I definitely find Zealstorm evil. Especially her entrance to Final Fight. She really comes off as a ruthless, but calculating, killer.

Alright, here's one. Those of you who've been reading it, what do you guys think of my Worlds of Confusion story?

Dr. Phillis is freaking awesome. From what I've seen and read of him, I only wish I could make Archlich that good. But Archlich is a bit more limited due to the cliche I brought him out of.
And speaking of cliches, what do you guys think of Lord Netharak so far?
Oh yes, Zealstorm freaky hate. >_< Toy shall enjoy squishing her under Combat Toy's boots.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
Okay this one is mostly for the Antihero 101 and the Clinic people.
What do you think of Ella?
She started with thinnly developed concept to eventually become more fleshed out and developed (Though still crazy)
Her initial appearance in AH she was pychologically...undercooked, and was a bad fit for the thread as time progressed she was further developed and altered to become a (hopefully) better fit for the thread. Though still crazy-ish, but there were other factors that have recently become apparent.
In the Clinic Ella brings all of her problems and baggage forward still. Some problems have been solved in the time gap where others problems have evolved.
I try to hint at some of things going on in her head, while not giving away the why she is the way she is. Hopefully developing some intrigue along the way.

Burning, I like Worlds of Confusion. I'm worried about the abuse Void Brawler is being put through. I'm worried about Danica's skull fracture. I'm worried about the Legacy Chain mystic's obvious crush on Danica and how it may wind up affecting Burning later on.
Then, of course, I'm also worried about how the obvious throw-down is going to turn out when Burning and Danica take on Blightlord and Deseca again.
So, all-in-all, very compelling.

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
Ella is interesting in the least. It was annoying at first her coming in with no personality whatsoever but she did grow a lot. It was those early impressions that put her into so much conflict with Kathode and Cobalt when she suddenly went from idiot to miss smartypants, which everyone else seemed to have failed to notice. Anna just didn't like seeing her being picked on by Sakura and her little firemen. Jasmine has only met her so I can't comment on her impressions yet.
Now what do you all think about Cobalt Stinger?
Unfortunately, the most that I know about Cobalt is from the character description thread. Due to reasons mentioned above we havent really interacted a great deal. The few times that Ive had direct interactions with her we have seemed to butt heads You seem to have a lot of backstory for her, but you seldom hint, elude or reveal any of it.
I am hoping that Alex and Cobalt will get along (to some degree*) both being tech heads and having a great deal of cybernetics.
I know it is a style difference where I tend to inner monologue a lot (or too much), and you dont to keep the post concise, but I feel it helps develop the character and provide incite to the character for readers. I am not saying that you should over do it (Like I tend to) but a little adds flavor, mystery and/or understanding to the readers.
Based on AH alone (Cobalt didnt stay around long in GToA). I really dont know anything about Cobalt (other than the bytchy episodes with Ella). The most insight that there was more going on with her was the description thread.
One thing confused me. Earlier in AH I think it was in the lunch room she seemed very self-conscious about the glove over her cyber prosthetic, but now she is in a bikini without much overt concern. She may have reasons for this but I havent read anything that would explain one reaction over the other.
*Being an instructor Alex will be a bit of a hardass, and will not be overly chummy with the students.
**Much of this is simply based on style difference
What are your OoC impressions of Ella (If we ignore the early stuff)
Also what differences have people noticed if they read both AH and the Clinic. I have mapped out (in my mind) the events during those pre-Clinic months and applied several changes to Ella's personallity and mannerisms some obvious some not so obvious.

I'm in agreement with billy here. Zeal's definitely a creepy little critter.
