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.
