lesyayIT'S THAT TIME AGAIN... TIME TO RECRUIT PEOPLE FOR A TABLETOP!
Do you like over-the-top antics done by demons who are trying really hard to be evil and usually failing? Great! Strap right in, it's time for... DISGAEA VALOR.... 2!!
The pitch; the Netherworlds have long been connected through the NetheRail System, trains shooting through the space in between worlds to connect demons together in disharmony. When the legendary train, the Nether Express 666, is found abandoned in a train graveyard, a new crew of demons will set out aboard the rails to right wrongs, or do wrongs, or just wrong wrongs!! What you do from there is up to you!
This is a interest pitch slash recruitment post. A start date is looking almost a year out so this is just to get you ready, gauge interest, and shoot around character ideas.
Q & A !!
Q: Can we only play demons?
A: I'm down for running whatever tbh. Demon, human, prinny, angel; we can figure out whatever you want to do. That said, the cast shouldn't be ALL non-demons.
Q: Since this has a multi-netherworld setup, can I play an Overlord?
A: Yes. You'll need to think of a reason you're level 1 at the start though.
Q: I don't know anything about Disgaea!
A: That's not a question. But there are probably some setting conceits and tonal issues you'll run into without at least some familiarity. Go watch some cutscene videos and come back.
Q: I've never played Valor, which you didn't mention you're running the game in but I kind of figured?
A: You just added a question mark to make it a question!!! Anyway, that's fine. The original Disgaea Valor had some people new to the system, too. We'll help you through character creation and play when it comes time for that.
Q: What should I comment with?
A: Fill out the handy following form!
1. What name/alias do you go by?
2. What's your plurk username?
3. Character concept?
4. Anything you want to see in the game?
5. Gimme a funny meme.

3. Character concept?
Angel ideas:
Still vacillating on which way to go with this. My original idea was an angel who was raised by demons (who are basically the demon version of the 'irresponsible hippie parents' archetype beloved of a lot of manga) and is adamant that she's a demon. I feel like this overlaps Quinn's character concept a lot though, since the intent was that a lot of her... tension... was about constantly characterizing all her angelic better impulses as just being that rebellious a demon (cf. all of Raspberyl's 'delinquent' shtick in Disgaea 3). Probably on a quest to find/avenge said now-missing parents, but doesn't want to admit it and insists she just needs their corpses to collect their life insurance or something suitably callous like that.
For slightly less elaborate variations I was also considering the opposite case (angel who became a demon and is in denial about it) and the darker case (angel who convinced themselves they're a demon to deal with living in the netherworld. Might wind up in that overlord slot, sort of, though deluded about it of course).
And of course there's always the possibility of playing it straight. Wanders in to distribute alms to prinnies, accidentally starts a revolution, on the run.
4. Anything you want to see in the game?
Demon version of a Trolley Problem.
