Name: not me sprinting in late with toast in my mouth like— anyway hello! i'm mii or mauyn, i answer to both!

Contact: yelling at me through discord is the most reliable! but i am also available at [plurk.com profile] ellipsesinaction over on plurk.

Plotting: I have left a lot of the specifics of Homura's au open just to be flexible but I am going to say I'm surprised by how many people are in the states lmknhgbfsgd. Anyway, she's a shy, reclusive, almost-hikikomori who's living on her own and has been Not attending school in person since a bullying incident went bad. This happened when she was 14/in middle school; she's been aged up to 18 here, so suffice to say she does not do a lot of socialization! We're pretending the terminally online nature of the world meant distance/remote learning took off a lot sooner than it did in reality. Which does mean I can put her geographically a lot of places, if we want? She's moved around a lot on account of her heart condition and going to different specialists/hospitals for treatment, so what are friends. She's going to be entering uni via the remote learning angle though, nods. Though as a chemistry major. . . hm.

She doesn't look particularly different from her avatar outside of presentation; real world Homura is mousier and more unassuming/plain looking than her canon counterpart, and her avatar is ... Less so! Matching her to her avatar will likely not be difficult because of how different the are, but more for the fact that she's not out and about often and like, her features are pretty common, gosh everyone has a doppelganger somewhere in the world right?

Listen, the concept is basically Moemura larping a cooler version of herself online because that's the only version of herself she's had some success in dealing with people with. Someone once upon a time gushed about how she saved a run and was so cool years ago and she went and made being 'Cool + Good At Game' a personal mission in life, except she is such an uncool person in reality playing herself online is ... Not unlike a performance of sorts, help. Larping your online MMOsona. Swan Lake may have made it onto my app, for reasons.

I like to think she's the kind of cryptid player that's never really joined a guild or static or competitive esports team or anything but is still decently known in the gaming sphere as a good soloist, who just shows up/gets matched into your instances sometimes and helps carry the run while they're there, says maybe 10 words total in case mechanics need explaining, commends the people who need commending then disappears back into the online ether again because she still doesn't know how to socialize properly and talking too much means more opportunity for her natural awkwardness to reveal itself. Feel free to recognize her online persona in a 'hey wait are you THAT player from that other game?' sort of way; if we want anything more than that then please feel free to hit me up and we can discuss! In the beta test she'll be one of your four Steam Gunners, ver. Dark. Please drag her into your parties and befriend her against (?) her will.

Anything else? this is where the memes go right, anyway

if this is huge on desktop I'm sorry but I'm on mobile therefore
