OKAY SO RIN IS A DEFINITE, but I have one character slot left and I've been kicking around ideas for how to fill it. These are the two characters I've mostly narrowed it down to, and though I probably won't be able to app either of them for a couple of months yet, I figured I'd throw out my preliminary ideas to get a better feel for how they'll fit into the cast. They both fall into antagonistic roles, but in very different ways.
PLAYER: Nix CHARACTER: Mash Kyrielight CANON: Fate/Grand Order
AU NAME: Dare I do it... Dare I use the forbidden romanization... Matthew Kyrielight AU AGE: 16
BLURB: Another one of the Douman Zaibatsu's weaponized Meta-human experiments, Matthew is a designer baby whose genes were spliced together to create an optimum specimen. Of course, Meta-human genetics are still something of a black box, and even less was understood at the time of her creation, so her genome is a bit of a mess! In fact, Matthew is the only one of her "siblings" to survive the manifestation of their Meta-human abilities, and even her lifespan is projected to be drastically shorter than the average human's. To compensate for this, the Zaibatsu has had her body heavily fitted with cybernetics, but even after being hooked up with the experimental Ortenaus system, it's estimated that she'll only survive for another two years or so.
Aside from being a living weapon, however, Matthew is just a timid girl insecure of her own humanity. I'm considering having her start still in the """care""" of the Zaibatsu, thereby putting her in something of a villainous role... Mash Kyriedark, you might say. Though she wouldn't be able to leave the facility she is currently confined to until the plot opens up an opportunity for her to take the field, she might just reach out to other people over the network, hiding her identity from both the NSO and the Zaibatsu with the pseudonym Mash.
LOOKING FOR: I am not looking to replicate her relationship with FGO's protagonist in this game.
That's basically my only stipulation, otherwise please hit me with whatever. Obviously, her in-game circumstances limit things, but I would love for her to have penpals she sneakily writes to over the network. She's lonely and will take an interest in pretty much anything if it'll give her some connection to another human being! Or, if anyone is thinking of playing a character aligned with the Douman Zaibatsu, I would love for them to be aware of her — maybe even for someone to be her handler?! And of course other experiments who will sympathize with her, even if she is currently still on the "wrong side"...
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I have like a billion other characters I'd like to play here and narrowing it down was already painful enough, thank you. So far as castmates go, though, I would love to see Dr. Roman, Olga-Marie, or maybe even Ophelia?! I can definitely rework some of her given background accommodate the addition of Chaldea!
CHARACTER: Lucius (the Eternal) CANON: Warhammer 40k
AU NAME: Lucius Nasicae, probably AU AGE: 24 maybe??
BLURB: Lucius is a child of one of the many winding, interlinking branch families that makes up leadership of the privately-owned weapons R&D company Chemos. Despite the extreme and almost obsessive pressure placed on the members of these families to be "perfect," there's no caged bird story here; Lucius was born into great wealth and privilege, and he's loved every second of it. His personality reflects that: entitled, immature, impulsive, and thrill-seeking.
All that would probably be fine, if his favorite thrill to seek wasn't murder. Given a prototype energy blade by his father as a sweet 16 present, he quickly became bored of standard sword training and non-lethal duels. For years now, he has been stalking "Last" Ward at night (that's where all the scariest Meta-humans live, right?), looking for "worthy opponents" to cut down. He has no interest in killing the weak — only those that can put up a fight give him the adrenaline high he craves.
Lucius is also, secretly, a Meta-human himself! With his biokinetic power, as he hunts by night, he warps his appearance to that of a monstrous and scarred version of himself as a disguise. Under the ominous pseudonym of Soulthief, he claims that every scar on his body represents a life he has taken. (Or, perhaps, the scars are real, and the pretty face he wears by day is the true disguise? Who can say.)
LOOKING FOR:
NSO vigilantes! He certainly has had a run-in with at least one before, and considers the vigilantes of Last Ward to be the holy grail of his murder quest. Despite ostensibly wanting a challenge, he hates losing, and even being fought to a draw by one will make him almost obsessive in his desire for a rematch.
... ... ... Friends? I realize this is vanishingly unlikely, given that he probably only hangs out with other Central Ward richies, but I would absolutely love people who will put up with his incredible dumbassery in a normal social setting. Maybe even people who think he's fun to be around, or who are equally as likely to put a fork in their microwave on a dare. (Of course, anyone who wants to be his impulse control is welcome, too.)
Past (or future) hook-ups and flings. If you're lucky, it took him two whole weeks to get bored and stop texting back!!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: ........................ Saul? obviously it's never gonna happen, but I would adore literally any other character from the Emperor's Children
