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.

Here's my thinking.

You look at your character. She's familiar to you already, in her base state, right? So look at that, and come up with one major change. Probably something about her circumstances or personality in this case, rather than her abilities, since she's going to have to start somewhere around 'baseline human' and work her way toward whatever canon gives her.

Then you sit down and think. Think about the repercussions of the big change. For instance, if you were considering Harry Potter and you had him grow up as the son of the Prime Minister, rather than of dead wizards, what would that do to him? How would he (or she, in your case) be different because of that?

After that you can add extras - maybe the new version's allergic to peanuts, or walks with a limp from a broken leg when she was three, or something - but you probably don't have to. At this point you want to come up with enough of a backstory for the application (which doesn't take a whole lot).

(I should note, this is not the process I followed to get this guy, Fred - or not exactly. Fred is based on a different AU of Felix that I made years ago, who in turn did follow most of this.)

Very familiar, since I've played her fooor 2 years, and she's my main.

Hm...kind of makes sense, yes. I mean, it'd be a big change in a way just having her in a similar home enviroment (farm) but in the present day, where maybe she's worked hard, but nothing compared to her preincarnation, and she certainly hasn't had to fight for her life...
Hm, that could be interesting right there.

Also I love that you play Felix. He was my favorite GS character :)

also, not really applicable to this character, but how common is it for a character here to switch gender in their reincarnated form? Like the canon character is male, but the reincarnation is female?

Aw, thanks! I would not mind some canonmates at all, should you feel inclined. (I've kind of half-headcanoned that Fred took chemistry from a reincarnation of Menardi.) Wish I could say the same for Nephenee, but the only FEs I've played are Blazing Sword and Sacred Stones.

Ii'm possibly not the best person to ask, since I don't know a supermajority of the characters or canons here, but I think it's valid but uncommon? The only example I know of is Starscream, whom I understand to be technically genderless but generally considered male, but is a woman here.

She's Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn. LParchive.org has the games she's in LP'd, so it's pretty easy to get some stuff from that.

Man It's been forever since I played GS..I even bought number 3 but AHAHA I haven't played it near enough...I guess I should download the first two again (I have them just don't know where the cartridges are). That series was like one of the first I discovered by myself, and it was like the first game I remember playing on the GBA |D A special place in my heart indeed.
If I brought someone from there idk who it'd be...maybe Mia? Been long enough I'm not sure.
I spent so many hours questing for ultimate gear...:>
/goes to find those roms.

Mia's pretty awesome, even if she doesn't get a whole lot of lines. (He says, having a silent protagonist as his main.) I don't know how much Dark Dawn you've played, but I subscribe to the headcanon that she pretty much single-handedly protected Imil when it needed it. And yeah, same boat - I didn't buy a GBA until I could get Golden Sun along with it.

I didn't know about it when I got mine for my birthday, since the internet wasn't as big a thing back then. I just happened to come across it, and thought it looked cool. Same with Fire Emblem |D

Mia is like my second fave, tied with Piers.
I was a dork and always named Piers James cause I thought he looked like James from Pokemon /bricked
