WELP since I've hit 1k comments, might as well throw this out there. I've really only the one character in the ring, so ask me anything about Ochre/Kanji!
Everything is awful and I'm laughing like a maniac.
Not really? He's only interacted with Delriza so far, and the only other Echos he's seen have been the if not good, then at least not actively malicious ones, like EDEN. (TBH, he likes EDEN, EDEN got them legos, which was awesome.)
He'll probably get an actual opinion once the trauma game kinda. Knocks him down a couple of pegs.
SPEAKING OF TRAUMA are you ready for this game, Ed, because I'm reading the logs on what you did the last time they ran this kind of game and wow bro.
If the team winds up in a stalemate, he will resolve the stalemate in whatever way he can that works out best for all parties involved.
But no he's probably not doing that again. It was a delicate situation related to a combination of 'everyone is running from doing anything at all,' 'nobody is agreeing on anything,' and 'nobody is willing to budge at all, eleventy billion times over.' So he did a dumb thing to help Tiamat. Like a determined shonen should. It's roughly the equivalent of having thirty seconds to untie a knot and deciding 'fuck it, I'm a wizard' and chainsaw lasering it in half.
At least that's what he thinks. Like- even though he's been told what the bad games are like, and even though he's been in plenty of games already, he still has this weird idea of how it will turn out, and what it'll be like, and it's just.
Well, it's just wrong. He's seeing it as almost like a gladiatorial kind of thing, or like one of the exploradoria's but with actual violence, rather than poem fights. This is going to be something of a rude awakening for him, especially because he's going to miss the entire first round and the mingle due to [INSERT UNKNOWN IC EXCUSE HERE], so he'll just be going in blind only to find his team suffering over shit he wasn't even there to even try to prevent.
So, you know, I'm ready?
Does Ed realize most of his new kids are murder-happy monsters? Like, I know nothing about Darker than Black, but Saph, Sword, and Ochre are all going to be bus happy, if this last game was anything to go by. (Not that Saph is playing, but still. Bus.)
He has an inkling that they are nowhere near as cute and fluffy as the original tiamats were (Seriously he and clover were the bus happy portion of the team).
I'm also pretty sure that Ed is going to actually be arguing on the 'PLAY LESS HARD' side of things, because of ic developments that he's been keeping an eye on giving him the idea that actually killing people is going to end badly on this particular game.
Which is nice for me because I'm used to him being the bus side of things, so a new angle is fun!
Where does Ochre peg Ed at on the murder/don't murder scale of things.
Based on their interactions so far? Kanji has Ed pinned pretty solidly on the 'murder' side of things. Their goal is to get their worlds back, so- fight as hard as you can to do it. Assume the other teams are doing so as well, because they probably are.
So, having Ed tell him to chill- he's not going to, say, ignore what Ed's telling him, but he is going to check and see if there's a status effect in play. Because that's basically going against EVERYTHING Ed's been saying so far. (Unless there's another team there, in which case he'll assume these are people who have reacted badly in the past and glare at them. Because he's a hufflepuff, apparently.)
(well luckily Ed is going to use logic when he does say something like that, so at least it won't be un edlike)
I'm most proud of his one in canon, wrt his sister. Over the course of it he comes to terms with the idea that no, some people are just going to be straight up evil and terrible no matter what and the only option they will give you is to take them out or they'll just keep doing it.
In the end, even though it kills him inside but he does it--because it's what he has to do.
Kanji can change any one thing about himself--what is it?

I don't see that happening twice.
SO HOW ABOUT KANJI R U READY.

What character arc of Ed's are you most proud of?
