I'd really appreciate some clarification why the move away from alt Malik (from here on Meowlik) being explicitly a JRPG character transferred to the world of blaseball is such an important change, I've personally always appreciated Meowlik as being a FFXIV character with the name plate filed of, being a reference to a miqo'te gunbreaker, FFXIV is a really important game to me as it was the first place i really had to explore my gender identity and is a place where many of my most important relationships were founded. Meowlik was my first favorite player because of that connection i had with him as a character and id personally be really sad to see a move away from that. On a more team wide basis, It is to my understanding that Meowlik is one of the garages most popular players, and a lot of the proposed changes in this thread are a bit too sweeping of changes to what are cornerstones of Meowlik's lore, in particular while blaseball is on hiatus. If there is a specific concern with Malik being from a jrpg-like setting I think most garages would be happy to listen and make changes accordingly.

this isn't to say any of the other recommended changes to Malik's character are bad ideas that should be thrown out, I'd like to see if we can come to some agreement about Malik as an anti monarchist, perhaps by just saying he's an anti authoritarian or anarchist, but i personally always felt like him being an anti monarchist was more in reference to his name meaning "king wave" , not an explicit call out on the validity of the Emir of Kuwait, but I can understand where the concern comes from. id also love to see changes that explore his Kuwaiti and Greenlandic cultural heritage in original as well as incorporating elements of it into Meowlik as his bio already states that JRPG Washington exists, so I believe there's ways to incorporate JRPG Kuwait and Greenland into Meowliks bio as well to help him be better representative of those cultures while still keeping him connected to his JRPG origins

to bring it back to the original request, could i possibly have some clarification where the interest in moving Meowlik away from explicit jrpg character is coming from?
