Character History Poll

Again, it's a really hard choice here for me, so I will talk it out as I try to decide...

After reading all three more than a few times, I do see some similarities to Celes's story elements in both Maranda Captured & The Desertion, basically how she got captured for what I assume to be feeling guilty and/or trying to escape, and thus branded a traitor and getting locked up and all that stuff.. but overall they are both different enough to not feel too much like Celes.

I feel that The Desertion would work much better as a male character indeed for this reason, but like we are all thinking another female character is needed. Although, now that I think about it ...do we really want a disfigured female character??? Not sure how she would get portrayed as female characters are usually so pretty! Or 'cute' in Relm's case lol. The 'Beastly' disfigured characters are always male, right?

Out of the two, I would have to give the slight edge to Maranda Captured, just because I do like what it all adds to Celes's story and how it would help to flesh out and fill in some plot holes and unsolved mysteries to the original story. Then again though, I'm not sure how much attention/interaction she would have to receive from Celes to make it seem legit, since Celes is basically tied up in 'messing around' with Locke for the whole story lol.

In my opinion I feel the easiest to draft into the game would be The Desertion, followed by Miranda Captured, and then The Betrayed young citizen would be the most difficult to achieve and pull off nicely...although actually maybe not. That character (TBYC) might require the least amount of work to the preexisting story & events since it is so original. Hm, does that make since? Like Gogo or Umaro, but with much more dialog and substance lol.

I think that The Betrayed young citizen is easily the most original out of the three, and I love the idea of Gestahl having a secret initiative of abducting homeless and 'unwanted' people for the experiments! That is so Gestahl. I am really tempted to just choose this one - but at the same time I'm not sure if it would be as practical and convincing as the other two.

Final Thought: I do like the idea of another former Imperial joining the team, as well as someone that is totally original like TBYC...

In the end I'm going to have to go with:

Ugh, I'm still not sure yet... >_<
