IC INFORMATION
Character Name: Suyeoung Han (written Western style).
Species: Human/constellation
Canon: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
Canon Point: End of Chapter 542: Epilogue 4 - The Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, VII
Character Age: 29
CRAU: No
Character Appearance: Here.
Powers and Abilities:

Avatar: Suyeong can create clones of herself and shape their appearance by investing them with memories.

Predictive Plagiarism: Suyeong creates an incredible number of clones in her own mind, whose combined efforts can predict and interpret the future.

Eye of Truth: Suyeong can identify a person's general abilities, skills, and attributes.

Lie Detection: Exactly what it says.

Poker Face: Blocks skills like Lie Detection.

General "better than normal human" skills and abilities like swordsmanship and movement skills.

Stories: Narrative weight and power, put not so simply. Legacies of important acts and events become Stories; for example, Hades and Persephone share the Story "Promise of the Darkest Night", which is literally the story of Hades and Persephone. When invoked, a Story lends power to actions and deeds that reflect it, on the principle of that Story being an essential component of the being who possesses it, and consequently reflects what they have done and thus should be able to do again. This can also have negative results; Achilles' Story would make its possessor reaaally vulnerable to heel attacks. A large number of her Stories relate to writing and authorship (e.g. "Revision Specialist") although she possesses numerous others.

Constellation: Constellations are beings whose Stories make them figures of renown and legend. An incarnation (a person in the scenarios) who earn five sufficiently-powerful stories, and has no constellation sponsor, becomes a constellation and is granted a modifier by the Star Stream. They become eligible to participate in channel-viewing, coin sponsorship, incarnation sponsorship, and access to the cash shop. Yes really. Suyeong obtained constellation status in the 1865th regression, earning the modifier "Architect of the False Last Act".

Nerfing: Conveniently, all these powers are inherently self-nerfing in two different ways. On the one hand, exerting more power than is permitted by the current story narrative costs an immense amount of Probability, and overspending that can result in serious harm or even substantial loss to a person's narrative substance. On the other, by virtue of entering the game, Suyeong earns a new Story: "Bound By A Wish", which will automatically activate any time anything she does would be narratively unsatisfying. "Play nice and don't ruin the setting" is literally baked in to what she can do.

What Did Your Character Wish For? To get Dokja Kim back, properly and for good.
What Potion Did They Receive? Blue.
Did They Drink It? Eventually.

Character Questions:
1. Who is the person your character is most bonded with from their canon, or who is someone they miss the most and why?

Dokja Kim promised to read her next novel. Even if it was 3000 pages, he said he'd read it. An author needs a reader, and he is hers. He promised. Traversing the scenarios with him, the pair developed immense respect and trust for each other, which they even admittedly openly on occasion. ORV may be his story, but its so-called epilogue is Suyeong doing absolutely everything in her power to defy the ending he'd achieved -- at one point, a version of her acknowledges that her actions are dooming literally infinite world-lines to suffering and misery, but she's going to do it anyway, solely to save him.

2. What are they most afraid of and why?

That there isn't a way. There isn't an answer. The story is written, and it can't be changed to what they want it to be, no matter what she does and how powerfully she refuses to accept it. At the canonpoint she's taken from, she and her friends have just absolutely failed to meaningfully rescue Dokja from his self-imposed fate, despite an absolutely incredible and terrifying amount of effort and danger to do so. She's living that fear.

3. What are their emotional, mental, and physical weaknesses and why?

Emotional: Suyeong is selfish. Time has made that selfishness more benign, such as leading her to protect and look out for the company because she wants to, but she also is the one who refuses most staunchly and adamantly to accept the fate that Dokja created for himself. When she comes up with a plan, she intends to see it through regardless of what ANYONE else thinks or wants, whether it be getting Dokja back or sealing the entire world into stasis to protect it.

Mental: Although she makes lots of plans, Suyeong is not really great at contingency-planning or improvisation when those plans go awry. She ends up deeply committed to them (see: selfish) and unwilling to consider other possibilities, or even that the goals of the plans themselves may be deeply flawed.

Physical: She has low stamina and generally tends to neglect that trait even when given opportunity to improve it.


4. What discrepancies are there between their inner self (who they feel they are) and their outer self (how they present themselves to others)?

These days, surprisingly few. Suyeong is straightforward, open, and loud in her thoughts and opinions. Even prior to her character growth she openly and freely acknowledged that she was a bad and selfish person, and a lot of that growth was getting over a reluctance to associate with not just Dokja, but the group as a whole. Helping matters is that her identity as an author has not only been profoundly reinforced, but narratively enforced through her Stories. The biggest things she feels but does not admit to is that despite being critical to literally all existence connected through the Star Stream, she is absolutely powerless in every meaningful way thanks to timeline shenanigans and predestination paradoxes. Despite that feeling, she generally portrays herself as confident, collected, and capable.

5. What would make them happiest and why?

Not to beat a dead horse, but getting Dokja back. The brief period after the end in which no one had realized the Dokja with them was only a 49%-memory Avatar was the happiest time of all, not just for her but for everyone. Conversely, once that truth came out, and especially after the failure of the 1865th regression attempt, she settled into a life that was really just existing, and going through the motions. To a certain extent, this isn't just about him, but the overall failure to get a "happy ending" (see: selfish), but it centers entirely around him.

6. What characteristics does someone need to have to be your character's ideal significant other?

being Dokja, probably Suyeong needs someone with sufficient strength of will and resolve to both challenge her and support her. As an author, she'd say she needs a proper reader, someone who will take the work she creates and appreciate it for everything that it is, even as they might have valid criticism or suggestions or even entirely different interpretations than she has. That applies on a broader scale, too -- for what she does and how she lives, she needs a person who complements all that.

7. Would your character make a sacrifice to save someone else and why or why not?

Without question, would and has; the Group Regression to the 1865th round represents an immense sacrifice, leaving behind a completed scenario and a reasonably good future to return to the pain, misery, and hell of the scenarios from the very beginning. Even with the greatest preparation possible, she knew things would be rough at the best, but at no point did she ever consider not doing it. By the end, when faced with the notion that someone needed to take Dokja's place in observing the timeline, she immediately volunteered herself. Considering the protective tone she takes towards the rest of the company, she almost certainly would put herself out to help one of them who needed it... albeit more hesitantly and with more complaining.

8. What is one thing they would tell their younger self if they had the chance, or if your character is young, what is one thing they would want their older self to remember?

This is... a profoundly complicated question, thanks to regressive time-travel, character cloning, clones of characters undergoing regressive time-travel to inhabit the same body as the younger original, and the acknowledged lack of linear cause and effect that comes from the story being a story... Suyeong is absolutely aware of predestination paradoxes and the fact that changing anything is literally impossible, so what's the point of telling her past self anything? If absolutely pressed, she'd probably say something like, "The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon is a total chuuni, so go ahead and sign up for him, but get ready to say some absolutely garbage lines to invoke his power."


9. When in dire circumstances does your character fight, flee, freeze or fawn and how does that look?

Fight, fight, fight. Fleeing is a reaction for uncomfortable circumstances, not dire ones. Throughout the scenarios, she knows perfectly she can't escape or hide from the Star Stream, and she never tries to earn herself reprieve by legitimately fawning towards it, the dokkaebi, or the constellations. (She'll pander to them to earn coins, but that isn't the same.) When push comes to shove, Suyeong fights harder than anyone.

10. Why did your character make the wish they did?

/gestures at literally every other answer

Legitimately, though, that wish represents a deep moment of weakness for her, coming on the heels of a terrible, agonizing failure after so much time and effort and grief invested. Under normal circumstances, making such a wish would be anathema; she would never be easily convinced to sign a contract with any constellation, no matter what they promised her. In her current circumstances, it represents a 'sure, why not' gamble that says a lot about how much less she cares about what happens to her than she really should.
