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? (Will a powerless character gain something?) <b>Do you think they'll be active?</b> <b>Do you think they'll participate in plot?</b> <b>Why this character interests you here</b>: <b>Potential concerns</b>:

Oh my God Digger please dkjfhgjdkf seriously I just flailed in my seat. I think she'd be awesome for the setting because of her extreme practicality, especially given how many 'magical'/supernatural characters we already have; it'd make a good contrast given her own background and perspective of things.

ahahaha I was wondering when someone would recognize the comic. HELLO. Would you believe I was going nuts trying to choose just one person from that? I would not mind playing Shadowchild or Ed at all. Didn't go with them because I don't want to humanify Ed (I like the disconnect with this enormous softy also being a big hairy hyena monster), and Shadow is a little too mysterious/OP and I don't really know how to handle the 'Shadolescent' form. And I could easily spend hours trying to boil down the eating shadows thing into a... thing.

Digger's unique perspective is a big pro, yes.

Hi! XD I would believe it, yes. Of the whole comic Shadowchild is the character I got any muse for, but man, he would be so hard to try and define or play, especially because there was a lot left unsaid about his nature/motivations once he grew up a bit. I agree with you about Ed, too. He's definitely one you'd want to keep as he is, not just because of that dichotomy but because of the sheer difference in culture, I think. It's so different that in combination with the kind of character Ed is, it would make it hard to play him humanised.

As for your concerns about Digger I was too busy flailing to address: I can't offer a character who would shake her and go 'SHHH', but there seem to be a few already in the game who might. Alternately, if she's taken in for memory rehabilitation a few times that might help her realise that swallowing a bit of tackiness is probably necessary to avoid having more magic done.

Regarding the icons, maybe a comic/animanga PB? A live-action one feels like it would be weird, for Digger, but surely there's something drawn out there which you could use as a base rather than having to draw a set from scratch.
