See this? This is Soul Perception. Kid has it. There's a description on the wiki, here.

Please please please fill out this permissions post re: Soul Perception and you! If there are any questions, ask me and I'll tl;dr at you.

<b>1. Do they have a soul?</b> <b>2. A short, general description of their overall personality; basically, what Kid would be able to tell from looking at their soul.</b> <b>3. If you have some defining physical traits, those may appear as well. Go ahead and mention a general feel for what the soul is like as well, and mention anything else you think would be apparent.</b> By general feel I mean sort of what color, scent, feeling, sound, taste, etc. reminds you of the character. <b>4. Does your character's soul qualify as a Kishin egg? This is only if your character eats souls.</b>

Note: For examples of souls, see Stein's soul, Justin's soul, Maka's soul. Note that souls look more like this most of the time, and the examples in the previous sentence are souls that are powered-up in preparation for battle/a threat display.

Even if your character is considered a witch by their canon's standards, Soul Eater witches are fairly unusual. If your character is a witch and because of their magical abilities has a personality that is strongly chaotic or enjoys causing/is driven to cause destruction and chaos, please mention that.

IC:

Character name: Death the Kid (will go by "Seven" because of previous game development)
Fandom: Soul Eater (manga)
Timeline: Chapter 81, and then a few months in Edensphere, but coming from before endgame
Age: Unknown, looks early/mid-teens
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths:
Despite his oftentimes comic-relief position in the story, Kid is quite literally, a god, and as such, he has some rather, shall we say godmod abilities. He also is a meister, and when working with his weapons, his power is nothing short of impressive. As one of his teammates says “I’d forgotten because he’s usually so low-key, but he’s a shinigami after all… that was a whole different order of magnitude.”

Shinigami abilities
Phisycal body – Unaffected by poisons, toxins, illnesses, and UV radiation. Incredible athletic abilities, including higher speed (moving quickly enough that it doesn't even look like he's moving), stamina, strength, pain resistance, and flexibility than a human. Limited teleportation. Near-instantaneous healing (in his first appearance in canon, he was impaled multiple times and also basically smashed flat, and then up and fighting in seconds with no obvious afteraffects of the injuries).
Hammerspace – “soul storage”. Kid can store souls in his body for later use. He also keeps his skateboard and a really cool cape+mask in there.
Lines of Sanzu – The white lines on Kid’s hair are apparently something other than a source of perpetual woe for his OCPD. Not much is known about these at this time, other than the fact that when his power level increases and they connect, they give him access to higher-level shinigami abilities, such as energy shields in the shape of a skull, and energy tentacles which can reattach limbs. They appear to be a sign of his maturation as a shinigami. A hint. Don’t mention them. They’re asymmetric.

Shishin Taijutsu – Death God Martial Arts. An unusual fighting style focused on hand-to-hand combat and oddly contorted poses. It does not require weapons to be used effectively. He very rarely fights seriously, since it draws attention to the fact that he is impossibly beyond human in his abilities.
Stance of Crime – The offensive form, focused on chops, kicks, and hammer blows.
Stance of Punishment – A more defensive form, in which he has used his weapons for attacks.

Beelzebub
Kid’s skateboard. It’s usually stored in hammerspace. He’s talented with it, and uses it in battle on occasion, or just to play around. Capable of flight, and of traveling at least 500 km/hr (311 mph).

How would they use their abilities?: Day-to-day things, possibly getting missions where he can advantageously use his powers.

Appearance: 15ish, going to be tall but right now sort of stuck in this lanky middle-of-a-growth-spurt average height, pale skin, black hair with three white stripes on the left half, yellow/orange eyes, usually wears a suit.

Background/Personality:
Soul Eater is about a school (Shinigami Buki Shokunin Senmon Gakkō - shortened to Shibusen and translated as "Shinigami Weapon Meister Vocational School") that trains students to track down and kill witches and soul eating murderers. Children are paired up, usually in a one-to-one ratio of Weapons (humans with the ability to transform into weapons of some kind, from mirrors to guns to chainsaws to pretty much anything else you can think up) and Meisters (the half of the team that does the majority of the fighting, and usually has the ability to sense souls). Death the Kid and his weapons, the demon guns Liz and Patti Thompson are part of the main cast of characters, which also includes plucky bookworm heroine Maka Albarn and her scythe Soul Eater, and Black*Star the overly loud ninja and his multiform weapon Tsubaki Nakatsukasa.


Standing on a steeple, moonlight glinting off the twin demon pistols in his hands, with the caption "Death the Kid. Lord Death's Son. The Perfect Boy", Kid is introduced in a suitably dramatic way. Then you suddenly realize that oh, this is a major comic relief character in an already comedic series. Regardless of his title, it's hard to take someone seriously when he stops chasing down a thief (who just stole an entire santa claus bag full of souls from Kid's house) to correct the poses of his weapons. The thief escapes, and Kid apologizes to his Father for his failure to complete this mission. Then he and Liz and Patti are sent off to go kill a witch who has been resurrecting mummies in Egypt. This goes about as well as expected, since it turns out that Liz is terrified of mummies and ghosts, Patti has the attention span of a goldfish, and Kid quits mid-mission to fly on his magical skateboard back home to the US so he can make sure that the painting in the entryway of his house is not crooked. He does manage to get back to Egypt in time to stop his weapons from being stripped naked by a perverted mummy, but when it comes time to fight, it turns out that the mummy (when it's hiding in its sarcophagus) is perfectly symmetrical and Kid can't fight it. It then impales him, throws him across the room, and crushes him flat. Multiple times. Then it climbs out of the sarcophagus to finish him off and reveals that it's actually not symmetrical at all. Kid blows it (and the pyramid) to splinters in a fit of anger.

Then the story shifts focus to Maka, Soul, Black*Star, and Tsubaki for long enough for them to all be assigned an extra-credit lesson, which Kid secretly watches from his Father's office. Angered at what looks like a life-or-death homework assignment (involving a zombie and a sadistic mad scientist with a dissection fetish), Kid goes off to actually enroll in Shibusen, despite being a god and not really needing to learn how to fight.

When (a few chapters later) he does start taking classes, he's accosted by Black*Star and Soul before he can even set foot inside the school. Black*Star is annoyed that someone is being talked about in school more than he is, and Soul is there to help his friend fight, despite never having fought as Black*Star's weapon before. They manage to get into a fight with Kid, which Kid wins easily (but ultimately loses, because his hair gets cut in the fight and therefore becomes asymmetrical and he is utterly devastated by this and goes home to hide in his room until his hair grows back out). In this chapter, Kid is described as a refined yet nervous person, who benefits greatly from his association with the overly-cheerful Patti and the level-headed Liz.

Kid and Black*Star meet up again, this time going on a quest for the Legendary Sword Excalibur. While Black*Star wants to find Excalibur in order to become the world's greatest meister, Kid is more interested in the perfect symmetry of Excalibur's weapon form. They wind up finding Excalibur, and then discovering that the reason the Holy Sword has had so few meisters throughout history is not because he's difficult to match soul wavelengths with, but because he's unspeakably annoying. They agree never to speak of this adventure again, and are solidly confirmed as rivals united in friendship by a mutually shared traumatic experience.

Then comes a massively important written exam, which Kid doesn't study for because he's a Shinigami and all this information about souls is instinctive. While this is probably true, he manages to fail the exam with a big fat zero, since he couldn't even get through writing out his name before utterly freaking out and collapsing from his failure to create perfect symmetry in his writing.

After all that comic relief, it's hard to remember that Kid is actually one of the most powerful characters in this entire series, and also the son of a god. So the readers are helpfully reminded of this fact with a few chapters where Kid fights a lot. Kid, Liz, and Patti go on a hunt for a ghost ship that's been destroying villages. They find this ship and its ghostly master (the Flying Dutchman) and proceed to get into what looks like a quick battle (despite the fact that they get separated, Liz's spectrophobia kicks in again, and we find out that if Kid doesn't have both his guns, he can't use either of them), until a challenger appears in the form of an androgynous pink-haired child and a monstrous demon sword. Crona and Ragnarok have already appeared in the series, getting into a fight with Maka and Soul, and seriously injuring Soul, and now it's Kid's turn to fight Crona. This fight ends in a tie, as Kid is chasing after Crona and Ragnarok and then is... distracted by symmetry again.

Kid is always distracted by symmetry.

Right! Well, time for a party, and time for Kid to try and give a speech only to be interrupted by Black*Star and get into a fight and generally be comic relief aga-- wait, this is a serious plot-altering chapter that leads into a massive fight scene? Oh. Okay.

The witch Medusa (who had infiltrated Shibusen as the school nurse) decides to take advantage of the Founding Day party and trap everyone in one room with the help of the magical immortal werewolf Free. Kid, Maka, Black*Star, the crazy sadist doctor Dr. Franken Stein, and all of their weapons manage to escape before the room is sealed off. Time to go and track down Medusa and her cronies and keep them from awakening the demon god of madness that Lord Death had sealed underneath the school. Because the best way to keep track of a demon god of madness is to tie him up in a bag made of his own skin and hide him under a school full of children.

Kid gets distracted by symmetry again, but manages to survive both that and the bombs set up by the frog witch Eruka and get to the chamber where Asura is locked up. Asura's soul wavelength is so powerful that you start hallucinating the second you enter this underground chamber, so that makes for a very interesting fight scene.

Kid and the rest of the Shonen Hero Brigade lose this fight and Asura is released to flood the world with madness and terrors.

No really, that's what happens.

While Kid and Black*Star were getting beaten to all hell by a frog, an idiot werewolf, and a crazy guy, Maka was using her magical powers of main characterness to de-crazy Crona. So now there's a gender-unspecified meister and a sword that wants to kill and eat innocent people who Maka has befriended and Lord Death decides to allow as students at Shibusen. Crona happens to be Medusa's child. Medusa is pretty much the main bad guy of the series. Medusa also pretty much controls everything Crona does. This could not backfire in any possibly conceivable way.

Right, so as Shibusen prepares for a god-hunt, Kid and his friends take some time off to relax, play basketball, and have a party.

Then Kid, Liz, and Patti are pulled away from the party to go hunt down a train that runs through the middle of the Sahara desert and is powered by some sort of demon clockwork. This goes surprisingly well, and Kid does not find anything symmetrical to be distracted by, for once. However, Kid then opens up the demon tool itself, and discovers his Father's name written right alongside of the name of the supposedly evil magician who made these demon tools. This starts off a bit of worry for Kid, as he no longer can entirely accept his Father (and by extension, all of Shibusen) as faultless.

Kid then goes on a hunt through Shibusen's library for information related to the wizard Eibon, but discovers that the only book related to him was checked out on the date of Shibusen's Founding Celebration by someone with the inital "M" and hasn't been seen since. Medusa was someone with access to that library with the initial "M" who hasn't been seen since.

Time to remind the readers that this series involves students at a school studying to get better at what they do! Kid, Black*Star, Maka, and their weapons start working on a technique known as "Team Soul Resonance", which is complicated, but effectively combines and increases their fighting abilities.

Then it's time for another mission! This one is a massive, complicated, highly dangerous assault against the forces of the witch Arachne in an attempt to recover the demon tool BREW from a magically-protected island. Kid and the others put their practice with team soul resonance to good use in this mission, fighting (but losing) against an immortal vampire butler named Mosquito. Thanks to the magical properties of the island, they catch a glimpse of what happened 800 years ago on the island (Lord Death makes an appearance, looking far more intimidating then in his modern form, and Eibon shows himself as well, possibly working in tandem with the witches). Kid's worry and distrust increases, but he keeps silent.

Kid and Black*Star get into another spar/fight/rivals-have-to-beat-each-other-up, which Kid again wins, easily. He notes that for some reason, Black*Star has become weaker. This worries him, since (as is later revealed) he views Black*Star as an actual rival.

Kid fails another (and as it turns out, highly dangerous mission) by running off before anything happens, since he can't remember if he folded all the ends of the toilet paper in his house into triangles.

Then the readers (and the rest of Kid's friends) are reminded that while Kid is a classmate and a teammate and a friend to the other children, he also has more responsibility, authority, and official duties then they do. He is shown to serve as backup in the event that an enemy or situation is too much for anyone else to handle, and also reveals that he has access to information that the others don't, as he is aware that their classmate Kim is a witch before any of the other students are. He is also aware of the fact that Shibusen has captured Medusa and is relying on her for information.

Kid, Maka, Black*Star, and their weapons, along with their classmates Ox (and his weapon Harvar) and Kilik (and his weapons Fire and Thunder) go with Medusa to spearhead a mission against the forces of the witch Arachne. In order to accomplish this, they have to split up, and Kid, Liz, and Patti go off on their mission. While attempting to complete their mission, they run up against Mosquito again, and he isn't in the mood to spare their lives. Kid is thoroughly overwhelmed by the vampire's abilities, until he reveals that he has the demon tool BREW (which Arachne thought had been damaged beyond repair, and Medusa had stolen and given to Shibusen as a barganing chip). The BREW awakens Kid's abilities, one of the Sanzu Lines connects, and he turns the tables on Mosquito. He doesn't wind up killing the man (after all, the guy's immortal), but when Mosquito runs off, Kid follows.

Kid catches up to Mosquito in time to see him confront a man who the vampire addresses as Eibon. Needless to say, this chases any ideas Kid might have of completing his mission or not getting murdered straight out of his head. Eibon then gets into a fight with Mosquito, and before killing the vampire reveals that his name is actually Noah, and that he is an avid collector of the strange and unusual.

Strange and unusual includes Kid. Before the young god has time to react, Noah is all up in his personal space looking like a pedo and locking up Kid inside his magical book of horrors. Liz and Patti manage to escape.

Kid then proceeds to rearrange Noah's entire book. This does not go over well with the mage, and instead of letting Kid stay in the Book of Eibon, he magically chains Kid up and lets his creepy lackey Gopher use Kid as a punching bag. This goes on for quite a while (months in-canon) before Gopher discovers that while Kid is immune to being beaten on for hours, he's not immune to (you guess it), his symmetry being destroyed. Gopher proceeds to rip one arm off of Kid's shirt, color on half of his face with a marker, and other such nefarious and horrible tortures.

Noah finally realizes that this is happening, and rolls his eyes in annoyance at Gopher (oh you obsessive teenage gofer, what is he going to do with you) and then throws Kid back in the book. This time, however, he throws Kid into a layer that is underneath anything that the shinigami had experienced before, a chapter where nothing exists except an imprisoned god.

Kid recognizes this individual as someone with power like his Father's, and instead of being wary, he starts trying to assert his authority and demand an explanation. The friendly goo-monster god of power laughs at him, calls him a tiny little crumb, and drips pure insanity into Kid's face until he goes utterly crazy. That symmetry obsession? Not so funny when your new goal is to destroy everything to create the "ultimate symmetry of nothingness".

Black*Star arrives after a couple days/hours/weeks/who knows, and proceeds to attempt to smack some sense into Kid's fool head. Another fight happens, and Kid eventually calms down and recognizes that while his purpose (his innate purpose as a "fragment of law" who carries the "insanity of order") might be to maintain order in the world, it should not be at the expense of the freedom, rights, or lives of others.

Then the goo-god reveals that not only did he just drive Kid insane and cause a homoerotic underwater fist fight of boyish heroicness, he can actually just get them all out of the book (which implies that he wasn't actually trapped but was just chilling there for kicks). This he does.

So now everyone (Kid, Liz, Patti, Black*Star, Tsubaki, Maka, Soul, Kilik, Fire, and Thunder) are dumped unceremoniously into the middle of a battle between Noah and the adults of Shibusen. Kid proceeds to then connect two of his Sanzu Lines and destroy Noah so thoroughly that not even the mage's soul is left.

Why should that character be in this game: N/A

Why do you want to continue their history here: I was unsure of where to cover previous game history/personality changes, so I'm going to cover those here.

Edensphere was a memoryloss game, which was revealed in endgame as an incredibly fourth-wall breaking game (basically, the entire game took place in the mind of a dying fangirl). Characters woke up with no memories except for a vague dream, picked a name for themselves, and carried on their lives in the tree-in-a-glass-bowl of Edensphere. Characters occasionally received memories back, but for the most part had to develop without knowing anything about themselves or their past. Like most games, there were random events that fueled action, and there was also a section of the Sphere that transformed every so often into settings from different canons.

Death the Kid arrived in Edensphere along with Cho Hakkai (from Saiyuki, who took the name "Jeep"), and because they hatched at the same time, they were declared "brothers" based on the traditions of the Sphere. Kid took the name "Seven", because of his birth dream, which focused on his imperfections and his immaturity (Seven being a less "perfect" number than eight, which is a number Kid loves because of its symmetry).

Jeep became a something of a replacement father-figure for Seven, which resulted in some personality alterations. Seven is less emotionally open than Kid, having started to copy Jeep's habit of fake, polite smiles and deflecting conversation. He's going from someone who wears his heart on his sleeve to someone who doesn't open up emotionally to anyone, but it's a slow transition. Another change to his personality involves his obsession with order and symmetry. Because he lacks the memories that give him the reasons for this obsession he does not view it as something normal for him, and he is now aware that it is unusual and probably unhealthily, and tries to hide it as much as possible.

"Canonpoint"-wise, Seven will be coming from before the ending of the game, and the fourth-wall breaking reveal. Vague hints have been dropped regarding the whole "fictional character" thing, but none that Seven has picked up on.

I would like to play Seven as an import from Edensphere rather than Kid straight from canon because of the opportunities for development and CR because of his amnesia and previous game development and CR.

Here is a link to a CR chart.

For applicants considering an alternate version of a character already in game, please use this as your chance to explain the key differences between your character and the one already in play: N/A

Have you read up on how the game works?: The Guide plugin is the FlamingFerret. Missions, stealing, or mooching off friends are ways a character can earn money.

1st person sample: --than the journals... [the video cuts in on a boy talking to himself, brow furrowed and gold eyes focused on the screen. He clears his throat and starts in on an introduction of sorts, one already rehearsed, despite the unintentional beginning.]

It has been brought to my attention that this ship brings people from many different realities. I have recently come from a similar situation. If there is anyone here from Edensphere, especially anyone who recognizes me by sight, I would like to speak with you.

[Recognition by sight won't be hard for anyone who's seen him before, with those gold eyes and the three white stripes in his black hair.]

If there is anyone who... recognizes me for other reasons, whether because I have been here before, or because we are from the same world, I would speak with you as well. [He won't recognize them, unless the single person from his own world who was also in Edensphere is here.]

3rd person sample: The first time Seven signs up for a job, it ends badly. Housekeeping had been a job for Jeep, not Seven, but it had been the best option during a lack of Adventurer's jobs. It turned out that Seven should not ever be in any kind of housekeeping position at all, after his first day on the job involved a mental breakdown, and vomiting blood all over the floor and furniture.

It took three hours to manage to walk back to his temporary room, mostly because he gets stuck in a pattern of left-right-left turns and the ship is unfamiliar.

The communicators are no comfort, despite the ease of communication, because he is aware of the differences between him and everyone he sees. His failure to complete even a simple job just highlights that.

So he walks right-left-right turns through the ship and tries to pretend like he didn't just get fired from his first job, like he isn't covered in his own blood, like he isn't an absolute failure who can't even clean a room properly. It almost works.

Questions?:
Did you put your characters name and fandom in the subject:

[AUs. All the AUs.

There sure might be nsfw stuff in some of these threads.]

I will be staying here in Edensphere, or traveling, as I cannot re

I wish you all well, wherever you go.
