Odette is, in simple terms, likely the most manipulative psychopath you'll ever come across in your lifetime. She serves as the top member of her gang, second only to Arlynn herself, making her the co-leader of the HOLiCs. She's among the most deceptive of people in the entire asylum, given her dark nature, which is really saying something. And you know all that torture she adores inflicting upon hapless victims of her well-spun machinations? Yes, well, if you're unlucky enough to piss her off, you may just find yourself in a frightening realistic simulation of your worst nightmare, lovingly woven together by yours truly. Odette gives off the air of being the sweetest, most gentle person to have graced the entire planet, making her quite adept at fooling even the most perceptive of people. The intelligent ones know better than to trust her deceptive smiles and mock-gentle eyes, though—and with good reason.

Ah, but of course—Odette has plenty of those. Her seemingly gentle nature automatically draws people to her, as if there is a strange, inexplicable lure. The nineteen-year old does have some "friends." Many of them will be of the belief that Odette is their genuine friend, even when that is not the case. Most of these people will be other HOLiC members—sadly enough, she sees most of her fellow gang members as expendable pawns, readily thrown away when their usefulness is lost. For the most part, she is a cautious ally of most people, willing to help, but equally willing to take back far more than she gives. She'll also have many acquaintances, more so than friends, so if you don't mind your character taking on the role of an acquaintance, feel free to do so. The majority of other HOLiCs can fill in this role, with the occasional ANTi-HOLiC. Again, recall that Odette is the type who exploits people and twists situations to her advantage. She isn't afraid of exploiting even those on the opposing side for her own gain.

However, Odette will also have something she will refer to as her "inner circle," which will consist of people (preferably about two) whom she actually kind of trusts. They will absolutely have to be HOLiCs (unless you can give me a good reason as to why they're an ANTi-HOLiC) and should generally be around her age (which means those who are older or younger than her by more than two years are out). Odette is actually precariously close to snapping and succumbing to insanity—the things she does are already enough to label her as insane. These people are the ones she can semi-relax around; they keep her grounded and stable. This means that the two (or fewer; I'll decide soon enough) or so people in her inner circle must have personalities that can somehow prove compatible with hers, to an extent. They can be male or female, but you'll need to give a really good reason as to why they may be in her inner circle. ;D So srsly. BE WARNED, you must meet my Odette's expectations. Or rise above them. Ahahaha.

Generally speaking, ANTi-HOLiCs will fit into this role—most of them are suspicious about her motives, generally uneasy about her, or outright hate her. Mostly the last one. Odette isn't afraid to display actual animosity against her more well-known enemies. She has a good sense of control over her temper, though, which means there won't be that much actual fighting. (Don't worry, though. There'll still be fighting in more serious cases.) Most of the time, being lazy, she prefers using blackmail, torture, and other similarly dirty methods of getting her way. Odette isn't boring during battle though—as delicate as she seems, she's far more formidable than she looks. She'll also have plenty of enemies though, so, hell, if you don't know what your character is to Odette, he or she can always be an enemy. xD She's the co-leader of the ANTi-HOLiCs, too—that's bound to already warrant a crapload of hatred from the opposing gang. So, chyeah. BRING ON THE ENEMEHZ. >8D

Given what Odette went through during her childhood (see her history for moar info), she is rather cautious when it comes to who she has flings with. Therefore, yes, she may have flings at times, but only with people who prove that they're tolerable to an extent. Her high position, "personality," and appearance tend to attract many people's interest, but she's actually rather picky. Either gender is fine; she has no particular preference, but the person must interest her in some fashion. It'll really depend. xD Odette can, true to her acting skills, be rather affectionate and sweet at times, so chyeah. As for an actual relationship... You'll just need to pitch in your ideas before I can say anything for sure. :\

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

it's like, 5:30 am. if you don't understand any of this nonsense then just hit me up later (well, actually, saturday) and i'll er, explain it somehow. xD

so, ffft. i'm thinking that arlynn, you know, being the leader would have information about the background's of people but doesn't really know anything, y'know? like you do know some but then you don't; arlynn would probably know of all the killing and torture and stuff but the finer details that were mention in odette's history (like the raep/molestion for example) she wouldn't know. knowing what she does, she might let odette have her fun when miss leader here decides to throw one of her misbehaving gang lackey's into the isolation cell (think solitary confinement).

as leader, arlynn'll have to have some but not fully trust people, though for odette she trusts her just a smidge more than anyone else. given that arlynn is typically very cold, very indifferent, and isolates herself from everyone else a lot, odette would be the equilvalent to like, i don't know, a ray of hope or something. that's probably a weird way to say it but arlynn would soften up slowly and slightly warm up to her -- well, and odette can always be that little lying bitch or something or whatever. but considering that odette is quite the deceptionist, if she really was just playing around with arlynn she'd be really sad and angsty (and we all know we like rea's sudden outburst of random angst!pictures).

you know rea loves mikuluka. arlynn does too! probably can't think of how it started but arlynn's a lesbian; but she keeps it as her own dirty little secret and doesn't really want to let anyone know. but being the awesome and influenced mikuluka fan that she is, she's quite infatuated with odette. which sort of goes with how she may warm up to her co-leader slowly. arlynn can actually be very affection and very compassionate, she just doesn't really know when and how to be so. and she has problems restraining herself if from really just grabbing odette and hugging her to death. she doesn't want to be alone for her entire life (yet she isolates herself) so if she liked someone she'd be the type to just sort of "mug" them in a way. xD i don't really know how to explain it.

and after nat makes her amazing mysterious!kaito! character of her's, we can go a bit more into that romance part. >3> because that's the part where i have the most fun in. :'D but yeah, hit me up later and stuff for ideas and crap. sorry for the lameness that is my brain and plotting ideas. /shot

[victor riddle]

victor & odette

i said i wanted to plot and RP with you, didn't i? well here i am. like a parasite, here to latch on and suck your blood. |: but i suppose i'll be doing plenty of plotting with you and rea in the near future as well, since i'll be bringing in my ohsomysterious!kaito character. mm. that'll be fun~ but i also have victor here in the time being. he's a narcissistic sociopath with a god-complex; a manipulative murderer who will often wear a charismatic smile despite his dark intentions. he loves to control and dominate things and, yes, he's something of a sex-addict. people with antisocial personality disorder often display impulsive, promiscuous behavior and he's one of those sorts. but he's also quite unbalanced and can become enraged at the drop of a hat should certain buttons be pressed just right. he even contradicts himself now and then. he thinks rapists are pathetic because they have to force someone into it to get laid, but he's also something of a rapist himself whenever he's caught in one of his violent moodswings. rape, after all, isn't about the sex. it's about control. and, yes, i know odette has a messed up past with rape and molestation, so she probably wouldn't be too fond of him if she was aware of his predatory behavior concerning sex and whatnot. then again, he doesn't go around flaunting this freely because, as i've said, he thinks rapists are pathetic, sad, incompetent men, as though unaware of his own urges to force himself on someone. so yeah. he's a weird one. lol.

as for his relations with odette... hmm... i've been thinking on it and i'm pretty sure he'd find her quite amusing. being the calculating sociopath that he is, he'll probably pick up on her deceptive nature and her own psychopathic tendencies. after all, he prides himself on reading people to find a weakness he can later exploit. also, she's younger and she's pretty... vic might lust for her now and then, though he probably wouldn't be too forward about this. ha. and i've just had a funny idea. since vic is an ambitious, controlling git, he's often considered trying to dispose of arlynn so he can lead the HOLiCs. not that he actually wants to lead them, exactly. he just wants the power and the control. in any case, i wouldn't be surprised if he makes his hidden motivations more public and he's thrown in solitary confinement. either that or he just disobeys arlynn. he's not very good at listening to "superiors" because he believes he is the superior, regardless of rank. anyway, i noticed what rea mentioned about odette maybe having "fun" with those in the isolation cell. victor is a sadomasochist. he'd get a real kick out of torture. again, dunno if that'll ever happen, but if it does it'd be pretty fun/amusing.

well, i think i've rambled long enough about pointless nonsense. if i come up with anything better, i'll let you know. and if you've got any ideas, just throw 'em out there. i'm pretty much up for anything. though, yes, i know my mysterious!kaito character will also get plenty of plotting with you, so i'll try not to be greedy. but yeah, i rarely have good ideas. plotting's never been my forte unless i've had one stuck in my mind for ages and ages. /sigh

Oh my. xD Five-thirty in the morning is way early. DX

Yeah, that'd make sense, since Arlynn is the leader. She should have access to a wide array of information, at least. Ahaha, blackmail ftw. I like the idea of her letting Odette have fun with any misbehaving gang members who're thrown in the isolation cells. > There's a note of finality if Odette's the one who's screwing with their heads, though—for the most part, I'd say she'd end up killing them in the end after a using a series of torture methods. Fwahahaha. Well, at least it gives moar reason for people to not get on either Arlynn's or Odette's bad sides. xD

Given that Arlynn'd trust Odette more than most other people and their personalities don't entirely clash, I think Odette could perhaps consider Arlynn as one of the people in that "inner circle" of hers. [/shot] As epic as angst!pictures are, angsty!Arlynn sounds very depressing. xD So, I was thinking perhaps Odette wouldn't be a total backstabbing bitch to Arlynn, at least, and that she reciprocates her trust to a degree; Odette'll probably be more wary of Arlynn than Arlynn is of her. But maybeh Odette can care about Arlynn enough to not be totally evil and manipulative towards her.

Ohhhh, Himitsu likes MikuLuka, too~ <3 Odette is bisexual, so she isn't particularly concerned with gender issues. However, given her experience with pedophiles men, there are times when she's more inclined towards other girls. Likewise, I was hoping that Odette could perhaps warm up to Arlynn moar, too. If you're okay with the inner circle thing, then I was actually thinking of a silleh and phailtastic plot where Odette keeps assuring herself that Arlynn is more of a friend than anything else, but ultimately ends up entertaining thoughts of something moar. Odette's a bit arrogant—she'd very much like having someone adore her consistently. But she's mentally stable orz, and her lack of experience with an actual decent relationship can lead to much misunderstanding and angst. I'm afraid I'm too much of a MikuLuka fan to not suggest something about a lasting relationship OTL. That, and I'm too much of a sucker for romance to pass this up, ahaha.

Ooh, we can indeed delve into the romance plot moar once Nat's mysterious!Kaito dude is here. THREESOME ROFLCOPTER. Don't worry over lameness—the corniness of my ideas is enough to make your lameness look negligible.

Bawww, scary parasite lady. xD Kidding. Yes, we're eagerly awaiting the arrival of your ohsomysterious!Kaito dude. Because he will surely be epic. xD Yeah, I'd agree—Odette wouldn't be so keen on any form of interaction with Victor if she knew what he did. |: However, she's not omnipotent, and her information network isn't capable of digging up everything on people. xD D'awww, no blackmail on Victor, then.

Yeah, that's understandable, given that they're both fairly psychopathic and sadistic, which actually makes them rather similar. xD I'd say Odette would pick up on some of Victor's nature, too, except rather than be amused, she's more of the type to be cautious of him. So, she'll probably seem perfectly normal around him, but inwardly she'll be paranoid and wondering what his motives are—she understands that Victor is someone who could be classified as potentially dangerous to her...somehow. |: I can't say that Odette will definitely reciprocate this lust—he's older than her by a few years, and even though that isn't saying too much, she's too paranoid about men who are older than her. Side-effect of the molestation thing in her history. So, even if Victor's not that much older, Odette will be wary around him. And probably somewhat unnerved. Go dangerous!Victor. [/shot] But she will probably be somewhat fascinated by him as well, namely because she has a liking for psychology and whatnot. She'd want to know how people like him think—and whether his trains of thought are similar to hers, to see if she is as irregular among sociopaths as she supposedly is. Hahaha, in the event that Odette ever ended up torturing him, I can't say it'll be pretty. |: She and her obsession with Iron Maiden contraptions...but seeing as Victor is epic intrigues her to an extent, Odette probably wouldn't kill him. Just maybe kind of maim him. xD [/shot]

[cécile alabaster]

❝ odette/cécile ❞

[/color][/FONT][/center]

Everyone wants some of Odette, ohohoho. Cécile and her will definitely have much animosity between one another. It's totally given. They would clash horribly against one another, considering their personalities, beliefs, and, well, a whole bunch other stuff. Mostly because of which side their on. She's the leader of the ANTi-HOLiCs and Odette's the co-leader of the HOLiCs. I can totally imagine them going at each other, spitting all kinds of insults at one another and just, pretty much, making their hate for one another widely known.

So, like, Cécile is obsessed with Arlynn in a very unhealthy way. She's caught between hating her sister and wanting her to pay attention to only her and not some other chick. Bring on the animosity, the hatred! Enemies are what keep Cécile thriving, after all. Unlike Nat and Rea, I don't have some elaborate plot in mind, since their relationship would probably be straight-forward and pretty simple. Hatehatehate. And more hate.

If you have any idea on how to 'flesh out' their hatred for one another, just tell me~ Maybe Odette and Cécile clashed in some really horrible way when Odette first arrived at the Alabaster House and then the situation got a bit outta hand and bloody. Haha, I really have no idea.

[arlynn alabaster]

❝ arlynn & odette ❞
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

ohohoho. blackmail ftw indeed. arlynn isn't very merciful when it comes to those who misbehave and stuff when she's around and causing more problems for everyone else (especially her since she has to deal with the aftermath of certain situations) and she would want for the person to have a proper punishment. death seems quite right for her so~ off they go to odette, and maybe arlynn might drop down once in a while to get a good sneer out of things. she likes to see others in pain, but not quite as much as odette. though somewhere in her head, arlynn may have something like 'i'm glad it isn't me down here being punished' since she's afraid of death and considering what odette can do, she could be rather scared of the other female too. death is a very scary thing for arlynn when it's about her dying rather than others dying. she's not afraid of killing, but when she's the one being killed it's all hysterics from there. from that, this might be the reason why arlynn wouldn't trust her to a greater extent but enough to work well with her.

i don't mind arlynn being part of that little "inner circle" of her's, actually. and if anything, arlynn would certainly be someone who adored odette constantly. if they were thrown into a regular life that has nothing to do with asylums and gangs and insanity and pfft -- arlynn would be the one to just end up being a bit too clingy for liking. her fear of being alone forever just kind of makes her very persistent with being the people she truly cares about but a bit posessive. so she can, i guess, be a bit overbearing. and i'm very much liking that plot. they can have some awkward moments here and there, and arlynn can be agonizing over the silly things; she's insecure with her sexuality as you know, most people think that it's wrong and something that only lasts for a while and should be something you grow up from and arlynn is very self-conscious, so these types of things affect her in some way. so she may be a bit submissive if they actually ended up together but eventually i think she might become a bit more bold/agressive open with the fact that she likes girls and stuff. i don't know. >o> but i'm too much of a romantic to pass this up, either. pffft.

i guess i can make a thread somewhere for us, if you'd like. i don't really mind X:

[/color][/font]

[/center]

Oh, indeedly. ;D Odette is loved, whoo. 8D I has successfully brainwashed you all, it seems. Yeah, definitely. I'd agree with the animosity thing—given that Cécile is the leader of the opposing gang and Odette is co-leader of the HOLiCs, they're going to clash magnificently, especially since the former despises everything to do with HOLiCs and the latter would probably get pissed off all the time by the former's personality. Widely known hate? OHYES. It would make perfect sense, ahahaha.

That's perfectly fine—more simplistic plots are nice, too. 8D My brain needs a break from all the extravagant and complex ones sometimes, anyhow. Random hardcore and straightforward hate is love. (Ahahaha.) It'll do perfectly. 8D

Hrm...it's kind of late and my brain is dead, but I have a bit of an idea... So, perhaps, being the manipulative and deceptive bitch she is, Odette kept a low profile in the aslyum and pretended to join the ANTi-HOLiCs gang when she first arrived, and secretly did things for the HOLiC gang behind Cécile's back. Then, because of her machinations, the HOLiCs won a particularly gruesome fight against the ANTi-HOLiCs because Odette went and relayed strategies and plans to the opposing gang. After turning traitor, Odette privately revealed her actual affiliation with the HOLiCs to Cécile (Cécile seems like the type who wouldn't want people to know if she had been tricked or whatever, so maybe this exchange remained private? [/brick'd]) and quickly climbed the ranks through moar treachery and evilness, automatically making Cécile despise her and want to stab her to death. I'm not sure if this'd be a good plot, but it was an idea. xD If you don't like it, feel free to pitch in another idea. xD Most of the time, I'm pretty bad at coming up with plots, actually. [/shot]

[/center]

Ahahaha, and then Odette could put on even moar of a show during the times Arlynn actually does drop by during torture sessions. Moar Iron Maiden usage ftw. And maybe some other medieval torture weapon use. Yeah, I can see Odette being more sadistic than Arlynn—Arlynn probably has more of a heart than Odette ever will. xD Ohohoho, that'd be an interesting combination: fear and attraction? Interesting. xD I don't think the fear would be entirely reciprocated, though; Odette isn't the type to fear too many things because she knows it'll make her irrational, and she doesn't fear death as much as Arlynn does. Of course, she's scared of it like most other people, but not that much. (Actually, she's moar scared of going through something raep-esque or similar again, ahaha.) That sounds good—the setting is an asylum, after all. I think people would be hard-pressed to find people who actually trust other people, since everyone's so epically messed up in the head. [/shot]

Oh, yay. 8D And Odette, being arrogant to an extent, can revel in that adoration. xD It may be a while before she actually starts seeing Arlynn in a actual romantic light, though—their relationship will probably develop gradually. I can't see it as a really quick-moving thing at all. DX Maybe because they're both messed up, especially Odette, who's almost insane, roflcopter. When she realizes she has actual feelings for Arlynn, Odette would probably be kind of curious about it all because she like Arlynn and Cécile's psycho!dad is fascinated with psychology. And she'd probably investigate moar in the name of experimentation at first, thinking it won't impact her too much in the long-run, even if the attraction pushes her out of her comfort zone. And then she'd probably realize that there are long-term effects later on when she discovers how lasting her feelings for Arlynn actually are. Ahahaha, Odette is more open with her sexuality within the ranks of the HOLiCs since she's more secure with her sexuality than Arlynn is. She'd probably have fun teasing Arlynn a little, too, to get her to open up more and amuse herself. That sounds good. 8D I think Odette would probably like Arlynn's submissiveness, since it puts her in a position of greater control, but then again, when Arlynn gets more aggressive/bold/open, they might end up fighting over who gets to top. Roflcopter. Whoo for hopeless romantics. xD

Ahaha, go right ahead. 8D My brain has been going bleeehhh recently though, so don't be surprised if stuff that I write turns out all jumbled and crappy and afjdsklz;flzlc. DX

i think plots like this are better if they happen gradually; it makes it more fun since there's opportunities for people to interfere and stuff and ooooh. i'm getting really excited about this xD and not just because i'm getting some miku/luka action, fffft. fighting for dominance sounds something they would do; since arlynn is competitive and doesn't like to lose. though i do like to see at how odette would be when submissive arlynn comes about and how arlynn may act when she tops because i've read too many mikuluka comic strips and fanfics and have been influenced by them. e-e;

i can start a thread now, then~ might be up later, depending on how distracted i get. xD

Ahahaha, chyeah, definitely. I can imagine other people trying to interfere as well. Ohoho, yes, same. In contrast to Arlynn, Odette isn't necessarily competitive, but she likes the feeling of being in control, which leads to her try dominating most some of her partners. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that turns out. Actually, I haven't read much Vocaloid fanfiction in... like, ever.
