⚔ HOW'S MY DRIVING? ⚔

Welcome to Exsilium's game-wide HMD! These will now be occurring once every two months, instead of once every three.

How It Works:

The gamewide HMD is an opportunity for players to come together and bring each other feedback about one another's playing. Constructive criticism is encouraged, however what that means is that it must be constructive. If you are going to offer up criticism, we encourage that you provide suggestions to the player within your critique. We are here to improve! It is also acceptable to let someone know if you enjoy their playing, but note that unhelpful or empty responses ("Oh, I love you so much!!", "Your playing is bad and you should feel bad.") without any real substance are discouraged.

If you like what a player is doing, tell them exactly what it is and why! If you have questions about their playing, this is what this forum is for as well.
It is not mandatory, and you have no obligation to respond if you don't wish to.

Anonymous commenting is enabled for the sake of anonymous crit, and IP logging is on for the sake of continued accountability. Only moderators will see IP addresses and they will only be checked if things get out of hand. Please remember to be thoughtful and respectful in your crit-giving. Full Disclosure: The moderator team may still be given anonymous, non-IP logged criticism here at the suggestions page or their personal HMD posts.

Please fill out the form below and leave a comment with your name or handle in the subject line!

Additional Comments: Monica sort of won Huey's (admission that he still has) affections? So she's really happy right now. There is light in her world. But at the same time that doesn't really change her attitude around anyone but Huey (and Elmer I guess) sooo...

Additional Comments: I’ve been having trouble with receiving notifs lately, so if I HAVE missed a tag of yours, I promise it’s not intentional. If I’ve not replied to something of yours in 24 hours, just give me a prod. Chances are Dreamwidth hid it from me.

[unmasking]

Player Name: Alison

Peter Parker ★ Marvel 1610 ★ unmasking
Kate Bishop ★ Marvel 616 ★ selfequipped
Scott McCall ★ Teen Wolf ★ banded

Personal HMD(s): On all the journals!
Anonymous Commenting Allowed?: No
Additional Comments: Peter is starting to consider giving up on being Spider-Man because he doesn't think it's the "approach," so to speak, that Exsilium requires after talking to a lot of people (but especially Charlie). He's also been outed as Spider-Man and is trying to play that as casually as possible while also dealing with the fact that he's probably dead for good. Kate and Scott haven't advanced much yet, but Scott specifically I'm trying to balance the disposition he had in the 3a finale with what apparently comes right after. (Teen Wolf time ...)

SAFFY'S PEOPLE

[riku]

Player Name: Saffy

Character(s) you play:

Sheena Fujibayashi ★ Tales of Symphonia ★ holeseeker
Luke fon Fabre ★ Tales of the Abyss ★ chosenfake
Roxas ★ Kingdom Hearts ★ otherness
Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu ★ The World Ends With You ★ symphonist

Personal HMD(s): They all have anon enabled HMDs on their journals, pinned to the top.
Anonymous Commenting Allowed?: Yes, though if possible, I'd like to have anon crit posted directly to the private hmds so I can reference it more easily.
Additional Comments:
Hi. I haven't really been that active due to family things, that's why I missed the last HMD, but I'm here now and back from the holidays and everything else. There's plenty I'm unsure about here. Sheena is my oldest, having hit a year this month; she's in a relationship with Zelos and I'm trying to keep it as IC as possible. Luke is spinning his wheels a lot and doing nothing due to some backsliding that happened when the place got nuked. It hit him really hard due to its resemblance to Akzeriuth and his lack of close CR has made it difficult to pull him out of his depression. Roxas I've failed with the most-- I have a network post planned and I hope to get him out more now that I have all my ducks in a row... mostly.

Joshua is brand new and a character type I haven't attempted in a game before. He's my weakest voice so please, please help me be fantastic and not Shitty Fandom Joshua. TY.

[bloodthirsts]

Player Name: Manda

Character(s) you play:
Seras Victoria ★ Hellsing ★ bloodthirsts
Clementine ★ The Walking Dead ★ smarterthanthem

Personal HMD(s): Here!
Anonymous Commenting Allowed?: Yes
Additional Comments: Seras has two previous games history which has affected her personality some! This is detailed in her app on her journal. Clementine on the other hand is pure canon but brand new.

December/early January was a bad month for me for various reasons so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

[angel_of_death]

Best Seras ever. Hands down. No questions.

[oursavinggrace]

Player Name: Kelly

Character(s) you play:
Jason Grace ★ Heroes of Olympus ★ oursavinggrace
Personal HMD(s): here
Anonymous Commenting Allowed?: Yes
Additional Comments: He's new here but I'm always open to crit! And his personal HMD is anon-enabled and has IP logging off, if that's more comfortable for anyone.

[inhumanity]

Player Name: Farrah

Character(s) you play:
Christopher Chareau de Red ★ Baccano! ★ inhumanity
Personal HMD(s): here!
Anonymous Commenting Allowed?: Yes
Additional Comments: Christopher's in a pretty unusual context because of test tube daddy's presence, but it's never directly dealt with in canon. I've been doing a lot of extrapolating and guesswork to figure out not just how he acts around Huey but also how this will affect the way he acts around everyone else he knows. If anyone has any comments/questions/concerns about that, I'd especially welcome them.

[gluegun]

Player Name: hallie!

Character(s) you play:

alison hendrix ★ orphan black ★ gluegun

Personal HMD(s): here.
Anonymous Commenting Allowed?: sure.
Additional Comments: alison is super brand-new, and so there's really only her intro thread to go off here! but she is a new voice for me, so i'd like any and all feedback you have. i'm really focused on keeping her tags engaging and interesting to react to, and keeping her voice consistent.

[tergiversant]

Rosette Christopher ★ Chrono Crusade ★ soul_sister
Vennett ★ NPC ★ the_array_team
Rufus Barma ★ Pandora Hearts ★ tergiversant
Personal HMD(s): Heyah!
Anonymous Commenting Allowed?: I prefer not
Additional Comments: Rosette is pretty settled in and feeling fairly confident there. I'm concentrating more on Barma this month to get him established. Had a bit of RP blargs in there, but I should be up and rolling again.

[heartstorage]

Player Name: Yuff

Character(s) you play:
Zelos Wilder ★ Tales of Symphonia ★ wilder
Sora ★ Kingdom Hearts ★ heartstorage

Personal HMD(s): On their journals!
Anonymous Commenting Allowed?: Y
Additional Comments:
Zelos has been in Exsilium for a year, and also comes from a post-death canon point. This means he's been hiding his identity as much as he can. I want to make it clear that Zelos and Kaneis are one in the same though! While he definitely puts on different "acts" between the two identities (though more often these days they are starting to bleed together) - it's still the same person mentally. There are no multiple personalities going on.

Sora meanwhile has been here a few months and other than learning how shitty his canon can be, he hasn't changed too much. He's still reeling from receiving some bad news, so he's definitely trying to be over the top with his cheer. If you see anything wrong, please let me know!
