V/V | Angel Notes | Re-app

[personal profile] heavenscorpse 2012-07-19 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Info:
Nickname: Mini
Age: 19
Personal LJ: [personal profile] misheard
Method of Contact: Misheard on Plurk
Characters Played: Ryuunosuke Uryuu, Ledah Rozwelli, and Issei Ryudo

Character Info:
Name: V/V
Age: In this body with knowledge and a will, five years or less. As Type-Venus (the strongest being from Venus, sent by the planet to destroy humans), an indeterminate amount of time spent without a will.
Canon: Angel Notes
Pull Point: Before Godo leaves to fight Type-Saturn.

Background Info:
History: A summary. Thanks, TV Tropes. Here's another summary:
-Earth dies. Before it dies, it sends a distress signal.
-Other planets send their strongest beings there to destroy the humans who are still alive.
-This guy named Godo shoots this monstrous thousand-meter-long thing threatening humanity (Type-Venus).
-The corpse of this being is able to support life, and he and most of the rest of humanity live on top of it.
-Five years later, this angel chick (V/V) shows up in Godo's house and decides to become a freeloader.
-Godo later asks what the heck that was about and V/V explains the first two bullet points, as well as how she was created out of Type-Venus's body and everyone's hopes and dreams.
-Godo gets killed in the glossary.
Personality: As a being from Venus who is only now possessed of even the idea of 'knowledge', V/V knows literally nothing. She has to ask what revenge is, cannot cook, clean, or fend for herself, and understands little about the world she's on at first. She gets better at all this in time (although she remains terrible at playing the guitar) but still is heavily innocent.

This is probably because of what she is. As a being comprised of the thoughts of those who live where her corpse landed, she has the appearance of an 'angel' because that's the closest equivalent to what she was on Venus. Since the picture of an angel should be beautiful and innocent, that's the impression she gives. She's very hard to get down even after being thrown out of a window. Her thoughts are simple, but pure-hearted, and she deeply loves humanity and the city built on her body.

She asks many questions about what she doesn't understand (which is a lot), and regards Godo with great affection because he was the one to kill her.

Game Specific:
Arcana: Death
Justification: New chance at life: Type-Venus's corpse is the only place on the Land of Steel that can now naturally support life. V/V herself was given a new life after being killed by the thoughts of the people in the place she landed.
The end of something that has served its purpose: Type-Venus was called to destroy humanity after the Earth reached her natural end and humanity wasn't supposed to outlive her.
Fear of change, a painful transition: the death of the Earth has meant terrible things for the existence of life on the planet. V/V herself now strongly doesn't want humans to die, even though they're doomed.

Samples:
First Person Sample:
This isn't my body. It isn't even the body I had before this body. And the sky is blue and not dark.

I don't know what's going on. Everything is bright, there are plants and animals... It's a wonderful place, but I don't see any A-rays, just people who look like Godo. Are they really all pure humans?

...I wonder what happened to the people living on my body, if I've left. I don't think I know how to dream, so I must have left.

Third Person Sample:
V/V tilts her head to one side as she watches the passerby outside the hotel room. Everything out there is strange and unfamiliar. All of the people are pure humans, with no beastmen and no angel A-rays. The sun is shining; plants are growing naturally on a living planet.

Everyone she asked about it looked at her strangely. It was difficult enough trying to understand the Land of Steel when she was only gaining a consciousness. She now has to wonder how she's going to understand Earth after barely learning about the Land of Steel after just gaining a consciousness.

It looks exciting.

She leaves the door open to her room on the way out. She has no idea what she's doing, but it should be a change from wondering about the fate of humanity.
