chαrαctєr rσutєs-
These routes are generally how I feel about my characters and the threads that they're in. I'm a sucker for happy endings, but lately, I've been trying to branch out and do more with my characters and their stories.
➽➽➽ Route a- The happy ending. Okay character growth and development. Generally used for lighter, fluffier story-lines with less conflict. ➽➽➽ Route b- The “Goldilocks” ending. It's just right. Decent character growth for stories with more serious conflicts. ➽➽➽ Route c- The “bad” ending. Excellent character development and growth.

「 STRENGTHS 」 Minagi is well trained in martial arts by the best tutors that her father could employ. Her knowledge of the use of polearms is nearly unmatched by those in Hua'mu. She is a diplomat, and prefers to solve disagreements through diplomatic means rather than the use of unnecessary fighting. Words are strong weapons, and she likes to think herself an eloquent person.
「 WEAKNESSES 」 Machiavellian to her core, Minagi is very cunning and ambitious; she is willing to manipulate and exploit others to achieve the goals that she has for Hua'mu. A bit of an idealist, she often times worries too much about the little things that she loses sight of the big picture.
「 APPEARANCE 」 A tall woman who carries herself with the poise of someone of royal blood. She oftentimes wears her platinum colored hair pinned away from her almond-shaped hazel eyes or in a loose fishtail braid.
5'8 │ 173 cm HAIR COLOR │ BLONDE
150 lbs │ 68 kg EYE COLOR │ HAZEL; brown flecked with green
「 BIOGRAPHY 」 The first born daughter of the Emperor of Hua'mu, she has been raised with a certain amount of privilege. She's never wanted for anything as her father was willing to grant her her whatever she wanted within reason. From the moment she turned sixteen, he attempted to present her with suitors- thus far, she was able to turn them all away or scare them off by playing pranks on them. She was far more interested in building Hua'mu in her own vision- without the corrupt advisors. She wants to keep their borders open rather than have them remain closed as they've been for the past several hundred years. She wants Hua'mu to catch up with the other nations in terms of technology so that they don't fall too far behind.
「 TRIVIA 」 - Her favorite game to play with suitors is to tell them that the only way that she will marry them is if they catch the feral cat with the key around its neck and bring her the key. - She cannot swim and has a fear of large bodies of water that she can't see the bottom of - Marriage is low on her list of goals as her love is for her people and her kingdom.

Hanne is a tall girl with chartreuse curls that frame her small face. Her hair is worn down unless she's practicing her trade skill, and then her hair is worn up and out of her eyes. She often has her head in the clouds- lost in her own world as she dreams about her steam powered inventions that she makes while under the tutelage of a master craftsman that immigrated from An'elle when he married his wife. She's got a knack for tinkering, and even if something fails, she always takes it as a lesson to learn from. Even failed inventions are seen as a success in learning to her. One of her dreams is to create a transportation system that spans the 7 unified kingdoms- should Hua'mu ever open their borders to outsiders.
She often speaks in a soft, low register of her voice which does raise a few octaves if she's truly excited about something. Her build is svelte and betrays the true amount of muscle that she does have as her slender build might not suggest she's able to lift and carry heavy objects without help. Her hands are rough and calloused and betray her artisan skills rather than her royal lineage.

On the outside looking in, Hanne seems to be the perfect replication of the Guo Dynasty's genetics. Her mother- the queen- and her father- the king- of Estrye were known for making beautiful and talented offspring. She followed after her brother Alois and her sister Cyrus- forever to be lost in the shadow of their greatness as she was the third-born and amounted to very little in the eyes of their father who only sought to procreate and have as many children as he could with his wives and concubines. To make up for the lack of attention as she grew up, Hanne became a trouble maker; she enjoyed stirring the pot and causing fights amongst her siblings as she sat back and watched it all unfold.
However, appearances can be deceiving, and Hanne's story is not so picturesque and clear-cut. As a toddler, her older siblings ignored her, and so her only friend was the maid that was ordered to look after her. The maid took her eyes off of the adventurous babe for but a moment, and the beautiful child had fallen into a pond of water and drowned. To make up for her grievous mistake that she would undoubtedly be put to death for, she paid a beggar woman for her child who was very similar to build and appearance of the toddler she had been caring for. The only problem was, this child was a boy rather than a girl. The maid forced the boy to appear as the dead princess- telling them never to speak of their past or something terrible would happen to them. The king and queen never paid attention to many of their children, and so the death of their real child never came to light.
Rather than face the wrath of their caretaker, the child kept their mouth shut and their head down. They assumed Hanne's identity and fell into it easily. She didn't mind being referred to as a woman, and actually preferred it over being forced to be masculine. Though, she grew envious of her "older siblings" as she saw that they seemed to look down at the rest of them who had to work harder for everything they had. As angry as it made her, she only strove to work harder to make an impact and potentially gain their father's attention and love. She detests Alois and Cyrus for acting like they're better and for living their lives with silver spoons in their mouths.
She apprenticed under an inventor that had immigrated from An'elle after he married the woman that he fell in love with. She was a lesser noble born in the Empire of Hua'mu. The two of them taught Hanne all the tools of the trade that she needed to know, and instilled a love of tinkering that she hadn't known that existed within her before. The girl became one of the best inventors- believing even a failure is a learning experience.
Her father grew tired of her wild antics around five years ago, and forced upon her a lady in waiting in hopes that it would quiet the wildness within her. Though it was not to be as Hanne often convinced Willa to go along with her crazy schemes- getting them both into hot water. She's come to see Willa as her best friend and confidant as she believes that she can tell the blueberry girl anything and everything that she needs to say. The past trauma from her days as a toddler has come back in full force as nightmares and night-terrors, but she's not said anything for fear of worrying Willa.

“My brother would never say it, but he thinks me an insufferable child who is always in his way. He and Cyrus have never had time for the rest of us, and we might as well be the dirt on the bottom of his boots. They were trained and chosen for greatness, and the rest of us have to struggle just to have any potential claim to the throne. I hate to think myself better than anyone, but I've had to work twice as hard to be noticed for my accomplishments while Alois is fed with a silver spoon. We may seem cordial as siblings, but I'm only biding my time before I can ruin his reputation. I do love him as my brother, but if I had a glass of water, and he was on fire, I'd rather drink the water.” Level of Friendship Level of Attraction Level of Romance Level of Distrust
“The 'Golden Child'. The one who will succeed our father when he dies or gives up his throne. Cyrus and I both have the same mother, so I've just as every right to the throne as she does, but our father is stuck in his ways and believes women have no claim to rule. He's groomed Cyrus to be exactly what he wants her to be- the male heir he doesn't have. The poor girl is so brainwashed into thinking she has no choice but to give in to father's demands.

A slender boy from the southern provinces of Hua'mu can often be seen pouring over books and texts. Black calligraphy ink has left near permanent stains across his pale hands and wrists, but he's found that he rather likes that as for him, it's a sign that he's worked hard enough to earn his keep at a job that he more or less inherited after the man that took him in from the streets had passed.
Like most men from Hua'mu, he wears his hair long, and tied back away from his face. It accentuates perhaps his more feminine features, but he's found that he enjoys his appearance. Sen, despite having been given a uniform when he became the knowledge keeper for the royal family, greatly prefers the comfort of the fashion of southern Hua'mu where he was raised.

Sen and his family were once high ranking nobles in southern Hua'mu. Though, after the death of his mother who always held the purse strings, his mother went out and squandered their fortune in illegal gambling where he racked up far more debt than he could ever hope to pay for on his own. The man decided then and there that his children would pay his debt for him, but perhaps not in the way that people would expect. Rather than force the spoiled children into a demanding, laboring job, he instead, sold them to people who had less than pure intentions.
His sister, was sent away to a home where they trained young geisha. While he, was sent to a red-light district and trained to be an entertainer. There, they trained both young boys and girls to entertain the guests that came to stay. They weren't considered prostitutes as they did more than sell sex, and there was a ceremony before they could even take clients in that way. Sen was trained to be a pretty face and listen and perform for guests that came for strong liquor and beautiful people that took care of them. He thrived under this. He learned to write poetry- which was greatly enjoyed by the male guests that came to talk to him while he was still an apprentice. Sen had never forgotten his sister, though. He missed the girl dearly, and wished that he could one day reunite with her again.
Not too long after coming of age to take clients, Sen broke his ankle during a practice for a performance. It took a long time to heal properly, and the owner of the tavern decided that it would be for the best if they ended his contract. Sen was devastated that he'd lost something that he had enjoyed so greatly, but he was happy at the same time that he wouldn't be forced to sell his body for the rest of his life.
A kind client who had frequented his shows had found him wandering the streets the next day, and helped him regain his footing. He taught Sen about the rest of the world and some of their customs which enthralled him greatly. He divulged the fact that he was a historian that had worked with the current knowledge keeper of Hua'mu's royal family. Sen had heard about the Cha family that ruled over Hua'mu for the last several decades, but being of such low position as he was had never had a chance to interact with any of them. Once he was able to walk on his own and take care of himself, Sen left the company of the man that had given him such hospitality in search of the knowledge keeper that he'd been told of.
At first, he was turned away. The man seemed very unwilling to take on an apprentice, but Sen persisted, and finally, he gave in to the young, disheveled teenager that wanted more from his life than working as a prostitute. He demanded that Sen leave a piece of literature in exchange for the information he was about to bestow onto him. He stated that he must leave knowledge to receive it, and that stuck with him. He offered up the messy calligraphied poems that he'd written during his training, and he seemed more than pleased by that offering. The work was hard, and oftentimes boring, but he fell into it quickly- finding a knack for retaining information. He still had a limp from having broken his ankle, but he was able to keep up with the aging man as they traveled the world in search of information about other cultures.
Having no children of his own, the man took Sen under his wing and taught the boy how to read and write properly. He helped him regain his noble status as well. When Sen turned twenty-three, the man died of old age, and he was left alone in the vast library filled with tomes from across the seven kingdoms. He wasn't sure of what to do after his death as he felt there was still much more to learn. He's spent a great more deal of his life with words, ink, and paper than he has with other humans, and as such his people skills have somewhat deteriorated, but if someone is in need of help to find knowledge, then he will never turn them away. After the man passed, Sen took his surname as he felt much closer to a father figure to Sen then his own father ever did.

Kitty is an outspoken woman with somewhat of a cynical outlook on life. She has struggled with body image and her weight for as long as she could remember- even before she came out to the point that she has always been underweight for her height category due to strict diet. It only became worse upon her transitioning as the change in her hormones caused her a slight panic when she began to gain weight that she had trouble gaining before. Often, she prefers trendy or vintage clothing, but comfort is more important than anything else.
Her outward demeanor may come across as standoffish and distant, but she is an empathetic person, and will never hesitate to listen to someone else. The fear of her own emotions causes her to be slightly aloof.

Strengths ➽➽➽ Second Sight ; When touching (or someone touching her) via skin to skin contact, she may be able see, feel, and potentially another person's intentions, feelings, and desires. These are brief flashes, and the longer she holds onto someone, the stronger this channel becomes. ➽➽➽ Precognition ; Often in the form of dreams, but this ability does come in her waking moments as well. She can see small glimpses of future events. They are never clear visions- just snippets as if someone were cutting up photos or movies and splicing them together. ➽➽➽ Probability Alteration ; What she perceives as 'bad luck'. This is highly dependent on her emotional state. She is able to alter the probability that something will happen- such as something breaking or disappearing around her. If she had further control of her power, she would be able to do more than just this, but after losing her memory, she is unaware that this is one of her powers.
Weaknesses ➽➽➽ She has really terrible eyesight, and has to wear a very strong prescription of glasses or contact lenses due to her foresight. ➽➽➽ Dyscalculia ; she really struggles with any type of math or arithmetic. Even simple addition and subtraction is difficult. ➽➽➽ Her own emotional state is her biggest weakness. Despite attempting to remain aloof and deadpan outwardly, she does struggle with her own emotions at times. This has proven to be quite dangerous.

Before saving the world
Kitty was one of two children born into a broken marriage. The twins were separated at birth- one to live with their father and the other their mother as per an agreement. They were destined to never meet. She always felt half-empty as though there were a piece of her missing, but she could never truly understand why that was. Over time, it lessened, and when her Celestial formed a bond with her, that feeling had nearly disappeared entirely. It was about the time that she had come out to her mother and step-father- who showed an outpouring of love and support for her decision. Both her transition and her bond with the spirit made her feel like a ghost in all the groups that she had joined; she didn't like that she could suddenly feel everyone's emotions all the time- so much so that her own became drowned in the process.
The first incident with her powers manifesting occurred not too long after she switched schools. A group of her friends had asked her to come with them to a local cafe, and it was there that her closest friend broke the news to her that her girlfriend at the time had only asked her out as a joke. Understandably embarrassed, the tearful girl noticed that the more distress and unhappy that she felt, the more the lights flickered to the point where bulbs were bursting over their heads. It took a lot to calm her down, and when she finally stopped crying, many of the patrons cowered in fear.
Little Solace had become like a home to her, but now it just felt as though people only liked having those who'd forged bonds with the Celestials when the shadow creatures came into town. Kitty decided that she would do her best to harness her powers so that she was no longer controlled by unruly emotions; she wanted to control her powers- not the other way around. And when the dark mage decided to unleash his power, she did hesitate, but she was one of the ones who fought to keep people safe- knowing that she was sacrificing her life force to do so. Especially if it meant protecting the people that she loved.
After Saving the World
Kitty was one of the first ones to awaken from her coma. To her, everything was extremely overwhelming, and gaining control over her powers that were even stronger than before scared her. She hadn't even been aware that people could use these powers until she touched someone and was able to read every thought they had. They offered her a job working the radio tower in town, and she found that she was surprisingly good at it.
The instructions for the radio tower were very clear: the broadcast is to stop for no reason at all, and if she had to step away or sleep, she should make a playlist of songs and pre-record things like the weather or any calls- if any- that came in.

If one were to describe Effie, they might say that she always has her head in the clouds. Or that she's a clumsy ditz. Though, if they were to dig below that ditzy, sometimes clumsy exterior, they would find a girl who is far more intelligent and creative than people give her credit for. She refuses to acknowledge this if it is brought up, and truth be told, she'd rather people not know of her book-smarts. Effie doesn't like the spotlight or when people expect far too much from her. She knows that if people know that she's smart, then they expect things from her, and she fears that she'll never meet people's expectations.
She has a baby face framed with auburn colored hair that falls just to her shoulders. A multitude of freckles dot her heart-shaped face that only seem to darken from the sun. Effie hides her insecurities behind a happy smile and a bubbly personality. She prefers the outside than being cooped up in the house. Though, if she is inside, it's usually at a Starbucks somewhere sipping on an almond milk iced latte that she's almost never seen without.

Strengths ➽➽➽ Aura Manipulation - the ability to manipulate her aura rather than the energy around her. Skilled users of this may be able to create aura weapons or barriers, but as she is a novice at this, it only manifests itself as small, glittery aura blasts from her hands. The longer she uses this ability, the more draining it becomes on her body. If all of her aura is used, she will fall unconscious until the energy is replaced- whether from eating or from rest or both. ➽➽➽ Aura Detection - Effie can see the color and strength of other people's auras. She cannot manipulate them, however. ➽➽➽ Chi Duplicate - she is able to create one duplicate of herself with her aura. It is significantly weaker than her and has no abilities. This spell only lasts 10 minutes.
Weaknesses ➽➽➽ Effie has an increased metabolism. She can eat a large meal, and still be hungry in a few hours. She can eat anyone under the table and never gain weight from it. This, however, can become debilitating if not sated quickly. ➽➽➽ Her aura has a tendency to burn her if she expends too much of it or cannot control it.

♥ Cheesecake, raspberries, iced coffee/lattes, nerd-wear, DnD ☒ Not having privacy, people pointing out her eating habits, shoes, dairy ✧ ✧ ✧ Doodles in the corners of her notes and journals when she's thinking ✧ ✧ ✧ She's a closet nerd, and will stop at nothing to make sure no one finds out she plays DnD on the weekends- even going so far as to keep a lock on her journal that she always carries around ✧ ✧ ✧ She snorts when she truly laughs or laughs really hard, and tries (terribly) to cover it up.
t r í v í α ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ She's terribly lactose intolerant, and so she is usually seen with an almond milk iced latte rather than one made from milk. But you'll pry cheese from her cold, dead hands. ➽➽➽ Thinks her name is old-fashioned, and prefers to be called Effie or Euphie rather than Euphemia. ➽➽➽ Raspberry cheesecake is one of her major weaknesses. Want her to forgive you if you made her mad? Cheesecake. Want her to love you forever? Also cheesecake. ➽➽➽ Still dots her i's with hearts ➽➽➽ For many years, her locked journal has been her only privacy, and only true friend. ➽➽➽ Repeated a grade. Not because she's an idiot or doesn't care about her grades, but rather because she received an academic scholarship from Arcadia, and convinced her father she wanted to experience going to school with other girls her own age. ➽➽➽ She hates shoes, and prefers to go without. ➽➽➽ Effie eats at least 3000-5000 calories a day and has never gained a single pound.

Effie has lived a mostly reserved life after she began living with her father at the age of eight. He claims that her mother ran off with another woman and left the two of them behind. The two of them have moved from place to place every few years, and she became used to being on the go. It was always somewhere on the beach, and she came to love feeling the sand between her toes and the sun on her skin. Her father became a helicopter parent that pushed the girl to do better, and as a result she allowed her grades to remain average. His helicopter parenting style gave her little privacy, and she found herself turning to a journal that she kept secret from him in fear that he would take even that away. He disliked nerd culture, and so she kept her affinity for tabletop games a secret from him.
Then, they moved to San Junipero. It just felt right to be there. Her father had wanted to pack up months ago, but Effie dug in her heels- saying the two of them had never really settled anywhere, and that she needed to experience school with other people- even if it was just an all girl's school. She wanted the two of them to actually stay in one place long enough for her to make friends this time. He told her that if she could prove herself and receive an academic scholarship for Arcadia that he would allow them to remain there until she was ready for college, and so she worked hard until she got what she wanted to. The school told her that she would have to repeat a grade to start school there, but she honestly didn't mind that. It was a boarding school, and so the only time that her father got to see her in person was on the weekends- which was a sweet relief for her.

Loren was the product of his parents' prayers and dreams. The boy never fussed as a baby, and grew up quiet in comparison to most babies. Many thought he would inherit his father's morbid fascination with collecting the souls of the recently departed, but he never did. Rather, he loved the night, and became fascinated by its eclipsing beauty.
His hair, according to his parents, is as dark as the midnight sky, and is always worn long- tied back in a low ponytail. His eyes are bright grey hues with a tint of violet. His fox features are similarities he shares with his father- ears and tail. Otherwise, he bears a striking resemblance to his mother. They're both blessed with pale, porcelain features that some might call winter touched.
He's always been rather soft-spoken- preferring to sit, watch, and observe than be directly involved in most things. Loren is often lost in his own world- never without his needle, thread, and favorite shears. Socially inept as he might seem, Loren does enjoy the company of people in most situations.

Abilities ➽➽➽ Illusion Creation - with the help of his artistic strengths, he is able to create illusions or mirages and manipulate reality for a short amount of time. ➽➽➽ Cryokinetic Healing - Loren can manipulate ice to help others and himself heal small wounds. Larger wounds wounds are much more challenging, but as long as it isn't life threatening, he would be able to heal someone. ➽➽➽ Aura Detector - This is a skill that he has never been able to "turn off". He is able to see the color of other people's auras and emotions and changes in them over time.
Weaknesses ➽➽➽ His illusions are limited to the environment for the time being, and last only a few minutes. With enough practice, his illusions could last far longer and adapt with the people that they effect, but he seems happy with his skills as they are. ➽➽➽ Loren is very in sync in to other people's emotions, and as such, his own can be affected very strongly if he isn't careful. He has a hard time tuning others out sometimes. ➽➽➽ Like his mother, his skin is icy to the touch, and he seems to be much more susceptible to warm temperatures. When using his healing abilities, ice will slowly start to grow on his body starting on his hands. Small wounds and bruises are nothing, but larger cuts and wounds would cause parts of his body to be encased in ice until they thaw out.
