I also thought about Marian Hawke, but no matter how many times I've tried putting my Hawke through her paces, I find that I can't really enjoy playing her voice. She's just too pissed off of a dick, really.
I think I might have considered bringing in an entirely new character, had one of those failed. Someone who's past would engender internal conflict.
oh wait, duh, I get a question too. I'm bad at this apparently.

Who would you most want to get from Chloe's canon? (not from me, I should clarify, I'm generally a one-character person!)
no subject
[Ponders] I'm going to say Altena. It will never happen, but her mother figure interests me more in this setting than Kirika does, and without a Kirika, the Mireille dynamic is very awkward in this setting. They might simply avoid each other.
I'm also a little leery on Kirika apps as a rule. I got a light burn from the last one I dealt with, who sort of disappeared from DWRP entirely roughly a month after enabling me into a game I was never 100% comfortable with specifically for that CR. Got over it, but she's a tricky voice to keep up because of how emotionally dead she can be.
Hmmm, what do you like most about Larxene?
no subject
god why do I like this trash princess? I guess it comes down to her being fun- unapologetically no-fucks-given terrible, but in a way that's entertaining to watch and to play.
One more: what's something you really hope to get to do with Chloe in this game?
no subject
As for hope to do: Something I never got to address in what I would consider a natural state in Amat (due to the rampant sex events and mind-fuckery involved with some of them) was a relatively sane and normal Chloe coping with the question, deep down, of whether or not Altena was someone worthy of her obedience, whether she was right to be the person she was, or if there was an alternative.
I think this is a better setting for that than Amat proved to be. For obvious reasons I imagine.

This will probably come into play when she starts seeing 'what' she did to Kirika at points or one of her kills (that isn't themselves clearly awful)
Anything in particular you're looking forward to with Jason's?

As such, my character list includes Equius Zahhak (hardly a hero), Reaver (Scum, absolute scum), Chloe, Millia Rage (Noble-hearted, but still an assassin with a lot of blood on her hair... hands), Rei Ayanami (A hero, yes, but at times Lillith's influence doesn't make that so clear cut, especially towards the end), Koishi Komeiji (No matter how nice she seems, the girl's an end boss for a reason), Kin Tsuchi from Naruto (Chloe, younger, and less redeemable), and Zaeed Massani from Mass Effect (who's basically hired merc muscle and doesn't bother redeeming himself). So, I play a lot of characters that are ... sketchy at best. My OCs are usually pretty sketchy, though I don't play them on DWRP anymore, other than in memes.
So, since she fell into the type, I think what it was that drew her to me was that I wanted an antagonist who was on some level a little redeemable, manipulative and largely amoral without being overtly RAWR EBIL! Someone who could act on their own self-centered or obsessive whims without a shred of hesitation, but who I could also play as a fairly normal person when their abnormal behavior wasn't triggered by the scene. Chloe suited this and had some more unusual traits usually not found in a deuterotagonist that lasted almost the entire series. They were usually found in short-run characters, dead within 1-4 episode arcs, giving a lot more to go on. She was amoral, or obeyed a very strict set of guidelines from her handler, insanely loyal to two people and capable of nearly anything in achieving her goals. She was bold, utterly fearless and unconcerned of people's reactions to her behavior and a bit brazen, manipulative in a way I could have fun with and quite cruel at times. That she was redeemable in a sense (because her issues were heavily influenced by nurture. Had things played out differently, she might have been a completely salvageable person if she were removed from Altena's control/influence.) made her more interesting in alternate settings.
But all the above is why I took her to Amat. I brought her back for this to explore some of her character more deeply, rather than exploring the setting more deeply. Chloe in Amat was heavily about Chloe in Amat, and what that horrible setting helped her become, and her attempts to reform her behavior later on. Chloe, here, is more of a focus on 'who am I, really? Why am I this way?' Something I wanted to do in Amat, but that a sex-game with choking collars doesn't exactly make easy to accomplish.

Girl's actually a bit ghoulish, really.
So, which romantic route did you take with Ilia, or are they a happy bachelorette?
no subject
She romanced Cullen! Girl likes hunky ex-templars, what can I say?
