It's easier than you might think. Except for me. I've got no signature above me, so I don't get to do any rating. Bugger.
But you know, it's not just about rating. It's about learning how others relate to the words and images with which we represent ourselves. It's about asking your questions and finding some answers. It's about sausage and whether you like yours sweet or spicy, and what that means about you as a person.

Oooh! I like your sig a lot. The fact that you contrast peace with the fluxuating judgment of love is impressive! I'm very fond of this kind of thought and it was something like this that made Xenos possible to begin with. (Sorry I included my own character in the rating, but lately my brain has been stuck in Xenos' head....) Besides, the power of protection, even if there isn't any major threat, there is always something else around the corner. >: D

How can I not love your signature, since I peer-pressured you to the max to include that quote from Alex's comic in it. IT WAS THE BEST. I still laugh just thinking about it.
As for the Ra quote, well, I don't listen to them, but I appreciate that you attributed it, instead of just stealing it like I always do. It is so character-appropriate. You get an A++++ for being IC

Hmm. Not sure how I feel about your sig. I know that a few years ago I would have been absolutely in love with it. I guess I sort of like it even now, but it provokes such a brutal image that it strikes me the wrong way, and because of that I'd have to give it a 245/350.

True as the first line is from a logical point of view, I find myself mildly troubled whenever I'm confronted with a less-than-perfect description of love. I'm aware it's naive, but I choose to keep that part of myself alive in spite of the problems it may cause. So I'll have to rate it a 1.087 out of 4.00001. The second line I like. The term "keeps" implies he has it just in case, but he doesn't carry it around unsheathed like a paranoid warrior who can't get used to peace. 9000 out of 10,999.

I find that your sig represents Kuja in a positive light, being that he can find such magnificence in something that he wants 'out of his way'. The true description of Alexander, however wasn't closely matched by his words. Though it does develop thoughts of awe and wonder when you imagine that description, without actually viewing Alexander himself.
I also felt that Kuja may have been slightly anxious or agitated by the 'brilliance' of Alexander's wings. Perhaps from stooping himself in the darkness of chaos, destruction and his need for causing such disputes caused him to be venomous towards the light?

lol... I have to say that WITHIN FFVII CANON ONLY[/b] Vincent was pretty abused. I think I commented on it before. They didn't color him as a heroic character... just someone whose life sucked harder than most. Harder than Cloud's? y/n But, within FANDOM and COMPILATION, Vincent is definitely a hero. Anti hero? No, wait... Byronic, as illustrated by Wikipedia... italics added for emphasis How these apply can definately be challenged, but you have to agree that he fills most of these. Also, he represents the classic horror movie monsters: Werewolf (Galian Beast), Frankenstein's Monster (Death Gigas), Jason (Hellmasker), demon (Chaos), vampire/Dracula (Vincent). He's named after Vincent Price, the VOICE OF HORROR MOVIES. Please listen to the end of Thriller or watch Edward Scissorhands for those of you sad, sad people who don't know who he is. hahahahaaaa... I just turned this "analyze the other person's signature" into a "WHY VINCENT IS COOL" post. At least I didn't go into theories of him being part of the Wutaian yakuza before he became a Turk... found at www.casualvillain.com/words/worm.html

Oh goodness, Aerith.
Does my say on your sig count? I don't even like (Inkubus Sukcubus, is it-- and yes they spell it wrong! )
D: I want to play VII! and VIII! AND I WANT TO WRITE. AND I WANT TO POST EVEN MORE.

I have no idea what that meant, Vincent. It didn't seem to have anything to do with Xenos' signature, either.
I have to say that your first sig, Xenos, is the most hilarious sig anyone has ever had. It is the epitome of perfection in a world of lesser hilarity. 1,000,000/10
...Too much?
The second one I would rate 8.7/10. I can't tell if it's supposed to be Ultimecia or Xenos, but either way it's very fitting.
As for yours, Vincent, I never really thought of him as unsung. Then again, Vincent always pissed me off. He can fly around, but I have to walk everywhere to get around? Bullshit, I say. He's a bastard for not flying around and getting every out-of-the-way chest in every level. Make me walk, will he? I demand a "fly" option after recruiting Vincent that makes him carry your around with no chance of fighting random battles against anything that walks. WHY AM I SLOWLY CLIMBING THIS LADDER WHEN ONE OF MY PARTY MEMBERS CAN FLY THE REST OF US UP?! Add that to his terrible final weapon, his uncontrolable limits, and his god-aweful stats. He had a good story, yeah, but as far as gameplay goes the only redeeming features Vincent has are his ranged weapons.
...Ahem, so yes, Vincent was cool and the picture is pretty. 7/10.

What? No. What I said wasn't based on what you said. I was just giving my opinion on Vincent's sig and going off on an angry tangent. XD

oh, lol, nm
BTW, I played a couple hours of Crisis Core.
They're doing it rite... mostly. What's not quite canon is ignorable and acceptable. Everything else (select sounds, Zack's squats, quirks (while like Cloud, I firmly believe that Cloud absorbed Zack's personality almost entirely when his psyche was crushed, so, therefore, were Zack's originally)) makes me JOYYYY

I've nearly beaten Crisis Core, and it makes me want to cry. <3 Zack.
Aerith still irritates me. Not you Aerith, the Aerith in CC...seems I only like her in AC, when she's dead. Weird.
What's odd to me is that Zack's outgoing, and despite being sort of a clumsy oaf, so is Cloud in CC. Which makes me want to know where the broody, pouty, I-look-out-only-for-me Cloud comes from in VII. If you play CC all the way through, Zack never stops caring about other people or being...Zack. So I wonder when Cloud gets perpetual PMS from.
Ah well. maybe when I beat it I'll find out.

Cloud Cloud Cloud... He's tough to figure out... He's at one minute caring and whatnot, and the next, he's a whiny little bitch. and then he's a badass.
"Tifa always used to be with this three-some." "I used to think... they were all stupid." "You were all childish, laughing at every little stupid thing." ..."I'm the one that was stupid." "I really wanted to play with everyone, but I was never allowed into the group." "Then later... I began to think I was different..." "That I was different from those immature kids." "That then... maybe..." "Just maybe, they would invite me in."
As a kid, Cloud was kind of a loner. Not that he was too cool to be with the other kids. No one liked him because he was the odd duck. Like the "in" crowd and the not... you know (well, maybe not you, Alex =P). Tifa and the other kids were the "populars" and Cloud was the runt... outsider... geek/nerd... everyone either knows that kid or WAS that kid.
So, there's his emo-isolationist part.
Then Tifa got hurt.
"Tifa was in a coma for seven days." "We all thought she wouldn't make it." "If only I could've saved her..." "I was so angry... Angry at myself for my weakness." "Ever since then, I felt Tifa blamed me..." "I got out of control... I'd get into fights not even caring who it was." "That was the first time I heard about Sephiroth." "If I got strong like Sephiroth, then everyone might..."
Yay, now the "Trying to prove something" Cloud...
And then we're all familiar with "OH EM GEE I LET AERITH DIE BOO HOO SEPHIROTH RUINED MY LIIIIIIIIIIFE" Cloud.
But there are parts where Cloud does stuff that's rather goofy... and totally Zack. It made me giggle hard to see Zack doing squats because he's bored, and the Shrug-Shake-Head move... and victory, but that's not the point. (PS, the boys in Midgar do the Sora-Hands-Behind-Head-While-Resting-on-One-Foot thing)
But, you know, how he is in AC isn't at all what I imagined him to be.
((I have more, but I gtg))
