@ERode: If I didn't feel like I wrote male characters pretty badly that might be an option. ^^;

But I'm also little worried about having a ton of princely types I guess? I'm trying to figure out something that plays well off the rest of the cast we have so far at least.

I think it'd be funny if, after he spends enough time around both of them, Kai becomes one of the few who can regularly tell them apart because he does it solely by scent, and then is always confused when other people can't. XD


Oooh, good point, I didn't think of that at all. Nice.

Which reminds me of a related note, Liese is two years older and on the taller side of things (for a girl her age in medieval/renaissance era standards), while Julian is younger and on the shorter side of things, so height is a visually reliable discerning trait.

Isn't the whole otome genre just different flavors of princely types? All bishounen, all well dressed, all with terrifyingly long hands, and so forth? I don't think you'd bother anyone by being a similar archetype so long as the personalities and behaviors were noticeably different. A sad broody prince vs a brash loudmouth military kid, or a scholarly push-up-glasses type, etc etc, you know?

Make another blonde blue-eyed bifauxnen so we'll have triplets.

So far we have a clown, an animal mascot, a ghost, The Hero™, and The Plot™
We have a space for someone smart, and a push-up-glasses tsundere is one I haven't heard before

@IzurichAh, yeah, this is also true. Julian is very smol. Prolly like 5 foot 2 or something. Still has a little room to grow but she's probably gonna stay a bratty half pint compared to everybody else, particularly Liese.

Also, in another amusing inversion... Liese is a girl's name, but identifies as male. Julian is still very much a girl, but goes by a boy's name and... honestly might keep doing it even once her true identity is uncovered? Like, I feel like she'd just be used to being called Julian at that point. Might change it to Julie or Julia or Juliet or something, I guess, but I dunno.

I know I've been a bit quiet, working things out in the background. Honestly, think my character design I've sort of settled into is a good rival/foil for a few of the designs posted so far. Military prodigy, sort of "sport friend" type. A good rival to Liese, probably someone designed to sort of keep up with them in terms of skill and ambition, but Wants to drag everyone up to their potential not through inspiring leadership but tactical suggestions.

Basically, that one friend who is talented not because he's super magical, but because he can just think his way through a fight. Read moves, anticipate, find a counter. So nerdy in a fight? Still working out the kinks.

Also, I will add to this that last I heard, we are also getting a smug "don't think this means you won!"/"I didn't go out of my way to help you, I just wanted to be the one to beat you myself!" sort of rival character I think, which does have a tad bit of overlap with Tsundere tropes? But not really the whole *adjusts glasses* know-it-all archetype or anything.

EDIT: Ah, my mistake, looks like Webb has kinda changed things up since last I heard, so yeah, take his word for it, not mine.

I'd say keep Julian, for the reason you've mentioned. :P Liese ICly keeps his name because he feels it's not a big enough deal to bother, certainly nowhere as much as his female body.

Ooooh! I like what I read so far~ Yes, yes, the blue oni to his red oni kind of dynamic.

Just poke me if there's anything I can help with that, if not, great! Looking forward to their interactions, with each other and all of the PCs.

@Scribe of ThothWe might be, a little bit? There are several people from the interest check still unaccounted for, and just with the sheets we do have, we're reaching close to where I expected to call it full. Still, if you want to make a character sheet, I'll happily look it over! I just don't like disappointing people if there doesn't end up being enough space, so I figure I should warn you at least.

@webboysurf I really like that character idea! I had a similar idea for a skilled, non-magical knight but I was planning to take it in the opposite direction of someone very skilled and driven but not as good at playing nice with the other kids. A real "There's no I in team but there's one in winner" type who learns that he cannot, in fact, do literally everything himself and needs to put his trust in others and embrace the power of friendship to succeed

So like, whereas Kai might be the kind of "naturally talented" athlete who can do an unassisted no hands backflip without even warming up, your guy would be the one who can watch a technique be executed, and figure out like, the body mechanics, or how it ties into a combination of techniques, or how to counter it?

And if someone were to ask either of them, "How do I do this move?" your guy would be able to say "Lower your hips, and pivot on your lead foot," and work them through it, whereas Kai would just gesticulate wildly with his hands and tell them "First it's like, shaa! And then you do it like, BAM! And if you did it right, it'll be like Ka-tiiing!" and then smiles while they look at him in abject defeat.

And then Kai pulls his calves and spends the next few weeks being lectured on the importance of warming up your body even when you are a musclebrained prodigy.

Lots of people expressing interest, one of them can take my "spot" (if I had one to begin with!). I'll keep an eye on this RP though, if there ever is need for another wave of characters let me know.

Will just drop a small warning here, but I've come down with a pretty nasty... something, over the past day. Might be flu, might be COVID. So while I'm probably gonna have lots of free time to look over people's sheets, I'll also likely not be too super active because I just feel kinda bleh right now. Doesn't seem too serious, and I'm keeping an eye on it, so don't worry just yet -- just figured I'd let y'all know what's going on.
