CHARACTER INFORMATION

✘ Name: Sunny
✘ Canon: Omori
✘ Canon Point: Right before reaching Basil's room in the good/true ending

✘ Age: 16
✘ History: HERE
✘ Personality:

You're assigned a group project. What role do you end up taking?

( Sunny knows the answer immediately: support. Just what he's always done. )

I don't have any strong feelings either way.

( The silence is long between thoughts, both in his brain and verbally. Talking isn't his strong suit; answering these kinds of questions feels even weaker. Has he ever been questioned like this?

No. He's just been told.

Sunny blinks, shakes his head. )

I'd just fill a role after everyone else chose. ...

( Another pause. )

Wherever I'm needed.

( Liar.

Sunny looks away, wrapping his arms around himself. )

You have the chance to anonymously send a letter to someone who's wronged you in the past. What does it say?

( He cannot conceptualize himself this. Can't make it work in his brain, really. Why would someone do that? Why would he do that?

The only person is Mari, and he ended up killing her.

His eyes widen and unfocus. The crunch of bone. Blood. Limp, lifeless. )

I don't know.

( Flat, blunt. Jumprope, an eye.


His hand comes up to skirt the edge of the wound his best friend gave him. )

... I'd apologize.

Someone you admire very much has just done something you find reprehensible. How do you deal with the situation?

( Stab them, maybe? Aubrey learned as much about the business end of his knife. Long scar on her ribs, an angry slash. )

I've dealt with this before. ... I stabbed her.

( Matter-of-fact, but he shifts uncomfortably where he sits. )

I wouldn't do that anymore. ... But I wouldn't know what I would do if something like that happened again, either.

( It depends, he supposes, but getting specific in a hypothetical is pointless.

His world is small. His circle, smaller. It's something just as foreign to him as the letter concept.

Short answer: shut down and hide and dream it away. )

I might just say goodbye for a little while.

If you could achieve all your goals right now, what would your life look like?

( He'd either be dead or past the liminal space of healing.

Or at least deep enough into the arduous process that he could breathe a little better. Two extremes, really. )

It'd be the opposite. That's all I can say. I don't know what that looks like.

( But he thinks on it a little harder; it appears he's spacing out again. )

I'd start with getting to everyone.

( Bile rises in his throat. )

I'd tell them about Mari.

Someone tells you all your flaws. What did they tell you, and are they right or wrong?

Oh. I know the answer to this one.

( Much quicker than the other answers, so begins his downward spiral. )

If we both had all day ... ( He wraps his arms tighter, but the tone of his words is ease. Like he's thought about this before. )

Wasteful and childish. Too quiet. Too talkative. Too quick to jump to hurting something.

( He really doesn't like this interview at all. )

Annoying. Unreliable.

( And gone from Basil's life when he was needed he very most. )

Selfish.

I think they'd be right.

✘ Type: Spiritual
✘ Powers:

Power 1: The ability to calm and soothe others by touch; the catch here is that they will go transparent as well wherever he's touching them. First skin, then muscle and blood and finally bone. It's like emotional equilibrium and he'll be able to calm himself through this as well.
Power 2: Dreamwalking even "awake". He'll just zone out and glow (or glow in his sleep) and be able to walk into dreams and view them, but not interact directly.
Power 3: Restoration of his wounded eye, sort of; with his Spiritual powers, he'll be able to see the emotions of others in the form of color. While this is active, he can't see normally through his other eye, so he has to use it sparingly.
