PING SURVEY/PERMISSIONS

[ghostfromthemachine]

Goodness it's been a while since I've had to do one of these. Anyway, Kaiko gets some pretty specific pings that are not always easy for me as a player to work out, so if you plan on tagging her filling this out would be doing me a huge favor— particularly if you're not playing someone I can wiki or whatever!

If your character is a ghost or other kind of undead, artificial in some way (mechanical or biological. cyborgs also count), full of VENGEANCE or just unfairly wronged in general, bad at emotional honesty with themselves, or has a tragic backstory of the I HURT PEOPLE I LOOOOVED/shunned by the people around me type, let me know please! You don't have to go into detail; Kaiko is a baby so her ability to actually tell pings apart is next to nonexistent. They all just sort of strike her as "hey this person has something interesting going on!"

(If you want to go on for a while about what's up with your character anyway, though, I am not stopping you. I love juicy details, give them to me.)

ALTERNATELY: If your character has a history of murder or hurting other people for shitty reasons (enjoyment, making themselves feel powerful, etc.), particularly if it was tied up in other types of crime (theft, extortion, sexual assault, etc.), that is an entirely separate ping that will get her attention fast, though she won't necessarily do anything about it she isn't provoked. (Of course, if you would in fact like her to do something about it, give me a list of their crimes and we can work something out :)) Or, if you don't want her to noticing that your character has done unpleasant things, let me know! I don't want to ruin anybody's fun.

...I know this a lot of assorted fiddly stuff, so thank you!

oh boy. i'll just go over everyone.

Camilla Spiritually pings as a demon! She also eats and tortures and otherwise is horrible to humans in particular but basically everyone to some degree. She is however totally not conflicted about this and thinks it's a-ok so she wouldn't ping as having emotional issues.

Guren (hewhofightsmonsters) is undead (a vampire) and has Boatloads of issues wrt not being able to protect people, being Very Angry about being oppressed or badly hurt in various forms, and sucks at dealing with his troubled feelings a lot. He's a lot of self-hate and other bad shit under heavy pressure.

Ein (grazing) is a human brain inside a mecha with an extra robot body. He is also CRAZY ABOUT VENGEANCE and basically lived for months purely to KILL THE PEOPLE WHO KILLED HIS MENTOR. Now he lives to kill the people who hurt his bff. He's also half martian in a world where martians are an oppressed class so the foundation of his vengeance issues is "everyone was mean to be for being part martian and no one loved me until this One Paternal Figure who then was killed by ungrateful martian children that he tried to be nice to".

Aymeric (reformational) is a pure maiden I'm sorry. He has very little except maybe the habit of putting aside his wants and needs as a person in favor of dedicating himself to duty and his country, and that he's carrying the weight of people who've died under his command as a leader. He's also the elf pope's bastard by a lowborn woman and had to deal with being looked down on for that but he was adopted by an emotionally healthy rich family so he really has not had it that hard comparatively.

so what I'm getting here is I needed to tag Ein like the instant you introed him holy hell, that is some kaiko catnip right there.

Guren is also going on the "idiots to bully" list :3c

[avidus]

yes, p much. Ein's a good bad robot boy. Guren also always needs bullying, it's what he exists for.
