Leaning really hard into those "Silver Age Superhero" memes here. Photogenic, pure of heart, and monstrously powerful in universe. Much like such superheroes though, it doesn't give them the human connection that they actually want in life, and so they are obligated to maintain a sekrit identity that cannot be revealed lest it put the squishies at risk!

We even have our own quirky supervillain in the form of DOCTOR VER!

And I think he's enough of a weirdo that he'd actually buy into that.

The point is, you pretty much have to lean into some kind of meme to be an interesting Symphogear character. We've got Kung Fu Movie Girl, we've got Samurai Flick J-Pop Idol, we've got Hard Rock Literal Guns & Roses Girl as the base three alone!

Silver Age Superheroine fits like a glove

Pros of this plan:

- Nehushtan is such bullshit. Probably not as much bullshit as a Symphogear, but still bullshit and very versatile.

- Pretty Superheroine right outta the comics.

- Samantha Acampora is our equivalent of Commander Badass. She's not as good, but she's still crazy awesome and it'll be interesting to see what she's like when not a Horseman.

- We'll likely meet Serena and Maria, and hopefully might be able to save the lil sis. Not to mention Kirika and Shirabe.

Cons of this plan:

- Ver. He's a lunatic who's going to either go full LAST ACTION HERO and almost end the world, or go full LAST ACTION HERO but be actually a good guy, and there's no way to tell which.

- The American government has a poor track record in Symphogear to say the least. We'll probably have to be the voice of sanity when they pull shit like activating Doomsday. Aka the Relic that managed to KILL KAZANARI MOTHERFUCKING GENJURO. No really they actually were that stupid in that one XDU verse.
 
For reference on the relics and presumed powers:
Murakumo is more well known as Kusanagi, one of the Imperial Regalia of Japan. Old Man Kazanari's sword in XV, I haven't been able to track down its powers in 'Gear, but mythwise it manipulates wind.
Tsukuyomi is apparently more accurately Yasakani no Magatama of the Imperial Regalia? No clue on here, haven't been able to get any details on it from XDU.
Brisingamen is Freyja's necklace. Fire-based powers from what I heard.

Nehustan is the bronze serpent that Moses used to cure the Isrelites from snakebites. In Symphogear it gives high-level regen plus whips, but that trait's probably going to be lesser in a Gear because the Complete version is too effective.
Aigis is specifically the shield of Athena. Super defensive Relic, the combo with Shenshoujin in XDU is outright the strongest defence shown in Symphogear.
Hermes refers to said god's boots. SonicTheHedgehog.gear, gotta go fast.

Mjolnir, of course, is Thor's hammer. Thunder-related powers, actually used as a hammer.
Gleipnir is the ribbon that binds Fenrir. Supposedly does spacewarping shennanigans in 'Gear, but might be binding stuff here.
Kresnik is a type of shaman who fights vampires. I have absolutely no clue here, maybe Castlevania shennanigans.?

-waitasecond these are all the Relics used in XDU's Dual Relic 'Gears.

I'm interested in the Aigis myself, Athena's shield is no joke, and given how Symphogear has deep roots in the Wild Arms franchise, I choose to interpret this as going full Asgard.

"Asgard's primary strength is the shields he generates, he has the most powerful defenses of all of the Golems."

"He's very gentle though, so most people don't know that his ultimate defense is also an ultimate attack. The ability to disperse all forms of energy that interact with his barriers is fatal no matter what they're made up of when you can merely disperse all of their mass on contact"

I recognise all but Europe's non-GENOCIDE lot, are they fanfics too?
(All relics are ones from XDU, on the other hand, though obviously Murakamo and Nehustan showed in canon.)

Teufel is one of the relatively unimportant bit generals from chapter 17. Presumably Name is gonna develop him more here if Germany wins. Which then means I get to steal his characterization right back for some of the arcs I have planned for Distortions.

Jump to 7:25 to see the second cutscene that shows off what I mean about the offensive applications of a 'Perfect Defense'
 
I gotta say, I sorta do like your idea @Alectai, but I'm not entirely sold on the idea of it being a punchgirl. We already have a punchgirl in Hibiki, after all.

So what? The other two head scientists have issues too. We have Ryoko "Drives like crazy and is a walks the line of sexual harassment" Sakurai and Carol Malus "Looks like she should be twelve and has a hatred of mericles" Dienheim

I still need to work out the heads for my own quest's European Sacrist Research Association, because the introductory arc is in Europe. Worst comes to worst, engage in mutual stealing.:V

I suspect that's probably reserved for Superb Song/X-Drive, given powerlevels. Lesser applications maybe.

Egads, I've been figured out!

This AU might not even have Hibiki. And there's nothing wrong with having more than one punchgirl.

All three of the scientists are equally useful and crazy.
 
Join the maid of jealousy crew. We will be a very grumperson and it'll be either great or horrible, or neither if it doesn't win :V

Going to guess the pro's and cons.

Pro's
+ Be the ultimate right hand man
+ Constantly get better
+ Probably snarky as shit
+ Room for a lot of character development
+ You are the Dark Magical girl who needs to learn about the power of friendship
+ Possible space/time lockdown with Gleipnir (?)
+ I resisted making her Sakuya Izayoi

Con's
- Probably abrasive and petty
- You are the Dark Magical girl who needs to learn about the power of friendship
- Life is a Catch 22 (You are never satisfied)
- Seriously, you are not a happy person
- Meek/Fierce might manifest as outbursts of emotion instead
- Not Sakuya Izayoi

It doesn't need to be straight up punchgirl.

It's just... Silver age superheroine, hopefully with barrier powers. I like it you know?

I do to. Although I'm leaning more towards a shield girl at the moment for our armed gear. No, I'm not being influenced by wanting a more hotblooded and less boring Maple, why do you ask?

Alright, I'm sold.

Yeah, I doubt we'll get that level of screw you outside a Swan Song. And we preferably want to avoid that.
 
Yeah, to be fair though, a defensive focused Symphogear is still pretty good in anything but fighting against other Symphogear Adaptors, and while that will be a threat later.

Well...

We've got special forces genjuro-chan as our commander, we have tools to close that gap.

And yeah, the idea of getting a superhero Maple is pretty powerful.
 
Currently, the only plan with two votes is @Alectai , who has the plan for an American Superheroine right outta the Silver Age. My own plan, which currently has no other votes, goes to Germany as a heroic, honourable warrior who really needs some friends. Germany is presently the most popular start location, with the only plan elsewhere being Alectai's. No plan currently take place in Japan.

I'm not sure you are counting correctly, but we'll see this evening, when I count the votes and make the second character page.
 
Guys, if we want to go to Germany we should probably consolidate a little. We have five four plans for Germany, none of which have more than one vote.

Well, from what I can see, the one thing most of us have agreed on is Germany. That and the Heroic trait, which almost every plan has. By plan, though, the first place remains @Alectai .
 
[X] To Be A Hero

LAST ACTION HERO

Shame we can't get "that weird arm we found in Iraq back in Gulf I" as our gear, though.
 
[X] I'm bad at names
-[X] name: Sonata
-[X] Appearance 5
-[X] Germany
-[X] Heroic: Don't worry, citizens! The hero is here!
-[X] (Write-in) Musical: To you, music is more than just a tool that lets you fight, it's a way of expressing yourself and a solace from your lacking childhood. Perhaps someday you'll even get the chance to perform in front of others.
-[X] Friendship-Hungry: You are lonely, so lonely. All you want is a friend.

reasonings:
name - I'm not particularly tied to the name, but I like the idea of not having a family name due to being raised as a weapon for fighting Noise and not knowing our parents/ our superiors not seeing it as necessary.
appearance - I like this one the most, but could be pretty easily convinced to change to a different one if other people like it more
location - It's mostly Relic options (particularly Glepnir) + Carol here, though the German commanders also sound more interesting to me than the American ones
traits - you want to help people and also want to sing
flaw - what's a magical girl with excessive befriending? Making friends also gives people to sing for/with

Well, my vote is reserved for any one that is German, but here's what I originally was considering (as to not dilute the plans) - Heroic/Optimistic/Friendship-Hungry, the blonde haired one, hope for Gleipnir... And one of the first questions asked would likely be "is it possible to make the bindings of Gleipnir into a cannon?"

Yes. This makes a Mami Tomoe.

But considering the dilution of the plans, I'm saving the actual vote for a more decided plan.
