Airi is weird. On the one hand, I don't think it makes sense that she gets all the abilities she has when she mimics things or disguises herself. On the other, to go and through and pick out the ones that don't make sense and change them is such a huge task I think it's more realistic to just leave it at "not the addictions." Mostly just because if she doesn't have the specializations, it's easy to see it's airi even when disguised, and whoever she's disguised as ends up as kinda underpowered after the 2nd specialization.

I hope you don't mind my commenting on your new liners. You're playing with the images of the characters I have in my head and I have opinions! :0

In general, the 'subject shouts in triumph' thing seems weird. I don't know exactly how you plan to add them into the post-screen, but it seems they'd mostly read less oddly as {self}:{message}
Cassie
Eve
Jewel
Kat + Mara
Maya
Reyka
Cassie
return "{self:SUBJECT} shouts in triumph, <i>\"Hooray! I did it! I won!\"</i>";
-Not terribly invested in Cassie, but I will say I don't think I've ever heard "hooray" said without irony in my entire life. The line sounds better in my head without it, or something like Yes!
"{self:SUBJECT} mutters, <i>\"Oh no...I didn't win at all...\"</i>";
-seems fine

"{self:SUBJECT} mutters, <i>\"Oh no...I didn't win at all...\"</i>";

Eve
return "Eve shouts in victory, <i>\"Hah! See? Your asses are all MINE!\"</i>";
-Ok. First off, LOL. Actual lol. That sounds like Eve.
Major point in my head though: Eve doesn't much care about winning. Eve doesn't particularly care about putting someone else down except insomuch as she can get herself or others off on it. She isn't particular -proud- that she won the most...she just finds it hilarious. I feel like the line should be 'Your asses are ALL mine!' Emphasis on the ridiculous amount of ass that she got 'Your asses are ALL mine!' versus emphasis that SHE got all the ass 'Your asses are all MINE!' Still. That could just be me looking into that statement way too much.
*giggles some more at the line*
return "Eve says, <i>\"Tsk...Fucking hell...\"</i>";
-I don't feel like Eve would care that much that she didn't win any matches. She'd still be high off the exhilaration of the fights and only bemoaning that she didn't get to pound more ass a little. Maybe. Something more like "Aw! No ass today I guess. Y'all better watch those cute little rears next time!'

Jewel

return "{self:SUBJECT} mutters, <i>\"Son of a bitch...\"</i>";
-I really haven't paid attention to Jewel. Like, at all. All I can say is that the first line seems clunky, but that could just be the way Jewel talks for all I know. >_>

Kat + Mara

return "{self:SUBJECT} mutters, <i>\"Nyaaaaa...I lost? :3\"</i>";
return "{self:SUBJECT} shouts in triumph, <i>\"Ha-haaa! Science wins AGAIN!!\"</i>";
return "{self:SUBJECT} mutters, <i>\"Crap...Need to make adjustments...\"</i>";
-these all seem like reasonable interpretations of Kat and Mara that don't challenge how I view them or seem oddly worded

Maya
return "Maya shouts in triumph, <i>\"That was GREAT! I can do this ALL NIGHT!\"</i>";
-This seems too exuberant for someone as reserved as Maya act. She'd be pleased, not surprised, possibly sort of languid and relaxed with w/e it is she's there to collect. Something more like 'Hmm...that was nice. I'll have to be sure to do this again.' Or, since she's also aware that she probably just soundly destroyed everyone's scores, she'd say something motivational or comment on it being educational or something.
return "Maya mutters, <i>\"Damn...\"</i>";
-Don't like this one. It seems implied that Maya is coming here because she NEEDS to win for sone reason or another...yet never seems distressed or angry or anything if she loses. On the contrary, she only ever seems impressed. Given how soundly she defeats 3-ways, I kinda assume she's under something like the same rules as Reyka, only looser. Headcanon: Maya is vastly more powerful than any character in the games barring maybe Reyka, but has her power restricted in one-on-one fights. However, she needs to get something from her wins, so the restriction is looser than Reyka's who can just get w/e sustenance she needs outside the games. If she actually lost every match, I have the feeling she'd be pleased and moderately impressed, smiling out something like "Such promising fighters..."...and then show up at the beginning of tomorrow's fight with double her normal level modifier. xD

Reyka
return "{self:SUBJECT} shouts in triumph, <i>\"Hah! Too easy! I had fun though, didn't you all?\"</i>";
-I don't think Reyka would be that proud of or excited about winning. It's implied in most of her training that she's already more powerful than the other characters and only at about their level due to restrictions. 'Too easy' seems...I dunno. Too self-evident? Too mocking while not enough seduction? Dunno, but that bit in the middle just seems out of character to me.
return "{self:SUBJECT} mutters, <i>\"Oh well, maybe next time. I'll need to become more powerful, I think...\"</i>";
-Reyka's already more powerful, so hearing her talk about needing more seems odd. Them winning and getting stronger effectively makes her stronger too, weirdly.
