NOVABURST

 

Disclaimer: I own nothing except Reiko Yagami.

 

This is the story of a concept of character during my anime period of creation. During this time, most of my characters were inspired by various anime characters. Reiko is an almost pure copy of Rei Ayanami of Neon Genesis Evangelion and yet she remains one of my favourite. Learn about her during her life in her home dimension.

Notes: this story was `on the fire' since at least two years. I have just decided to try to launch it.

 

Many of my writings are formed by a crossover between an anime and a role-playing game. I found the use of a role-playing game, an adequate platform for the creation of a write. You have detailed background information on the anime and solid reference for not transforming your characters into powerhouses.

 

Well, at least, not initially. I confess that I am a bit inclined towards powerful characters. The dreaded Mary-sue is always lurking in the background.

 

I have used numerous time a character who is a normal person and suddenly because of the game is transformed into an approximation of an anime character. I hope you will like my work.

 

Read and review please.
