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. <b>Your name</b>: <b>Character name</b>: <b>Fandom</b>: <b>City life</b>: What do you think would suit them? <b>Powers</b>: How can you see converting their abilities to the setting?

FELLOW FAN. [reaches out grabby arms]
god, I only know a handful of protobros on tumblr and elsewhere.

The problem with a music-based power is that it's a rock opera, so everyone sings. It'd be like apping Misto from CATS and giving him a dance-related ability. Which, yes, he does get an impressive dance solo, but... everyone dances. It's more part of the medium than anything.

I could swing with a literal light-related power... I'm a big fan of The Deed of Paksenarrion, where creating light is one of the classic signs of a paladin, so the allusion to that would make me happy. I-- oh god, I'd be turning Emily into Jubilee.

You're correct that Digger would be the easiest sell, so to speak. She has the benefit of having the canon be from her POV and so has the most defined voice out of all three. :| But yes, in terms of having her integrate with the existing characters and the plot, she comes out on top. I know that icons are ultimately not a big issue, but it really is jarring to have a cartoon wombat appear next to human PBs and anime/manga faces.

Much thanks for the input!
