CHARACTER: Ciel
SECT: Kenoma
NATURE OF CONFLICT: She was an obedient tin soldier in canon and she's going to keep doing that here so let's THROW HANDS 🔪👊 She will absolutely be actively fighting and mostly rely on martial arts over the provided weaponry, though she will take daggers for throwing and the local whips offered by the soldiers that they were all initially strung along with.
-She will adjust her output to match that of any opponent.
-She will look like she's fighting seriously for all intents and purposes, but also avoid vital areas where damage can genuinely endanger someone's life.
-She will focus on dislocating shoulders and incapacitating over causing bleeding wounds, though she may get stabby once it becomes apparent Pleromas have healers who can treat shallow wounds.
-Who wants to ICly get whipped by a girlboss, I ask this unironically because the mods gave me too much power (more like she was nice and helpful to the soldiers so some of them are chill with her now, who knew decency gets rewarded even as a baddie--). She actually has proficiency in most weaponry but favors ranged personally, and while she may be a vampire hunter by trade, she's no Belmont, alas. The whip will most likely be used traditionally for posturing than actually causing harm, but we can arrange things if... anyone is, into that, cough.

As for the outcome I don't mind and neither would Ciel ICly, experienced fighters would be able to tell she knows how to fight and does it well, but is clearly making an impression (or in other words, stalling) over any desire to actually harm or kill. However I am 100% down for her getting injured in the process through any means, she has funky immortality from her canon point that is nerfed to be much slower in Horos but still present nonetheless. All wounds sustained heal on their own as they seem to "rewind", as if time is going backwards until her body is restored to a state before injury.

Fighting her would be akin to fighting a machine, she won't taunt or say much, just keep it purely professional. She can also perform minor healing to assist fellow Kenomas and can use magic, but will mostly not use it offensively if she can help it (i.e. breach a magical Pleroma-erected barrier; she'd be happy to let a more eager Kenoma do it, but will make an effort to step up if she seems like the only one capable).

I will most likely TL for part two and am open to wildcard starters/touching base with more fellow Kenoma to establish rapport. Happy to plot o/

BONUS: May I interest anyone/people in a hostage situation... I want to say she won't harm non-combatants, and while it's generally true, she's also better than she SHOULD be at playing the villain on top of being a practitioner of "the ends justify the means". I'm only entertaining the idea if things ICly end up being too "slow" or TOO chaotic, ie not enough Kenomas are trying and it's making them look bad, or it's looking like there will be too many casualties (unlikely?). She would have no intention of seriously harming (sorry for a few minor bruises, gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette) or keeping the hostage even if she secures one, but the tension and drama sure would be enough to make it look like they're all doing something while "negotiations" continue buying Pleromas time, which she'll probably pick up on relatively quickly. This is a very tentative proposition that would require plotting, but if it sounds interesting to people, let's hash something out?
