I've got an idea for a potential agent, but it's kind of different, and I'm not entirely sure it works. What I'm basically looking for is someone to do a Bad Idea Check and say "No, that's really dumb" if it is, in fact, really dumb.
The character, Aaron Hunter, is basically Eren from Attack on Titan as a Fallout 3 character. I kind of keep meaning to write a story about it, but I can't decide if I want to make him the Lone Wanderer or a Wasteland native whose hometown was under constant attack from Super Mutants. The former allows for emphasis of the thematic parallels, but the latter allows for the appearance of other AoT characters (mostly Mikasa). As a side effect, Agent!Aaron has two sets of memories.
As far as his PPC counterpart goes, he's basically a generic Brotherhood of Steel recruit in terms of ability. The AoT connection is mostly there for the wacky hijinks angle; he's not really aware of it, but I can see it causing some amusing incidents when he gets missions from that continuum. Like a case of mistaken identity if he loses his cloak, or being forced to replace Eren by a Sue who consistently misspells the name, or trying to transform by biting his hand and being extremely embarrassed when absolutely nothing happens.
My main concern is that with the AoT connection, he's a borderline Stu, but without it, he's either not terribly interesting or a canon character. Is it okay? Or should I scrap the idea?
