OTHER CHARACTER(S) IN GAME: James Griffin (Voltron: Legendary Defender
CANON INFORMATION
CHARACTER NAME: Miach Mihie
CANON: Harmony (by Project Itoh)
HISTORY: Harmony is wiki-less and I am its only fan, so here's a write-up. CW for CSA and suicide.
• Harmony canon is set in the very late 21st century, ca. 50 years past a nuclear apocalypse known as the Maelstrom. As most of humanity was wiped out in the Maelstrom, societes have reformed according to a system known as Lifeism. To preserve the human race, health has become the top value. Every body is regarded as a public resource and your first duty is to be healthy. This is enforced via nanotech that is inserted into adult bodies. It's a software called WatchMe that measures everyone's lifestyle and cures all ailments before they show symptoms. The majority of countries have adapted to this system and only few areas are offline from WatchMe.
• Far from Lifeism, Miach is born in Chechnya to a tribe of indigenous people who are not in contact with the outside world. Their special trait is a recessive genetic combination that surfaces within this community due to the inbreeding that results from their secluded lifestyle. This genetic combination means that Miach's people live without a 'consciousness'. Within Harmony canon 'consciousness' is defined as having a hyperbolic value system – overvaluing what is immediately in front of you. Because of this, humans have to make reflected choices between their instinctive sense of value and their logical reasoning. This conflict does not exist for Miach's people. Their value system is not hyperbolic and thus they never experience conflicted feelings. They may experience joy and sadness, but they experience it as self-evident. Reflection is impossible for them. They make no choices, every action taken is taken because of the best logical conclusion the individual can make. No self-reflection, thus no 'self' in the traditional sense.
• Miach lives in this state until she is 8, which is when the war raging in Russian areas reaches even her remote birthplace. Miach is sold into sexual slavery and kept in a camp of Russian soldiers. During her days of torture, her brain undergoes changes. In rare situations that call for it, other areas of the brain can adapt and perform the functions that the normally responsible parts of the brain are unable to fulfill. So for the sake of survival, another part of Miach's brain creates an imitation consciousness. The new-found hyperbolic value system helps Miach hold out and survive.
• Miach is eventually saved from the camp and put through excessive therapy before being put up for adoption in the Lifeism-dominated country of Japan. There she begins the normal existence of a school-girl.
• When she is 12, the neigbour boy hangs himself, alerting Miach of a growing trend of child suicides within lifeist society. She becomes more heavily critical of Lifeism than ever, seeing it as a system that suffocates and kills people with its mandatory prescription of kindness.
• Once she enters middle school, Miach starts making suicide attempts of her own. She slashes her own wrists several times, tries to overeat and to starve, but none of her attempts succeed.
• In high school, Miach befriends her classmates Tuan Kirie and Cian Reikado, who are both also fed up with Lifeism. She becomes their ideologue, telling them all sort of things she has learned about the world before Lifeism from the numerous books she reads. She speaks to them about how exploitable WatchMe is and how easy it would be to kill people by changing the programming.
• Eventually Miach comes up with a shared suicide plan for the three of them. By modifying a medcare unit in her home, she develops pills that hinder the digestive system from processing nutrition, leading to starvation even while the person taking the pills is eating. Miach's intention is to make a statement with their three deaths. 'We won't grow up, we won't accept WatchMe, we're not a public resource, our bodies are our own'. She thinks that since their bodies are the most important resource to current society, the best way to launch a attack on it is to die. Her friends reluctantly agree to the suicide pact.
• Miach burns all her books to rid herself or worldly attachments and be able to go through with her plan.
• Her friend Cian quits the pact and alerts adults of what they have been doing. Tuan is rushed to a hospital and Miach is brought to an experimentation facility. Her personality and differing brain structure have made her of interest to science. Officially, she is regarded as having died. In truth, she is brought to Baghdad, which is the capital of medical research in Harmony canon.
• There she is kept within the giant facility Dian Cécht and experimented on by a group of government officials named the Next Gen Human Behavior Monitoring Group. This group has brought numerous suicidal children here in order to find a way to 'cure' them and make it possible for them to exist peacefully within the admedistrative system. Aside from the experiments, Miach continues to receive a school education here.
• This roughly equates the canon-point I'll take her from for Daybreak Academy, but if you want a full-canon write-up, I'll provide the rest as well.
STRENGTHS:
• KNOWLEDGEABLE. There is scarcely a person more curious than Miach. Miach absorbs knowledge like a sponge. Her hobby is to read and anything she reads, she usually retains. She's a trivia machine who can and will recount the minute details of some random historical event at the drop of a hat... but she's also adept for studying things like chemistry or computers. Picking up new skills comes very easily to her and she learns how to apply them to her goals very quickly.
• CHARISMATIC. Even though she's a certified Loner(tm), Miach knows how to fascinate the people that catch her eye. She speaks smoothly and with an air of mystery around her that ties people of suspectible mind right to her. Her great many ideas about the world are always conveyed in clear terms - even though Miach knows to present herself as smart, she makes sure that she's easy to follow.
• SELF-ASSURED. Miach seldom doubts herself. She thinks things through for herself very carefully and once she's reached a conclusion, she is completely convinced of it. Second-guessing is not usually in her nature. As such, she impresses other people with her strength of will.
FLAWS:
• MALICIOUS. Miach is fascinated by all things grotesque and morbid. Human ability to hurt oneself is one of her favourite things. She loves observing the various ways people can cause pain for themselves and others - and she especially takes a joy in seeing all the ways society ends up hurting those it is meant to protect. Miach can often come across as callous for this reason. She does wish for happiness and content for all at her core, but that has not made her overall empathetic to the plights of those she doesn't find deserving.
• SELF-ABSORBED. Though Miach is charismatic and manipulative, her universe ultimately centers around herself and her own perception of reality. She can recognize patterns of behaviour in other people and play them to her advantage, but she doesn't have a deeper understanding of their emotions... and often, she simply forgets to think of them entirely. This leaves her vulnerable to surprises when she's caused an unexpected emotional reaction in somebody else.
• MELANCHOLY. Miach is always longing. The past happiness she felt when she was still with her village is something she can never attain again. Even though she doesn't consciously realize that this is the core of her longing, it's an ever-present feeling. She's never fully at ease where she is and she's always trying to chase a forgotten feeling.
CANON ABILITIES: Miach is very, very smart. This enables her to do creepy shit like making new drugs and hacking people's brains. Otherwise she is ordinary.
AU INFORMATION
AU CHARACTER NAME: Miach Mihie
AGE: 15
GRADE: 10
AU BACKSTORY:
CW: suicide mention.
• Out in the mountains of Chechnya, there used to be a seemingly indigenous population that lived secluded and hardly even had contact with its direct neighbours. Though they looked human, they were actually Outlands creatures that had migrated from the Outlands into the human world a few hundred years ago, to live in peace among their kind. A nameless tribe in a nameless village. This is where Miach is born.
• Miach's people are human in all visible aspects, but their brains and minds are structured differently. They don't experience 'conciousness' the way most creatures do. Instead of living in conflict between rationality and short term desires, Miach's people only experience certainty. There is no self-reflection, there is only self-evident action. Choices are only ever obvious. It's a people that physically cannot experience conflicted emotion.
• When Miach is 7 years old, the village's peace is disturbed. A violent Outlands clan has found their location and comes to destroy the village. The adults of Miach's people are slaughtered, while the children and teenagers are taken into captivity.
• Miach spends a year in the Outlands, as a child-slave. She is tortured and mistreated in various ways. This traumatic experience causes her brain structure to change in order to adapt to the situation. She quite literally 'grows' a consciousness and thus attains the ability to feel complex emotion.
• The Outlands clan that holds Miach also takes hostages from other places and species, which eventually leads to their discovery by the Blade of Marmora - a Galra werewolf splinter group that fights injustice. Miach and her fellow child slaves are liberated.
• The Blade of Marmora erroneously classify Miach as human and turn her over to human Hunters. Those give her into therapy and then give her up for adoption.
• Miach is adopted by a very conservative Japanese couple.
• She grows up here fairly normally, until the boy next door commits suicide when she's 12 years old. This gets her thinking about how the peaceful looking urban society still has its trappings for the people in it. She grows fascinated with the fact that people who don't even know of Outlands horrors still wish to escape from their world. Human society, built on the lie that supernatural horror doesn't exist, is still ineffective in keeping people happy. Thinking about that begins eating Miach up.
• Miach spends the next three years reading all she can about human cruelty and about magic as well. She begins to feel more and more disenchanted with human society.
• Thus she decides on an act of Teenage Rebellion. She wants to make a statement, wants to open the eyes of whiny teenagers to the true terrors they are sheltered from...... so she summons a demon in school. The incident is resolved non-fatally, but there are several injured.
• Obviously the Hunters who brought her to her adoptive family are not amused with this dangerous action and Miach's general breech of supernatural secrecy - thus she's removed from her adoptive family and sent to Daybreak Academy. Though she is presumed to be human and without inherent magic, her ability to work spells is seen as enough justification to get her into the school
AU PERSONALITY DEVIATION:
CW for suicide.
• The most major difference to canonical Miach is that Daybreak's version is not majorly suicidal. Her canonical fascination with death and dying to prove autonomy is replaced with a fascination with Nightfall.
• Generally, Daybreak!Miach doesn't have a strongly defined code of ideals like canon!Miach does. In canon Miach knows exactly what about human society she dislikes and wants to destroy. In AU, Miach's not yet as radical. She's more of an observer and her criticism are still growing within her.
RACE: Human-like Outlands creature from an unnamed clan/species.
SECRET SOCIETY: None. Her village was wiped out and her connection to her heritage is completely cut off due to it. She's under surveillance by an undefined group of Hunters that aided her rescue.
POWERS:
• Miach's people have the inherent ability to suck emotion out of other sentient creatures. Historically, this has been used to erase uncertainty in other species and assist them in rational goal-finding. After her people went to exile, the skill has been largely forgotten. Miach has yet to rediscover it. When she does, she will initially only suck happiness from her victims as she's subconsciously trying to get her hands on the joy she craves for herself. Over time, she can learn to consciously control which feeling to take and in what amount. She herself experiences the feeling she takes very, very weakly - it doesn't truly impact her mind much.
This ability only works when Miach is in skin contact with somebody. It is generally turned on by will, but will be volatile and random in her initial phase of re-discovering it.
• Miach is sort-of immune to brainwashing. Her consciousness resides in a different part of the brain as is usual, thus normal brainwashing or mindhacking can easily miss the mark or have unexpected consequences and effects. Influencing Miach's mind in any precise way may need some practice. It is not impossible, however.
• Miach has an interest in studying witchcraft. Any potions and spells that don't require more than a base level of inherent magical ability are achievable for her.
HOUSING: No preference.
RP SAMPLE
1. WHAT IS ESSENTIAL FOR A SCHOOL TO OFFER TO ITS STUDENTS?
Solitude. I can't stand all these noisy masses. Can you? Social engagement without any substance... It makes me weary.
2. WHAT DO YOU FEEL MOST LIMITS YOU FROM ACHIEVING YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL?
That's a rather complicated question. The human society I was shoved into is one that won't even let you guess at your own potential. Summoning that demon? That was easy. Who's to say what more I can do? This world has tried all it could to obscure the options for me - for everyone.
3. WHAT COURSE WORK EXCITES YOU? WHY?
I like history. All the little repeating patterns of failure over the course of it... All the ideas that were rejected and tossed aside over time... That kind of thing is exciting, isn't it?
4. WHAT COURSE WORK DO YOU DETEST MOST? WHY?
The entire education system is a drag.
5. WHEN UNDER PRESSURE OF A TIGHT DEADLINE, HOW DO YOU RESPOND?
I don't do the work. If I'm under pressure, then it's because I found something more worthwhile to do than my assignment. It doesn't usually happen, but if it did, why would I limit my enjoyment by going back to homework?
6. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR PEERS?
Nothing.
7. WHEN WORKING IN A GROUP, HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE TO ACHIEVE YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL?
I'll usually let the rest of the group sort it out. It's not like there's anything important riding on class work.
8. DO YOU FEEL YOU CAN RELY ON YOUR PEERS, OR DO YOU FEEL YOU MUST EXCEL ON YOUR OWN?
There is no element of 'must' to it. I prefer to work on my own and I'll gain results that way, but report cards are meaningless in the face of the comin apocalypse.
9. IN THIS EVER-CHANGING WORLD, WHAT MOST EXCITES YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE?
I cannot wait to see how long it takes all the sheltered humans to realize what's truly going on.
10. WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE DO YOU FEAR THE MOST?
I'm not afraid. In order to be afraid, you need something you stand to lose. I like my books, of course, but to say I'm scared of losing them would be an overstatement... Especially in exchange for Nightfall. It's a fully unique event of history to witness after all.

THE CHARACTER
Character Name: Miach Mihie
Series: Harmony
Canon Point: during the timeskip, when she is kept at the Dian Cécht research facility but has not experienced Harmony yet
Character Age: 18
Background: Here is the wiki-page of the Harmony movie, which is the closest thing I can get to a wiki on the novel, which I am actually playing from. Below, I have summarized Miach's backstory within the required word count, but due to the convoluted nature of the canon, I'm afraid that might not be enough? So here is a longer version, which you are free to disregard.
- • In Harmony most of humanity was wiped out and societies have reformed according to a system known as Lifeism. Health has become the top value. This is enforced via nanotech within your body: a software called WatchMe measures everyone's lifestyle and cures all ailments before they show symptoms. Only few areas of the world are offline from WatchMe.
• Far from Lifeism, Miach is born in Chechnya to indigenous people who are not in contact with the outside world. Their special trait is a recessive genetic combination that results in Miach's people living without a 'consciousness'. Within Harmony canon 'consciousness' is defined as having a hyperbolic value system, which causes the need to make reflected choices between one's instinctive sense of value and logical reasoning. This conflict does not exist for Miach's people.
• Miach lives in this state until she is 8, which is when a war reaches her remote birthplace. Miach is sold into sexual slavery. During her days of torture, her brain undergoes changes. For the sake of survival, another part of Miach's brain creates an imitation consciousness.
• Miach is eventually saved and put up for adoption in the Lifeism-dominated country of Japan.
• When she is 12, the neigbour boy hangs himself, alerting Miach of a growing trend of child suicides within lifeist society. She becomes more heavily critical of Lifeism.
• Once she enters middle school, Miach starts making suicide attempts of her own.
• In high school, Miach befriends two classmates, who are both also fed up with Lifeism. She becomes their ideologue and speaks to them about how exploitable WatchMe is.
• Eventually Miach comes up with a shared suicide plan for the three of them. She thinks that since their bodies are the most important resource to current society, the best way to launch a attack on it is to die.
• One friend quits the pact and alerts adults. As a result, Miach is secretly brought to Baghdad, were she is kept within a facility called Dian Cécht and experimented on by a group of government officials. They have brought numerous suicidal children here in order to find a way to make it possible for them to exist peacefully within admedistrative system.
Though she stays there for a much longer time period, Miach will be pulled from three years into this process for the sake of El Nysa.
Personality:
- Miach is a loner. Tired of the compassion-focused society around her, she has made it her mission to not play along. She purposely keeps her distance from people trying to befriend her and only talks to others when absolutely necessary. However, she will seek out those who don't seem to fit in and who don't seem like they can bring themselves to care about much besides themselves. Her friendship with Cian and Tuan was her initiation each. Other misfits appear as possible comrades in a fight against the world to Miach.
When she's with her companions, it becomes apparent that despite her loner attitude, Miach likes to talk. More than anything she likes to tell stories of society prior to Lifeism, as she has read about it in books. She's an endless chatterbox of information about the early twentieth century. But of course, she does not share this trivia for no reason. What Miach is truly getting at is always a criticism of the Lifeism society that treats humans like public property. The reason stories about privacy (a word only referring to sex anymore in Miach's time), injury and illness fascinate her is that she loathes the way her society has gotten rid of these things. Miach advocates for the right to harm yourself, let it be via unhealthy diets, self-harm, substance abuse or even prostitution. In Miach's opinion society has no right to determine what you can and can't do with your body because it is your own only. The idea of harm to herself is appealing to Miach because it's forbidden and thus a form of protest.
She believes that it's bizarre that humans are expected to regulate themselves internally. After all she saw during her time in war, Miach believes human nature is inherently barbaric and that suppressing this means breaking some part of what humans naturally are. She doesn't want to support a system that breaks people to the point of killing themselves. Thus she has declared to never grow up, never have WatchMe installed in her body, never play along.
Tuan describes Miach as an ideologue with a great charisma. In their group of three friends, Miach is the one pulling the others along and deciding what to feel and believe.
Miach's hatred of the world also takes dangerous shapes. She takes pleasure in pointing out how easily the medical system could be abused in order to kill millions of people at once. “It's just a matter of wanting to” is her favourite phrase in that regard. She doesn't have any negative feelings about the death of others. Miach thinks it's better to just think of yourself first and foremost.
For a hobby, Miach reads books. In her time this is unusual since paper books have died out. Miach used to seek out niche print shops to personally get the books she downloads from the net printed. Prior to being taken to the facility, she spent all her money on this and amassed an impressive amount of paper books from before the Maelstrom. Reading is one of the few things she has any real attachment to. In fact, before her final suicide attempt she has Tuan burn her books for her, claiming that she wouldn't be able to leave if she didn't rid herself of the things that gave her strength beforehand. She likes to say that by reading she is making herself sharper – to become a knife, to become an educated public enemy.
While these are the most important infos about Miach at her chosen canon point, it is also important to mention the direction her character can go into. Canonically, Miach does not shy down from terrorism via brainwashing thousands of people into suicide. Among them is even her own friend Cian. To reach her goals, Miach will do anything and sacrifice anyone.
It would be easy to deduce here that she just doesn't care about her friends, but that is not exactly true either. In her final breaths, she is concerned with whether or not Tuan forgives her all she's done. She may place her goals above her friends, but in her own way she cares about Tuan and Cian, demonstrating her ability to grow attachement generally.
Also important is that her attitude about the world has the potential to make a face heel turn. In canon, Miach has her consciousness temporarily removed again in Dian Cécht and this makes her see the whole world in a different light. Now thinking that a consciousness itself is what keeps humans from being able to be happy, Miach decides she loves the (now seen as salvageable) world after all and wants to save it by removing everyone's consciousness.
Though she hardly remembers her childhood prior to gaining a consciousness, Miach idealizes the state of conflict-free ease before it immensely. Her hatred of the world is directly related to the world falling short of this ideal. Once shown a way to 'fix' what is wrong with humanity once and for all, Miach's hatred disperses into nothing.
Miach is a character who exists between the extremes of idealizing a state without 'self' and desperately fighting to keep her individuality. In the Lifeism society nothing disgusts Miach more than having her autonomy taken from her, but in a no-consciousness world she perceives it as harmonic to lose her self.
Basically as long as her consciousness has to exist, she will protect her individuality with all she has, but if there's a way to rid herself of it completely then that appears ideal to Miach. She works with the conditions given in front of her.
Powers/Abilities:
Power Nerfs (if applicable): N/A
Inventory: Simple clothes appropriate for a medical facility. Nothing else.
Incentives: Miach desires knowledge and solitude, ideally in correlation to one another. Books that she never had access to before and the space to read them in peace and quiet are a good reward for her. Even beyond the written word, Miach loves learning about societies. Though she despises being integrated into society, observing what makes it tick is her favorite pastime. So long as there's a learning opportunity, she'll thus likely put up with tasks for at least a bit.

History:
- • Harmony canon is set in the very late 21st century, ca. 50 years past a nuclear apocalypse known as the Maelstrom. As most of humanity was wiped out in the Maelstrom, societes have reformed according to a system known as Lifeism. To preserve the human race, health has become the top value. Every body is regarded as a public resource and your first duty is to be healthy. This is enforced via nanotech that is inserted into adult bodies. It's a software called WatchMe that measures everyone's lifestyle and cures all ailments before they show symptoms. The majority of countries have adapted to this system and only few areas are offline from WatchMe.
• Far from Lifeism, Miach is born in Chechnya to a tribe of indigenous people who are not in contact with the outside world. Their special trait is a recessive genetic combination that surfaces within this community due to the inbreeding that results from their secluded lifestyle. This genetic combination means that Miach's people live without a 'consciousness'. Within Harmony canon 'consciousness' is defined as having a hyperbolic value system – overvaluing what is immediately in front of you. Because of this, humans have to make reflected choices between their instinctive sense of value and their logical reasoning. This conflict does not exist for Miach's people. Their value system is not hyperbolic and thus they never experience conflicted feelings. They may experience joy and sadness, but they experience it as self-evident. Reflection is impossible for them. They make no choices, every action taken is taken because of the best logical conclusion the individual can make. No self-reflection, thus no 'self' in the traditional sense.
• Miach lives in this state until she is 8, which is when the war raging in Russian areas reaches even her remote birthplace. Miach is sold into sexual slavery and kept in a camp of Russian soldiers. During her days of torture, her brain undergoes changes. In rare situations that call for it, other areas of the brain can adapt and perform the functions that the normally responsible parts of the brain are unable to fulfill. So for the sake of survival, another part of Miach's brain creates an imitation consciousness. The new-found hyperbolic value system helps Miach hold out and survive.
• Miach is eventually saved from the camp and put through excessive therapy before being put up for adoption in the Lifeism-dominated country of Japan. There she begins the normal existence of a school-girl.
• When she is 12, the neigbour boy hangs himself, alerting Miach of a growing trend of child suicides within lifeist society. She becomes more heavily critical of Lifeism than ever, seeing it as a system that suffocates and kills people with its mandatory prescription of kindness.
• Once she enters middle school, Miach starts making suicide attempts of her own. She slashes her own wrists several times, tries to overeat and to starve, but none of her attempts succeed.
• In high school, Miach befriends her classmates Tuan Kirie and Cian Reikado, who are both also fed up with Lifeism. She becomes their ideologue, telling them all sort of things she has learned about the world before Lifeism from the numerous books she reads. She speaks to them about how exploitable WatchMe is and how easy it would be to kill people by changing the programming.
• Eventually Miach comes up with a shared suicide plan for the three of them. By modifying a medcare unit in her home, she develops pills that hinder the digestive system from processing nutrition, leading to starvation even while the person taking the pills is eating. Miach's intention is to make a statement with their three deaths. 'We won't grow up, we won't accept WatchMe, we're not a public resource, our bodies are our own'. She thinks that since their bodies are the most important resource to current society, the best way to launch a attack on it is to die. Her friends reluctantly agree to the suicide pact.
• Miach burns all her books to rid herself or worldly attachments and be able to go through with her plan.
• Her friend Cian quits the pact and alerts adults of what they have been doing. Tuan is rushed to a hospital and Miach is brought to an experimentation facility. Her personality and differing brain structure have made her of interest to science. Officially, she is regarded as having died. In truth, she is brought to Baghdad, which is the capital of medical research in Harmony canon.
• There she is kept within the giant facility Dian Cécht and experimented on by a group of government officials named the Next Gen Human Behavior Monitoring Group. This group has brought numerous suicidal children here in order to find a way to 'cure' them and make it possible for them to exist peacefully within the admedistrative system. Aside from the experiments, Miach continues to receive a school education here.
Though she stays there for a much longer time period, Miach will be pulled from three years into this process for the sake of Quiet Place.
Personality:
- Miach is a loner. Tired of the compassion-focused society around her, she has made it her mission to not play along. She purposely keeps her distance from people trying to befriend her and only talks to others when absolutely necessary. However, she will seek out those who don't seem to fit in and who don't seem like they can bring themselves to care about much besides themselves. Her friendship with Cian and Tuan was her initiation each. Other misfits appear as possible comrades in a fight against the world to Miach.
When she's with her companions, it becomes apparent that despite her loner attitude, Miach likes to talk. More than anything she likes to tell stories of society prior to Lifeism, as she has read about it in books. She's an endless chatterbox of information about the early twentieth century.

In Miach's opinion society has no right to determine what you can and can't do with your body because it is your own only.

She doesn't want to support a system that breaks people to the point of killing themselves. Thus she has declared to never grow up, never have WatchMe installed in her body, never play along.

[ It's not unusual to be back here and Miach doesn't feel any particular discomfort at the sight of the rundown bunker now. It's smaller than it is in her memories, even in the world of her dreams. She's grown past being hurt by it, she thinks. For a moment she considers going inside, but then she thinks better of it and climbs to the roof. It's easy in a dream, though even then the hard facade of the building hurts her bare feet. Why are they bare...? Oh, Miach thinks and smiles. She's wearing rags, of course she is. It gives an experience of being alive that's lost in her waking world.
From the roof, she has a good view on the valley below, on an ending battle. The freedom fighters that had saved her in reality seem to be losing here. They're bleeding, there's blood and dirt, and dirt and blood and dirt again. Miach's own feet are bloody as well, she notices with a mixture of disgust and amusement, and kicks them in the air as she watches the carnage. ]

IC • physical violence perfectly fine by me! Minor injuries and violent reactions such as a punch don't need prior plotting with me, but if you want to injure Miach more severely, hit me up and we can discuss! OPT-OUT • Miach is a character who comes with the content warnings CSA, self-harm and suicide attached. While CSA is generally unlikely to come up, Miach talks a lot about the other two. Please let me know if you are not comfortable with any of these and I will avoid them. If you would not like to play with Miach at all, also note it here. All comments are screened. There are seriously no hard feelings whatsoever if you don't want to deal with her... everything. |
