A highly interpretive version of Harleen Quinzel (possibly pre-origins story)

Tifa Lockhart after disk 3 of FFVII. (I like her but am not afraid to ruin her, she's easy to fit into various settings, easy to figure out relationships with others, and there is another FFVII character there)

Nakira (original character... Possibly his AU version because I do want to develop him more)

I want to so badly say Agrias Oaks, Ramza Beoulve, or Delita Hyral... But I really am afraid to fuck up while playing them

Of the three of them, it would probably be Agrias that I would be the most comfortable playing... Especially if possibly sexual situations arise, because she's the only one that I would be comfortable expanding

on from her original canon. (even though I like to think that she genuinely loves Ovelia...)

Narrowed it down to Tifa, Agrias, or Nakira.

I would like to play Harleen, but I'm afraid my version might not be accepted/liked.

Narrowed it down to Tifa or Nakira... Because I think Tifa has mpre potential with character interaction.... Also I already have an application for her that I can modify.

So now... Should I play an original character or a character from another canon which is not my own?

Benefits of playing Nakira : I can't fuck up his interpretation. It would be interesting to see him develop in this environment. I miss playing him.

Difficulties of playing Nakira : He.... doesn't approach people on his own. And that can be hard when playing an original character....

Also... Interesting repression of sexuality and sex drive may be interesting (to me), but that being a big part of his character, he would have to develop an attraction to someone(s) in order for others to find

him as having really much of a character, I think... Maybe?

He has other character traits, but I think that's where most of his "depth" is... That and his judgmentalism while trying to be good/right/nice/friendly

Benefits of playing Tifa : I like her as a character, but not so much that I feel like I'm going to make a mistake in characterization, ruin her, and then feel bad about it...

At the same time I think she has an enormous amount of emotional depth and emotional intelligence that can be explored/interpreted/developed in various circumstances, and that makes her an interesting character

Her emotional conflics are easy to understand and convey... And I think she'd be an easy character to adapt to many different situations.

There is also already a Sephiroth player, so I feel like I have a foot in the door. Also, no Cloud player, which I think is a good thing! It would really help me explore her character without diluting it by how

she expresses herself or chooses not to express herself when around Cloud.

Difficulties of playing Tifa : Still somewhat afraid to play / uncomfortable with playing a character that is not my own

Insecurities and feeling like I am going to totally fuck up. I don't think this is a very legitimate reason to find this difficult.

Narrowed it down : Tifa. At least to start. Until I get comfortable again / get a feel for DreamWidth RP and feel like I know how to start with Naki. What do you guys think??
