The GiantitpAnime Fans' Visual Novel (now planning settings and routes)

[Poison_Fish]

I could be comic relief, save that both Terra and I compete for Rutee's attention.

I suppose realistically ignoring my sense of humor and huge pervertedness, I'm told I'd make an excellent husbando. Oh, and I'm a social butterfly in a sense.

[Terraoblivion]

In short you are Teddy. Except without all the bad puns and with actual knowledge of who and what you are.

[kamikasei]

Rutee is both female and permabanned. She's...Konata. At least as far as online persona. Anyone who knows her disagree with me here?

Seems fair. But she should hardly be dead! I suggest making her the cut route.

[Poison_Fish]

It seems like I'll never escape being Teddy. Although even in real life people hang onto me like a teddy bear. Well, a big teddy bear.

[Drascin]

A few more things before I go...

Drascin: Chief Engineer, loves fixing all the big robots. Still not sure about a personality at the moment...

Based on my online persona? Easy. The dude means well, and is willing to work himself stupid for the others if necessary, but he's handicapped in his effort to help by being involuntarily, but highly, annoying. He (or she, if we're all going to be genderswapped) just talks in a way that makes people stop listening to him very quickly (add unnecessary technobabble, weird remarks, whatever you feel appropiate). I'm sure most people here will understand what I mean . Has trouble with the whole "general picture" thing, and is very obsessive with the details. Quick and generous to give praise if deserved, but also too quick to chastise if s/he sees any error. Basically, think a gentler, less emotionally damaged Ritsuko.

...your personality fits an idealistic, Dojikko scientist so much it's frightening.

Seconded. I had you archived mentally as "cool", Terra, but in light of this I wonder whether "cute" would fit you more .

[nothingclever]

Oh and a few more things about me. I am really clumsy most of the time and wear glasses, the most awesome, bright red glasses ever.

Yeah, it actually does get pretty fun at times. Though my ability to obsess about tea, chocolate and food in general probably does less so.

Do you happen to look anything like this?

[Nerd-o-rama]

Where'd you get a photo of Terra?

[Prime32]

What's a Scrander?

As for your actual role, I think I can fit something in...maybe as Rogue's Dragon/right hand man?

Well, I do enjoy troping. (for example)

[Poison_Fish]

Where'd you get a photo of Terra?

Damn it, I thought we stopped those from floating around.

[Rogue 7]

I have a minion now! Muahahahaha!

Edit: And I just found a crumpled-up Hachimaki in my pocket. I now insist that this be incorporated into my character design.

[Terraoblivion]

Unfortunately for you, i don't look like that NC. I have a different style of glasses, blond hair...and i guess i look kinda like Miyuki would in a realistic style.

And really, Drascin. It depends on what aspects of me you focus on whether cool or cute is most fitting. I am not really nice enough for most cute archtypes while i am a bit too clumsy and awkward for most cool archtypes. But judge me based on what you see.

[kamikasei]

And really, Kami.

I think you meant Nerdo?

[Terraoblivion]

No, i meant Drascin.

[Tengu_temp]

Unfortunately for you, i don't look like that NC. I have a different style of glasses, blond hair...and i guess i look kinda like Miyuki would in a realistic style.

You also are more argumentative and confrontational than Miyuki. Which is actually cooler.

[Drascin]

I'm feeling like I'm Hong Meiling right now ;_;

[kamikasei]

I'm feeling like I'm Hong Meiling right now ;_;

I'm going to say "who?" because it seems like part of the joke.

[13_CBS]

I'm feeling like I'm Hong Meiling right now ;_;

That's it, I'm making your character Chinese (in ethnicity).

[Terraoblivion]

Yeah, sorry about that Drascin. I really did think about you, but i guess that talking to Kami while writing had an effect. At least i didn't slip random Danish into any of the sentences.

[13_CBS]

I've added Terraoblivion and Drascin to the cast list.

To do list for characters:

Poison Fish
Rutee
Closet Skeleton
Dizposition
Prime32

Am I missing anyone?

[Drascin]

I'm going to say "who?" because it seems like part of the joke.

"My name is not China! I AM HONG MEILING! HONG MEILING!"

Poor Meiling.

That's it, I'm making your character Chinese (in ethnicity).

...I'm not sure how I feel about this. If I do end up genderswapped, though, please do base the design a bit on Meiling in that case. If only because it's one more funny reference to the pile.

Yeah, sorry about that Drascin. I really did think about you, but i guess that talking to Kami while writing had an effect. At least i didn't slip random Danish into any of the sentences.

Nah, don't worry. Just a slip of the tongue (or would it it be slip of the hands, here?).

[Fri]

*Sprays his drink to his side*

Gah!

Well... uh

This is gooing to be realllyy awkward.... And I can see about a dozen way of this imploding now.

pleasedon'tblamemepleasedon'tblameme

*see? I'm already going to my mecha protagonist mode*

At least you can make the protagonist boring and empty vessel ala most VN protagonist now.

*So I'm really going to be romancing tengu now *

[13_CBS]

Prime32 and Rutee added. Lurker edited.

@Fri: Relax. How many forum members can truly say that they've got themselves a harem of genderbent men?

[Terraoblivion]

I have to admit that i had never expected to see a male Rutee. Especially not while still going with the Konata personality.

[13_CBS]

I have to admit that i had never expected to see a male Rutee. Especially not while still going with the Konata personality.

As I've said, I don't really know Rutee that well. And besides, the males were getting heavily outnumbered, and Konata's personality actually works pretty well with a guy--laid back, mischievous, a flirt, loves comics and cartoons, etc.

Edit: Once I'm done with the basic character summaries, I'll get to fleshing them out (names in the NV, age, other trivial info) and get to working on mecha designs.

[Prime32]

...and for some reason I expected to remain a guy. I'm not sure why.

@Fri: Relax. How many forum members can truly say that they've got themselves a harem of genderbent men?

You were not involved in BleachITP.



EDIT: I have some mecha designs lying around.

[13_CBS]

...and for some reason I expected to remain a guy. I'm not sure why.

Would you prefer to be a guy? If you do, the Great Laws dictate that you'll be in a yaoi relationship with Rogue.

Edit: Just for lols, and also to help me keep track of the male:female ratio of the characters:

The following characters are female in the VN:

Tengu (Childhood Friend, Cloud Cuckoolander)
Nothingclever (Mysterious Waif, Kuudere)
Kamikasei (Imouto, Yandere)
Lurkerintheplayground (Evil Noblewoman, Big Bad)
Nerd-o-Rama (Tough-love Commander, Tsundere?)
Terraoblivion (Hot Scientist, Dojikko)
Drascin (Wrench Wench, Genius Ditz)
Prime32 (Mad Admiral's Beautiful Lieutenant, Lady of War)
Closet Skeleton (Bridge bunny, Kuudere)
Poison Fish (Comic Relief, Bottle Fairy)

The following characters are male in the VN:

Fri (Idiot Hero)
Lord of Rapture (Mad Scientist, lord of Wonderful Failures)
KnightDisciple (Lancer)
Rogue 7 (Dragon)
Cubey (Otouto, Emo?)
Rutee (Laid Back dude)
Dizposition (Male Bridge Bunny)

[Terraoblivion]

Konata is an otaku surrogate, she was meant to be a lot like a guy. Just weird to see Rutee be male, especially after what line it was that had Nerdo raise the topic of her being in this in the first place.

[13_CBS]

Is it that weird? I can switch her back if that's the case.

[Prime32]

Eh, I had fun playing a Dark Magical Girl in BitP anyway, though that was partly due to the shock factor (KnightDisciple can explain) and my previous character always arriving too late to the party (particularly frustrating since I had intended him to defeat his foes with complex strategies which I never got a chance to use).

[Terraoblivion]

For me at least. No idea if it is for the rest of the people who know her well.
