>>14675084>>14677039I agree with both your points, but I've a story planned that tunneled in on these two serving important roles plot-wise, while having their own little arcs. The story is one with several of the holo factions clashing and coming together, each having their own little arc, so Aloe and Chris would be more like part of an ensemble cast than the main focus.
For Chris, it's mostly just her and her effects on the plot that are mentioned, since she's not present in this setting. Rather she serve as a blank slate meant to reflect the many indies very few know about, not being part of some of the corpos.
Aloe has her own bit where after being physically separated (graduated), we learn more about her self-doubt and that would have inevitably posed some sort of problems had she continued. She's in a position where she's in a bit of a hugbox, where she at least has some support, but because of he reliance on it is not moving forward all that much. She then has an encounter with Botan (not the others cos plot reasons) where they lament on what Gen5 went on to do and how Aloe could have been a part of it, which Botan reaffirms is how everyone felt. Her arc ends with her finally moving on and realising how much she needs to work on herself going forward. Compared to Chris, Aloe's arc is maybe a somewhat optimistic side to those that had been close to being part of holo but now going on as indies.
So with that said, would this kind of story be in bad taste, or is there at least some wiggle room to make it into something good? I'm not including them to shit on them, and I feel like their graduated status is important to why it's them that plays their role in the story (although no longer there, played a part in shaping it somewhat).
