Sigma - seems like his personality will change based on the player's decisions but I see him staying as Junpei and never "snapping" but definitely can decide the fates of characters through the betrayal system

Phi - interesting personality. Don't see her as an Ace villain. I don't think she has any part in the creation either but I could be wrong in that idea.

Quark - easy to trust. Definitely some-sort of villain. Not the Ace kind but definitely the Clover kind. Could be behind some part of the game like June. I don't trust him though.

Dio - I don't like him but he'll probably be good...or bad. He is hard to judge. I'll say good for now.

Tenmyouji - based on his back-story, I trust him. He will be like Lotus and seem untrustworthy throughout but in the end, he will be someone you trust.

Alice - I trust her since we know something about her. Could be behind it though her and Clover will be too obvious in my opinion doesn't mean it won't happen. Did seem to try and stab someone though.

Clover - see Alice but a lower percentage to go loco again. Seems too easy to do it twice.

Luna - Ace villain if there is one. Zero trust in her unless she can prove otherwise. No way she isn't a villain in someway. Don't think she is June though.

K - we know him. Not sure who but someone from the first game. I say him though because it can't be Alice or Clover. Too large to be June and Lotus's...err...assets could not fit within the the suit. So I conclude that K is male based on those assumptions. Seven seems too likely. Could fit Ace and function as a way for him to recognize faces or Snake as a way to see. I doubt Snake though. Ace could be seeking redemption or remember and kill everyone again. Unless there is a lot of padding, I doubt its Santa or Junpei although I can dream.

Dead Women - probably killed by Luna

Zero III - not as chillingly awesome as June's Zero but he is bats*** crazy Now that the full promo has been released, I would like to get everyone's opinions on each character. I'll start (obvious spoilers from both the promo and the first game):Sigma - seems like his personality will change based on the player's decisions but I see him staying as Junpei and never "snapping" but definitely can decide the fates of characters through the betrayal systemPhi - interesting personality.

Phi-Mysterious. She makes me think of Rei from Evangelion, for some reason. And she looks like Santa.

Quark-Well, the trailer shows him with a knife, and he seems to be absent from an image where nearly everyone else is dead, so... I wonder if the point of the game is either to cure him of his illness or to punish/test someone who maybe caused a child to get sick and die?

Dio-I think he will at least try to betray the others, and the trailer kind of backs that up. I do think he's a good guy at heart though, but maybe a bit more selfish than Lotus.

Tenmyouji-He may not be the bad guy of this game, but how innocent is he, really?

Alice-Why exactly do you trust her? The writer hinted that her appearance at the end of 999 was likely related to Akane's plans. And sure enough, Clover's been dragged into the Nonary Game again. I don't think she's a bad person, but she's suspicious.

Clover-I don't know, but I think there is a pretty good chance of her snapping again. This is her THIRD Nonary game. How can this poor girl ever feel safe, when this keeps happening? And she is without Snake this time. Also, due to her closeness with Alice, should Alice die...

Luna-The trailer also hints at her turning on the others, but does that mean she is a true enemy? She certainly looks a lot like Akane, but isn't that too obvious? Maybe she's just a pawn who doesn't even know she's a pawn. Like, a clone or something?

K-I want this to be Snake. Him being paired with Clover would make sense then. If not him, then maybe Junpei. His situation is similar to Seven's, but his personality seems pretty different. And I doubt they would pull that with Seven again.

Dead Women-Isn't that a man? He seems important.

Zero III-Ha ha. He amuses me. His voice is hilarious, and he's so hyper.XD http://ruleoftherose.proboards104.com/index.cgi-The best and largest Rule of Rose forum out there!^^ Sigma-No real thoughts. Seems like an okay, normal guy.Phi-Mysterious. She makes me think of Rei from Evangelion, for some reason.

User Info: grifcannon75 grifcannon75 (Topic Creator) 8 years ago #3 Yeah I don't trust Alice really but I trust her more than the people I don't know meaning I don't think she'll Ace me.

Quark and K were absent for that death scene in the promo. Yeah they are both very important to the game in my opinion. Like keys even.

Tenmyouji definitely has some skeletons in his closet but cares for Quark enough that I think he is searching for redemption.

I must've missed the hints of Luna turning but I think she is too much of a Mary Sue to not be evil.

I myself doubt that the character designs being similar is important but would be pleased if it did have something to do with the overall story.

I thought the dead person was an old women but with the anime art style, I could be wrong. She is important to either the identity of the new Ace. Or she could be related to the game itself. Either way, she is going to be key.

User Info: grifcannon75 grifcannon75 (Topic Creator) 8 years ago #5 Yep. My bad.

User Info: SyberiaWinx SyberiaWinx 8 years ago #6 http://ruleoftherose.proboards104.com/index.cgi-The best and largest Rule of Rose forum out there!^^ Well, I'm thinking K would be pretty hard to overpower, especially if Quark were the killer. And then there's the fact that he's in some kind of robotic suit or is a robot, so a knife is unlikely to do any good against him.

Sigma - McProtagonist...I expect not a lot from this guy...half of him to be the vehicle of the player's actions and probably some light backstory, similar to Junpei. Unless the devs are going to pull a fast one on the players in light of their whole "Sigma is as ordinary as can be" thing.



Phi - Highly dangerous, I've posted this elsewhere but I think she has a vested interest in the game's turnout. It's mostly a baseless sort of feeling though. I think Phi's personality is such that she can make the hard or ruthless decisions necessary to advance herself, and would appear to have the strategic or intellectual aptitude to optimize her decision-making. Whether or not she's outright villainous is a whole other ballgame, but I struggle to say that she is right now, in spite of myself.



Dio - As has been posted, I expect that he has the willingness to betray other people, and again as has been posted I think he's got a sensitive side (the cat thing), perhaps he's protecting himself. Let his deviousness not be understated though, I do think he's a cunning guy. I think it's going to be important to appeal to the guy's pathos or get to know him, in due time one could get him on your side, but if not he will step on you...a little lower than Phi on danger scale. I doubt he has grander plot relevance, that's the only thing, like connection to the setup of the game.



Quark - ...well, he's got the stones to wield a knife, and apparently threaten someone with it! I'm wary of taking that out of context though...it's promotional advertising stuff. He's supposed to be precocious and knowledgeable, and the virus thing probably motivates him to be highly forthright. I think he's connected to the plot, but not sure how. I expect to see him and Luna exchange some words, as predictable as it might be, let's see how much Luna knows about doctor-y stuff and Quark's illness (or let's see how good of a talker she is.) In the wrong circumstances Quark will kill you, but take care of him and make him feel protected and it should be fine?



Alice - For some odd reason I trust Alice, in spite of what has been said making sense (Alice's appearance being tied to a grander scheme of Akane's.) I would work to get her on my side, I expect that of all the people who know something of the grander scheme of the game (and she's one of them definitely IMO), she's the least likely to kill me. She apparently has possible ethical motivations (avenge father's death) and that might make her easier to trust. Santa was like that, and though aggressive, and a bit shady, I never thought he'd kill me. Then again, people can have ethical pretensions and turn out bat****, so all I know is that it makes it easier to know where she's coming from. Proud recipient of the 2nd Gary Player Award!

Tenmyouji - He's not villainous, I think he's....in need of redemption, or perhaps the proper word is resolution. I am interested to see how he's connected to the game's construction, and more importantly, I am interested in how aware he is of his own connection to the game. The degree of his awareness I think is positively related to his "danger factor" IMO. His previous team's murder will factor in to his behaviors, and early on he will be hard to work with and easy to predict (stubborn, not compliant, belittling maybe), but I think one can soften him up given time and the right approach.



Clover - Clover scares me, she has death-level savvy apparently and without her brother to temper her I am more scared. I don't think she's a bad person, I could sympathize with her if I were in the game, but I think she is a loose cannon. I....don't know how to appeal to her, I think if I tried to sympathize with her or open up to her she might just think I'm full of it, I think she will not trust anyone in the game easily, if at all. Well, clearly she will trust Alice and if I befriend Alice...well buy one get one free I guess. Again it may seem that her stability is tied to the well-being of another. I think she will kill again if driven to it. But she's not bad.



K - Someone else called it in this topic, and others have theorized in other topics, I'll have to agree. I think K is someone from 999, and he's either Snake (was guessed) or Ace. Perhaps it is Ace, and that Transformers suit helps him see or whatever, and he's a changed man (not that I'm super optimistic or naive about him changing, just theorizing, he was definitely a scumbag.) The apparent disposition of K might match Snake's, and perhaps the suit (with whatever believable or not-believable morphogenetic resonance to help make it work) helps him see. He is trustworthy, not villainous...but whoever he is, not a pushover.



Luna - Gonna have to agree with the prevailing sentiment, I would get the hell out of dodge of I could help it. I don't trust her at all. And to be honest I really don't know why. In real life I'd rack my "phoni-ness detector" until I couldn't think straight. What is there to know about her? Can one really be as straightforward or "simply pacifistic and idealistic" as she appears? If she is as ruthless as I think, my propensity to overcomplicate might do me in. If she is as nice and idealistic as she appears, then I would have much respect for that, after pondering how one can be idealistic in this game and considering the world at large.



Zero 3: Stupid thing, I would treat it with contempt. Apparently I won't get penalized for it right? And I can't actually directly interact with it? It's a computer program I recall, it's not sentient is it? I hate being patronized, and it would be even worse in such a disadvantaged situation as this twisted game.

User Info: grifcannon75 grifcannon75 (Topic Creator) 8 years ago #9 I've had time to think things over and am gonna update my status for each character:



Sigma - just a template for the player, even more than Junpei since his past right now seems typical (no connections to anyone there)

Phi - hard to trust her; still I think the worse she'll be is being behind the game but she does seem like she is trying to get you to mistrust the others

Quark - still think he'll be the one to pull a Clover; he does seem like he wants everyone to cooperate but someone dying could push him over the edge; his disease could be one part of the reasoning behind the game.

Dio - he looks like a wannabe Snake but will be more like Lotus with initial mistrust but a good guy at heart; I think he'll be protective of Quark not to the level of Tenmyouji though

Tenmyouji - at least we all agree that we trust this guy; I think he did something that indirectly lead to the death of his team that he seeks redemption for

Alice - since I believe she was part of the original nonary game as the 12th player, she probably has an idea what's going on but I doubt she is an Ace villain

Clover - her and Alice are known in some fashion by the player so I doubt she is an Ace villain; unless she is a part of it, could pull a Clover again. I mean three times can't be good for anyone's psych

Luna - well everyone's on the same page for her, zero trust; unless she is the biggest red herring ever, she is going to kill everyone at one point

K - it would just be a wasted opportunity if he isn't a character from the first game; Ace and Snake are the most likely since they could have a reason to wear the suit, could also be Junpei or Seven or someone else entirely but I doubt Seven; trust him though but could easily be bad since that's the opposite of Seven
