So to start with: the character I'm looking to app is a robot ghost. Well, astral projection of sorts into ghost. Thing. It... Megaman's a weird canon, after a point. But this brings up a major question concerning how I'd be playing him, here:
X has two "forms": his "full-sized self" looks like a projected, semi-solid and somewhat glitchy hologram, and his other form is a palm-sized version of this projection with what look like neon-tube wings that most people see as a glowy data ball with a few extra details (basing this on other entities of the same type because there's no official art saying one way or another, and he's a special case even with that in mind). This other form is also semi-tangible, but moreso than the "projection", while conserving more energy. While I'm fine with the idea of playing him darting about as a ball of light, that makes dealing with the crystal a little more difficult since it's... probably close to his size, and interaction with other characters may prove difficult, as well. So comes the question: is it conceivable that emotions make him more capable to take on that full-sized form more solidly instead of tiny data disco ball? So the more he feels, the more solid he can be at full size, and the more distant or apathetic, the harder it is to take on to the point of only being tiny disco ball? This would also offer something interesting for me to play off of, but I'm curious if it'd work by setting-rules.
