Why is nobody playing these?

[Kuroji Setsu]

I mean
The point of writing is to challenge yourself and step into the shoes of a different person
And the chest think... Omniphysics >.>
Probably also depends on which Iron man you play

Now
Why do we have chaos emeralds without any somuc charaters? There are 40+ charters, including playable and major characters that only appeared in 1 game
Then there are the boom and Arctichie universe which adds even more, and all we've gotten is sonic, and everytime they are switched or disappear a couple weeks later

Let’s destroy the chaos emeralds. When else but now will we learn that having chaos emeralds has consequences?

I've heavily considered playing Rick Sanchez, if only because I think I'm decent enough at dialogue to pull it off. The whacky shenanigans are definitely something that I might struggle with long term.

Also OCs are best

[Schwi Dola]

I think the simple answer is this. Not all good video game, anime, comic, or what have you media characters translate well to the written medium. Even then, not all written characters translate well to an RP experience.

I'm also surprised we haven't had many Bleach characters. We've got an Orihime and had a Zangetsu for a minute, but I think that's it.

Serraph and Ash's new character Rose are both bleach OCs

Kenpachi!

It is surprising how many characters from prominent anime don't show up. These kind of RPGs are usually loaded with them.

I think they like to stick to their own canon forums. Because of the way the Omniverse is built, Canon characters don't have any guarantee that the other characters from that will be taken, which means they need to either wait for someone to take the character, make them an NPC, or try and find a suitable stand in if they want to do a character arc with other characters from the canon. It can be a bit daunting when they're used to only having one fandom at a time.

[Kuzuru]

Ohhh how could I forget Kenpachi???

On the same anime note where are all the JoJo characters? We had Dio, but he went the way of Pandatron. I want a good Avdol!

well, as a looser who falls in love super easely with the main character of whatever series i'm watching, which in turns inspires me to take them here, the very worldbuilding of the OV is a big turn off for those characters. From what i've experienced, most main characters are built around their canon, both in motivations, backstory, and overall context, which is what make those stories work. But in the Omniverse? Most of that falls apart. Suddenly, they don't have their pals anymore, their motivations barely work here, and everything they knew and worked for no longer aplies. Yeah, a character whose motivation boils dowm to "i want to help people!!!11!" will work here, but many of the intrincancies of their inner conflicts don't. Do they want to rescue/protect a loved one? They can just summon that person here with some spare time. Do they want to impress someone? You'll probably have to play that someone yourself, given the multifandom nature of the game. Do they want money? They're basically millonaries here. Do they want to be a master of whatever thing they value in their world? Suddenly, that thing is all but a little fragment of the world.

Villains and secondary characters don't tend to have these problems, as they're more focused on selfish objectives, particularly villains.

All of this on my experience of course. I tend to watch shounen anime and cartoons, and i'm a big sucker for cheesy goody-good main characters (just a few weeks ago i was seriusly considering entering as Boruto, of all characters.............). And as someone on my 4th character already, i can tell you.... those characters don't work for me. Maybe it's the case for other people here, who knows!

[Amaterasu]

Another canon I see no character of is Lord of the Rings :frog: I mean, we have Aragorn as a Site NPC, but there's such a wealth of characters to draw from here, from the original books, the Silmarillion (okay, maybe not that one, that's too general), the numerous games and everything else. Maybe the fellowship characters are not all that interesting, but what about Balrogs, the Nazgul (looking at you, Witch-king!) or Sauron himself? Or Talion, the protagonist from the Middle-Earth games.

Or even someone who wields a Ring of Power that is not a Lantern Ring. Anybody?

[Éowyn]

(though I haven't posted since march so I understand...)

[Harry Potter]

(though I haven't posted since march so I understand...)

Oh how the turntables have turned.

basically no one is playing the main protagonist from something a lot of people know.

[Amaterasu]

Hey, think of it this way: it's a canon worth mentioning because I think it's a very cool one with some very good characters :frogbon: Thus Éowyn is also a cool char!

[Kuroji Setsu]

Lord of the rings animated would be watchable if it was anime style, as opposed to Pixar. Pixar should do he hobbit though.

Éowyn, how is that pronounced?

Like it's spelled?

[Éowyn]

fair enough Potter!

I've always pronounced it Ay-o-win personally, which is mostly how its spelled?
