i've never played in a shipping game before so i don't know who would be good.... it being 18+ only both helps and hinders me

mostly helps. i was considering satoko hojo (meguri) and i think she'd be fine but it's probably not the right game for her.

i'm mostly just caught on like

whether to go with a character that would go along with the concept or would be spitefully uncooperative.

current considerations are
rebirth!tara markov (she's more chill nowadays but still a dick)
near death note (he hates farming please don't make him go outside.......)
ianthe (she'd cooperate but she's also a walking cw list)
maya fey (just happy to be here)
ema skye (would rather not be here but guess she'll farm)
dahlia hawthorne (do not date this woman)

oh there's also imoen baldur's gate, which is a series i've been playing through and she deserves a break lmfao
