We're So Back

We're so back

The Clifford redesign is here!

Now, let's start with the biggest change: in the Modern AU games, Cliff was nonbinary and used He/They pronouns. In TSR game, he is referred to with He/Him only, and is just a cis man. This is honestly probably the worst thing NB rep I've ever seen.

Nonbinary folks definitely existed back in 1915, they just weren't referred to as nonbinary. So now, their transness is left intact, and they are also AFAB. Besides they change their name in canon which is kinda trans already

I love the idea of Clifford being naive, but I feel like it's often overlooked that he's from a prestigious university and is definitely pretty booksmart. So, there's a bit more emphasis on them being an intellectual in the rewrite. They're usually reading when they're not a part of the conversation and just chilling in the background.

I also may have given him a slightly pretentious streak, quoting Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld and Nietzche on occasion. Because intellectuals are a little pretentious. Yeah I'm talking to you university students this is a callout

Also, Clifford's outfit is definitely not time period accurate, but I was going for a more ambiguous time period where all the cloths look like an outfit that could exist, but has also clearly got some slight fantasy influence. How'd I do in that part, ya'll?

And lastly, I think it's worth mentioning that the route characters (Cliff, Murdoch, Nik, Will) are all the protagonists of their route rather than being the love interest. So let's tick off the first of four!
