Character Name: Death the Kid
Canon: Soul Eater
Game Transplant: Snowblind
Original App: Boom there is an app here
Game Summary: Snowblind in my interpretation is a survival horror game set in post-apocalyptic Alaska. Characters brought in are stripped of any powers (except “flavor” abilities). If they are inhuman, like Kid, they are thrust into a human body that looks like theirs. Nanomachines are in their blood, which thankfully keeps them alive…but also causes significant poisoning symptoms, and has no known cure. The town is known to frequently have events that result in hallucinations, injuries, deaths and revivals, and complete disorientation. And that doesn’t even mention the part that it might be a computer simulation. Sort of.

How long was your character in Game: 180 days IC/17 months OOC
History of Character in their Game: Kid arrived in Norfinbury in the Downtown Area. And almost immediately upon arrival, he is involved in the beautiful dreamer event, during which he sees his Weapon partners killed. Over, and over, and over. After this event, he hears them yelling for help for days, and it’s like this that he and Stein cross paths. He travels with Stein for quite some time, despite various happenings around the town.
During emergency repairs, all of those in Norfinbury above ground experience severe radiation poisoning, the symptoms of which advanced very quickly. Thankfully, they were spared death.
On day 153 Stein is killed by an anomaly that looks very much like a malformed version of Lord Death. Kid barely makes it inside. He is in fact tricked into being dragged in so that he doesn’t die of exposure overnight by turning back to look for the professor. Despite being a bit afraid to travel alone, Kid doesn’t stay with those who found him—he slips off again quickly. And when Stein revives, it is immediately into madness and the chaos of distorted communication. In a panic, Kid actually risks being locked out again to find him. He’s again stopped.
Reunited with Stein and traveling with him as well as Dr. Watson, they come across Undertaker. This meeting is fairly uneventful in the sense that there isn’t much that happens, however Kid’s relationship with Undertaker becomes important so it’s worth noting.
On days 179 and 180, Stein has to have surgery to amputate frostbitten fingers. Immediately thereafter comes one of Kid’s most formative events in Snowblind. Late on day day 180, as a result of his own MN poisoning-induced mania, Stein knocked out, sedated, and cut out the eyes of two people...one was Watson, and the other was Kid. Kid booked it, and he spends pretty much the remainder of his time in Norfinbury deliberately avoiding Stein.
Coinciding with the makeshift vivisection on day 181 is the event “Lavender’s Blue”. The town is split into two factions: prophets, and sinners. Those with glowing eyes are the sinners; those with squiggly eyes are the prophets. The prophets have an insatiable desire to kill the sinners. Kid has glowing eyes, he does not survive the colloquially known “murder night”, and that shouldn’t be a surprise.
The following morning, everyone who is killed during the murder spree revives as if nothing had happened—with memories intact. Kid is immensely guilty for what happened to Dr. Watson, and feels personally responsible for the doctor’s injury. He’ll refer to it again in the future as a reason why he won’t ask for medical treatment from him, both directly and indirectly, and he doesn’t let Watson provide any medical treatment on day 182 either.
What he does do, however, is seek out the help of a nurse he noticed on the network, Claire. He does this out of desperation—he has a gaping eye wound that he can’t manage on his own. Stubborn, yes, but not entirely stupid. They meet on day 185 at the hospital. She puts some sutures in, and they travel together for a few days until she is killed by an anomaly.
The Lavender’s Green event is an exercise is terrifying futility for Kid. The entire town is trapped in a maze-like structure on days 193-194. While nothing historically significant happens for him during these days, it’s a serious reminder of how cripplingly sick he is.
Kid spends a brief time after Lavender’s Green traveling with Undertaker, until the man dies by anomaly. This is the first time he really begins to think that people traveling with him alone leads to their death.
From Day 203 to 229, Kid literally just meanders Norfinbury and tries not to die. Which is a feat for someone as sick and overwhelmed as he is. He gets involved in the nonsense around town, and runs into other travelers, as well as touches base with newcomers.
On day 229 he runs into Stein again, and they travel together without issue. This actually stems from something Stein chooses to do with the help of Watson--having the implant removed from his skull. Kid had attempted to thwart this procedure, but it didn’t help. Stein also convinced the Administrator to alter his violent impulses. Despite all of this, the initial meetup isn’t without stress. Just coming across Stein is immensely stressful for Kid, and when Stein does a physical exam (he is the doctor from the Academy, after all…) Kid doesn’t tolerate the assessment of his empty eye socket well. Similarly, he isn’t in a place where he’s valuing his life highly, and this fact is really starting to show.
On the night of 235, Kid has a blood transfusion, the only known treatment for MN poisoning. He gets a few blessed days reprieve of his symptoms.
Stein dies for good around day 250, and Marie around day 255.
So Kid does what any rational person would. He volunteers for a morgue experiment that is suicide. He knows it’s suicide from the beginning, and he does it anyway.
Content warning for this paragraph: gore, surgery w/o consent, skinning, mutilation, eye horror, dislocation/bone breaking, torture. During the Noisy Black event, Kid is brainwashed into believing he is a follower of the Prophet and performs violent surgical procedures on two people without their consent. The procedures are nothing but torture. As the event progresses, there is an opportunity for him to provide some medication to relieve the discomfort from surgery, and the brainwashed cultists do attempt to do whatever they can to ameliorate the things they’ve done. Still, this event overall was a very formative event for Kid and really broke him in a way that many others did not. He is a god of order, and this is precisely the sort of thing he is so against. This kind of disregard for human life is exactly the sort of thing he can’t stand for, and he just participated in it willingly. The fact that he was brainwashed is completely irrelevant to him. It happened and he did it. It’s been a steep downward spiral for him since Noisy Black.
He travels with Enoch, Beckett, Quark and a few others, until he is killed by an anomaly himself.
This brings us to when he revives on day 289, blind in the morgue of the hospital. He travels with Mycroft, Dorian and Ecks from here on.
On day 294, in the middle of the night and while everyone in the town is under the belief that a) their home has met the “bad end” because they are here and b) they have been in Norfinbury for a “very long time”, Kid wakes to find that Ecks murdered Mycroft.
This is the point in game I’m pulling him from!


How did they change from their canon personality wise (Please explain what caused it to happen?) Canonly, Kid is extremely anxious. He’s known to be near-cripplingly obsessive-compulsive, but he has a means to “control” his world around him at home. In Norfinbury there is no control to be found anywhere. He can’t even be sure he’s in his own body, that he’s himself, and the overwhelming anxiety is manifesting in several ways. He’s an awful eater. I always gloss over it because it’s not appealing to talk about, but he will sheepishly admit that he’s nauseated or feels sick when he eats. It typically leads to him skipping food altogether, as he doesn’t particularly like throwing up.
He’s convinced himself that traveling with others—in particular, traveling alone with others—leads to their death. While this has worn off somewhat, this is a direct result of how many times that happened. In total, it happened six times: Stein, Claire, Undertaker, Frisk, Stein again, and Marie. As such, he traveled alone for a lot of his tenure in Norfinbury. More than once, he panics and admits to it too.
One other important change is that he’s learned that his anxiety and obsessions aren’t just odd, but an actual disorder that can have treatment. Mental health in the Soul Eater canon is basically a joke, and Kid is actually ’normal for his age and development’. But, Watson helps him identify it as something that has treatment. Because of the limitations in Norfinbury, this doesn’t go far, but just the knowledge that someone understands and that Kid has heard someone tell him that he isn’t just crazy was very impactful. Watson is one of the very few people Kid actually trusted in town.
As a result of Stein’s impromptu vivisection, Kid is absolutely terrified of things near his face and in particular by his eye.
After Noisy Black, Kid is struggling with a lot of guilt. He basically tortured and maimed two people. While he understands that he was brainwashed, and he wouldn’t put blame on those that were also brainwashed, he holds himself to a different standard (and without an understanding of the consequence of saying that if person A is guilty but person B is not and they have both done identical things, then how can one be guilty and not the other). What he participated in during Noisy Black is everything he stands against. The sanctity of human life and protecting of human souls is his purpose. That is why he exists. And yet he was easily brainwashed and forced into tormenting two people, with no control over his mind or body. He’s still having nightmares and overwhelming guilt after the event.

How did they change from their canon physically (Please explain what caused it to happen?): So. He’s human now. What is human, how do human? Kid isn’t human, and he doesn’t quite know how to manage. Keeping his hands warm? Making sure he eats? Getting enough sleep? All of these were nice when he was home, but they were far from mandatory. In Norfinbury, now they were mandatory. Because he’s human.
Kid has suffered severe MN poisoning, and he’s been sick for the majority of his stay. He moves like someone suffering severe pain--because he is. Despite doing his best to manage on his own, he’s caught the attention of the many Norfinbury healthcare providers…and they’ve offered plenty of instruction. Despite all the attention he’s gotten from the various doctors and nurses around town, he still really isn’t good at not being nearly dead. It is to the point where, when it came down to Kid desperately needing a transfusion and a donor being available, Stein reached out to Watson and despite the two being on terrible terms, they agreed to risk nearly crossing paths for the transfusion.
His level of anxiety has lead to significant weight loss. He has little appetite, and when he does eat he’s just as likely to end up nauseated or vomiting as he is to keep the food down. The fact that the MN poisoning has resulted in such severe coughing doesn’t help, either. When he’s pressed on the issue, he will sheepishly mention it, but usually he avoids the issue. By the time he’d be arriving in the Meadous, he’s nearly falling out of his clothes, and he was not large to begin with.
He has a fairly significant scar over his right eye, from where stitches had been placed and then left for far too long. The other portion of the scar is, of course, from where Stein had surgically removed his eye.
Because he’ll be coming on the tail-end of a revival, he’s currently blind. It’s a result of the reanimation process--every death results in a death price and his price this time was his sight.
Also. Human.
Powers: None. Not one. He’s lost all access to any power he may have had, though the actual list is here. Though to be fair, he has the “flavor” ability of the stripes in his hair not being able to be dyed, and his irises are faintly luminescent.
Possessions: A black wool coat, white button-up shirt, a white undershirt, black suit jacket, black slacks, suspenders, black shoes, and socks--all of which have seen much better days. A Death City caricature broach. A relatively beaten up black backpack. The one “regained” item that ever happened: his black reaper cloak and the skull-shaped mask that goes with it. About five days worth of rations. Two cloth napkins, a nearly-empty bottle of cough syrup, and a bottle of ibuprofen that’s got just a handful of pills left.

Please provide three samples from your previous game, at least one will have to be third person with context:
Sample One: Undertaker was Death part one Undertaker was Death part two; chose these two because Kid’s cr with Undertaker was some of my favorite and these two conversations were great
Sample Two: Last comment of this thread is actually the sample I want to use. This event had static distorting conversations and additional character-specific things happening (Kid for example was seeing “souls”). It’s the only time in his entire stay in Norfinbury that Kid attempts to emulate his father so much, and it goes terribly.
Sample Three: A conversation with Kesara, who I really wish I’d gotten the chance to have more cr with!

Notes: I have loads more samples in this app? Basically any link in the app is to some thread I’ve done, and I had a hard time choosing threads for my samples? I’m not sure what to tell you here ;-;
