konran Thoughts

So. It's pretty damn clear by now that Wigglytuff isn't working for me, and I'm probably going to drop him from the game as soon as I finish this post (and possibly finish dinner). However, I love the concept of the game, and WANT to play in it.

Which leaves me wondering who I could app as his replacement. Got a few thoughts on the matter, and I'm gonna brainstorm below. (Probably gonna link this on Plurk, too, for the people I RP with to give their opinions.)

Beat (The World Ends With You): Originally my first choice for Wiggly's replacement, I've put him through a test drive at Ink City and... well. It's kind of a weird case. The character is there, the muse is there... but the voice is screwy. I keep catching myself having to change words in tags, I can't really THINK like he speaks, and word choice screws me up. He's still gonna stick around IC, but I think having him in two games might be a little much.

Twilight Sparkle (MLP: FiM): The absolute flip-side of the coin. The voice is strong, but I've been self-doubting myself ever since the whole anti-formers soapboxing incident. Konran could be what I need to solidify the muse again... but it could also totally wreck my enthusiasm for playing her altogether. I'm also not sure how she'd deal with the setting; she hates things she can't explain and has enough problems with that in IC. Maybe I just want this for the thought of seeing HER try to psychoanalyze the NPC doctors instead of the other way around.

Princess Luna (MLP: FiM): We aren't quite certain that there is enough chronicled knowledge on this pony, but we appear to have gotten her voice loud and clear. Alas, we fear that her manner of speech may... cause others to dislike her and forsake her. As well, there is the messy business of thinking up a user name and gathering icons.

Yukari Yakumo (Touhou Project): My strongest Touhou muse, and the one I'm thinking about sending to itsjustagamerp. However, one must be careful with the settings she's put in; I don't think, given the headcanon I have for her, she would particularly enjoy the thought of being a human after so many years, and she CERTAINLY won't be fond of the depowering. It MAY just be enough to cause her to go silent.

Sakuya Izayoi (Touhou Project): One of my ancient muses from the days I originally played Wigglytuff. Despite the muse's interest in going somewhere, there's two problems. One, I'm not sure she won't do the same thing as Wigglytuff did and be active just long enough for me to get in the door and immediately die off, and two, she's so headcanoned and alt-interpreted (She actually EMOTES! what is this witchcraft) that she might as well be AU.

Others: I'd give an Archie Sonic muse a try, but that would involve hunting down the last three or so years of the comic to canon review, since I've been out of the fandom THAT LONG. I have a budding (hah, floral puns) PMD:E Grovyle muse, but after how Wigglytuff flopped, I don't want to dip into the same fandom twice. I could try another Touhou, but very few of them really 'click' with me, and Remilia kinda fell into the same trap in Ink City that Sakuya would've - I hardly feel like I'm playing her right, but nobody in the game could tell me since I was all but literally the lone canon warrior.
