So I'm currently undertaking the project of rewriting Winter (the destruction of Salcester) as a solo-fic (since everybody present is either inactive, has boxed the involved characters, or is Choobs), written up to modern standards. I'm kinda figuring out who to have in the cast though, since we had a lot of dead weight then (Gary had three of his characters show up for a scene or two and do nothing, SV purged her cast members involved in the event with fire) So I'm kinda debating on who to include. Tentatively, I'm going with two five man bands:
Cherrygrove:
Leader: Zebedee
Lancer: Natalie
Chick: Karine
Smart Guy: Ender
No real big guy, but this is technically Thyra's introduction, so she'd be the team kid/sixth ranger.
Summoners:
Leader: Miko
Lancer: Haze
Chick: Tsubota
Smart Guy: And here's my issue. I think I need another Summoner. Thyra and Tsubota don't have combat roles in the plot, so I need somebody to provide another combatant. And it gets tricky... I don't want to use Joseph, Illiana and Yoshimitsu were established as being somewhere else at the time... *shrug* Anybody know any good characters for this spot?
Big Guy: Cobra
I've already got quite a bit of it written in my head. It's a pretty easy guideline to follow, and it lends itself to lots of drama. I will warn you any characters showing up in Cherrygrove will be depicted... more realistically as being their age than we did at the time. After all, you've got what's functionally a handful of junior high kids. It'll be fun trying to depict them as both heroic but also dorky and way out of their depth.
But yeah, any characters I should be willing to work in or at least drop hints towards? I'm thinking it'd make sense if Miko got his info leading to the attack from Yoon- Before Salcester, he was just a thug power acting like he was big stuff, so I doubt Yoon would have had any compunctions about telling him she'd heard that the military was beginning to fortify Salcester.
Is there anything else I'm overlooking?
