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!

Eliza is a harmless well-adjusted human with zero tragic backstory BUT

LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT HER NECROMATIC FAMILIARS

• Lori, a flower-drake: a complete skeleton, but a few parts were from other specimens.
• Isildur & Isolde, a pair of dragon-wolves: Isildur is all from one individual, but Isolde is a mix of multiple specimens— from the same site as Isildur's though, so probably packmates.
• Tiberius, a Greater Coastal dragon: an incomplete skeleton from multiple individuals.

None of them have any memory of their past lives, because their souls were too degraded by age to have any solid attachment remaining beyond "this species soul goes to that species skeleton". Their souls are also hiveminded mishmashes of whatever fragments chose to answer the summoning and shuffle together to make a new dragon— This hodgepodge is normal for her necromancy! It's whatever soul(s) OPTS to coalesce rather than grabbing for one specific individual (trying to revive a known person/animal with memories and all intact is considered UNETHICAL BAD PRACTICE). Pieces of Eliza's own soul are used to hold the parts together, and as familiars that bond is permanent— they all share magic back-and-forth between them.
