CHARACTER: Xion CANON: Kingdom Hearts PERSONALITY: Less than a year old replica made from the memories of the series' main protagonist. Values her friends a lot (to the point of codependency if you're not careful) but has been gaslighted or outright called a failure by many of her colleagues. Consequently doesn't have enough self-confidence to fill an eggcup and will sometimes blatantly self-deprecate herself (be thankful she hasn't learned how much her existence is a detriment to Roxas and Sora yet). Can be painfully shy, but when she's more comfortable she can be highly curious, and in some rare cases even be happy to tease.
CURRENT STATUS: Xion should be accepting Aqua's offer to become an Apprentice in the short term (if not in their current thread, then hopefully not too long afterwards), which is a Big Deal in her universe. Beyond that though, she's kind of coasting. While she may have just come from a situation where she didn't have any kind of set mission, she really didn't know what to do with herself then either. CR GOALS: Right now I really want and need CR that'll help... challenge a lot of her preconceptions. She has a very narrow view about life right now, mostly because the Organization has done their best to restrict that view. She's been poking at it a little herself, especially after finding out how much the lied about the nature of her existence, but she doesn't have enough outside perspective to really do so effectively. So people who can get her to question that, to question what they told her and how they'd been treating her in particular, would be stellar. This unfortunately does involve a character either needing to read between the lines of some of what Xion's saying, to needle her enough until she lets something slip, or to get close enough that she might outright admit what happened. Because unfortunately this is the kind of shit she is not generous about sharing. (Edit: just to clarify, this doesn't have to be positive CR! Neutral or even negative CR can do this just as easily - for example, Xion's CR with Bakura so far could easily head in this direction and has started to a little already)
Beyond that I - as always - would love for her to build up a support net. Really close friends, even pseudo-family. She's a Keyderp, keyderps thrive on friendship and she'll do a lot better for having them.
SCENE-DOS: I enjoy both log-based and network threads! Right now Xion's going to favor the latter because it makes it easier for her to communicate in general (hello shyness). But in my previous game it was almost all logs all the time, so I'm really comfortable with both!
I love to do threads where Xion has to face how basically life in the Organization has made her (in some ways) so poorly-adjusted and just really fucked her over. Or even just her circumstances in general (being less than a year old, for example). Just... situations where she has to deal with clash over stuff she's accepted/taken for granted that other people don't. I dunno. If I think of anything else I'll add a follow-up comment. SCENE-DON'TS: The only thing I can really think of is situations that involve warping her personality/mind control type things. Smaller degrees I can give a whack at, but I used to play at Tower of Animus and we had a couple of personality/behavior warping events and whenever I'd sign up for those events, when the time came to actually play them out I just... could never get more than a few tags in. I just am not particularly good at it.
4TH WALL PLANS: I don't have any particular plans at the moment besides trying to enable a bunch of people, but my muselist is here if there's anyone that anybody in particular is interested in seeing! KH kids are off the table unfortunately because playercest is too high of a possibility
ADDITIONAL: ANYBODY REPLYING TO XION'S CURRENT NETWORK POST: certain replies are hinging on how a thread between Xion and Aqua on the 1st turns out, which is why I've been so slow on replies. I've been trying to gauge what is safe for me to reply to and what isn't, to try to prevent retconning. If I stop replying entirely, then chances are I'm waiting to see how that thread goes and will get back to you as soon as I can!
