If Namco found a way to balance sultry Grim Reaper sorceress with her more familiar cute quiet priestess girl motif, do you think it could work?

Just something I was thinking of when I remembered one of her spells is called Raise Dead.

The whole game will be about revenge+Zombie Cless.

She doesn't have the cute quiet priestess girl motif.

I did write a fanfic where she kills a bunch of dudes, though.

We'll just have another Jade, and Mint will become a saddist.

This could actually work.

Have a game centered around this "sultry cute necromanceress". Her spells would involve raising the dead and channeling souls to drag her enemies into the abyss of death, thus powering her spells.

Her strike artes could be like skeletal arms coming out of the ground to grab her opponents and hold them still while ghostly figures of the strongest warriors of all time hack away at that unfortunate soul with their ghastly weapons.

Her party members could be undead versions of particularly powerful people whose souls she bound to herself (previous bosses perhaps?) because she doesn't want to summon them time and time again.

I see major potential.

I think the biggest hurdle you're going to have to tackle is the conversations.

So how does the cute part work into it?



It's not properly Mint unless it's cute.

Turn it into charming the dead from the grave into following her?

Isn't seducing people more Arche's area of expertise?

I think Arche is less into seduction and more into Tiger Time.

That would be an interesting take on the archetype. A young woman with raven hair, pale skin, purple eye shadow and lipstick, wearing a tight jumpsuit, a hooded cloak, knee-high leather boots, slender gloves and wielding a scythe would be nice to see.

Give her artes related to heavy weapons like Presea or Karol use or even hafted weapons like Leia or Judith use, Darkness spells and healing spells and she's good to go.

While necromancy is often associated with evil intentions, when it's technically the magic of life, she could be an outcast that defied her Order of malevolent agendas, she could be a heretic that wants to break the taboo that people has about her magic.

Jade barely qualifies as a necromancer, because he doesn't have spells related to that. He doesn't have Darkness spells nor healing spells, so...

I really can't see Mint as a necromancer I always see her as a light element

No matter how many times people attempt to claim otherwise, raven is not a colour.
