CHARACTER INFO
Character Name: Excellen Browning
Character Canon: Super Robot Wars Original Generation
History: OG1 | OG2 | Excellen
AU History: (This is required for all characters to integrate them into the setting. It can be reasonably simple, or it can be more complex. You may integrate other characters into your history with their permission.)
Canon Personality: Excellen has a bit of a old man trapped in a hot chick's body thing going on. Preferring to not take much seriously, most things tend to roll off her like water on a duck's back. After all, things are more fun that way. The world is already so messed up to begin with. It's hard to say if Excellen's playful nature is completely genuine, and at times she has a problem with easing up on people, but it's all in good fun, right? People are way too serious, and that's where big sister Excellen comes in. Excellen brings the party, and the party sure won't stop.
Touching back on the old man thing. Excellen is a bit of a pervert and a relentless flirt. She always has been good at reading people, and is far more observant than people would truly believe when first meeting her, but she never has had a problem with knowing just what to say to get the right buttons pressed. This goes along with when people are upset as well. She is smart, and do not let anyone else convince you otherwise. She also knows people as a whole, and generally, if she really wanted to, could probably get just about anything she ever wanted. But that's not a driving force for her. It's not to say that it wouldn't be easy for her. Quite the opposite, in fact. But Excellen is not that kind of person. She isn't out for her own personal gains, but, rather, unlike many people around Dagaria, she has a heart.
The people around her are her life. After losing her livelihood at a young age, she holds tightly to those around her and can be, at times, viewed as clingy. There is a reason why she is referred to as "big sister", after all. She always seems to have the best advice, and when one needs a shoulder (or a chest, come to Excell nee-sama's bosom!) to cry on, hers is probably the best in town.
Something of note. While she does not tend to be (even in battle she can be a bit silly and, quite honestly, just a touch sadistic in the jokes that she makes), when Excellen is serious, it is no laughing matter. This girl has some skeletons in the closet, some that she does not even know about yet, and when she lets that bit of darkness in, she is a force to be reckoned with. Hell hath no fury like an Excellen scorned. Woe be it upon anyone who threatens her Queen and her kin, because they likely will not be walking away from that with a very good story to tell.
AU Deviation: There are actually some pretty big base differences, and while they don't necessarily change what kind of person Excellen is, they do influence her fighting style as well as other sensibilities.
The most obvious change is that Excellen is not a mecha pilot in BNW. The technology simply doesn't exist, and as such, instead of having the adorable "Weiss-chan" to dote upon as she's fighting, she instead will be relying heavily upon her party of Pokemon. She's extremely close to all of them, and is something of a mama bear in that regard; they deserve the best, so that is exactly what they get.
Regarding the accident, while the details are somewhat the same (it's never really elaborated upon, only that there was a very fatal accident that she and Kyosuke were involved in that nearly killed her), the Einst will be completely cut out of the picture. There is an alternative, however, which is addressed in the addendum that has been sent along with this application, that will encompass all the subsequent information involving the accident and immediate aftermath.
As such, Excellen will have something of a kill switch. Her idiosyncrasies aren't so much that she's crazy but, rather, that she's really, really odd. Some of the strangeness in her personality are due to [SPOILERS] and are slightly amplified because of that.
Canon Abilities: Much of her fighting ability comes through piloting a mech, however, there are a few things that can be assumed due to the aftermath of the accident; these are addressed in the addendum that will be sent along with this application.
Enlightened Abilities: Flying/Normal Engineer. For the most part, she is a relatively normal human, outside of super-human speed and lightning fast reflexes.
(Additional information about future evolutions included in the addendum sent with this application.)
Starter Pokémon: A Gastly and a Magnemite.
Notes/Special Considerations: Other than those addressed in the addendum application, none.
SAMPLES
(NOTE: You may link a previous entry or thread, including testrun or musebox threads (but NOT Dear Mun), for one or both samples. However, we want to see the character in the setting of Brave New World and specifically in their AU for at least one sample.)
First-Person: (Also known as “commentspam.” This is from the character’s perspective and helps us determine how well you grasp your character’s voice. The minimum is six sentences. If we deem that there is not enough spoken or written dialogue, we will ask you for more. If you link an outside entry or thread, the minimum is 10 comments from your character in one thread/with one character.)
Third-Person: (This is written in prose from an independent narrator’s perspective. Here we want to see an insight into your character’s unspoken behavior -- actions, thoughts, their view of their world, etc. The minimum here is two paragraphs. If we do not get a good sense of your character’s behavior, we will ask for more. If you link an outside entry or thread, the minimum is 20 comments from your character in two threads/with two characters.)
If desired, you may answer some of the following questions. The questions must be answered in-character, as if they are being asked by a teacher, mentor, or superior. If your character is lying in their answer, please identify it as a lie, the purpose of these is to get an idea of how you will play your character in lieu of the other sample options. 4 questions answered can be used as a substitute for a first-person sample, and 6 questions answered can be used as a substitute for a third-person sample. Both samples may be replaced in this manner. If the character doesn't say enough in their answer, we may request a few more answers for an acceptable sample.
-What would you say the role of Pokémon is in your life?
-What do you feel your role in Union is?
-What do you seek for humanity’s future?
-To what lengths would you go to rescue your allies if they were lost in the wilderness?
-What would you say the most important occupation is within Union?
-What does the story of the Savior mean to you?
-What aspects and traits do you respect most in your individual fellow man?
-What do you look for in the Pokémon with whom you bond?
-What do you think your Pokémon respect most about you?
-The gods of old have returned. How would you be judged if you were chosen as a representative of humanity?
-A human has attacked a wild Pokémon who retaliates in defense. How do you respond and whom do you defend?
-You are alone and bereft of your Pokémon allies, upon what strengths do you rely on to see yourself safely home?
-What would you say is your greatest duty, and why?
-You plunge into the depths of the Old City. What is it that you seek from the past? Treasure, technology, wisdom?
-When encountering a rare and powerful Pokémon, what is most important? Researching it, bonding with it, or defeating it? Why?
-What do you do to ensure we never again awaken the wrath of the gods upon humanity?
-What strengths make you most qualified for your role within Union?
-In your eyes, what is absolutely unforgivable.
-No Enlightened chooses their abilities - and not all are Enlightened. What type abilities would you most desire to manifest and why?
-What area do you seek to explore? The peaceful forest, in search of new, previously overlooked discoveries; the uncharted caves, in search of the unknown; or the wildest of mountain terrain, in search of danger, adventure, and thrills?
