Hey folks! Semi spicy question just to lob out here:
What style, look, vibe, or even race of a NPC does it for you? Or to attack it from another angle, what would you like to see, or more of, if it were at all possible? Is there a character in comics, cartoons, animation, or fiction that you have a particular bit of affinity with?
This game in particular has a pretty broad swath of types, ranging from traditional waifu, a few furry or scalie types, feminine presenting males, futa, monsters, and of course shortstacks, and even one or two husbandos, at it's hardly done yet. Now that there's a bit of a pause as the format and story is being tweaked, it's a pretty great time to take stock, right?
I'll give an example:
A character I've always dug is Red Sonja with the combination of the tried and true chainmail bikini. Of course it's ridiculous, covers next to nothing, and likely pinches in all sorts of horrid ways, but that's hardly the point. The combination of athletic, flawed heroics, and depending on the writing, free spirited and lewd checks a lot of the right boxes for me.
A good runner up is catgirls. Or bois. Or whatever. I've always had a soft spot for animal mascot types, especially if they are sort of goofy or eccentric. Some examples from anime would be Nuku Nuku, Aisa Clan Clan from Outlaw Star, Yoruchi from Bleach, and the Puma sisters from Tank Police. From fighting games, a solid take is Felicia.
Personality wise, I will always be fond of plucky idiots and comedy relief. Or reoccurring 'villains' or rivals (Team Rocket Blasting Off Again), especially if they keep bouncing back for further encounters. Respect the hustle.
That said, there's always room for the strong and silent types, or the 'gap moe' - they look like a stoic badass, but are completely undone by expressions of affection.
