Just finished my setup for Moriya Shrine Revolution. In addition to Anonymous Succinct, this game will be Bastard Mod Role Madness, and has been checked over and approved by a reliable source that will, of course, remain Anonymous. Enjoy looking forward to that.
Rather than go for any one specific character theme, and because I can't be bothered to write up a list of selectable characters (especially when the Write-In option is so popular), I'm going to force the Write-In option on everyone. You can pick anyone you think you can roleplay. Doesn't matter if they're real or imaginary, doesn't matter if they're human or otherwise. The one rule I will enforce is a name rule: only characters with given names that start with S or family names that start with M will be selectable. Bonus points if you can get both at the same time, unless your choice is Stephanie Meyer, in which case I'll be forced to get Hina to curse you. (Make sure you know the difference between given name and family name: trying to get away with a choice like "Sonozaki Mion" won't fly.) I would also ask people not to select Touhou characters, just to get the creative juices flowing. I know my game is a ways off, but this just means you'll have plenty of time deciding who you want to be.
The setup can be easily modified for any number of players between 13 and 17. I'd rather not go below 13 if I can avoid it, but if I have to I will. 17 is a concrete upper cap.
