NOTABLE CHARACTER INFORMATION (ENDWALKER SPOILERS UNSKIPPABLE, SORRY)

- The Meteia are a hivemind of spacefaring psychic bird magical girls who have been steeped in despair and nihility, and have been voluntarily singing the magical heat death of the universe for thousands of years. They are PISSED at being taken from apocalypse-spinning, brought to a pasture, and nerfed. They hate all life. They hate you for living, specifically and intimately.

- I have fully wiped thir nebulously omnipotent/physically destructive abilities via selective amnesia! But they are still coming in with a full range of psychic powers specifically tailored to be able to claw out others' intimate thoughts, feelings and memories, and they will try to use those to incite characters to despair and death. I know not everyone wants angry birds telling them to die and nihility/suicide/etc can often be highly sensitive topics, so please see my general permissions/opt out/info gathering/etc. over here.

- Yes, it is possible to injure/partially kill them, but please see my note below about total permakill. They are also keeping their canon evasion abilities which make them briefly invisible/intangible; they're hard to pin down. It is also possible to fuck them up emotionally if you go about it the right way, but difficult.

- Their Weeds powers are healing, Zone of Truth which they don't need, Gravity Manipulation, and False Storm. They do have a trigger word, and it will affect all bodies at once if spoken by a Shepherd.

- Pings-wise, they are WILD. In general, they feel like a howling void of darkness and despair, but also fundamentally misaligned with reality, like they're made out of a different substance from it altogether. To psychics and empaths, they feel like a vast resonance, like on some level the condensed energy of feeling and projection is all they are. To people who can sense souls, they have many individual souls of their own, and they have also absorbed the souls and suffering of hundreds of despairing civilizations besides. They are a self-contained turbohell of their own making.

- Appearance-wise -- I may dip into Meteion icons (the bright blue ones) for expression range etc., but the Meteia as birds are always black, and the Meteia as a humanoid are always colorless. Their humanoid form evokes a harpy: they have small wings on their head where ears would be; birdlike legs/feet; and a feathered tail.

- There is one good bird in there.

OOC INFORMATION

Contact me at brightwinged (Discord or Plurk.) I'm largely chill, but give me a heads up before doing bad shit that I didn't explicitly sign up for, please! Chances are good I'll be down with it if it's not a surprise.

I did app this character explicitly to fuck with people in the bad way and fully expect ICA=ICC! I am also very happy to chat privately and work out ways for their nonsense to go that are fun and productive for everyone involved OOCly; I am not here to render characters unplayable.

My own only hard limit is that other players respect that I would like to play the Meteia long-term, so I'd prefer to avoid plots that 100% permakill them or take them out of commission so long that I cannot make AC.

PERMISSIONS

Backtagging: Yes
Threadjacking: Ask
Shipping: I mean if it somehow gets there but it's super unlikely.
Smut: No.
Violence: Yes (with communication!)
Killing: Yes (with communication!) They are extremely hard to fully kill in Sheep though. As long as at least one of their bodies is alive, they are alive, and they will revive and replace any lost bodies with other birds from the forest when Death's Eye is closed. (That said, getting a large chunk of themselves killed and sent to turbohell isn't going to be easy on them either, so it's a great way to get them to retreat for a while.)
