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?

Your name: Maggie
Character name: Shurelia (the girl in my icon, even!)
Fandom: Ar Tonelico

City life: See, there could be two possibilities here: She could be a school teacher of some sort, preferably for middle- or high-school ages? Or she could be law enforcement in some way/shape/form. /taps chin...

Powers: .... help? ): I know nobody knows canon ~~except obsessive people like me~~ so it might be hard, but... well, in canon, she has Song Magic. She sings, and then ~things happen~. A lot of her songs have robot-ish themes to them. Or bunnies. ... That probably makes no sense. I can maybe provide videos/screens by way of explanation? ;;

Do you think they'll be active? Yes. She's no busybody, but she's got a very kind-and-caring-mother-figure thing going on that she'd probably extend to like.... everyone ever. ♥

Do you think they'll participate in plot? More than likely.

Why this character interests you here: I've always wanted to play Shurelia. I just... feel like this will be a cool place to try it.

Potential concerns: Lone Canon Warrior. I know this will happen. It sucks, but hopefully I can move past it. :/ Also, I'm still wrapping my head around the concept of this game, period, so. Also also, no clue about canon point.

Re: powers, I was thinking about this, Maggie... what if she had a kind of conjuration? You would have to decide what sorts of things she could conjure, but it might be the closest equivalent to Song Magic.

... she could conjure bunnies. or robots. /SHOT

Actually no that's a good way to think on it! Maybe I'll look through her spells again and see if I can spot any other possibilities... ♥
