Hey, that's a little melodramatic. Listing likely solutions to character setup isn't going to change the game *that* much; maybe to the storyline at most.

Sometimes directness is the best approach. Yeah, I'll admit I'm being a little harsh here, but it would just be plain mean if I'm really damn sure there are better options than the method currently taken; and just said nothing to avoid possible defensive backlash. And who said the methods I listed are the only solutions? These are just the most obvious.

Not to mention it would suck if he got a good way into this, and *then* there were complaints of character inclusion and setup.

Hey, I'm not questioning your right to criticise. I just didn't like how it was delivered. You said it like the game was a total mess that he had to save. A new dude like him might end up bending over backwards trying to please everyone and forget that they're making the game for themselves.

Eeeugh, Fancharacters mixed with canon and non-sequitur characters from other series? Not good by any account. You have a few options as to how you might fix this.

- Play as fancharacters ONLY. Canon characters are NPCs. No other-series cameos. Workable, but more than a little ego-stroking, and is kind of an empathetic barrier to those who aren't familiar with your char.
- Play as the canon characters, and have the Fancharacters as NPCs. This is a great deal less ego-stroking; and more accessible to people who aren't familiar with Chronic The Echidnahedgefox's DARK PAST.
- Canon characters only, no fan characters. Best possible, IMO. That's not to say that you don't create new character designs; just not any that are meant to represent yourself.
- Smash Bros. esque, having an even mix of characters from different series. This could work out well, but like sonic fancharacters, it's crushingly cliché. I would actually respect you a great deal if you left out Mario. Having a series crossover without using MARIO VS SONIC OMG as a crutch really takes some guts.

I'm not including the fancharacters in the story. They're unlockable extras. And I think I'll actually consider removing Mario...
