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!

PT 1: Devil, which might hit one of those. His tragic backstory is, uh, not those, but he did kill his father and that can absolutely be classed as vengeance due to being unfairly wronged (child abuse based on him looking like his mother). He also hates/wants vengeance against someone else from his own world, but it's not as strong as it could be bc they finally fought again (it's also not as weak as it could be bc said person killed the shit out of Froud and didn't go the route he wanted) - also that one was definitely a fair wrong, so. He's also theoretically good at emotional honesty with himself, but he's garbage at recognizing emotions that fall under the category of grief/sadness/trauma/etc so there's also that.

PT 2: Froud used to be a serial killer when he was human, and genuinely thought until like, a couple months back, that people generally enjoyed dying. As in, that it made them happy. This is something he's thought for probably thousands of years. He's done things like extort villages into giving him human (...well, ribika) sacrifices so he could eat them, and particularly savored their fear. HE ALSO JUST LIKES KILLING PEOPLE. He's pretty certainly sexually assaulted people before, particularly in the context of intending to eat them.

pretty sure this is everything but the fact that i'm not 100% sure should speak volumes as to how messed up he is

edit: also as you can probably gather from all of this, he's pretty unstable when you get right down to it. not sure if that actually hits any of her pings but yeah
