Here we go!
Plop has the 4 jokes, giving him comic relief.
Point given.
He's also the youngest of us. In fact, he's the only one of the five of us to NOT be allowed to drink in Canada, thus giving him the "unconventionally young" part as well.
Another point given. Though i don't really see that as a requirement to be a smart guy, rather a common comparison. The same with the comic relief but on a much lesser note.
As for the smart part? Well...none of us are
I oppose on the fact that me and ken are on this team. Thus eradicating the "none of us are" part and since i was the lancer i just put the only other person i can compare to being wise as the smart guy.
Jokes aside, he makes the most clever and/or elaborate jokes, imo. Is that good enough to pass as the "smart" one among us? I think so.
. . . i would concur on that part as long as it would be headed towards that diraction. And given that your previous points on how plop fits the personality of a smart guy more makes your statement more valid.
Ken tends to have a more serious behavior compared to the rest of us (serious enough to be my Lancer if you weren't around, actually
) and, last time I checked, actively tries his best to keep things as peaceful as possible around here
Not serious enough and is often times goofing with the rest of you. So no i wouldn't call him your opposite, far from it.
Though i do concur that he is watchful on keeping peace on the boards, just does an inactive or if he does try not very effective job. But for the fact he tries is encouragement enough.
Plop, as I said earlier, is somewhat of a comic relief more than a peacekeeper, not to mention that he joins our shenanigans more often than Ken. As such, making him the Chick just... doesn't make sense.
Your overspecializing the peace keeper, the chick/heart purpose is to keep the team together. In other words they are some what a mascot or a enthusiast. Someone to keep moral high and focus on getting the team together. Plop seems to do a good job of having people gather around him because of his comic relief, something about the comical relief of messing with him just brings them around. Thats why i thought he'll make a good heart not on personality but on effectiveness.
Though i do coincide on that ken is practically one of the only watchmen of civil disputes who, if he himself isn't being timid, actually tries to resolve such or gain back focus. I still disagree mostly that plop doesn't fit to be a smart guy just because. . . he isn't. But you make a point that plop fits less as the heart compared to ken. Making that they should switch.
As the the final sentences concerning the "female" thing, it doesn't matter since we have Katt.
I just completely ignored that part since our only female doesn't even fit it and it isn't a necessary when you extend it to heart
