that's on the same level of "eh" to me tbh. i don't find the concept of any canon characters being in a destiny game very appealing, but my thirst is strong enough that i'd play in it anyway.

i'm probably sounding too stuck up about a game like destiny of all things but it getting the typical "you wake up in a mysterious place and don't know how you got there and you can't leave" treatment isn't appealing to me. between AUs and OUs, i'd rather go with AUs if i had to choose.

that said like you anon i'd prob play in a destiny game regardless of which kind of characters are allowed in.

would it change your mind if the arrival mechanic was more like this: http://rpanons.dreamwidth.org/63496.html?thread=196723720#cmt196723720

or are you just set on au only

i'm not really a fan of the "your character chooses to come to the game on their own" approach just because for a lot of my characters there isn't really a good canon point for that, but i do think that would work better than the character just waking up in the middle of russia. maybe they found an old vex gate and accidentally reactivated it somehow?

like i said tho i'd probably app regardless of whoever ran the game decided to do.

Yeah it's obvious that my interests sit squarely in OU characters being ported in by one mechanic or another, but on thinking about AU I'd worry about it making things too inaccessible for people not familiar with Destiny. Letting characters and players learn about the world through playing in the game is easier than expecting them to read up on it all enough to build an AU application. I mean, if I was running it I would definitely allow Destiny OCs as well, but OU ports seems like the strongest way to have it as a game in general.

A Destiny bud brought up the fact that this universe is incredibly dangerous for random people being sucked in. Could one just make a game where OU ports were brought in by Ghosts to fit the standards of a Guardian? Would that even make sense?

i think i understand what you're saying and i wish it could be like that but i feel like it wouldn't fly with a lot of potential appers? imo the ideal would be no characters under 18 and only ones who know how to fight, though i know that's pretty harsh for a dwrp game.

If it went the volunteer route then characters would probably have some idea they were being brought to help and how difficult it might be for them. Otherwise I think the format of the game and how it would translate allows room for characters to learn to be decent Guardians. We all start out at level 1 and work our way up to 40, after all, and I imagine from the popularity of similar elements in CDC and Eachdraidh that that progression would be a core interest for players in the game.

I would personally put in an age limit for characters though. Probably 16 rather than 18 just to remove the chance of smaller children trying to get around, but still allow for teen drama/shounen types who probably would adapt just fine.
