peach yes i'd be interested! i just finished skyward sword and loved it (it's such an emotional, romantic game, no one warned me!!). curious how you combine those worlds in your AU!
irene i'd also love a witch hat atelier RP! the anime is coming out soon, i wonder if that would drum up more interest? apart from the gorgeous art and world building, there are a few angles to RP from, so i wonder what a site would choose to focus on:
- the slice-of-life RP of learning to draw glyphs for low-grade magic and traveling with your mentor to help people, interacting with other classes from the central school (the underwater tower, i'm forgetting the name lol)
- the dramatic, large-scale secret that magic is usable by all but hoarded by the few/privileged (i think you'd need a decent amount of players playing commoners to drive home this tension)
- the political intrigue between the 'rebel' and 'orderly' witch factions. i like how the rebel faction in WHA isn't a simple evil, for example they want to use healing magic again but it's forbidden, creating a fun moral quandary to RP with.
not that it'd need it, but i wonder how a WHA RP would incorporate the glyph-based magic system in combat. it'd be pretty funny if you actually had players draw and post their glyphs in combat threads. like actually come up with their own designs to invent spells like Coco and her friends do in the story. i doubt it would be easy to manage but i'd unironically love that
