Camera Info!
Anastasia has a camera, which works by some sort of bullshit steampunk witchcraft. Its purposes are two!
1. Status screen! By taking a picture of someone, Anastasia can track their HP/MP or lack thereof. For RP purposes, I'm not gonna bring exact numbers into it, but she'll be able to make pretty damn good estimates on how tough/full of magic/hurt something is. She'll also be able to see the character's elemental affinity, assuming one applies. The seven Shadow Heartsverse affinities are Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Dark, and None. It's generally related to abilities and not necessarily to classic personality, although that can be a tipoff.
2. Photo album! In some cases, the photograph taken will allow Anastasia to summon a copy of the entity taken. The copy isn't perfect by any means - it'll be able to preform a signature move of whatever it copies, and generally doesn't last for long. What this works on is kind of totally fucking arbitrary. It generally doesn't copy humans unless they're inside mecha (yes, the canon takes place during WWI. Yes, there are mecha in it. Yes, it is kind of wildly insane), and by no means copies every monstery beast that crosses its path. tl;dr Whether your character gets copied is up to you, and I won't have a snapshot produce a copied album without permission.
That's pretty much it but if there's anything I left out/could be clearer on/you're just plain curious about, don't hesitate to ask! If you want to give permission for Anastasia to copy your character, just say so here! Or elsewhere I am not picky.
