wwwwhhhhoooo

Riiiight, because ova Mihoshi (if I’m not presuming too much) is leaps and bounds above Universe Mihoshi in terms of competence and intellect. 😉

Yeah, yeah, I’m a Ryoko fan boy, and yeah I think I’d like a Tenchi + Ryoko pairing the best, sure (though at times, in certain continuities, I don’t think he’s good enough for her). But yeah, if we’re just picking “which one should I write about?” I’m sure Ryoko and Ayeka have been done plenty of times. Mihoshi or Washu would be excellent because comparatively they’ve been underrepresented.

That’s for “equalizing” things for Miho or Washu fans, and it’s not that I would mind it, but those two aren’t head over heels for Tenchi like Ryoko and Ayeka (Washu likes playing with him, like a “cougar” with its next meal, and Mihoshi it’s more of a young girls’ blooming crush). But who would I personally (even as a Ryoko fan) like to see? And has been comparatively underrepresented? And would likely be a good match for Tenchi? Kiyone Makibi.

Sure, she isn’t head over heels for Tenchi either, but it jives with her personality: she’s a serious type (obviously to be Mihoshi’s “straight man”), organized, not boorish or boisterous…very similar personality type to our leading man. Even though I’m not exactly “Team Kiyone” I could accept, and would even like to see, a pairing of the two (not that you have to, luther).

Right, I think we’re on the same page: I’m sure it’s much more clear in your own head, as the creator, than to anyone of us. So, when you say tell us the story, I’m thinking either an outline of the premise (a “pitch”), or treating us as any other reader/viewer, and as I said, using your character(s) and what they go through as the catalyst through which your world unfolds.

[obviously this is just an example as I am unfamiliar with your work but] say for example your protagonist is admitted into the academy for the first time: when he/she arrives, describe what it looks like with the various tools of storytelling at your disposal; if he/she, at a young age, is hearing about the academy for the first time, have him/her ask someone else (an elder, family member, etc.) about the academy so we learn as they do (think about when Kenshi arrives on Geminar, a world totally unknown to him–as he learns about Sacred Mechanoids and Aho, ultimately it’s a streamlined method to tell us viewers about Sacred Mechanoids/Aho, because upon first viewing it’s all new to everyone except Kajishima).

If, however, you just want to tell us about your concept or particular facets of it, you can really pick anywhere to start: perhaps, as you’ve already begun, explaining how the world itself works, how are its laws of physics similar/different from our own world? define and describe unfamiliar words and concepts, then maybe work up to characters and their roles in their world. It’s up to you what/how much you want to divulge.

p.s. before I forget to say it, good luck with your ideas, I hope you see them to fruition in some form at some point.

I’m guessing clones, but there’s also the angle Dagon mentioned, “the child of Ryo-Ohki” but in that context specifically, the Phoenix aspect implies rebirth, as in not so much offspring as replacement.

I really hope it’s not actually Ryo-Ohki’s offspring with someone…I know she can take humanoid form, but that’d be just weird.
