Mukuro 'Junko' Ikusaba | Danganronpa

[corpsewarblade]

Character Name: Mukuro Ikusaba
Canon: Danganronpa
Info:
Here be spoilers. A student at Hope's Peak Academy, a Japanese High School that collects the most talented prospective students from across the country and beyond, assigning them 'Ultimate' titles based on what they are the best-of-the-best at and encouraging them to hone said talents. Mukuro here is the Ultimate Soldier, having worked as part of an elite Mercenary group called Fenrir - but she returned to Japan to attend Hope's Peak and help her twin sister (and Ultimate Fashionista/Despair) Junko end the world with the power of despair. Oops?

As part of her sister's plans, she was posing as her in the killing game Junko set up in their school. Only problem is, her acting is atrocious, she knows nothing about fashion and can't help but nerd out about weapons and military stuff. She's a loyal, devoted bodyguard with a basically non-existent self worth thanks to her sister's abuse. Mukuro has precisely two braincells, one devoted to Junko and one devoted to military stuff, but she always tries her best.
Magics & Familiar: Animal Light+Blood / Hellhound

Desired CR: Anything really! Potential shipping is great and I'm very much enjoying Mukuro's saga of silly dates and crushes, but I'd love for her to make new friends and build up the friendships she already has- I'm always open to negative CR as well, even whilst posing as Junko she can be abrasive.

More broadly, people she can talk about weapons and such with whilst pretending to be a fashionista (and failing), people she can talk fashion with (and failing at that too), and people she can quest with (and maybe slightly less failing) are all good fun.

Known Plans: She posted anonymously on the network a few days back about her death in canon, and is currently...trying to process all the answers she got. And maybe, maybe figuring out that her sister actually planned her death from the start.

Things are probably going to come to a head with her identity crisis soon one way or another, but I'm not entirely sure what that's going to look like just yet.

TDM wise she'll be doing the Fighting Badass and Caring Badass prompts, so if anyone wants company for hunting undead or someone to look out for them after they've got their tattoos, she's your girl. Quest wise she'd be up for Cult Classic - she's one quest away from Knighthood!

She's also not had a haircut since coming to Avalon please help her.

Monika needs help designing her "magical girl" costume, and she so happens to be friend with the ultimate fashionista! So she may go and ask Mukuro for help...

... Which may lead to potentials of opening up when it goes awfully? Monika's on her end is a bit more inclined to speak of her past after her video game experience sort of forced her to do it.

[corpsewarblade]

Magical Girl Monika sounds absolutely adorable ngl

But yeesss please I would love that! Mukuro would feel so bad about disappointing her when she's not able to make things work.

Muku, too, is more likely to open up about things after the fallout from her Blade-anon post, so cute heart-to-hearts about 'So here's how we ended the world because despair' might be a thing?

[peninhand]

Yeah, that'd be great!

And Monika would be really good at giving advice that she can't follow herself, so hopefully she'd be of help to get her in a better mental space.

[corpsewarblade]

That would be good! Mukuro isn't the best at advice but she'll try her best- and at least won't be too freaked to hear about what Monika did in her world.

[peninhand]

Do you want me to make a thread for this? I'll have a log going up later this week I think.

[colchismagecraft]

Yes please, if you could that would be wonderful- thank you!

[peninhand]

Here you go!

No rush to reply, and lemme know if I should change anything!

[irritated]

Okay so I absolutely love Hikaru messing with Mukuro and admittedly, since losing his twin he's bored and will probably want to mess around more with people. But if we want to do more than just Hikaru being a troll, it could come out that the twin Hikaru is heavily dependent on is gone and this can be a moment since Mukuro has her own issues with her twin. If you're into it!

[corpsewarblade]

Oh I am loving Hikaru bullying the poor fake Fashionista, it's hilarious and I'm all for that carrying on, so feel free to have him be mean.

But yes Mukuro is...heavily dependant on her own twin who isn't here, so if that truth ever comes out from either of them that could be interesting- if he pushes her enough she may just snap that she's trying to do this for her sister's sake and it could snowball from there, but I'm open to other ways this could creep out too.

[irritated]

I'm so glad! If it ever becomes too much then just let me know.

But I really like the idea of Hikaru pushing her too far and her snapping that. It would definitely make Hikaru take a step back and reconsider her and immediately feel like they have something super important in common. Especially because right now, he feels like nobody understands what he's going through.

[corpsewarblade]

Of course!

Ohh yes I like that idea- think he's likely to PM her, or will it be a case of whoever network posts first?

[irritated]

He would totally PM her if you want to do this sooner rather than later? He's being a lot more of a nightmare to deal with his crap emotions right now so he'd seek her out.

[corpsewarblade]

That'd be perfect- she's in a pretty shaky state so it won't take much for her to snap.

[irritated]

I'll do that either tonight or tomorrow!

[mayoninofukucho]

If Mukuro signed up to be Hijikata's caretaker for a day they could use that time to... not do anything related to the actual ritual but rather talk about her situation in person (and maybe, if we want to make him sweat a little, even about his situation too, given that he'll have moved into Riou's camp). But we can also have that happen later!

On the Caster front this bastard will probably be happy enough to tell her all about Japanese hell with its many different sub-sections and gruesome punishments - unless he has a heart and remembers that he, too, loved and lost someone and later found her again across the multiverse, so he might actually give her a sliver of hope instead.

[corpsewarblade]

I'd like that! And it'd give them a chance to talk with Mukuro as herself in person for the first time, which might be interesting and almost certainly awkward. If she finds out about him moving into Riou's camp though she'll totally want to ask him about that.

I'm just imagining Hijikata telling Caster all about the nasty Japanese Hell and Caster just breaking into tears on the call- maybe at that point he could give her a little nudge of hope?

[mayoninofukucho]

That sounds fantastic on both counts. Mukuro will find out that Hijikata moved (temporarily, he kept his hotel room) because he'll send her the camp location to meet him. And if Caster cries at the horrific picture he paints for her he'll feel bad for sure!

[colchismagecraft]

Wonderful, we have a plan! I'm planning on getting the Caster network post up soon-ish- are you going to have a TL for Hijikata or should I put something up in my TL when I get around to it?

Is Hijikata likely to mention in the call that he knows what's up? Or will it be a case of Junko turning up to do the ritual and him being all "So hey you know I know you're Mukuro right?"

[mayoninofukucho]

I'm working on my post right now, I should get it up at some point tonight! I was planning to make an open prompt for potential caretakers with Hijikata waiting for them at the camp, but if you'd like Mukuro to be the one who does the egg ritual with him I'll close that prompt to her - that way they can actually go wherever afterwards (since he'll likely only find out that Riou's gone after that). He won't barge in with his knowledge right away, he'll try to be delicate about it... unlike with poor Caster he cares about Mukuro's feelings, pffff.

[colchismagecraft]

Oh, doing the egg ritual together sounds like it could be interesting! Like "...you're sure about doing this right? It's gonna hurt like a bitch."

Then as you say, they can walk back together and deal with the fallout from that.

Also, you know, at least the caretaker magic thing will mean she can be more easily poked into revealing stuff/at least taking that stupid wig off so he can see what she actually looks like.

[mayoninofukucho]

Perfect, it's all coming together... poor Mukuro, she thought she could trust Hijikata to not abuse his power, and then he goes and presses her to admit all kinds of deeply personal matters! He pries because he cares, promise.

[scriptwriter]

Kotarou here actually used to be in the superpowered military, so I wouldn't mind them meeting and geeking out over guns one day. He recently gotten his pistol upgraded to use magic, so he might take a moment to want to show off for a cute girl.

He's a loyal friend if you can get past his arrogance and social awkwardness!!

[corpsewarblade]

Ooo I'd like that! Just imagining him thinking she's a normal cute girl and showing off the firearms, then finding her geeking out right along with him-

They might butt heads a bit but I'm all for seeing where it goes! Do you have a catch-all or anything, or should I ping you when I get one of my own up?

[scriptwriter]

Same here! Kotarou has a talent for annoying people even when he doesn't mean it, but let's see how it goes. I don't have a catch-all up at the moment, but I'll absolutely tag you if you have anything up or have a top-level up for the upcoming event.
