Okay, at some point we need to hack out a coherent roster list for the bad guys - and also come up with a name for 'em. I think Foxboy's been referring to them as the Republican Guard, but we miiiight not wanna keep that. Or do we? ![[Image: wink.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif)
But we've also gotta settle naming scheme and costume design for the hero-side kamen. If any. Do we want to standardise that?
Also, while we've filled out the entire list of initial magical girls as proposed by Valles, is there room for any more?
A friend of His Lovely Wife's (I think, anyway) was considering joining our little group. We were discussing whether they'd have to create a kamen or hanger-on, or whether they could still make one of the girls.
And I believe there is space. Granted, each of the girls needs to represent a sufficiently large universal concept - but there's a couple of gaps I can think of.
Sara of the Earth was rolled as a Plant/Fire Dominator...well, that's the concept of Earth as Gaea, the embodiment of nature and living things.
But how about simply the ground itself? You know, the solid stuff we all stand on. Rocks, stones...I think we've still got room for an "of the Stone" or "of the Sands". An Earth Controller or Stone Tank. The latter preferable, of course, since we're so squishy-heavy right now.
I think we could also swing an "of the Light"...a Peacebringer, Eng/Eng Blaster, Eng/Inv Tanker, or Ill/Kin Controller, Kin/Eng Defender...something like that, anyway. It overlaps somewhat with Stars, but no worse than the overlap between Storms and Thunder.
On the subject of the Kamens... I'm thinking they should be mostly Scrappers and Tanks, to balance out the ATs. Since, right now, among the girls there's only one scrapper. And I think it makes sense for the Kamens to be up front like that, providing the melee line.
The way I envisioned 'em...well, to me, it'd be ideal if the Kamens used the weapon sets, in contrast to the strong elemental power and "energy blast" focus of the girls.
IE, Axe and Mace Tanks, Claws, Katana, and Broadsword Scrappers. Super Strength and Martial Arts could work as well. That ain't to say that the other sets couldn't work...you could pretend Spines are roses or something...
