Character meme
Haven't done an interactive fandomy meme in awhile, and this one looks interesting. Ganked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Choose a character from a fandom that I know--video game, movie, book, tv show, etc.--and I'll answer the questions below.
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? (Personality wise, not anything pertaining to the plot.)
7) If you were in the fandom with this character, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or most hated?
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone who's new to the fandom?
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?

Kamui
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
Kamui was difficult for me to get a handle on. He went through a lot of personality changes as the story progressed -- and understandably so, but still. Overall, though, I'd say that I like him.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Since he's the protagonist, I guess I'd have to say yes. :D
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
I always find "kid must make choice on which the fate of the world rests" to resonate, even if it is common in these sorts of stories, so he works for me on that level. And I feel him on the loss of all the people he loves -- his monther, Kotori, Fuuma -- under such horrific circumstances.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
See above.
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
Again with the canon, except in this case it's with Kotori. I see the appeal of shipping him with Fuuma -- love/hate/friendship/history all tangled up has all kinds of possibilities. I also like him with Yuzuriha (sp); I think they'd balance each other out.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? (Personality wise, not anything pertaining to the plot.)
I can't think of anything. I can't see how changing anything wouldn't completely screw up the plot. He's just too key to everything that happens.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
Hmm, I doubt we'd interact much -- I'm not so good at breaking through walls like his IRL.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or most hated?
Again with not being so much into the fandom. I like him, but I don't feel strongly enough about him as a character to call him a favorite.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone who's new to the fandom?
It would be hard to talk up the series without talking about him, so sure.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
See above.
Re: ...aaaaand I broke the comment limit!
Personally I've never really seen the appeal of F/K, but it's the 2nd most popular pairing after S/K, so I keep it quiet lest I be smote. >__> I want Kamui to be emotionally well adjusted! Keiichi and Yuzu are much better for him. |D
Re: ...aaaaand I broke the comment limit!
Now, if Kamui were a real person, I'd tell him to stay far, far away, go find a nice girl like Yuzu, or a nice boy like Keiichi if he prefers. ;)
Re: ...aaaaand I broke the comment limit!
Anyway, this is X, so Kamui clearly prefers guys. XD Keiichi it is. (Lately we've been joking around that he should end up with Arashi, because Kamui and Arashi are exactly alike in all the wrong ways, and would bitch at one another merrily for years.)
Re: ...aaaaand I broke the comment limit!
Clearly. Kotori, who's that? :P
Anyway, I totally see what you mean about the creepiness of K/F as a fluffy bunny pairing. I'd be all shocked and horrified that people write them that way, but since this is fandom I know better than to be surprised. ;) It's the whole difficulty of it, whether or not Fuuma is redeemed, that I would find interesting. But then again, my track record of liking pairings that would have difficulty with an easily-found happily ever after is well known. ;)
Re: ...aaaaand I broke the comment limit!
But anyway. I don't mind pairings with problems to overcome - I still maintain that even with Sorata living past the end, Sorata/Arashi has a lot to get past before they can have anything close to happy and fluffy. It's just that I also think there is a limit. XD
Kamui and Fuuma could work things out, but there would be a ton of weirdness between them even so; since I adore Kamui so much, I want him to be happy without any weirdness. >D
