Character name: Etna
Fandom: Disgaea
Timeline: Post Disgaea 2
Age: 1,473
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: Etna has the standard demon repertoire: super human speed, strength, endurance, longevity, healing, some mastery of some magics, and other things; all of these are on a ludicrous scale, as many stronger characters in the Disgaea/Nippon Ichi canon (which include her) can wipe out mountains and countrysides with ease.
Her special skills involve summoning Prinnies as projectiles, firing lasers, and binding opponents in place while dropping a small sun on their heads.
How would they use their abilities?: Despite being very, very powerful, Etna generally prefers to mess with peoples' heads rather than just beat them up. She'll likely only use her abilities if they somehow help with her jobs or someone manages to really, really get her angry--which is actually pretty hard.
Appearance:
Background/Personality: There once was a young demon working as a low-ranked servant in the castle of the almighty King Krichevskoy, Overlord of the Netherworld. As it was common for demons to abandon their children shortly after birth, this child was an orphan; the only family this child had was a pet which followed her day in and day out and she loved him more than anything else. Being so much younger, weaker, and inept in comparison to the other servants, she became a target of their anger and ridicule.
She was bullied, teased, and made to suffer for being young, being weak, being unattractive, and being unable to rely on herself. Despite the Hell she dealt with through every day, she managed to get through it all because of her pet by her side. That was, until, those demon bullies killed her pet, leaving her entirely alone. Through a stroke of luck, however, the King stumbled across the child sobbing and helped bury her pet and took her in as a close vassal rather than a lowly servant.
At first glance, Etna appears to be selfish, cruel, and vain. That is because she is all of these things! She has to be in the world of demons. Demons are, by nature, chaotic, which inevitably creates a world based around the survival of the fittest. She wears skimpy clothing and adamantly believes herself to be sexy--she is entirely comfortable with her body, save for the jerks that won’t let the fact she’s flat chested drop. She bosses the Prinny Squad around as though they were less than garbage-considering they’re all souls of sinful humans, this isn’t honestly that bad. She takes what she wants when she wants it because, again, she lives in a world where this is the norm.
Etna became the strongest demon in her Netherworld (second to only Overlord Laharl, naturally) because she has these qualities. Her strength comes from her pride, determination, and cruelty. However, she is as strong as she is only because of her harsh childhood and the intervention of the King. She blames her pet’s death on the fact she was too weak, both physically and emotionally; she later blames the King’s death on her being too weak, both physically and emotionally. As a result, she lives her life to become stronger: she trains to become physically stronger; she boasts and wears skimpy clothing to show the confidence she developed after her pet’s passing and with Krichevskoy’s support; she accumulates wealth to avoid ever being the poor homeless servant ever again.
She is still a demon, however, and though the extent of her important characteristics are based on a past of suffering and the compassion of a ruler, she can cruel, selfish, and violent in situations where they are not validated at all, though these are rare in comparison to how most demons behave. She can be childish and selfish, such as when she left Laharl’s vassalage on a quest to become stronger to kill him due to him eating her pudding.
Things of great interest to her include the following:
- Pets. In canon, a boy lost his pet and Etna (in a rage that both Laharl and Flonne found uncharacteristic of her) forces Laharl to save it as a test to see whether or not he was an Overlord worth following.
- Bullying and suffering. Anyone experiencing anything that reminds Etna of her childhood would get immediate special treatment from her in the form of protection and support, though she would be unlikely to ever tell anyone why. Her support would involve making those suffering stronger so they can stand on their own legs.
- King Krichevskoy. Though she never quite understood his opinions on Angels, Demons, and Humans coexisting or the concept of love, she adheres to his dream in her own way. If not for herself, she will get involved with Humans and Angels if she thinks the King would have wanted it. Though she did not understand her feelings in the first game, Etna was in love with Krichevskoy; between Hour of Darkness and Cursed Memories, she seems to have accepted these feelings, but knew they would go nowhere, and again became emotionally stronger as a result.
- Breasts. This gets flanderized in many of her cameos and by many players. It’s not so much that Etna has breast envy or flips off the hook when people call her flat, it’s just that she WANTS THEM TO DROP IT. She shows no jealousy towards Jennifer or Rozalin, aside from an internal dialogue where she says (about Jennifer) "jeez, stop hogging the goods and spread the wealth", which is the extent of her jealousy. Although, she would likely develop a rivalry if she met another succubus determined to out-sexy her and happened to have a rack, but this wouldn’t be jealousy. Being confident with her body is an important part of her character.
- Sweets. Her diet consists nearly entirely of snack foods and if you want a quick trip to the grave, just go ahead and eat some of it.
Have you read up on how the game works?: Get money from working jobs, mugging hobos, mooching off others, you start with some, and the plug-in is the FlamingFerret.
1st person sample: Excuse me, excuse me! Attention, everyone!
[ Etna for some inexplicable reason is using a microphone while recording herself on the Guide. She is making dramatic hand-waving gestures and spinning on her feet as she speaks to (what she assumes to be) a riveted crowd on the other side of the Guide. ]
You may not know it yet, but you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity available to you. Yes, you heard right! A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!! 'What is it,' some ask? 'This is too good to be true', some complain? 'Why is it dark and where are those screams coming from', a certain not-to-be-named individual mentions?
To answer in reverse: put your gag back in, it's completely true, and it's the chance to help a beautiful, talented, woman who has lost everything.
[ ... ... ... ]
I'm talking about ME, morons. All you have to do is dial the number on your screen--
[ A piece of cardboard with Etna's contact information gets shoved in the way, held by a blue flipper. ]
--and pledge your money. It's your chance to help a fair, innocent damsel in distress come to terms with the loss of her shitty planet♥
There's no way in Hell this is gonna work, dood.
3rd person sample: "You're kidding, right? Riiight?" Etna glared at the man with the clipboard. From her perspective, there seemed to be have been a really stupid clerical error made during the preparation of this beauty pageant.
"No, ma'am, you're to help the contestants with their outfits and to bring them whatever they ask. Your name was on the list of contestants, but we assumed it was a mistake because you--"
"--Oh, the next words out of your mouth had better be 'would win by a landslide', otherwise you're going to have a much bigger problem on your hands than just a shitty, half-assed beauty pageant."
"No, I just don't think you could wi--"
Etna grabbed the man's clipboard mid-sentence. It exploded into flames. If one were to listen closely enough, the screams could be heard from the fires. Alternatively, that was the sound of the man peeing himself.
"E-E-E-Etna, got it. L-L-L-Last contestant, best for last."
"Much better". She gently pushed the man as she walked by him, sending him flying into a table of food for the contestants. He was covered in cheese. Etna gracefully entered the contestant's changing room by kicking down the door and cracking her knuckles.
Much to the audience's surprise, the beauty pageant had only one contestant on stage that night.
Questions?: Can Etna arrive with the Prinny Squad in tow? Assuming you're unfamiliar with the series, Prinnies are the most low-ranked of demons, more possessions than characters, and are generally buttmonkeys of the series. They're her servants and mooks, but will be (as is in character for her and in line with canon) treated like possessions (i.e. she'll force them to live in her closet or in a bureau or something and toss them into space if they take up too much room).
Did you put your characters name and fandom in the subject: Aye, aye.
