User blog:Wikikinetic/Winter Awards 2018: Wiki's Votes

Hi everyone! This is me, Wikikinetic, voting for the first time ever. Yay!

Like Lee, I'm just going to use numbers for my votes: +1 (Upvote), -1 (Downvote), and 0 (Neutral).

Best Hero

 * Chloe-Su the Echidna (Light Mobius): (0) The quotes are good, and the personality is mildly interesting. However, all of the sections of the article—especially the History section—are so long that it's difficult to figure out what the important parts were, making me find them uninteresting. I'm giving this a neutral rating, as, in my opinion, the high points and low points of the article approximately balance each other out.
 * Kennedy the Chaos Tiger: (0) Like Chloe-Su's article, this article has high points and low points. The high points are higher: I really like the Relationships section, as it gives a lot of good insight into Kennedy's character. However, the low points are more frequent and sometimes lower: There are multiple hard-to-navigate sections (Personality, History, and Powers), his power set seems almost too powerful for someone in his position in relation to other characters in the universe, and there are multiple points where the article calls attention to the fact that it's supposed to be amusing, resulting the part of the article becoming annoying due to how pointedly obvious the supposed humor is. So like Chloe-Su's article, I'm giving this a neutral rating due to the approximate balance of high points and low points.
 * Raven the Cyberhog (Nexus Ultimatum): (-1) Four of the sections (History, Powers, Relationships, and Weaknesses) were way too long for my tastes, and would have been more enjoyable if they were drastically shorter. Also, the section about Raven's nightmare is too graphic and creepy for me. The Personality section was mildly interesting, but the rest of the article bothered me enough for me to give this a downvote despite the slight interestingness of the Personality section.
 * Yume Paradisia the Kitsune Rabbit: (+1) The History section is longer than it needs to be, and the Appearance section could be a bit shorter. However, the rest of the article is concise and, in some places (mainly Abilities and Weaknesses), are fairly well-written, so I'm giving this an upvote.
 * Zaffre Fylloma the Koala: (+1) The article is well-written and concise. Very deserving of an upvote in my opinion.

Best Neutral

 * Checkers the Husky: (+1) Another concise and well-written article; definitely deserving of an upvote.
 * Christina the HedgeCat: (+1) This article, despite its length, was interesting enough to compel me to read all the way through it out of sheer interest rather than a desire to figure out what rating to give it. That said, the Development section (the first one in the article) was a bit boring to get through, but by the time I was halfway through the General Info section (which directly follows the Development section), I couldn't stop reading the article. Amazing article, definitely deserves an upvote.
 * Luella the Mouse: (-1) The article reflects Luella's pain and suffering, but does so in a way that makes me want to distance myself from her and the article in general, rather than making me feel sympathetic towards her. It also uses the word "umbrakinesis" to describe powers not directly relating to shadow, which annoys me (as it almost always does when I see "umbrakinetic" characters who can use their umbrakinesis to heal people or the like). I barely enjoyed the article at all and so am giving it a downvote.
 * Mars the Dire Wolf: (+1) Mildly interesting. Nothing especially notable here, either good or bad, but my ultimate feeling about the article was a positive one, so I'm giving it an upvote.
 * Nocmere: (-1) Vaguely interesting, but its frequent grammatical errors and confusing segments give me an overall negative opinion of the article, which is why I'm giving it a downvote.
 * Quinn the Cat: (+1) This article is fairly concise and somewhat well-written. No problems here with giving it an upvote.
 * Rei the Psionic: (+1) Rei's article is mildly interesting, its biggest feat being that Rei manages to be an interesting immortal character; unlike the stereotypical cursed immortal, Rei accepts that immortality involves losing her loved ones at regular intervals and that she can't kill herself to end this cycle of loss, two things that a lot of other immortal characters refuse to cope with. The power of inevitability is questionable, as it seems peculiar and/or world-breaking that someone should be able to make something impossible to be stopped at all, ever, but the rest of the article is decent, so I'm giving this an upvote.
 * Rhyna the Echidna: (+1) The character is fairly interesting and subtly amusing, and so should definitely get an upvote.
 * Split the Hedgehog: (-1) I find the character bothersome and not at all interesting. Also, the article is full of non-sequiturs and unexplained bits. There's nothing redeeming to me at all in this article, so I'm giving it a downvote.

Best Villain

 * Luna the Bunny: (-1) There's so much to say about her that I'm breaking it into bullet points. Prepare for a very long assessment of Luna's character.
 * The Appearance section is fine, but it confuses me by mixing up Luna's physical traits and clothing items. I generally like to see all of the physical traits in one part and all of the clothing items in another (preferably after the physical traits), so I don't get confused about what the character is wearing while reading about the physical traits.
 * The Personality section is, again, decently well-written, but it repeated itself frequently enough that I thought that it was contradicting itself until I re-read it a few times, which is a minus.
 * The History is somewhat disturbing, and it annoys me by making Luna look kind and sympathetic and then turning her into a psychopathic murderer…all with the excuse of "Well, it was your fault, stupid humans!"...which is supposed to make me feel bad, even though I wasn't involved (and wasn't even in that timeline). I almost always find the sympathetic-villain-who-you're-then-supposed-to-hate to be annoying.
 * The History section does make White look like an interesting guy, so that's a plus, but that doesn't change the fact that I find Luna's history to be disturbing and annoying (for reasons stated above).
 * Her Powers are okay...a little overpowered, but since she's Max's main villain, that's probably fine. The exception is the "destroying minds" thing, which basically wipes any character she gets her hands on, and so is not a good thing to have to deal with in a story.
 * Overall, the character may be fine in roleplays, and the page is somewhat well-written, but her page—like Luella's—just makes me want to get away from it, so I'm giving this a downvote.


 * Mindy the Cat: (+1) The writing is pretty good, good enough to make me feel really bad for Mindy's daytime self and wish the best for her, while simultaneously disliking her nighttime self and feeling bad for her daytime self for having to cope with it. It's also interesting to see how Mindy arranges her singing career around having two personalities and subsequent skills, despite both personalities wanting to get rid of each other. Overall, this is generally well-written and deserves an upvote.
 * Rixon: (-1) In my opinion, this character is just creepy: nothing more, nothing less. For this reason, I'm downvoting this.
 * Spice the Hedgehog: (+1) Spice is an interesting character, and his page is well-written, so I'm giving this an upvote.
 * Void the Jackal: (0) The page is mildly well-written, but there's also something a little off-putting to me about the page. These two balance out for me, so I'm giving it a neutral vote.

Best Speaker

 * Amber the Razor-fox: "Everyone lives to their own rhythm. Mine’s just a few beats higher than everyone else’s."
 * Felicia the Cat: "Oh no, darling, I didn't come here empty-handed... See, I'm here to propose a life-changing deal. If you do not take it, you will be just a worthless criminal apprehended by me that was trialed for terrorism and locked behind bars to rot for the rest of your life. Of course, if you do take it, you will be just a worthless friend that betrayed the trust of the few people that care for your pathetic existence. See what I mean, darling? Either way, your life changes now."
 * Ion the Hedgehog: "Please, I’ve studied what you all can do, and frankly, I have seen better. I have faced even stronger enemies then you, like ones that had control over an entire Nexus and the entire omniverse at that. He could have wiped us out if he tried. I know how to beat you and your pals. Also, you heard me! C-O-W-A-R-D! Coward! You’re running from a fight that you can't handle. I think you're scared to even face the likes of me, and trust me, I don't play around like I used to!"
 * Kennedy the Chaos Tiger: "People who make fun of you are like fire. A small amount you can just put out. If it grows stronger, you need more force. But if it eventually blazes so bright, you can't put it out yourself... that's when your friends, the firefighters, come to help you."
 * Lee Prower: "If you think I'm dangerous, there's something you should know. If I think, I am dangerous."
 * Padparadscha the Tortoise: "I'm only going to say this once, so you'd better listen. I am about as civilian as someone can be. Pulling weapons on me is seriously dishonorable. I'm off limits."
 * Reens the Hedgehog: "''Laugh and the world will laugh with you. Cry and the world will think you're stupid for being too sensitive. That's why I always have a smile on my face."
 * Sneer the Hedgehog: "Everyone's a moron, aren't they?''"
