♢ POTENTIAL APP DISCUSSION


POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
How to

While the worldbuilding post is an excellent place to try and figure out City history CR, this page is more to help you to decide who you should apply for in the first place. Give us a good idea of what kind of character you're thinking of and let others comment in on how they might see it working!

Think of it as a thought experiment for yourself and other players. As a reminder, this is completely optional. You are totally free to reserve or apply someone without commenting to this post first.

♢ Reception to your idea will have no effect on how the mods process your app. This is only a tool to help you decide who to put the effort into.
♢ Don't spam or flame any potential character comments. While just going "OMG YES!!" can be encouraging, it doesn't really give anyone a whole lot to work with, and neither does shooting someone down. Be constructive.
♢ Give your honest opinion. If you think a character really wouldn't fit in the setting, express your concerns. Maybe the potential applicant didn't think of it from a certain point of view. Paired with the above, please don't just go "I don't think this will work". Provide some reasoning!
♢ Don't take anything personal. Anyone who comments back to you on this post is only trying to help — even if it isn't outright encouragement.

Just prefacing that I'm only semi-familiar with Madotsuki but hey, I can work with what I'm given. |3 Anyway.

Working around the supply depot could definitely be her Cave job if you'd like, while she could still be a geologist or something in the City! They're two separate things, so finding different things for them to do that still relate to the character could be fun. I'm sure someone would be willing to help out, re: her troublemaking ways, but I can't speak for anyone in particular.

Human icons would definitely be an issue though, yeah, though I don't think entirely necessary to start if you simply can't find time. A PB would also be acceptable!

EMILY
First of all: we are totally cool with minor characters here. Anyone with sufficient love and effort in their playing is awesome with us! The power of rock makes me giggle, because she could totally get it on with another character we have whose power is to teach people how to dance~

... um. I mean. Yes. Nothing wrong with going for a minor character!

MADOTSUKI
And here is the one I kind of sort of know. Never finished mucking about with her game, but I'm familiar with the basics and have seen a few of the levels. I like the idea of self-regulated, but "solid"-ish illusions! Her being thirteen wouldn't be so much of a problem, but if you think she would benefit more from being aged up in the game, you could certainly make a pitch for that.

As long as you can come up with a backstory you find plausible and you don't mind sticking to, her viability shouldn't be an issue. :3

Digger: The icons aren't a big hurdle, really, my style isn't far from the one used in the comic, but it is one more consideration.

Emily: Oh my god. Together they might turn the place into a musical. I am horribly okay with this. I MEAN THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMING MINOR CHARACTERS ARE OKAY. YES.

Mado: I wouldn't mind not aging up Mado, given that there doesn't seem to be many children in the City yet, so it creates some variation. shrug! I'll sit on the idea.

Thanks for the advice!
