15. Xenosaga is awesome. I don't care what my friends say, I love the cutscenes. Jr., chaos and Allen are my favorite characters. Allen could do so much better. I'm even RPing as him ATM and it's so much fun because I have all images from XS2 and they transition so well. He's just so BEAUTIFUL. I love Allen. Allen is what the series is about. He's the every man that gets no love.

NOW I WANT XS3 SO I CAN USE HIM IN BATTLE.

The poor guy fails SO hard in episode III that it is painful to watch. XD But I laugh at it. Allen makes me laugh and I cannot deny it!
Despite everything in his way...he still tries SO hard. And he whines a LOT and yes, he's a wuss- but I think that makes him realistic!
My love-hate relationship with him is immense and I do so love to torture him in my head, but it's all part of the fun! XD

Please tell me where you RP him! I'd love to sit and watch. :D
That is, if it is on a community. :3

I wanna see. I heard he gets a bigger role in 3, and thus it would help me refine him as a character even more. Alas, I don't even own the first two, I just borrowed them from a friend of mine. Beat them both in under a week apiece though. I call that skills considering the length of cutscenes and stuff.

Allen is probably the most realistic character in the game. The closest you even get with any other actual named character, IMHO, is the guys of the Elsa, and even they aren't all that normal. Hammer is really smart, Tony is a player, and the Captain is a drunk. Which leaves Allen to fill the every man role, the every person role really, and he does it rather well.

And I must agree, torturing a character can be half the fun sometimes because it helps to create more depth to them. No truly well adjusted person has had a wholly happy life. I cannot abide by that.

It is on a community, but as I've mentioned, it's kinda a small private group thing with my friends and as such we're not supposed to give it away. Sorry. I wish I could though, just to get outside opinions on my use of Allen. I also wish I could find Xenosaga RPers to play with so that I could evolve Allen through actual interaction with those he would know.

People thinking him crazy for talking about Gnosis really make Allen whimper.

I actually just started III myself! I...recently finished the first two, so I'm still much a Xeno-n00b. XD;;
And that certainly is skilled! It took me...a month and a half to finish the first two, but only because I was in the process of moving. :x

I agree with this, actually. I don't think I ever considered that. Given the circumstances, I think anyone normal would be near wetting themselves when dealing with half that stuff. But you know what I just recently noticed while rewatching a few cutscenes? Allen is wussy, yes, but in episode I when KOS-MOS awakens, Allen is the only one that isn't looking about ready to faint. That was pretty gutsy for him! Though I did laugh my head off all the times he was cowering on the floor in episode II. XD
He's great to watch and I look forward to all his scenes!

Ah, it's okay! I wouldn't ever dare join a community (though I would LOVE to participate in a Xeno-RP)- what with all the negativity and harshness I see on fandomsecrets about them. D: I do all of my RPing on AIM and such (but don't know any Xeno-fans on AIM, go figure D: ). Have you considered asking a random friend to try one on AIM with you, on the side? Maybe that will help. It's also nice because it's a bit faster paced instead of waiting for a post. :3

Well, I was in a rush as I'm moving away for college on Tuesday. I spent my summer to one last burst of fun. I'll have to get ahold of 3 soon enough because chaos's past confuses me.

Allen was probably quivering inside. He only survived the awakening on Second Militia because he wasn't there that day and all. But Allen is strong for Shion, and she doesn't deserve that.

None of my friends do AIM RPs, or Xenosaga, so I'm not going to get any in any time soon.

[(Anonymous)]

I have been dying to hear about his past, too. I really find him intriguing. Really, though, I just love ALL the characters SO much. Even...Shion. For now. Though I have been warned. :x

The poor man! It's amazing how many heart attacks he's narrowly avoided thus far!

Sounds like my predicament. D:
Well...do you like AIM RPs? I feel silly asking to listen to your Allen, but, I would like to...or even RP. Though that's probably a bit weird coming from an anonymous stranger. XD

[mercale.livejournal.com]

I don't mind AIM RPs, there was a two year period where it was all I did in RP terms.

And it isn't weird as much as flattering.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm generally a bit more comfortable there simply because it's a one on one thing and you can break character to ask advice and all.

Ah, well I'm glad it came off as flattering. XD I don't see many strangers asking such a thing, so wasn't sure if it would be considered weird. XD Well...if you're up for it, I'd give it a go.

[mercale.livejournal.com]

Very true. I used to do that with my friends.

I don't get as many compliments, I RP with grayout and shahnida and the other ones that got secreted about.

And everyone is a stranger until you meet them! I'd give it a go too.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, it would be a good opportunity to get another opinion and flesh your character out more. :D

Very true. :o Well, would you mind if I friended you, then? I would still hate to impose, though, so unless you are really sure. :3

[mercale.livejournal.com]

Nope. I don't mind impositions. Some of my best friends on the net started as impositions.

[(Anonymous)]

Imposition initiated. ;)
I hope you do not mind my insanity!

[mercale.livejournal.com]

I've always felt that insanity was the best kind of sanity.
