CHARACTER INFO

Character: Miriam
Canon: Bloodstained: RotN, post-game
Armada: Paladin

About: Application!
Miriam's a young woman who's seen and been through some shit, but hasn't lost her kindness or sense of justice. Sure, she might be full of demonic rocks, but she's using that power to do good things. She wants to be helpful and prove that she's still human, let her be helpful!!

Those roses and petals on her aren't tattoos; they're part of a cursed crystal that lets Miriam use said phenomenal demonic power, but will eventually turn her into a crystal statue and kill her, or corrupt her mind and delete her sense of self and free will. Either or. The curse's spread is currently halted, but using her power too much or absorbing too many Shards (fragments of a demon's power) at once could cause it to start advancing again. So Miriam's in a constant balancing act of needing to use her powers to best help others but not so much that she crystalizes. No pressure.

Abilities: For canon ones, she's got all the ridiculously OP abilities of an endgame Castlevania protagonist—which she's usually fairly mindful about using, with such severe consequences for their overuse. She can do so much shit, though.


PLANS

General: Though she's still on rather chilly terms with the Paladins' leadership, Miriam's helpful nature tends to lead her to volunteering herself everywhere, which would be an easy way for her to meet people. Someone to help remind her to take a break occasionally would also be welcome.

Miriam has also joined the Avalanche crew recently! She'd like to get to know the others better.

MANTA Board: As always, Miriam's available to protect squishier or noncombatant characters if they need to go someone dangerous. She has magic and a Cool Sword.

Event: I'll be putting a TL up on the Garuda event post, and tagging out on the open log.

For the former, while fighting off an Egis she'll likely absorb a Shard (tl;dr a fragment of power), which is an, uh, dramatic process where a giant crystal spike stabs her in the chest. But it's fine, It Definitely Doesn't Hurt. I'll be keeping that in a separate prompt or bringing it up in other threads by request, since it's not for everyone and probably going to raise some questions.

For the event log, Miriam will mostly be helping repair and recovery and thus could still plausibly end up anywhere, including the Mermaid AU Pearlhaven. She'll be a fancy crystal shark.

CR Dreams: Yes.

Actual answer: I'd love for her to make deep enough connections with people she can actually address the all the issues she's left unaddressed, from the deaths of her friends to her curse and the existential humanity questions it reflects.

For less serious matters, Miriam also hasn't used her tattoo magic much, so anyone who can offer tutelage there would be someone she'd like to talk to.
