What role would the above OC play in a video game?

Posted 6 years, 11 months ago (Edited 5 years, 2 months ago) by Xhat

Just as the title says, this is a game where you take a look at the oc above your post and come up with the role they might play in a video game!

Here are a few things to remember while you're playing:

  • I shouldn't have to say this more than once, but please be respectful of one another.
  • Put some effort into what you're going to say. I'm sure that the other person will appreciate it!
  • If you're going to write something rather long, you may want to claim the post above you, just in case.
  • You can post once for every other three posts. If the thread hasn't moved in 24 hours, you may post before this.
  • NEW ** As of February 27th, please be sure to write more than one sentence. We want to see your imagination run!
  • NEW ** Also as of February 27th, make sure to give the character's profile a read - it helps in forming your assumption of their role! It also shows that you've thought about your answer, and everyone appreciates it. If there isn't anything to their profile and they merely have visuals, disregard this. :)

But how do I play?

  • Though this game might seem somewhat difficult, it's actually quite the opposite! 
  • All you have to do is look at the above oc and come up with their role in a video game.
  • Here are some questions you might want to ask yourself if you're stumped: "Are they a protagonist, antagonist, NPC, boss, party member, etc? What genre of video game might they belong in? Do they have any particular movesets? Do they serve a special purpose? Do they do something special in-game?"

Here's an example:

  • Person 1: What kind of video game character would characterA be?
  • Person 2: They look really buff and strong-willed, so they might be the protagonist! I could see them in some fantasy setting, like a noble knight trying to save a princess or something? They look like they could carry around really heavy weapons, and can pack a punch, so I'd say they're the heavy-hitter of the team.

Emily looks like a love-interest of the story, maybe even a bit of a damsel in distress? I would put her in a light fantasy rpg game taking place in a rococo type of time.

Marie looks like the like, feisty rival for the protagonist, constantly trying to one up you because they've got a crush on them


I'm crying that sounds like nitw

 

Incunabula oneironym

Hari would be the myserious guide character during the obligatory "trapped in a dream world" part of the game.

 Incunabula looks, stylistically, like a perfect fit as a SMT demon or a Persona, but past that, maybe an uncommon end-game mob fight that's a physical powerhouse. Just masses of Incunabula, almost unstoppable.

Ah Charlotte does indeed appear to be a traveling salesperson with their place of wears being that of a creature drawn wagon and various chimes, charms, and silks adorning it in bright colors. Upon stopped in an specific area, the side could be brought down to become a small platform where they would preform to show off the 'latest' almost even 'rare' goods that they have come across in their travels. Here the protagonist would be able to buy materials probably for alchemy or for magical purposes.


I absolutely love that idea, it's very interesting and would totally fit Arus. :3

 Arus is that one NPC you need to find but just can't seem to track down. He's constantly moving about the map, and it's extremely hard to pin him to one place! I could see encounters with him going two ways - a good ending, and a bad ending, if you will. If they player doesn't have the proper amount of luck, they will only be able to locate Arus when he's feeding. Thi triggers a battle, and let me tell you, Arus is a tough opponent to beat. However, if they've accumulated enough luck in the game, the player comes across Arus while passing each other on the street, which triggers a cutscene.

 He would either be the character that gives the main characters their objectives and hints on how to solve challenges  (a Mission Control, if you will) or a character the player has to escort repeatedly throughout the game and becomes a good pal for the team.

Kozakura unused-account

She'd be a quest-giving npc! None of her quests would be necissary for the story, but they would be a good way to grind some money.

Kim 'Kimiko' Madison YunaNoire

So I had a thought that he'd probably be a reocurring NPC character! You see him around in several places (since who'd want to stay wandering the same boring confined space forever) and he'd tell some jokes, or give some sort of commentary about the current events of the game! In particular, he also comments on the current music playing in the area! After you've talked to him, the music for the area remixes a little, giving whatever song an added flare that he'd be proud of!

Can also be found on the sound test screen, throwing down some beats and jams!

@Yuna_Animatus I can see Kim as a sweet villain, she lives in a pink kingdom. She'd fight you with words, lying, etc. Her music would be peppy and sweet!!

Akiko jetsetspy

 I can see her either as a protagonist or a party member! She'd be the peppy team member who's probably also a healer and keeps the morale up and cracks a bunch of jokes.


Ooooooh thats really fitting!!
