So Saya is... a very triggery character. She comes from a canon with rape, torture, murder, cannibalism, pedophilia, tentacle sex, and just about every messed up thing you can think of.

Luckily, she's not the type of person to bring any of that up to other people, but all of this hits rather close to home for her seeing as she was involved in all of it, both intentionally and unintentionally.

There are a lot of warnings for her. I know this may make it extremely hard to interact with her character, so feel free to cut off conversations at any time or PM me about not wanting her to contact your character again (or even in the first place!)

While her history is not Lovecraft, Saya is a Lovecraftian monster. What does that mean? Let's just say most people can't look at her without going insane because her form is so blasphemous to the human mind. You can't hear her voice without wanting to either run away or destroy the thing that emitted that sound. She does not look like her icons. Her form in those icons is what the main character of her canon sees her as, but he's a little... let's just say crazy.

Can your character face her without going insane? Yes, actually! But not suddenly. If your character is into the occult and deals with demonic creatures regularly (not just horned people with different coloured skin, but the type of creatures with guts falling out, skin peeling and maybe eating human eyeballs or something), then there's a good chance that after the initial shock, you may retain your sanity. (I'm not certain how much it would increase a person's paranoia, though.) Otherwise, you can also face her if you slowly prepare yourself to face someone like her. Prolonged communications with her, maybe, and brief glimpses of just parts of her may slowly build an immunity. Saya is not out to cause people to go insane, after all. It's a thing she can't control.

Now let's go beyond physical appearances. This is where it might get a little scary. Saya is incredibly smart (trumping supercomputers when she's bored and solving math equations that may not be solved in hundreds of years within a day) and has the ability to alter the biology of animals. Humans, specifically, so aliens and robots are currently safe because it takes some, um, particular and thorough genetic samples before she can learn about other species. Samples that I really, really doubt she'd be able to get her hands on so let's not get into that.

But what does that mean? It means that she can change people. Fix them, or break them. If she knows the DNA of the species, then she has the ability to fix terminal illnesses, brain conditions, and anything-everything in-between. It's not beyond her abilities to trick a missing limb into growing back or trigger a latent ability in their brain or genome. I say this because she at the peak of that ability is the ability to physically alter human beings until they resemble... anything else. Even her. And they won't die.

Let's just say in advance for her: the 'can I hug/kiss/be in a relationship with Saya?' questions...? The answer's an outright no right now. You can fight her and injure her, but she's also got a ridiculously fast healing ability (probably connected to her ability to affect a body), and it is really really hard to kill her. Gunshots won't do it, but repeated blunt force trauma would do the trick.

WHICH LEADS TO THESE PERMISSIONS! (Wow, that was long, wasn't it?)

I'm hesitant to even as the 'can I...?' questions because her abilities are so invasive. Everything involving her abilities being used will be discussed with the mun of the character she's playing with. Therefore, this isn't so much a 'can I' as a 'are you interested...?' If you're not, I won't contact you about it.



1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? Being able to look at her straight on may require a 12 at least, but 10 means they may be able to build a tolerance easier, although she still wouldn't ever appear in their presence voluntarily. And 10 doesn't mean 'nothing fazes them', but more that they're easily able to bounce back from mental trauma. 'Nothing fazes them' is generally quite vulnerable to depletion in sanity. 1 means they're already certifiably insane, and she might actually not mind being with those people because... what more damage can she do?

2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Because Saya smells bad. Just as she can't be seen, sounds like nails against chalkboards and static, she also smells like rot and disease, which accumulates over time since she likes staying in one place. She's going to stay as far away from people as possible, but those with sensitive noses may be able to smell her lair if they wander too close. (For example, with humans, they could smell the rotten from the next house when she stayed in one place for three months.)

3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Physically, mentally, emotionally, anything. Saya can perform brain surgery just by inserting her tendrils through open orifices to either hurt or heal without leaving a trace of what's wrong or right. This will, obviously, have to be plotted out in detail and can be easily reversed by her. So if you'd like your character with enhanced senses for a while, or some strange illness or whatever, it may be possible to play out through her!

4. Any other pertinent information? Exactly as that says! \o/ If there are any questions here, I'll do my best to answer them!

...Also, I don't describe what Saya looks like because only one person in her canon managed to look at her and keep their sanity (so she's never been 'seen'), and that one person was her Papa.

Comments

For Cheetara, Slipstream, and Ugarit @ Abax

[guardsthecrown]

CHEETARA
1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? 9-ish, ordinarily. She's one of the more stable Cats and the one to lend others emotional support, but she's also seen a lot of battle, betrayal, and death. She's lost her team. So, less stable, if it touches those things.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Pretty much that of a predatory cat. She can detect scents very well. A slight rotten smell is nothing more than "meat that's starting to be bad to eat", but strong rotten scents are certainly not appealing.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Alien cat person.
4. Any other pertinent information? Does Saya have any intent or strong emotions that Cheetara might sense? Cheetara can sense spirit and intention, usually.

SLIPSTREAM
1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? 5? She's the sanest of the clones, but they're all pretty unstable, given their creator and manner of creation.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Very. However, I'm not certain Cybertronians rate smells on a good-bad scale. It's more detecting chemical make-up of the air. They might even be able to turn it off.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Robot.
4. Any other pertinent information? She's used to the idea that there is alien life, even icky, organic life. And she's accustomed to grating or static-laced vocalizations. Yet, there's still room for a 'does not compute' reaction, if you think that fitting.

UGARIT
1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? 7? She's considered well adjusted for an Orc, by others, but it's also true she suffered a kind of battle fatigue and got turned off killing and gore, which might make Saya quite triggery.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Above human. However, she spent her early youth in really unsanitary, dirty, smelly conditions, with rotting flesh possibly being included. She could develop tolerance to scent.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Not sure it works for the Orc.
4. Any other pertinent information? Saya could still be triggery to Ugarit, but since Orcs in her world are considered abominable creatures by most, she can also relate

[eldrich]

She does have strong emotions for Cheetara to sense! But for Saya, it's usually loneliness and sadness, and there isn't much intent because she doesn't know what to do here.

Her ability definitely wouldn't work on any of your characters, though. XD

For Fun Ghoul & Brad Keaton

[fangool]

Fun Ghoul
1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? Not... very. He's never been very stable and it's pretty easy to knock him over the brink. But! He bounces back pretty well. So I'd say maybe a 6 or a 7? He's half crazy as it is.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Normal human sense of smell.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Not right now! Maybe in the future, if the opportunity arises. I'll let you know, I'm sure.
4. Any other pertinent information? Not that I can think of! I get a lot of enjoyment out of fucking with Ghoul though, so it could be fun.

And I think I'm going to maybe opt out Brad for any interaction for right now? He's had to play when he's completely broken.

[eldrich]

Completely awesome~ I'll keep Saya's nutsy away. XD

[hellionated]

For Julian

1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? Uh. Well, in his canon he's seen some pretty terrible things - his friends being blown up in a bus, being horrifically injured, seeing people mutated and their minds altered...also he lives in a world where aliens are real and he's a mutant, so he's pretty used to seeing people who don't look human. He doesn't exactly emerge unscathed from all this though. Mentally, he has a lot of anger issues and each new bad thing that happens to him tends to leave him with more of those. Also, I would judge him to be severely depressed and potentially suffering from PTSD since he regularly exhibits the usual symptoms of both...

So given all that, I'd say, he's stable enough to not be insane, but unstable enough to have pretty strong reactions to the things that happen to him. Maybe a 5 or 6?
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Normal for a human.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Um, well. Maaaaaybe, I don't know! Julian is missing both his hands, and he obviously hates this fact. If you were up for it, I might be interested in that being healed? He as a character would definitely want it. Plotting that out might well be something I'd be interested in, if you were!
4. Any other pertinent information? I don't think so!

For Jason Grace jupiterson

1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? Pretty stable - like a 9, verging on a 10. This is a boy raised to fight monsters, in a world where gods are real and he's known that his dad was the king of them since he was 2 years old. At least. In canon he's had his memory ripped away completely and he still managed to bounce back from it and do what he needed to do.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Um. Normal for a human, but demigods are able to smell monsters in their world to an extent. If you wanted, he might be able to detect that she's technically a monster if she were close to him - but only if you want. If you don't want, I can easily say that it doesn't work because she's not from his world.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? He's good the way he is! I'd not mind doing something temporary for some vague, in the future plot, but that's a potential thing. For now I'll go with no.
4. Any other pertinent information? I don't think so, but I'm happy to discuss anything!

[eldrich]

I'd love to plot something out with Julian! if they get to be friends through the network and he reveals he wants his hands back, she'd be willing to do it~

[hellionated]

That would be great! Okay, so just so that I do this properly, what sort of form would she have if he looked at her, and how long would it take before it started to affect his mind? If I imagine it would have similar effects to trauma, it would probably make him irritable, verging to anger / possibly fear or panic if it went on for longer, would that be right?

[eldrich]

Drawing from canon, two girls who looked at her went insane immediately, but the main antagonist (I assume main character status always gives them better immunities, lawlawlawl) didn't see... her, per say, but one of her creations, and he immediately panicked and shot that creature until he ran out of bullets before he started screaming and beating on it? It's not a good track record for her and she knows it. ^^;;

She's only ever going to text on the network, and may request if they get to be friends that he go a certain area and then keep his eyes closed the entire time and she'd help him.

But if he does open his eyes and see her... fear/panic/anger would be the proper response, yeah. XD;; Not a good situation for her.

[hellionated]

Okay! I can work with that. Reading her texts should be fine then, no adverse reactions?

[eldrich]

Her texts are fine! That's how she communicates with people in her canon. o9

[hellionated]

Okay no problem! Thank you :)

[hypospraying]

Christine Chapel
1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? Probably an 8-9.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Normal human sensitivity.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Nope.
4. Any other pertinent information? I'd like to opt out of interaction, please!

Éomer
1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? 7-8
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Normal human sensitivity.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Nope.
4. Any other pertinent information? I'd like to opt out of interaction, please!

[eldrich]

Totally noted! ^^

Rinzler

[notglitching]

1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity?
Ha. Ha ha. Um... poor. And variable. I'd probably give it between a 2 and a 4--he's not entirely a raving lunatic, but his mind is kind of... designed to rip itself apart. Or rather, hold the broken pieces in place. That said, his mind isn't human, and his associations wouldn't work exactly the same way. Which isn't to say she couldn't break him, just that it'd be a somewhat different experience.

2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell?
Poor. No particulate matter on the Grid to really smell things. He doesn't have much sense of smell, and (if relevant to her) doesn't really smell like anything.

3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate?
Don't think she could, given inorganic?

4. Any other pertinent information?
Yay, mindbreak? \o/ Also, it's a tossup if he'd count her as a "what are you even O.o" or a virus. If the latter, attacking is probable.

[eldrich]

Nope, totally can't change anything with inorganics, although she... knows her way around computers. Enough to easily hack hospital files, idk, but she has no real interest in computers, though. ^^;;

Attacks. D: Saya is... very weak. But fast. Rinzler, Rinzler, don't attack her because she goes straight for internal organs when attacked! She might not be able to change anything, but you might not want her... slime. (And that's quite violating.)

[notglitching]

Internal organs, what internal organs? :P Rinzler's a good bit faster than standard human limits himself, though I doubt doubt "eldritch horror" could very well outmatch him. (Never said attacking would end remotely well, okay.)

Though seriously, if she tries to go for organs... |D; He doesn't have any. Break the render, and he'll just voxelize to fractured code.

[eldrich]

She'd just... learn to rewrite codes after that (I'm sorry orz) and that would actually bring her attention back to computers and programs. She... learns fast.

It would end badly for both, methinks. ^^;;

[notglitching]

FFfff. Welp. She'd need to get her hands tentacles on his disks to pull any sort of rewrite, which... is actually his biggest panic/hate button. He'd pretty much need to be either derezzed or restrained already.

Certainly not impossible, but with you on the ending poorly front. |D;; I suppose we'll see how things go if they encounter each other?

[gleans]

GALEN
1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? Uhm... thanks to Abax, I'd say around... 4 or 5. Normally he bounces back from things, but having thing after thing happen has really worn on him.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Normal for a human, maybe a tiny bit less sensitive.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? UHHHhh the only thing I can think of right now would involve Galen's freaky dream shit, maybe being able to enter them at will, or something, but I don't know. I'll get back to you!
4. Any other pertinent information? Nope!

KOBRA KID
1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? Ummm 6-8.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Slightly above average.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Perhaps... somehow. Again, I'll let you know! \o/
4. Any other pertinent information? Nnnope.

[eldrich]

I-if Galen goes through her dreams, he may be the only person in the entire city who can see her in her 'human' form. Only in dreams, though. Because that's how she sees herself. mO_Om

[gleans]

!!! I'd be down for this. :O

[eldrich]

\o/!

It would be awesome!!

[keelahselai]

Oh God I love these forms I can't even lie to you.

Tali

1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? Generally in the region of a 8-9.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Normal, but the suit she's wearing can have its olfactory filters turned off, so also non-existent.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? I actually would be, but sadly, alien. ;;
4. Any other pertinent information?

Dante

1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? 10 - he's used to demons and things that go bump in the night, he's dealt with them all his life and can pretty much take anything thrown at him and bounce straight back. In this case, though, I would be more than happy for Saya to be far beyond the pale even for Dante.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Normal.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Nah, Dante can stay just the way he is.
4. Any other pertinent information? Dante's a demon hunter by trade and Saya would definitely ping him as 'demon', but he has been known to have sympathy/mercy even for demons if they're not malevolent, which is doesn't seem like Saya is, so it could be an interesting thing to play around with. :|a

[eldrich]

<3! ^___^-

Saya doesn't really... care, about hurting people which is good 'cause she really can hurt people, but bad since she doesn't really care if they're off killing themselves or something. XD

But I'd love to see how things would work with Dante! Thanks for the sanity thing~! I'm pretty sure Dante's one of the few who'd be able to get used to her with some time, though! o9

[mankindly]

oh gosh so before i answer any of these questions, i'm actually curious about how she and adam might interact and etc etc. since he's the antichrist and basically the embodiment of all that hideousness, himself (just wrapped up in a neater package?!), i feel as if he'd be more likely to see her for what she is and be fine?? correct me if you think i'm off the mark or you just don't want to deal with that, but alskjdf i thought it might be interesting...

1. as far as his human persona goes, adam is about as sane as they come. but again, he's the antichrist, so i wouldn't say that the normal understanding of sanity and insanity really applies to him.

2. pretty average when he's playing at being human. when he's not, it's basically uh. what he wants it to be.

3. no thank you! :) if only because it wouldn't really.. work on him. he'd just change himself back later.

4. alksjdf l m a o i guess i covered this in my note up there.

[eldrich]

No, definitely! Just because she can't be seem in her canon doesn't take into account other canons, after all~ I actually think it'd be awesome if they could actually do the in-person interaction, especially since she can't do that with... just about the rest of Abax, I'd say. ^^;; There are always exceptions, though!

I'd love to see them interacting! 8) She'd be exceptionally curious as to how he's not screaming and running away or something like that. XD

For Heather Mason at Abax

[foolishwren]

1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity?
Gonna put her at 7, with the potential (under limited circumstances, likely involving the god inside her) to drop to around like... I dunno, a 3. That's not likely to happen.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell?
Fairly sensitive, but not unnaturally so for a human.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate?
Not particularly-- while I don't know much about Saya no Uta, there's a strong chance the dormant god inside Heather would prevent changes from being made to her body.
But if it ever happens to come UP for whatever reason, I'll happily discuss it with you and we can work something out.
4. Any other pertinent information?
From what little I've seen of the horror visuals in Saya no Uta, they actually bear a pretty strong resemblance to Silent Hill's Otherworld and the general creatures and environments Heather spends her canon exploring.
SO she is probably someone who can look at/listen to Saya without going insane (she herself was literally BORN in the Otherworld, after all), although I can't say how she'd react apart from that!

Re: For Heather Mason at Abax

[eldrich]

The background really is a lot like SH with more organic squish. XD; But man, sure, I'd love to have Heather be one of the few who could actually talk to her and all~ it'd definitely cheer Saya up some to not have to be completely alone all the time.

[foolishwren]

SURE!

T-that said, I can't promise Heather will be receptive. XD; After all, she does KILL the eldritch abominations in her canon, and she's no fan of monsters, especially at a mid-game canonpoint.

BUT we'll see!

Pff, late poster is late. ;;

[viraltentacles]

1. How stable (1-10) is your character's sanity? This...is a very good question. Whether he's sane, or insane is really up for debate. On one hand he's a sociopath who doesn't mind doing unspeakable things towards intelligent beings. On the other hand he does actually have somewhat of a conscious...possibly going to go with either a five or three here.
2. How sensitive is your character's sense of smell? Super-human.
3. Are you interested in having your characters 'changed' somehow? Elaborate? Pff, he would most likely be the one doing the changing of his own free will. Being able to change your genetic coding is awesome.
4. Any other pertinent information? Well to start off with, he does have quite an impressive list of powers, and could possibly find out/see her for what she is. Plus, with him being a sentient virus, she herself might find him interesting? All in all, he might find her a bit of an oddity and may attempt to find out more about her via stalking hanging around her. :3
