Character Name: Momo (Nina Quatro in the AU)
Canon: OC
Canon History:
- Imagine a whimsical setting with candy cotton sinkholes, meat forests, and the like. In that world, the Evillands were areas full of evil energy to the point where it could corrupt the inhabitants, for example turning dog into hellhounds.
- An experimental to create a pacified hellhound accidentally created a powerful hellhound/human hybrid called Momo who combined the worst impulses of hellhounds and humans.
- Momo proceeded to take over every hellhound pack in sight, mustering a huge army that she led to terrorize the world.
- Many towns and cities fell to her army and their inhabitants became dog food.
- However, an anti-Momo alliance formed and after an exhausting war, finally managed to kill her by hounding her into a candy cotton swamp where she fell victim to a trap and drowned in candy cotton.

Canon Personality:
- Super sadistic
- Prone to flying into fits of rage if something goes wrong, often resulting in someone's death
- Gluttonous and has a sweet tooth
- No remorse and little empathy
- Loves praise and positive attention and will force people to give her those
- Extremely loyal to the few that she cares about
- Actually rather smart when she isn't giving in to one of her impulses

AU History:
- Born to an Italian family including Suzi Quatro as a sister, Nina turned out to have sadistic tendencies as a child. She ended up hurting another child enough for them to be sent to a hospital (nothing serious, just a few stitches). That resulted in her parents putting her into therapy.
- Nina grew up seemingly more well-adjusted after that. But really that was more her deciding to pretend to be nice because it made people like her more. Also not wanting to upset her ~~pack~~ beloved family.
- A big thing was her telling her parents she was a girl. Nowadays she's on HRT. Treats LBGTQ folks as sorta a loosely affiliated pack.
- After Suzi decided to stay in America, Nina and Suzi's parents decided to move to America to be closer to their oldest daughter, and Nina went with them.
- Working hard, Nina became one of the popular girls in school--good at academics, sports, pretty, and likable. Also a model and even acting in a few local ads. All this to get praise. At home she'd relax with some gory media including violent video games.
- She asked out another popular girl and got shot down. She's still trying to get a girlfriend to this day.

AU Personality Differences:
The biggest difference between Momo and Nina is that Nina is actually trying to manage her worse impulses. Like, all those traits are still there, but actual consequences for hurting another child and the resulting therapy, as well as her loyalty making her want to make her ~~pack~~ family happy, resulted in her concluding that it was better to get along with society and play by its rules. Instead of indulging her worst desires she uses video games as a vent for her sadistic desires and seeks to garner positive attention by performing actions that others will find praiseworthy, such as getting as good grades as she can, being nice to people, and doing volunteer work for charities.

This isn't exactly a perfect facade, though. Occasionally a crack in the mask shows. Also she thinks she's clever for figuring out the basic social construct.

Hello, feel free to leave a message for the cute Nina.

[IC Inbox for all sorts of stuff.]

In general do whatever you want to this trashheap, but do ask first about stuff with a permanent impact.

Info that might be relevant:
- Powered by evil magical energy for anyone that can sense that.
- Dog ears and tail.
- Part hellhound.
- Smells like a mix of human, dog, and fire.
- Has lived a past life.
- Trying to be a good person despite having no native sense of remorse and little empathy.

Relevant abilities requiring permission:
- Intimidation ability that can command obedience in canines and scare non-canines (likely only a little). She won't generally be waving this ability around casually.
- Incredible sense of smell (as good as a dog's). Can pick things up like who you hugged, what you ate this morning, some stuff that you might have in your possession, if you smoked anything, traces of where you've been, your emotions, and such. Also can smell various magic stuff--this is her way of sensing magic.

Content Warning:
- Her past has an instance of animal abuse. Also her past life was up to terrible stuff including torture, cannibalism, pillaging and burning cities, stuff like that. Comment if you don't want any of that to come up.

Personal no-no's:
- No transphobia please.

Just comment here with what she might usually pick up from smelling your character (feel free to mention anything you don't want her to smell) and what impact if any her intimidation might have on your character (no impact or low impact is fine). Also if you don't want any mention of the animal abuse incident or her past life's excesses, please mention that. Requests not to tag you with this character or any other requests are fine, too. We're here to have fun, not step on each other's comfort zones.

CW: brief mention of harm to an animal.

Character Information

Name: Nina Ecarlate
Canon: Original (Memories of the Hellhound)
OU/AU/CRAU/OC: OC

World info:
It's one of those worlds much like ours, except that some people have started recalling memories from past lives and gaining things from those past lives such as abilities, physical features, and objects. All this is because some guy stumbled upon an excessively rare crack in reality and figured out how to exploit it, then used it to facilitate his wish for a more exciting world. Now monsters and other unnatural hazards from those past lives are starting to show up and the asshole is having the time of his life.

However, reality and the planet itself is beginning to fight back by employing the Recallers, the ones with past lives, as well as calling into existence its own creatures to prune down the unnatural threats.

History:
Past:
- Imagine a whimsical setting with candy cotton sinkholes, meat forests, and the like. In that world, the Evillands were areas full of evil energy to the point where it could corrupt the inhabitants, for example turning dog into hellhounds.
- An experimental to create a pacified hellhound accidentally created a powerful hellhound/human hybrid called Momo who combined the worst impulses of hellhounds and humans.
- Momo proceeded to take over every hellhound pack in sight, mustering a huge army that she led to terrorize the world.
- However, an anti-Momo alliance formed and after an exhausting war, finally managed to kill her by hounding her into a candy cotton swamp where she fell victim to a trap and drowned in candy cotton.
- Momo was reborn as Nina Ecarlate to a wealthy family in a new world (the one described in the world info).
- Nina turned out to have sadistic tendencies as a child. I won't describe what she did to a poor squirrel. However, that resulted in her alarmed parents putting her into therapy.
- Nina grew up seemingly more well-adjusted after that. But really that was more her deciding to pretend to be nice because it made people like her more.
- Working hard, Nina became one of the popular girls in school--good at academics, sports, pretty, and likable. Also a model and an actor. All this to get praise. At home she'd relax with some gory media including violent video games.
- Now a teenager, Nina's life was derailed when she got a memory of a city burning with green hellfire and woke up with dog ears and a tail.
- Soon after, she learned of others like her, the Recallers, and saw the shared hall all of them could be transported to at will.
- She gained more memories and traits like firebreathing and freakish strength.

Future:
- Nina attends a party held by other Recallers which is attacked by monsters. In that chaotic moments, she gains memories of battle and the combat skills her predecessor had. Also she cuts loose on the monsters and finds a new pleasure in killing acceptable targets.
- More monster incidents follow with Nina joining a strike force of Recallers who hunts down the monsters as they turn up.
- Also a group of Recallers fancying themselves supervillains attempt to recruit Nina. She pretends to join them and soon after betrays them to the other Recallers, resulting in the destruction of the group and the capture or death of most of its members.
- The number of incidents increase and entities calling themselves the emissaries of the planet show up.
- The emissaries point the Recallers at spots of high concentrations of unnatural energy.
- When some of the Recallers head to those points, the originator of the change in the world that led to the Recallers and the monsters activates the energy nexuses, creating massive monsters.
- After simultaneous ferocious battles across the world at the different nexuses, Recaller strike teams heading into the rifts formed by the titanic monsters' deaths.
- The teams from different nations and continents all end up at the lair of the originator. A battle starts against him that rapidly began seeming impossible, as the originator displays an endless array of abilities, fending off the teams' attacks while laying low many of them.
- Then Nina, who like the others in the strike teams had been buffed to the gills by their supporter members, used her powerful jaws to rip out the originator's throat despite having lost both arms during the fight.
- This weakened the originator enough for the strike teams to reduce him to a bloody pulp. Then when said bloody pulp kept trying to regenerate, they stationed rotating shifts to keep damaging the originator until he ran out of energy to regenerate with.
- Nina makes a full recovery with the help of her own regeneration and the healer Recallers. She gets a medal and is extremely happy about it.

Canon point: A month before the eventful party that was attacked by monsters.
Age: 16

Personality:
TL;DR a shitty person trying to be good for social points.

- She's capable of being surprisingly smart and careful. It's how she's managed to live within society despite her more unfortunate personality traits. She's lived a masquerade for most of her life, pretending she's like other people and feel the same things they do, and has managed it with few cracks showing. But at the same time she thinks she's more smart than she is.

- When she wants something enough, she can be quite driven and patient in getting it. She worked hard to develop her modeling career and was in the middle of breaking into acting. Likewise, she works hard to give a good impression to others, because she enjoys positive attention. This is one of the reasons she has good grades.

- If she likes someone enough (which is a definite if), she can be very loyal to them. Sometimes to a fault, but this is overall more positive than negative. She will absolutely stand by the few people she cares about... and do things like beat up their bullies. I did say loyal to a fault. That said, she'll be rather friendly and helpful to someone she likes enough.

- Nina lacks any ability to feel emotions like remorse or guilt. Similarly, she has no innate sense of right or wrong. This doesn't mean that she doesn't think morals are a good thing--she recognizes the value of the social contact. But any understanding of morality she has is purely intellectual. Which can be a problem when she doesn't or can't stop to think things through.

- She takes pleasure in other people's suffering. She largely keeps this under lids because she recognizes it as a very antisocial response that others won't appreciate. Most of her indulgence in this area takes the form of tormenting other players in multiplayer games and enjoying gory media and video games. But every now and then that self-control slips a little.

- Her LGBT identity is important to her. She identifies as a lesbian transgender girl. Let's just say she was glad about certain aspects of her bodily changes from becoming physically more like her past life self. She's pretty open about herself and attends some Pride events.

- She's a glutton for love and attention. On the one hand, this is partially responsible for her playing within society's rules. On the other, she's vain, spoiled, and highly susceptible to flattery. She's far more likely to do something if it'll win her praise--in fact, this is the primary motivation for her volunteer activities, charity donations, and other outward appearances of kindness. Likewise her motivation for academic excellence is partly the praise she gets and partly the ability to feel superior about it.

Character changes:
Nina's underlying personality issues are very unlikely to change but she might become somewhat better at managing them. Also the aid of the network's members might make some situations go more smoothly, like her not losing her arms in the final battle.

Capabilities:
All those abilities have some room to grow as they get stronger the more Nina uses them and the more memories involving said abilities she gains.

Fire Affinity: Nina is highly resistant to fire and heat, to the point where she can rest her hand on a hot stove-top or lie down in a bonfire without feeling discomfort. Additionally, she has flame manipulation, being able to create, move, and extinguish fires. And she can breath out fire hellhound style. Any flame created or manipulated by her is bright pink.

Ruler's Aura: Momo could intimidate others with her presence alone, especially commanding obedience from canines which is how she managed to muster a large hellhound army. Nina shares that capability to a lower degree.

Hellhound Physique: Nina is stronger and tougher than she looks--she currently has the strength to easily lift a motorcycle and is generally better able to withstand injuries. Her jaws and teeth are especially powerful, having the strength to crush bones at present. She also has an iron stomach, but she avoids eating weird or icky things anyways.

Hellhound Senses: Additionally, she has the keen hearing and sense of smell of a dog. Dogs' senses of smell, especially, can gather so much information about another creature's previous activities that I'll have a part on her permissions post just for this. Oh yeah, she can smell magic, too. Those sense abilities're already at their maturation and won't grow further.

Combat Aptitude: This is not an ability she has currently, but once the fated party happens, she'll get memories of combat and some of the sheer formidable combat skill her predecessor had.

Sample:
Thread on someone's CMO

Notes:
I'll be sure to include CWs for stuff like animal harm and graphic violence if it comes up.

Under construction (feel free to post to it anyways)

In general do whatever you want to this trashheap, but do ask first about stuff with a permanent impact.

Info that might be relevant:
- Partially daemonic human
- Dog ears and tail.
- Soul bears markings of a botched possession.
- Smells like mix of human, dog, and fire.
- Anyone who's encountered a certain hellhound lord that terrorized the Outlands with an army of other hellhounds might, if they've got the right magical senses, notice something familiar about her.

Relevant abilities requiring permission:
- Intimidation ability that can command obedience in canines and scare non-canines (likely only a little). She won't generally be waving this ability around .
- Incredible sense of smell (as good as a dog's). Can pick things up like who you hugged, what you ate this morning, some stuff that you might have in your possession, if you smoked anything, traces of where you've been, your emotions, and such. Also can smell various magic stuff--this is her way of sensing magic. She will absolutely use this sense--she's grown up with it and it's natural to her.

Content Warning:
- Her past has an instance of animal abuse. Comment if you don't want that to come up.

Personal no-no's:
- No transphobia please.

Just comment here with what she might usually pick up from smelling your character (feel free to mention anything you don't want her to smell) and what impact if any her intimidation might have on your character (no impact or low impact is fine).

CANON INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME: Nina Ecarlate
CANON: Original

STRENGTHS:
- She's capable of being surprisingly smart and careful. It's how she's managed to live within society despite the unforunate issues described in the flaws section. She's lived a masquerade for most of her life, pretending she's like other people and feel the same things they do, and has managed it with few cracks showing. She's also smart enough performing well academically hasn't been a problem for her.

- When she wants something enough, she can be quite driven and patient in getting it. She worked hard to develop her modeling career and was in the middle of breaking into acting. Likewise, she works hard to give a good impression to others, because she enjoys positive attention. This is another reason she has good grades.

- If she likes someone enough (which is a definite if), she can be very loyal to them. Sometimes to a fault, but this is overall more positive than negative. She will absolutely stand by the few people she cares about... and do things like beat up their bullies. I did say loyal to a fault. That said, she'll be rather friendly and helpful to someone she likes enough.

FLAWS:
- Nina lacks any ability to feel emotions like remorse or guilt. Similiarly, she has no innate sense of right or wrong. This doesn't mean that she doesn't think morals are a good thing--she's smart enough to recognize the value of the social contact. But any understanding of morality she has is purely intellectual. Which can be a problem when she doesn't or can't stop to think things through.

- A sometimes impulsive nature doesn't help her either. She's working on it, but she's still struggling with anger issues and a streak of sadism. This doesn't mean that she just goes around hurting people wantonly, but she might have an unfortunate outburst at someone, enjoy bullying others, or have too much fun while fighting monsters.

- She's a glutton for love and attention. On the one hand, this is partially responsible for her playing within society's rules. On the other, she's vain, spoiled, and highly suspectible to flattery. She's far more likely to do something if it'll win her praise--in fact, this is the primary motivation for her volunteer activities, charity donations, and other outward appearances of kindness. Likewise her motivation for academic excellence is partly the praise she gets and partly the ability to feel superior about it.

AU INFORMATION

AU CHARACTER NAME: Nina Ecarlate
AGE: 16
GRADE: 10th Grade
AU BACKSTORY:
Quick bullet list:
- There was a powerful hellhound called Momo who become an outright daemon lord. She gathered together a large army of other hellhounds and terrorized much of the Outlands.
- A group of angels finally brought Momo down after a fierce battle. Dying, she tried a hastily possession, but botched it, leaving fragments of herself in an infant about to be born.
- Nina was born with dog ears and tail, much to the alarm of her mundane but rich French family. They did their best to cover up and raised her in seclusion.
- Her family's alarm grew even more when they had a fire breathing toddler with the strength of an older child on their hand. And then there was the Squirrel Incident when she was six. Poor squirrel, is all I'll say about that. Nina started seeing a therapist after this.
- A Seer stopped by and explained things to them and offered to help them in exchange for her attending Daybreak Academy. Her parents refused to let her go, but they ended up negotiating for her to go when she becomes older.
- Her family went "valuable business opportunity!" when they learned about the supernatural. They started networking right away and expanding their business into the supernatural world.
- With a magical item to help conceal her ears and tail by making people overlook them, Nina was able to attend an exclusive mundane private school. She received tutoring in the supernatural and managing her powers from someone the family hired.
- Having learned to conceal her personality issues after the squirrel incident, Nina was able to become popular and well-regarded. She even became a model, though another item was necessary to make her ears look like normal ones in photos.
- However, that all fell apart when she hospitalized someone who was bullying her younger sister. Witnesses were unnerved by how much she was clearly enjoying hurting the bully and word spread. Not much exaggeration was needed. Her popularity pummeled, and her parents had to make settlements and deals to keep her out of trouble.
- Her parents were at a loss how to deal with her, when the Seer returned to pick her up. This time they let her go, hoping that Daybreak Academy could help her where they and a dedicated child psychologist couldn't.

RACE: Partially daemonic human
SECRET SOCIETY: While she has no membership in a secret society (other than attending Daybreak Academy), her family has cultivated business links with many secret societies.

POWERS:
Fire Affinity: Due to having fragments of a powerful hellhound's soul in her soul, Nina is highly resistant to fire and heat, to the point where she can rest her hand on a hot stovetop or lie down in a bonfire without feeling discomfort. Additionally, she has basic flame manipulation, being able to create, move, and extingish moderate fires (big enough to engulf a human but not much more). And she can breath out fire hellhound style. Any flame created or manipulated by her is dark purple. This ability has room to grow, going up to large infernos and being able to bathe in lava.

Ruler's Aura: Momo could intimidate others with her presence alone, especially commanding obedience from canines which is how she managed to muster a large hellhound army. Nina shares that capability to a lesser measure. At the moment, she can cow ordinary canines (normal dogs and the like) into obedience and unnerve other animals and people. This has room to grow, eventually allowing her to command hellhounds. However, this is more generally herding them toward a desired action than taming them--given a chance they will act on their vicious and hungry natures. Canine lycanthorpes and the like may be affected, but it'll be a lesser effect. I'll do a permission post for this.

Hellhound Physique: Due to the influence of her daemonic corruption, Nina is stronger and tougher than she looks--she has the strength to easily lift a motorcycle and is generally better able to withstand injuries. Her jaws and teeth are especially powerful, having the strength to crush bones. Like the other abilities, this has room to grow, making her stronger and tougher and allowing her to bite through metal. She also has an iron stomach, but she avoids eating weird or icky things anyways.

Hellhound Senses: Additionally, she has the keen hearing and sense of smell of a dog. Dogs' senses of smell, especially, can garner so much information that a permission post might be necessary. For example, she can often get a sense of where someone's been and who they've been physically close to. If you've hugged or even had sex with someone? She'll smell it. Smoked pot? She'll smell it even after the scent's become too subtle for humans. What you ate for breakfast this morning? Easy peasy. And so on. Oh yeah, she can smell magic, too.

Combat Aptitude: Due to the combative nature of the hellhound lord, learning to fight comes naturally to Nina. All this really does is make her learn combat skills as fast and easily as the more gifted player characters.

RP SAMPLE

INTERVIEW SAMPLE PROMPT
(The following scenario is available to all characters who are apping in and is considered canon - before formal admittance into Daybreak Academy the administrative staff will give a series of questions and prompts to get a better feel for the character. Respond to the prompts in-character. Characters may lie, mark if they do with the word "lie" in parenthesis after the question answer.)

1. WHAT DO YOU MOST DESIRE FOR YOUR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE?
Not getting in trouble. You know why I'm here, seriously.

2. WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE IN THE FUTURE?
Not getting in trouble. I guess I'd like to be a movie actor. Like, the first actor with dog ears. You know?

3. DESCRIBE YOUR IDEA OF AN IDEAL SCHOOL EXPERIENCE.
One where I don't lose control and mess someone up. And one where my little sister doesn't get bullied.

4. WHAT IS ESSENTIAL FOR A SCHOOL TO OFFER TO ITS STUDENTS?
A good education. And a safe, bully-free environment.

5. WHAT DO YOU FEEL MOST LIMITS YOU FROM ACHIEVING YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL?
Come on, you know this already. I have this thing where I, like, get really mad and stuff.

6. WHAT COURSE WORK EXCITES YOU? WHY?
You know, I'm not really in a mood for the usual inane questionarie. I'm being packaged off here because my parents don't know what else to do with me. What? I have to answer this anyways? Fine, here. I really like social studies.

7. WHAT COURSE WORK DO YOU DETEST MOST? WHY?
I don't have any that I don't like. (Total lie.)

8. WHAT ACTIVITIES DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN OUTSIDE YOUR EDUCATION?
Let's see, volunteer work, modeling work, school council, I was beginning to get a few acting gigs in ads and stuff. A few other things, too.

9. WHEN GIVEN FREE TIME, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?
I like to make the best of what free time I do have. I relax and read, or I look at photography and art. (Not quite a lie, but misleading to give a more positive impression of her internet activities.)

10. WHEN UNDER PRESSURE OF A TIGHT DEADLINE, HOW DO YOU RESPOND?
I respond very well to pressure. You've seen my grades, they're a good indicator of how I handle deadlines.

11. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR PEERS?
I expect them to perform to the best of their capabilities. Everyone's got their own unique strengths and weaknesses. (True but phrased in a more nice way.)

12. WHEN WORKING IN A GROUP, HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE TO ACHIEVE YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL?
I like to take a leadership role and find a role for everyone. I do my spare of work, too.

13. DO YOU FEEL YOU CAN RELY ON YOUR PEERS, OR DO YOU FEEL YOU MUST EXCEL ON YOUR OWN?
I've found that some things I can rely on my peers for and others I can best do myself.

14. IN THIS EVER-CHANGING WORLD, WHAT MOST EXCITES YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE?
The prospect of making a positive impact on the world and... Oh, who are we kidding, we're looking at the end of the world. You know what excites me? The idea of getting to cut loose and fight whatever's causing that.

15. WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE DO YOU FEAR THE MOST?
I'm out of pat answers to those.

16. WHAT MEMORIES DO YOU HOPE TO HOLD AT THE END OF YOUR JOURNEY?
A happy, peaceful school life. But I suppose that won't be likely.

17. WHAT IN THE FUTURE DO YOU FEAR THE MOST?
What, this question again?

( The yummy combination )

First off, and I want to put this in flashing neon lights, her past life and her current/AU life history both contain violence against people and animals, some of it really unpleasant. If you want to opt out, just comment here (it's screened) and I'll avoid talking about that sort of stuff around you, or even avoid threading with you if you so request.
