Revision as of 22:29, 26 September 2016

Hey guys. I've been thinking about how to de-poison Minako somewhat and also leave her somewhat less of a hot mess for future applicants. It'd basically require temping Minako (which I'd be happy to do), and having her tentatively ask for a senshi meeting to talk to all of them, and pass the holy sword to someone (most likely Makoto) for safekeeping/for use in protecting Usagi, while she officially goes off with Artemis to figure out what's still wrong with her head and put herself and her perceptions back together.

I really feel like this is necessary, since she's been open so long and is -- despite having been a trainwreck pre-D-point and a nonentity afterwards -- still a vital part of the story, and could in fact play her way into being a vital part of the team /if she were played/... but she's not, and the longer she stays the unplayed elephant in the room, the harder it's going to be to justify her long unaddressed absence as a new player.

I want to talk to all you guys about this and get your input, and try to come to a good compromise or provide a good enough explanation if anyone has concerns about handling her this way-- I just don't want the character to continue to have this much of a disservice done her.

So definitely, please discuss! I'm opening a wiki talkpage for the discussion so the board doesn't get spammed. It's at http://www.mahoumush.com/Talk:Mamoru_Chiba/Minako :)
