OOC DISCUSSION MEME;
Save the Earth requires a good deal of thought to apply into. Because of this, it can't hurt to get some input into your ideas or to get some idea of how other players will feel about them.
This post is exactly for that. Think of it as a creativity workshop where there are no stupid questions, bad ideas can get weeded out and good ones can get fed properly. However, this space is for constructive criticism only. Please remain mindful of that.
How it Works:
Put forward your idea for a character you wish to apply. Point out the parts you like most, the holes you want help with, the parts where you can't seem to make up your mind either way. Consider what sort of goals you'd like to achieve in the game, why you think the character is a good fit and what sort of roles they'll be able to fulfil. Don't be afraid to let it all If you have an app in progress, you might want to link to it. Similarly, linking to a resource to let others know the preincarnated character better might be a good idea.
Then, discuss with others! Hopefully you'll be able to make your vision more complete and understand the game better. Potentially you could formulate future CR or even pre-game CR.

Now, since we already have a fair few villainous characters (and I'm playing Shendu for lords sake) but what I want to do is have him be the kindest, sweetest, shyest guy you can imagine in his reincarnation and kind of a tragic little man who would probably never have any friends or even leave the house if it wasn't for this whole crisis. Possibly one who, thanks to getting a spattering of very effective powers as his early Echoes, kind of has to get into danger for the sake of others. I really like the degree to which he would really be struggling to try and pretend to be a hero, actually being a coward and slowly developing into an absolute monster with apocalyptic desires. And if he has himself some real friends by that point, getting afraid of receiving more Echoes.
A bit of a concern of mine is that, as a shy and cowardly as he would be he'd need people to prod and coddle him now and then. I can imagine it'd be a bit of a pain for others.
H O W E V E R I am currently caught between that idea and having him already be evil. Specifically, an as yet uncaught serial killer. Instead of being the sweet guy who really shouldn't have to do this sort of stuff, he'd be a natural at it the messy side and probably it'd be really unnerving to know him. I kind of like the idea of him being sort of barely tolerated by most people because no one likes Asura. Especially those law and order types we have around. Problem with that is... well, no one would want him around ICly. I might try to balance it out by having him basically be his cool persona without any of the terror and attempt to make him be weirdly charismatic for it.
I dunno. Thoughts? Hit me.

IDK this probably isn't all that helpful but I wanted to at least support this idea! I'm mostly canon blind but I really like the character concept. If I had to pick one version, I'd pick the first option (since...yeah, I love characters like that, lol) but I think both would be fun to have around!
