PING SURVEY/PERMISSIONS
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!

anyway the reason I was dying of laughter was the "demigod of the concept of scars" thing because Kaiko's previous body/the one the she reverts to under certain circumstances is incredibly scarred up; she was essentially a frankensteinian construct so she had/has all the seams and stuff, and also a bundle of self-esteem issues to go with. IDK if Kiri would be pinged by that in return but if so! HELLA SCARS

you already know I'm hype for these interactions but I want to give you some more deets—
Because Keiko has such a strong connection to scars on her own, Kiri has a lot more to work with when it comes to working miracles on her ("miracles" being the term for basically any use of Nobilis powers); for starters, she will absolutely be able to sense that there is some kind of connection between herself and Keiko, even if (since she's beginning without her memories of being the Power of Scars) she won't initially understand why. Beyond that, one of her most easily accessed abilities allows her to literally inhabit the scars of others, which means she gets to learn all sorts of personal history stuff at the expense of literally living through the trauma of it (kind of via giant first-person flashback sequence). SO if you wanna play with that~
