OK, more ideas...

Playable Character 2

Other things
 * Character: Neptune
 * Story in the RPG: Neptune has been struggling to help her sister, and hopes that a quick wander around into the world will help her gather enough items to help her sister again.
 * Playstyle: Tank
 * Weapon of Choice: Swords!
 * How to unlock: Neptune is under control from a hacking chip when the game even starts, and is used as the tutorial to boss fights. When the player defeats her, the chip shatters and Neptune joins up.
 * Abilities:
 * 5 MP - Cycle Slice: Two blows on one enemy that ignore defense stats. If HDD is active, there are 6 blows instead.
 * 9 MP - Blade Swinging: Hit all enemies. 20% chance to stun. If HDD is active, it's a 60% chance instead.
 * 20 MP - HDD: Triple all of Neptune's stats for 4 turns. Has a 10 turn cooldown after the effects wear off.
 * Additional Notes: Neptune is of course the tutorial boss, but she isn't anything special. 4000 health, a basic attack, and a watered-down version of Cycle Slice are used.

Cirno - Cirno is present, but doesn't serve much of a purpose. She does however help you train against her for easy levelling!

Candlehead - Looking for a specific item? Candlehead can help you! Talk to her and pay her money for the item you want, and she will simply give it to you after 8 battles have passed since you've paid her.

Godcat - I dunno, maybe second to last boss or something. I have no plans for them.

Kenny - Kenny can power up your skills by slightly abusing fantasy imagination.... For a price and several items. It varies on the level you want to upgrade your skill to. Upgrading a skill often results in more power, a higher chance for additional effects, or better yet - maybe hitting multiple more targets!

Ib - Your go-to healing station! Simply talk to her, and she will heal you - if you can find her, first.

Velouria - Velouria has a fully functional buy-and-sell shop for multiple things - weapons, consumables - you name it! You'll get more money by selling her scraps the normal enemies dropped.

Nepgear - Nepgear serves a simple purpose, should you visit her. Nepgear will supply you with challenges in set conditions you can try at any time, and should you complete those challenges in battle, you will be rewarded money and items.

Mirage, Sanvi, and Toxen are not present. I'm not entirely sorry for them, but -eh, what are you gonna do.
