User blog:Minato Arisato00/Minato's SFW Winter Awards Votes 2k17

I just can't miss this year's awards. With out much note of an entrance, I present my votes for the SFW 2k17 Winter Awards.

Best Hero
The category that defines those who serve the laws of justice by either taking it into their own hands or defending what's right regardless of anything that stands in their way. With that best hero is done, most of the guys here were quite decent. Let's see what the other two alignments have in store for me.
 * 1) Chloe-Su the Echidna: (The character is quite the standard hero with several personality issues that are all too common with the kind of hero she is. She did fight Eggman Nega and protects her friends like a guardian dog. Only thing keeping me on the fence a bit though is the fact that her anger can lead her to attack people over something as petty as making fun of her nerdiness. She also seems to lack regard for her surroundings when in a fit of rage, she can easily cause collateral damage or harm innocents around her area when taking down a target. All that added together, yeah she may mean well but at what cost is that when she could possibly be harming those she's trying to save?) +0
 * 2) Princess Penelope the Puppy: (In essence she helped a revolution and has a rare bloodline. Cool concepts but I wonder after rereading the page fifty times, just what does this character do? A majority of her history is her being aided by allies and friends through out the revolution, only to then lead to the death of the king controlling her home land. After the king dies, everything's left in stagnation as the character decides whether or not they want to go through with being a queen for her people. Even though she's destined for it and is probably the best choice they have, she still contemplates the whole thing. Her danger perception abilities allow her to know about oncoming danger but she's still able to be tricked into the wrong things? Development is the best thing I can suggest toward aiding the character. Maybe I'm just confused on a couple of things..) (Side-note: Why is Dark Gaia's Spawn theme the music on this page? It's catchy as all hell, but it doesn't suit the character lol.) +0
 * 3) Isaac the Hedgehog: (No known history? No known evidence to said heroics or any form of characteristics aside from those displayed on the personality. Wowie.) -1
 * 4) Rik the Spider Monkey (So he's a side-kick and does a lot of good things for the people around him. The characters not really flawed in any way that raises my eyebrows, he definitely seems up there for a role as a hero.) +1
 * 5) Arinku the Doberman : (I'm in desperate hopes this guy gets some recognition from this. Gonna definitely work on his page once done.)
 * 6) Raven the Cyberhog (Nexus Ultimatum): (He's an incredibly well developed character who is responsible for himself and eager to fix up any errors of his life to aid the betterness of the world. A sense of nostalgia of classical Sonic heroism hit me as I read the page.) +1
 * 7) Blitz the Wolf: (I'm legit getting tired of up-voting this guy lol. We've discussed this before, he's gonna win.) +1
 * 8) Alfred the Ancient: (This character was a rather nice read with great personality development. Life's given him shit but he realizes that just because his life is crappy it doesn't mean he can't prevent the same from happening to others. Just in general a really well written personal progression of the character from a neutral to a good hero.) +1
 * 9) Kioura The Angel Hedgehog: (This character suffers in terms of depth and actual purpose.. She's really not much of a hero and hasn't really done anything to earn that title of respect.. I hate to do this as the character just isn't developed enough but I'm gonna have to remain negative here.) -1

(Total Positives: 4, Total Negatives: 2.)

Best Neutral
May the battle of being morally-cardboard begin! I feel I was too harsh here.. Maybe I'm wrong on some stuff, but this run just didn't hit me as neutral folks. Most of em were either big normies or bad villains.)
 * 1) Luella the Mouse: (This character makes me want to kill myself, Jesus. Like it's not that she's terribly bad, it's just the whole character is depressing as hell. She's just a normally depressed person. Like yeah she's neutral, but she's not really shattering any moral boundaries to suit her own goals or anything.. Come to think of it she's only like this cause she's proven herself to be a failure at everything else.) -1
 * 2) "Impression" the Wolf: (I'm having the same problem I had with Luella with this character, there's no conflict of morality or well any references to his state as a neutral.. Good on ya for the music though.) +0
 * 3) Aloeru the Vaurotis: (Fuckin 'ell, we're dealing with an overpowered ass character. Shit if his edge was a sword, we'd all be doomed. There's not much neutral about this character either, he's down right evil I'd say. Pissed because of the new leader that took over. Such a petty reason to be a villain too.) -1
 * 4) Dark Lord Riven: (He better get his god damn pizza. Yeah he's neutral and works to suit his own ends. ) +1
 * 5) Jackpot the Gambler: (Another true neutral, although he should seriously get more development as the page is very unfinished and thus gives me no reference to what his morality is like. Gonna have to go neutral.) +0
 * 6) Ember the Hyena: (This character seems pretty evil rather than neutral. All she does is follow orders like a robot, which I guess is a neutral thing however when your master is pretty much evil, so too will you be considered a villain by association.) -1
 * 7) Tessa Huntress The Hedgehog: (Same as Luella and Impression.. Like yeah she's neutral but she stands off as more normal than anything with no conflict of morality or anything.) -1

(Total Positive: 1, Total Negative: 4)

Best Villain
Villains are poor and distrubed members of society shaped to be rather disgusting people by how crappy society has treated them. Some really do horrible things for a good future, others are down right cut throats who could care less about the lives they slaughter. Generally, this topic wasn't so bad. Really good stuff on here.
 * 1) Zak-Ryder the Hedgehog: (He's a controlled nut-bar who does some nasty shit for what he deems is beneficial to himself. Down right nasty but not out of control or a try-hard..) +1
 * 2) Arna the Tasmanian Devil : (Arna can be considered a villainess, but really her character is supposed to be more leaning toward chaotic neutral. She really is out for herself and the safety of those she cares about, aside from that she literally feels indifferent to everything. She's not a villain and I never wrote her to be one. Although now that I think about it.. She's a lot more evil than most of my characters..)
 * 3) Jack: (He's more of a neutral than most neutrals above! Jesus. A villain he is not though..) -1
 * 4) Xavek the Techno-Organic: (He reminds me of Dr. Nefarious from Ratchet and Clank. Death to those squishies!) (Side-note: I love the theme on the page.) +1
 * 5) Runihuros Dreadscorch: (Almighty and powerful, he's a tyrannical dick head. He's a true cut-throat, he's down right despicable too and it was his actions that led him to dying at the hands of a hero.) +1
 * 6) General Serges: (He doesn't really come across as evil to me, more so he is just on the wrong side of things. He's incredibly honor bound (not saying that villains can't be honor bound), but he's just a pawn to those that order him around. He comes across as a neutral to me if anything. Still though his masters have had him do stuff that isn't too good in the grand scheme of things.) +0

Best Character Design
May the most stylish win!

Male

 * 1) Vexx the Timewalker: (Vexx is well designed and has a rather nice looking outfit to suit his character.) +1
 * 2) David The Echidna: (No offense Smash, but he looks like an emo Smash. He also looks unrealistically young for his age (even at death). I do like his clothing style though.) +1
 * 3) Amasis Khnum the Jackal: (The colors on the character don't really mix well, but I do like his clothing for his setting.. I just can't help but be neutral here though..) +0
 * 4) Vihn Kasigira the Spaniel: (That's a big ass hat and some bright ass colors .) +1
 * 5) Doctor Jay the Hedgehog: (I really don't like the art-style/design of this character..) -1
 * 6) Lance the Rabbit: (A rather basic design..) -1

Female
All around a very stylish awards season we're having. Very few of these characters were poor in design.
 * 1) Angelique the Wolf: (God I love her design, it reminds me of my Arna. Such a well done job, I love the colors.) +1
 * 2) Vilahra the Dragon: (Not a big fan of the colors, but the character is designed well.) (Side-note: I love Silverluv's artwork, she actually aided in giving Domino a final design which I love to death. She's fairly underrated and she puts up with a lot of request whores, she deserves more credit than you know.) +1
 * 3) Rosaria Robotnik: (Another design I quite like, although the colors are kinda all over the place with this one. A lot of purples and blues.) +1
 * 4) Ziggy the Butterfly: (Ziggy is adorably designed.) +1
 * 5) Keira The Angel Hedgehog: (Her deisgn reminds me of some one from Sonic Riders. It's simple but does the job right.) +1
 * 6) Evaline the Chilla: (Yes.) +1
 * 7) Jayda-Su Pyrovolt the Echidna (Post Genesis Wave Future): (Really not a big fan of the design here.. The colors don't mix well and the character looks like they're wearing a poor-man's wig.) -1
 * 8) Celesta the Nightmare: (I love Celesta's design, it actually inspired me to design Vaylor's figure and appearance.) +1

(Total Positive: 10, Total Negative: 3)

Strongest Character

 * 1) Okáno the Eyes of the Forest Cycle:
 * 2) Orin the Dragon : (While the character needs to be developed, Orin is a one man army. He's durable, strong, acccurate, and powerful. His powers of radiation can melt armor of his foes and cause deadly effects such as cancer to his enemies, he has enough brute strength to fend off small groups with his bare hands, and his expertise in guns and marksmanship makes him an incredibly accurate gunner regardless of the gun. There's a reason why he was accepted into the Vanguards easily and forgiven for his past evils. He is definitely strong.)
 * 3) Leyvaten the Dragon:
 * 4) Ramonna the Hedgehog:
 * 5) Arna the Ravager:
 * 6) Vul:
 * 7) Mars the Dire Wolf:
 * 8) Devoyva the Conqueror:
 * 9) Tesla The Hedgehog:
 * 10) Xavis Pyrovolt:

Best Speaker
Burst those lungs mates. I just couldn't be neutral with any of the ones here, whenever something was bad it really didn't have redeeming qualities. The only two good ones were kinda basic at best too..
 * 1) Blitz the Wolf: "People can be dumb, mean, crazy, sad, and a bunch of other things. But it doesn't matter if they are those things - if they're trying their hardest, if they want to make things better, if they really want to do good... then I say we give them that chance." (A basic way of saying we can all do good.) +1
 * 2) Reens the Hedgehog: "Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and the world thinks you're stupid for being too sensitive. That's why I always have a smile on my face, even when I'm dying inside. Who wants to be sensitive anyway? It just shows you have a heart that isn't made of stone." (This character's got some serious insecurities. Not to mention the fact that crying doesn't make you any of that. Eh.. I just don't think this quote really is good for anything.) -1
 * 3) Kioura The Angel Hedgehog: "She gave it her best, to survive and maintain her life, for me, because, she knew, that no one would take her rightful place. So she created me, and I was launched into a whole new mystery, adventure, and a lot more, with a team by my side, which is Team Rebellion. And now, I'm going to fight, in order to find all of the remaining mobians that are still remaining. Together, we'll the pass the mountains, deserts, and ruins, to solve each mystery, so we can find all of them. But me myself isn't going to give up for the next generation, since I'm gonna fight till the very end, and on the battlefield. I'll wreck every single enemy that stands in my way, but if I'm standing alone on the battlefield, when all of them has already disappeared, then, it will be, just me and Keira's axe, fighting a thousand shadow monsters, on my way to the end." (This speech just doesn't seem very natural. It's almost like it is describing a narrative in first person, rather than actually being a speech. Heck, it even has a grammatical issue. It's too long for its own good too with no real message besides "I'm determined".) -1
 * 4) Knockout the Wolf: "I do want to avenge them. But you, Zagan... you've tried to atone for what you've done, unlike the others. Call me crazy, but I believe anyone who tries to make up for the bad things they've done can be forgiven if they're trying hard enough. Like you, for instance." (I really don't have much to say here, it's a message about forgiveness.) +1
 * 5) Dark Lord Riven: "I hired you guys to do my dirty work for me. And because your last boss got himself killed. And the guy before that, and the guy bef-- do you see why I don't like these pointless questions?" (If the goal of this quote was to make me smirk it worked, but I really just don't see any kind of point to this quote. "You do my dirty work because the other guys before me who got to order ya'll around died" wowie, we've got a great message here.) -1

(Total Positive: 2, Total Negative: 3)

Best Location

 * 1) Azima : (This collaberation was incredibly hard to make and took a lot out of my friends and I. We worked really hard to ensure we have this really vibrant place to store our characters and in turn our universe to make it a collective and breathing planet. I hope our efforts are noticed.)
 * 2) Cinnabar Forest:
 * 3) Wingstrong Orphanage:
 * 4) Emerald School:

Best Leader

 * 1) Character the Lynx:
 * 2) Xavis Pyrovolt:
 * 3) Sharifa the Lizard:
 * 4) Olivier the Culpeo : (Olivier led a revolution and inspired everyone around in Mavenland to stand up for what little freedom they could cling to. While he died and was overwritten in history by following dictators, he was a man who inspired hope to hopeless people and changed the tides of his country, regardless of how short his triumph was. Seriously guys, he's a leader.)
 * 5) Vlad the Komodo Dragon : (Just read his article, I really don't have much to address here. He's daddy kek and wants to lead a one world government and he's competent enough for it too.)
