.hack/sign

[tsukasa]

Has somebody seen .Hack/Sign? Is a great anime with an interesting story.There are many cool characters but Tsukasa is the best one.

Also if you voted put why would you want to be that character or something else.

[Gamemaniac]

why did you put Sora in ?...

I like his habilities more than his attitude ... anyway ... hi uses Katars ... is quick ... stealth .... maybe an assasin ... (I have only seen the first five chapters) ... and his way to manipulate conversations ... hes great ... Note: the fact I like this character dosen't mean I aprove or would do the same things if I was on his place...

[tsukasa]

Yes, you are right, when I did the poll I feeled as if I forgot a character, but it was Sora.Y es he is also an important character,and also cool. Good that you don't approve the things he does, he is childish and also does some incorrect things.

[Gamemaniac]

By the way ... you didn't say why you like tsukasa ... that other than saying his the best ...

so why you choose tsukasa?

[tsukasa]

I like Tsukasa because I like how the story develops in him. Also, I identify with him in many aspects and I am almost similar to him. Other reason is that I also like how he fights with his rod and how he dresses.

[Mephistopheles]

I haven't seen .hack/sign, but I'm open if you want to show it to me, LOL

[tsukasa]

Its about a character in an online game named Tsukasa, he can't log off from the .hack world, so he lives there and starts to get depressed and other things about his stance in the world. Also he is persecuted by a group called the Scarlet Knights due to his supposedly illegal actions in the game.

Actually, they pass it in Animax, but it goes almost in the ending, it is passed on Monday like at 1:00 or 1:30, i dont remember precisely and in sunday(precisely) at 1:00. However, they go almost in the end of the series.

[Gamemaniac]

I don't have Animax :C .... oh ... well ...

I have some chapters ... need to get the others .... (don't ask why I don't have it complete right now)....

Mephistopheles: So if you want I could show you the beggining of the series ...

And about the little story summary tsukasa(the member) made ... well as far as I know is a little different ....
{Background stuff}
In a not so distant future the internet on a global scale has been afected and nearly destroyed by a virus called Pluton's Kiss(or something like this), created by a child. Now only one OS has not been afected. This OS is called "Altimit".

Later on the same company developed an game called "The World", which is a MMORPG(Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). The game becomes a superhit all around the globe short after released. This is caused mainly for the great realism and liberty of movement the game provides to the players. The World is a virtual reality game to which you get connected through a visor of some sort and an special controler. The succes of the game is maybe because its the only MMORPG or online game avalible.
{/background}

Now all of the above won't be seen on the series(at least not on the chapters I have seen). What you will see on series are the adventures of Tsukasa. Tsukasa is player that is no longer able to disconnect from the game. What makes Tsukasa special are the powers he has that have never been seen before on the game. Also he has a guardian moster that when it kills a character on the game, the player on the real world faints. But tsukasa is not alone. Later on other character will join in to help him solve his problems and the mysteries of "The World".

Characters

Tsukasa:
Magician unable to logout from "The World". He can't remember much about himself and even though his some what lost, he dosen't wants to receive any help from others. His personality is confeusing and causes a lot problems to Mimiru and others, since every time they intend to help him, he gets mad easily and hides from them.

Mimiru:
She is a Swordswoman quite strong and always ready to help others or to engage on an adventure. Mimiru tries to make a friendship with Tsukasa but he seems uninterested. As things get worse on "The World", she gets frustrated with Tsukasa but her sence of frienship and justice keeps her from quiting.

Bear:
A friendly Swordman in "The World", usually accompanied by Mimiru or BT. At the begining he seems not to like Tsukasa but since Mimiru is worried about Tsukasa he gets interested and later on he investigates him on "The World" and even on the reak world.

Subaru:
Leader of the Scarlate Knights, a group of players dedicated to promote and mantaine security and order on "The World". She has always been highly respected. When she meets Tsukasa she tries to help him but since Tsukasa is a criminal, this affects her image.

BT: (Maybe a sorcerer)
Mainly egocentric, she only cares about herself and her goul. She tends to relate with many groups of player depending on which one is more convinient for her. She knows many player on "The World" because that way she can get more information about a hidden item.

Sora: (Maybe assasin)
He is a PK (Player Killer), he goes around killing players and stealing their accounts. On the other hand, he is one of the strongest players on "The World". He is pretty smart even thought in real life he is quite young. It's better to be woth him than against him.

Crim:
No longer a Scarlate Knight, he seems the most "normal" of all characters since he knows how not to mis up thigs between "The World" and real life. No matter what happens on "The World" he knows it's only a game. It seems he had an special relationship with Subaru in the past and his one of the stringest characteres just like Sora, but as opposed to Sora he tries to be a hero.

Kinkan:
Current Captain of the Scarlate Knigths and most loyal servant of Subaru, even thought he not always agrees with her and he alwars guards her. He seems to repect Subaru a lot, but it is not sure if there is more than that about his feelings to her. Either way tends to take care of problems by himself and sometimes overruns Subarus decitions.
(Now this one is kind of strange ... as it is not impossible but ... as far as I know Kinkan is controlled by a girls ... so how come she could feel something for Subaru ....Oh well Who am I to judge)

Note: all this was not written originaly by me ... the info about .hack was translated by me from a latinamerican forum. The user who posted this was "Rubentvs". I wont post the name of the forum so don't ask for it ...

so there you go some info about the series and the characters.... hope you like it cause it took me some time to translate ....

[Mephistopheles]

So, characters are a bunch of gaming adicts? LOL

[Gamemaniac]

Well not all .... as you can see on the character description ... Crim is a more controlled player... in other words "normal" person.

[Mephistopheles]

You know, normal people generally tend to bore spectators... that's why the main characters are not normal people.

[Gamemaniac]

Actually what is a "Normal" person ... after all if everyone is different and normal is "the most common" then there are no normal people at all .....


P.S. this is going off topic...

[tsukasa]

You can't specify if they are normal persons, however, in .hack/sign, the characters in real life rarely appear, focusing on the characters in the game, they are different as in real life, but because the characters in real life rarely appear we can't know what happens to them by seeing it, only by what is said in the game. For example, we can know that Tsukasa is a girl in real life(that doesn't mean im a girl in real life, and because both know me in real), or if Krin goes to a trip, etc. So we can't tell if they are normal or not

[Gamemaniac]

Yo got a point there .... indeed you can't know a person just by playing online with him .... specially on MMORPG ... that's just a big oportunity for them to become a different persone .....

Well that's enough .... this is way off topic ....

So mephistopheles what character would you like to be?

[Mephistopheles]

Some sadistic killer or the righteous guardian... I don't know, I mean, to choose a character you need to know personalities.
