Hello! I am Numbers. I'm not sure if you can guess, but this is a roleplay blog for Seymour Guado of Final Fantasy X. I have gtalk & skype, if you wanna talk to me via IM - but otherwise feel free to ask me anything. I have relatively thick skin, so say whatever you desire - and please don't be shy about it! I will roleplay and give anyone a chance! I apologise for slow replies in advance, and if it looks like I'm missing your thread, just submit me a link to it. C: Just a warning, though. Seymour is a creepy bastard. If you don't like the way I am portraying him - tell me! I love critique when it is constructive and I am always looking to improve. Member of Final Fantasy Nexus. My personal tumblr is Prayermachine. Formerly mortibody. Now kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. wandering pyreflies
Eyyyy, as I don't see myself coming back to RP on this account in the forseeable future, I have changed my personal (originally prayermachine) to seymourguado!
so seymourguado.tumblr.com is still me, so if you wanna contact me, you can do so there!
Numbers, do you ever think about an AU where Seymour was Jyscal's pride and joy? Because I do. And it hurts.
;w;You know the saddest thing about this is... he probably was? I mean, Jyscal was pretty young when he had Seymour (he must have been in his early 20s, the Ultimania says he was "in his 50s" in the game, so, yeah) and I really think he was in love with Anima and his big ideals - which Seymour was meant to embody. It hurts because that all that fell apart with time, when holding onto power became his one true love, I guess. I think that hurts the most because it was there, it could have been there, but it didn't last. And then he regretted, years and years later - but by that time Seymour was never, e v e r going to forgive him (understandably) ahaha. But I do wonder sometimes what would have happened to Jyscal had went with his wife and son to Baaj. And that's... painful, too - because things could have been so different. For all of them. ;w;
Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character? i love him
What’s your favorite trait of this character? honestly, it's that he's a perverted creep which is AWFUL OF ME BUT OK HEAR ME OUT. Really, my favorite thing is that he's willing to undermine and betray the company he works for, the company he hates - in order to be a thin sort of barrier between it and the woman he's obsessed over... and yet when he's given the choice - he picks Shinra over her. He'd ALWAYS pick Shinra over her. And that's insane? It's such a strange and interesting thing about him, and I think it's because he likes stability. He doesn't want anything to change - or rather, he believes nothing can ever change, so it's best if he just sits with Shinra because hey, he's got an okay life with them. And even though he resents the company, even though he hates, hates hates so much about the world and sees Aerith as the one thin sliver of light in it - he still will not give up that security for her. Ugh. It's so interesting.
What’s your favorite moment/even involving this character? When he slapped Aerith. I TALKED TO U ABOOT THIS A MILLION TIMES ALREADY but just. Ugh. That moment means so much. He's basically trying to beat out any love he has for her - he's ruining it in that moment because he's so angry that she turned herself in and because nothing can ever be the way it was before again. It's over. She's caught. He's too much of a coward to do anything - so he makes his choice. And he makes it clear, to convince himself more than anyone else.
If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be? Ummm I don't really admire Tseng for anything, but he has damn nice hair. Give me ur hair Tseng. Or ur booty. Hell yeah.
Have you ever pictured this character naked? yes
When did you fall in love/hate with this character? I you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not? Tseng was one of my vERY FIRST FICTIONAL CRUSHES. If not THE first, to be honest? VII was one of my very first games, and I really liked this long haired suited asian man wow my young kokoro couldn't handle it. He was also one of the very first characters I rped! So he's very special to me, to be honest, because I have...... a hell of a lot of memories with him and I'm still like, coming to understand his actions as I get older and more mature and are able to understand them more. It's mental how much my perception has changed over the years, ahaha.
Who’s your OTP for this character? Tseng/Aerith forever and ever and ever and ever. I used to like Tseng/Rufus, and it's okay i guess but hella AU. Tseng/Aerith has so much... ugh, potential in a way but it will always end in failure. There's no hope in it - both of them would always place duty over each other, and that's frighteningly sad and just the way they are and ughughugh I love them. They're snarky to each other and understand each other and probably resent each other quite a bit but he idolizes and idealizes her and she refuses to help save him but cries when he dies, anyway - and they're beautiful together ok. even if he's like. probably twice her age.wails.
Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character? togami is my heart and soul
What’s your favorite trait of this character? UGH OK. Well. Togami is basically my favorite archetype ever. He’s a snooty, rich arsehole who thinks he’s good at cutting people down, but really he just comes off as a complete dork. My absolute favorite thing about him though is his development - he starts to loosen up but he doesn’t lose his arsehole twang. He’s still Togami, just… a nicer one ahaha.I also really, really, really like that he’s motivated by the memory of his “dead” siblings, and that he doesn’t seem to resent his parents at all? It’s just interesting and it kind of shows how his entire life is like, built on this one frail obsession with some magical concept of ~perfection~ that doesn’t really exist - but other people have “died” for it, so he’s got to find it and fulfill it and ugh. I really like driven characters, especially if their driven by an impossible goal. It’s just… interesting to me aha.
What’s your favorite moment/event involving this character? Getting his face skelped by Aoi. Also ummm his developing anger towards Naegi in his freetime? I know that’s not an individual event, but ughhh I love the cognitive dissonance. It’s just really well written ahah. also his smile at the end of dr2 ngl that melted my heart ok.
If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be? give me the money honey. UH I guess really I envy his dedication. He IS actually good at a LOT of things. He spends most of his time, when he’s not getting off on being an arsehole, like, studying in the library? Which is cool, part of me wishes I was like that. I wanna know French and day trade and have the world spin for me because I'd worked hard and earned it. That's intense.
Have you ever pictured this character naked? yes
When did you fall in love/hate with this character? I you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not? I feel in love with him instantly ok like, Paul told me that I’d “like a certain character” and I knew immediately who he was talking about as soon as Togami opened his mouth. I very much expected him to die so every time I was sURE he was the killer or whatever my heart would leap and whenever a body was found the first thing I’d do is be like “oh my god is togami ok” SO YEAH I WAS IN LOVE.
Who’s your OTP for this character? I ship Togami with a lot of people, but none really sTRONGLY. Apart from with Fukawa. Oh god. Oh god oh god are you fucking kidding me my two favorite characters and they’re involved in a horrible, horrible, fucked up abusive relationship aRE YOU KIDDING ME?????????? yeah. I ship them…… very hard, especially because there’s actually a lot of potential (if only togami would reciprocate god damn you for having standards??) because it’s mentioned in passing somewhere that Fukawa actually resents being oppressed by him? SO I just think that… there’s a lot that can be done with the ship and their character dynamics so I loveleoeoeoeoeooeoeve it ahaha.
You were the best Seymour I've ever seen. Please come back...
Thank you so much anon ;w; I'm glad you enjoyed my interpretation, but I'm sure there are equally good if not greater interps out there! I can't keep promising I'll come back when my time is getting more and more restricted as the years go by, but I think about writing here a lot and I do miss it, so. There's hope, I just don't want to make a promise I can't keep. We'll see, though - maybe after tomorrow's exam ahah. I'll try. Thank you.
