Okay, I know he's no Koyasu, but Crispin Freeman has a pretty, pretty
voice.

And that pretty pretty voice came out of a pretty pretty shaman
purring his appreciation for my passion and sharp wit I met when
playing "Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer." This is an
expansion pack for a PC game I have.... in the game, you wake up in a
sort of a mystical fantasy world inspired by Russia (called Rashemen),
where someone has torn out a piece of your soul.... the pretty, pretty
Shaman (named Gannayev-of-Dreams) is one of your potential party
members who can help you deal with the spirits who don't like your
fractured soullishness.

He's a lovely boy with long silvery hair and a silky voice, and he
likes it when you're (playfully) mean to him. He is apparently be
"bane" of Farmers' Daughters everywhere, and even the local witches
can't help but give him a second look.

Of course, as soon as the purely innocent and noble half-celestial who
quests on behalf of the Suffering God showed up, he started flirting
with her instead of me.

It's a good thing Mr. Freeman hasn't been typecast. ~_^

Wait a minute... I'm playing a person with a hole in her chest, who
should be dead but isn't (and previously, in the first installment of
the game, was able to summon a ancient and powerful sword due to the
talisman embedded within my chest... a sword which everyone wanted and
was fighting over).... (okay, and I'm playing a woman with
extraplanar heritage who's literally a "backstabber," but that's my
choice)

I've got the flirtatious pretty boy who is ambiguous about his past
and ambitions, but attracted to power... but *could* be good....

and am now traveling with the sweetly innocent crusader girl from the
"Heavens Above" (literally) torn between the Prince of the Dead and
the Suffering God....

Huh.

My other companion I'm not sure how she fits in though. Woman (bald
and tattooed!) belonging to a group called the "Red Wizards" but she
is not as typically ambitious or cruel as the others (or so she
appears). Had power due to her mother being head of the Wizard
Academy, but she's recently been displaced. I think if I were playing
a male she'd be a love interest. Doesn't quite fit anything.... which
is probably good, or I'd be a little more creeped out. ^^

Anyway, was amused and wanted to share.

NO one is Koyasu - I keep hoping I'll find him wandering the streets
of Seattle, he's divorced and just looking for the love of his life -
an older, out of shape woman who likes Weiss! ^__^

I'm in loooove . . . Must go google and see if there are images out
there . . . Why, oh why can't real silvery-haired bad boys exist?

But he was polite and flirted with you too! ^_^

Heh. Maybe you need to look closer to Tokyo. ~_^

It's a new game, so it may be hard to find (though you'll have better
luck looking for Mask of the Betrayer screencaps). Here's his
character portrait:

Don't like how they did his mouth, but otherwise a nice looking boy,
IMO.

If I can get a good screencap I'll send it to ya. Should've taken one
when I first met him, all bound up in magical chains...

So true. There was a moment where it seemed he couldn't choose between
the two. ~_^ (She's a pretty priestess with angel wings, and my player
character is a quick-talking rogue with demonic heritage... he can
tease her a lot more easily, but I know how to banter. He has the good-
girl/bad-girl dilemma before him)

Indeed. Had to remove Gann temporarily because I added a giant rainbow
colored bear spirit to the group. You know, like you do.

I think I might type in a cheat so I can have all of them (plus I miss
out on a possible romance plot if I don't take him with me, though I
don't know if my PC is the romancing type).

Touga: You want to 'have all of them'? And you criticize my habits?
DQ: Shut up.
Touga: Including the bear?
DQ: SHUT. UP.

One of the key writers of that game is good for creating unusual
parties.... the best RPG I ever played was one written by him, called
"Planescape: Torment." Your companions included people like a reformed
Succubus (she ran a brothel for "Slaking Intellectual Lusts", where
you could pay to have polite, educated conversation with the scantily
clad women), and a ghost inhabiting a suit of armor who was so
dedicated to the cause of forwarding "justice" he hadn't noticed he
died. No bishounen in that one though. A talking skull and a wizard
melded with the elemental plane of fire, but no bishounen. The
character you play is in fact the "anti-bishounen." Broody as all hell
(and even flirtatious if you want him to be), but humongous and
covered head to toe in scars.

DeathQuaker!
Slaking intellectual lusts since 1976
