((Josh and Sophie was supposed to be next, but Yahoo erased my entire chat logs. If you see this, we need to redo the interview, preferably over a PM so I will have records of the questions this time.
In the meantime, here's Brendan's interview)
"Innocence and madness, these two elements seem to go hand in hand. We sit down today with Brendan, who knows all about innocence, madness, and heroism with his characters. We will discuss his history, his characters, and events that can define them."
---
Q: Hello Brendan, thank you for doing this with me.
A: Howdy. Thanks for having me.
Q: Lets get started with a common question I ask: how long have you been roleplaying?
A: Uh, well, I've been at this since I was ten. So about seven years now.
Q: Quite a long history then, so no doubts about your ability being refined eh?
A: Not a single one. Of course, with everything, there's always room for improvement. But roleplaying is a huge part of my life. No doubts.
Q: Then lets get right down to the heart of it: your characters. Off the top of my head I know you play N, but who else do you play?
A: I also play Train Heartnet, Genesis Rhapsodos, Jeremy Belpois, Link, and now I play Hanako Orihara, Izaya's youngest sister.
Q: An impressive character list. Out of those, who would you say is the most fun and the most interesting to play?
A: Eh... Hard question. Hanako is really fun to play, though she's only been around a short time. But N is also my first profile on Otherborn, and I have some very real attachments to him. So far, his descent into madness has become quite fun to play.
Q: You actually just set me up for my next question. N, lets discuss his descent into madness, what sparked this? What's your goal with it?
A: Well, what sparked this is that I'm rather cynical. I find corrupting the innocent characters to be an absolute joy. But with N... he was TOO innocent. He needed to be woken up to what Urbadelphia is dealing with. And as for my goals with it... Well, I want him to get stronger, and realize that there are bad people who shouldn't be trusted. This whole thing with the Jack could very well lead him to joining the Network. That is... if he decides to leave the Jack.
Q: So that is the inner battle? What will N choose and who will he trust?
A: Wouldn't we like to know? Currently, we're trying to see if Ginta's new band of allies will be able to rescue him from Jack's clutches. But plenty could go wrong with that. For instance, the Jack might kill them before N is even seen. Or perhaps N's descent will have been completed. He may not even want to go... We'll have to wait and see.
Q: And we can't forget Kiara.
A: Heh... Kiara. No, chances are he'll end up going wherever his beloved Kiara goes. But again, the Jack of Blades could make him believe that the only way to protect her is to stay with him. Maybe he'll even threaten one or the other. Kiara is his greatest strength and also his greatest weakness.
Q: Very chilling - we will have to be very attentive to what happens to N. Lets talk a bit about Ascension though, your characters are a bit disconnected from this: in terms of they were never really affilated with Sora Shimomura. However we have seen Genesis and his band of heroes step in, do we get to see more of them? Or will we get appearances from your other band?
A: In all honesty, none of my characters have any ties to the Network or Sora. Genesis did step in for a bit, but his presence probably won't be seen in Ascension, as I completely didn't think about including him in many ways. However, Hanako is always looking for something to do. Train might even be interested! But other than that, I don't see anyone else joining.
Q: Quite a shame in my opinion, there is plenty of time though if you do change your mind. So we can assume N's quest to define himself will be a parrell story to Ascension?
A: It is a bit of a shame. But Jeremy is cooking up something fun for a later arc during all of this. So don't think he's completely out. As for N, this is something I have thought of. If N does escape Jack's clutches, he and Ginta plan to join the Network if they can. Since Ascension relates directly to Sora Shimomura and Vaan and such, I don't know how N will play in. But again, N has a tendency to makes friends with whomever he meets. Maybe since he isn't part of the Network, he could be a loophole to the government's demands. We'll have to figure this out.
Q: Very strong possibilities that can happen, before we conclude this interview is there anything you would like to add to our audience?
A: Well, to my audience and fellow roleplayers, thanks so much for welcoming me into your community. You're all really fun people, and it's both a pleasure and an honor to be so accepted and to know you. Yes, I am cheesy. Deal with it. To those I don't normally roleplay with, let's change that, okay?
Q: And there you have it folks, a warm invintation from a friendly roleplayer. We hope you accept his advice and watch closely to N's destiny as he faces the paths ahead of him.
