l_the_fangirlINFECTIOUS FAD, DAMMIT. A MEME BUT NOT JUST A MEME. MEMES ARE ANY KIND OF INFECTIOUS IDEA.
I blame http://tigerbunny-db.livejournal.com/41783.html - he blames me.
EITHER WAY!
1. 3 characters, no more, no less. One Pilot, one Anchor, and one Supporting Cast.
2. All media allowed. Comics, games, anime, movies, literature, whatever. However... I am somewhat biased AGAINST taking characters from giant-robot stories. This is more fun with fish-out-of-water.
3. Characters must be reasonably appropriate:
-- normal turn-of-21st-century teenagers or younger
-- more or less ordinary human beings (or if unusual, in such a way that it needn't be significant to their role in a Bliss Stage story)
-- capable of being interesting and workable characters uprooted from their source canon and with minimal ability to reference it
4. Post your slate somewhere we can see it - on your journal, in your webspace, wherever, and link to it in a comment here.
5. Include for each character
-- Name
-- Bliss Stage role (including types for pilots and anchors)
-- source
-- a brief description of the character as you see them, making a case for why they would be interesting for this hypothetical game
-- Age (and if relevant, what point in their personal canon you are taking them from)
6. Optionally, you may make a nomination of an Authority Figure. We'll pick from all the nominees once I have enough entries to be entertaining.
7. IF you enter a slate, repost these rules on your journal or in another venue so the disease can spread.
Haruhi Fujioka
Pilot - Rising Hero
From Ouran High School Host Club
Honest without realizing how honest she is, kind without realizing how kind she is, oblivious to how much she is loved and cherished (for many different values of loved), Haruhi (no, not THAT Haruhi) was the emotional center of the Host Club and would likewise be the heroic heart of a Bliss Stage game.
("I'm just doing what any decent person would do," Haruhi said.
Derek blinked. "Do you know how rare decent people are, post-Bliss?")
Age: 16. Taking her from her first appearance.
Ryouga Hibiki
Anchor - Comforting, or possibly Driven
From RanmaNibun No Ichi 1/2
Always more than willing to help his unrequited love (in Akane)... and more than willing to bury his misgivings about his rival (in Ranma) if he feels or his love convinces him that it's in her best interest. Always there with a comforting word, with training, with re-assurances, Ryoga will sacrifice all of himself for his love... if you can't stop him from doing so.
And don't get him mad. Ever.
("I... I can't do it!" Sara wailed. "My... my rapier can't deflect it, I... I can't..."
Privately, Ryouga thought, FUCK Keenan and FUCK the Witty Rapier, but only for a second. He sighed, and with a crank of a dial, reinforced the signal. "You can do it, Sara," he said, only a little sadly. "I l... Keenan loves you, and I trust you.")
Age: Not given, but likely 15-16. From the beginning of his story arc.
Alexander Luthor
Authority Figure
From Justice League (Unlimited)
The aliens... interrupted his business, to be sure, but he wasn't exactly SURPRISED by the invasion, just... by the tactics involved. Lex was always a believer in the power of the human spirit, and rather suspicious of anything Other. He's broadminded enough when it comes to non-Americans - he is, after all, originally of African decent (at least the JL/U version), but he has ISSUES with things not Human. Not to mention a Crazy Prepared paranoid streak. When the Bliss hit, his reaction was "Ah, attack through fatigue and/or dreams. Solution; my stasis/rejeuvenation chamber." When he had an alien brain, his reaction, likewise, was "Perhaps my dream scanning equipment would work well with this." It's good to be the CEO.
Age: Middle aged. Prior to meeting Superman, as he doesn't exist in this setting.
Hanako Ikezawa
Supporting Staff
From Katawa Shoujo
Horribly burned in an alien attack (Noxious Smokes and Fiery Rays, doncha know) that took out what family she had left - an attack that, perversely, she blames herself for - poor Hanako has managed to convince herself that she is an ugly person and a victim of circumstance, that no one would ever love her, and so she quietly cooks, cleans, and sorts through files, her head held low.
She is mistaken, of course. She is beautiful, and kind, and good, and the burns on her face are nowhere near as ugly as the rest of the world, let alone the aliens. If you could bring her out of her shell, then any kindness you could show her - kindness she needs - she would reward you for a thousandfold.
Age: High School age, and apparently a sophomore in the Japanese system. 15-16 is my guess. Prior to meeting Hisao.

Date: 2009-10-08 05:57 pm (UTC)Like Sexy Lexy as an AF nominee, although JLU-Lex would be my second choice. Would particularly be fun combined with the super-idealistic bent of the rest of your slate.

Date: 2009-10-08 06:02 pm (UTC)And will update with Supporting Cast. Hell, will port
HanakoViolet ShuHanako from KS right now.no subject
Date: 2009-10-08 06:35 pm (UTC)Hanako. Hmmmm. A bit bland. But could work in the right ensemble.
no subject
Date: 2009-10-08 06:49 pm (UTC)One with Braniac, and hence an alien mutant commie traitor?
no subject
Date: 2009-10-08 06:29 pm (UTC)Haruhi is a great choice! *goes to add Fandom All Star rules to her list*
