Quest!: Sailor Algol, Senshi of Ghosts


User ImageName: Mindy Lee

Age: 15

Birthday: 09/09

Sign: Virgo

Blood type: A

Favourite Food: Anything super-spicy, and artificial. The stuff that you get in instant noodle packets that contains msg and 'flavour spices', as well as wasabi, curry packets, you get the idea.

Hated Food: Noodles. She doesn't like how they look, because they aren't aligned straight - thus messing with her OCD compulsion (She will often buy a box of instant noodles and eat only the flavour packet). She proceeds to burn the rest of the noodles, or donate them to hapless victims - or so she thinks.

School: Crystal Academy

Background:

Mindy is as typical 'rich girl's daughter' as they get. She likes to wear nice dresses, likes it when her daddy spoils her, and always makes sure to be as sweet and loving to her parents. Her family is also rich enough to own their own private maids and butlers, where Mindy first met Emily.

Of course she's smart enough to hide all her world domination plans away from her parents' eyes.

Hobbies:

-------------- Scrapbooking and Photography: Mindy loves to take bits and pieces from magazines and newspapers, cuts off the figures' heads, and sticks them into the scrapbook. And we really mean, only the heads, from neck up. They must be cut in complete, symmetrical circles, and cut with a mini portable laser cutter that Emily gave on her birthday once.

She also uses her small semi-pro Nikon D60 (which can be seen hanging around her neck) to take photos of her daily life, to keep logs, and also of course, take photos of classmates, people, and other interactions. Important people and future 'followers' get printed out on photo paper and stuck into her journal... with the rest of their body cut off.

------------- Updating her Doctrine on 'How you Will Die':

Within her little black-bound book lies propositions, and the do's and donts, and also that death really is painless (its just the dying part that hurts.. kind of). They come with 'easy deaths for beginners' charts, and the pages flow somewhat seamlessly to her ultimate goal at the very back of the book, the final chapter 'Why I should live and create a much better world for us all.

Her journal is full of organized charts of plans, day-to-day actions, and what seems like, future goals. 'Ruling the world' is marked in bold red marker on the front page of her journal, and she's actually printed off a few copies of her doctrine's work in progress, giving them to potential allies.

As she is clearly working on the 'how-tos' of her book, a lot of the process work is obscured in blank pages, making all-in-all, her mission and book look pretty much like a total joke. But dont take her lightly or joke about this, she's all srs bizness about ruling the world!



Mindy's Personal Agenda


Proposal: So far it involves basically, eliminate all pain and suffering in the world via the Killing Everyone Off Method

Methodology: Ok, so maybe she read 'A Modest Proposal' just a few too many times. However, she knows her limits, and being still only, 15, so for now, most of it is scheming and planning several sometimes at some rather far-fetched ideas in the background, while attempting to be somewhat sociable as to gather future partners and would-be minions. She almost always carries her bound black leather journal with her, which contains notes of her daily interactions, readings, and future plans.

Future senshi mission statement: Once (and if) she gains senshi powers, it would be a crossroads or beginnings for her to consider other options to her personal, ah, plans. For example her biggest plan might be to, lets say, control ALL the undead and resurrect them as her underling servants, making her Future Queen of All Things Ghostly. In her little black bound journal of notekeeping, she takes notes as to whom would be worthy to join her army. Nevermind that everyone other than Emily thinks she's nuts.

References:

Consequentialism utopia, aka: a world where the 'ends justify the means.'

Doctrine of mental reservation: to create a new ideology for how one should go about reinforcing new laws.









Virtues:

-------------- Diligent She knows what her goals are, knows that she has to get there, and will try most means to reach them. Mindy doesn't get distracted easily: if she wants something, she'll literally exhaust it to the ground until either she gets it, or the person smacks her on the head for her diligence. This is easily confused with stubbornness as well.

--------------- Compromising At least it seems, most of the time. When thrown with something abnormal, she thinks first with the thought "Well, how can I make this out into something useful?" If the situation gets unbearable she'll consider other means ("EMILYYYYYYYY!!!"), but its all 'negotiation' first.

--------------- Generous Unfortunately though, most of her thoughtfulness is treated with a "uh... thanks, I think." Mindy thinks she's out on a mission, and if there are people who she can benefit from on her self-imposed plans, she will try everything to gain their graces. Including gift handouts of her own self-bound book "How you will die."

--------------- 'I'm not trying to be cute!' But oh she is, and can be. Though this often is accompanied by a "oh that's so cute, heehee" and wave of hands by most adults and fellow peers, Mindy is all srs bizness. Insert wide eyes and flustered expression here. For all her world-wide-takeover-creepy-scrapbook-of-heads, is that she seems, at heart, kind of cute. Kind of.

Flaws:

-------------- One-sided: Everything is about HER, her goals, her plans, her statement. If anyone has any oppositions, clearly they just haven't seen the light (aka: her ways) quite yet. "What you dont want to lose your head? How do you know if you've never tried it?"

------------- Obsessive: And slightly compulsive. Mindy herself doesn't have a solo obsession, but she has these minor compulsions that tend to also be her Achilles Heel. For example, objects aligned crookedly will make her feel sick to the stomach, because they ruin her idea of "perfect symmetry". She cannot step on any cracks on the ground, because "the floor is not paved properly", hates the number eight, the list goes on. If someone, god forbid, hit one of there minor compulsions, she will loose her cool act and literally, act like a spoiled, childish brat until it's fixed (if, and ever).

Justification on obsessive-compulsive actions, as explained by wikipedia: The typical sufferer performs tasks, or compulsions, to seek relief from obsession-related anxiety. Within and among individuals, the initial obsessions, or intrusive thoughts, can vary in their clarity and vividness. A relatively vague obsession could involve a general sense of disarray or tension, accompanied by a belief that life cannot proceed as normal while the imbalance remains.

Clarity of what it means by 'compulsive' as explained by wikipedia: Compulsive behavior is behavior which a person does compulsively—in other words, not because they want to behave that way, but because they feel they have to for no reason at all.


Mindys List of Main Compulsions


The straight line factor.
- Everything must be in a straight line. While this is negotiable with real life objects, all of Mindy's books must be stacked in a straight, even line, with not a single page out of place. Her pencil box must have every single pencil sharpened to the exact same height to maintain her straight line intergrity. All her charts are hand-drawn with only the straightest precision techniques known to her (aka: a ruler), and all writing must be on lined paper. Jagged edges on most utensils, paper, library books are a huge no-no.

- All things if not square themselves, must be aligned in a straight line
- If something is bent out of shape, it is beyond hope
- When walking down the street, one must be sure to avoid walking directly on straight line cracks as to perserve their amazing perfection: also care must be taken to walk in a straight line down sidewalks.

Chips and dents: God forbid if she sees any seemingly smooth, polished objects with even a chip or crack in it. First she'll stare at it with a nervous twitch, which will probably escalate to a full-scale war between her and said item if nothing is done with it. Obviously she will not want to (shudder) ever TOUCH it herself, so a secondhand means - either someone else or the person with the offending object - must be done to get rid of it. Chips on the rims of otherwise perfectly clean cups, pieces of paper cut roughly, the list can go on and on.

All lids must be closed: EVERYTHING, from markers to milk cartons must have the lids closed on. If not, clearly diseases will get into the milk, or markers will immediately dry up, even after .01 second of usage. She will not drink milk that has been exposed in a cup for longer than 10 minutes either.






------------- Childish: In the end, she's really just a well, spoiled 15-year old kid. She might have AMAZING plans of grandeur, but without proper execution plans yet, they can get foiled time and again, making her look somewhat like the 15-year old version of Pinky, with no "Brain" so to say. People being incredulous at her ploys will only land a rather "What do you mean it wont work?" Insert pout here. It's almost naively innocent in a sense, if one got past the she really wants to behead everyone point of view.

Senshi Information:

Power sphere: Ghosts, of course XD

Challenge: How should I scare you?

Attack #1: Ghost Light: Summons two small 'ghostly companions' (they just look like orbs of pearly white light really) to cause mischief. They will swirl around her and knock objects around and into the air, trying to cause damage. The downside is that they're a little untrained and sometimes hit her too (...)

Attack #1b: Ghost Fade: Summons two small 'ghostly companions' (same appearance as the ones above) to latch onto her. They will hide her from the appearance of most things (ie: strong light will give away her appearance)

Attack #2: Overshadowing: Summons one (larger) spirit who jumps into an attacker's shadow and 'takes control of their shadow' aka: attempts to control and restrict their movements. This attack can be fought off though, and doesn't work too well if there aren't any shadows around.


Why NOT Negaverse:

Bah the Negaverse. They say its evil, but Mindy personally thinks all this terrorist stuff is all cult based. The sheer thought of having to work for someone ELSE and not reap any benefit she can use makes her feel a little sick to the stomach, not to mention indignant. She NEVER takes orders from anyone, not even her daddy!

Sailor Algol is meant to be a rogue senshi meaning, she does as she wants. Whether this is teaming up for good or evil, all in all the lines are blurred and rather vague: the proper question is "How useful can they be to her?"

Though Mindy's intentions of er 'liberating' people may be considered evil to some, she actually means well. And, in a sense caring, really /coughsarcasm. She's not really greedy as she is immature and a bit selfish.

Mindy and Emily:


As taken from Lizbot's questing thing:

Lizbot
(Emily) with Mindy: As Emily is around the same age as the Lee family's daughter, she was raised as Mindy's personal maid. To Emily, the world pretty much revolves around Mindy. Fortunately Mindy is in agreement, and the two get along fairly well. Mindy's sometimes eccentric demands and OCD tendencies create the sort of everyday challenges that Emily loves to put all her energy into. She is also fully ready to do whatever is needed of her to support Mindy's World domination efforts, and any other plans that come up along the way.


Mindy basically views Emily in the same regard. She is complacent, useful, and doesn't complain. Emily is pretty much the sibling she wants: useful, quiet, and sometimes aggravatingly serious with a captial S.




Mindy and Cristo


Unfortunately, Mindy suffers from a light case of Cat Allergy-itis. While she's not entirely intolerant of The Useless Cat, she does see him as a formidable opponent in her future plans to rule the world. What do you mean its not ok for senshi to abuse their powers for their own good? Why cant he also do her bidding like a good minion?

Mindy has a very mild case of a "tsundere" relationship with him. While trying to act cool an somewhat hating towards his often-acerbic tongue, all she really wants is to pet him, allergies or not.

OHAI I HAVE CRITS FOR YOU and I figured posting might be easier than having Demy copy+paste stuff over again and again lol. |D Also removing dark blue tag so it's easier to reeeead~

With her 'Mission Statement,' what will she do with those that are unworthy? Will she just kill them dead or ignore them? Or turn them into slaves but make then gravediggers or something in order to have zombie-bombs against her enemies to entrap them for ghostification later? Does she ever change her mind about who's worthy and who isn't? What qualifications is she looking for? Does she have a more scientific method or mystical method in mind for this, or is she more willing to try out both/every raising method possible in order to see what works?
What about animals? Would she keep ghost-dogs around? Ghost-spiders to haunt those that squished them in order to literally scare their soul out of them?
What if someone she wants is dead -- would she try seances to bring them back? Ouija boards? What's her view on the spirits that may or may not already be around, such as brownies, gnomes, and the little purple men that steal your keys and move them around?


Do any of her scrapbooks relate to any of the people she's noting down for becoming her future servants? Will she stalk people with a camera in order to have a visual link to them?
ALSO ON THAT NOTE does she believe that cameras/images can steal souls or pieces of a person soul, and thus the more pictures she has = stronger the hold she has on them? =D

As for her flaws/virtues, how willing is she to believe in someone else's words? Like... what if someone told her that there's a spirit trapped in a well that only appears at a half-moon? Would she believe them? Go investigate herself? Disbelieve them? Demand proof? If she wants proof, has she experienced something in her life that led her to believe ghosts are around or did she watch too many 'Ghost Trackers'? :3

As for her attacks... 'Geist' is German for 'ghost.' There's something about the name of that attack that throws me off... perhaps do some research into different types of ghosts/spirits and see if there's a shadow-based one? Might be fun to play with poltergeists (ghosts that inhibit objects), banshees (wailers), and the like.

Hope that helps! |3

Um... this might sound like a stupid question, but uh... Wasn't there a Senshi of Ghosts before? In the diaries section?

-edit-
Oh it was Discord I was thinking she was ghosts because it says ghosts are a no go on the list of acceptible things....

found her now though... she talked to ghosts and everything..... sweatdrop I remember it 'cause one of Willow's things was talking to ghosts and I didn't want to use it 'cause she'd already taken it by the time I was making willow's quest...

Which is why I turned it into an obsession with trying to catch them on tapes... and now I'm utterly confused....

also the art is Lovely!

---

But that aside...

Does she have any other Hobbies? Besides Scrapbooking and Journal-keeping? And does she want to be like the influential people or is she picking out their good qualities and throwing out things people don't like? [Since I assume it ties into her wanting to take over the world.]

Also is she superstitious at all? I know you said she's OCD so she won't step on cracks and such but I'm still curious if any superstitions also play into this, because some of what you've mentioned does tie into a few superstitions.

As for the attacks... like Maru said you may want to play with them a bit see what else is out there. Ghosts aren't the only thing out there you could play with.

And also one being named Ghost and the other one Giest actually kind of throws me off, why not use Ghost for both or Giest for both if you're going to do that? Only because it sounds a bit weird.

Also don't forget there's an attack 1A which is a power up of the first attack, you may want to include that in your attacks as well since they are 'slightly' better than the first attack.

THANK YOU FOR THE CRITS GUYS when I'm not like crosseyed staring at my Illustrator project due tomorrow I will sit down and do a clean hardwire fix omg *_*

@ Ghosts issue: Yes ghosts WAS taken, but the person who originally claimed it is no longer part of the shop, so I adopted it with Natsu's permission so that should be a-ok @_@ <3
PostPosted: Thu Oct 29, 2009 11:16 pm


Okay i was just curious on that. But yeah I'd thought Discord was ghosts 'cause I remembered her talking about being able to talk to ghosts... which sometimes tends to throw my memory for a loop about what someone's character is about/doing/etc. ^^;;; So -edit-was-/edit- just asking there...

and good luck with the project! heart

NP ZOO also since this question's been bugging me since I logged off my computer:

How did Mindy get interested in ghosts? =D What started her on her lust for world domination? It'd make a good solo RP later on, but perhaps writing that out'll help you think more about her. heart
PostPosted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 12:39 pm


WELL HON I SUCK AT CRITS and I think she's really interesting and awesome, so the only small thing I would suggest is maybe changing 'level-headed' to 'analytical'. Take it from somebody who has a generalized anxiety issue that bleeds into some obsessive/compulsive behavior when it gets to be too much, it is very hard to be level-headed while you're spazzing out about how straight a paper edge is in comparison to the tray it's placed on, etc etc. I feel that being analytical would fit both that aspect of her personality, and the description you gave for that particular virtue, a bit better.

All right, added as much as I could (And fixed some stuff) on basic information, might include profile on details about her hobbies/interest in ghosts too yuh @_@

Can I get just a little more posted crit from people willing? :S I will draw awesome chibi arts or sommat? heart
PostPosted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 6:04 am


I R teh suck at critiqueing, sooo don't take too much I say greatly to heart, but:

It wouldn't hurt to have another hobby, but I personally would move "trying to take over the world" into that category, as I imagine it'd take ALOT of her time up. Perhaps give a few examples of things she does to try and find fellow compatriots? Does she people watch? Hunt people out based on their myspace pages? Make photography/model friends and then try to persaude them, etc etc?

And a little less important (senshi stuff):

I'm a little curious why she's going to the senshi side actually. She seems absolutely ripe for the negaverse in my opinion. XD I mean, willing to kill off everyone, reaching for a 'better world' and all that jazz are the main business plan of the negaverse right?

As a senshi is she going to try and recruit other senshi to her side? What is she going to do if.. the majority of them poo-poo her or treat her like she's an actual enemy? And how is she with authority figures (most importantly how you think she'll be with the guardian cats)?

Ooh, quest art of senshi. You're nice, Chibi. I wish I had art for Psyche, my quested-for Senshi...

Sucky Not-Really-Crit: Ok, your attack 1b seems too different from attack 1, like it's a different attack and not just a powered-up version of attack 1.
(And the last name of Lee messes with my mind, but that's just my Naruto obsession coming out.)

But you've got a really interesting idea here-I'd love to see Mindy become an actual Senshi!

crit for you :3

she's just a bit negaverse-y to me, like maybe explain her taking over the world thing as more of a "good for everyone" because (being the senshi of ghosts) she can make sure/know that all the dead humans ghosts will live a much happier afterlife (which she controls)
-as well as the other senshi will have less to deal with since humans are dumb
-what would she do with the nega-baddies she picked off?
-what of her minions and followers?

attack 1 and 1b:
-maybe make attack one be more like the two little ghosty things make her arms invisible so that she can beat someone up and they have no idea where her fists are going next?
-then that means that attack 1b can make her entirely invisible and beat people up even more.

she is a really cool senshi concept, so goodluck! ♥

also, i would totally draw a sketch of her for you, but your art of her already is a bajillion times prettier than any of my pixely skethness ; A;
PostPosted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 8:34 pm


I'm also curious about the whole 'senshi vs. negaverse' aspect of her, haha. If she plans to rule the world with her undead minions, what does she think about the people she's saving, senshi-wise? Like...if they're going to die one day, as is, would she really rescue someone who's in the process of having their starseed stolen by a nega-baddie? I suppose I could see that, like, she'd rescue them because her grand plan for world domination involves their death in her own way, but still, ahaha

and I apologize for this crit if it sounds weird loool and uhhh if you want you can sketch my cat concept, Xochi, in her human form
