✖ CHARACTER:
Name: Arcueid Brunestud
Canon: Tsukihime/Melty Blood
PB/Image: Here
Info links: Here
Canon Point: Arcueid Route, post True End
Gender & Sex: Female for Both!
Age: Old as balls. Nah, she's ~800 years old though she looks to be and acts like a young adult.
Birthdate/Sign:
Well. Arcueid's "canon" birthday is December 25th, though it's worth noting that this is just a random day she picked to be her birthday out of simply wanting one! She doesn't know her actual birthdate, and based on the attributes of the Capricorn sign, it doesn't really match Arcueid at all. So that said, I'd think Arcueid fits much more under Gemini.

If you were to sum up Arcueid, she would be a bubbly, cheerful and energetic person, all of which are central traits of a Gemini. Her childish naivete is a charming attribute, and her curiosity about the human world also lends to her charm. She's generally just a fun person to be around because of her energy and curiosity! Though on the other side of the coin, she does have a tendency to have too much energy to handle sometimes. She can become impatient with other people, since not everyone has the energy to keep up with her breakneck pace or to follow her sometimes strange lines of thought. Because of the circumstances surrounding her, she also has a tendency to not want make commitments (especially to other people) because there's an impermanence in the idea that she'll have to go back to sleep, which is the most evidenced by her refusal to simply drink Shiki's blood to stay awake.

Since her self-styled birthday is just a random date she picked, if possible, I'd instead like her tattoo to reflect Gemini. Of course, if that's not possible or too much of a stretch, I'm perfectly happy to go with Capricorn! It just fits so poorly for her personality, haha...
Tattoo: Regardless of the sign, the tattoo will be about an inch and a half tall/wide and located on her left hip.
Suitability:
Coming from an eroge is probably proof enough, but since there's a significant plot between the bad porn, I'll elaborate! Arcueid is hardly a sexual being by nature, being much more innocent and a bit shy, but she's not ignorant by any means. When the main character of Tsukihime helps her out, she decides to reward him by sending her succubus familiar. While not really appropriate, she was hardly ignorant about what the familiar would do—However, she was shy and surprised when he admitted that the familiar gave him a vision of herself!

Though naturally as the game progresses, the main character does have sex with Arcueid, which she is happy to initiate. She's the kind of person that would rather have sex with someone she loves, but she's also very goal-driven and will do what's necessary to accomplish it. In Zodion where sex is essential for flourishing, she'll take the task with some awkwardness, but she wouldn't completely dismiss it. Though I feel like that as time went on, Arcueid would grow much more comfortable with a potential promiscuity for the sake of helping out the city as a whole, and of course for her own well-being.
Power:
Being a ridiculously powerful being even within her own universe, so all of her powers will be nerfed save for her very heightened regeneration. She isn't capable of extremely quick regeneration in her canonpoint, so severe injuries would take several days to completely heal, but she could be up and walking within in a few hours with the danger of the wounds opening up again. If this needs expansion, I can provide plenty of information, since this is something clearly laid out in canon.
Personality:
“Really? I like 'What ifs.'
Not knowing how things will turn out, yet
still having hope at least for that moment.”

Arcueid is really one of the most cheerful, optimistic and friendly people you could ever meet. She seems to have a great interest and passion for the normal things in life, and takes great joy in things as simple as eating a hamburger or going to see a movie. In fact, it almost feels like she's living every moment like it's her last, so every moment is full of joy and hope. And, of course, as it goes for fictional characters, in a way, she is.

Arcueid isn't your typical vampire for a lot of reasons besides her bubbly personality. She's the princess of the vampires, and yet not, because in reality, Arcueid is a being created by the rest of the vampires to exterminate their kin who had fallen and been unable to suppress their desire to feed on humans. She existed solely as a weapon and had no thoughts or desires, since every time she was awoken to perform her duty as executioner, her memories of each time were destroyed before she again went to sleep. This continued for a while until a human seeking immortality tricked Arcueid into drinking his blood, which not only made him a very powerful vampire, but also awakened the vampiric impulse that had been dormant in Arcueid before. After slaughtering many vampires in a berserk mode, she opted to sleep again until her duty needed to be performed once more.

So during the course of Tsukihime, Arcueid is tracking down the now-vampire that fed her his blood, but happens to run into a young man who can see death manifested as lines and dots on everything. But of course, as luck would have it, he's also got a healthy dose of crazy and ends up being able to kill Arcueid and significantly weaken her. It's by this odd team-up of a vampire and the person that killed her that Arcueid is able to become more than a weapon, because through having to work with Shiki, she's exposed to many things that she otherwise would have had no interest or need to look into.

Since she doesn't have much experience with the world, she tends to come off as rather naive and childish. Experiences like movies are an enthralling and unique experience that she gets totally caught up in, or on the other hand, if someone is a bit rude to her, she might call them something as childish as a "meanie." It's an interesting and often noted contradiction, since this is a woman with great and terrible power, yet she takes the greatest pleasure in simple and normal things in life.

And as such, we come to that quote at the top. This is the quote that I think embodies how Arcueid is and views the world. It's an optimistic and hopeful sentiment, but also very bittersweet. Even though she takes such joy in the normalcies of human life, she's also caught in the "what ifs." Even though she enjoys them so much, she also believes they're fundamentally something she can't have. She can't have a normal and fun life because it was never meant to be, and she even goes as far in this belief as to deny herself of the chance once it's presented to her. To Arcueid, that kind of happiness simply isn't possible for her. It's ultimately just a "what if."

This is the ultimate tragedy of Arcueid, and it's one that she keeps very well hidden. She's torn between her duty as the weapon of the True Ancestors and her desire to simply live. She doesn't complain about her burden at all, since she feels that it's something that she deserves or is simply her fate, but still longs for something else. So this tragedy is why Arcueid really presents as so bubbly, curious and cheerful. Every interaction and experience she has is something temporary and fleeting, so she wants to learn and enjoy as much as she can before she loses it once she returns to sleep.

But of course, it's hard to pull that out of her. Arcueid is the kind of person to keep up that cheerful and friendly facade until her death, because she doesn't want to burden other people with her problems. Even when she does reveal her feelings of loneliness and the hardship she's dealt with, she has a habit of sugarcoating it. She might say that it's "not so bad" with a smile, but of course, she's really just trying to diminish the impact it has. She has gotten a bit better at learning to share her feelings since meeting Shiki, but it's still not something she will easily admit to.

But overall, Arcueid is a strange, whimsical person. One moment she might be seriously explaining how to confront a situation, but at one comment may laugh with a bright smile and instead branch off to something else. She may not quite understand the general social norms (though she's getting better!!), but it somehow makes her very charming despite her mistakes. Yet these traits don't negate her inclination as a living weapon, so she's hardly to be underestimated as an enemy, which makes her a valuable friend and ally. But most of all, her greatest strength is to look in the face of an impossible circumstance with a smile and wonder "what if," and hope for what the future may hold, even if it's almost impossible.

so pressing buttons makes things show up? this is really neat! humans make such interesting things.

so i think these things are used for communication so i might as well try. do you introduce yourself first? or is that weird since you don't know who you're talking to?

but i guess that's not that important actually. how do you even dele

got it! and sorry about all of that since i've never really used anything like this before. i understand the letter pretty much and i don't mind helping but at the same time

well i was somewhere else that i don't think i should have been taken from is my point. it doesn't really seem to be a reality marble but it's hard to tell that too. it's really too weird!

sorry i'm probably rambling again. so i guess hello instead? i still don't know who this is going to go to but i hope it's not much of a bother. it's nice to meet you?

"Zodionlogs" Third-Person Prose Entry:
She can feel the chains.

It's strange, she thinks, because she can so often feel their weight. They're chains that can't be broken, because they chain the sleeping princess to her throne, so their weight is never truly forgotten. And as she drifts downward into the blackness of her deep sleep, she doesn't think for a moment to struggle against it. It's her purpose in life. There's no reason to struggle.

...But still, in that dream, seaches out, because she thinks of that person's hand, wondering how things would be different. If she had taken it, then...?

Her eyes snap open with her arm outstretched upward, and she stares at her hand with nothing less than shock. She can't be awake, it's just not possible yet. But her thoughts are drawn away quickly as she feels a sharp sting on her hip, and she jolts up on the stone bed. Where she is hasn't occured to her yet, but she immediately starts to begin to hike up the layers of her gown so that she can look and see what that stinging is even coming from. Only magic could really sting like that!

The symbol that she sees is familiar. She can identify it as an astrological symbol, since they were sometimes used in magecraft, but she can't identify which one it specifically is. Arcueid reaches out to brush her fingers against it, but as the glow fades, her fingers hesitate there. It dawns on her then how light her arms feel, how light her body feels. The chains aren't there to bind her.

She looks up, letting the gown settle into place as her brow furrows deeply. This was...

...

What was this? She feels a strangeness, in a way she can't quite describe. There's a void there, because something that had always been with her was missing. She couldn't put it into words, but it was something missing that had been just as much a part of her as her own physical self.

That makes her stand with caution, her eyes narrowed in suspicion as she looks up to the letter and the odd device. The "backup" was gone, but she was sure that it wasn't a dream barrier. And even a reality marble would be...

"What kind of place is this?" she murmurs thoughtfully to herself, but she immediately reaches toward both items, a bit against her better judgement.
