+ 1 Clumsy Chosen

[angelolatry]

Hi everyone!

So, I'm Caprica, new to Avalon in figuring it might be a good choice for a second game for something lighter than my other (horror) game. I'm bringing in this little Angel bundle of sunshine and Friendship, Colette Brunel of Tales of Symphonia! She's coming in from the first game basically just as she figures that Final Seal, for those familiar. So decently early canon. She will be very ????!!! at being able to do things like talk, feel things (pain, heat, cold), taste or sleep again because Angel transformations are So Fun like that, guys! No really. (Because of this, I will be starting fresh with her and not figuring continuing the stuff from the test drive, given she can speak and such.)

Basically, for those unfamiliar, Colette is a girl basically brought up as a Sacrifice for the good of Sylvarant to go on a Journey to restore her world's mana supply. She doesn't know the ulterior motives with this regarding it actually being a whole plot regarding the villain and I don't want to spoil anyone who might be in the process of playing through it. But yeah she goes on this whole Journey and prays at these five Seals where the Angels grant her more of their powers/take away more and more of her humanity in the process and this is why she has self esteem issues. Because she has been raised to believe everyone else's lives are worth more than hers. That it is acceptable and expected that she go on this journey and die/sacrifice herself as a result. She will apologize even if it is not her fault. She will always do this little giggle when she lies. She will befriend anyone (including......ninja sent to assassinate her......) and is the most Oblivious ever regarding more explicit stuff that just goes straight over her head. She's obviously got her issues (like not celebrating her birthday as her birthday but more a Church thing for the town she lived in to be yay one year closer to the Chosen going on her Journey!) but she is generally the sort to have a smile on her face for everyone else's sake. Because Everything Is Fine, guys. Really!

She's coming in with a Protozoan as her Familiar (no, not Noishe. :( she wishes. idk if she will end up calling it that just assuming it is or not because Noishe is kinda unique lol) but lbr she will name and love it because Doggo! (It is not in fact actually really a dog......) and she has Light Magic here. She probably will mess up said magic on occasion too.

For those familiar, her Cruxis Crystal is nerfed, hence the speaking/sleeping etc again, and she won't have access to her wings as a result. Or her techs from home, obviously. She's coming in with her chakrams and some gels (apple ones will work, not the orange gels here.) and the necklace Lloyd gives her.

If anyone wants to add me, I'm over on Plurk @ caprican.

CAAAAPRICAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

[fullgauntlet]

Caprica! I'm so excited to share a game with you again and to have CR with Izuku and Colette! They're going to be such cute friends!

[itsmypower]

Ah... I remember her (and really need to finish ToS, still)! Apple gels are good idea!

[angelolatry]

idk I've just been all nostalgic in missing playing from Disney/Tales of. So. Yeah. Colette was apparently the choice to throw at in trying Avalon I guess. I do recommend finishing it though! idk how spoiler free you are given how old it is now but it is a good game with a solid story, if more dated in terms of the gameplay compared to the more recent entries for Tales, obviously.

But yes the apple gels will work for healing! (....Colette will need them. Not necessarily from fighting but prob from her being a klutz and tripping into something knowing her.....)

[angelolatry]

In a game together again! Yes! They will be the cutest. (Just. Nobody encourage their reckless selflessness in regards to considering others more important than themselves. Please.)

[angelolatry]

Jax! Blondes unite!

[itsmypower]

Somehow, I'm spoiler free? But I don't mind spoilers either! Though I'll definitely finish it, so I hope to see her around!

[beautyrest]

Blondes have the most fun~

[angelolatry]

I hope you remain that way then until you get through it! I've taken Colette from a decently early canon point at least so hopefully I won't spoil anything for you. If I do update her it'll prob be a while off since her Crystal is nerfed anyway so she can already sleep/taste/feel/talk again anyway. Which would be the main reason I might be quicker on updating her otherwise really. And it isn't like I have cast to worry about canon points aligning or not.

[corpsewarblade]

Colettteeee I love her, very happy to see her.

Also hi Caprica, I'm Amy, nice to meet you!

[angelolatry]

I haven't had her in a game in years so prob a little rusty but. I missed playing her!

Likewise, Amy! Even if I may be canonblind to yours.

[corpsewarblade]

She's a sweetie.

Makes me want to drag my Zelos in even if she (probably?) wouldn't recognise him from her canonpoint.

[angelolatry]

Aw, thanks!

But ah, no, she wouldn't. She knows of him from Sheena talking about him but I pulled her from prior to their going to Tethe'alla where she actually gets to meet him and all (along with meeting Presea and Regal). So she wouldn't recognize him yet but she would quickly clue in on who he is at least. Eventually I might update her to later in the game. I just figured earlier canon point for now is easier to refresh with haha.

Spoiler warning in here

[corpsewarblade]

That makes sense! I tend to take him from the Kratos ending because I'm awful so he puts his fingers in his ears and resolutely ignores anything from home, so could be very awkward.

But yes early canon point definitely makes it easier to refresh!

Re: Spoiler warning in here

[angelolatry]

Ooooooh yeah that. That could be interesting, definitely. Given the differing canon points and such and the differences there with regards to the ending playing out.

I would refresh with the ova but it, as eyecandy as it is because Ufotable it is not the most accurate. So I've been going back over the manga scans I have saved.
