So how'd I do this time? Was I faithful to the characters I borrowed for this? Well, soon Armorbound will have to fight someone other than innocent girls for a change. Soon, it will be over...

I think News Flash was portayed very neutrally, which is okay. No real drinking problem,yet. But PhoenixHawk is still alive.

I think you have done fine.

Ahhh, so this is the guy who AS'd me the other day in Bloody Bay. Not a bad story at all man. I thought the beginning felt a bit rushed though. The introduction of all the characters seemed like it was written more as a formality than a true introduction. I know it gets tedious for me to have to do a description or give a back story, with every story I write, for the same characters, over and over again. It does however make for good story telling (in my personal opinion). This is an area I probably need to work on a little myself since I had someone make the comment that it is sometimes hard to keep Myth and Wraith separate in my stories. I want that to a certain degree since they’re twins but not so much that it confuses people.

I guess what I am really trying to say is that no matter how well known a character is to us regular readers, character description and development is always important.

I agree with Myth about the importance of re-introducing characters. (I am EXTREMELY guilty of neglecting this) I think you've done a good job of keeping it fresh enough for me at least.
I'm not familiar enough to give a good telling on how well portrayed everyone's character is, but the relationships seemed to flow very naturally.

Well it is not so much that I thought Spectre did a bad job of describing them, quite the contrary. I got a very good idea of what everyone looked like; it just seemed rushed or forced. This is of course a very easy trap to fall into since, as you mentioned Fixit, alot of people don't even bother to take time to describe their characters anew with the begining of each story.

One of the main reasons I bring this up is becuase I myself am guilty of it apperantly. Voltech commented how he had always imagined Wraith as a big guy. Well Wraith and Myth are both average hight but well built young men. Embarassed My bad.

Once again another story that makes me wish I played enough to justify having a character in Onami Strike Force.

I don't know what the problem is but I have'nt been able to access the forums in a while and this is the first time I've been able to review anything since.

Anyway, since you've talked about Armorbound before I was wondering how his character would turn out here and this is pretty good, legitimately creepy evil kind of guy.

We've missed you Mr. welcome back.
I agree with the Armorbound comment. He's turning out better than I would have imagined.

yeah Spectre!
i see u didnt turn me into a transvestite waitress or whatever u said, and stayed true to the sarcastic nature of me. referring to the introduction, i have been doing background stories since forever so i know how much of a pain it is to type something about a toon over and over and over.

Armourbound needs a good zapping, like the one i gave him when Wrayth. took revenge on his ASer. (didnt expect me to be invis above, u did u? Twisted Evil )

all and all i liked it, and am anxious for part 3
