Y'know what I love about these? It highlights the characters and items of mine that people like... and then the ones with things totally wrong with them.

Firstly... WHO THE HELL NOMINATED HARDROCK FOR BEST SIDEKICK AND BARRY FOR BEST LEADER?

Seriously, Hardrock is a character I really, honest to god, need to rework. He wasn't even mine initially, he was the creation of a user who was spinning their entire universe OFF OF MINE. When they left, I took their substandard characters, kept as much of what they created, and made them more mine. I apologize for his really bad story, if I had more time I'd fix him.

Barry... that is the second time in a row he's been nominated for best leader, and I DON'T KNOW WHY. Seriously, he's a freaking Jet expy from Avatar: TLA. Just without the dying. He's more than cliche, he's threadbare and bleh, back from when I was throwing together seven characters in a week.

That being said, Nulla the Hedgecat, Ivan the Machamp and the Z-6 Energy Blade are also meh from my current PoV, so the fact that people don't mind them as they are is good.

The MR-32, I nominated. Thank you for all the comments on it... even if half of 'em were just people gushing over the detail.
