character updates
| It's been 54 IC days since Vivarium has opened. With such limited resources and all these traps, characters have certainly changed over time, whether it's physically or mentally. So, this post will come in handy to track all that down! It's both for yourself and for others to see where your character is, especially if they look different than when they've first arrived. Just copy-paste the form below and then comment around, if you please! |
words words words
ORIGINAL: How did they look before arriving here? What were they like?
Heiji was a 5'11" Japanese teenager in casual dress (link1 link2) when he first showed up. He was friendly, open, and generally had a pretty sunny disposition. What a nerd. Very casual, very likely to get all up in your personal space and chat about stuff.
PHYSICAL CHANGES: Heiji is an inch taller (soon to be two inches around Day 60). He's got a relatively new scar on his left thigh (THANKS, JAKE), but otherwise doesn't look all that much different. His haircut is about the same, because idk anime hair and Hershel gave him a trim fairly recently. Physically, he's unwounded, although he wouldn't say no to some new clothes and regular showers >8(. He does make a point of washing off as much as possible, however, and I guess his hair smells like apple shampoo.
MENTAL CHANGES: Heiji is... about the same, go figure. Obviously he doesn't like it here, but whether he remembers it or not, he's used to shit like dudes lighting themselves on fire and falling off tourist attractions and getting shot and terrorist blimp attacks idek so. He's fiiine. He doesn't like Calhoun or Zero, but he actually likes most people more than when he started, even that one leathery guy with the couch problem.
If anything, he might actually be better off now than he was earlier in the game, since his memories generally support him being someone who is excellent at making snap decisions in dangerous situations, does his best to save lives, and will put up his own life to save a friend's. Remembering Sakata's confession and thwarting his suicide attempt was a painful memory, but one that reinforced Heiji's dedication to making the best of a bad situation and supporting his friends as best he can. He is enormously relieved that he helped save Kazuha's life instead of being a factor in her death.
Being betrayed by Ema threw him for a loop for a bit, because he considered her a friend; it did push him to think a bit more about who in the warehouse he trusted and to what extent. He continues to trust Hershel and Snake with his life and would basically die for them because he's insanely intense like that. Most of the other test subjects are in an "I like you and I'll risk my life for you, but if the other shoe drops and you turn out to be a murderer, I'll understand" sort of category except for probably Clive and Sasuke. It's not personal; like 95% of Detective Conan characters are potential murderers so that's just how he sees things and also how he doesn't flip out when someone turns out to have choked their sister to death over having to move out the of the house or something. One day maybe someone will point out that his outlook on murder is actually kind of weird like. Shouldn't you be more upset by all this shit going down Heiji. Maybe?
Blah blah friendship, recently he's started to like Alfendi more even though Alfendi is a total monster who likes yelling about nips I guess. He's a bit concerned about Sasuke because Sasuke is a concerning little ninja, but Clive seems to be doing better so that's good.
One other major thing that's been going on is that Heiji sort of conflated Snake with how he treats Kudou in Detective Conan, which is constantly hanging around talking about things and being really affectionate and super happy to see him to the point where it was like Hmm. What is going on here, hmm. So they're dating now and basically this. Basically the amount of time Heiji spends being moe garbage has experienced a sharp uptick.
ANYTHING ELSE: What an enormous fucking nerd, hopefully I didn't forget anything

I knew I'd forget something
And votingwise since Dani mentioned it, Heiji is also still on team Ally by Default. He's never liked the idea of betraying people, and he also considers working together not only the reasonable thing to do but necessary -- he knows what happens when people get desperate and distrustful and he'll do whatever he can to prevent something like Akiko's death from happening again.
This also factors into why he's so into getting people to enjoy themselves whenever they get a chance, it's for you own good ok. Eat some steamed ham, talk to Sleepy Cat, please don't murder each other any more...

WOW WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN

like he'd actually have some personal investment in it instead of just generally being like hm. murder again.

ORIGINAL: He pretty much looked like this except in some casual, around the house clothes as opposed to uniform. 5'4", probably not eating enough, and not... totally fit, although he did a rather good job of hiding as much. He was quiet, but more or less willing to try to build trust with everyone. Since the name of the game is escape, that's what he was working towards, even though he had no memories of what lays out there waiting for him. It had to be better than being stuck in here, right?
PHYSICAL CHANGES: He still looks basically the same; he hasn't gotten any injuries bad enough to leave any scars, and he hasn't grown so much as an inch yet. Still pretty thin, but he has actually started eating regularly so he's much healthier in that regard, even if it isn't visibly very noticeable. His hair is a little longer now, but he does try to keep clean even if it means braving the cold water of the garden waterfall. Brr. He's also more or less permanently swapped to these clothes.
MENTAL CHANGES: He's a lot more wary of people than before; Simon's betrayal hit him pretty hard. While he'll still default to ally every single time, he now has a higher expectation that he'll be betrayed. He trusts Heiji, Hershel, and Snake the most not to turn out to be actual secret psychopaths but if they or anyone else did he'd try not to be too disappointed.
He's also beginning to wonder about just what kind of life he led before he came here-- it's worrying that he knows how to wield a knife the way he does, and he's pretty much reached the conclusion that it has to do with assassinations or something similar. He isn't so sure he wants to remember, but he does feel like he should, if only to have a better awareness of his own ingrained reflexes so no one gets hurt around him. Not really certain what to make of his memories of his brother, either; he seems like kind of an asshole so far, but maybe??? It's just brotherly teasing????
Being around the other test subjects has surprisingly kept him from going too deeply into very intense self-loathing so far; the fact that people seem to still generally trust him and find him okay even after the knife incident actually means a lot to him, go figure. It's also because of this that he still refuses to pick up anything sharp because ahaha nope let's not repeat that.
In general, he's still not entirely sure what to make of the part where people are actually concerned about his well being, but he's trying to get better about... well, reassuring them he's alright at least. He still keeps most of his pains and worries to himself; it's a slow process.
ANYTHING ELSE: The AU circumstances are different, but here's the deal with his birthday.
