Welcome to Annexed, new and old players alike! This is just a little spot to get to know each other and make some plans for CR or plotting. Please fill out the form below and post your answers in a comment!
Name: Revise Contact:reviseleviathan Alright to Add? Yes Time Zone: AEST (UTC+10) Tagging Speed/Preferences: I'm usually about a once a day tagger, but I can go faster depending on whether I'm at work or not or what have you. About Me: Mid-20s, besides rping I occasionally write fic and draw, I became a fashion person (tm) in the last couple of years so I often clothespost on plurk or make beaded jewellery, canon-wise I'm mostly big into music canons at the moment with the fixation of the hour/last couple of years being IDOLiSH7, but Macross, Symphogear and a couple of others float around that also.
Character
Character Name: Mikumo Guynemer Canon: Macross Delta Canon Point: Postcanon/end of episode 26 (which won't be postcanon much longer since the sequel movie comes out on DVD in like a month and a half but hey) Age: Mikumo's a clone with some extra tweaks, so she's physically and mentally equivalent to a 20 year old, but she's actually 3 and sometimes makes deadpan jokes about it once people find out.
About My Character: Mikumo is the lead singer of Walkure, a "tactical sound unit" (welcome to Macross) whose songs have a special property that soothe Var Syndrome, a sudden-onset condition that drives people into berserk, violent rages and can end in entire cities killing each other or dying from the burnout in worst case scenarios. Mikumo happens to be an artificial human literally designed for this position, but also a clone of an ancient priestess called the Star Singer who had ungodly broken music powers that could turn entire galaxies into a singular hive mind with the right relics to amplify her voice. She comes fresh off the back of being taken captive by the Windermerean royal family, who happened to have the Star Singer's command phrase since she was originally left to their ancestors, being used to kill a fleet of tens of thousands of space army soldiers via song brainwashing and having them detonate their weapons on themselves, and then almost turning the galaxy into a hive mind before Walkure and Delta Flight (the fighter pilot squad that accompany them) saved her. So that's fun.
CR I'm Looking For: Pretty much anything, Mikumo needs friends because pretty much her only friends in canon are through work so making them again is going to be An Adventure. Given that, people who are fairly easy to befriend are always helpful, and she'll get on well with battlefield types. Plots I'm Looking For: Mikumo eventually getting close enough to people to reveal the artificial human thing or people sussing out something weird about her because she'll say she has no memories beyond the last 3 years before she admits it to anyone. Also her figuring out her new powers since all her old ones came baked in so she's going to need some time to get on top of those.
Character Arc Ideas: Mikumo comes from a bit of a turning point in canon as far as discovering her identity goes - she was very focused on work and professional stuff initially, but starts to lighten up and bond more with her bandmates towards the end of canon. I intend to continue that and give her a chance to explore more of what her identity is outside of work things here, and also in isolation from the Star Singer identity since she'll be Chipped for a while and won't have access to her powers.
Other: you ever just backflip off a railing to prove a point
He's not a clone. (They never though to ret-con that in at least) But he is a kid who's been weaponized pretty much since infancy. So he can kinda understand the whole "So I'm totally created for a purpose" thing, because it's effectively him as well.
Plus he's like a slightly less grumpy Messer.lol
Did you want their thread to be canon? I've kinda been going for "I'm going to assume it's canon unless stated otherwise" but figure outright asking is probably a better idea.
I'm good with keeping their thread as game canon! They seem to be getting on pretty well already, so I'm definitely interested in furthering their CR and seeing where things go from here.
Could possibly be interesting to thread Mikumo and Link sometime, seeing as he actually is an amnesiac and will totally think that this is a thing they have in common.
That could be an interesting time, Mikumo might feel slightly weird about making him think they have it in common but hey, she does technically have some repressed and semi-forgotten memories of the person she was cloned from in there somewhere that she can't get to easily.
Hi, I'm super enjoying the exaggerated mental gymnastics Codi is putting herself through in their TDM thread together and would love to keep that canon, wherever that ends up going. I think planning beyond that will depend on how far they take their respective posturing BUT I'm really looking forward to it regardless of the outcome!
Honestly the easiest way to break Mikumo's posturing is to expose her to something she hasn't experienced before that's a bit of a short sharp shock, so it'll likely happen eventually! But I'm definitely up for keeping that canon, it's an interesting way to start CR.
Erza is not a clone, but he doesn't have friends who are clones! Not sure he thought too deeply about the fact they looked grandpa aged but were only like 10-15 years older than him, tho.
I'm always up for gathering people who have some familiarity with clones, so at least Mikumo doesn't have to explain too much whenever she's actually willing to admit to it. At least she doesn't have to worry about clones being against galactic treaties here, probably.

Either way, could be fun to throw them at each other and see what happens.

I'm up for it! I want to bounce her off plenty of different characters anyway since she's not so used to socialising.
