Welcome to the October OOC intro & CR post! Use the following forms below to introduce yourself, as well as your character (s). Find players to plot with or simply pop in to drop a friendly hello!
The game is officially open, feel free to start posting to the comms! There will be a NPC Network post that will be going up shortly, but no need to wait for that! Have fun!
Contact: madrinabastet Discord: Millaa Maxwell#1225 | can other players add you?? Yes! Info: I am sort of new to DWRP, having only joined 2 years ago. My RL friends got me into it with their sandbox game. I like video games (FFXIV, DRAKENIER SERIES, Tales Of), anime (though I need to watch some new ones. Reccommendations appreciated!) Shows I'm watching are, The Witcher, The Magicians, Shadow and Bone. I want to see a bunch of the marvel tv shows but I don't have Disney+. I draw sometimes too.
I work 11-12 hour days as a Veterinary Assistant, but I love my job. It just makes tagging slow sometimes.
Kainé
Canon: NieR: Replicant v. 1.22... (The remake) Age: 22 (she's post timeskip) Permissions: Link Info: Kainé is foul mouthed, violent and crass, but she has a hidden soft side for those who can earn her hard won trust. If your character is one of these, she will die for them. She had a rough childhood being bullied and ostracized from her village for being intersex (canon lists it as 'hermaphrodite') and then losing the one person who ever cared about her to a Shade attack, and getting possessed herself by a Shade in the aftermath. She dresses inl ingerie and heels and covers her Shade portions with bandages. Soulmate(s): I will be looking to plot with people being soulmates. She wouldn't look because she had low self esteem and wouldn't think anyone would want to be her soulmate. I, on the other hand am welcoming the whole surprise angle to make her soulmates be awkward, romantic, friends. Whatever! I love this mechanic. Shadow: Her shadow is going to team up with Tyrann, the Shade possessing her and then betray him when it comes down to one or the other gaining control. It will try to bring out Kainé's darker urges, but also berate her. Plotting: Friends, rivals, found family, romantic ships, even fwb. Pretty much any CR is welcome. It would be great to have someone to explore the Shadowlands with. Maybe to quest with? Kainé probably will claim a place in the city but won't stay there often, instead chosing to camp outside. She doesn't believe she belongs among most people. I'd like to have her meet people who can change her opinion of herself and basically give her nice things because she's never had that before. Visuals:
So she's former human who got kidnaped as a kid, merged with a cat monster and was paraded around as an attraction. Before being brought by a drunk guy because 'his mistress likes kittens!'. Said mistress spent years trying to teach this feral monster child to not bite people or run away.
As of the current point...She's ran off and is free. But she's slightly less feral and talks instead of just animal noises. She's also a sulky bully.
She's not that bad. She's just bad at people and steals food, as long as her personal space isn't breached it should be fine.
It really is a miracle she can talk so well. I'm thinking it'll snark buddies/rivals but we'll see. She does an easier time attaching to ladies because mom issues. Like when they ran into succubus it gave up on trying to seduce her and tried turning into a middle-aged lady to mom her instead...
I heard exploration and came running! Kaito is a pretty solitary type so his affinity with other loners tends to be a bit stronger than regularly-adjusted folks. Chalk it up to also self-persecuting himself into thinking he doesn't belong among regular people
But also he'll (ironically, yes) be right there to start planting the seeds of "hey actually you're probably fine and can make good friends with the normies"
Free side of him giving advice while blatantly not following it is optional but encouraged, I love letting my son be a hypocrite
Hahaha! Kainé can be a hypocrite at times too. She claims she doesn't like people but really she's lonely. He sounds like the exact type she'd end up feeling secure around and befriending since they share similar experiences I guess?
Kainé mainly things he sdoesn't belong because she's afraid she'll hurt someone with her being Shade possessed in addition to what she's been told her entire life (That she's a freak)
Sure we could have them meet up and maybe explore a bit? Once Kainé finds a more safe location (if she needs to stay near the city) she'll probably make a camp outside. He's welcome to come bother her there lol
Yeah! Brusque on the outside, Really McFuckin Lonely on the inside, and thinking they're a burden/problem/dangerous for other people at the core. I definitely see Kaito warming up to her out of those shared core traits.
I'm still getting to know all the worldbuilding and the other players, so I don't have any super concrete plans for Kaito yet. That means I can be flexible and throw him at Kainé whenever she digs her heels in and makes camp.
and also maybe he can make them food because if there's anything Kaito does to cope with Crazy Stuff happening, it's cooking
Are you canon familiar with Nier? Kainé likes to eat. She and her companions were supposed to go on a journey after everything was said and done and Kainé said she was gonna eat more than her share so Nier better be ready to pony up lol.
Yeah! I didn't personally play Replicant, but I watched a playthrough a few years ago. lmfao Kainé can eat as much as she wants, so long as Kaito has ingredients he'll play buffet chef and make Everything
rachel is pretty polite but also a huge liar and resents the strong (which kaine is), so im really curious how she'd play off kaine!
these two are both also intially open to soulmates (rachel is defs gunning to find one from day 1) but obvs i think it's best to feel out dynamics before any commitment ^^)b
Ofc it would def require feeling out to see how the characters interact. I'm just like, how is Kainé gonna realize someone wants to be her soulmate? Lol trying to figure out a reason for her to post on the Tinder thing.
canon familiar with automata, and some aspects of replicant (always meant to get around to it, but i remember the basic gesalt/shadowking stuff). what ive seen of kaine is very charming.
nodsnods. even if that doesnt work out rachel is at least a character who would be willing to impress the need of soulmates on others cuz she's someone who needs to rely use other people to get what she wants. if thats a fun/helpful lead in for kaine looking into them more id be happy to play smth like that!
'Charming' ahaha sure. But no, you should totally watch a lets play or play Replicant yourself. I played the OG and play her in Noctium from there 'cuz I played her before the remake. But there's so much hidden banter you just GOTTA hear.
On another note, I'd die if a Weiss showed up in this game lol. I would scream if a Nier showed up heh.
Kainé is weak to people being nice to her, so if Rachel does that she'll encounter Kainé's soft, socially awkward side lol.
come gain confidence and self-appreciation by dealing with this nerd. it's totally good and healthy (and might also lead to bad ideas, but that's fine)

Sounds like an interesting story. It's good she talks too. I imagine it would be hard to play a character who only used animal noises to communicate.
Do you think she's the type Kainé would adopt? Or more of a rival?

I was hoping it could be an accidental thing too.
