Jupiter ♃ Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls ☇ Not Reserved
Nickname: Jisu
Age: 23
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact: AIM - ColorKidLalaPink; Plurk - jisusushi; Email - titaniaindigo at gmail dot com
Characters Played: Kiryuu Kaoru, Nanami Lucia, Mila Kawena
Character Info:
Name: Jupiter
Age: 4.5 billion years, but she's physically young enough to comfortably refer to herself as a "girl" yet old enough to drive. Since Milky Way is officially physically fifteen, we'll go with sixteen.
Canon: Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls
Pull Point: Present day.
Background Info:
History: Do I seriously have to go through all 4.5 billion years? We'll be here forever and a lot of it's really boring. Anyway, Jupiter is an anthropomorphic personification of the planet. She both is Jupiter and lives on Jupiter, kind of like a Hetalia character. According to Lauren Faust's official blog posts, she meets up with Milky Way, our main character, when Milky visits the solar system for the first time and promptly screws everything up by breaking a small planetoid in which Black Hole -- an evil anthropomorphic black hole, naturally -- was sealed to keep it from eating everything. All of the planets -- Pluto included, she still considers herself one -- as well as the Sun and Moon work together to retrieve all the fragments; this is what would be the plot of the series (although said series has been in development hell for what, six years?), with Milky, Venus, Mars, Pluto, and Jupiter as the main five.
After that, they just end up being friends and hanging around a lot. In-character blog posts and art posts reflect current events, as well as randomly pointing out things that would be of interest to the characters. Again, it's a lot like the setup of Hetalia that way, only with science instead of national stereotypes.
Go read all this stuff.
Personality: Jupiter is, well, a hippie. She meditates, wears flared pants and a scarf around her head, speaks slowly and happily, and peppers her speech with "like", "y'know", and sixties slang. She's described as a granola girl by the official site and it's true -- she even drives a shaggin' wagon. A hybrid approved shaggin' wagon that can somehow sustainably jet-pack through space. She doesn't call it that, but that's what it is.
She isn't one of those lazy types who just preaches the whole social justice warrior thing without research and then proceeds to live a normal life, though. Jupiter helps charities whenever she can and often organizes events to clean up space after astronauts leave garbage floating around. She doesn't blindly buy stuff with "organic" on the label, either; she does her research and shares it with her friends, too. All in all, more hippie than hipster -- Ceres is the hipster here -- and she likes it that way.
Jupiter is a little spacey, though, and yes, I should be thrown out a window for that pun. Not as bad as Mars, but she can be found having deep metaphysical conversations with birds at the bus stop. She also can't resist helping out some poor creature in need or another -- she has almost seventy pets at home, orbiting her planet (each is a personification of one of her moons, plus at least some other features -- the Southern Equatorial Belt is one). It can get a little chaotic, but she keeps calm and runs the whole situation easily, making sure all the animals get along. She even gives them little space helmets and jet packs so she can take some of them with her when she goes somewhere.
She will also try to get you to meditate with her. If you don't, that's okay. But the offer is up there. Be one with the universe, cosmic soulmates.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Priestess
Justification: The entire franchise has an undercurrent of "power of the feminine" and the notion that girls can be whatever they very well feel like instead of feeling pigeonholed as the girly-girl or rebelling against that and instantly being pigeonholed as the tomboy instead. Jupiter hits a lot more points of the Priestess herself. She consistently seeks inner peace and knowledge of the universe, and she can go on about being in harmony with existence for hours. Everything she does is because of what she feels is right rather than what's easy to do, and she wants to make the galaxy a better place. She does have an impulsive and short-sighted side as well -- sixty-some pets, really?
Samples:
First Person Sample:
Dudes and dudettes, check it. So, Earth's a pretty swingin' place so far, but, like, a girl like me needs exploration even if space travel's out, right? And the dudes who kidnapped us yanked my jet-powered roller skates. I'm dealing without shoes, but a lot of places won't let you in without 'em, y'know? I don't want to be scared of stepping on glass, either. Anyone know where to grab some?
Oh! While I'm here, there's gotta be someone up for meditation circles, right? It's important to be one with the universe even if you're in the wrong one. After all, this Persona thing's, like, your mind, y'know?
♃
Third Person Sample:
She was going to need a bigger room.
Jupiter had only been around for a few days, and had only been able to bring one of her pets, and while she loved Io, the dog was getting pretty lonely without his friends. (How many pets did she have at home? It was sixty-three moons at last count, plus Seb -- he kept wandering off -- but then she found those other three adorable space mice and she just had to take them in...) To be fair, she'd had billions of years to accumulate all those pets at home, but Prospero was brand new territory, and when both she and her dog were feeling a little isolated, cardboard boxes on corners with dogs or cats or turtles -- yes -- seemed easier and easier to come by.
She wondered if the hotel owner would notice or mind. So far he hadn't complained. Far out.
She was going to have to get an apartment or house at this rate, though. Or at least ask for her Solar Wagon back the next time they got things from home. Plenty of space in that.
