Written by Lily 25+, she/her, minors dni / personals dni, rules WIP! SPOILERS AHEAD!
RULES.
Thanks a ton for reading this now bear with me as I get this out if the way! Please call me Lily, and itβs nice to meet you!
Out of Character p.sd by ariapsds / supersources!
Minors and personals dni please.Β Reblogs from personals / non roleplay blogs will result in a block.
I will have various routes or verses and am completely open to crossovers! I tend to cherry pick AINI as I have my own gripes with it, but still very much enjoyed its improvements in some areas, and pitfalls in others. So Iβll follow things to a point but also do my own thing, so please be patient with me. I also will adapt my canon about it with other AITSF roleplayers so we can meet a middle ground as we all likely have some divergencies and our own takes!
Communication is really important to me! I primarily use discord, so please feel free to IM me, if we hit it off, because you will 99.9 percent find me there for plotting, chatting and just chilling out. Also I tend to initiate as best I can, but while thereβs no due date on ooc replies, I do tend to wait a little bit if thereβs no reply for a while, since I figure as we all have lives, I donβt wanna burden the person Iβm chatting with! That said, please always feel comfortable to let me know about something you want to talk about in our writing, our messages, or keeping or dropping threads. It really, truly, genuinely wonβt hurt my feelings. Iβm not weighing your interactions / speed or judging you.
Mizuki may look simply short and sharp-tongued, but her superhuman/supernatural strength is on another level. In both ability, regenerative properties and sheer agility, strength to lift and crush things, jump, leap, survive, endurance etc, is far beyond what a human being could or should, really. This of course is elaborated on down my rules but do not underestimate her as I will not hold her back, she is ridiculously overpowered and it is NOT EASY to take her down as we donβt know her full capacitiesΒ since she grows stronger each year of her life, but certainly not impossible at all for her to lose we just gotta plot it out! plotting is always always encouraged, naturally! just think of her as some weird unstoppable weapon of a detective, sci-fi series.Β She is not afraid to fight whatsoever to defend her loved ones and innocent people, and for now, is just focusing on not breaking a mug from sheer grip. I do follow the Horadori Institute Genome Editing, but minus Mizuki being a clone, and itβs elaborated below.Β
Crossovers are awesome, I said it before that you donβt have to have a muse from the Somnium Files to be welcomed here, OCs and Multimuse blogs are just as important. I can be selective but really I love just about any interactions of all kinds!
I think itβs safe to say since Iβll be having a lot of verses, that I will be making sure Mizuki, without being spoiler heavy, is given the spotlight I felt she deserved far more than she got. I also firmly will have verses where her father figure, imperfect but very loved by her, trauma issues aside, is mentioned as being present in her life because letβs face it both were done extremely dirty after the Mizuki route, which I felt should have been canon at least in the relationship set up, transferred to Resolution Route as the canon end in the OG. It isnβt so much that these two are my favorite family unit, but that they were nerfed so badly back to square one in this game, that it hurt the story quite a bit and Mizuki already has gone through way too much to have that on her shoulders also, and frankly Date, if you know you know, didnβt really deserve that.Β
Some verses though he will be involved in the Explosion route instead of a mentor figure to her in some verses, and youβll see how Mizuki takes that. Which is to say not well at all. :β) Something we didnβt see in AINI, which is probably my biggest gripe, the nerfing of relationships / development from the first game of the characters
While Iβve looked at the tags, various places and this is the common consensus on Mizuki being aΒ βcloneβ itβs just not gonna be a thing here nor is Bibi. That completely nerfs any of her development, takes away the message ofΒ βfound familyβ so heavily themed in the original game, AITSF, and pretty much takes away her identity as a solid character in it, and also retcons a lot of what happened with her biological family. I will have ideas and try to figure out herΒ βsuperhuman strength / combat abilityβ. Iβll follow along with the Horadori Institute experimenting on her as a baby, but not to make a clone.
Something like Shoko, who repeatedly calls Mizuki abnormal etc, to Date, maybe saw an opportunity while she was a baby to see if she couldΒ βfixβ her, and thatβs how Chikara got a hold of her in some verses. Not even for prestige or connections, just desperation and a likely unstable mind wanting to fix a child she frankly never wanted. I donβt know what other Mizuki blogs are doing about this if there are any, so Iβll try to keep brainstorming but for me, unless there is a good reason, the main detractor of Mizukiβs protag status / relevance in the story is Bibi, and trust me, I love Bibi dearly as she really grew on me as a character and I wish she was better utilized -- and I saw Marco!
Some verses like in AISTF, Iβll have Mizukiβs god like OP superhuman abilities never explained. Other times? Sheβll never lose her eye and just decide to be a detective to avenge her Dad and Kizuna and everyone who got hurt without having an AI-ball.
Most of the time for continuum, she has lost her left eye, despite Dateβs best efforts and the others, and will probably post game share Aiba with Date, as if there is an AI3, Iβd like someone made for Mizuki herself, if she appears again. Which I sure hope she does, even though Aiba is her family too, and they do get along well together, as Aiba takes the seat as a more nurturing, protective figure for someone made of seaweed.
Mizuki is not sugary sweet. She is traumatized back to back to back. I will not sugar coat themes of abuse in all its forms, neglect from parents, the negative reactions from trauma that for Mizuki, never seems to end, and the slow journey of accepting a parent that chose you out of love even if heβs imperfect and doesnβt always make the best choices with her, the point is, one person in the world tries, and itβs Date. I borrow a lot from the Mizuki route even if their relationship seemed to go backwards in Res route.
So Mizuki essentially is very much bite and fight. Sheβs snarky, she can be rude, sheβs mature beyond any preteen or teenager should be, sheβs fiercely protective of her loved ones, sheβs guarded and cagey around affection or compliments, sheβs angry, very angry, and also very kind. Sheβs a broken girl trying to find out where she fits and the pain of her life never seems to end, something continued in Nirvana Initiative. I want to explore all these traits and feelings negative or positive, but be warned, sheβs more likely to verbally eviscerate a muse or be her guarded, but actually genuinely kind self, buried beneath layers of trauma just as much.
Note that a lot of themes in this game, as Mizuki is a detective in her teens, more aptly put a Pysncer / Special Agent, that I do not reflect beliefs or opinions of everything my character does, as we are both separate individuals. While I can empathize with Mizuki for personal reasons, that hardly means the premise of the story or base foundations or plots or actions of the characters I necessarily condone.
Honestly a lot of my verses youβll see more detail and info on whatβs going on in each as I want to have lots of ideas with her! I want her to get what I felt she didnβt in AINI despite also seeing some positive things also!Β
No drama, bullying, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, racism, drama, godmodding / meta-gaming etc. If I donβt see someone acting like a decent human being or fair itβs a bye from me.
Also all icons coloring psd wise were by sunnypsds, promo, icon border and header done by @ganymakesβ / @colnerysβ (DO NOT STEAL PLEASE) and the caps are all done by me. Please do not steal!Β
I know this is a lot, but thanks a ton if you read even half, I really appreciate it. I hope we can have tons of fun together and donβt be a stranger!
