What are your thoughts on my Character Concepts for an AVN I may or may not develop?

Disclaimer Before Reading:

So for the past year or so, I've been cooking up this idea about creating my own AVN especially now that I'm "knowledgeable" to a degree on Honey Select 1 and have a story I want to tell. As of now though, I only have a rough plot outline and character concepts/OCs as well as some scene assets. However, I have lot of hesitancy to move forward with this hence me saying "I may or may not develop it". As for why... well one, I'm not familiar with the Renpy engine at all. I do have coding experience but I wouldn't say I'm good and it might take me a month or maybe two to learn Renpy. Second, I have a 9 to 5 job and I'm not sure how demanding an AVN would be towards that. Lastly, I've never done anything like this before nor have any clue on how to proceed but I am willing to learn if somehow I'm motivated enough to actually make this. Now the best case is I actually push through and make it or worst case, I just share the HS cards and let other people use it for their own uses. Regardless, I'm just happy to share so let me know your thoughts, critics, suggestions or ideas. Please feel free to give me character names too that you think fit the character better since I'm shit in naming things.

Premise:

"The Main Character (MC) comes from your atypical traditional DND fantasy like world filled with magic and the familiar fantasy races you know and love. During an epic confrontation with the "dark lord" like figure in the opening of the AVN, he is sent 1000 years into the future by story related events that I won't share. There he witness a future where the world is filled with advanced technology foreign to him, a world where magic is dying and a world where the dark lord reigns supreme. The MC must find a way home and destroy the evil in this cyberpunk/dystopian like future he finds himself in."

PS. I also chose this setting since most hs1 games are always set in high school or college yet there's this plethora of location assets no body ever uses since it somehow always defaults to the "school setting". That said, I decided I want to try something different and offer something new.

Character Concept for the Main Character:

Now I haven’t fully developed his backstory yet since I focused more on the Love Interests first. To be honest, I only created him mainly when I was adjusting the female characters' proportions and heights. That said, here's what he looks like so far. Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions for improvement. Also, I intentionally made him look different to avoid the typical Honey Select protagonist look, and yes, I gave him a prominent jawline since, for me personally, most HS MCs lack a strong one.

Besides that, I do have other male characters that are the "friends"/"allies" of the MC but haven't had the time to make them at all. However, I can share that one of them is a Changeling and the other either a Firbolg or Goliath, subject to change of course but that's the gist.

Character Concepts for the Love Interests:

Gwynne.gif Zshu-Li.gif Quor'el.gif

I forgot to mention but I do plan on making this a harem game with 9 core Love Interests with solo routes... if ever. As you can see though, the first four are most likely their finalized designs and backstory. The rest though might be subject to change or just slightly be altered appearance and story wise. However, the last two might completely look different since I'm still thinking of interesting ideas for their characters. Especially the Vedalken one since finding assets for a fish lady in Honey Select is hard man. As for why the biography is vague in some characters, well one, I can't fit everything into that tiny ass square, and second, its intentional since some of it will be spoilers. I might as well mention that I do have an overarching narrative that will tackle some of this so there's that. Anyway, let me know what you think and suggest me names.

Conclusion:

Anyway that's all, let me know what you random f95 people think about the whole thing! Open to suggestions like I said before and by the way, should I develop it? Like based on what you read so far, would ya'll be interested in a game like this?

I liked Vrogga and Zshu-Li's backstories. The others were a bit too incomplete to judge or leaned a bit too generic, though Gwynne's was fine.

That's a good looking male character for HS1 overall. A bit too hairy, but I guess you're trying to hook in the furries with at least 2 LIs, so why not. :p

"devoted believer of faith in her religion" sounds like redundant redundancy of redundancy in redundancy. "Devoted believer" or "devoted woman of faith" is enough, even "devoted believer in her religion" is a little much unless you're already hinting at a twist that she's secretly a Satanist or something despite the cross choker.

Her age and this level of breast development made me expect a vampire on the young side, but a fairy on crack's a nice twist. Or is she actually high on her own fairy dust? :unsure:

I can agree with the a bit too hairy but it's the closest I'll get to what I'm aiming for. HS1 doesn't exactly have realistic hair mods for the males.... for now

Didn't notice my redundancy error lmao, thanks for pointing it out though.

Funny enough, she was originally supposed to be a vampire but I opted out of that idea. Besides that, I'm definitely using high on her own fairy dust now
