@glwgameplayerYeah I had a 'friend' like that once too. It's an unpleasant memory but at least we're in better company now.
@Majoras End Hello there! I'm happy to hear you have an interest in the forum. Zacharie from OFF might be doable as a character, but we already have a mercantile character in the form of the RE4 Merchant. Though he's a weapons merchant and Zacharie is more a general purpose merchant if I remember correctly.
Chara, from Undertale I'm assuming, could work.
It's funny you brought up Undertale since I had a discussion with someone regarding it not too long ago. I like the idea of adding Undertale, but I'm conflicted. The characters are interesting, there are some items, and a few interesting locations. However there are a few issues.
Tonally the game is largely about the merits of mercy and taking even a single life is treated with a lot of weight in game. Lots of characters currently, Quiet, Max Payne, even John Marston who is a good man, have killed probably truckloads worth of people on their own adventures. So the roleplay as a whole, which is rather combative, would be something jarring when compared to Undertale's tone.
Then again I already added Animal Crossing so maybe I'm overthinking things. The 'monsters' in the game are also somewhat underpowered compared to our current line up, especially considering that a very stubborn child can casually commit genocide on their entire civilization with save scum powers.
That's not to say it can't work or that I don't want to have it. If anything I think it'd be kind of neat, having these otherwise very peaceful monsters dropped into a mess of a world with humans
(Splicers, Zealot Columbians, Raiders, The Legion, Mercenaries, est) who are more monstrous then the 'monsters' ever could be.
Though if overpowered characters can be balanced in this roleplay there's nothing stopping underpowered characters from getting a little push.
Also having Chara around would be...interesting. If you're going with what I believe you're going with, then having a murderous, ultra violent, psychotically determined child in a dorky looking sweater would certainly spice things up. Though if you intend to play Chara like I assume you're going to I ask that you still cooperate and work with the group a bit.
After all nothing interesting comes from applying for a largely malevolent character and immediately trying to kill off people and fuck things up. If they have bad intentions build up to it gradually so there's some intrigue and character interaction before shit hits the fan.
The BATTER for example has been played very well by
@Eventua. He/it works with the group, but still maintains their original rather dangerous intent. So far it seems hinted the Batter could one day turn on the group, but that just might be me reading into it too much. Regardless it's done rather well and is a good example of how to handle things.
@agentnumalol They do contract each other pretty strongly. I don't know Mishima's character well enough to say for certain but I think he and Marston would be good antithesis's to each other. So yeah just throw me a message if you're serious about making him and I'll be all ears.
When you put competitive play like that it seems much more understandable. I guess it's just some competitive players take things too seriously or just have a foul attitude about things with characters like that.
And yes. Being bad is the first step to eventually being good if you work hard and continue to do it.
