Hi folx!
So, in my infinite wisdom, I've been trying to play two pretty similar uber heroes for a few months now. It was goin' pretty swell for a while but now their plots are conflating and I'm not sure how motivated I am to push them to be different, all leading to the possibility that I may be switching out our beloved Deku, Izuku Midoriya, when my time in the Death Game is up. Maybe. Not sure. Still kinda thinking about keeping him and pushing him in a new direction, but I've got reservations about that too. Idk.
So I'm looking for thoughts on some options! I've narrowed down my list by removing all do-gooders (Tails) and arbiters of pure evil (Pride/Envy, Mandark, Witch-King, Lich King Arthas) from the running and have ended up with the following options I'm looking for some feedback on. A big thing here is I want this character to be a native of the Crossroads, just bc I think that's fuckin' cool.
Option A: Jedi Exile (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II)
The gist here is I'd probably take the canon female Jedi Exile, Meetra Surik, and turn her into a native of Mesa Roja. She was my original second character here, an incarnation of her that wasn't a native, and so this would be different, but I love the character and feel she is much more grounded than either of my two others that I'm definitely keeping (Mickey and Azula). Plus, this would let me stay grounded but also NPC HK-47, the best character in any Star Wars media ever. I also have a small desire to RP the Mandalorian from The Mandalorian, but I feel he's very similar to the Exile, I connect with the Exile better, and she uses a lightsaber, so she won out. And hey, maybe I could NPC him too.
Option B: Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper)
The Thievius Raccoonus himself. He's an anthropomorphic animal, just like Mickey, but I feel like he has a whole different vibe, and I'd love to sorta cast him as like a neat master thief throughout the Crossroads. He wins out as the character of choice from Sly Cooper-verse just because I feel like he's the most versatile ability-wise, though I certainly wouldn't mind playing Constable Neyla from Sly 2 either. She just doesn't have nearly as much cool shit going on.
Option C: Sphinx (Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy) or someone else from Greek/Egyptian mythology
This is sorta fulfilling my maybe desire to play a character from mythology. Sphinx is an intense warrior who also has some magic powers, and I'd also probably end up playing him more grounded... probably more grounded than his actual video game self is. But he's really just the easiest one to slot into this particular niche I'm thinking of exploring, which is trying to make, essentially, an OC rooted in Greek or Egyptian mythology as it's portrayed in Sphinx or Age of Mythology. Was also thinking about like an OC version of Horus.
Option D: Wii Fit Trainer (Wii Fit)
The meme option. She would travel through the galaxy trying to make sure everyone is hydrating and doing their exercises. I think this would be hilarious if I can figure out how best to execute it, but I'm currently still mulling it over, and she may be better as a one-off NPC.
And then Option E is to keep Deku and try to figure something out. Maybe shift him into Fantasy Deku and have him go explorin'? Not sure, y'all. EDIT: The Thing here is that I'd like to push him in a different direction but also don't wanna lose the core of who he is by making him less hero-y, right? And the hero part is kinda the problem.
Would love some feedback/discussion to maybe help parse through this, and the ones listed at the top are also still in consideration, so if you'd like to hear about those options, lmk. The likelihood of them are: Envy/Pride, Witch-King, Arthas, Mandark, Tails. Tails is last mostly because I mainly plan for him to be Mickey's replacement when Mickey retires.
Thanks in advance for your input <3
