very quick rundown of Parma extra verses (which I will give only in brief because he’s usually so attached to Mya’s lore that if you read hers, then you know him):

Psypass: he’s an Italian distinguished gentleman living in Firenze (Florence) leading an organization called L’Occhio (the Eye). as close as I can keep him to his core canon, his purpose is spiritual enlightenment for those trapped in the mirage of comfort. yes he still has shady connections with corrupted officials, strategically stirs chaos and unrest and large scale unrest where and when he has to. like in his core canon, he’s using the tech at his disposal to clone himself and achieve the ultimate feat of defeating death. why is he dispatching a certain someone in Japan? because of his morbid curiosity about the Sibyl system. kind of like the metaphor of aspiring God versus God. that sort of thing.

Arknights: he’s the Deathless Black Snake here. pretty self-explanatory for those of my homies who know the main story. more to come when I resume reading Arknights content.

Honkai verse: Doctor of Destruction responsible for many cosmic events that are notably catastrophic. in truth, Pathstrider of Finality. an ominous entity similar to Elegy, insane on levels not unlike Doctor Primitive. yes, he’d be responsible for creating creatures of Destruction such as the Void Rangers. can likely also be placed in HI3 and he knows all timelines and stuff like that. what is he? yes. more to come when I properly consume more content.

WuWa: Doctor of science affiliated with the Fractsidus, whose purpose is to defy his own condition and he is deeply interested in studying everything about the Lament, Tacet Discords and what have you. he is the one who created Mya, a mingling between human and Tacet Discord through his sorcery and science. what is he? also yes. laments the fact he doesn’t think he’ll ever again achieve what he has with Mya (similarly to how we ruined his Black Ring in PTN which he painstakingly nurtured), but that doesn’t mean he’ll necessarily stop there.

DNA: will likely be similar to his WuWa variant, give me more time to play so he can plague your life.

oh to be an 1800’s gentleman practicing questionably unethical science whose experiments drive you to madness as your lover grows more concerned each passing day

[furiaei]

literally crying (positive) at this Reddit commentary because the wording “Parma was trying to give birth to…” just sends me. this yet again confirms the “what is he? yes” vibe. I honestly want to read the event when I have the time to see what is up with this

[suaombra]

also endearingly loving it whenever anyone of my moots refers to Parma as a “thing” or an “entity” because it genuinely fits

yes, Parma dons the appearance of a human man. but he isn’t one. it’s only my personal theory that he must have once been one, or maybe he’s a shred of the Abyss manifested into the world and whatnot. we don’t know. but surely enough his dialogue about horrors as higher beings can indicate things.

[suaombra]

The sensation of being mangled & brutalized has long been reduced to a mere sting. Oh, ought he to have played dead as well? Oh, dear child, would that have assisted you in finding any manner of solace whatsoever? "Father" is generous, "Father" grants, should you only so kindly ask!

"Death cannot shock one who has died multiple times already," an answer is provided as flesh remembers its initial form and composition, black ichor reforging the previously torn apart muscles of this specific shape. "Has it offered you any shape of relief?" he oh so tenderly, painfully tenderly inquires, "This display of violence and madness, poured onto me... does it help you? Does it contribute to bringing you to feel more at ease? As for how am I still breathing, that is a terribly long story. Should I even bore you with the details of this gruesome tale of mine?"

“Oh, there is nothing to apologize for!” he reassures, as though he spoke not to some manner of being whose very own presence would beckon many to shudder in fear. Indeed, to Parma, these beautiful, higher existences are wondrous flowers to be carefully, lovingly nurtured until they grow into the best of themselves. Until their glory so absolute should shake the very foundations of the world! And his thought does not come without being accompanied by a smile as he stands still before the other, eyes as pyres of crimson brought to lay an admirative gaze upon his interlocutor.

A soft chuckle emerges as well! “They?” the personage donning the colour of nothingness continues, “I fear I do not know of whom you speak. But, to give you an answer, it has been my own decision.” Alas, he ought to sigh! “A decision which has only drawn upon me a multitude of irritating labels, madman having been the most common. Yet, you see, I have voluntarily walked this solitary path. There is nothing to regret on my end.” For I have unshackled myself from the condition of my infuriatingly weak mortal flesh, unspoken yet nonetheless present and implied.

Parma shortens the distance between himself and the other only a few steps, enough to indicate he understands when one comes too close for comfort. Yet, also enough to indicate he does not fear him. Why would he? Is other not a manner of being so marvelous? Oh, how he wishes to know! “I suppose you, too, have led quite the solitary life yourself,” he wagers a mere guess, “Fear not! It takes more than a simple act of ripping my body to shreds to finally kill me.” Spoken in such sincere serenity! “I will not make vain promises of helping you, for how could I? When one wishes not my guidance or aid, I dare not presume. Still, I suppose you have a name, do you not? You may call me Parma.” Smile widening, it could nearly resemble the warm smile of a mother who wishes to cradle her child to the security of her chest! “As for your woes in regard to speaking with humans, would it relieve you to learn I, too, cannot speak with them? Or that you stand not in the presence of an ordinary man?”

i have this unrealistic fantasy in my head where if you calmly and logically explain something to someone perfectly they will understand your position and gain knowledge from the exchange. unfortunately in the real world this does not happen often

PROMPTS FOR PRE ESTABLISHED CONNECTIONS AND CREATING HISTORY BETWEEN CHARACTERS *  assorted dialogue for giving your characters a history and giving them past things or events to talk about, adjust as necessary

do you remember what i told you last time?

have you been doing well since i saw you?

that's not what you told me back then.

when was the last time i saw you?

you were shorter then.

i'm picking the restaurant this time.

we've known each other since we were children.

always knew i could count on you.

that time was different. this is worse.

you're not going to let me live that down, are you?

i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.

so you changed your mind about it?

do you remember our encounter in paris?

you should know me by now.

am i the only one that knows the truth?

we had a lot of help back then.

your mom told me to look out for you.

you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.

maybe don't mention my past indescretions?

this was never going to work out between us.

i told you not to get attached.

i know more about you than you think.

i was there, remember?

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

remember what i said to you?

the last time i saw you, things were good between us.

you never mentioned this before.

that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.

can i still trust you after all that?

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

there's not much for us to talk about.

we worked it out last time.

i know you far better than you know yourself.

we have a long history.

is that the shirt you were wearing last time?

what don't i know about you?

i haven't told them about us.

you were the only person i could go to.

you know me.

this is bigger than both of us.

i can't stand your driving.

are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?

that's not at all what you said.

didn't we agree on that?

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

this is a bad time to talk about your problems.

"oh your cat will eat you when you die. your cat doesn't really love you because it'll eat you when you die. if you die, your cat will eat you!"

GOOD

she is only a young little lady with little paws!! she cannot operate the vittles vault screwtop to get more kibble when her feeder runs out!!! I am her mother!! let her eat me if it is the final time I will provide for her!!! if my body is the last thing she will ever require from me, it is hers!

[redstonedust]

i think it's funny when people say "yeah the writers use they/them for this character but that doesn't necessarily mean the character is nonbinary" because i guess it's true but by that logic i can say "yeah this character is referred to with he/him but they never say he's a man so i can do whatever i want" which i may actually start doing because it sounds based as fuck. if you want me to believe that action hero is a man maybe you should've been more direct about it smh.

[tastylemonbread]

ah hell, why not. a little getting shot i nthe back of the head never hurt anyone

[suaombra]

also, do you know those characters with super silk smooth and beautiful black hair? that’s how I imagine Parma’s hair is as well (that is, when he isn’t covered in his own gore or gore in general).

[twinsfawn]

baby i could treat you so good you just have to get past my strange and off-putting demeanor and my kubrick stare and my inability to behave like a human and the 40 layers of icy fortress walls i have up and answer my riddles three

[twinsfawn]

[suaombra]

in all honesty, though, I’d really love more plots where Parma is someone’s mentor / teacher / parent / confidante (add more here) because I do believe this angle of him is one angle the canon could have explored more

yes, they do terrible things. but, they’ve always very patiently guided the researchers under him. we even had one kneeling once every three steps to call out Parma’s name in starting the next stage in 99 Mirage (which implies to me at least a crazed frenzy of worship directed at Parma’s person but it was never expanded on). then we have that parental gentleness they have shown to Phantom Hamel

I crafted the Mya Parma lore the way I did purely to expand on this part. though, I’m always open to more dynamics where I can explore this side of their character as it’s genuinely fascinating to me
