Intro And Plotting
INTRO POST
!Welcome to Alexandria...
Thanks for coming to this little hole in the wall sandbox! Everything you might need to know is here but we'll add a comment below if any other questions come up!
This is a very make your own story sandbox. While there might be some gamewide plots eventually, they'll happen in such a way that the most hyper responsible character isn't gifted with plausible deniability. Think of it this way. Think what if Batman had to deal with the Joker while the Justice League was dealing with an invasion of aliens before they reached Earth. Batman won't have to worry about those aliens in this case because Wonder Woman and Superman got this and he's got his own troubles right now.
It's okay if your character is doing their own thing, because the Library has people who have got this. But that doesn't mean they won't turn down the help when those situations arise, especially if those situations are threats from your home universe.
To help out, we're including a helpful plotting form below. If you haven't yet, please join here under the cast list so people will have access to your info card. Happy playing and plotting!

Character Questions:
Tell us about your character?: A tsundere tough-attitude magical girl with trauma she lugs around behind her in trash bags. Her brand of magical girl has significant downsides: It requires maintenance (a Soul Gem that needs purifying or else she runs out of magic and Becomes Monster) -- and, well, that whole "will Become Monster" thing. Even having too many emotions can quicken the Become Monster! What a shitty time to be a teenage girl, amirite?
In particular, she is from a canonical alternate timeline where things go a bit different than they do in the anime. She ultimately makes amends with her senpai and decides she wants to live to atone for her sins, and then... dies. Which is always fun!
She spent some time on the VoidTrecker Express, where she realized she had a crush on her senpai, decided against dying and instead actually (gasp) asked for help, and had an on-again, off-again relationship with the concept of working as a team. She also got herself an unofficial adoption with Yondu, including a sweet coat, and a special bracer made by AU Usagi that will help keep her Soul Gem from hatching into a Witch in case the worst should happen. (But I've also realized that this could horribly backfire, but that's a plot I want to hold off on pulling the trigger on for now.)
Unfortunately, she was relying on people on the train to purify her Soul Gem -- She needs item drops from Witches in order to purify it normally, or cross-canon power shenanigans. So now that she's here, she's going to need to find another solution.
Do you need help having your character arrive?: —
What has your character been up to on screen?: —
What has your character been up to off-screen?: When I finally post with her, she'll be a fresh arrival to the Library, but... Off-screen, she'll do some slinking around the city getting her bearings, mostly. And being pissed about getting lost from the train while denying to herself that's what she's mad about. She's definitely defaulted back to her old survival habits of "steal habitation, steal food." And she's been snooping about investigating magic signals, especially anything pinging as remotely familiar.
What plans or ambitions does your character have?: Step one: Survive. Step two: ??? Step Three: Profit?
She's listless and more confused and scared than she's going to let on. She was starting to gain traction with these concepts called "purpose" and "belonging" back on the VoidTrain, and now her life's been turned upside down again. Frankly, she doesn't even know where to start. She'll honestly be happiest if she's given some kind of structure outside of "survive" again, and helping out the Library is a great place to start with that, once she gets pointed in that direction.
Does your character need help with their plans (or need them thwarted after a point)?:
- Help point her towards working for the Library
- Help with that whole Not Become Monster thing
On that second point, there's no keeping Kyoko from dipping back home briefly to at least like, check in on things. And I think from there, the Incubators will either find out about the Library or hitch a ride over with her, and from there spread like the horrible little rats that they are. And then there will be magical girls all over the multiverses! And... Witches, too, because, yeah, that whole Become Monster thing. And that means Kyoko will be able to get Grief Seeds! But also... Incubators and Witches. Hm.
But yes, any other purification options would also be A++.
no subject
A huge part of the Andromeda universe is that celestial bodies are sentient. Which is nutty, but they all have Avatars. It takes you a long time to find out Trance Gemini is an Avatar.
But sometimes something that's the opposite of a Celestial body has an avatar. It's the Spirit of the Abyss.
Spirit of the Abyss (or just the Abyss for short) was the Heat Death of the universe given form. It would watch over and over as the universe died out but started again, and was so agrieved by the situation it just decided fuck it, it was gonna try to rush the end of the universe.
So fifty years before in this fake-ass timeline the Abyss was actively destroyed, leaving the fate of the universe back to chance and a very, very advanced species that could build whole suns easily. This universe has actually literally already mastered heat death.
(I'm fudging things a little though 'cause Season 5 was so absolutely terrible.) So the Incubators trying to intefere would be super unwelcome and worthy of a 'so I need to know more' conversation.
