Character Concept Poll - B-Run - 06-24-2013
Here is where the final voting for the character concept for our 15th man! Here are our submissions:
The Outspoken Philosopher
This guy/girl has a unique look at everything and is not afraid to share it. What they say may sound unconventional/harsh, but on some level, it is highly accurate. They are fairly intelligent but sometimes lacking in common sense and social skills, leading to some humorous situations. They often say too much, but they are well meaning and will back off if they actually manage to realize that they have crossed the line. The player may not like this character entirely at first, but should gain an appreciation for them as time goes on.
This character should work well in FF6 because they can throw a wrench into the normal character interactions and maybe cause a little tension (although not enough to become annoying). They can also make some interesting comments on the strange events that occur over the course of the game.
The Blundering Hero
This character hasn't been pushed into conflict against his own will, nor does he battle unwillingly for the greater good. No, this character is excited at the chance of fighting evil and actively seeks it out. Aspiring to be remembered for his heroic deeds, this character charges into battle without a moment's notice. While not entirely incompetent, this character's over-eagerness results in frequent mishaps, and while not entirely motivated by pride, overconfidence is his constant companion. Despite these faults, he remains steadfast, enthusiastic, and loyal to the cause to which he has committed himself.
This character would work well in FF6 because he is unlike any of the characters currently playable. While most of the main characters in FF6 have been drawn into conflict with the Empire due to some personal vendetta, this character sees it as an opportunity to make himself known as a hero. He finds enjoyment at every turn, offering a unique worldview that no other character holds.
The Implacable Experiment
This character is an individual who has had close contact with the Empire after being used for human (or esper) experimentation in the Magitek Facility and has taken on a grotesque appearance. This character is aware of their disturbing appearance and their primary drive is to seek vengeance against those who have wronged him/her and to see that they are brought to justice.
This character would work well in FF6 as they would serve to show the more cruel and inhumane side of the Gestahlian Empire, especially when you consider how much Terra's past is lacking in filling in the darker parts of the Empire's history. This character would also ideally have a somewhat strange fighting style which would vary from the other characters, they also by merit of being a Magitek experiment could have a natural magic learning list.

The Blundering Hero
As much as I feel The Implaccable Experiment is probably the most unique idea overall IMO, I'm more of a fan of the Blundering Hero (and the Outspoken Philosopher) because I feel that they add something that is more unique in the context of this game. FF6 already has a few gloomy stories and horrible experiments, but nothing quite like a derpy hero who is trying to prove himself. I like the idea of having a character that hasn't already been bombarded with just about everything that life can throw at somebody, either before or during their introduction, and is still kind of wet behind the ears (although that admittedly applies to Relm as well).

How long is this poll open anyway?
RE: Character Concept Poll - B-Run - 06-30-2013
It closes first thing tomorrow. Its easier on me to keep everything open a full week since I typically only post from my phone on the weekends. The character history submissions thread will open tomorrow as well so get your creative juices flowing.
