Colin: Good god, did you have a lot of free time on your hands or what? You basically wrote soooo much that it took me five years to read and only a month or so of that time to realize that this kid is the real deal. ACCEPT with VARIOUS SNICKERING REMARKS ----- Angie: Ah, reviews. *pulls out gnawed-on red pen* Kasdeja. Reminds me of one of my flatmates' names. *blinks* Right. Back on track. We're smiting things... Doyle!!! I shall call him Doyle. *nods* Nice age. Good, brief family info. I adore the bar's name! On the other hand... Poor guy named Alfred. I think those parents should be shot. Multiple times. It is unnecessary torment for the boy... Interesting likes and dislikes. Gee, is there anyone who's overjoyed to be a senshi? ^^;; He's a bit obsessed about pie and liquor, isn't he? History... A bit unclear and confusing in places, mostly due to sentence structure, I think. All of that reference to training and equipment. Did it have a name or was he just blowing time and money? Something is just bothering me here. It seems like all he did was hang out at the bar and pound people... *blinks* The zoo... Okay, -now- we're starting to stretch things. Personality is lovely and detailed. *reads happily, points* No! Not doilies. Doyle! *sighs, flipping to early Angel episodes* *frowns* I'm having trouble with the hair. *giggles* Keep seeing a bronze helmet! Might knock his weight up a bit if he's got the muscles but that's being picky on my part. ^_^ Great descriptions, though. Very detailed fuku but I must object to the spikes. He'd fall over or hurt himself with 10 inches and 20 inches! Very niiiiice transformation. Fatal Attraction... Hmmm, I think it's awfully powerful but interesting. Wounded Soul is such a cool power but I can't quite get it to match up with the definition of "smite" in my head so I'm leaning toward ditch it. Bludgeon is much fun! And there's the monkey again... I like the monkey but why a monkey? Oh, I see why a monkey. Uh... You already have two senshi in Roanoke? Methinks then that dear Doyle would have to wait until one of your other fair ladies got bumped off. Final vote? Reject for revisions. The history seems dry and the monkey still confuses me. I think -somebody- would notice it. And Wounded Soul (which I love) just refuses to dovetail in with smiting for me. But the personality detail was -amazing-.
