Sup y’all!
So my schedule may be freeing up enough that I could get another run at things around here (if all goes well). Should that happen, im trying to figure out what would be the best option for me.
1. Bring back Dionysus, and keep the Party God gimmick. The pros would be that this is a familiar character that has had interactions with most of the roster, and wouldn’t necessarily need to start from square one. Additionally, I could work him into a storyline pretty easy. The biggest con is that the gimmick itself is not fleshed out. At best, I have that he “cokes up,” based on the showing in Havoc. I’d be open to suggestions on what I can do with him to make him more believable (or outrageous, depending on the suggestions).
2. Bring back Dionysus, but revert back to his original gimmick. It would be the most comfortable transition for me, but the big drawback is the whole “he tossed cocaine into the crowd” moment would be brushed under the rug without a second thought. Not a huge deal in the long run, but admittedly, I’m also unsure what story to tell with him at this stage.
3. Come in with a brand new character for 201&Fun. Same issue with option 1; I’d have to flesh out a brand new gimmick*. However, it would also be an original character for AW. Plus, the word count works great with my current schedule (and would be godly with the new).
4. Come in with a brand new character for the general roster. See above, just not with 201&Fun.
All feedback/suggestions are welcome!
*Note: characters won’t be an issue; I have about 20-30 in the chamber, just nothing as fleshed out as Dionysus.

Give us the Party God.
Obvious promo material is obvious, but also it could help push you out of your comfort zone with the character (option B) but also the character would seem more fluid that way, given you want to go heel or face, you could rock either option.
“The God that comes” is just an A+ tagline too, fam

You could intertwine both your Dionysus characters in a sort of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde style characterization. Reboot him in his original form until you've reached your comfort level writing again then transition him back into the Party God storyline that you want to flush out.
The Party God Gladiator. . .
Epic. . .
Especially with the ring entrance that I helped you out with back in the day. lol

You could add some dancing females in Ancient Greece style clothing that is, a bit more risky then the Greeks had. They could carry baskets of grapes and be laying them at your feet and handing them to the crowd.

I’ve considered doing muses, but I’m thinking if I do that, I’d need a trio. Two stunning ladies, and one Husky Heart Throb:

Well I can't really give anything in the way of feedback, but what I can say is that whatever you choose to do will be enjoyable to watch no matter what. I've never been disappointed by your work and I highly doubt I ever will be.

I like the party gimmick idea, but I wouldn't mind another 201 member either! These are the main two ideas I'd choose between.

Thanks everyone! I’ve been diligently working on some new ideas I’ve been toying with, and I think I can cobble together a decent story.
I’m also considering a 201 character to run as well, but here’s the question: do you want a serious character, or a fun one? I have a few options in mind, but let me know! I’m down for anything when it comes to 201!

I too have thought of bringing a certain character out of retirement for 201. And he is anything but serious lol

Have a fun character for 201. Using Jay Frost was cool.

I wouldn't mind getting some feedback on my recent RP. I'm trying a different way to shoot using Dionysus's podcast, but I'm not entirely sure I like it yet. Let me know what you think! Through the Grapevine: Enter Junzo
