Applicable Key: TheRuffKnight
Character Name: Cassiopeia
Request Type: Appearance
Request Details:
This application is a separate request from one long prior, regarding the playing of a legitimate youkai companion to an accomplice's character. This request is more of a spin on said application, in that I am asking to play the illegitimate youkai companion to an accomplice's character. A short explanation in an effort to avoid any extraneous or excessively revealing details is that the character is intended to be a papillion posing under the delusion that they are a non-summoner's youkai companion, supported by an illusion that renders them apparent as a youkai to their partner.
The illusion would not be without its faults. If the character were to be in an unconscious state, focus would not be held to upkeep the character's appearance. Likewise, depending on the potency of isesipian involvement, magic could in fact tamper with the strength of the illusion.
I am not immediately prone to sharing the full details of character story for the sake that said story would be a source of future development (layman's terms: spoilers), but I am happy to provide the reasoning and rationalization for this character's delusion and state of being if it becomes necessary for this forum post - in thread or in private discussion - I will say that there are rationalizations in place and it is not merely the character acting for giggles.
Supporting Lore:
> Papillions are known to struggle with damaged psyches as a consequence of their affliction, although I do have other IC rationalizations I am open to discuss for the specifics of this request.
> Papillions are also known for their propensity for illusion. I also understand that in the case of their wings, one's perception of the wings is a direct affect on just how real they are. That's separate though, and I don't necessarily intend to blur the line too much.
