Actually, that's not what I meant by one-sided. In fact, I wasn't even thinking of battles. Key2dawn can correct me if I'm wrong, but Yuki strikes me as the type of character who wouldn't even realize that he has a rival. That's what I meant by one-sided rivalry: only one side acknowledges the other as a rival.

[key2dawn]

Ahaha. Oh Faus, how you know my characters so well. But yeah, Yuki is as interested in people as Mewtwo is: Not at all. You want to be competitive with him then he may or may not play along, depending on his "mood," but he'll only see it as a child's game rather than a rivalry. He has had a person in his life that could have been a rival, a lifelong of one, but the whole issue with this potential rival is rather troublesome so a rivalry wouldn't cross his mind anyway.
I say Heero being Yuki's rival would be interesting precisely because it may be quite one-sided and possibly be frustrating.

[Blivsey]

You know, speaking of rivals. Whenever Giga-Gar shows up, I'd like to note Crimson's easily-mistaken similarities to Cheren. Could easily put us at odds (Crimson isn't quite as battle-centric as Cheren is).

[Metalheadz]

Hmm... I think you two may have misinterpreted my character a little bit. I don't think Heero really intends to start a rivalry, either. He only thinks that every other trainer is inferior to him, is all, which can always be proven wrong but hasn't happened yet. A rivalry doesn't necessarily have to be bitter, like Heero is, it just has to be competitive from time to time. Heero is sort of like Yuki in a way, sort of careless about the world and only goes with the flow of things. The only difference I see is he's more cold-hearted than Yuki. Feel free to interpret my character wrong, but I don't think he should frustrated at Yuki. After all, at the moment he's only challenging him to a battle only because he wants to face Mewtwo. We can only see how the flow of things go from there on out. So no, at the moment I don't call it a one-sided rivalry.

Blivsey, Gar's character has already made an appearance. Hasn't gotten around to much of the interaction part, I think, but he's here.

And Metal, I'm sure Faustgy wasn't making a concrete prediction when she said she could see this as being a one-sided rivalry, nor was she making any assumptions about your character (rather, she was commenting based on what she knew of Yuki's.) Adding onto that, I don't think Yuki would use Mewtwo in a battle unless Mewtwo wants to, and from his reaction to Heero's approach, I am pretty sure Mewtwo does not want to. So barring anything else, I think that is at least one thing Heero won't be getting anytime soon.
Additionally, you say that Heero has no real interest in starting a rivalry. He just wants a battle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that as meaning, whatever relationship Heero and Yuki may have in the future, it has just started, and therefore can't yet be qualified as anything. So it's not one-sided rivalry because it's not established. Which may change. Whether it becomes one-sided or not is up to you guys, I suppose.

Yeah, couldn't have put it any better myself. All I was saying really is that you can't assume Heero will instantly become frustrated with Yuki, possibly not at all if ever. The battle, the rivalry let alone, doesn't necessarily have to happen now, because it's a process over time going by the flow of the events, really. And my sincerest apologies, Faustgy, if I sounded too harsh in my last post.

[Faustgy]

It's all good.

I want to apologize, though. I didn't intend for this to turn into an argument. I was merely just making a light joke about Yuki's character based on, as Mandi said, what I already knew about him. I wasn't referring to Heero in my last post in any way, just what Yuki would be like in any rivalry.
If you want to elaborate on your character's personality, that's fine, but my suggestion (not just to Metal, but for anyone who RPs) is to be sure not to read too much into other people's RP or OOC posts, because sometimes, they might not necessarily mean what their posts seem to imply. ;) If you have to, you could always ask for clarification.

I worded my post poorly. Shoulda said "whenever Gar posts again".

[Saber Knight]

Aaaaaaaah soo many people!!

I just have a question, in my first post, my character is at the touranment, so not at the meeting, but Arceus probably is, so is it ok to have the legendary have a post of its own? The two will meet up eventually, but until then, when there is no hope of connection like right now, is it ok?

Basically, what Mandi says sounds fine. Just... whatever is fine, figure it out, it's probably good.

I was also wondering if I can create a little rivalry between characters. key2dawn's character, Yuki, I thought, would make a good rival for Heero. Are trainer rivalries alright with you (Saber and key2dawn)?

Rivalries are fine, as long as y'all are good with it. It's just character interaction, really, nothing needs to be declared. Once Xavier gets intro'd, though, I feel like he'll have interesting interactions with Heero since he thinks (or, in his mind, knows) that he's the best.

Oh, if that's how we're playing this, then Maïa and Lydia should totally have a Genki-off. Or at least fire each other up. Drastically.

Posting a link to TV tropes is like opening a black hole in the internet! Regardless, though, I feel like that would be highly interesting :P

[Metalheadz]

I completely forgot about Xavier. He's almost the perfect matchup if you're talking rivalries. :P

A genki-off, hm? Being a fan of Sailor Moon, I'd love to see one in this roleplay.

We're gonna have, like, a page dedicated almost entirely to Maïa and Lydia.

Also, because I might have a plan in store, could we reserve the Musketeer trio? We can always say "oh, they don't trust humans so they aren't at the meeting and really don't care about the whole 'bonded to a human' idea".

Musketeer trio question mark?

So you know, I haven't forgotten about this and I'm keeping up with all the new posts. I just can't think of much to do until the meeting starts unless someone comes up to talk with Jessica. She's not really the type to go start up conversations with lots of strangers, unless she's challenging them to a batttle.

[grassaquilUV]

So big question for the meeting, does Arceus start it? becuase vinity will not be showing up again until after the meeting, so that leaves just Arceus, so does Arceus start the meeting or what? can someone help me out there for this one?
