Welcome to maskormenace's first ever
CR MEME!!

How does this work? It's easy!

⒈ Make a thread for yourself or a comment with your character's name on it. Reply to that post with your filled out forms for organization's sake.
⒉ Comment to other people! See if their answers fit anything you're looking for and if yours fit anything they are. Don't be intimidated, carpe diem, we like to party.
⒊ Keep checking back! We strongly encourage you to track top-levels even, if possible. New characters may get accepted and post to this meme after today and we want to make sure everyone gets their fair shot.
⒋ Play nice and have fun!


( THE BASICS )
Name: Your character!
Canon: Self-explanatory!!
Character's (approximate) age: Or how old they appear.
Character's powers: List and describe them!
Is your character registered/will they be?: Why or why not! Maybe unsettled heroes will want to make connections with each other. Maybe registered heroes will want to team up. So on!
Where does your character live?: What housing residence are they in? Meet your roommates if you haven't already, make plans!
Are you looking for roommates?: If your character is currently housing alone, or planning to move out of their assigned housing. Is your character considering moving to one of our other cities? See who else might be doing the same!
What is your character's job?: And are they sticking with it? Enjoying it? Coordinate with potential coworkers, employers, or patrons -- why not!

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: What are they good at, what do they hate, what do they need (and so on) so that others know what they can offer you.
What are your character's plans?: Either what they're doing as we speak or what you'd like to do with them!
Does your character have a secret identity?: Since this can get confusing at times. Is your character a superhero with a public identity or do just a few people know who they are? List them, even!
Is your character open for pairings?: Useful to know! Possibly.
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: If yes, how much and in what circumstances?
Is your character interested in teams?: Registered hero teams are very well-received around these parts, as you might guess. If yes, coordinate with possible teammates and see if you can put something together!
What kind of plots are you after?: Let the brainstorming commence. This can be as vague, specific, or "big picture" as you'd like.
Anything else?: If you have anything else to add!

Nyx | Manaka Sajou (Fate/Prototype)

[beastofasister]

( THE BASICS )
Name: Manaka Sajou
Canon: Fate/Prototype
Character's (approximate) age: She's 14 but also 22 at the same time
Character's powers: Pseudo-immortality (she doesn't age and you have to cut her head off if you want her to die), magecraft (not-magic), darkness manipulation (tentacles)
Is your character registered/will they be?: Hell yeah she's registering. GONNA MAKE SABER PROUD no she's not!!!!
Where does your character live?: House #016
Are you looking for roommates?: PLEASE. I didn't sign her up for randomized housing, because she's gross and I wouldn't want anyone who wasn't comfortable with her to get stuck in the same house as her, buuut I'd love for her to actually live with people. So, if there are any vacancies in houses that wouldn't mind her...

PROS: Well-mannered, neat, good cook
CONS: Gross, may accidentally leave bloodstains on towels and furniture, doesn't understand moral objections to murder*
* May qualify as a pro, depending on roommate
What is your character's job?: Part-time student Sunday school teacher

( THE DETAILS )
RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Manaka's primary talents include being exemplary at everything she attempts and having her smile described as angelic while she is murdering dozens of people. She enjoys movies about princesses, knightly blond men, and her friendship with the Beast of Revelation. She dislikes boring things and not being able to spend Valentine's Day with ~*~her prince~*~.

Also, she likes kids in the "10 and under" range and is accustomed to looking after them.
What are your character's plans?: Her plans are mostly to register as a hero and do ~heroic things~, because she once had a conversation with the man she's obsessed with in which he said he hoped she would do the right thing and not blithely kill people to meet ends. Of course, because she's Manaka, at least half of that filtered right out of her head, so it's probably most accurate to say her current plans are "blithely killing people, but in the name of heroism."

Additionally, she just arrived, so she's taking time to settle in and get acquainted with her surroundings. Also, sulking mightily about Valentine's Day.
Does your character have a secret identity?: No
Is your character open for pairings?: WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO

(No, unless "getting weirdly fixated on people that remind her of Saber" counts as a pairing, in which case possibly.)
Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: I am totally open to this. Manaka has a cockroach-like ability to not die, so she can get roughed up well and good, and on the flipside, she is absolutely ruthless about pursuing her goals and will mess with anyone if it will benefit her. Even if she likes them.
Is your character interested in teams?: May...be...? This is pretty situational. If it will benefit her and/or the team involves at least one person she finds interesting, yes.
What kind of plots are you after?: People to fall for her act. People to see through her act. Terrible people she can drop the act around. Kids for her to find endearing. Maybe even... A genuine friend? I also really want a chance for her to be creepily ruthless at some point, even if not in the immediate future. Pls.
Anything else?: As mentioned above, she's gross, so she has a permissions post detailing such.

ADDITIONALLY:

[crab]

karkat's pretty used to being friends with gross murderers is all i'm saying

[beastofasister]

Well GOOD, because Manaka will be all up in his business once she catches sight of him, honestly. She secretly has existential ennui issues so she is all over ~new and exciting~ things and people.

[crab]

oh man karkat can tell you all about existential despair. three years drifting through an endless abyss of ghosts and lovecraftian squid gods doesn't do grand things for one's mental health.

[beastofasister]

Manaka herself has spent most of the past eight years with only the Beast of Revelation and all of humanity's ~evil desires~ for company, so

hahahahaha

it sounds like they can have some pleasant conversations!!

Re: Nyx | Manaka Sajou (Fate/Prototype)

[cardea]

Falling for the act of terrible people, you say? That is kind of Anna's thing. Also, they can swoon forever about princes and romance and stuff together.

[beastofasister]

Yesss, I am super down for this CR, I'm ngl. If nothing else, a teen girl friend for her to gush about ~romantic~ things with sounds like a lot of fun.

[cardea]

*yes*

And unless she blatantly states it, Anna will never catch on to or believe the evil. Because no one who loves love that much could be a psycho, okay.

[beastofasister]

Oh Anna.

Haha, I will also be pursuing CR with Hans, and Manaka is going to be 100% taken with the dashing prince act, so she'll have to tell Anna how lucky she is :')

[fingerbang]

you had me at darkness tentacles

[beastofasister]

GOOD I AM GLAD because while I don't know a lot about FMA, I know enough to say I want CR with Lust.

[fingerbang]

EXCELLENT I don't know all that much about Type-Moon either, but Lust is not short of experience with people who look half their age forever and shadow tentacles (that......eat people.....), so she can roll with these punches, is all I'm saying.

[beastofasister]

I SCROLLED UP AND READ YOUR COMMENT FOR HER and I'm preeeetty sure that screaming souls would be something Manaka would pick up on, since some degree of perception for Weird Shit seems to come with magecraft?? In which case she would pretty much be like

/sllllowly leans into frame
how you doin'

(it also reminded me that I probably should have mentioned that Manaka would feel really unsettling to people with similar spiritual senses, aha...ha...)

[indentcision]

man, I would definitely offer a housemate if mine weren't all full up right now... if Norman moves out of his place in need of more space (which he might soon, actually, so--!!) I can switch him over! he is, uh, a-okay with murder being a murderer himself although he won't be overt about it. they can play the ~heroic things~ game together.

ANYWAY THOUGH, I am enjoying her thread with Two-Face a lot so far! if she ever wants an on-again-off-again sidekick-to-a-supervillain position I'm sure arrangements could be made.

[beastofasister]

Oh, well, if you'd like to if/when that occurs, I am definitely interested in that! Manaka is on the...relatively down-low about such things herself, which basically means she won't be open about her unpopular ethics opinions unless it's relevant or she gets the feeling the other person is of a similar mind, so that could be kind of funny...

Also yes, same!! I am glad, because that post was at least 300% Manaka's jam. I would def like to do more with them in the future, and seeing as she has already decided he is her kind of person, she is pretty much available for helping on demand. She'd probably drop the act entirely if they interacted in a more private context too, haha.

[indentcision]

Excellent it sounds like a good fit. And Norman is always happy to help guide young minds toward greatness. ("Greatness.") It might be later next week-ish that time frame is okay with you?

And awesome. Harvey's already kind of intrigued by her since people almost never actually agree with him, so I could have him IC contact her at some point soon?

[boobwindow]

I like their thread so far because Peej has teens on her team back home. THOUGH SHE PRESENTED HERSELF AS KAREN... she might try to keep an eye out for her due to someone else she wanted to do that for dying and because Manaka is adorable and sweet (and hideous) and I want this CR a lot.

[beastofasister]

Yes, I'm digging their thread a lot too! In a way where I sit there going oh no it's cute in horror because Manaka is secretly hideous, admittedly, but.

ANYWAY, I would also like this CR a lot! I really like adults trying to look out for Manaka or otherwise mentor her, even (especially?) if she just ignores them 90% of the time and continues to barrel down the path she has already decided on.

(Also, I was wondering if you'd be okay with adding me on Plurk? I meant to PP you this question yesterday but then I forgot, whoops.)

[boobwindow]

If Peej ever knew, she would try to talk her out of it. Keyword: try.

And sure! What's your Plurk username?

Re: Nyx | Manaka Sajou (Fate/Prototype)

[glowsferatu]

ngl i enjoy having my characters end up just oblivious enough to fall for acts like that, though maybe with the reveal being slow and way too complicated for them to just write the person off

plus hey, sometimes people gotta die, far as kanaya's concerned

[beastofasister]

That is completely doable, seeing as Manaka's motivations are both very specific and very absent in the setting. Even in canon, when Manaka first goes "idgi why would it be bad to kill someone if it's the quickest way to accomplish something," the person she's speaking to initially writes it off because she's young! And she obviously doesn't know better because of her upbringing! And she can't really be a bad person, look at her caring for her sister!!

[glowsferatu]

kanaya's got a bit more cultural influences on the subject, since the way they handle things where she comes from is usually just cutting the problem off at the head. literally. she's a bit more restrained than some on that point, as she usually keeps it to big problems, but she's still an angry girl with a chainsaw who doesn't see a problem with using it.

[satsujinki]

hi manaka

i've brought some chaos

[beastofasister]

Yes, good.

Anything in particular you want to do, or do you just want to throw them together in a room and see what happens?

[satsujinki]

Well, since I have no idea how it might actually go down, a random thread would be for the best until more coherent thoughts flow into my brain box.
