Characters (ofc from angel beats but whatever)
yuri: intelligent/slightly scatterbrained also extremely insecure and depressed, kills herself at the end of act I which kicks off everything else.
otonashi: p, slightly perverted, eventually gets together with kanade. "no way jose" (actually she dies) and then with yuri at like act 3? some point?
shina: she fucking hates everything and thinks everyone is immature, eventually just leaves (but maybe not)
iwasawa: if you think about it not much is revealed about her in the anime anyway but her with otonashi and yuri are the 3 main characters really
kanade: basically just used as otonashi's first gf until she dies because she was killed by the enemy although explain her backstory and give her a bit of character also make her kinda optimistic unlike everyone else who will eventually become more cynical than me.

lol we need hanada and some non-angel beats characters because i hate the word OC because original oc, do not steal amirite

-plans: watch some serial experiments lain/nge/clannad at some point, do some lotaris shit then work on this sometimes?

suffering: holy fucking shit wtf is our suffering level

the enemy:
- not planned because wtf im an idiot
- kicks off in Act II Stg5 end/Stg6

questions:
- how do we make it unpredictable?
- at this point only act1 and maybe the early parts of act2 are even close to finalized or being written
