I talked with Wriggle about it, and he says that he has no characters that he wants to be in the arc... Sorry dude.
Taokaka might be one of the few characters that can mess with people. Her almost insane, and bipolar personality combined with her skill can actually make her a threat to someone like Reaper. I know I'm not in the right place to say this as Taokaka is Jasmine's character, but Reaper might need to really be careful with the warrior from the Kaka Tribe. He's going to need more than just to prepare for her.
Then again if I recall... Taokaka falls prey to things that cats get distracted by (like balls of yarn, fish, catnip, and other things.) So it might be easier just to distract her with something like say a catnip toy, then while she is distracted Reaper does something else.
Also why do I picture Taokaka befriending Reaper!? I DON'T KNOW WHY! I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!!!
I think i'm sort of settled with Koishi being in it. Be interesting to see what Reaper would try against her. That, along with the fact that her emotions can be a bit.. muted.
Also stupid idea, but, this Reaper meets EG Reaper. Shenanigans ensue.
Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
I´m now wondering how this arc will be, if you are making an extensive plan for each listed character (which worries me due to different people´s thinking) I have to ask
How far have you planned this arc? did you already made the possible paths we could/would choose for the characters to follow like important decisions and similar things?
Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..
"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."
You see, I have been paying very close attention to how you guys RP, as well as the psyche of the characters. From that, I can make basic yet still accurate predictions on what the characters will do. (Granted, me telling you this might screw up the whole process, due to you guys now knowing how I planned the arc. Do not abuse this fact!!! 0-0)
I did all this, yet I still know that I won't be able to perfectly guess what you guys will do 100 percent of the time. It is for this reason why I left much of the planning vague yet defined. It sounds contradictory, but I made it so that multiple decisions could be made, such as using the environment to your advantage, persuading certain people, saving people, or even failing to save them. Not only that, I also planned alternate routes through the various missions, different ways they could be completed, and even added lore to both the arc, as well as the world. I still need to talk with you guys about this, but I also made backstory surrounding the Horizon Incident. I will only implement it after I get permission though. The arc is so in depth that a character can even access a terminal and there will be lore, info, or even messages between employees. Think of it like Fallout.
Even after all that, I am STILL coming up with stuff, such as backstories for some of my minor characters, and even how each person's story could affect others.
For example, character A finds information that could be beneficial for character B. It is then up to character A to either share or withold that information from character B. This choice then may or may not change events for character B, for better or worse.
There will also be times where one character's objective will intersect with another character's objective. They will then share that mission.
I'll be honest, it is very hard to come up with an arc. It is also quite a headache to try and account for everything, trying to carefully flesh out the world, but I am getting there. :p
@Mima
True. It would be interesting to see Koishi in the PALADIN Arc. As for how Reaper would try and demoralize her, he would most likely use the fact that she closed her eye, saying that she was a coward, and how despite the fact that she has friends, she is still alone, not in the physical sense, but in the psychological and emotional sense. After all, her eye may now be open, but that doesn't mean that her problems are over. Even now, she has been busy with The Inventory, and sure, she may have a couple friends that she plays cards with, but she has no close friends that she can completely open up to. On top of that, her own sister, her own family, has exiled her from her home and has disowned her, further driving in that spike separating her from others. I nay be wrong, but I am sure that it bothers her that her family drove her away, even if she does not admit it to others or herself. If I dare say, her eye is open, but her heart is still closed. :p
Did I get that right? If I got anything wrong, please tell me and I will correct it.
Also, yea, I would pay to see both Reapers interact. XD
@SUS
Can you say "crack pairing"? XD
Ok, that doesn't quite count as a pairing, but it is close enough for me to make that joke. :p
Anyway, I do think that Tao might catch him off guard, but I don't think that she would be able to go one-on-one with him. He is on the level of Big Boss when it comes to CQC. Of course, if she plays it smart, she might be able to slice into the weaker parts of his armor.
Also, about Wriggle, I thought he said that he wanted Yukari in it. I even planned half of her entire storyline. :confused:

I think we know what Reaper's Gag Reel (joke ending) would be if he was a BlazBlue character. :P
Well when I asked him about it, he said "No. God." He sounded highly annoyed, and I remember him saying something about you pestering him about it. Either way all I know is that he just said he doesn't want any of his characters in it when I asked him, and he did sound somewhat annoyed. That is all.
I hope it's not about the whole "alternate routes" thing. To be honest, it's really no different than normal RP. I am not restricting anyone to scenario A or B. They can do whatever they want. All I said was that I accounted for all possible decisions, then built a story around it. It's still just as free as it always has been, the arc is just extremely flexible. :(
Is he still there? I can't understand what's wrong unless I'm told.
