Hey all out there. 'Tis I, Luna. :3 Okay... I have a problem here... somewhat. This is a plot for the daring and strong.
See, Zentaal, one of my D9 guys, is actually very hard to 'befriend', if you can call it that. He's initially hard to talk to, making it difficult to respond and make him stay with people (if not with Dantis). Now, you guys might be saying that it is my fault for making him that way, but I'll discuss that in a bit. Here is his profile: Arrogant Emperor.
Actually, he does have a preference in people. It's just EXTREMELY selective and picky. x3 And, yes, his taste of guys and girls are different like in real life, so don't think you can make a girl that will be like his guy-friend and eventually they... no.
I know what you may be thinking: so why did I make him that way? Well, there are reasons. Unexplainable reasons. But here's one thing I can assure: he is 'befriend-able'. Just the right personality needs to be hit upon.
Zentaal is really a recycle character of mine who does eventually - SLOWLY, like years and years - warm up to two significant characters. One is already made here. The other, here is my proposal:
You control this one--- Well, more like you can "make" the other one and control him. This person is supposed his eventual confidante and single beacon of trust. Hesitantly his heart becomes less afraid to open, but still keeping that 'I-don't-care' attitude. While the other heals him with kindness and motherly love, this one is supposed to give him the modern bitter taste but be fun-loving and persistent.
Here is the general guidelines to the character:
- Jokester/Prank
- Persistent
- Cheery
- Socially-awkward
- Brash/Barking
- Energetic
- Sadistic
- Serious business
- Smart
- Caring
Now that we got the basics of this character down, I'm going to list the moot points of my original character that I thought shouldn't be exactly copied into your character:
Other than the stuff listed above, I also implore you to have some historical similarity to Zentaal. Originally the character was also detached from others because kids used to pick on him (thus developing his defense mechanism of insulting others before knowing them). No exactness here; just have something for the two of them to know and grow closer to each other for that reason.
If you are interested, please reply to this thread and post the profile or profile link when you write it and a RP post example here. Remember: Zentaal is picky; I'll need to see if my loner would get along - slightly easier - than, say, a stranger of similar joking attitude.
From the actual RP player, I need to have grammatical and spelling correctness. It'll make it easier on me to read and reply properly. I don't mean that you can't make typos; just have it where it's not intentional (I've seen some where people don't do spaces after their periods... *shudder*). As always, follow the rules of the site. Try to have a paragraph or two, at least, again to make it easier for me to reply to. If after a week to a month this is not replied to and I have decided the best candidate for Zentaal, then I'll have to go with a plan for only myself.
Note: I need for you, the player, to be persistent as well! Zentaal will beat up your guy, tell him to p*** off, and try to walk away. That's my character, not me. Don't be afraid of him since he doesn't like you initially. This is why this is a plot for the bold and daring!
I hope to make this interesting because I haven't had Zentaal get comfortable with other RP players. Good luck!

Here is the general guidelines to the character:
- Jokester/Prank
He's a prank-lover. Simple as that. Destruction, some violence, you got it. He's the man you count on to have fun by being silly and creative. At times, he doesn't know when to stop joking around with people. He's not an attention-grabber; please don't make it where his goal is because he's wanting attention. He's doing it for fun and the lols. Oh, and he can have a dirty mind.
- Persistent
Generally, Zentaal does not like persistence. Persistent people are annoying to him (A lot of things are annoying to him, believe me); but, it's like that quality that in real-life people somehow accept better in others, or those times that finally persistence wins over annoyance. That principle is applied to this guy. He's persistent, yeah, but he knows when to back off at certain times, the kind of persistence that after getting used to Zentaal doesn't mind... as much. Just slightly lower.
- Cheery
Okay, in this sense, I don't mean he's optimistic; he's just happy. The original trio, he was the left as Zentaal was the right and the other in the middle. There are certain instances where he gets angry. Please don't make this character dopey-happy; that would make Zentaal want to beat the living crap out of him.
- Socially-awkward
Now, this trait is only initially. By 'socially-awkward' I mean that he's having a hard time talking but not stuttering or stammering. After a good amount of dialogue is exchanged between the two, he finally relaxes and is normal - if normal is joking and laughing a lot. Don't make him shy, stutter, stammer, or the type to avoid eye-contact; give him a normal amount of sentences that would easily answer a question at the start. The type of guy he is is the type to not go up to a person without a reason. To go into the social category, make him more slang-involved, saying things like 'dude' and 'man' but not 'dawg' and 'phat'.
- Brash/Barking
Haha, this is where most of his guy's hilarity comes in. Quite the opposite of Zentaal, he doesn't think too much on his actions and does what he feels or needs to be done instantly. This is for the trivial matter such as talking to people, planning his pranks/jokes, or such.
- Energetic
In comparison to his two compadres, he's the energy. THE energy. He's more active and bound to do outrageous stunts. No, not like off-the-walls energetic. Please. Imagine him as that guy that runs occasionally and jumps up trees just for the heck of it. That's the level I'm looking for.
- Sadistic
He's not the one to hit others just for his pleasure but bound to laugh when someone gets hurt... except in fights. Then it's all serious business. For this example, imagine him as that guy that repeatedly kills off a character in a video game in the most gruesome way possible.
- Serious business
This is just a subject describing what happens when he's serious. You can definitely tell when his cheeriness is gone. In a normal serious situation, he's just not as joking and smiling but he still does them; in an entirely serious situation, he can be the equivalent of a talkative Zentaal: glaring, telling others to shut up, almost to the point of beating them up.
- Smart
He's a pretty smart guy; he just doesn't like to do the work and puts it off near the night. Watch for this guy; he's no intellectual/wise man like Zentaal. He's, instead, street-smart.
- Caring
No direct caring. This character shows his care in ways that won't make him look/sound 'fruity'. He really only cares for his friends/acquaintances and doesn't give a flying rat's donkey about others. Well, actually, he only frowns when he sees strangers' problems but doesn't do/think much about it.
Now that we got the basics of this character down, I'm going to list the moot points of my original character that I thought shouldn't be exactly copied into your character:
- Insulting (initially)
- Flute-player/Singer (likes music)
- Sometimes plays around by speaking pirate
- Likes candy cigarettes
- Hard to describe where his alliances lie
- Difficulty calling people 'friends'/Cannot see who are friends
- Likes instant-messaging 'acquaintances'
- Born to young couple who had him illegitimately
- Good with daggers/jumping
- Not looking for romance

Originally the character was also detached from others because kids used to pick on him (thus developing his defense mechanism of insulting others before knowing them).
