WIKI NAME: ...I think it was snowdrifts if I remember right. idr.
CHARACTERS: n/a
CHARACTER NAME: Amaterasu (full name: Okami Amaterasu)
FANDOM: Okami
CANON: After the Ark of Yamato rises from Laochi Lake, but before crossing the Rainbow Bridge and entering it.
WHAT THEY LOST: All the Celestial Brush Techniques (yes, even Sunrise).
Reasoning • The reason for this is due to the fact that they more or less make her a super godmode, what with the ability to manipulate fire, ice, and thunder as well as turn night into day and day into night. There's also the fact that she can summon rain storms and put dead plants and trees back into full bloom - as well as bring back something destroyed (like a bridge or a broken statue's sword) to make it look just like new all over again. Since there are no Celestial Brush God constellations in Paradisa, she will be unable to get them back, unless compromises for giving up something else in exchange for the brush techniques can be made.
ABOUT THE CHARACTER: [ Provide a couple of paragraphs about the character you're applying for. Make sure to cover all that is revelent; their personality, their background. THIS MUST BE 500 WORDS or longer. But keep in mind that we do read these so have it be concise and work for quality, not quantity. It'll be a great measure of your characterization and understanding of the character. For a more detailed version of what we're looking for, please see What We're Looking For. ]
THIRD-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE: She watches in silence at the crowd of people below. As the sound of vehicles and people lift muffled to those around them but are perfect in her own ears.
The years had not been kind to her or her people - their faith had waned in and out for so long and it had come to make her wonder if they would come to forget her eventually. Even in the adversity and all the wars, the fighting amongst themselves and with others, Amaterasu had watched her children as they grew and become stronger and she had found herself moving amongst them in spirit. Unseen but not unwelcome. Took part in their battles and kept the sun shining for them; high and proud in the sky and bright even amongst all devastation.
Her ears twitch as she lets out a soft whine to those traveling below.
Even if they couldn't see her, she could still speak with them and shower her divine graces and love upon them all. Even when they would eventually come to forget her and she would fade away into near nothingness Amaterasu knew that she would still love them. She would continue to protect them.
And as the sun sets and the moon rises - full and all glory - Amaterasu looks to it before raising her head to the sky, howling loud and proud in hopes of someone down below hearing it and knowing that their compassionate mother is forever watching them.
[ Write a couple of paragraphs in third person of your character doing something. Anything. Eating dinner. Fighting their archenemy. Showing up in Paradisa. Whatever. THIS MUST BE 250 WORDS OR LONGER. It's used as a measure of your characterization and writing ability.]
FIRST-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE: [The sun seems to be a little bit brighter today than usual, doesn't it, residents of Paradisa? But if you can take your curious gaze away from that there seem to be slightly disgruntled and rather confused wolf-like noises coming from the journal.]

[The words appear across the page in heavy, inked writing. Whoever is writing seems to not care much over the fact that it's a bit sloppy (but still readable) and is smudging the paper of the book with their ... paw(?!).]

INTENT: Amaterasu is the type of character, despite being a wolf and silent protagonist in the game, that a person cannot help but find themselves falling for. She has her faults and she has her strengths, there are so many aspects about her that is just so much fun to play out and Paradisa is a type of place that would allow for it to happen. I've played her here before and I was able to make so much CR for her with so many different types of people, but was not able to play her to her full potential.
I'm really hoping to be able to do that with her now and to be able to play her as that loving goddess who takes watch over her children, friends, and loved ones but also as the protector who will show no fear when faced with an enemy who threatens those around her. I'd also really like to see the types of friendships and relationships that she might be able to develop again, since those help character growth in many different ways - especially since there are those with views and religions that differ from her own.
