wanted to mention these two in live chat but didn't know what to mention xD fun. Hopefully we talk more about them during Lancer's thread (which iirc is after Rider's...? Lol I love my memory)
I also have no idea why oatmeal raisin cookies are hated so much, maybe because the oatmeal is weird for some people texture-wise and raisins aren't really liked in general. It's good for me though, since I can watch everyone else avoid these like the plague and sometimes take free cookies back home for myself. Hehe :'P

[Rider]
(: (I did imply that Berserker will probably terrorize all the others which will be fun...mostly I imagine him terrorizing Archer tho. So your characters are fine. for now.)
I forget when was the last time I mentioned this, but just in case, if you ever wanted to start Assassin's thread early or something, I'd be fine with that. For the time being, I remember we agreed to do a thread at a time, though.
I don't think I actually meant making the food thing a rule. It's a rule for roleplaying in general. xD
I keep forgetting your favorite color isn't pink lol. I personally almost never wear my favorite colors and haven't heard that sort of question before. I rarely get asked what my favorite color is in the first place, so that's there, but yeah.
Meow >:3

-Galaxian-

[Lancer]
She's going to take it upon herself to fix his diet then xD she doesn't have housekeeping skills for nothing and I can imagine Lancer being more aggressive/concerned with this than her GGaD version. Would Helge eat like that on purpose though?
Yee she's the 4th day of summon, something I'm quite glad for because she needs work and well I'm lazy xD. But after that the remaining 3 threads are all your characters, so :3 *curiosity ensues*
Idk dude my oatmeal cookies sell pretty well in my classes xD I like oatmeal cookies a lot too. Americans be picky ig.

[Rider]
Ngl I'm glad our AU and normal Grail Wars don't have the class advantage/disadvantage system because that would be such a big oof XD 
Maybe once we progress more with Caster's thread. I would love to, andI think we're off to a good start but it's important to figure out what went on in the first day in general terms. I'll let you know but you also let me know.
Could Nyoko win Rider over with food or nah xD this is sort of a jk thing just because.
Loll see, people usually don't believe me when I say my favorite color xD I think yellow isn't that much of a popular color, at least from what I've seen in others. 
:3c

[Lancer]
Lol imagining Helge cowering in fear (OOC btw, just funny)
No, he's not doing it on purpose, he just can't read people very well. (Also funny for me)

[Rider]
What does that mean? All I can envision is Rider supplexing Assassin. (Which is funny because I think my mind imagines they could get along for whatever reason idk. Just these would-be friends wrestling each other even though they're both supposed to be using weapons.)
I think you'll see if she could be able to do that, but also his brain isn't wired directly to his mouth (and vice versa). Lianhuan's closer to that but even he isn't like that xD.
(*weird pawing motions*)

[Kiaane Refs]
Why just tomorrow? Why not every day? XD
I'd be happy to see a drawing of them any day. Unless they're depicted suffering. I plead the Fifth on that.


[The Alternate in Among Us]
I drew it once. She was sipping tea lol. It wasn't my best work but it was glorious.

[Streamer AU]
I should've known you'd say that. I don't remember if you used the word "significance" specifically but I do remember that being the general idea (there being some kind of importance to the Squad being in that AU rather than a separate one). Anyways R.I.P. xD

-Galaxian-

[Lancer]
I love how all of this is just implicating that while the other Masters will at least try to be hospitable to their Servants (though I'm not sure for Dion and Aereon), Helge will unintentionally offend Lancer by inviting her to eat in a restaurant or something. They're ordering food and she's trying to be polite but just has the most passive-aggressive smile on her face.

[Rider]
(:
Assassin has higher E.Q. than all of mine combined over the course of my lifespan.
Rider is a little bit taller than in canon, and last I checked that was around 5' 7'' or 5' 8''. So here he's possibly on the taller end of 5' 8'' or 5' 9'' (probably 5' 10'' at the highest, I can't imagine him being 5' 11'' lol). It honestly depends on comparisons to other characters (mostly mine but also yours if I have access to that information). At the very least he should be taller than Saber and taller than Nyoko.
Cool, he can. (Can Dion cook in this AU? I forgot.) 
(*knocks refrigerator over with innocent expression and stays at the crime scene*)

[Kiaane Art]
Ooo, I should make a Kiaane Pokemon who says their own name like, y'know, a lot of other Pokemon (I think). Like, "Kiaane, Kiaane." 

[Alternate in Among Us]
Noticed yesterday after logging off that I didn't actually mention anything related to Among Us in that tag lol, oops. The original intent was to mention another cursed image. Essentially you know how in that "Among Us Sounds Made into a Song" video there was a segment with the crewmates kinda just all twirling around on the same screen? I imagined that for the Alternate. Hilarious.
That image in turn led to my very common mental image of characters (the Alternate in this case) all break dancing in sync with just their normal expressions, but you can disregard that. jk now I curse you with it as well

[Dion and Rai]
Surprise tag! Nothing much, just letting you know the thread is posted. No worries on how fast you respond. I just needed to get this off my shoulders.
...oh yeah, making this also reminded me of something. I will go write it down. xD

[Streamer AU]
Thanks for the link, I think I am having enough anxiety already atm to not watch that video, but I might look at it in the future. 
I feel like Dion would punch Wiley if he tried that though. He feels like a Fight sort of guy when it comes to Fight-or-Flight, plus the screaming ofc. even though he's short, Wiles says. 

-Galaxian-

[Lancer]
Does he even have utensils to cook with. (@Helge - ???)
What do you think she'd cook?

[Rider]
(:
Yes.
My bad, sorry. I think that was because of some forms I had to fill out lol. And my characters aren't always taller. Laurie's taller than Manai. That might be the only exception, but it still is one.
Archer's gonna make fun of him for that. (My original reply had something more on this but I just kinda forgot it lol. Ig now I can say maybe they can eat pizza.)
(*sits at crime scene with tail flopping on the ground*)

[Alternate in Among Us]
Nagesh sidles next to her, does it in one try, and leaves. (for his own card not hers unless she wanted him to help xD)
(Do you like it 'cause of the color or some other reason/association?)
You can't. It's stuck with you. Forever. or at least it is for me but I think you could probably block it out with something, idk lol. xD

[Dion & Rai]
Thanks for being the relayer xD (and thanks for the funny comments @Tuti).
I have a suspicion that Tuti might be, for some reason, a simp for Rai. Just a theory. You totally haven't said so directly or anything. (Seriously, why? I get he has some charm but...xD I just can't wrap my head around it lol. Though to be fair my head isn't a ribbon, so...)
You can't ship two straight people, it's like finding a solution to two parallel lines.
To be fair, that is a good question. The actual answer is he rewires the whole dang setup wherever they go so the energy they use is extremely efficient. So he doesn't really have any bills to worry about by the time usual bills arrive. (The actual answer is more complicated but I'm not gonna go into that, "too many logistics" as he would say.)
No worries, I'm finding it harder to respond on time myself. As usual, just do it when you can and want to.

[Streamer AU]
Perfect on both counts. Same on my end, though for Wiley it's just all-around weird when it comes to relationships lol. 
Btw, if you want a reason for me never really jumping at the offer to have Wiley scare Dion (or in HPA, bother Malaika too extensively), it's because he can forecast their reactions. He doesn't want to be punched, so...you could say he's a wise nuisance? He doesn't get himself hurt in the process, I guess. 
...I dunno what else to say on that. xD
Wanna figure out how he feels? Make him interact with Wiley again. They say practice makes perfect, and maybe that applies to this scenario. (Jk obviously, lol.)

-Galaxian-

[Lancer]
Makes sense, no worries.

[Rider]
I'm honestly just used to both, but I still don't have conversion down pat.
GGaD!Xuqiao is younger, around 14-15 (closer to 14), and is shorter than in F/DA. Though I think I already said that xD. I nearly repeated the height information too.
We'll see, we'll see. It's not like Archer's entire personality is making fun of others. I hope.
(*eventually gets bored and starts pawing at the door and meowing for food*)

[Dion & Rai]
I'm curious to know too, so if it's convenient for you to relay parts of that conversation, then please do. I honestly didn't know how much she knew of Wiley and Raez so xD.
Okay, I'm just not gonna question it then. Though canonically he's only average-looking. xD And I think it's okay to think that he's "simpable" even if there exists a canon ship. It was very spontaneous after all, and anyways it's not realistic for one person to just be paired with another IRL too, I just like the multiversal single-ship thingamajig (or whatever one would call it). Even then it's for specific characters. But you didn't ask for this, I'll stop talking on this section xD.
Dion can watch if he wants! :D
For this thread (saying this ahead of time), please make sure to let me know if you're getting stuck. I saw that Dion sometimes acts more passively than I'd prefer in threads, which makes me perform worse in terms of POVing, so yeah. But no pressure to make him act OOCly or anything, just let me know if there's an issue that you perceive on your end. Take your time and I hope you enjoy the past threads lol.

[Wiley & Dion]
Yeah, but see, he did it because he knew that Dion couldn't punch him hard in close quarters.
And it's okay to call him self-centered. I think he's interesting in that sort of way. Though it can definitely be annoying.
I will never not find it funny how Wiley acted somewhat normal to Dion in their first meeting (then again that thread was...kinda a mess lol oof) and then he realized Dion was gonna stay around for a bit and kinda just stopped doing that. Anyways I do hope they get along in one of these AUs. One day. xD

-Galaxian-

[Rider]
For me those height marks are funny, I think I just have Germaine's height, adult!Galaxian's height, and then like...Run's and the Gold Saints' xD so basically 1.7 meters to 1.92 meters lol
I'm not too concerned on heights atm, but would you like to update the parameters? A general estimate on any updates for your characters would be great. (Mine are a constant WIP but are probably closer to accurate than before, hopefully. xD)
(*starts making a racket while trying to fit into the smallest crevice possible next to the window*)

[Dion & Rai]
I meant he's average, facially. xD In real life I suppose he'd be average just 'cause there are a lot of East Asians, but I wonder what the racial demographics are in Forengard. 
Sorry, but I don't really compare people's roleplaying styles unless I happen to harbor a grudge or something related to that xD. But if I had to dedicate some thought to the topic, then ig I'd say that in the past your roleplaying style was more freer? And then there was a point where it became more restricted (maybe because you weren't feeling well IRL or something). I don't mind how long or short posts are as long as they're interesting, but I struggle with making my own posts interesting, and as you know I prefer long posts myself (since in the past I sometimes did only-dialogue posts and got sick of them). Overall I don't compare your roleplaying style by time period, but I can kinda tell when you're more excited or happy, and the general pattern is when you're happier, the better your posts are in quality regardless of description content/length. Hopefully that helps answer your question at least somewhat lol.

[Wiley & Dion]
But see, he'd be able to punch harder if he had more momentum. I know for sure Wiley (the bastard) probably does kinetic energy calculations or something just to see how hard a punch will hit him. 
I think it depends for him. Selfishness is a funny theme that's shared between them (I think). For GGaD!Wiley, he's just always been used to being by himself, but you can see that he'll help friends and all that. So it's not summarized so succinctly (unfortunately?). 

[F/DA I.Q.s]
Funny that you asked, I've been compiling some I.Q.s for the AU. Though mostly for a certain pair rather than these two because imo Archer and Dion are easier to make up I.Q.s for. xD

-Galaxian-

[Heights/Updates]
No worries if you don't wanna just yet; it can wait until like the fourth thread if needed. Since the first two Servants are your characters, and it makes sense for you to need to tweak stuff. 
I could never not write things down. I suffer enough with all the things I forget xD
Skill names are hard. How to make things sound cool.
(*starts prowling around your resting place while scheming to take it over*)

[Rai]
Just forgettable features IRL-wise. Rai with a standard shounen protagonist face is a cursed thought so here I am sharing it with you as well.

[Your RPing Style]
That's good to hear. Overall roleplaying style is a very individual thing, so it matters more that you enjoy writing your POVs and can keep up with the pacing rather than others' views. Though of course we should try not to inconvenience others. (That "we" is "I" btw, not actually "we.")

[Wiley & Dion]
I personally find it a cool notion that some people can run so many calculations in their head while fighting, and it just so happens Wiley is one of them. Though what I'm more so talking about are espers in A Certain Magical Index/Scientific Railgun series. The most powerful people there can math. (As context, Wiley doesn't have cool powers like them so runs less calculations, but he can is what I'm saying. At least to an extent. Coooool!)
Thanks, I like talking about them too. Mostly I just discuss them to myself so xD. Looking forward to analyzing all the F/DA pairs thematically.

-Galaxian-
