Hmm...

Maki is similar to Ririi in the sense that she has Grimm powers, so there is the question of RWBYverse compatability. However, her personality conflicts with itself. How can you care for your friends, but at the same time, be selfish?

Unless she was willing to destroy her personality for the sake of her friends.

Shut up, brain, I'm trying to make a point.

The point is, it needs a little more context than that.

Tamaki, on the other hand, has a bit of a cliche with the orphan stereotype. However, that backstory isn't used that much, so I can accept it. Tamaki is made interesting by his handicap, his social awkwardness, which allows for character development. Don't get me wrong, Maki can develop with RPing as well. I just think that social awkwardness is a tougher, more interesting challenge to overcome. Deus Axe Machina is a name that is both very creative and Barbara-worthy.

Kudos to both the authors for having very simple weapons to understand, not a lightsaber that can turn into a gun that shoots more guns that doubles as a bazooka that can transform into an Apache helicopter.


 * RWBY4815 takes a deep breath.

That said, my vote is for Tamaki.
