Entanglement has switched over to a dressing room format for now, so applications aren't needed for the time being.

What's it like? Magic? Technology? What is their home culture like?) Method of Arrival on Station: (see the FAQ for a list of options) Physical Appearance: (You may link to a picture if you like. If they'll be gaining new clothes upon arrival, describe them here) Character History: (Their life up to arrival on Senburu-Trati'salan. You don't need to tell us every detail but enough that we get an idea of what shaped them into who they are today.) Personality: (at least two paragraphs) Abilities and Skills: (Both human and superhuman. Optional section.) Sample: (At least three good sized paragraphs. Please set this within the game's multiverse. You may use NPCs or characters already in the game as foils for your character in this sample if you wish. Format is prose, either third or first person. You may also use a musebox post or one in <lj site="livejournal.com" user="testrunbox"> as your sample. This post may be slightly shorter than a sample written here, as long as your total length of writing (initial post+your tags) fits the length guidelines.)

Whichever application you're posting, please put the character's name, if they're an OC, and their fandom (if any) in the subject line.

Note again that you are allowed to use musebox posts and posts on testrun_box for your sample. In that case, your total amount of tags written will be added up, so the initial post can be shorter than normal for a sample. You're still required to use a prose format and set the sample in the game universe though.

Character:

Character's Name: Nishiki [Roppenmatsu 2]
Character's Fandom: Excel Saga manga
Character's Home Universe: The world of Excel Saga is pretty much exactly the same as our, save for the fact that in ancient times a super-advanced civilization known as Solaria existed before wiping itself out.
Canon Point you're taking him/her/it from: Volume 14 just before losing her core to Il Pallazo.
Method of Arrival on Station: Her creator, Goujo Shiouji is always on the look out for new, and dangerous, ways to test his creations and has loaned the station Nishiki for the foreseeable future.
Physical Appearance: see her icons.

Personality: Being an android, Nishiki's personality was largely defined by her creator, Gojyo Shioji. As Shioji is a fan of young girls, Nishiki's personality seems to be modeled after girl around age 11 or 12. Going even further to her connection to Shioji, Nishiki is completely loyal to her master and acts on his command with no regard to her own safety. Though, on occasion she is known to stray from her master's on occasion that her programing has been compromised, such as when she was infected by a virus and ran around her apartment complex naked for several hours. Another such occasion occurred upon booting up with no OS installed, Nishiki took on the information stored in several dating games owned by team mate Sumiyoshi, and her personality changed to match the stereotypical characters presented in those games.

When working properly, Nishiki is very affectionate towards Shioji, often hanging on him and purring. Nishiki also often asks for praise after completing a mission, showing a constant need for her deeds to be validated. To this end Shioji sometimes refers to the young robot as his “kitten”. It is notable that Nishiki's personality programing can be forcibly rewritten, a feat thus far only accomplished by Shioji's mother, Miwa Shioji.

Towards others Nishiki is often very kind, though childish. When first introduced to her teammates in the City Environmental Security, she soon assigns them nicknames, calling Watanabe “watapi”, Sumiyoshi “sumichan”, and Misaki “big sister”. Nishiki seemingly plays up her childish nature to get closer to those around her, for example she often clings to Misaki and asks if she will play with her. Nishiki also uses her child-like demeanor to get others to do things for her include moving her things into her new apartment and taking her out for a steak dinner, despite the fact that Nishiki does not need to eat. The rest of the team seems to tolerate Nishiki, despite her hyperactive nature, as they simply think of her as a annoying little girl they just happened to work with.

The exception to this is Iwata, who actively hates her and will go out of his way to make fun of or even hurt the young android. This hatred stems from the fact that Iwata had something of crush on the original, adult version of Ropponmatsu. Nishiki returns Iwata's hate in kind, she will casually call him names and in more extreme circumstances has picked fights with Iwata that often end in the destruction of a building or two.

It is also notable that Nishiki's personality is different from that of Ropponmatsu 1, even though they are the same being. Ropponmatsu 1 is a very stoic being, acting the role of a robot with no knowledge of human society, as seen when Iwata asks her to marry him to which the robot responds “what is marriage?”

In all, Nishiki personality encompasses that of a normal girl of the age she is modeled after. She is hyperactive, a bit obnoxious, and tends to poke her nose where is does not belong. Despite this, she gets along well with those around her, though she will often use her childish nature to manipulate her friends into doing things for her. On the other hand, if Nishiki sees a person as her enemy, she will go out of her way to make life a living hell for said person.

Abilities and Skills: Nishiki is an android, and as such does not need to eat or sleep. Though it seems she does need to be recharged once in awhile under dire circumstances. She is also stronger and more durable then a normal human being. Though she does have a history of being destroyed on various occasions.

Her body is also modular in nature, which allows the connection of a variety of specialty parts to be attached to her. Among those seen in the manga include wings, underwater gear, and snow rescue parts.

Finally, Nishiki's core can be swapped between her normal and adult states. This allows the more durable Roppenmatsu 1 [or Ishiki] to be used when the smaller Nishiki would not do the job.

Sample:
Though Nishiki had been a gift to the station from the Shioji Scientific Society, many aboard the station now wished they would take her back. The manic android had been running amok through the station for nearly a day now and in general making a pain of herself. A few hours into the rampage, it seemed as if no one was safe, as every female member of the crew had been deemed "big sister" while every male had been given an embarrassing nickname. More then anything, the general consensus on the matter lay heavily on why anyone in their right mind thought building a high-powered android with the mind of a twelve year old was a good idea.

Thought however, even one of consensus, was far from enough to stop the rampaging loli-droid from reeking further havoc and annoyance upon the people of the the junk station. Seemingly unstoppable, Nishiki eventually found herself entrenched in the engineering department, if for no other reason then it reminded her of the Professor's lab back home. The staff of engineers and other specialists soon found themselves bombarded by an endless series of inane questions including "Oh! What's that?!", "How does that work?" and "Oh Shiny!?".

Having no patience for such silly things, Nishiki soon found herself expelled from the room of shiny things and soon found herself in her sleep quarters. Having little else to disrupt for the time being, she lays down upon her bed and begins to upload the video of the days activities to her creator's network...

While overall we enjoyed your application, we would like to ask you for the following revisions to your app:

-The world of Excel Saga is quite different from our earth, with, for instance, ordinary bureaucrats moonlighting as sentai teams and an evil organization attempting to take over Fukuoka. Please go into more detail in that section.

There is no need to revise any other section of the app.

Within the city of Fukuoka, Japan a pair of groups, the city environmental security task force and ACROSS vie for control of the city on an almost daily basis.

While the is headed by Kabapu, a local government official and claimed member of the ancient civilization of Solaria, it is staffed by a group of four perfectly normal people who were dragged into the above conflict. Providing tech support for this group is the Shioji Scientific Society, which is responcible for Nishiki and the other strange gadgets the group has.

On the other side of the track stands ACROSS, a group who stated goal is conquest of the city, as conquering the whole world at once would be to hard. Led by the charismatic Il Pallazo, who Kabapu claims is also a former citizen of Solaria, and his underlings, three college age girls and their dog.

The conflict between these two groups is comical for most of the series, as both ineptly try to counter each others equally goofy plots. However, around the time Nishiki is being taken from, Excel, the most senior of the ACROSS girls, had decided to take the groups message of conquest public, which mostly involved rallies at sports events and on the street, which sparked Kabapu to pull out all the stops and give his team Sentai-styled super suits to fight back.

It's worth noting that despite the conflict between ACROSS and the City Security Environmental Force, the public never seems to know the truth of what is going on. This can be seen in the fact that the people at Excel's rallies tend to see her as an overly energetic idol singer or cosplayer.

You know what to do!
