Favorite characters?

Let's do this.

Doom Jazz for me please, but that's an easy one. I have such a soft spot for woobie man sluts, and I say that with all the affection and respect in the world. And this one was very refreshing, because they're not usually "respectable" characters like, say, a competent doctor. Kudos for not making "the slutty one" a victim of his own promiscuity. Very progressive, much props.

But Crimson too. I thought the writing on her was genuinely clever and tragic. Just the idea of a no-nonsense warrior being pushed into the role of a commodified idol is chilling.

Also, writers, is Yuri Night a cheeky wink wink? You can tell me, I've had many a yuri night myself. I won't tell nobody.

I didn't make the Yuri connection until he'd been in the game for ages!

[Devilfish]

Haha, sweet. I know what that's like, I didn't realize I'd given one of my characters a double entendre for a name until the manuscript was with an editor and she pointed it out to me. Felt too late to change it after all that, so VD it is.

I love Crimson Acid! As soon as I saw her sprite on twitter I knew I had to play the game hehe
I'm very happy the game lets you flirt with her :D

Flirt and more! I just love characters that defy stereotypes like that. The vapid commercial idol is actually a hyper-intelligent agent and warrior, the slutty man is actually a very competent doctor and veteran, the tough-as-nails military commander is wracked with grief and love for her troops... Even the less sympathetic characters like Yuri and Witness I get. They're all so well thought out and it's amazing they need so little dialogue to get so much character across.

Plus there's the added layer that they're all absolutely 100% the baddies. That's a pretty damn interesting layer, because you do end up liking a fair few of them. And the only Citizen we ever see is Henry and well... poor Henry. Someone smart do a Marxist reading of this game. A Queer one too. Maybe not so much Auteur :p

I'm not going to believe there isn't some irony in a guy who his parents named "Doom" deciding to become a doctor.

As for Yuri Nights, I presume you mean the international celebration held on April 12 to commemorate space exploration? ;)

In terms of character design, One Last Kiss for sure. Love a vengeful ghost who looks like she'd be casting magic spells by vogueing.

What else could it possibly refer to! Wishing the world many more yuri nights to come! We could all use it in these trying times.
