Adjusts Stitch onesie and waves excitedly
Hey everyone! Wisteria here, taking a quick break from writing to chat with you all. First off, I wanted to say a huge thank you for the incredible support on my new story "DxD: Shadow Sovereign"! Hugs notebook to chest It means so much to see people getting excited about Dante's journey.
Speaking of which, I've been working super hard on developing the peerage lineup, and I thought I'd share what I have so far! Spreads character sheets across desk You know how I am with planning - there are sticky notes everywhere in my room right now.
Picks up first sheet with a flourish
So obviously we have Dante as our King. For our Queen position, I chose Latia because I love the idea of exploring a high-class devil who chose to follow a different path. Plus, her dynamic with Dante is just chef's kiss.
Shuffles through papers excitedly
For our first Rook - get this - we have Zoro! Bounces in chair I mean, can you imagine his directionally-challenged self trying to navigate the Underworld? Plus, his raw power and sword style will be absolutely devastating as a Rook. That's definitely going to be a mutation piece.
Pulls up character art for Delta
And for our first Knight position, Delta from "The Eminence in Shadow" just fits perfectly. Her assassination skills combined with Knight-enhanced speed? Shivers Terrifying. And pairing her with Shun Kaidou as our second Knight? The chunibyo energy between those two is going to be hilarious.
Chews on pen thoughtfully
Kuroka as our first Bishop was kind of a no-brainer. Her natural affinity for magic plus her senjutsu abilities make her perfect for the role. Plus, she adds this wonderful chaotic energy to the group dynamics.
Glances at Akaza's profile
Now, using four Pawns for Akaza might seem like a lot, but come on - Upper moon with Pawn promotion abilities? The potential there is insane. And Ariel... Well, you'll have to wait and see why she's worth two Pawns.
Rounding out our pawn position is Kalawarna. Now, before you get up in arms just imagine for a second… Essence Drain + Fallen Angel Magic?
Stretches and adjusts glasses
I'm still working on filling those empty spots though. I have some ideas, but I'd love to hear your thoughts! Who would you like to see as our second Rook? And that second Bishop position is giving me trouble - we need someone who can balance out Kuroka's... unique personality.
Yawns and takes a sip of coffee
Oh! And don't even get me started on the remaining Pawn position. The possibilities are endless! Should we go for another supernatural being? Maybe someone with technology focus to round out our skill set?
Pulls hood up and grins
Anyway, I should probably get back to writing. These characters won't torture themselves! Pauses Wait, that came out wrong. You know what I mean!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Your ideas always help spark my creativity, and honestly, sometimes you guys come up with better combinations than I do!
Waves goodbye while gathering scattered character sheets
Back to the writing cave! Don't forget to stay hydrated, and I'll see you in the next chapter!
P.S. If anyone finds Zoro, please direct him back to the peerage meeting room. He was supposed to be there three hours ago...
