QUESTION FOR A QUESTION MEME

We all like hearing about each other's characters! We all like talking about our own characters! With this groundbreaking new meme, now you can finally do both, for the very first time in DWRP history!

The Guidelines:

• Post a toplevel listing the characters you play! If you have any boundaries you want to set re: questions you might receive (e.g. "No NSFW questions for this character"), do that here too.
  
• Tag other people asking them questions about their characters. What kinds of questions? Up to you! Canon questions, headcanon questions, meta questions, some random thing you've wondered since that thread you had two months ago, it's all fair game.
  
• Need ideas? I was passed this excellent gallery of various questions memes, so feel free to crib from these or just use them as inspiration.
  
• Answer the questions you receive, and, once you've done that, hit the person back with a question of your own about their character(s) too!
  
• You can end it there, or continue to go back and forth asking questions until you're out.
  

Now get to askin'!

'repainted ABOverse ' i fucking choked

Has he hit a point he couldnt overcome? Or doubted his strength in the roleplay game environment?

What are your plans for Mona? Will she keep focusing on her divination, or maybe branch out into some totally different direction?

Nah she definitely is all about that, and I dont wanna stray too far away from Mihoyo's interpretations. Since I am waiting for some mihoyo plot reveal that I feel she will be core/estential too. Her constellations read off as if someone who realizes fate is something to face - and that theres this need for a 'calamity and revolution.' so i am curious if that ? will uphold anything? I do like that she is 'destiny is unchangeable.' but core writing in any story, is about how becoming beyond what you think you are destined for or fated to do. is really important and healthy, and i know mihoyo is about that as well. so i am anticipating some good character changes in the future with mona.

i would like that sort of change for her here as well, if plot will provide it.

Hmm, my memory is so bad, I'm already struggling to remember if any such situation occurred in Prismatica (apart from some ghost encounters that scared him shitless), but here in Avalon he got hit with a big whammy right away the month he arrived, during the first Celliwig trials! To collect crystals for the mirror they had to enter the Cave of the Brave of Soul and face a vision of their worst fears, so he saw his commander / best friend die, and subsequently himself turning the Shinsengumi into a soulless, miserable organisation (he can't replicate his commander's idealism and faith in others, so he simply led with an iron fist). That was very upsetting for him, and if it hadn't been for Riou all but forcing him to deal with it he'd have abandoned the mission.

I'll look forward to the new revelations relating to Mona!! Gintama actually had its final movie (in place of another anime season) released this year, but playing from an ongoing canon can be quite the rollercoaster. It's good that she knows what she's all about and fully devoted to her art, but anything related to fate and destiny has a lot of weight and many influencing factors to it, so who knows what'll happen that may shift her view (both in Genshin Impace and here on Avalon)!

What is her greatest wish, and has it stayed the same between Teyvat and Avalon?

[lunarchain]

OOF! THAT IS some hard core character development, does it still effect him now?

ALSO I HEARD FROM GOKUDERA that he looks up to hijikata a lot!! How does Hijikata feel about Gokudera?

GOSH IT CAN be! Genshin's only about a year old soon, so its a bit hard to root in already established things and know what direction to go. Unfortunately I have to just wait, while the focus is on expanding the map etc. I did here we are getting fontaine next - which means Mona may be important. I did ALSO HEAR, that Mona a while back was suppose to get chapter 2 character story next. With fontaine potentially being the next place that opens up & told Mona chapter 2 may come out. I am thinking.. .Some good stuff is gunna roll forward!! Which I am happy for!

I look forward if anyone can challenge her views here! I feel like Kipposhi/nobunaga kinda does. Gosh her wish... I feel it still remains the same, 'Finding the Truth of the Universe.' Which means she more or less wants to understand what principles make up the universe.

I don't know her want or reason for this, other then she is passionately dedicated to it rn, in a humble way.

He doesn't really think of it often anymore, but it left him rattled for a good while back then! This is just a headcanon, but I think he doesn't want to outlive his commander. In one of the episodes he says something to the effect of "I'll follow him wherever he goes, and so will the others. If tomorrow he decides that he doesn't want to be a policeman anymore and wants to become a thief instead, then we'll become thieves with him". He also calls him "the soul of the Shinsengumi". He just wants nothing to happen to him, really.

Aw!! Hijikata really likes Gokudera; he was one of the first people he met and shared cigarettes and food with him, haha. Once Hijikata found out what a badass fighter Gokudera is that made him respect him a lot, so that feeling is mutual! He worried about him when he got retroactively CRAU'd because that seems to have been one hell of an experience, so he's really happy to have seen him in good shape lately (during the ship-raising venture and as an opponent during the tournament melee). If he finds out that he and Mona are friends(?) that'll make him glad too!

Getting Fontaine would be exciting!! When I AU'd Hijikata into Diluc's dream a while back Inazuma wasn't available yet, so I had to improvise... at least I knew about the Raiden Shogun and the vision hunt and isolationism! I don't even play it, but I kind of follow along with my friends. All the characters are really endearing!

Kipposhi would do that, he's an intense one! I saw him complain about Mona's divination and her confronting him, haha. Bless Mona for her unwavering dedication! By the way, I'm unclear about her relationship with her teacher... she took her in as far as I know, and gave her her vision, but there was a conflict that sent Mona into hiding in Mondstadt?

"I'll follow him wherever he goes, and so will the others.

He just wants nothing to happen to him, really.

OH NOO my heart, hes really loyal!!! Does he feel lost without his commander around? Or is he content, ik you mentioned before he kinda is with the world paused.

THATS SO CUTE, im all for friendships/foundfamily etc. Two rough people supporting each other through thick and thin. Etc. Since im new to dw I dont have much crau to work with, and i really like that its cool to establish relationships in games and be able to carry that wherever you go through the years. It makes roleplaying it all more worth while.

GOD I AM SO excited and hopeful. Its funny cause you can really fit him in Inazuma now! Inazuma is filled with crazy amounts of lore I am really surprised, looking forward to each portion they will give us/unlock knowing everything is gunna be heavy with story.

sdfds it wactually wasnt her divination someone elses ? She just came in to correct & validate how 'legimate' it can be if used 'correctly.' Their interactions are really funny! Though she honestly struggles a lot with him.

Atm we are uncertain of the importance of the teacher, or what she does/is doing. We know she has to have lived for a while (long life). She talks about creating astrology - in her english. I havent asked my cn friends if they can translate that part, to see if they mean HYDROMANCY or Astrology. Because if she created astrology, then that means her teacher is centuries old. IF its hydromancy, then she could be younger.

We are certain of like... A few things? Without me fanoning and filling in.

1. Her teacher took her in.
2. Her teacher changed her name, with her. Then taught her Astrology, Alchemy, and Hydromancy.
3. We know from Lisa, that Mona and her teacher are from a 'Coven/Hexenzerkiel.'
4. We know that her teacher sent her to mondstat to pick something up from her old friend ( ALICE ), and specifically told her not to go basically looking inside the box or she would rip her to shreds.
5. Mona read the book that was her teachers diary because she didnt know that it was originally in the box Klee had. Which was what she was sent to recieve.
6. Mona stays because she didnt wanna 'get in trouble' with her teacher.

Some fanon theories; there was this locked building with a very complicated seal that matches the sigl Abyss mages sit on. Mona was the only one in Mondstat who was able to break the very complicated seal - no one else in Mondstat could open. Inside it was everything an astrologist could want.

So... You can kinda infer that this was all according to her teachers plan, atm we dont know what is going on with her teacher. What her intention was. etc! Hoping to when fontaine comes out because it kinda feels like shes either THERE or in sumeru (the dendro place, and the place where the 'Smart people place' is ).

Hijikata is used to making decisions for the whole Shinsengumi since Kondou (his commander) trusts him with that (Kondou gets sidetracked a lot, ffff), so he can handle himself just fine! After Prismatica he took being isekai'd again pretty much in stride. And exactly, he's fairly calm and not worried since he knows that nothing can happen to anyone he cares for on other worlds with time frozen.

CRAUs are a wild ride for sure... it's especially fun when people from the same game end up together again in a totally different one, but hearing other characters' stories of yet different worlds is interesting for Hijikata too! And OMG I totally misinterpreted what I saw of Mona's situation with Kipposhi, haha... but that's cute. They're both strongheaded!

Thanks for all the lore!! It does seem like Mona's teacher puts great stock in Mona if she intended for her to find and break that seal, ahhhh. I'll stay tuned for when their story unfolds further!

Since I've only seen Mona use light magic so far, is water her strongest element? Is seems like it would be, but surprises do happen!

[lunarchain]

Eats up all this info, I been reading some of his wiki here and there but hearing it from your own words. Makes things tie together nicely! I think I joked and said that Monas only sane adult friend was Hijikata bc everyone else she talks to is either way crazy or just from her world.

It is!! Its why she struggles with Light magic, can do a little bit of illusions since thats what her skills were like in the game. Otherwise she cant make shields, unless someone else makes a shield. Then she can strengthen it - but she will struggle to make shields for a longgg time.

She can make tiny stars. And step on them like platforms, but thats it!! Her control over water remains the same, though she is delighted she can do more with elemental magic here.

[mayoninofukucho]

Aw!! That's a lot of credit considering she had to walk his drunk ass home the first time she met him! He usually is reliable, though, even if he's kind of nuts in his own way too.

That's a cool way to explore her take on her magic types! She's starting out as defence support as fighting goes, it seems... and her stars are so stylish, if she were an idol type she could make herself a spectacular interactive stage out of hardlight.
