Your character's name: Crona (no last name given)
Series your character's from: Soul Eater
Background info on your character:
PERSONALITY
Crona is never given a specific gender. The character is never referred to with a gender-specific pronoun by other characters, refers to themselves as "boku" (僕; a personal pronoun implying the speaker is a young boy or otherwise boyish, but is often used by girls, particularly in music), has a relatively androgynous way of speaking, and general appearance (I personally consider the character female, and while she will not be affixed a specific gender in-game due to the first person nature of play, for the app I will refer to Crona as "she". :D).
Crona is the child of the witch Medusa, improbable as it may seem. She has nothing even vaguely resembling a mother/child relationship with her mother, referring to the witch as Lady Medusa and never mother or any derivitive thereof, other than in reference to her ("She is my mother," but not "Mother" to Medusa's face). There is no noticeable mother/daughter love or care that occurs between them, and Crona reflects on never having contact with anyone, including her mother. To Medusa, Crona is a pawn; an experiment. Medusa studies a substance called Black Blood, and after dissolving Crona's weapon, Ragnarok, into the black blood, replaced the existing blood in Crona's body with it.
Due likely to her complete and utter lack of care and affection as a child (contrarily, Crona was told to perform acts one should never request of a child, such as killing small animals, and was locked in a dark room alone for days at a time when disobedient), Crona is very meek and nervous. She often complains of "not knowing how to deal with" or "not understanding" various aspects of life, such as "people with fierce eyes" like Maka's, girls in general, her own ribs were she to become any thinner... Crona is also generally relatively quiet, making comments to herself more often than she speaks to those around her. Often to her hesitance, Medusa and/or Ragnarok both generally enforce that Crona should simply kill the things she doesn't know how to handle. This results in a basic form of insanity in Crona that is strongest when she is using Ragnarok as a weapon in some manner of battle (ie; the Black Blood causes insanity in its host, when Ragnarok, a weapon born of Black Blood, is being utilized, Crona esssentially goes insane). Past a certain point, the Black Blood in Crona's body is "purified" to an extent, nullifying the insanity that it caused.
The Black Blood in Crona's body also has the capability to solidify and harden, making her body impossible to penetrate. This makes her impervious to bladed physical attacks, and in fact puts her at an advantage if her skin is broken. She can control any blood that is lost in the form of various attacks, one such being called Bloody Needle which allows her to transform fallen drops of blood into needles to slice up an enemy without actually touching them. Ragnarok is also shown to have other forms, though they relate closely to the number of souls he has ingested.
**For reference! I intend Ragnarok to be present but rarely used; in canon he only shows up periodically in battle situations (obviously) or for comic relief, anyway. melts approved this use here. :D
CANON HISTORY
A healthy soul resides within a healthy mind and a healthy body.
Humans born as Weapons are, as their name suggests, able to become weapons. Those born as Meisters are able to make use of those weapons with whom they share a common soul resonance with. A school exists in Death City, (which is apparently in Nevada) a school known as Shibusen. This school's primary function, as decided by Shinigami is to teach young Meisters and Weapons the proper way to live, to synchronize their souls with their weapons, and to eventually create an all-powerful weapon known as a Death Scythe. In order to transform a weapon into a Death Scythe, a Meister and Weapon team must collect ninety-nine corrupt souls and one soul of a witch.
The story revolves primarily around three Shibusen students and their weapons. Maka Albarn and her weapon, a scythe named Soul Eater. Black*Star and his weapon, an evolving chain-scythe named Nakatsukasa Tsubaki. Death the Kid, and his twin pistol weapons, Liz and Patty Thompson. The story follows their adventures and hardships throughout Shibusen; classes, collecting corrupt souls, the race to create a Death Scythe and in Kid's case, asymmetrical hair.
Crona does not appear until episode seven of the anime (equivalent to chapter four of the manga), when Maka and Soul are on an extracurricular lesson away from school. Crona cuts Soul down when he acts as a shield because Maka froze up in battle, and Professor Stein, Shibusen's greatest Meister (as well as a teacher) and Death Scythe, Shinigami-sama's weapon and Maka's estranged father, come to their aid. Crona is defeated, but before Stein can deliver the killing blow, a mysterious witch Medusa shows herself and takes Crona away.
A while later, Death the Kid encounters Crona on the Ghost Ship known as the Black Dragon. The ship is filled with the souls of a village it recently destroyed, which Crona promptly absorbs into Ragnarok upon arriving. This allows Ragnarok to grow and change shapes, his neck elongating and his arms becoming wings. Before the battle can get very far, the spirit of the ship makes an idiot of himself and proves only to irritate both Kid and Crona, causing Crona to spout off about getting rid of anything she can't deal with. She then proceeds to slice the ship in half with an attack called Screech Alpha, and she and Ragnarok escape when Ragnarok transforms himself into a pair of large inky wings on Crona's back. Naturally, Kid gives chase, though it doesn't last long due to his comical obsession with symmetry.
In a later group battle against Medusa's attempt to revive the Demon God imprisoned beneath Shibusen, Maka disregards Professor Stein's order to continue past Crona to the Demon God. She sends Black*Star on in her place, determined to avenge the scar Crona left on Soul. The previous attack on Soul by Crona infected him with the Black Blood, which results Maka receiving access through a sort of soul-osmosis. During their second battle, Maka makes use of the Black Blood inside her to essentially go mad for the duration of the battle. During the battle, Maka does a little soul-searching, as it were, letting the madness fight the battle for her while she attempts to figure out what the hell is wrong with Crona by using Soul Perception.
What she finds is a corrupted soul with a "deep thirst" and a young Crona wandering a vast desert with no oceans. She watches as Crona draws a circle in the sand with a stick and then sits in the circle and is asked questions by herself, all of which she responds to with "Pass". In the end there are forty-two tally marks for the questions she answered with "Pass", and the young Crona begins to cry over her own indecision. A young Maka then invades Crona's circle and erases it to show her how easy it is for her to break away from her imprisonment. Crona then has a bit of a manic spaz attack, and Maka has Soul retrieve her from her madness. Maka then makes use of her Demon Hunter wavelength that nobody really knows about at this point in canon and fixes Crona's crazy (which is to say, she purified the evil in Crona's soul and with use of Soul Perception understood that Crona's main issue was having never known physical contact). She then proceeds to request she and Crona be friends, and Crona cries like a bitch.
UNFORTUNATELY for the team, the Demon God Asura is resurrected anyway, despite Medusa's defeat at the hands of Professor Stein and Death Scythe. Madness spreads, rocks fall, everyone dies, things get horrible... But, life goes on. With Crona being "confiscated" by Shibusen, she is held beneath the school and eventually enrolled as a student and appropriately terrified of Zombie!Sid. Soon after being enrolled, Crona accompanies Maka and Soul on a mission to the Czech Republic to investigate a rogue Golem. Here, the group encounters the witch Arachne, who turns out to be Medusa's older sister (and therefore Crona's aunt). Unable to fend off Arachne and her lackeys, the group is rescued by the Death Scythe Justin Law, one of three additional Death Scythes called to Shibusen just after the revival of the Demon God.
Maka, who was paralyzed in the battle with Arachne, decided to have a party thrown when she regained her mobility. Here, the rest of the Shibusen student cast made a point of showing Crona they were all her friends in whatever manner suited them best (Kid gave quiet encouragement, Black*Star offered to beat anybody up she didn't like, Patty offered Ragnarok some of Tsubaki's cooking). Overwhelmed but happy, Crona found herself an awkward niche amongst Shibusen.
Unfortunately, Medusa was defeated but not, as Stein and Death Scythe thought, killed. She steals the form of a young girl named Rachel which she claims to intend to keep only until her magical powers have been fully restored, and on Crona's way back to the school dorms, reappears. Manipulative as ever, she convinces Crona to become her spy by pulling the "You'll do it for your mother, right?" card. She is made to seek out a secret vault beneath Shibusen, and when searching for it is caught by Marie, a Death Scythe and current teacher at Shibusen. Pretending to be lost as not to get in trouble, Marie guides Crona and Ragnarok back to their room. Medusa then, instead of scolding her, praises her for doing well and gives her a new mission (likely to confuse Crona; if she was praised, maybe Medusa gives a crap after all). She is to take advantage of Marie's kindness and partnership with Professor Stein in order to place a listening device in Professor Stein's laboratory. This "listening device" turned out to be a snake from Medusa's body which contained a microphone and a bit of her demonic power, which will allow Medusa to listen to the progress in Stein's insanity. When Crona successfully plants the snake in Marie's coffee, she is told she will be praised by Medusa. Unfortunately, this has resulted in her directly betraying Shibusen, so she is naturally confused as to what she wants.
Sample post: ...an island?
I-I don't know how to deal with waking up on an island...
Lady Medusa might be angry. She won't know where I am, what if she thinks I'm trying to betray her...? L-like... like Shibusen. ...I wonder if she'll even notice.
...
There's so much sand here, but... An ocean, already. Does that mean... Maka...? It smells nice. And it's warm, a--
--ow!!
...I got hit in the head with a coconut. I don't know how to deal with raining coconuts.
I wonder if I should... put it back on the tree? But how would I get up there, I... don't know how to deal with climbing trees. There are no branches...
Ragnarok, can you put this back on the tree? It fell, and... No, I don't want to eat it. Ragna-- hey-- stop that...!
...Well now you broke it. How do we deal with a broken coconut...?
It smells weird. No, I still don't want to eat it. I was going to put it back on the tree, but you broke it! Here, maybe...
...don't, Ragnarok, it smells weird. It might be bad, maybe that's why it fell...
...
Put it in the water, maybe it'll float away. Here, I'll do it...
...
...it came back. I don't...
...maybe we should keep it. You broke it, anyway. But what'll we do with it? I don't know how to keep a coconut.
Here, Ragnarok. We'll use it for something.
A list of things your character might have on them after they got snatched up and put on this island: Herself, Ragnarok whom is unfortunately attached, and possibly the pillow she fell asleep hugging on to.
If you're applying for a first character, tell us what Island wants the most, to show us you've read the rules: Bonsais, kois and Australia. :D
