This year will go down in my biography as the year in which I almost lost my mind completely over a fictional character, which also happened on my birthday. However, it was the first time in my life that a fictional character also affected me positively so much that my endocrine system (hormones) somehow fixed itself and I actually became healthier physically, and it in turn it had a positive effect on my mood as well.

So yeah... Thank you all who helped me get into AgK (though I mostly got into it after some people in NDS kept mentioning it). Even if the manga itself wasn't eye-opening or anything too special for me (it's fun but nothing deep), it was the fact that I wanted to discuss it caused me to pick a favorite character, which was the beginning of something great and terrible at the same time.

I have many favorite fictional characters and it's always been like this - even as a small child I would pick faves from cartoons and all that and make them "my own", like imaginary friends. Later, I began writing fanfics, drawing fanarts etc., that is, doing usual fan stuff. So it must be the way my brain works - I always need a fictional character to be a fan of, no matter what I do IRL. It's like and outlet for feelings, wishes, etc., something that helps me through hardships.

My feelings for each of my faves differ - some of them are kind of people I know I'd respect if they were real, some of them inspire me, some of them I like purely for the looks/cool factor/badassery, and sometimes I like the way they are written. Occasionally these factors are combined somehow. For Ran, it's a combination of bits from each factor: as a fictional character, his personality is interesting to me, with potential for depth, and if he were a real person (and had no corrupted-government-induced psychological trauma because let's face it, what happened to him there has a lot less probability of happening IRL), I'm sure I would have enjoyed his company as well. I like his role in the manga, I like his looks and design/overall style, and he also inspired me to pick up the creative activities I abandoned a while ago (drawing and writing).

Sure, he isn't too strong, and his role isn't significant, but that is what also makes him so interesting to me - any character flaws and faults, any omissions from their stories only make them seem more intriguing in my eyes, and I see the potential for developing and/or exploring them in my own fanfics. And this is why I'd never push my opinions about characters on others - my feelings for them are truly very personal. Actually, I'm all for others not sharing them, as I realize that being more "normal" is always a good thing U_U Sometimes I wish I could just "switch off" my brain's need for latching onto fictional characters, but I can't.

So yeah. I actually expected to skip to another fandom rather easily but I didn't and Ran is still special to me. He's my guardian angel and the brightest light in my pathetic existence :|

I wish AgK was a VN/Dating sim with many possible routes and endings and the ability to date literally anyone including:

- Budo (who dies of a heart attack during ***);

- Honest (whith an option to backstab him and take over the Empire);

- Champ (only if your character is a kid);

- Syura's little sister engineered by Doro and Honest.

Also featuring: the ability to rape and/or kill pretty much anything (because that's a norm in AgK-verse).
