15th Man Submissions Thread: Character Concept
#1
Welcome to the very first submissions thread in The 15th Man Project! Before posting, please read the Rules and Overview.

The first thing to tackle in creating our 15th man is the character's basic concept. This answers the simple question, "What kind of person is this?" This does not cover ANY character specifics like hometown, history, abilities, etc... simply an overarching feel for the character and why/how this character would mesh with the current cast.

Each submission needs a title, for example, Lockes character can be referred to as "The Lovable Rogue". This sums up your design in a few words or short phrase. This will be the identifier by which people will vote. Please bold your title to make your post more easily identifiable as a submission.

The rest of your post should deal with describing your idea and why you think its a good one! There are no real requirements here, just do your best to explain yourself.

There are only TWO submissions per member. If at any point you change your mind or want to make changes, please edit your original post.

Lastly, feel free to interact with each others ideas, however bashing others or their ideas will NOT be tolerated. Discuss, encourage, collaborate... however, in the case of constructive criticism, please be cautious with who you are replying to. Many people will take constructive criticism as plain negativity. I would suggest keeping things like constructive criticism to members you know won't take things the wrong way. Try to keep comments positive. We are here to help, not win.

Example of a good submission:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lovable Rogue

The Lovable Rogue is a character who participates in ill-reputable acts, but because of how/why they do those things, they become a sympathetic character to the audience. Often the victims of the Lovable Rogue's crimes are either unknown to the player or previously made out to be a jerk, so that the actions of the Lovable Rogue lose their potency as a real crime.

A character like The Lovable Rogue would fit in with the cast of FF6 because with lead characters like Terra and Celes, who are constantly questioning themselves and the world, someone who is confident in who they are and how to operate in the world, holding certain kinds of rules and authority loosely, makes for a good contrast to the main points of view displayed by the main protagonists. The Lovable Rogue also brings a level of levity to the otherwise oppressive themes throughout the plot of FF6.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Example of a bad submission:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
We should totally make a character like Cloud from FF7, he needs to have omnislash or something like it. This character would be good because he is cool and FF7 was the best FF so we should put someone like him in FF6.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

That about does it. So lets hear from you! I am really looking forward to getting this project underway and hearing what the community comes up with for our 15th man.

Happy Hacking.
