Your Name/what you go by: oh god this is the hardest part of the app I don't know
AIM/E-mail/contact info - some way of reaching you: when will this app get easy
Your character's name (last, first): Lambdadelta
Series your character's from: Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Background info on your character: Let me summarize Umineko no Naku Koro ni as eloquently as possible.
"Witches exist."
"No they don't."
"Watch as I kill your family with magic. Witches exist."
"No they don't."
"MAGIC FIGHT"
"Oh yeah you're right they exist-- NO BITCH"
It is a series for people who don't have enough things to hate in their life. While Lambdadelta is an important character to the plot of the story, she really isn't seen all that much, and she's one of those VAGUE MYSTERIOUS characters, but there is plenty of background to explain before I get to her part, so lucky me! This app won't be so short after all.
It is 1986. The Ushiromiya family has gathered for its yearly family conference. The Ushiromiyas are so rich you can probably smell the money wafting off of them. Kinzo, the old man and head of the family, made their family what it was today, rich enough to own an island even in this day and age (or rather, that day and age). The rumor was that Kinzo made a deal with the good witch Beatrice, who had given him ten tons of gold (think 1/100,000th of all the gold that had been mined since the dawn of man. Think a lot of money), and that whoever found Kinzo's gold, much like Lucky Charms, would inherit it all and become the successor to the Ushiromiya family. ... wait that's not like the cereal at all nevermind.
Anyway, Kinzo's not good to his kids, and his kids aren't good to him so basically, while Kinzo is on his death bed that year, the kids (now adults) are trying to trick each other and con each other out of inheritance money, and basically they're a bunch of assholes! They all have business ventures they want taken care of. They are counting on the death of their father and not only that, are competing against each other for mo' money. They aren't loving, but at least their children are! Aside from Maria, who's a creepy, creepy child who seems to have inherited Kinzo's love of black magic, and all the talent he never got for it.
Beatrice's epitaph, the one that contains the riddle to finding the gold and becoming the Ushiromiya successor, at first starts off like a riddle but becomes more and more grotesque as time goes on, talking about sacrifices. Everyone dismisses it as "lol dad is a crazy bastard" but in fact, it actually is talking about human sacrifices. You see, Kinzo has no magic power on his own, but he studied and studied to get himself there. His magic hinges on the power of miracles, and the smaller the chance of succeeding, the greater the magic will be once he's actually succeeded. So I guess "lol dad is a crazy bastard" isn't that far off after all. In any case, on that day of the family conference, Beatrice comes to take back the gold she gave Kinzo and the interest, meaning all the things Kinzo gave birth to, meaning all of his creation, including living people. So yeah, 'sacrifice' isn't far off at all either.
The only way to escape this fate is to solve the epitaph, find the gold, and Beatrice will forfeit all rights to it. Unfortunately, the circle of death doesn't allow for much time to actually solve it often, boo hoo. Six are always dead by the First Twilight, the first stage of the 'ritual' so to speak, and more to come. And Beatrice doesn't have any qualms about killing more than she has to, apparently. Kinzo's goal is to see her face again, and to open the gates to the Golden Land himself-- even if it means staking his life on the line, because that is the grand sacrifice his magic requires. Why is everything complicated.
The first time it happens, stakes fall, everyone dies. But they are revived! And Battler retains his memory of this to a certain degree. And he denies the existence of witches to Beatrice's face, even after seeing her magic power. Put on the crown, Battler, tonight you're the king of retards. In his denial, Battler begins a game of wits with Beatrice, his effort is to explain everything via human methods, while Beatrice insists on magic and repeatedly shows him this. The goal is, if Battler surrenders to her logic, the game is lost, and Beatrice has won.
so I guess the goal of this visual novel is to side with stupidity idk
BUT I HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED THE CHARACTER I'M APPING YET. What a winner am I. Battler and Beatrice's game is a game to two other people as well! Meet Lambdadelta (finally) and Bernkastel. Bernkastel now has the title of the most powerful witch in the universe-- Lambdadelta used to have it, but she beat her in a game, so whoops. Lambdadelta really holds a grudge for that, and from that rivalry an infatuation/obsession was born. A good thing to mention is that after a thousand years, you get bored easily. And you play games with the lives of humans. Beatrice and Battler's game becomes one that hold's Bern's interest, and perhaps the 'end to her boredom'.
Lambdadelta, with her obsession and her wit, plans to use this to her advantage. By involving Bernkastel in the game forever, she 'traps' her for all eternity to be with Lambdadelta! As you can see, this girl is a bit of a creeper and Bern is reallllly important to her. Though she's gambling on Beatrice's 'chess board', so to speak, she'll help out Battler by revealing Beatrice's weaknesses. Her logic for this is that if Bernkastel loses, it means she'll have to swipe her title back from Beatrice, which she could do easily, but there's no satisfaction in it. So she's really tsundere about helping and tells you she won't forgive you if you make Bern cry bawww.
Though she gave you that much, it doesn't mean Bern giving her any openings. Also, apparently Santa never visited Lambda as a child. Don't ask. Anyway, it's because of Beatrice's perfect game board that she's a witch in a first place, by letting Lambda borrow that power and trap Bern forever, she became Beatrice's 'guardian', and can take away her powers if she wanted to. And boooy is Beatrice scared of her guardian. Anyway, Lambda tells her to stop fucking around and get serious. And it's after this tea party in Purgatorio that I'm taking Lambda.
post app edit: Bumped her to after Episode 4's Tea Party just because.
Personality-wise, Lambdadelta is annoying as all get-out. She is the best. She knows she's the best. She enjoys being the best. This is not a good combination, though the best isn't exactly the right term considering Bernkastel-- but being the most powerful thing in existence is quite important to Lambdadelta! She happily flaunts her powers if it means getting you to submit. She holds grudges too, and if you make her mad, watch out. Witches in Umineko don't screw around. I hope you like being in an endless time loop of dying over and over again.
... though that isn't her power, as Lambdadelta is the Witch of Certainty :B Anyway, her ego is like a fine wine. It has taken a thousand years to turn into perfection and then Bernkastel won against her, and took her title of 'most powerful witch'-- definitely not something she warmed up to. ... Or was it? Lambdadelta loves Bernkastel so much that she also hates her. The whole purpose of the game is to trap Bernkastel with her forever. Her obsessive nature is not something to be doubted, though in reality, in front of Bernkastel, and in front of most people, she acts like an immature child with her ego the size of Rokkenjima. Her sense of humor and general nature is very juvenile, and most people who look at her will dismiss her as a little kid.
Until you make her MANGRY, then you are fucked.
At first glance, Lambda doesn't look like she can take it as well as she can dish it. She'll throw tantrums if you tease her, despite her endless teasing of you. This is only her first nature, and if you're lucky, it's the only one you'll see. Lambda always knows the best move. She can look onto a chessboard 'figurative or literal' and always will make the move that is most beneficial to her-- which makes her pissed at Beatrice, who she made a witch, who will deliberately not make the best move in favor of fucking with her opponents more. This means Beatrice has a weakness, which means Bernkastel has a chance of escaping Lambdadelta's bird cage, which does not make for a happy Lambdadelta. For screwing with Lambdadelta's chances of a perfect game, she threatens to send Beatrice even lower than she was before Lambda made her a witch-- something that terrifies Beatrice. And that is hard to do.
That doesn't mean Lambda is above screwing with others for amusement-- hell, it's likely something she'd do to alleviate her boredom. She simply won't do it if it gets in her way of a perfect game, unlike Beatrice. That's another point-- Lambda hateshateshates being bored, so be sure to be interesting around her! Or she will make you interesting. Her profile in the tips state she "embodies the concept that hard workers will be rewarded, and is very respected, even by human beings". Her power is immeasurable, and though she loves to tease, it's possible for a human being to earn her smile-- if they deserve it.
Sample post: ...Hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh! Any second now!
That's when I shatter this barrier like glass, and that's when you all praise me for setting you free after--what, three years? You're pathetic if you're complaining only after that long! Kyahahaha! Beatrice would have fun with all of you! I like this place a lot! It'd be a great chessboard for another game! I can pick out the rooks and the pawns right away!
The bishops, though, that's a little harder-- the knights, ooh, I know I spotted a ton of noble types when I was looking around earlier-- speaking of looking, why are you staring like that? You should be in awe that Lambdadelta, the most powerful witch in the universe, is gracing your eyes with her presence! I know, it's really too generous of me! But you're still not worthy to look on me, or even kiss my shoes, got it? You say you know witches who turn people into frogs? I'll turn you into a smear. And I bet my magic overrides this stupid island's, so guess what?
That means you'll be dead! Forever! And I'll take your miserable soul and I'll make it into furniture not even worthy of gracing my heel. I'll take your eyes and dunk them in my tea-- and as for that famous golden drop of blood Beato goes on and on about-- I'll wring you dry until I get it out of you!
That's if you disrespect me. So don't look away when I'm talking to you!
--This stupid magic barrier is taking too long to break! Confining spells are nothing to me! Smash! I'll cut right through them, I'll break them down and stomp them to bits! Nothing-- no magic ever is going to keep me from making sure Beato does her job and Bern stays in her cage!
Bern... you'll wait for me to handle this little nuisance, won't you? You'll wait and we'll have tea and wine and those spicy things you like and those sweet things I like and we'll talk for years and years while Beato plays her little game for me... and you will be mine forever and ever and maybe one of those days I'm sure you'll thank me for making the best decision for the rest of our eternities as witches. ♥
... And if not, I'll get that little golden drop of blood out of you to compensate! Hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh!
--Hey, you! Human, don't just walk away when I start talking like that! Speeches like that are meant to be heard! And I don't buy 'not wanting to interrupt' as an excuse! Of course you wouldn't interrupt! If you did, I'd-- wait, what do you mean the barrier is still there? Aaargh! Don't you dare start doubting my magic! I really will turn you into a frog-- and I'll make your legs my dinner tonight!
