1. Post images of your characters! If your characters don't have images, high-larious descriptions are more than acceptable.
2. People ICly grade them from 1-10 (1 = lowest, 10 = highest).
3. Child characters are applicable. In the...kid's division, or something. LET'S NOT BE SKEEVY ALL RIGHT?
4. ???
5. No profit, unfortunately.
6. Oh yeah REACT THUSLY ICLY and all that
7. Stolen from capeandcowl!

Shut up!

_{[Her hands clench into fists.]}

I was chosen because I was the only one good enough!

[shootingblancs]

Good at what, being horribly over-sensitive?

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

_{[Her nostrils flare and she looks like she's getting ready to yell at him again and then she turns on her heel and storms off, fighting back tears.]}

You're such an idiot!

[shootingblancs]

*She looked like she was about to cry.

Shit, he should go after her, shouldn't he. Stupid responsibility.*

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

_{[She storms off to find a corner. She turns on him with a yell, blinking as tears prick at her eyes.]}

Go away!

[shootingblancs]

*Yep, crying. He sighs.* That's not happening, so don't even ask.

Look, I'm teasing you.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

You're making fun of me!

_{[She swipes at an eye defiantly.]}

And I'm not crying.

[shootingblancs]

That's the general definition of teasing, yes.

And the only one who mentioned crying here is you.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

Well, stop it, jerk.

_{[Hmmph. Not answering that one.]}

[shootingblancs]

Do you know the expression "you reap what you sow?" Think about what that means for a bit.

*He's on to you, Soryu.*

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

_{[She doesn't want to think about that. It's stupid. She's the best and Michel is just trying to hurt her.]}

I don't care! I just want you to stop! You keep saying that I'm worthless and I'm not!

[shootingblancs]

*Oh Asuka. You make Michael's head hurt.*

Yes. Because there is clearly no reason for me to be trying to deflate your head, and I don't want to teach you a thing. I'm just saying those things because I'm a big mean jerk. *Can you hear the eyeroll in his voice.*

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

Sounds right to me.

[shootingblancs]

You're impossible. And you're going to get somebody killed.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

If someone dies, it'll be their own stupid fault!

[shootingblancs]

And exactly how much team flying did you do in that super-awesome secret club of yours?

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

Plenty! _{And it wasn't technically flying.}

I had Ikari and Wonder Girl.

[shootingblancs]

Three, and it wasn't flying. And how many enemies were you up against at any one time?

On average.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

One.

_{[She folds her arms, still blinking away the tears.]}

But it's not like these things were pushovers!

[shootingblancs]

Not my point.

My point is, I don't care how good you are at whatever it is you did. That has about as much relevance to you being good at what we do as how good a cook you are.

You don't know team flying, you don't know teamwork, and you could be the best pilot in the universe and it wouldn't change that.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

I don't need people slowing me down!

_{[And here Arha had almost hammered this into her before she got podded.]}

[shootingblancs]

When you're against more than one opponent, you sure as hell need someone watching your back.

Look, I got my start flying in a stunt flying team in the academy, and you couldn't cut it there for a second. Not because you're a bad pilot, but because you'd rather show off than stay in formation.
