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!

She is shadowed by a massive curse but not actually affected by it--she just is a little bit tainted by it because it's her mother's fault. Also she had to. kill and drain her mom because said mom was driven insane by the curse and was a paranoid tyrant who was dooming the world. She hasn't taken any joy in it but as a princess then queen of a cursed magical kingdom she probably has residue of some of the Shit that's gone down in there. Also her kind are not, uh, well-liked outside the Black Forest and she's feared for being creepy undead! It's. It's a lot.
Naeva also pings as magical, which will increase as she regains more of her powers!
ALSO I FORGOT BUT SHE CAN, SMELL MAGIC...idk if you wanna mess with that though.
no subject
anyway re: smelling magic mmmmmaybe? I usually roll with it as Kaiko's brand of power being specifically spiritual rather than magical, if that makes any sense whatsoever :'D so if in Naeva's setting the two are closely related or she's able to smell ghosts/gods she'd def be able to pick up on that but otherwise probably not.
That said, Kaiko flat out doesn't smell human or really living- her base scent is mostly petrichor and ozone with hints of dust and brickwork (and at the moment there are hints of old blood and graveyard dirt, which will go away when/if she gets her shit together lmao) so there's a lot of other fun stuff Naeva could definitely pick up on.
no subject
blood. scent....
no subject
anyway! in that case she smells overwhelmingly of really bad news ghost. like the kind that typically sits in one place and fucks up everyone that gets within range just because it's too crazy mad to not. more benign god smells are buried under that; she's a little bit undifferentiated because she's basically a baby but so far her domains are basically artificial life (which overlaps into like... the concept of energy that has been harnessed for a purpose, which in practice is mostly electricity) and revenge/karmic justice. IDK HOW MUCH OF THIS NAEVA WOULD BE ABLE TO PICK UP DETAILS OF lmk if you need more!
no subject
but she also is an idiot who doesn't care and will pick up the cursed god corpse and carry her off to grandma at her because Naeva got no chill only grandma
