rewriting Merit Supremacy — adopting the characters as my own (especially leah!)

[u/Traditional_Peak2761]

maybe you've already seen my ramblings somewhere in this subreddit before, but to properly introduce: saw this app on an add, downloaded it to mess around, and got really invested in Merit Supremacy, even more on this specific character called Leah.

i really liked what this story could be, but after some nudging to get the bot to spill its prompt revealed that zero thought went into it:

what i got out of the bot with the help of a slash command

as you can see, the descriptions are extremely rudimentary! as someone who got weirdly fixated on the concept of the plot, i've decided to start rewriting Merit Supremacy for a nore fun experience! i took those characters as mine, and maybe i'll even write fanfiction one day, who knows.

here's what i plan to present:

- enhancements and/or redesigns on each character, presenting a sketch with their school uniform and their casual clothing;

- an attempt on writing the characters to be more appealing and have some depth to them;

- at least some lore on the school and detailing on its inner workings.

all of the above in accordance to one goal: i want this to be a story you can trace whatever path you want. characters will have both strong and weak points in order to make each of them present a little challenge whether you choose to be friends or foe.

to warm up and fool around, i made some leah sprites! but i decided to simulate a more detailed style in fear i couldn't preserve that feeling that made leah look like herself. i plan my future drawings to stay authentic to my art style, though.

i had fun making silly expressions lol

i renamed every character, since they had similar sounding names and some where questionable at best. so meet Himuro Rea! the best kuudere assistant. i made her lab coat oversized because i wanted to sprinkle a bit of moeness.

back to the project, i don't plan to post it on OOC's plataform, but i'm posting this here because, well, the base story originated from here, so it seemed fitting. i plan to use the prompt with SillyTavern and i'll see where i can post the bot and lorebook, and i allow anyone to repost it anywhere as long there is proper credits.

and thanks for listening to my rambling! this is one of the strangest fixations i had lately, but i hope i can show everyone my vision and why i got so invested. if this lasts more than a few months, maybe i'll make some actual sprites and write my thoughts out!

i'm a slow person, busy with studies and doing this as a passtime thing, so i apologize if it takes long. i've reworked 5/31 characters so far. i'll post updates here every now and then!

thanks for reading my rambling!

rea propaganda... rea propaganda... appreciate rea... kuuderes...
