A question related to a fic I am (slowly) working into shape.  How is
Daley of BGC presented in the original Japanese?  Is he portrayed in the
Japanese equivalent of the gay stereotype, or is the performance more
sophisticated than that?

	Well, from what I've seen in my subbed copies of the OAVs, and
from the material presented in the BGCrisis RP game, Daley isn't so much
stereotyped as he's self-confident.. A quote from one of the source
books...

	"Daley is good-natured, easy-going, and likeable. He is also
homosexual, and does nothing to hide it. In fact, he constantly 'flirts'
with his partner (not so much because he has designs on Leon, but rather
because they both enjoy the running joke)."

	He is patient, observant, skilled at investigation, soft-spoken,
and has a wry sense of humor. When he does speak, it's the result of
careful thought.. or a humorous quip.

	Hell.. I'm so hetero it hurts.. and I'd KILL to have a friend like
that. *grin* He's a good cop, and a person you can trust when the chips
are down.

	Hope that helps.

Thanks!

	hey, happy to be of service.
