As you may or may not know Monique Polak helped in the creation of a character named Ankou (like the king of the dead) and told me to "Look inside (my)self....the character lives within you!" I don`t know something like that. ANYWAY Kristen gave me permission to put this article on the blog so Monique can see it-so here you go Monique! All the characters you helped me create with only a few words o` wisdom :) PS the stuff in the brackets is the story/series.
Mimi (Mimi vs Vampire)
In a superstitious Japanese town with a population of barely 100 a rich family living in a decrepit mansion casts out their only daughter (Mimi) when they find out she’s a vampire, the town has a superstition that if a child is born with a disability, illness or vampire or warewolfism they must be expelled from the lives of others. Every three generations one child in Mimi’s family is born a vampire-eliminating the theory that vampirism is a spreadable poison. Vampirism is a germ and is not contagious but genetic like a cancer.
Twelve year old Mimi decides to embrace the rest of the modern world and sets out to destroy any other vampires that can carry on the gene. She is not, however, bitter in any way. Eventually she meets Suki- a similar outcast with a shape shifting problem and together they must destroy whatever was left of the vampire population from season 1...but can they do it?
Explaining my thinking:
What was funny about Mimi was I learned about the many faces of Megurine Luka and Angel Beats but couldn`t stop thinking about the "Mimi" I know!! Yup, you know who you are-and with the element of cuteness and toughness so concentrated in the character I almost had to scrap an entire second season! But then I found a flash of inspiration from the phrase "Shower on it." I thought of a dirty shower washing away one`s sins (don`t ask I had watched a TON of Chobits the other night) and who was that uh, one, it was Suki! Second season born :)
Ankou ( Shouhen Shiro...Translation: Crumbling Castle)
In a futuristic world the human race thrives in space as their festering planet (destroyed by a mistake in the bombing of Hiroshima-shi, Japan, in August of 1945) Ankou Yamazaki is selected at nineteen years old for her military background on WEC (World Evacuation Center) 34 (now a modern-day Japan on a ship) after the previous candidate dies of anxiety attack. But when Ankou discovers a sinister and terrible secret on the planet in shackles will she make it back to WEC 34...alive???!!
Explaining my thinking:
Ankou: French grave watcher and king of the dead; first (sometimes last) to die in a parish and must watch over the dead people and collect lost souls on his land. He wears a hat to hide his face, carries a scythe and rides a carriage towed by black horses (or goats) and is accompanied by ghostly figures on foot. Usually tall and male.
Along with that refreshing tid-bit of information I take much inspiration from the poem "Io Sono Sangue" by Fabrice DuLac
Alice Barouness (Assasin`s Notebook)
A supposedly emancipated girl named Ichigo Tommoe is arrested at her school by two armed guards. Realizing what they are after she kills them and sheds her façade as Ichigo, becoming a teenage assassin known as Alice Barouness.
With the fact that the government is aware of her original mission: to kill the president of Japan Riku Lima.
We then see a man surrounded by others whom are not specified in saying "Alice has awaken." This is the man who trained Alice since she was younger. (When she had a severe virus that gave her such a high fever that she remembers nothing except her 10th birthday when she was placed in the care of the mysterious man.
Realizing this time she cannot abandon her mission Alice goes in search of Lima, while being hunted and pursued by authorities.
In the end Lima is killed and Alice flees-the FBI pursues her when the head tells his officers that they found out Lima did have a corrupted plot and the Oversight had wind of it for over thirty years. Alice is given a spot in the FBI taking it she one day gets a letter from Oversight:
"Kill the FBI director." Alice flees.
Explaining my thinking:
Oh Megurine Luka how I love you! Okay go on Youtube and look up "Dancer in the dark" Megurine Luka, firstly you may not get the words but if you want you can watch a sub video (haha I understand Japanese!..kinda I`m working on it...) the chorus is english. Anyway I came up with her while giving Ankou a pre-set hairstyle :P Alice (just a nice name) and Barouness is derived from Bara-Suisho of Rozen Maiden Traumend. Fun fact: in the Manga she actually doesn`t exist but is used by a doll in the N-Field as a puppet and is NEVER a Rozen Maiden!! You have no idea what I just said do you....*facepalm* well maybe Jasper does..?
Anyways thank you Monique Polak! I`m 100% sure you made me a better writer :) oh and thanks for reading this CRAAAAZYYY long blog post -_-
