(y'all can give me your wishes from me too, I'm just using this opportunity to tl;dr)

so right off the bat, I don't have any solid goals for my characters specifically. I am having a great time with Morph just rolling with what's going on in Expi, and whatever the consequences of their actions might be

As much as I love playing Morph, my main goal for next year is just to have a few more active characters! Morph isn't suited for everything and there's other characters I'm excited to try out anyway

I'm going to app Apollo into Route 666 once applications open in January - it was between him and another character but doing a canon review reminded me how much I like playing Apollo ; 3;

the other character I had been considering is Ron Kamonohashi - I have a journal for him and some icons set up but I'll probably tackle making that one pretty whenever I feel like I have the extra time to dedicate to it. I also need a lot more voicetesting with him too

I do have a variety of older characters (and Ariel's really been tempting me into replaying Cyberpunk so my Takemura might resurface) but there's a couple of new ones I'm thinking about making journals for

characters I have journals for that I need icons/blurbs/bios: Garak and Bashir both (I'm doing a DS9 rewatch so those might be imminent)

but otherwise I was thinking about playing Rei and/or Edmond from Nu Carnival ... and yes these ARE characters from a BL game, and I the one shy about smut with strangers, but they have a lot of development outside of smut too

so I think those two would be fun for bakerstreet or if another sex-positive game pops up that looks appealing to me, I probably wouldn't try to put either one in a regular game just because of what they're from lol

but Rei is this mysterious magical researcher and Edmond is a beautiful but prissy and shy guardsman, so they are two different flavors for sure

put one of them to sexpi

lkjglk the problem is that in Nu Carnival regulating 'magical essence' happens though physical contact but it's best done through sex lmao

I'm not sure that either of those characters can actually cast magic themselves though

they just need to find a hand holding pair.

tempting..... I'll think about it after I have journals and can voicetest these characters some

off the records.. if it's the smut you're worried. I swear I have written more smut in expi than i have in any other game (and I was in sex game for 6 months)

hrm how to put it.... I do badly in sex games unless I smut with friends because I'm nervous/slow around strangers basically, if it's people I know I'm more chill about it

yeah that makes sense!

so smut happening in a non-smut game is fine with me because it usually means there was a build up

I am p. much the same

I still dig sex-encouraged games as long as sex AC isn't required, but idk how many of those are around anymore

plus it helps that the Nu Carnival guys can get along fine without sex (I think - Rei has some sort of magical chronic pain and he might manage it with essense regulation idk yet)
