Anima

29 | She/Her LCCA Spec Ops Unit 4 Assistant Team Leader

[devyatanima]

Introduction

Hey! The name's Anima. I'm a Grade 5 Fixer formerly affiliated with the Devyat' Association, now working for Limbus Company in the Clearance After Team.

I made this account back when I was still working for Devyat' (to explain the handle…), but I found a lot of free time in my hands, so I figured I could update the place and use it a little since I wanted to gush about my collection…

Don't hesitate to reach out if you got any business with me!

Account run by @traceymailin Details on Anima will also be shared over on @yuriwithyuri

I got into Project Moon stuff back in January despite being aware of LobCorp and Limbus for a long time now, immediately setting my mind to create an OC to yumeship Yuri by the time I was finishing Canto II, LMAO.

I decided to make this roleplay account to get a better hang on Anima's character and develop her backstory further while having fun and meeting new people! So if you wanna interact, please don't be afraid to do so!

I won't mention the yume stuff as much over here since I'd rather keep it on the yume blog, but if it becomes relevant, I'll bring it up.

Rambling a little

Y'know… there was a period of time in which I really wanted to get a prosthetic arm, back when I still lived with my parents.

To this day I still don't think there was anything wrong with that wish… sure, I was young, but by the time you're nearing 18 you should be allowed to have some agency over your own body, no?

…

Whatever the case, I wasn't allowed to get one.

tw//abuse

There's, umm… a lot of scars and bruises all over my body that remind me of that period of my life, and… the people I have told this story to have told me that it's not too late to get them, and that would help with erasing these reminders I have to face every time I change clothes.

I… kind of don't want to do that, if that makes sense. I still adore prosthetics with a passion, and I don't subscribe to my parents' ideology of "the true human experience," but it's like… I don't know, it's… complicated.

In a sense, these marks feel like they're part of who I am today. Physical proof of the path I had to endure in order to get to where I am today… if I had broken any bones I would've made the switch in a heartbeat, don't get me wrong.

…

What I want to get to is… what the voice told me yesterday about "not being a shell" has stuck in my mind, yeah.

There's a lot of possible meanings for that word, sure, but… I've gone through a lot. I can still smile and enjoy my life free of any sense of guilt (most of the time, anyway), but there's a part of me that looks back and is like "what if I had never mentioned the prosthetic arm?"

I don't think my parents would've ever turned against me if I had kept my mouth shut, no… but I wouldn't have been true to myself if I had gone down that route.

Either way, after a long night of analyzing my life choices and experiences, I really don't think I can be considered a "shell" in any sense of the word. I have agency over myself now! My choices matter and all that jazz.

Thanks for hearing me out, and sorry if that was heavier than most of the things I've shared up until now, yeah.

What has the pistol been saying if I may ask?

The usual version of it is a sword. You must have known that though, right?

Anyways you must be pretty strong in order to wield mimicry.

Ah! Following the interaction with Alyssa I just heard it say "happy Pride Month" with a tone that was eerily similar to hers (Alyssa's) albeit slightly… off, if that makes sense.

The times I feel like it's speaking to me are usually when I'm alone, or at least when Yuri isn't around. She's told me that's normal though (if you can call anything relating to Abnormalities "normal" to begin with…).

Other than that, I think I remember it saying something along the lines of "please look after her," following the raid from the House of Spiders at HQ.

And yes, I'm aware about its unusual shape—Yuri has a Mimicry sword and extracted this pistol alongside it. I don't know why she got two weapons from the same Abnormality though, Hohenheim said that was an anomaly in and of itself… that's as far as my knowledge on this matter goes though. Yuri extracted it, I just borrow it, yeah.

As for strength… I'd like to think I'm pretty strong and tenacious as-is. I've endured a lot and that's the whole reason I'm here today! I refuse to go down without a fight, especially when the lives of others are at stake.

// OOC //

The idea is that yes, it was extracted by Yuri, but Anima was there. Nothing There resonated with both of them, but everyone is under the impression that Yuri extracted two weapons and the suit (I'll share more of this in the future once a piece I commissioned of the pair together is finished). For now though, they have a battle kit that showcases the dynamic with the dual-Mimicry weapons in action.

Thank you for showing interest in my girl, I've really poured my heart and soul into crafting Anima's story while complying to things established in canon. ✨

Ah! Nothing there, my child, it Found two people it likes. Amazing.

Anyways, I'm glad you wish to save the lives of others. That's rare in the city.

Oh! One more thing. . . Don't forget who you are. Ego gear can influence the personality of the wearer. Pulling out traits that the Abno resonated with. You aren't a shell.

That's all!

[devyatanima]

…Yes, thank you.

I'll keep that in mind moving forward.

Enough time has passed

Anyone wanna talk about prosthetics?

I overheard some people at HQ say that Aeng-du was going to get prosthetic arms to replace her own that she lost during the recent raid, and I just want to see her and figure out what specific model they're giving her…

I have so many different ones in my collection, but it makes sense that the higher ups would prefer to get them custom-made just for her (which I still can't do on my own…)

I want to know what Workshop they commissioned so bad… the wait is killing me, ugh.

…oh! That reminds me!

Oh, you want to hear more? Heh heh.✨

Back at my place I have this massive storage room (it's bigger than my own bedroom…) full of shelves with boxes filled to the brim with prosthetic parts! I've mostly gotten them from browsing local Workshop catalogues, but a few of them I got in auctions or even scavenging.

Scavenging is not something I get to do often because, frankly, there aren't that many places to do so back at the Nest? District 16 is pretty tidy, all things considered… but anyways! I've gotten the chance to do so after entering Limbus Company because a good chunk of our missions are on the Backstreets, which I had never gotten to visit before! They got so many interesting Workshops everywhere!

But, ah… where was I? Oh! The collection, yeah.

After retrieving Yuri's head I finally got my first chance to put a prosthetic body together. I used some pieces from old-ish models that were made locally in P Corp. (which I believe were planned to be exported to K Corp. in the past? I don't remember the whole story, but I got them for cheap despite being so high quality) and, not to brag or anything, but I think I did a pretty snazzy job, heh heh.✨

What I made wasn't… fully to Yuri's liking, no… I was pretty darn proud of it, but… I mean, can't force your taste onto others now, can you?

I ended up contacting the Workshop that supplied parts to the MultiCrack Office at the time (still a shame to hear what happened to Sasha… I still got what few pieces of merch were made of her though…), and they made a body that resembled that of Yuri's original one, to the best of her memory. She… still had some doubts due to things I don't want to bring up publicly, but at least she had a body now! Closest we could get to her old self with fractured memories and the Head's restrictions in place.

…ah, shoot, just looked at the hour. I got some business to attend to, but thanks for hearing me out! Feels nice to share this story with someone.

(I didn't even get to show the collection or talk about the custom pieces I got from *the* WowieSparkz, ugh… next time, trust)

[devyatanima]

About my pistol

I decided to bite the bullet (heh) and ask Hohenheim about the pistol that I carry… y'know, the one made of meat.

So the correct term for it is an "E.G.O gear," or "E.G.O weapon" in this case, and this one is specifically labeled as "Mimicry," which I guess makes sense because it feels like it's alive at times?

It comes from the Abnormality O-0…6? I don't remember the number, but he said it's known as Nothing There, so that's easy enough to remember, yeah!

That said though, reloading this thing is painful… I have a spot in my left arm that I just, draw blood from to feed it to the pistol and make the bullets that way… it's incredibly strong, so I just have to hope I can take down an opponent before I pass out from blood loss.

Aaaand… that's about it! I feel like understanding it more also helps me understand Yuri better, since the Abnormality resonated with her and all that jazz, yeah.

[devyatanima]

Hell yeah!

Yuriful sister hi five!

//you see the image of a woman with red eyes behind your eyelids, in your mind, giving you a high five//

//then nothing.//

I… huh…

(I don't know if I'm going insane, there's a telepathy Singularity in the works or if the pistol is trying to talk to me… whichever the case, I feel like I should start getting used to this voice… it sounds friendly, I'll at least admit that much)

H-High five, yeah!

* She then high fived her hands together and chuckled awkwardly. *

(I hope no one saw that…)

Happy Pride Month

I was visiting the LCE like I often do, and I ran into Alyssa shortly after arriving. She told me "happy Pride Month" out of the blue, so I instinctively replied with "oh, same to you!"

I really don't know how she took it, but that was embarrassing, yeah…

In any case, happy Pride Month to those who celebrate! This isn't a secret when it comes to me, but I'm a lesbian, in case some people who could read this weren't aware.

PS, I know that this "E.G.O" pistol sometimes makes weird noises, but I swear it has been repeating the same three words to me for a while now…

Mirror Worlds

// This post is OOC //

Before commissioning Anima's sprite sheet, I made this little Mirror World visual list to get a hang on Anima's design, as well as to imagine all the possibilities I could come up with stemming from the most pivotal moment in Anima's life. The list (with ID-like titles) is as follows:

Handy Office Rep

Bloodfiend (title pending)

LCCA Assistant Team Leader (main world)

Lobotomy E.G.O::4th Match Flame & Laetitia

The Index Messenger

Devyat' Assoc. North Section 4 Director

MultiCrack Office Fixer

N Corp. Defect

(Not pictured, were conceptualized after making the list)

LCB Sinner (Sinclair)

The Ring Cubist Student

I'll try to make posts in the future going over her other Mirror World selves in detail, but if any questions arise at any time, I'd be more than happy to answer them (in-character with each specific Anima)

Ps. Besides Anima (my OC) and Yuri (the only CC), the other two gals are OCs from people I know. I'm always open to making MWs with other people's OCs if you're interested in that!

[devyatanima]

Hello!

Don't mind me, I'll be observing you.

Hello, mysterious ominous voice!

I don't know if I got much to offer, but I hope I can make the observing worthwhile. (???)

(…why is the tone in the voice reminding me of what Hohenheim mentioned he went through during the LCB Check-Up?)

[definitelynotdistorter]

Don't worry about it :)

[devyatanima]

A-Alright! I won't!
