Nakago, the infamous villian of Fushigi Yuugi. Originally, when I logged onto Endless Dream, I knew absolutely nothing about the anime series. I went there for the FF8 and FF7 areas, playing Irvine Kinneas and Vincent Valentine. Well, of course I still had to interact with people from this anime series, and eventually someone from the wiz staff was kind enough to send me the entire series on disc so I could finally familiarize myself with it.
When I began watching it, I wasn't sure what to think. The characters sort of bugged me, Miaka especially (though later she did redeem herself in my eyes). It wasn't until I got a few episodes into it that I found a reason to keep watching incessantly... Nakago. Tall, beautiful, psychologically dark and utterly corrupt, the Shogun of Kutou was far more -real- to me than nearly anyone else in the series. I was hooked.
We had a Nakago on Endless Dream at one point, but the character had since been released for people to apply for. So, as I watched the rest of the series, I began crafting my own little version of the man who almost schemed his way into Godhood. I must really have been inspired, because it was the longest and most intimate sort of application I've ever written for a character before.
But, I confess, I'm fascinated by the dark side of humanity, and Nakago embodied it in full.
