Tragic Role - Maha

tortured love interest

you're so hot. sorry about the horrors. you're the kind of person people immediately notice. whether you have a distinct style, are more outgoing, or are just plain beautiful, you make an impression. people usually feel the need to protect you, which probably frustrates you to no end. you're not weak! you're not fragile! you're not helpless! but the people in your life tend to disagree. maybe it's your lover, the protagonist, trying to keep you out of their own turmoil. maybe it's someone responsible for you in some way, keeping you away from your lover, while they head down an increasingly dark path. regardless, all you really want is a sense of autonomy! unfortunately, you're very likely to die before that happens. the audience will be so caught up in the grief your death causes the protagonist that they forget to grieve you as a person. you deserved better, but unfortunately this is not your story. maybe it should have been.

rapport — tatsuya kitani.

In the tranquil solitude I wished for a quiet end I felt sad for something inside me that was slowly going cold But it didn’t matter To love someone and to want to be loved It means that there is an equal amount of pain involved That’s why I kept my heart closed But now you have entered deep into it

song of lamentation — kokia.

Every time I tried to protect something Someone was sacrificed Wondering what we’ve been fighting for My heart lamented in silence

I thought that as long as I live, I’d be fine Until something I treasure was taken away from me I felt like I could hear the sound of my heart breaking Is it okay to go on like this?

truth — arashi.

I can’t return (after the tears that fell) Memories swirling (the colors of freezing tears) At the end of this world where everything was taken away

No matter what kind of ending I create, my heart remains a mystery Like the darkness that approaches the truth No matter what kind of world I create, I can’t see tomorrow Like a lily, pure and untainted My wishes remain transparent

weight of the world (japanese) — keiichi okabe ft. marina kawano.

This is my curse The depth of the sins I’ve committed Even with my corrupted soul I’ll still redeem your wish

This is my curse The pain of killing a promise With the final dream I threw away I’ll still atone for your wish

18. Has your OC ever had a prophecy made about them? Was it a big deal or did they ignore it? Was it straightforward or cryptic? Did it ever come to pass or did they circumvent it?

(GET TO KNOW THE OC ASKS — for Maha!)

Well, no such thing as a 'prophecy', per se, but there are two things about Maha that are somewhat similar.

The first is that she believes she has been cursed by Nymeia. Blessed and cursed, actually. She is extraordinarily lucky at times, and then extremely unlucky at others. It makes her life pretty chaotic and she hates it, but at the same time, sometimes it's fun for her. With her taking as many risks as she does, she can't help but pay at least some lip-service to the goddess, and believes this has attracted her ire over the course of time.

The second is that Maha possesses the Echo. She doesn't know why or what it's fully capable of (as she doesn't have access to avenues of knowledge that the WoL does) but she takes it in stride as just another vehicle for divination. IIRC the Echo is different for everyone; for Maha, it allows her to peer into the future rather than the past, and the thing that triggers it the most is when a promise or declaration of duty is made and she's able to witness its outcome, to an extent.

What Type Of Villain Are You: Oli Edition

Then Let Me Be Evil

You never wanted to hurt anyone, but the world never gave you a choice. You did the best you could with what you had, but every innocent mistake you made was held against you when it counted, every crossroads led you down the wrong path no matter which way you went. No matter what you did, the odds were stacked against you. It wasn't fair, and you are sick and tired of being told what a monster you are for things out of your control. Well, fine. They want a monster? YOU'LL GIVE THEM A MONSTER!

OK. Look, I wouldn't call it inaccurate, that's all I'm saying c': I am pretty late to getting around to this one... So... Leaving this as an
