@LugubriousAlpha group. Also, I will allow the pendant to go into her inventory. However, the starting abilities must be specified in the General Abilities section.

@Majoras EndI discussed in discord my questions about the CS. Cuphead is good to go as far as I am concerned.

Are our new characters showing up the same way as before (Lakitu letter, glowing portal, greeted by Qbert)?

@CyraniaEverything looks good except...while I don't have an issue with "inventing" really. The idea that he can invent anything out of anything for the convenience of a situation seems like it would be too much of a cheat code. I also want to ask if you're confident to keep coming up with multiple abilities for such a character?

Boundaries can easily be set on what he can invent. For instance, his inventions could have to be purely mechanical. He can't make a computer or any sophisticated electrical device. If there was an active sparking thing around, he could potentially attach a stick to it and make it a rudimentary shocking tool, but that would be the extent of his electrical work. The invention would also be dependent on what materials he does have on hand which then he would need to figure out how to solve the problem with it instead of the invention always being perfect for the situation. Also, he would still need time to be able to process what he has on hand, figure out what he can make, then make it.

I could also start him out with a different initial ability such as the Barrel roll, where he wraps himself around a nearby person and rolls them to safety away from immediate danger, or an intuition ability that allows him to detect that something is off or about to happen(referred to as "Layton's famous intuition"). I could make the ability to fight with improvisational weapons his starting ability if you wanted. I tried the inventing one first since it is something Layton is known for and was something to potentially help him survive against veteran fighters. The inventing could become a later, higher tier ability if you wanted.

I'm sure I can figure out new abilities for Layton as this progresses. It will be challenging at times, but Layton is one of my favorite video game protagonists. It would be worth it. Besides, one of those new abilities will be spent getting himself a sword. Also, it would be fun to see what he can do after acquiring special abilities from the other realms.

@CyraniaI had a talk with my fellow co-GMs about your character. We've had an issue with players in the past who played "Pacifist" characters not lasting long in this game. The Pacifist characters also require me to create special game mechanics for them. They can make a mission that is already categorized as hard even harder due to other characters having to risk their lives to keep them alive. While I am glad you chose a character you would be passionate about, I don't think Professor Layton is a good choice for this game because of the reasons I mentioned. Phoenix Wright is actually an inactive character. I was giving the typist a long enough time to return from his hiatus, and he has, but he has not returned to this game. Therefore, I will be removing him from the list and avoiding accepting pacifist characters like him.

@Holy Soldier
Fair enough. I'll figure what other character I'd want to play then. I'm assuming Descole is out because he was an antagonist before becoming a sort of hero in Azran Legacy? His last appearance of the series does make it open-ended what he ends up doing, though no longer with the drive for vengeance that made him a villain before. (The fact that he was willing to sacrifice his life to save the world might count for something.)

I won't push Descole though if you still consider him a villain for being a villain in most of his appearances. I'm sorry for annoying you for asking about another villain character if that's the case. I simply considered Descole more of a borderline case because of how his story ended in the Professor Layton series.

If Descole is unacceptable, I'll figure out a different character.

@Cyrania I don't know if you have any interest in the Deus Ex series, but someone mentioned that Adam Jensen would be a good character.

Thanks, though I don't think I know the series well enough to do that character justice.

I've also been considering Fredrica from Etrian Odyssey Untold, Chrom from FE:Awakening, the protagonist from Dragon Quest IX, or one of the protagonists from the Fable series.

The other options seem better than sticking to the Professor Layton series.
