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!

wheeze okay I don't even know how to respond here without just explaining literally her entire character and backstory so uhh I guess I'll do that as short as I can. TL;DR Kaoru has been a very powerful psychic since she was very young without realizing it, powerful enough that even average humans with no supernatural talents could sense something off about her. Naturally this meant everyone she ever interacted with was unnerved and freaked out by her and didn't even really know why. She was bullied a lot, people spread rumors about her being a witch who could kill with a look, her parents rejected and feared her, etc etc, which all culminated in her mom calling for a literal demon hunter to come and murder her because she thought her daughter was The Actual Devil. Kaoru was like. MAYBE 12 or 13 when this happened.

SO she was like...okay...I guess if everyone thinks I'm a monster I'll just be a monster then!!! And she gathered up a group of lesser psychics to serve her and started sending them out to hunt down and kill every other magic person they could find because uhhhhh life is pain and they're better off dead, probably, and honestly, they should be THANKING her for SPARING THEM the SUFFERING OF LIFE [citation needed]. But really it's mostly because she's an angry, angry, little girl who kinda just wants someone to step up and kill her already.

And now in Aurora she doesn't even have any of her powers so like...lol.
