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.

One is Loki, from the Eddas/myths. Would have his reincarnation be a woman of about 25 who desperately wants to be famous. What for, she's not sure, but she knows she wants to be a STAR. Unfortunately, she has no potential, and only mediocre talent. At anything. She works as a stagehand at Locke City's big movie studio because if she can't be in the movies yet she can at least be in the business, right?
She has no patience to be a writer, no dedication to train her voice to be a singer, no talent for delivering lines, and terrible luck.
I'm not sure where her echoes/development would take her yet. I'd wait and see in-game. But I do know that she has the potential to be very dangerous -- if she realizes that she'll never be famous legitimately, she will settle for infamy, and would become a high-profile murderer or possibly a terrorist. Because at least then people would know her name, right?
Thoughts? I need to work on incorporating what her memories of the myths will do to her, because her initial thoughts will be "god dammit I don't want to go crazy / who cares about Norse mythology." But it'll definitely add to her drive to make herself known, and she'll become more and more willing to do underhanded things to get what she wants.
Also flying shoes.
Second option is Kay Curtis, an OC. In his canon he's a brash, loud, violent teenage werewolf with a couple of murders under his belt. He's his own worst enemy, a huge mess of instincts and conflicting desires and pride and addiction and a need for friends. Here, I'd make him a comparatively well-adjusted coder/hacker who has a problem with escaping into video games, quiet but still proud and competitive, the kind of guy whose anger burns cold and will get you back a week later. Viciously. But if you make friends with him/ping him as someone to protect, he'll go to the ends of the earth for you.
Basically his development would be
"suddenly I have an explosive temper??"
"suddenly I'm ripped??"
"suddenly I want to kiss everyone???"
"WHY DID I PUNCH THAT GUY THAT WAS DUMB"
"aaaaaaugh"
Thoughts? Got a preference re: which character you'd rather see?
