favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging?

Besides Diaochan, y’know what I mean, I’d have to say wine and drinking. Though there’s no real evidence for this in the games themselves (besides a silly promo-picture for New Years with Lu Bu obviously a little toasty), he does seem to spend a good amount of time drinking in The Three Kingdoms novels — ultimately leading to his downfall. Nonetheless, I believe he sees drinking merely as a way to drown his senses when off the battlefield, to keep his impatience from growing maddening when waiting for the next battle. Brooding and drinking, brooding and drinking.

reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?)

"Pah— you really think this will stop me?”

This is a bit of a hard question to answer… Lu Bu… is a bit too arrogant to give a damn about burning houses or sudden flooding or whatever else may randomly befall him. However, things like sneak-attacks or careless accidents due to his men on the battlefield may incite his anger, feeling that they are insults to his greatness. He never panics, however.

hobbies?

Drinking, hunting, horsemanship, and archery.  He has a habit of aimlessly thundering about the countryside on Red Hare when there are no battles to be fought.

Lu Bu is extremely loud, constantly roaring and shouting over the battlefield. However, the general battle-ire isn’t exactly true anger.  In order to provoke that rise out of him, there are three surefire ways: threaten Diaochan, threaten his daughter Lu Lingqi, or be stronger than him and treat him in the dismissive, disdainful way he treats everyone else. These three tactics will ensure you a turbo-charged Lu Bu (literally, when it comes to Diaochan, his already souped up stats double if another character threatens her while he’s on the battle-field) willing to pursue you to the ends of the earth in order to have his revenge and your head.

♫ and ?

♫ - something you would like to do more of in your threads. 

Well the first step would be to actually have threads. I let this guy lie idle for too long, but I’m trying to get back on top of things now. I’d love to raise an army, and go about conquering various sections of the Hive — both comically and seriously — and I look forward to the new big mountain area because it’s more similar to what he’d be used to than any of the other over-civilized areas.  However, I also love big dumb ancient misunderstandings in the modern world.

I also really look forward to more soulful dramuz with Diaochan, since … OTP, as well as having to be the big angry baby who threatens people when they come close to her, and whom she has to keep on a leash.

? - name an unexpected way in which your character has developed.

Haha, the fact that he’s developed at all is unexpected. When I first began playing him, it was just to have a tank-character for another RP. I’m still somewhat surprised that I actually began taking him seriously as more than muscle.  In any case, I need more interaction in order to develop him more, but for now, I’ll just say that much.

This is something of an interesting question, considering Lu Bu’s general ‘neutral state’ does seem to have evolved over the course of the Dynasty Warriors series, spanning from his original constant mad-dog bluster to more of a warrior’s poise. I tend to play him somewhat in between (I suppose closest to DW6, characterization-wise); neither constantly snarling in attack-mode like his earlier manifestations, nor as dignified and grounded as his latest DW8XL self.

Rather, his general mindset is like that of an ill-tempered dog; restless, territorial, and always waiting for the next fight.  Where and when the next battle will be, are the primary motivating factors in his life and thoughts, and he exists in a general state of dissatisfaction and pent up anticipation whenever off the battle field-- an animal pacing in its cage.  Likewise, he is generally fixated on himself and himself alone. Seizing control of the land means less to him than joining as many great battles as he can, and the needs of the Kingdom, the Country, or even his own soldiers rarely comes into his head, with Diaochan’s safety and happiness being perhaps the sole exception.

Lu Bu is disdainful of a great many things, but I suppose one of his greatest pet peeves are rulers or aristocracy who do not take to the battlefield. To him, those who make their fame on words and policies alone are no more than worthless insects — hardly even worth the effort of slaying. And there is nothing more frustrating than having to cut down a sea of peons with the hopes of a great man standing behind them, only to find a weakling begging for mercy.

Everyone asked about Lu Bu's intellectual pursuits.

Guys.

Those don't exist.

"HAD Love ever known she was so popular in this place, I’d have asked her ta come with me… THEN ‘gain, I think I’m too flighty fer her likin’."

"A tiger that speaks...?"

Why no, of course he wasn't just thinking what a nice addition your pelt would make to his collection. Why would you think that?

[oolalamour-deactivated20150319]

"It can also provide great strength, monsieur. A man knows no greater satisfaction than protecting ‘is lover, non~?”

[donotpursue]

"Hmph. I don't need greater strength than what I already possess. No man has been able to shake me."

"... But I suppose you are not entirely wrong. Any worm that crawls within striking distance of my Diaochan will be crushed."

[donotpursue]

"Hah. Of all the weak-kneed emotions. Love is not a necessity in this world. Most who humor it are fools. It gets in the way! But at times, it can prove an unavoidable trap..."

"But to have one weakness only adds a greater challenge to one's life. Few understand it this way."
