Memory Prompts: The struggle of playing an OC is that I have to write up everything from scratch, so I'm throwing out some memory ideas and ones I want to share or think would be interesting, and doing full write-ups for whichever I decide to put in the communal bank and what people want to play with.
Past life memories. Sunrise has some memories from the girl who she was revived from! Her name was Tabira, and she was vastly different from Sunrise because she actually had a real, full life and properly grew up as a person should. Characters will experience these memories the way Sunrise remembers them: a weird, dissociative filter of being in the driver's seat yet not actually "experiencing" or "feeling" whatever is happening to them. They just "know" things. Some I'm thinking of are:
- Isara, Tabira's younger sister, is testing out a new sword that Tabira has forged. Notably, Isara is not actually as interested in forging swords as she is in actually wielding one and seems to want to properly practice swordsmanship, which is kind of a problem when they're smiths by trade first and foremost. You can also learn they come from a caste-based society. - Tabira with another girl around her age, apparently meeting in secret. Anjali has brought imported makeup with her and wants to try them out on Tabira, who relents after she flustered resistance because it'd make her happy. Anjali is pleased with the results and kisses Tabira on the corner of her mouth afterwards. - (cw: kidnapping) Tabira and Anjali have made plans to run away from the city and meet up...except Anjali's family has caught them in the act. They both try to run anyway but end up captured. Tabira gets dragged away to somewhere else. It is not hard to figure out this does not end well for her.
Sunrise's resurrection. "Why is Sunrise like this?" It's because Isara and Isara's best friend tried to revive Tabira and got her instead. What starts out as relief and joy that whatever ritual they did worked soon gives way to horror and crushing despair when they realise it did not work as intended. Two teenagers have Committed Serious Crimes for nothing and they know it! And Sunrise gets to watch it all happen while she has barely any idea what's going on and in grappling with suddenly existing.
Assorted opera troupe memories. Sunrise works backstage for a travelling troupe, and she's mentioned some of the other members to people in Austice. I'll probably do memories involving specific individual members, related to things about Sunrise. Right now I have: - How Sunrise got her current name ("Mr. Radiant Voice") - Why Sunrise wears gloves all the time ("Mr. Day") - Sunrise's history of ghostbusting and her dealing with someone else who is ???undead??? ("Ms. Velvet") - How Sunrise joined the troupe ("Ms. Echo"). To be safe, cw: references to implied abuse because Echo thought that was going on with Sunrise. This one is related to one of her missing memories and her altered memory, so it's possible that this can lead to Sunrise realising something is amiss with her memories.
