I guess I usually pick characters to app based on the setting and how I think they'd fit into it. For Recolle, I'm not great at coming up with AUs, so I just aimed for someone from a modern setting. Ryoga is great because he's loud and dramatic and overreacts a lot. I went for Luke because he's mellower and... isn't a total idiot that can't solve puzzles. At the same time, no one expects him to solve any earthshattering mysteries, which would be a bit of an issue with Layton himself.

Occasionally I'll just really like a concept or one specific trait about a character and try to look for a setting that sort of resonates with their canon. I'm still looking for someplace to play Senshi or Marcille from Dungeon Meshi because I really like the idea of cooking and eating RPG monsters, and because Marcille's faces are the best. Strong personalities are also easier to RP; my last couple of characters have been a manic robot girl, the most Osakan high school detective alive, and a cynical biopunk cyborg who uses violence to solve all his problems.

Was the Persona cast one of your reasons for apping Ryoji, or are you more the 'app whoever I want' type?

AUs are a struggle for me too, but mostly I play characters from modern canons because history and sci-fi are the bane of my existence, I am terrible at keeping facts straight haha. All your muses sound crazy amazing though! I absolutely love playing against characters strong personalities.

Usually I just app whoever I feel like playing at the moment, but for Recolle in particular, I was actually looking for a new game to play Minato because I already had an account from another game. I had just finished playing through P3 for canon review, and had vague plans on making a Minako account for memes, but then I saw the cast on the reserves list and ngl that convinced me :')

Do you like having cast mates, or being a lcw more? Or I guess in a huge game it doesn't matter as much

Histor(ical manga) and sci-fi are two of my favorite genres! Too bad about that research, though...

I think I prefer being a LCW, though most of the time I don't have a choice about it because of the canons I play from. While you don't have built-in CR as a LCW, you also don't have to worry about checking in with castmates, and you're pretty much free to build your CR and slice your time however you see fit. That said, it'd be cool if there was a Maya Fey around because I really love their interactions. Or a Clive or Hershel!

What are your favorite things to look for in a game?
