Alright, here's a new poll for everyone. Next chapter will be out before Christmas. I've had a lot of you send in requests for possible children so I wanted to share my ideas for everyone. Below I'll list out all of the ideas that have been given to me, and any possible story ideas I've come up with for them. If they are blank then I currently have no ideas in mind for them, and am open to possible suggestions. My profile page will have a poll for you guys to go and pick your favorites. Now, I wont just be doing the ones that get the most votes on the poll and they wont be done sooner, but I can assure you that I will plan around them. So if you want me to start setting up the story for these encounters, please go ahead and vote.
Also please note that I'm not doing this poll just to decide on the children, as I've established earlier, not all of Riley's kids live in the past, some she'll meet in the present or may have yet to be even born, and not all of these children have to be ones rescued. These can be kids that she has in this universe as well. I intend to use this poll as a model to help me know what I should begin setting up at this point in the story. I enjoyed Bioshock but those two were very self contained and I didn't really need much set-up for it to be believable that they could exist in this universe, other things aren't so easy. Like I couldn't use DBZ because I would need to explain how a dog became King of the world, why Dinosaurs are alive and all of that good shit. It would fundamentally break the story, however if I wanted to add in something from say Resident Evil, that is a helluva lot easier since the story has focused anywhere really beside Britain and the Elemental nations, and even then it's mostly been magical Britain so I have room to expand. So I'll be using this poll to set up further stories.
I wont say that every character on this list is going to be in the story because some of their presences I can fit into my story, but they fundamentally push other's out. Like if I add in a character from DC, and intro the Justice League, I wouldn't want to add in a character from the Avengers as it would bring up the question of why the fuck do these two groups exist and why don't they just become one? So please help me out here tell me what you think, review on other ideas and feel free to offer suggestions for ideas that I haven't focused on.
People always say that it's best to write for yourself and not your audience, and while I agree, Riley as a character is someone who wouldn't be contained to just one universe, with her level of magical power I could easily end this story and have her appear in another universe. It's because of that, that I want to leave the avenue open for evolution, so please tell me what you think.
Mothers:
Fleur-
Rin, Inuyasha, It could be use as an explanation for why Sesshomaru cares for her so much, as she is technically his half aunt, if I also incorporated another idea further down the list.
Dante and Vergil, DMC, I'd definitely be altering their back stories a bunch and I may or may not do a larger crossover with some of the main bad guys from that series. I don't have plans on breaking my universe.
Albedo, Overlord, Never seen Overlord, and don't know much about it. No real story ideas right now.
Miria, Claymore, I was given a brilliant idea by one of my readers about setting some of the events of Claymore during the time of the Hundred years war, The island nations where the events took place is hidden by magic like the Elemental nations, The idea goes that Riley and Fleur venture back and meet with their daughter. Riley help Miria push past her limits because she's already a natural born Half Demon and will have no reason to fear awakening. This would unlock her dormant demonic blood and her magic that the organization blocked with their experiments. Riley then uses her powers to help purge or absorb the taint from the rest of the Claymores and turn them into True Half-Demons, making it so that they never fear turning into awakened. And long story short, since the Claymore's will be immortal half demons, they'll live to meet Riley in the future where they can become part of the Legion. It was a really awesome idea, and I really do plan on using it.
Katie-
Natasha Romanova, Avengers, No idea currently but I will have to plan around Loki's involvement as I'd have only the movies to base her off of.
Alex Mercer, Prototype, I definitely plan on doing a bit of a crossover with Resident Evil, so Prototype wont be that difficult as I can just alter Blackwatch to Umbrella, or at least acknowledge that they both exist.
Kratos, God of War, No idea currently but the reason I put him under Katie will make much more sense as the story progresses, I plan on all of Riley's mates rising in level and becoming strong enough to stand on their own two feet.
Achilles, Troy, I know he's also in Nasuverse but I haven't seen him and like the subtle otherwordlyness of his power in the movies. He's just that good, he can't be hit, and that will fit in line with a future I have planned for Katie's development as well.
Sakura Matou, Fate/Stay Night, During the events of the Grail war, Riley and Arturia go to destroy the grail, while there Riley meets Sakura and for those of you that know just what was done to her, all hell breaks loose.
Luna-
Alice, Madness Returns, Someone suggested that I could use Alice in Wonderland and have Wonderland be some form of Occlumency or like an illusionary world that Alice is trapped in. Hell maybe it could be a recreation of Alice's view of her mother's mind, maybe Wonderland is actually how she thinks Luna views the world. Again Food for thought, let me know.
Daphne-
Raven, Teen Titans, My only real idea here is that Trigon stole Raven from the woman who rescued Raven as an infant and raised her. Of course this would also bring in the DC universe, and if so I would most likely make the Justice League antagonists of sorts, since I cannot see them siding with Riley often, considering her tendency to just straight up slaughter people.
Alessa, Silent Hill, No real ideas yet, just another idea.
Sebastian, Black Butler, No real ideas yet, but I have actually seen Black Butler so I could think of something.
Gilgamesh, Fate/Stay Night, even writing this I find the idea to be utterly hilarious. No idea's up front but I find it incredibly amusing to thing about.
Elsa, Frozen, Now before you start laughing, here me out here, if you think about it, the story of Frozen is actually pretty dark, you just remove the coat of Disney paint on everything and you have a very different story. Just imagine that Snow golem it it was made of razor shard sheets of ice instead… No real story ideas up front yet.
Bobby Drake, Iceman, X-men, No real story as of yet.
Rogue, X-men, Her ability to absorb peoples powers stems from Daphne's ability to manipulate energy.
Haku, Naruto, She's been killed in my story, as I did say that Naruko fought with Zabuza and her so I assume events went the same. I can see them meeting when Obito resurrects dead shinobi for the 4th great ninja war.
Albert Wekser, Resident Evil, Riley meets Wesker right at the end of the mansion incident when he gets stabbed. His demon blood activates in order to protect himself from death and the tyrant. At that point he was still a man searching for answers and while evil, he wasn't nearly as crazy as he was in RE5.
Kaede-
Kerrigan, Star Craft, No story yet, just another idea, would be a long way off.
Koneko, Highschool DxD, Seen a few episodes, and I've had a few people ask If I'd do a crossover with it.
Alam Wade FEAR, I have two ideas for this one, A. Riley and Lucy go back in time and find her when she was a teenager and just impregnated with the first child, or B. They meet her in the present, after she's had Paxton Fettel and Point Man, and the story goes from there. Please offer you thoughts in a review on which you like more.
Jean Grey, X-men, Her Psyche powers stem from her vectors, and Riley's archdemon magic, and the Phoenix is actually Jean's Diclonius DNA voice like Lucy had.
Gaia-
Mara Jade, Star Wars, No idea currently, but this would take place far in the future of the story, but I do have aspirations of possibly writing a sequel down the line that follows Riley's adventures in the star wars universe.
Revy, Black Lagoon, No real ideas up front, and I've only ever heard of Black Lagoon.
Magneto, X-men, Meets during the events of X-men First class, where Riley and Gaia assist him in hunting down Shaw and avenging the woman who raised him.
Arturia-
Ezra Scarlet, Fairy Tail, No ideas currently, I have only seen a few parts of Fairy Tale.
Mordred, Nasuverse, Was the actual child of King Arthur and Riley but due to modifications Morganna made with her magic, and the fact that she's from the future, Arturia rejected her. I can see it being a real gut punch for Arturia to have the woman she rejected as her child, actually truly be her real child and not just a Homunculus made by Morganna. And add in the fact that to Arturia's knowledge, she killed Mordred. And thus killed the child she had with Riley. Again just an idea.
Medea, Fate/Stay Night, Someone thought it would add some pretty funny drama.
Joan of Arc, Nasuverse, Joan of Arc fought against Britain in her lifetime. I think it might be pretty funny to see how she reacts to learning her mother is actually kind Arthur.
Yugito-
Alice, Resident Evil Movies, No real ideas yet.
Logan, X-men movies, No real ideas yet.
Koneko and Kuroka, DxD, no real ideas yet.
Kitty Pride/Shadowcat, X-men, No real ideas as of yet.
Riley-
Doom Guy, Doom, No real story idea but he enjoys killing so much I just had to put him in here.
Inu No Taisho, Inuyasha, No story ideas, but I can see it happening, after all, Riley does have a true demon form too, which is a giant Fox, so I guess I can see it happening.
Cthulhu, Lovecraft, Some offered it as a suggestion and I did say that if Riley was the mother, they could be born as abominations.
Alien Queen, Aliens, See above.
Jenova, FF7, Riley is the mother of Jenova and is summoned to Gaia by Sephiroth in the distant future. Would be a long way off, or on another world, same time just a different planet as that doesn't brake any of the rules.
Ophis, DxD, No real ideas yet.
The Darkness, The Darkness, One of Riley's kids get's sent back to the moment of creation and essentially becomes the first Demon in this Timeline, and become the Darkness. Riley tracks it down and takes it from the Brotherhood after they try to take it from Jackie Estacado.
Unknown Possibilies:
-Altair, Someone suggested I do a small crossover with them, and have those with Assassin blood be Riley's descendants who developed Eagle Vision. Just an idea, food for thought.
-Someone suggested Characters from Dynasty Warriors like Lu Bu, or Guan Yu.
-Ruby Rose, RWBY, Never seen RWBY but I hear good things about it. Don't know what combination I would do.
-Fallout 4 protagonist, Just another idea I got.
-Sirens from Borderlands, but again that would be a long while off.
-The Warden from Dragon Age was suggested.
-Shalltear Bloodfallen, Overlord, This would be a difficult one as I have never seen Overlord, though someone did suggest that I try to make her in the image of the true daughter, like physically and personality wise, She is a clone and the real daughter was the base for her creation, or something of that nature.
Alright so there's the list I have now. Go ahead and vote, and feel free to critique or off suggestions. Not all of these character will be used as many of their stories would conflict with one another. This is just so I can see what you guys all think would work best or wanna see the most. So review, vote, and critique.
