Basically... ideas that you've had for any of your characters that looked good on paper, but just couldn't work out?
Some of these may be a bit long. Just a forewarning.
-Ash:
Idea 1: Ash the Dragoon?
Concept: Inspired (heavily) from Legend of Dragoon. Basically Ash discovers his heritage, he is the descendant of an ancient order of Dragoons that were around during one of the earlier wars on Igala. Not the typical Lance-wielding Leapers, but people who were more like warriors but more intuned to the magic of land. Also could sport some bitching armor (complete with wings).
What Happened?: Well I had already made a decently good backstory for Ash... to throw this in would totally make HUGE plotholes (and I had just gotten done with lotsa plotholes in Ash's background already). I also ran it by Jak (or was it KoD?) and he didn't seem too thrilled about the idea. So to ensure that I wouldn't get into a huge debate with many people (mostly AM and anyone else who I knew would find it stupid) I stopped it before it could go on. Though it would have been fun.
Idea 2: Ash the Vigilante?
Concept: The King of Doma has begun to act very strangely, almost like an entire different person at times. He makes some very odd decisions, and very unorthodox choices. This of course brings Ash at odds with his King, since he's apart of the Omnicouncil, and would have to enforce such distasteful laws. (This is during that time) Then the King accuses Rydia of treason, and orders her execution. This is the last straw for Ash as he decides to rescue Rydia before her cruel fate (practically signing his resignation), and takes her to Nekonia. He then goes to a tree stump and stores the clothing he had worn during his time at the omnicouncil, and sets out to try and find out answers on his own. Basically he is now a vigilante, no longer a hero, or a general. He'd eventually find out that the King was under the influence of his evil twin Sinister King of Doma, Rico and Merr.
What Happened?: Well believe it or not, I was actually able to get KoD and Dia to agree to this... or at least KoD. I even had Rico and Merr test out the controlling equipment on Ash, turning him evil for a chat rp (Jinx, FFFan, KoD and a few others might remember that incident). But then I was more busy with work, and kept missing Chat Rps, so it soon was put on the backburner... then never to be brought up again. Would have been interesting, Ash becoming a vigilante and having to run from the very troops he had trained.
-Rico:
-Idea 1: Evil Gets an Upgrade?
Concept: Dark Fanrico basically obtains greater power in his quest to rid himself of his enemies (mainly Ash and Amana). The upgrade would include skeletal blades from his wrists, more upgraded hellfire magics, and whatnot.
What Happened?: People got tired of Rico, and I was still struggling to get him a definate list of moves (got tired of making them up half the time). So it was mostly the fact that Rico wasn't being treated seriously anymore that put a damper on this one.
-Idea 2: The Dark Fanricos Merge
Concept: Lil' Rico (the adopted son of Aya and Charles), Current Rico and a dimension hopping copy (from the ADV world, since there seemed to be two Ricos at the time) all combine to form a vastly more powerful Rico (more along the lines of the first Rico incarnation).
What Happened?: This was mainly an attempt to bring Dark Fanrico back to his basics. Make his more of the evil bastard sonuvabitch he was back in the Hit Rp. But I forgot about it at the time. Go Fig.
-Idea 3: Trial of Dark Fanrico?
Concept: Through the combined efforts of a small band of warriors, and magic types(the people who put Rico back into Hell the first time: Ash, Jak, Kotoki, the Hyral Bros., Molokidan, Christydia, Kadina, and just about anyone else who cared to join) Rico is brought before the court of Doma. To be tried for the crimes he has committed in the past.
What Happened?: Eh... sounded too cheesy. That and it's really hard to get as many people together like there was in the Hit now (and keep it under control and the people to keep posting too). So it died out, also cause I thought up my Espylocopa idea at the same time.
-Idea 4: Rico's Sister?
Concept: Never really got too far on this one, but basically a female demon who was made on the same day as Rico was appears and tries to help her "Creation Brother".
What Happened?: Read it. Sounds pretty damn silly.
-Christydia:
-Idea 1: Meeting the parents
Concept: Ash and Christydia go back to Christdia's hometown to meet her parents. Two mages who have very little respect for "sword-weilding savages", and have the highest (aka: impossible) expectations of their daughter.
What Happened?: Eh... had too many characters as is to be bringing in Christydia's parents. Though it would've been funny.
-Remarte':
-Idea 1: Remarte's a Fallen Angel?
Concept: Remarte' eventually finds out that he was an angel (would explain his wings), but was corrupted by demons and sent to the Pits.
What Happened?: Well I had at this time forgot that i had already made a Remarte' fic, where he was about to face off against a Fallen Angel (one of my better fics, but it never got finished ). That and it wouldn't make sense due to his eyes, no angel has the type of eyes Rem has.
-Merr:
-Idea 1: Kidnapping the King's Daughter
Concept: To re-insert his presence into events, Merr kidnaps the newly born child of Aya and Charles. Mainly to draw Ash back into a fight, but he obviously underestimates Aya... and her temper.
-What Happened?: Well it'd be kinda hard for me to convince people of this, specially since alot was going on at the time, I felt like having Merr adding to those problems wouldn't be the best of ideas at the moment. <p>"Well What do you know. Alcohol does burn, and here I thought they said that just to keep flame throwers out of the hands of drunks."</p>Edited by: Ash Fanrico at: 8/7/03 2:53 am
