Quote from UrakoAric is experiencing bugs right now, so he PMed me for help. (I don't know why he chose me.) Anyways, he wanted me to review his character early. You'd be able to see it if it weren't for the glitch and i'd be willing to bet you'd approve of it's balance as well. The guy is very knew to writing actual stories so go easy on him, but he is off to a good start.
As for my popularity, i really don't know. Some people talk about my character being interesting so that might be it. I'm not surprised, I had that character idea for years, so I had plenty of time to refine it.
He PM'd it to me as well, I'm having a look right now.
And concerning your popularity, well, I wouldn't mind battling you again.
And again
And again
And again.... (You get where this is going ;) )
