Canon: Once upon a time, there was a creature known as "Black Beast" whose hobbies included destroying humanity and just cause chaos in general. Although the beast was ridiculously powerful, a group of six heroes banded together in order to defeat it- and eventually managed to do it. Unfortunately? The Black Beast released huge amounts of Seithr, a poisonous fog, into the world-- forcing humanity to live in high places in order to escape it. After the beast's defeat, an organization called NOL was created to keep order and regulate the use of Ars Magus, special weapons that were once used to defeat the Black Beast. Directly opposing their use are the scientists of Sector Seven, a small confederation of like-minded people who much prefer the use of pure science and technology rather than a combination between it and magic.
Daughter of two of the six heroes, Kokonoe is a human/beastman half-breed whose cat-like appearance matches her catty behavior. One of the most brilliant scientists of Sector Seven, she has the knowledge and experience to pull off some seriously impressive feats such as implanting someone's soul onto a different, compatible body. While she appears to have little regard for emotions, Kokonoe can be prone to emotional outbursts when enraged. Cynical and cranky, she's in a somewhat perpetual bad mood that seems to disappear only whenever she gets to brag about her inventions. While not the type to openly show affection, Kokonoe can be a rather caring person in her own right and is more than a little protective of those she actually loves. Very goal oriented, once she sets her mind on something she's not going to give up until she reaches it.
Sample Entry:
Tch. You've got some nerve- kidnapping me and asking me to work for you right after that. I can't say this is something I ever saw coming. Did you really think just standing there and asking me would convince me? Or are you going to threaten me until I accept this job? Honestly, you're better off changing your mind already. I'm going to keep this short and say it clearly: I hate wasting my time. No matter what your problem is, I just don't give a crap. The answer would have been the same under normal circumstances as well- kidnapping me only served to piss me off. You can't really expect me to leave my position without giving me something interesting enough to work on.
Before you even start trying arguing the last point let me be more blunt: this "project" is total bullshit. No self-respecting scientist would work on something like this, let alone one as good as me. I may have done some pointless things for the sake of easing boredom before, but this isn't something I want my name attached to, Madam. The idea of using such clean energy isn't bad, but there's no way in hell I'm going to design weapons that run on soup. Do you really want to waste so much food for the sake of war? Hmpf, then again, I guess this is disgusting enough that using it in any other way might be impossible. Though I could always feed it to my subordinates as punishment.
Even putting the soup aside, or the fact I have far more important things to do, there's no way I'm going to work in a place where sugar is banned. If you aren't aware, sugar's an important source of energy for human beings. Outright forbidding the consumption of it is nothing short of torture. If you think I'd ever allow myself to live without it, you've got it all wrong, princess. Considering all the corn you planted around, I'm pretty sure you bet everything on the wrong plant. It's a pity, really. For your information, those zombies running around may very well just be on a sugar withdrawal. Really, if dealing with them is what you need weapons for, you should first accept it's your own damn fault for creating the problem in the first place.
Ah, not that I would help you even if you were to accept it. Didn't I say it earlier? I don't give a crap about your problems. Of course I could fix it easily, but I have no intention of helping out some arrogant fool who thought kidnapping me was a good idea. Now, unlike you, I've got serious projects that require my attention, and this little detour has already made me waste more time than I could afford to. And really, you don't want to get me any more pissed than I already am. Scientists sure can be quite frightening.
Not convincing enough? Heh. How about I run some tests on you then? I could always start with your tongue. Isn't that how the saying goes? "Cat got your tongue".
