so I think i'll go with the magical girl, mostly because I now for sure that she doesn't need established continuum and out the two of them she has a name, Tabitha.
mostly about my sis's agent, to specify she has two ideas an attack on titan agent or a magical girl agent and the problem is that o-so very simple one, which one should we do.
With the magical girl agent she used a random generator to get the description (body and powers mostly) but she doesn't have a fanfic or anything to describe the world her agent came from (at the moment at lest).
The attack on titan agent, is just a girl from the continuum she has the gear, the swords, and is possibly a titan shifter (my idea) but we are unsure if we want to do that part.
So state your opinions and give us some help, its always appreciated. Also (just so everyone isn't completely confused) Linda, Dean, and this girl meet up AT the PPC (the girl arrives at the PPC first then Linda and Dean meet her, become friends/teammates, do missions together, and so on and so forth.)
P.S. If this question appears to be badly worded, I would like to preemptively apologize.
Which is use both. I mean I originally came up with Apollo (who is an OC from a scrapped version of my original writing/story thing), then came up with Kelly to support him. I also had at that point the idea for an Agent from a lesser-played video game called Spiral Knights, and was struggling to work out which one to use. As it is I'm using Kelly, but Storme (the Spiral Knight) will probably be appearing in a couple of months time once I've finished tweaking his partners backstory.
Basically I'd say work on the whole character for each one, work out which would work best with Linda and Dean, and go from there, then a small while down the line one of the trio could always get transferred to work with a newbie, who is the other idea. If you get what I mean
hope that may help

It's not unheard of for original characters coming from actual unpublished fiction to unexpectedly drop in the PPC and hang around-- Agent Miah Arthur is an example of this. Besides, a plothole dragging an OC into HQ doesn't need to be explained: that is the very nature of plotholes themselves.
The SNK agent sounds cool, but I'd recommend to drop the shifter idea if she's going to kill badfic. That's getting dangerously close to Speshul, because it's both a rare power (we still don't understand how Shifters work) and a complete game breaker for PPC missions. Besides, where are you going to use those powers? Most 'verses don't have people randomly shift into Titans.
Or you could have her go into External Security... Things get pretty hairy when defending HQ from extradimensional threats, so I'd love to see how that plays out...
Another great tool you can use to help guide yourself is Huinesoron's Permission Self-Check. It's useful for asking yourself the right questions when designing an agent. No need to submit your answers at the very end of the exercise.
