Anniversary Day 17

[aestivalis]

Day seventeen, so soon! Thank you all so much for your eager participation, and I hope you've been having fun posting! Particular welcomes to all our new players in the Red Ribbon Army - it's great to have you all! If you ever do find yourself with any questions please feel free to PM me or any of the other mods. We want to make colors_tcg as easy and welcoming for you as possible. And, of course, good fun!! So on that note let's get to the actual topic, shall we?

Family!

Simple as that, really! Tell me about families in anime, manga or video games that give you a lot of feelings. They don't have to be related by blood to count as family, nor do they have to have grown up together. Just tell us about character relationships based around those platonic familial feelings, and why you enjoy them so much! Though of course straight-up blood related family is fine too!

Then again, perhaps you are one of ~those~ fans. It's okay, don't be shy...! We've all been there. Do you prefer your fictional families doomed and twisted? Does your favourite character have a tendency to stab or get stabbed by their sibling? Does Gendo Ikari's approach to parenting make your heart go doki-doki? Do you SHIP family relationships?!?!?!?!

Let's just keep it clean and fun and respect each others opinions, you guys, hahaha. We're all friends here \o\ For participating today you will receive celebration17! You can also select two choice cards of the same color, but from different decks. So two brown choice cards, two red choice cards, whatever, just so long as they're from two different decks. Have at it, you all!

THIS POST IS NOW CLOSED.

I may be heartless, but... I don't really have any special feelings for families. If I have to pick, I'd prefer a group of friends who developed strong bonds during their adventures together, rather than having them from the beginning just because of family ties. Of course, one would instinctivly think of Persona 3 or 4 here, but I suppose almost any jRPG that has a playable party and is not aiming to be 'dark and twisted' works this way. Take almost any Final Fantasy game. Or Star Ocean, Suikoden, Ni No Kuni, Eternal Sonata, Colors RPG or almost any other jRPG I played in the last few years. You always start with a bunch of strangers, who would die for each other (AND SOMETIMES THEY DO SOB) near the end of the game. I think that's nice.

EDIT:
Oh waaaait, I know what I forgot, there's one family with awesome dynamics that I like! The Mishimas from Tekken! All of them want to kill the other ones and frequently kick each other's butts, but sometimes they can still meet for a family dinner.


Gonna take 2 purple cards - Cryogenic18 and Chainsaws02. (yeah, Nina is totally the best person to be choosing for a family round, right?)

OH YOU, RAVEN. Although you're right, the Mishima's really are a. pretty exceptional family. ROLE MODELS FOR US ALL.
