Take them both!
SPOILER ALERT
.
.
.
.
Here's why: I can easily imagine things Rion could do or instigate or get into.
Emmeline, though, isn't actually a character. She's a plot device. She's there to be someone for other people: someone Cain doesn't want to have to marry, someone who gets killed off in order to advance the plot of the murder mystery -- her only purpose in having lived was to get herself killed.
If she HAD lived, which is granted by the setup of the Yukiverse, I think there still wouldn't be anything for her to do but mope around the manor being cranky about how everyone treated her: her brother picked on her, her childhood-arrangement fiance fell in love with someone else and she despises him even before that happens, and she doesn't even get to have interesting visions like Meredianna. She's literally nothing but a placeholder.
So if you want Emmeline, go ahead and take her, and good luck thinking of something worth doing with her, 'cause you're probably going to need it!
But I'd strongly recommend taking Rion too, so that you have someone who actually DOES things and has a motivation in life and interactions with other characters in her own right -- someone who's not there just to be acted on by other people... ^_^;;;

Thanks! I'll try Rion, but I'm really scared that I'll make her too OOC, so i probally won't rp her to much...I really want to have Rion be a kick-ass (is alright to curse on the board?) older-sister type for Merryweather. Since there seems to be a Merryweather/Ellone connection, I thought it might be cute. With Emmeline, since she is a minor character, it's much easier to manipulate her. I'm going to play her the way I think she could have been if she didn't have her whole inferiority complex. Pretty much, right before she died, she confessed that she was totally in love with Cain. I can imagine her being the really bitchy, in your face older-sister/female friend type. The type of person who wants the best for the one they love but conplains all the way? Am I right with this? Also, I was wondering if I could say that she was in the Sanitarium to get over her inferiority complex and to make and excuse why she hasn't been around. Thanks again~!

It sounds like you don't want to do Emmeline, you want to do a character-personality-transplant version of Emmeline.
We haven't had anyone do that yet... and I'm not sure how people *could* know how to react to a character-transplant version because all we know is the Emmeline in the books, not the Emmeline with psychotherapy in your head. ^^;;;
Be more specific here -- tell me details about how your version of Emmeline differs from the one in the books (what was in the psychotherapy, what changed in her personality as a result, what if anything the psychotherapy DIDN'T do for her, any specific life-significant stuff that happened to her that people in-story who know her would know about)... because otherwise there's literally no way we could know what to do with her and how to interact...?
I'm not saying you can't do it -- I'm saying the rest of us can't work with you unless we know more details about what it is you're doing...
Specific questions: --What does she now think about her family? --What does she now think about Cain? --What does she now think about Meredianna? --She HAS to have met people from other floors since she spent time in the sanitarium. Give four or five examples of people she knows from other floors and how she interacts with them.
(Examples: Did she meet Adrian in the sanitarium? Was her psychiatrist a "good guy" or a "bad guy," like the way Dr. Jezebel doesn't usually help the people he's working with? Did her psychiatrist mention the "you're madly in love with someone who spurns you *because* he's in love with someone else and you don't want to give up 'your thing' even though you didn't originally want him yourself? You're going to have to get over THAT part of your string of complexes too, in order to ever be a person who can stand on your own..." If he did, what if anything did it do to what she thinks about Cain as a result? Who does she know from non-Cain series and what kind of relationship does she have with a couple of them?)
^^;;; I'm still amazed that you think Rion would be hard to play, because what you want to do with Emmeline is going to be a lot harder than just using in-story characterization and motivation...! Good luck...

I think I'd like to use Alexis from Count Cain, you know the Count's father. He's so evil and so sadistic. I know he doesn't feature much in the manga but he's still around somewhere!

As though it wasn't explosive enough around here! Poor Riff... ^__^ I don't feel sorry for Sakura though; I'm almost scared to find out what happens when Sakura meets the real Alexis. FYI, a couple things have been established in-story, in case you haven't read all the threads yet: 1) Alexis doesn't (yet) know about the fact that Yuki-sensei's gone for the year. 2) Alexis isn't living on the first floor with the rest of the Cain cast. He can be on any of the other floors that you like, except possibly for the Bloodhound floor because in that case Sakura would have met him already. (He could, for example, have been in the sanitarium with Adrian, or he could be concocting a plot with GERA on Neji's floor, or he could be making his own Super Secret Hideout in one of the many uncharted parts of the basement... or he could have run into Rociel... or...) Let me know (in a PM if you don't want the other characters to know, or in a message on the board if you want to 'grandly scheme' in public) what Alexis's latest monomaniacal obsession is and what he's going to try to do to ruin people's lives. I assume he's at least partially still fixated on Cain, for instance -- but now that there are so many more casts running around, there are a lot more villains he could be either trying to team up with or trying to ward off to keep them from infringing on his own power base... see what I mean? Give me a clue where you want Alexis's part of the story to go so I can keep that in the back of my head as I move the NPCs around. One more note: I feel obliged to warn you that you're setting yourself up for a place where very nearly every other player character is going to either actively hate your character's guts or at least side with your character's "enemies." Dr. Jezebel is the only one from "Alexis's side" who's been spoken for, and he's always had his own personal agenda anyway. If people do things that seem designed to make Alexis "lose", don't take it personally -- because that's what happens to villains in almost all stories... and I as the GM want this to continue a reasonable amount of time, which it wouldn't do if Alexis "won" (ended up with Cain dead at his feet and the rest of the world mentally enslaved somehow). So I'll be as impassive as I can, but sooner or later Alexis IS going to lose... ^^;;;; If you want a second character who isn't starting out on "the losing side" of the equation, feel free to claim someone else too! There's lots of characters still out there...

I hate to do this. I really hate it, but after more than 2 months from my last post I came to the conclusion that I won't be able to post after I set my college life straight. I just don't want to compromise myself when I know I wont be able to post, so I'm releasing my dear Raziel-kun and Zaphikiel-sama Please take good care of em'. They're good and interesting bishies with lots of potential. I promise once I have set things straight I'll come back because this RP board thing is so damn fun. For the meanwhile I guess I will have to conform with just reding what you guys do, which BTW I completely luv' it! Well, that's all I wanted to say, err--write, so wish me luck with my courses and I hope I can get over all those things soon so that I can come back here. See/read ya' PD. college life sucks -_-*

2 Things you should note:
1. This RP is practivally dead - last valid entry was in 2003 2. Alexial/Setsuna is/was taken already. By me.
