So... is comparing Runewriters characters to other characters definitely a Thing now? Because if so, I have one that I've been holding onto and I wonder how it'll be changed by the addition of Xira.

Hah! Gladly. Except, sadly, I've suddenly got the feeling that I may have already shared this, as I can never recall what I've commented and what I've merely considered commenting.

Either way, the one I thought of was the Three Wise Monkeys. See No Evil (Sev, who can't read), Hear No Evil (Tareth, duh!), Speak No Evil (Jonan, also duh!). It actually seemed to fit so well that I almost thought it was intentional.

Oh, also everyone being all "hey, Xira is far too friendly, I don't trust 'em", reminds me of a similar reaction to Calliope in Homestuck. Also, I think a lot of people probably struggled with how to pronounce her name as well. Hmm... I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Xira has a "brother" we don't know about.

Though if this WERE Homestuck, it's clear that Sev would be WV, Tareth would be PM, Jonan would be AR, leaving Xira to be WQ. Which... actually seems to work out quite well, come to think of it. Like, ridiculously.

Ahahahaha, comparing characters to other characters is just A THING I ALWAYS DO for some reason. xD All my D&D parties have to put up with me deciding who would be which Pony/X-man/Avenger/Disney princess, so of course with my own characters I do it CONSTANTLY.

Re: the monkeys - OH I think someone did bring up this comparison, but no one's made a connection with Sev in it, so I think this is new! A couple of people were waiting for me to introduce a blind character, though. x3

ALSO COMPARING THEM TO THE EXILES IS PRETTY GREAT AND I KIND OF LOVE IT.
