Alr!!!
Since a lot of people have expressed interest in the Jellyfish Otome game, I’ll go and release my current ideas for the lineup of romanceable characters (divided by “archetype”).
Feel free to give suggestions or something of the like :)!! I will eat them. Bite. Chew. Devour.
The Childhood Friend - Common Moon Jelly (Aurelia aurita)
The Player - Some kind of comb jellyfish, I haven’t decided which one yet
The Bad Boy - Black Sea Nettle (Chrysaora achlyos)
The Prince - Upside Down Jellyfish (Cassiopea andromedia)
The Stuck Up - Crown Jellyfish (Nausithoe aurea)
The Mysterious/Quiet - Man o’ War (Physalia physalis)
The Awkward - Helmet Jellyfish (Periphylla periphylla)
The Otaku - An Irukanji jellyfish (Malo Filipina)
I’ll give explanations under the cut, for those who are interested :)
Moon jellies are widely seen throughout the world and humans have mild to no reaction to its venom. A very friendly species :), perfect for a childhood friend
I hate comb jellyfish tbh /hj. But comb jellyfish are, by in large, hermaphrodites (a term that is considered derogatory towards humans, I believe), which means they can have that gender swag 😎.
I have a small feeling that I might accidentally fall into some unsavoury pansexual stereotypes with this character tho, so lmk if I accidentally ever do anything questionable with them
Black sea nettles look GORGEOUS. Think of the AESTHETIC this one could be fitting rn
Idk the whole space theme seemed pretty cool. I could imagine the “perfect” character having that lmao. (though considering how well Yuuya works, I could also just combine this archetype and the Player archetype...)
People in positions of power tend to be the most stuck up lmao. what can I say. I’m probably going to enjoy writing this one a lot, considering my track record with oresama characters.... (yes im talking about sakuya can we please move on)
Ok so, the Man o’ War isn’t actually a jellyfish- it’s this thing called a Siphonophore which is just. “colonies” of different organisms working together. So imagine if the character was _____ ____ __ _ _________. Wouldn’t that be funny?
Idk what this trope exactly is but.... I like to think that this character would be very shy and skulk off into the shadows a lot (they are a bit of a vampire lmao). I already have ideas for this character and here’s a hint: they are associated with another person in this list :)
Philippino Otaku?? That’s just Anghel. Literally I could make so many comparisons between the M. filipina but I won’t so you’re probably just safe assuming that this character is pretty much a 1 : 1 replica of Anghel /hj
