In b4 I NEED MY CHEMS

[daughterofelysium]

Greetings, all! It's Jae, bringing you Triela Hilshire of Gunslinger GIrl. She's a human-looking girl of about fifteen who is almost entirely synthetic, and has been brainwashed and trained into functioning as a government employed assassin. :|

For those of you I don't know well/at all yet, hi! I also play Steve Rogers and Karrin Murphy, though I've been falling down a bit on their tags thanks to the busy time of year at my job hitting near the end of August. I'll be honest, most of my tagging will probably happen on the weekends until September's end, so I'm more than happy to hash out what our characters are doing if you need to know for a later thread! Just send me a PM via any of my characters' journals.

OKAY NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART... Triela, as part of the cyborgification/brainwashing process, has to take a drug that maintains her conditioning and regulates her emotional and mental processes, basically. So this introduction also serves as a kind of plotting post, as she has only an emergency kit on her - at best, she can stretch what she has over a two week period without starting to feel the more severe side effects of withdrawal. From her app:

Symptoms of withdrawal from the drug are similar to withdrawal symptoms from painkillers, with the additional risk of violent outbursts.

Her arrival on Tu Vishan is going to overbalance her world. She might be a comparatively free thinker, but she's still conditioned, still used to having requirements to meet and a schedule to stick to. She's used to constant supervision, orders, structure. Having none of that is going to first make her uneasy and then terrify her. Combined with the fact that she'll only have - as per canon - an emergency stock of the pills that maintain her emotional and mental stability and her conditioning, her mental state will probably deteriorate fast either within or after the first two weeks.

It could mean one of several things: a sort of amnesia, where she temporarily forgets she was anywhere before Tu Vishan and it becomes a sort of substitute Agency; she may latch on to someone as a surrogate 'handler' and insist on protecting and (to some degree) obeying them; or, she'll go berserk, and start picking and killing targets based on their similarities to her former victims.

In truth it'll probably be some combination of the three. SO, thoughts? Potential seedlings of CR-plotty-things? In all likelihood, she would primarily target kedan gang members, not player characters, but I'm more than willing/happy to have people intervene.

...can we please have rin and triela have a cool-down style fight

can we please do this

[usavatar]

POTENTIALLY. I want to give people a chance to figure out what they might want to do/how this might play out before saying for sure, but I'm definitely open to it. :|

[dadissues]

NO I MUST HAVE ALL OF YOUR CR. ALL OF IT. NO ONE ELSE CAN HAVE JAE CR. NO ONE!!!! Pen-chan is the only one who understands Jae-chan~ jae-chan jae-chan jae-chan jae-chan jae-chan jae-chan jae-chan jae-chan

[cowled]

I AM EXHAUSTED AND HEADING TO BED SOONISH oh god it's only nine ahaha...


but basically: I want to do things with Triela and Bruce. And possibly also Asami? How does she react to being Big Sister'd? :333

[usavatar]

Yesssss to both these things. Bruce would remind her of Agency people and SHE HAS NEVER BEEN BIG SISTER'D SO I HAVE NO IDEA. She's always been the big sister. *^*

Hi Jae! I should think that Aaron will be very interested in Triela! What with the whole CHEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMS thing and all, he totally feels ya, kid. He's been there, done that, and would've crashed just as hard when his chems ran out if not for Marta. :3

So, while not a cyborg, he's been physically and mentally engineered and boosted, sooooo.... he will be concerned about why a kid seems to be going through the same things he did.

IE: I WANT IN ON THIS, YUS. Dunno if you'd want Aaron to fill in her handler role or just to become a living breathing shadow, but he'll be there for sure.

Believe him, he knows pretty much exactly what she's going through. It's a bit alarming, really.

[daughterofelysium]

Yessss. I would love some kind of CR with Aaron and Marta both - I can't say with certainty who would fill the 'handler' role, yet, since there's no telling sometimes how threads will go, but he certainly is a possibility. I'd love to find out how Triela reacts to the fact that there's an adult who went through the same things she's going through.
