α CHARACTER
Name: Jiaoqiu (
Canon: Honkai: Star Rail
Blurp:
A foxian doctor who pioneered a new kind of medicine via culinary skill and good food, riddled with wartime trauma, polite yet deeply sarcastic, and recently blinded in an attack by a longtime enemy of his people but ultimately prevailed due to his cunning.
Vessel Type & General ideas:
Bloodwright, probably? He's very tied into healing as a character, so it'd be interesting to give him the ability to do it magically -- it would also be very interesting that it has the equal ability to harm, something he would struggle incredibly with if it ever goes out of control.
My two character options that I'm picking here would either be interesting on a day-to-day basis for the basic living situation of the characters, or would be interesting on a long-term plot basis. Jiaoqiu is the former; being a doctor, he would be instrumental in a post-apocalyptic setting, and being a chef, he would be able to make even rations palatable. He's a largely polite character and gets on with most, though he has a vicious streak of sarcasm. He's a scholar, and so would be interested in learning about this world and its god, though he doesn't have great experiences with gods.
The connection function would be especially interesting for him, given that Jiaoqiu's largely dead inside. He was a wartime medic for so long that it gave him significant trauma, causing his emotions (and his sense of taste) to shut down. So, making connections is a rare thing for him.
α CHARACTER
Name: Ranni (
Canon: Elden Ring
Blurp:
A demigod who slew her own godly body to live as a spirit inhabiting a porcelain and metal doll -- life-sized, four-armed, blue-skinned, with a comically large witch hat. She encouraged the MC of Elden Ring of kill all the corrupt gods (including her own family) so that Ranni could become the new, fairer god
Vessel Type & General ideas:
For Ranni, I'm not sure entirely sure! Definitely a monster type, since it would be frankly hilarious to have a doll body turning into a monster. Probably something bird-like, or angelic.
If Jiaoqiu is the character I thought would be interesting on a day-to-day living situation basis for this game, Ranni is the one that would be interesting for how she can relate to the plot. One: she'd indulgently find it amusing to have been tugged into this place by a fellow god, but would be irritated at not being able to leave, to say the least, as she is not a fan of most other gods. Two: she relates heavily to the moon, being a Lunar Princess and using lunar magic.
Personality wise, she would be somewhat difficult to get on with for most other characters. She speaks in a way I can only describe as gently Shakespearean with riddles and enigmas, she doesn't clearly say what she means all that often, and she's just kind of manipulative. Underneath all of that, though, she's a good person (despite the god she murdered and the war she kicked off)! She wants the best for people, and is willing to sacrifice everything about herself for it. She would also just be kind of hilarious to have around, because of waves hands everything that she is and the way that she behaves. She would be very interested in studying the magic here, as she comes from a royal family of scholars.
Also, she's many many eons old, forged very connections, and forging more here would be a WHOLE EXPERIENCE for her.

I can see why she'd be hard to manage in a game, but man it would be cool to see her around. I feel like she and Ozpin could be really fun and unhelpfully vague together.

Actually maybe they'll get along too well. I'm looking forward to it.

They can also talk shit about gods that commit genocide together!

Somehow I haven't yet gotten to the point Jiaoqiu is introduced in HSR (I'm so behind) but I do think he's super cute ;; Also just happy to throw them together and see if something clicks!

She'd totally understand where Viktor's coming from, though. She'd get his need to transcend his body, she'd get his need to help people, she'd totally empathize with everything he did, which would be interesting
no subject
Very interesting indeed! I think there would also be an interesting element of her doll body triggering some of trauma by forcing him to look back on what he did to a lot of people, so... sorry about that
no subject
And oof yes that aspect would definitely be interesting re: his automotons. She's beyond things like pain and injury and illness, but still very much has her emotions, so she's not QUITE what the Arcane Herald envisioned for humanity, but pretty close!

She is going to write them a sternly worded letter.

If Trina was willing to put Miquella to death, she's definitely willing to dumpster this god, she's just not as trigger happy.
So she got yo flower, sister!!
