PLAYER: Scout
CONTACT: PM or [plurk.com profile] ScoutRPsStuff. I pretty much only use my Plurk for RP stuff.
ABOUT YOU: I'm a silly mostly one fandom at a time sort and right now I'm in the midst of Expedition 33 brain rot. Outside of that, I'm a Instructional Designer who reads a lot of non-fiction and plays RPGs. I try to tag at least once a day, but since I tag at work, this can vary if I have to actually do my job or if my disability is acting up (I have MS. It's not a good time - no time for more fandoms, too busy sleeping.) I code sometimes.

I used to go here and was Linhardt von Hevring. New brain rot unlocked so. You know how it is.

SPOILER NOTE: Clea is by nature pretty much a walking CO:E33 spoiler. If you'd like to opt out, please hit me up and I'll be happy to avoid you to save spoilers!
CHARACTER: Clea Dessendre from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I'm on the hype train choo chooooo. All aboard!
CHARACTER INFO: Clea Dessendre is a menace to society.

Oh, more than that?

Clea is an artist from fantasy Fin de siècle Paris, where painters have the ability to create literal pocket worlds inside of their Canvases. Clea is a woman whose soul is dedicated to the mastering of the arts. She's a skilled Painter. She dances beautifully. She plays the harp exquisitely. She sings. She has all of the refinement one might expect of a rich, artistic Frenchwoman from the early 20th century... and she also solves all of her problems with the threat of violence and is more than happy to engage in fisticuffs or a duel in the street.

She's also kind of the stone age predecessor of the goths in that she has a fascination with the weird, eerie, and macabre. She loves the broken, the abandoned, the strange and the unusual. The more unconventional and offputting, the better. This extends to people. Are you weird and interesting? Good.

Right now, Clea is in the throes of very raw grief and most of it comes out as anger. Alas. The rest is repressed. Let her be extra at you, or engage in some 'friendly' competition. She's extremely competitive and a perfectionist to her very core: beating her at something will result in her dedicating her time to proving herself.

Big older sister energy. She's going to pull your hair.


PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

  • Let her make monsters for you! If you're a figher type, Clea fucking loves making weird disturbing creatures that kill and injure people in a variety of horrifying ways. (She's working through some things...). It's not real, so it's a good way to train and she really likes showing off her monsters. She just encountered the Tonberries and she's going to make them so much worse better. :D

  • Alternatively, people to have fun with. As Clea finally gets some space to grieve, she's regressing a bit and it would do her good to just...mess around and relearn that life can be fun. Friendly competition, her being frustrated by being surrounded by people with super powers, her mercilessly roasting your lack of sartorial taste...

  • Allies in the missions: Clea thinks being tasked to save her world tracks. OBVIOUSLY, Paris is the center of the world and OBVIOUSLY art is the center of the world and so OBVIOUSLY they chose her. (She doesn't lack in the self-esteem department.) She's fully here for the missions even when she's full of snarky commentary, and allies would be welcome. She also is the type of person who needs a purpose/something to do, so she'll be grabbing onto this pretty hard.

  • Related to the above, re: her regressing. She needs surrogate younger siblings. Let her be your irresponsible older sister. Parent? Absolutely not - she's the aunt/sister who will facilitate your irresponsible escapades. And roast you. Possibly dunk you in a lake. Or shove you. She doesn't miss them. At all. Stop suggesting it.

  • Other art people and/or snobs. Clea has a very, very strong passion for art and will pontificate if she's allowed. She's very talented and likes multiple forms of art and will happily talk about all of them.

  • Please, dear God, have her meet some people with some emotional health. Clea needs help expressing her emotions in non-violent and non-angry ways.You can't punch/stab/monster your way through grief, Clea. Just any kind of person or space where she can learn that expressing herself is okay, actually, and people aren't going to despise her if she slows the slightest bit of vulnerability.

  • Alternatively, people to try making her worse? She's definitely bordering on villain territory. She has to deal with her grief, who's to say she does so in a healthy way?

  • Gods or powerful beings or really anyone in a position to dig into Clea's attitude towards her family's creations. She's terribly abusive of her power and incredibly dismissive of the pain of anyone she considers 'not real' or who lacks agency. I really want to put her in positions where she's the vulnerable/not real/mortal one and cause her to question herself or have that attitude judged. Potentially with breakdowns. The shoe needs to be on the other foot.

  • Related to the above, situations where she's vulnerable and needs help from other people. Her self-loathing will flare so much. Let's make her suffer.
