What type of MC do you enjoy playing?

Honestly, I feel a bit awkward posting this. When I first started writing this game, I decided that I wouldn't go out of my way to ask this question, if only because I was worried about the answers impacting the writing process in some way.

Still, now that I've gotten pretty far into what is going to be the "initial demo", I've started to wonder what types of characters people are actually going to look forward to playing. I personally tend to just do multiple routes with multiple OCs and don't particularly care what options aren't/are available.

I know that not everyone is like that though, so I thought it would be best to get a good understanding of what options I should focus on (or add if they're not already there), if only so I don't have to go back and rewrite/add a bunch of stuff later on.

So, what type of MC do you enjoy playing? Is there a specific type that you are wanting to play in this game? Specific relationship dynamics that you are wanting?

        BEHAVE, SMILE AND ACT according to the lady’s etiquette. 

        Right. 

        She was vaguely aware of her lack of disinterest in the party. Lacie disliked gatherings because gentlemen with the illest intentions would fluck up on her, asking her for a dance and all she had to do was huf a quick no, roll her eyes, her teeth gritting. They’d see her the disgust in her eyes and withdrew their hands to the side. The situation was awkward for them and annoying for Lacie. 

        Lacie backed away in a small corner of the ball room, finding comfort in the distance from the huge crowd. “Now I have to make sure Glen doesn’t find me and drag me back.” This person Glen was her master but in name only - she’d not give him the pleasure of making it more than that.

🎎 + Was there something in particular that Gozaburo was looking to gain from the arranged marriage? [ OR ] Did he have any specific conditions that had to be met before he agreed to it?

Power, of course. There is a truth that remains ever constant amongst those who have reached the peak of success: the more power they have, the more they want. There's always one more step they can give to increase their influence, one more enemy to defeat, one more echelon to climb. There is always more. Seto himself, as part of the 'legacy' he inherited from his adoptive father, has fallen victim to this same disease ( though in his case, this 'power' has nothing to do with monetary gain ).

Gozaburo was a calculating man; scheming and cunning to his death. When it comes to what we see in canon, you might think that he was careless in the way he allowed Seto enough freedom to move his own pieces on the chessboard and set into motion a strategy that ultimately became Gozaburo's defeat. But that's not really the case. Gozaburo's molding of his heir was an absolute success. Seto grew up to become exactly who Gozaburo wanted him to be. This is why just seconds before he jumped to his death, we see him openly laughing, before instilling one final lesson in Seto. There is no doubt in my mind that as he was falling to his death, Gozaburo was absolutely proud of what he had achieved with Seto ( a far cry from the Gozaburo we see in the anime, who seemed to bore hatred towards Seto for "stealing his company" ).

When it comes to our verse, we have Fujiwara Hideyoshi. A man who shares Gozaburo's greed for power and has accumulated an incredible amount of influence. Perhaps the one difference between them is that while Hideyoshi's wealth is a result of his own ambition but also of resources that his family has had for generations, Gozaburo's was self-made ( as per my headcanon ). I do believe Hideyoshi is most likely a man who Gozaburo absolutely detests, precisely because of the equivalency of their socioeconomic status. They both seem the type to adhere to the belief of "be the most powerful man in the room or you're nothing", so in a way, they're both a stepping stone in the pursuance of each other's goals. But at the same time, it would be impossible for one of them to completely destroy the other without ultimately obliterating themselves; thus the need for a different strategy. Gozaburo has influence and multibillion dollar agreements with foreign governments to supply their military equipment ( war is one of humanity's most profitable businesses, after all ), while Hideyoshi has the greater influence within Japan, which government and its anti-weapons discourse is, to say the least, a headache for Kaiba Corporation's CEO. One has what the other lacks. Combine those two, and their power would be unlimited. As I see it, that's the premise that gave way to the whole 'marriage negotiations'. I call it a negotiation because that's truly all it is. Of course men like these are the kind to see marriage as a business transaction.

Conditions ? Mutual benefits, of course. Access to Hideyoshi's network of connections within the Japanese government and other enterprises, for example. They probably also discussed the possibility of Tomoe and Takahiro opposing the decision, considering the former's "estranged" status within the Fujiwara family. I imagine they agreed to "dispose of them if necessary".

All in all, I believe that in this particular transaction, Gozaburo concluded he ultimately had the upper hand and that the control of the Fujiwara family would soon pass to the Kaiba family. Hideyoshi isn't a young man, after all. He envisioned him dying sooner than later. And when that comes to pass, it will be Seto who steps up as the leader of both families. Kisara ? Absolutely unimportant. A minor character that would fade into the background. Leave it to such a monstrous man to regard women as disposable.

//Just to clarify if it hasn't been clear already:

Show!Vasily is not my Vasily.

I'm primarily book and headcanon based and there will be some small things from the show I will implement with him but you can still consider him blonde and not outright evil and grisha hunting here. I will clarify down below. I was so outright disappointed what they did to him and how they literally butchered his recasting by making him a brunette. My Vasya is blonde and blonde only. Also his uniform - A LITERAL FUCKING CARPET??? - anyway I will not rant about s2 because it was messy and I only liked some parts of it.

Things I will implement from the show:

1. Vasily as the commander of the first army. In my verses, he has had this position for a longer time, even before his father's sickness.

2. Vasily making dumb jokes about undressing people but always asking for consent. That was sooo good. I really liked that. It's the massive distinction between him and his father.

3. His behavior in season 1 (playing in with his saber when bored or in distress) and his actor George Parker as a fc.

Differences between show!Vasily and my Vasily:

1. Hair color and style!!!!

2. Uniform - dark blue season 1 style stays for me, not the CARPET

3. Grisha hunting. Just no. Vasily respects Grisha. Period.

4. His connections to Fjerda. I think that Vasily is fascinated by the home country of his mother and speaks Fjerdan perfectly. Also he is very versed about their culture and religion, even if he doesn't practice it

5. My Vasily died making a deal with Fjerdans - even if it wasn't so out of character for him to invite his drinking friends

6. My Vasily would never call Nikolai the things he said to him in the show IN PUBLIC and live to see the tale. Nikolai would kill him. Or tell him off at least.

7. His relationship with his father. Alexander Lantsov has abused him physically and mentally for most of his life and Vasily despises him with his whole heart.

[arcanusarchieves-if]

hi! how would the ro's deal with mc who is a clingy sleeper, head over their chest, tangled legs, hands holding them?

This is such a wonderful questions! I am admittedly a bit biased because this is how I sleep...

For the most part, Astoria is a pretty cuddly person so she would really enjoy having MC cling onto her during the night. The only issues would be the heat during the summer (she runs pretty hot) and having to get up early for work. She'd probably end up making an internal multi-step plan that will allow her to slip out of bed while also make sure MC is still sleeping comfortably!

Shockingly, Caspian would probably handle this type of MC the best, despite his overall shitty sleeping habits. He's used to sharing a bed with Oliver (who gets pretty severe night terrors) and isn't exactly phased by someone being in his space. Also, depending on his past dynamic with MC, he might already be used to sharing a bed with them (in a platonic sense ofc). If he had to get up for any reason, he probably wouldn't feel too bad about it and would probably just murmur a quick "gotta get up for a sec, darlin'" before moving.

No. Absolutely not. Unstoppable force has met the unmovable object. Solaine would despise sharing a bed with this type of MC (at least for a while haha). They're a very light sleeper and practically any touch will wake them up - so let's hope for MC's sake that they go to bed before Solaine does. I think they'd get used to it after a while but only because they've realized that they can just shove MC away instead of staring at the ceiling all night.

I feel like Maeve would be ambivalent/neutral on this? She wouldn't love it necessarily (she's the type that gets up out of bed during the night when she can't sleep) but she wouldn't loathe it either. Her and Jasper used to bunk together when they were younger and he's also a pretty clingy sleeper, so she does have some experience dealing with it! Whether or not she decides to just put up with it for the night or will just shove MC off really depends on her mood at the time.

Pot meet Kettle. In all seriousness though, Jasper is the exact same way, so he'd really love an MC like this! Honestly, the real concern isn't if it would bother him - it's if he would be willing to get up out of bed in the morning when he knows he could just sleep in and cuddle with MC. This might honestly end up being more of a problem for them compared to having different sleeping habits haha.

@dminica liked for a starter with my The Little Mermaid (2023) muses.

Selina was a mother first and foremost, so even when her children thought she didn't know about what they were up to, she, more often than not, did.

Barely glancing up from her papers when her daughter came in to breakfast, the queen spoke.

"So, your brother has been showing our guest a nice time. What do you think of her?"

@lightcreators

She sensed them looking at her, observing her from a safe distance. The mansion was filled with people, exchanging the last gossip or small talks about business, funds - it was all about money for the rich people and these parties were a failed disguise to obtain each other's favour or plot another plan to destroy the reputation of the one they hated the most.

Lacie with her raven hair, crimson red eyes and her piercing expression was the main subject of today's impressions. It may not seem so but at the heart of the room, she was feeling the attention, both verbally and physically, and she wanted to get out of here, get away from the toxic air and embrace the solitude in her room.

"I want to leave." She whispered to her companion next to her. "I can't stand being around them, Jack."

@fanatic-domain-roleplay​​​

Halbrand always assumed that leaving the Southlands would give him some peace of mind. He’d be far away from his past. Far from the people he betrayed and hurt and far from the evil that had persuaded him into such atrocities in the first place.  But also far... far away from his family.

Leaving was simultaneously the best and the worst decision he’s ever made. Because no matter how hard he tried to leave the past behind, leave it right there in that cursed land, the memories were always with him. Haunting him and making him unable to get more than a couple hours of rest at once. If he were lucky.

But, at least he was away from all the people he disappointed. His people. Sure, they were without a king now, but... well, who would want a king who betrayed them like that? Better no king at all, he’d think. 

They were better off without him.

He should have known better than to trust the word of a moriondor. He should have known that there was no way he would have negotiated with him under fair conditions. Yet, in his desperation, he still tried. And as expected, it backfired.

He is about to board a boat to get even further away, when he spots a strange looking man in the shadows near a treeline. A frown covers his face as he makes his way closer to him. His clothing... it’s unlike anything he’s seen before. 

“... Can I help you with anythin’?”
