The CR (Character Relationships) Meme

It's been a while since we've really done a meme with a purpose, and longer since we've done a CR meme - and now that we have a bunch of fresh new characters, time to find out what everyone thinks of you!

There's nothing fancy here - no fancy HTML - just pure bare-bones simplicity:

-Post with the characters you play
-Other people will tag you wanting to know your thoughts (What does Nanoha think of [Character]?)
-You answer!
-Potential/existing CR develops.
-???
-Profit!

So go, go, go for it!

I mean

YZAAAAAAAAAK

Oh man this is going to be so tl;dr. :(

BUT OKAY I should start here by stating what is ... somewhat obvious considering Yzak's, character; he doesn't hate Kira. He yells and carries on to his best friends constantly, so his yelling and grump at Kira isn't very different from that. But Kira's also not really a friend in that regard, either. Obviously in canon Yzak knowingly helps him out a number of times, because there were times in the fighting where they were both fighting for the same reasons. So it was "these guys helped me out, so I'll return the favor."

Yzak and Dearka are in ZAFT during Destiny, but they came to a point where it was more in ZAFT but fighting for what should really be fought for in the end. Yzak is like that dude who believes in the protagonists and their ideals, but doesn't join up with them and UP AND GIVE THE FINGER TO ZAFT AND LEAVE as much as just do what he can for them from his own position. SO IN THAT SENSE Destiny-wise, Yzak could always have been considered a sort of ally of Yamatoooooooooo!!'s.

But Kira and Yzak and super awkward because of their SEED relationship! Yzak honestly feels LESS fail knowing that Kira is a Coordinator (oh so he gave me that scar and was an actual challenge because he was one of us instead of a Natural, feels ... kind of good man), even though his issues with revenge were dropped at the end of SEED anyway, so it's not a huge thing. But! It's always strange for Yzak because that's why Athrun used to act so weird when it came to fighting him back then. Klueze rode their asses about taking down the Strike, too (and in the novels he actually goes "lol well if you guys followed orders maybe they wouldn't have gotten away again }D") which was never fun.

And then there is the big awkward of oh I killed your special little civilians/also a lot of your friends vs. Kira and oh I killed a lot of your comrades too. Topped off with the general loneliness and confusion Yzak felt toward the end of the series! Which was mainly a Dearka/Athrun/Lacus/Andy/ZAFT focused thing but the Archangel and Kira being the people they joined up with certainly made it part of the mix. So there is a tinge of jealousy there in "Coordinator, strong (thoughdamnitIwillneveraqdmitthatoutloudEVER), does things that other people leave me for to go and fight alongside him, somehow charmed LACUS (because he has a sort of crush on her), and seriously when did this guy get so cool and likable HE JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE :|"

So like. Athrun and Kira and Yzak and Dearka's series rivalries are one thing because they were friends/allies/etc. before the GUNDAM ANGST happened. So that made it easier for them to get past it/forgive/kiss and make up/whatever. But Yzak and Kira did not know each other before the war or were not friends or anything before that. So I think that's the main Thing for why it's a little more awkward from Yzak's end.

IT'S AWKWARD but like mentioned in this tl;dr, Yzak's views are similar to the protags and his actions help them out in a pinch. And he basically knows this and he's okay with Kira being a part of said protags. But their lack of a friendly start-out/past makes it harder for him to really want to try to ... like idk. Talk to Kira about himself or his life or his awesome mom (though he'd still do it, and if he ever did he'd totally have that gloaty tone as he does so). IT'S LIKE I SAID IN IRC THAT TIME Yzak wants Kira to know how awesome he is and when he thinks Yzak is awesome it will be very SMUG.

Where "how awesome he is" also means "know that he is not that same crazy ass shuttle-shooting racist bitchface that he used to be." Since he didn't KNOW there weren't soldiers in there and feels super lame about that and-- dammit Funk you have no idea how much this all makes me wish these two actually had CANON INTERACTION AFTER THE FIRST SERIES. I have this doujin where they meet after the first war and talk to each other about these things and it is so cool and I HATE YOU FOR THESE REASONS CANON.

So yes anyway moving on now (yes I'm still going) to T9 proper. Everything is gone! PLANT, Earth, everything Yzak's known or hated or used to hate or loves. And in his mind until a podpop proves him wrong, probably a lot of everyones, too. And now it's up to him to help Stacy and her crew to possibly restore everything. Which he's obviously VERY focused on doing, because after all he's done and fought for his home and his people, like hell he's gonna let it all be for nothing. SO even though in Destiny the situation wasn't TOO different, his goals are the same are Kira's. Just minus ZAFT/EA/TSA/his doing things in his own way/chilling near PLANT while they all do their own thing. So he's actually on the same ship, in many of the same places that Kira is! Which is very different from canon! And Yzak was okay with the other situations because he could avoid having to really interact with Kira EVEN THOUGH he doesn't really hate him but it just felt weird to. It was a more comfortable position for Yzak, helping them out but not having to really mix and mingle.

But Yzak wants more than anything to restore his home, so he's manned up and despite the awkward, is treating Kira like he would any other ally since they're aiming for the same thing. But since they're not in battle all the time, where there's not much talk and mostly just action, he actually has to talk to Kira more now. So he treats him somewhat like he treats Athrun. A rival of sorts, that he yells and >(s at a lot for ALL OF THE REASONS STARTED ABOVE, but in that way where it's obviously not ill-intended, and he will fight alongside and help and possibly save and ass-kick together with Kira. In his own loud, grumpy Yzaklike way.
