Yeah, people, myself included, would prefer to use their own characters.
Those options would work. I assume for point 2 that the new male would be assumed to be a brother in place of the other lost male.
But how would a back-up in an RP like this work? It's not like you can just kill someone off and have someone else take their position in an arranged marriage that was arranged by a man who is now dead.
I know that number sounds like a lot. I just feel like that's the ratio that was suggested at the beginning of the anime. 6 sounds more realistic, though.
For an RP set in a universe like AoT to be successful, roleplayers should be reminded that titans are real monsters to humanity. If I recall correctly, it took on average 100 humans to kill a single titan? Engagements against titans in this RP should be terrifying to our characters. We're not...
Likewise, @Salty.
@Sunkissed, I was just pointing out that of the 6 characters currently submitted, 3 of them apparently have a good understanding of human behaviour and are able to read into people's emotions and such.
