Whoops, I didn't actually mean for that to be angry emoticon. It's usually my keep-my-mouth-shut-cause-I-just-did-something face, lol. I'm fine with your comments. I encourage it actually. It's good if you know what you want.

I guess I'd need some more in depth character descriptions before I really tackle anything, lol. I kind of assumed Alice was a shy, soft spoken and submissive person.

Ah, excellent. I'm really glad you're not angry with me. I was getting a bit worried there for a moment. I'm going to look into my plan file and do some potential rewriting of Alice's character so it's more clear what she's like.

Also, one of the big things I'm after with this visual novel is to portray women positively, and not in traditional roles. Hence, I don't want unrealistically submissive women presented as main characters. I think that through presenting them this way, when Takao has sex with whichever character the player chose, the female character won't seem like a "slut", nor the main character like a "player". Though portraying women fairly is just one of my goals of this visual novel.

Ultimately, I want to make the player of the game think about sexuality in a different (positive) way through seeing the events of Takao's life through his eyes.

Thanks for sticking with me. I'll post again shortly with more detailed descriptions of characters. Also, if anyone else is reading this thread, I still need background and CG artists.

I just went back and looked at my character descriptions and found that they're not horribly lacking in detail, so I'm going to post Alice's, Haru's, and Kasumi's here. I've also included two scenarios to demonstrate how they would probably react to different situations. The first one is Takao asking for directions to his classroom, and the second is a random popular girl inviting each of the characters to a birthday party.

“Takao. I’m sorry, but where’s 9-2 again?”
“9-2... oh jeez. You’ve got Mr. You’re-Going-To-Fail. I hope you’re still alive by the end of the day...”
“Er...”
“Oh, right! 9-2 is down the hall and to the right. Hope he doesn’t kill you.”

“Hey, Haru! Want to come to my birthday party tomorrow?”
“Hell yeah! How many guys are you inviting?”
“I’ve invited three so far.”
