Ooh. This is difficult. I’m trying to cover what my characters might see in Madman, for my own sake, and what Madman could see in them for yours. A-also kind of bouncing plotty ideas around as they come to me- if any of them interest you let me know.
Tsuzuki canonically believes he’s part demon. I’m inclined to agree, since he certainly had bizarre powers even in life, and within the confines of his world (unlike in so many anime), purple eyes are in fact unique and inhuman.
Unfortunately, that’s as far as canon has ever gone into his backstory. In camp, I’ve played Tsuzuki as usually playing by the ‘rules’ of shinigami magic, but not actually NEEDing to because he is so much more powerful than that. During demon weekend, when he WAS in touch with that side of himself, he blew up part of the library and deconstructed various magics and psychic shields. However I don’t think he consciously realizes that. In short: latent god-mod. Feel free to see that potential.
If Madman calls Tsuzuki a demon, it will cause him emo. But it won’t come as a shock. I really don’t mind this happening, though I’ll probably let my castmates know when/if we’re talking, just so they’re prepared.
Iiiii would actually have no problem with Madman unleashing Tsuzuki’s potential either, but that’s an even that would take icons planning, and a good deal of warning for my canonmates.
On top of this, Tsuzuki is a shinigami. This means he is dead- a spirit who ha been re-granted his body for purposes of detective work among the living. As long as my canonmates are cool with it and assuming he doesn’t, yanno, make posts about it or anything, I’d be fine with Madman talking about that with Tuzuki too.
OH. Tsuzuki also has connections to the twelve gods who willingly serve him- the shilkigami. I assume for someone like Madman that connection might actually be visible? Especially to Byakko and Touda, who are (or soon will be) in camp.
Matsushita never really explains who is spiritually/psychically aware (or when, why, or indeed what the difference between the two is, although there clearly IS one), but in camp we’ve played all the Shinigami of having at least some sense of such things. So I’d say Tsuzuki will be somewhat aware of Madman and his messing with reality, and much MORE aware on subconscious levels.
Okay! I swear the others will be shorter, Maybe.
Ahiru is actually a duck! She’s also Princess Tutu.
Knowing either of these facts will convince Ahiru that Madman is in fact an author rather than a character, unless he can/would explain himself somehow. This could actually be quite interesting to play with, but I would have to talk to my canonmates first, I think, because there’s no way Ahiru wouldn’t freak out and tell them all about it.
Also, I would have no problem with him changing Ahiru between her three shapes at will (again, as long as canonmates are cool with hearing about it after the fact) PROVIDED there’s nobody else around at the time.
Ahiru has the sensitivity of a rock, and likely won’t notice anything’s wrong with Madman or the world. Unless something big happens, and even then she won’t attribute it TO Madmen unless she has already decided he’s an author cause he knows something about her.
Brainy is jut amazingly, amazingly smart. There is one issue of his canon where a mindreader actually goes into his brain, and essentially he a) has 12 tracks of thought running at once, which makes it impossible for most psychics to know everything he’s thinking because it feels like a crowded room even with just him in it and 2) has a series of locked layers of repression about his mother having left him. He has chosen never to think about it- at least not emotionally. Talking about that or bringing to the surface his feelings about his past (his emotional amplifiers- the patches on his forehead- already do the same thing at present) would distress Brainy. I wouldn’t mind it happening.
Brainy also hates/seeks to explain the illogical. Just being AROUND Madman is going to be a headache, as he’s probably hyper alert to changes in his surroundings. But he’s not really psychically aware.
