That I ended up apping Claude at all was after a srs internal debate deciding that I couldn't app Ashton (from the same canon) in good conscience given his lack of backstory for memories. I thought about apping Rubedo or Nigredo as my character from the outset too, but that would've meant a whole lot of canon review I couldn't really do at the time (or haven't been to at all pretty much, x-xenosaga all your canon......).

During the course of the game I DID think about other apps, but not... a lot? I ENDED UP APPING KAZU, that was the biggest hitter. Others were smaller flames compared to him. Like Shion from No. 6, or DGM's Kanda at one long long ago point (SUPER GLAD I NEVER DID THAT HA HA), or even dropping Claude and apping Rena after Arbas petered out and I realized I actually did have fun playing her... good thing that didn't happen for real either '-'

Back at ya dad!

At one point when Ophi opened, I seriously considered apping Yuriev, and having him be a little ~helper~ to Surgeon. That never quite got off the ground, but!

I have considered a lot of my old camp characters, some more seriously then others, like Vlad from the Dragerian 'verse but a later timeline then Tazendria and Aerich, because he has Such Issues with dependency, killing as a necessity, and being the biggest asshole he can get away with at any given time. Castor I had a lot of fun playing with the concepts that would lead into play him for an amnesia game, and Sonken was appealing to me as the contrast of a noncombantant. None of them ever hit quite as strongly as Vlad and Kuchiha though, because they were the ones with the least surrounding issues to ratio of knowledge of their past to make them a blank.

Other characters that I put some serious thought for was Wolfboy (so I could make Nishi and whoever else I could con into it app Emma Bull characters with me, which is always one of my pie in the sky deals as I've never managed it personally or otherwise) and I did go through like, a protagonist a week before I apped Chaz because I knew I enjoyed playing Charlie but I wanted to play someone with a different set of issues. These included Prince Rodger, from the March Upcountry series (because the idea of him against raptors is p. canon) and Fringe characters (except they would have had a very similar to Charlie reaction to the judges, which was not what I was going for).

uhhm. What is the most useful thing Claude has learned from being in a cave?
