As for Sophia

Spoiler for Sophia:

I have no problem whatsoever with her reason for hating men. My problem is what makes her STOP hating men - a guy hitting her (which is abuse right there) and saying, "you're gorgeous." Really? All my problems are solved by a man telling me I'm pretty? And then she instantly falls hopelessly in love with him? Fuck that.

Er, I think you mis-interpret that.

Spoiler for my take:

What Avan did was to slap her because he saw her using her looks to lure and later dump the Lanseal boys as unforgivable. He said that she didn't need the acknowledgements from others that she is beautiful, as he truly believed that she had beauty within herself, regardless of her looks. Soph was attracted to him simply because he's the first guy who said that she's beautiful without caring two hoots about her looks.

And yeah, Avan irks a lot of players. I think as fanfic writers, we owe it to the players to... adjust his character for the better. Maybe make him a bit less of a hot-blooded moron and maybe portray him as more reckless (instead of plain stupid).

I played the "undub" version. Yoshino Hiroyuki was good as Avan, that is all. As for his stupidity, well...

Spoiler for involvement in VC3:

If he had the stupidity to join your attack against a huge Batomy-like tank, complete with a hero fencer and armoured infantry wielding chain guns, he is really, REALLY not a bright bulb.
