Hello! I was wondering about apping a character here potentially, but I have a few questions first!
The character I'm thinking of playing is Riyo from Gachiakuta. However, since the series is still reasonably new (with around 60 chapters out currently), we still don't have all the information on her backstory. We did recently learn (warning for spoilers here!) that she used to be an assassin who is now trying not to kill, (end spoilers) but I wasn't sure if she counted as a "headcanon-heavy" character and therefore was unsure if she'd be appable or not. She has a fully established personality, it's just the details of her backstory that are missing, though there's enough to infer quite a few details about her life at least. Of course, since I'd be creating an AU backstory for her, I wasn't sure if that made a difference??
I'm also not too sure what counts as "too dark" for an AU backstory. Since Riyo used to kill people in canon, I was hoping to carry that over or something similar to her backstory here as well, but I'd want to check first if that's too much for this particular game. If so, I'd be more than happy to make adjustments as needed, but I thought I'd check first!
My last question (sorry) is about the AU nature of the game - I haven't written in a AU game before so I'm slightly unfamiliar with how they work. I saw on the FAQ page that the game doesn't accept player-created AUs, but I don't really understand how that works in an AU game?? I might be misunderstanding something simple, so I apologize in advance for that!
Thank you so much! If Riyo isn't appable, I completely understand, I just thought it was at least worth asking. I'm happy to answer any questions or give more details if needed!
spoilers for gachiakuta in the comment, sorry!
