I need to post here. This is fun!

Setokai or Regular Student?: Regular. I don't think I'd care and would be too busy in my own world.

Symbolic Item?: My lock and key pendant or my headphones.

Your Rose?: My rose would be a dark red rose. No reason.

Why Duel?: I want power and love. That's why!

Your Fighting Style?: I guess I'd be part of the Kendo team.


Win/Lose?: I'd lose both times. Because of my lack of motivation.

What about those of us who are rose brides? O:

"All girls are rose brides", aren't they?

Setokai or Regular Student? Regular student at first, but then I'd somehow weasel my way into the Student Council and become one of Akio's photography buddies. It'd be sweet.

Symbolic Item?  A packet of artificial sweetener.

Your Rose? Grey.

Why Duel? Mostly just for the thrill - my ambitions in the SKU universe would probably be really similar to Touga's. I would also enjoy all of the mind-games everyone plays on everyone else... I guess that makes me a mixture of Shiori and Touga, which is... not great. At least I'm not Saionji.

Your Fighting Style? Manipulative... no particular style, moreso playing off my opponent's weaknesses than anything else.

Win/Lose? I'd lose. I'd lose badly. But I'd fight again, and probably lose again as well, upon realizing that only somebody with the innocence of Utena really has the emotional conviction and nobility to make it through to the end.

Setokai or Regular Student?: Regular stoodint. only because im not into student government things.

Symbolic Item?: Black with red accented lolita top hat. I love it to death. *huggle*

Your Rose?: Metallic Silver!!! ok...maybe a navy blue... navy blue with silver edges?

Why Duel?: To get in Touga's pants!

Your Fighting Style?: dirty fighting...i would kick Utena in the face. i don't know how to sword fight! i would just be terrible and do whatever..including the lowest thing you could do to a girl with long hair...pull it. DX

Win/Lose?: I honestly don't know...we would have to see how it unfolds of course.

Or someone goes nutz and brings a shard of broken glass or a half-smashed bottle....

I think that would be particularly painful to draw out as a 'soul' weapon.

Or an orgy instead of a bar fight! Yeah! Gangbang! Everybody jump the queen!

...okay, I'll shut up now...

Just thinking about fighting Utena in a duel... was anybody else annoyed at how she pretty much cheap-shot everyone by pulling the Dios card?

I knew she had to win, but still, it's unfair to the other duelists in a major way. I was so happy to see how Jury managed to defeat the Dios effect in both duels - she really is a supreme character.

Setokai or Regular Student?: Propably a regular student. Unless I was invited to join the Seitokai, ofcourse. Assuming that I didn't know what I know about them.

Symbolic Item?: This is a toughie. I really don't put so great signifigance to objects. Though if I had a first edition of some classic volume with a signature, I would hold to it with all my might. Alice in Wonderland, perhaps?

Your Rose?: Very deep red.

Why Duel?: For philosophical reasons; either to prove or disprove the Power of Dios and learn to understand it.  And correct a few things in the world that I think need fixing, but I wouldn't be telling this to everybody.

Your Fighting Style?: The same as in real life, though a lot better. Namely long sword fencing, in Italian School style. Modified a bit so I'd aim to the rose, instead to lobbing of the opponent's head.

Win/Lose?: No idea. As I am, I'd propably lose since my convictions aren't all that great, but after a year in Ohtori? I imagine that Akio'd find a way to fan my flames, if he saw fit. But in the background I'd dig in as much into the reasons of duelling, as the duelling itself.

Setokai or Regular Student?: I think I'd be a late addition to the seitokai, or in their good graces. It's how things usually go for me, but I think I could see myself as a black rose duelist.

Symbolic Item?: Papers. Model sheets and storyboards from my friends.

Your Rose?: A smokey violet or red-orange.

Why Duel?:  I want that power for success. I want to be accomplished and successful, but I have a ways to go. I could see myself as a black rose duelist too.

Your Fighting Style?: You know when you play Mortal Kombat at the arcade and instead of putting in the actual key combo, you just mash the buttons until you hope something works? Yeah. With one of those fancy 18th century swords too where it's more flash and pizazz than function.

Win/Lose?: Well, Utena doesn't seem to have much experience with sword fighting aside from fighting the other duelists and invoking Dios's power, so I think I have a shot.

Setokai or Regular Student?: Other. I would be a teacher on campus, the truely childlike adult who is underestimated by most.


Symbolic Item?: A notebook in which all my stories would reside. The fairy tales that are more like Sinbad the Sailor and original Brothers Grimm. The hidden adult trying to break free from an unending mental childhood. Or at least to help others break free.

Your Rose?: Grey for ambiguity.


Why Duel?: I would want to free others from a cage I myself cannot/will not step out of myself, though I know the way to freedom. It's not so much self-rightousness, more like the selflessness that made soldiers belly flop onto live grenades in WW2 so their buddies wouldn't die in a foreign "hell".


Your Fighting Style?: Not kendo, but something that seems slow but extremely evasive- like ba gua with a sword. I would fight with a bastard sword with a tartan cloth tied to it, like the doomed Scots that tryed to remain a free, independant nation.


Win/Lose?: It's a toss up. Hidden passion, ingeniouss and slow, unyeilding strength might save my but the first time, perhaps not. My black rose duelist would sort of be like Shiori-someone who both resents me for the strength I hold within and for the weakness I seem to exude, as if it were a mask. I wouldn't have a Rosebride the third time, because my attention would have gone to Anthy. I would tell the victor that if I win, I would take on the curse of the Rose Bride rather than become the victor so that both current victor and Rose Bride could move on.

I wonder if we can duel with matches? I'd figure go into the arena smoking, then throw the cigar on Utena's breast when she's close enough and watch the rose burn... The Cowboy-Bebop guy would do that!

Setokai or Regular Student?: Regular student! Like I can handle Student Council. Plus, I'm slightly afraid of heights, and I don't know how high their elevator goes.

Symbolic Item?: I'm not sure, but it's probably my can of eclipse mints. If you hear the mints clanging on the can, you know I'm coming! Plus, those are my happy pills, and it hides my evil breath -- but not for eternity! Symbolic, yo.

Your Rose?: Ah, though one. I can't say rainbow, can I? No, so it might be gray -- which is a sort of that plain-violet color you see sometimes, except much more plain, not quite like stone.

Why Duel?: For something to do, to feel important if just for a moment. I have no idea why I would want the Rose Bride, though. I'd probably just duel out of spite for Utena or someone else, like a Black Rose duelist.

Your Fighting Style?: I'm not disciplined enough for kendo or fencing. Mine would either be copyed from someone else's style, or it'd be the rough, not-so-sloppy type that little boys used to do when people still believed in dragons. Oh, knight-style! Is that it?

Win/Lose?: Oh hell, I'd lose. Not only am I immature and selfish, I can't even open my school's heavy doors! I'd be dodging for a whole ten minutes before my rose is chopped off. But I am known to get unexpectedly lucky...so I might accidently poke Utena's rose off. Or sneeze on it, or something.
