Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.

Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Already one of us? Make your presence known:

Because combined with loli characters that a lot of series have, the abbreviation has unfortunate connotations.

She's a great example of the Fool archetype, who's silly, extremely naive and sometimes thoughtless, but who possesses a vast reservoir of untapped potential and the ability to become magnificently powerful. She has an open and honest disposition that usually tries to reconcile people or to avoid conflict, but is a total badass when she does have to fight. She has a childlike quality to her (for reasons), but that enables her to be perceptive and kind to people. Basically, the kind of character archetype I really like. The same I slotted Flower!Saturos into.

That being said, I haven't played CP and won't open any spoilers about it, but as it currently stands, yeah. I get the feeling that hope will be disappointed, though. How did you understand CP, Miral? Or did you just play through without reading?

The Light of Hope Posts: 3,126 Group: Venus Clan Member #636 Joined: June 15, 2010 Gender: Wafu! Country: #226# True Name: Miral	CS spoilers Except at this point basically the entire cast can become the black beast at any time so that's not really a testament of her power. I can't say anything about Mu without CP spoilers When Rachel lets Noel take full control of the armament that lets her become Mu, she scrubs out to pretty much the entire cast and gets absolutely destroyed by Izayoi. I understood CP by reading it.

Even if Mu-12 and Noel have the same body and power, the personalities are different. And power level is not automatically badass.

She does Equilibrium-style gun-kata except with MOTHER[radio edit]ING SHOTGUNS for crying out loud. I didn't know characters showing emotion immediately makes it impossible for them to be badass. Pretty cool that you actually know Japanese though Mirterrible.

Yeah, pretty much this (Gogo Terribros). Plus Noel has the whole "knights of the blue flame" stuff going on, which is cool. So it's like balancing the moe/Fool side with firm resolve and JUSTICE. And yeah... gunkata with shotguns. How is that not amazing. Badass can take many forms, Gilgamush. It's one of the reasons I like Blazblue, because even the "moe" characters (Noel and Carl???) still have strong goals/desires as well as the ability to carry them out.

If anything, I actually find "moe/badass" characters more badass than "badass" characters. If a character has emotions and flaws but still has badassness to them, that makes them a ton more appealing than some emotionless badass character. Also, I want CP so bad right now, dammit.

Tenderness and vulnerability, far from detracting from badassness, enhance it: it paints a more nuanced portrayal of the character and magnifies their badassness in contrast.
