This is Negi we're talking about. No villain goes unredeemed by the Thousand Pimp.
Seriously, though, it might be better if the (inevitably Kuudere/Tsundere) M.B. tries to corrupt Negi in a manner similar to Evangeline, i.e. trying to teach him how to manipulate people like she does. "You've got such a cute face, dammit! You could be really good at this!"

Another idea I just had is a girl with language problems. She's this smart girl who just can't talk with others because she stammers too much, has diction problems, the whole nine yards. That has made her introverted and isolated. Not a situation like Nodoka's, where she's just shy and yet has friends, or Chisame, who's just creeped out by the others' weirdness; she's just almost literally unable to verbally communicate, and it depresses her to no end.
@JT, regarding the last page: First, I only thought New York because New Yorkers like to make fun of New Jerseyites. You being from New Jersey makes it funnier. Second, it's even more hysterical to hear that New Jerseyites hate Jersey Shore. Let's just say I'm one of the few people in my school who shares your sentiments.

I've never watched Jersy Shore. I take it no one in this fourm likes the show.

Hyped for Hyperdimension Neptunia V 2Mainly because the entire cast of Jersey Shore are douchebags, and most of them aren't even from Jersey. That and no one in New Jersey actually acts like that except for the Guido's and we're as annoyed by them as everyone else. It's an image thing. If you're going to mock New Jersey, mock us for stuff we actually have.
Like jughandles, or putting malt vinegar on fries.

On a more serious note, I think a Brasileña OC would be a good addition to Negi's cast, for two reasons.
- It could allow us to add a third type of magic to the mix if she practices voodoo or some other West African-style magic. Where Western mages use pactios and Eastern mages use omnyodou summoning, these mages call up incorporeal beings and let them be possessed (I believe they use the term 'riding' the host, like a horse) to gain incredible powers. Voodoo style magic would be totally appropriate for a ghost story.
- It could allow us to throw capoeira into the martial arts of the story, which is awesome because capoeira is a cool martial art.
So, a Brasileña OC could be a ngougan or a capoerista. Or maybe both.
Oh fuck it, we might as well do a "101 Negima OC traits" thread game now, eh?

Let's see, so far we have...
1. Fan of American Comics.
2. Triplets.
3. Manipulative Bitch Iincho.
4. Female Wrestler (sexier, more glamorous than the boxer, even if still very muscular).
5. Trap. Oh, I want Kotaro to room with this one...
6. Tomboyish butch boxer.
7. Girl with verbal language issues.
8. Brazilian Capoeira practicioner.
9. Haitian voodoo witch (Haiti fits voodoo better than Brazil).
10. Perky Goth.
My bad, Umbanda
and Candomble
are the Brasilian religions/mysticisms. But there's also Vodun
and other similar mythologies. Come on now, if we're going to play at being Ken, we have to DO THE RESEARCH.
How about:
11. Head of the radio/broadcast club.
12. Engages in Enjo Kosai.
13. Plays cards, possibly head of poker club, possibly a gambler.

15. Military Fan. Plays War Games, buys replics of guns, but unlike Mana, she isn't a professional, just a War Otaku. Pretty much a female Kensuke. Falls on her knees worshipping Mana's ghost if they ever meet.
What about these?
16. A really tiny girl who plays the tuba. Or the contrabass. ...What? Negima needs some classical music!
17. A bug enthusiastic who thinks spiders, worms and other creepy-crawlies are the cutest things ever.
^^^^ In fact, I've been thinking about writing a Yue-fic just like that. I've planned it a bit, but I'm a bit shy about writing it down... It would be my first fic :) Perhaps I'll try sometime!
Prototypes for girls that haven't been used in Negima yet to fill a new version of 2-A. Basically, an Alternate Universe where Sayo is alive and studying there but every other girl from the manga is a ghost instead (yes, even a robot ghost and vampire ghost).
Not necessarily prototypes, just characteristics. We only need 30 OCs besides Sayo. From a list of 101 characteristics, we can combine them until we're down to 30 OCs we like. For Example: I think it would work great if the trap was one of the triplets. Much easier for a guy to go unnoticed in an all-girl's school when he's got his two identical sisters covering for him.

I want an Occidental Otaku type in there somewhere. She gets into fights with the Western comics fan.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

An Even the Girls Want Her type? Bishie Sparkle fight!

Maybe like a much more exaggerated version of Ayaka, only with more Beauty Queen / Attention Whore vibes. Possibly with some The Ojou on the side.

You read my mind.
Edit: Though I had an image of discord among her fangirls when Negi comes on the scene. Some are jealous of Negi catching their idol's eye,some don't want her to get Negi before they do and some have feelings for both. *laughs evilly*
"Ami-sama is so blinding!"
"He who raises him gets to keep him. I'll be a better big sister than you - so much so if you want him, you'll have to beg me to take me back!"
"Ami-sama. *sigh* Negi-kuuun! *eeee* Ami-sama! Negi-kuuun! AAAAAGH!" *breaks*

19. An American transfer student. The only knowledge she has of Japanese culture comes from anime, and she is still coming to grips with how Japan actually, uh, works. Lolz if there is a slight language barrier between her and the other students. Further lolz if she is the Western comics fan.
20. An internet reviewer. Gained her online celebrity status by reviewing manga/anime/video games/movies in a Caustic Critic manner. She has the double life that Chisame has, but whether or not she's as secretive about it is up to you guys.
21. A werewolf. Nothing notably fancy about it, unless one of you guys can think of something.
If I'm wrong about this numbering, tell me and I'll update it. I'm also trying to figure out a parallel for Chao. Maybe invert it by having someone from the past, a la Captain America?
@RT, regaring the triplet/trap combo: That is Fridge Brilliance there mate. It would be an interesting justification for Single Minded Triplets.
22. How about a Tsukumogami
?
23. A Purity Sue parody. She has so much Pollyanna in here that even the most obvious innuendo goes completely over her head, as does blatant stuff that isn't even innuendo. Bonus points if the class' resident pervert has the thing for her, and she doesn't notice all the stalkerish behavior.
24. The aforementioned stalker-ish Clingy Jealous Girl pervert who has a blatantly obvious crush on one of her classmates, but the object of her affection doesn't notice at all.

The Manipulative Bitch is the new Iincho? I like that concept. That's the position such a person should have climbed up to. And maybe now she's aiming to become President of the School Council, or something along those lines.
Hummm. Would such a person work better if she stays fully evil all the time, or should she develop genuine feelings for Negi as time passes by?
