"... That would be magical spaceflight and things like that, Lila.

"... I'm afraid doing that well would be putting a lot of work on our worldbuilding team, Alicia.  I could put it out there, but I think it would be better if they didn't get upset at us and did a good job of the worldbuilding.  How about I make sure to note that they should do a decent naturalistic job on the stars and planets, and if you survive this story in good shape, you can bring about magical spaceflight yourself?"

She allows herself a small 'snrk' at the idea.  "Maybe; I feel like the problem with that thought is that it's not very symmetrical?  Like, statistically speaking, why should it be us that invent all the spaceflight?  But yeah I feel like I - hm -"

"Ah, damn, I'm attached to the blue alien space goats and their magic spaceship escape pod that crashlanded on Planet One Of Two Now-Playable Zones."

"Okay, how about we have the alien space goats inspire us to make spaceflight!"

The angel nods.   "I think I can get in something like that.  Maybe they can be tied in with the Demon Lord..."

"That sure is how the Plot of WoW goes!  Er, well, mostly that they're running - well, fighting a holding action across spacetime - from this guy, and then Azeroth, mostly in practice via adventurer and bosstier intermediaries but like, heck if I know what the planet's spirit was up to for sure, punches him in the balls - but yeah uh, that is definitely sort of the hook around the whole, introduction of spacegoatpeople.  Also orcs were 'his fault', but let's not do fantasy racism.  That's, like.  Really fucking sucky to experience.  Honestly it fucking sucked to witness; Orgrimmar deserved better design than 'slap some hides on some logs and call it a day', they could've done adobe at least, I mean, really, --

"You didn't sign up for that rant!"

"Oh good; then we know the story can work?"

"Next up will be your Bad Ending in the canonical story, Alicia, after you lose your love interest to the protagonist... which might not be quite so relevant since you've already decided to be off the wheels of Fate, but it will still help with the worldbuilding.

"The options are:  an unmourned Death (which will give you one more Perk for free); being forced into vows at a Nunnery serving the poor; Servitude to the heroine which might be magically enforced; being Impoverished; being Exiled and forced into a political marriage; or simply being Disgraced and never quite recovering (which will give you one more drawback)."

"...I have to admit that since we're taking the rails off, my minmaxer brain thinks it's relatively safe to take 'Death', but I don't know -"

"Death for - for losing your betrothal to a foreign prince?  If we're in a kingdom where that even could happen, that'd be pretty uncomfortable... especially for you, since it'd be your own parents the king and queen who must've given the sentence!

"Best case I can imagine is that your... canonical counterpart?... was a really horrible person and lost her betrothal by killing someone or betraying the kingdom, but even then I'd be reluctant to get into her place."

"I mean I figure that the 'canonical' route is that she does some Stupid Bullshit like pledge herself to the Demon Lord and die horribly."

She nods slightly.

"Dying from the fallout of your schemes is very acceptable.  And don't worry; I'm sure your parents will be more lenient than Lila feared.

"Next up:  your Minions.  Alicia, pick two options - a Maid who's guaranteed to be highly competent and almost unquestioningly loyal; two female Classmates of slightly lower social status who're in tune with the Academy gossip; an Admirer who's a male student who has an obvious crush on you that you can use to manipulate him; an Animal Companion you've bonded with; or a Butler or other old friend or ally employed by your father.  Or, for the cost of an extra Flaw, you can also select another Admirer.

"Lila - your Minion is already set - one of the Royal Academy's faculty was a former companion of your heroic parent."

"I think I should probably have at least one Maid because gods know I won't get anything done otherwise...

"...And probably I want a Butler?  But I don't know what sort of - specialty - would be good..."

"Your father's the king; you can get in just about any official or teacher you want there.  What would be useful... well, you want to be working with magic more than school gossip, and you'll have a Demon Lord to face, so how about a royal magician?"

"That sounds - about right, yeah.  Hmm.  But what specialties should they have..."

"And for my sponsor... who would've been a companion of my heroic... father, let's say?  Well, he would've been some sort of heroic magician... or maybe merchant or traveler, but I don't think they would've gotten him made nobility... oh yes, and he would've worked with someone who was more in tune with the politics.  So I'll know someone who's a nobleman in touch with the royal court, who used to go adventuring... and thus might know something about the Demon Lord."

"Honestly though, hm, I feel like I'm going to pick Magical Prodigy as one of mine, which is...

"I can guarantee I'll be able to learn lots of magic!  I cannot guarantee other useful training-slash-trainers?"

"Yes - I'll have magic classes at school; I'm not sure I'll get good politics tutoring as a brand new noble's daughter.  What else do you want to pick up, that your parents wouldn't have already given you as a princess?"

"....Sneak attack dice."

"Um.  In the sense of - being not necessarily a strong fighter, but - still having the ability to absolutely fuck someone up, should I need to - especially if they let their guard down around the 'harmless' princess?"

"Except, everyone would already know you could do that with your magic."

"Well, yes, but there's plenty of options for anti- and counter-magic, so.  Probably best to have a trump card, y'know?"

She nods.  "Are you planning to walk around with a sword everyone thinks is just for show?  Or learn fistfighting or something?"

"Or something."

Knives in the dark, and counterintelligence...

Just in case.

(Besides, who doesn't want to be Bond, Jane Bond?)

"Anyway.  Did we ever settle on the overall aesthetic?  I'm kind of thinking - 

"Well, the thing is that there wasn't one coherent vibe of all Azeroth.  Even before the alien space goats you had Gnomeregan.  And the Ironforge Air Force.  And those playing alongside, or against, people still using wooden boats, whose airforce was, like, bats.  Giant bats, but, like, not extra-magical ones.  And not having insurmountable advantages therefrom!  But I think that's a lot more trending steampunk than anything else?"

"I thought I knew what you meant by aesthetic... until you were talking about advantages?  Do you mean like the difference between the knights in the palace and the hedge-witches in the villages and the rovers in the mountains?"
