This is going to take a SERIOUS amount of space on the following posts so please cope up with my text wall.
Melancholy:
score format (from 0 to 4)
Temperamental response modifier, often referenced in psychology as one of the 4 basic aspects pertaining the origin of personality, it makes up for the darkest kind of emotions and feelings having a representative "black" connotation, which is also the origin of the word itself.
Why do we need this? Well, I believe it's relevant to our interests in the sense the archetype behavior follows melancholic patterns to a certain extent, Fumika from Shigofumi and Enma Ai, are specific examples of characters who hold very dark and mysanthropic conceptions of life and humanity, which causes them to act in a cold indifferent way towards everything, the correlation between expressed behavior and melancholic personality are the criteria we should be looking into.
-Preference for solitude-
From (from 0=actively seeking for company to 4=absolute loner)
We should take notice if the character usually has people around her and befriends others, etc.
-Distrust for people-
Refuses other people assistance/help, doesn't likes to rely on subordinates to accomplish goals, doesn't likes to talk about herself.
From (from 0=pretty much gullible to 4=absolute distrust)
-Soliloquy Contemplation-
Characters often found talking to themselves or holding imaginary conversations while reflecting on (mostly depressing) subjects. (Rei at the End of Evangelion)
I guess this one should be either 4 or 0 (..?)
-Emotionally traumating experience-
This one should be measured according to the extent in which said traumatic experience affects her -degree of expressiveness- and her relationship to other people.
I guess comparing her previous self to her current self using -degree of expressiveness- would be a good way to set the score on this one.
All in all, after getting the mean score it should be something between 1 and 4, and I think it's good enough because melancholy is more of a reference marker for general stereotypes than anything else, while it makes up for a small bit of the kuudere charm points, it's nothing major.
Assertiveness:
score format (Additional score for accomplishing either)
The quality of being assertive, standing your ground without becoming influenced by external disturbances, or in this case, being completely unaffected by what's happening around you and being blunt about everything.
Tsukkomi remarks (+1) Being able to point out blatantly dumb things no one notices on the spot.
Honest remarks (+1) Being able to say anything that's on her mind regardless of time and place.
Eloquent remarks (+1) Showing high prowess on handling words and speeches.
Noncompliance (+1) Character is completely calm even when prompted to act.
Direct Approach (+1) Immune to doubt and danger.
They will get a plus for each one. I can't really think of anything else, but there might be something.
I will post my layout for the rest soon.
Apon this layout I could probably give a bit more of a rating for Zakuro. Just give me a bit more time to review. |
