Character Name: Momo Shiratori

Character Info

A member of a race of humanoids with feline ears and tails who ascended to the status of magical deities, or "Mahoushin," through their mastery of magic, Momo Shiratori more than anything else seeks to entertain herself. A being of vast, deity-level magic power, Momo and her people often find life too easy in their astral home, and without challenges and struggles in her life, Momo has become unbearably bored. To that end, she has devoted herself to playing games. However, unfortunately for the mortal realms, her idea of "games" means taking over, exploiting and bribing ruin to whatever she can within the bounds of the limits she places upon herself.

Being so far removed from the harsh realities others are forced to live in, Momo's mindset is fundamentally warped. She sees those from the mortal planes, as well as lesser deities and astral beings as a human would see a colony of ants, and just like an immature human child enjoys "taking a magnifying glass" to those beings. However, as a person who is after enjoyment, it would be no fun for Momo if she simply went in and used the full extent of her quasi-divine power. Thus, instead, she places limits on herself, choosing weaker forms, limiting what resources she can work with...anything she can do to make the "game" more exciting, more challenging...more unlike the static life from which she came.

Due to being quite intelligent, Momo favors "games" that test her intellect more than anything else, and as a result has spend much of her time conquering worlds outside the main RP setting, putting new restrictions and rules on herself with each world she sets out to take over. In the present, she has a vast empire off world....but with rebellions being out down with ease, she has now decided she needs a change of pace. To that end, she's decided to play a new game, shattering one of the many artifacts she has collected from her conquests into thousands of pieces and scattering them across a new world she has yet to walk: the main world of the RP. The task is nigh impossible, but one that she has set herself towards, and if she can also play with a few "mortals" along the way, all the more better.

With such a difficult game to play, Momo's first moments in the realms saw her establishing a base for herself. Using a limited amount of magitech from her off world empire, Momo established her own psudo-city state, a massive man-made island off Eokia's coast that acts as her command center and home while operating in the realms. She also started exploring the Eokian mainland, using the aggressive resource harvesting operations she had set up along with her home base to start manipulating Eokia from within, largely for her own entertainment, but also to try and locate any artifact shards that may be caught up in Eokian markets. Due to the mass, industrial scale at which her Magitech can harvest resources from Eokia, she was able to quickly dominate several industries across the land due to being able to supply more product, and faster, than competition who lacked access to mechanized production. However, her industrial push from the coastline off her base into the Eokian heartland was not exactly welcome, and she quickly found she had to move carefully lest she draw the attention and ire of the Guardians, Deities and other Eokians who would be against her industrial expansion into their lands.

Thus, Momo now works largely in the shadows, running a business empire without her name openly attached to it and being behind a many shady deal in Eokia. She revels, and is a major player in the lucrative slave trade, and while she has yet to make bold moves into the heart of Eokia she continues to carve out small spheres of influence in the wilds and edges of the continent, harvesting more raw magical energy and resources from the land to expand her growing legion of magitech machines and continue to play "games" with this entertaining new world.

Character/Position Details:

This is an OC I've had a while, but one I'm "adapting" for this site, and one who I am tailoring for their position. That being said, I feel they would be fitting for this position because they would make a very unique villainous entity in Eokia, and one that could prove to be a springboard for many plots down the road, if they are allowed to take the role. With Eokia being as peaceful a land as it is, it needs somebody to give the Guardians some action, and Momo acts as both something that could be at home in Eokia, yet also something that stands in stark opposition to everything it is. As a villain, she doesn't have a grand scheme or larger goal; instead, her goal may change at a moments notice, becoming whatever she fancies in that moment. She has her *overall* game of finding the artifact shards, but this is by no means her only reason for being in Eokia and in the realms in general, and her rather flighty, fickle nature could make her a villain who's constantly planning some new twisted scheme for members RPing in Eokia to take part in or try and stop.

As for why the character herself works as a business lord? Well, she is all about challenges of intellect, and enjoys putting her logic, reasoning and manipulative skills to the test. As a result, she would be the type to certainly be involved in shadowy business dealings as well as selling the overflow/leftovers of her industrial magitech operations in the Eokian market. She loves playing the games of economics and politics, and would be looking to establish herself as a legitimate fixture in Eokia regardless of whether or not she would qualify as a "business lord."

Plots/Plans With Position:

Of course! Momo will most likely immediately start trying to carve out a bigger piece of the Eokian pie for herself, doing both more subtle dealings and more overt acts of aggression, if such things would be allowed. She'd get right to trying to carve herself more little pieces of Eokia and members with characters based there or who happen to be strolling in could try to stop her schemes or join in on them, hoping to ilk some profit of their own as her industrial expansion slowly creeps closer to the heart of Eokia. As far as immediate plots, I'd really like to get some threats going where more benevolent/good-leaning Eokians or just characters in general try and put a stop to an industrial operation of hers, making her "introduction" to the site one with a "bang." Her early plots will likely focus a lot on the resource exploitation and environmental degradation themes of her character, as well as the more shadowy business dealing side of her. However, as she becomes established on the site, my end goal would be to eventually have her clash with others outside Eokia; particularly Sanctuary, though such a fight would likely get her in way over her head, which is totally the intent I have for those long term plans.

Either way, due to how her personality is set up, she can always have some kind of scheme on the burner whether it be one of her typical resource exploitation/industrialization-related schemes or something much grander in scale if need be. Heck, if somebody wants a personal villain she would definitely be the type for more one on one/personal-scale plots if a character interested her enough, and may even take the time to specifically try and break an individual character simply to see how they react. Overall, if you need a villain, her motives as a character make her flexible enough to fit her into any number of antagonist roles whether big or small scale, and I plan to start seeing what members want in terms of an antagonist for their Eokian characters as soon as she would get the role.

Other: I've PMed you both (Blair and Loner) an RP sample for this character. Its meant to show an average post by me. I felt that my RP sample should respect what an average post by me (aka the quality you are likely to get most often) would look like; I hope I did the right thing by doing that!
