In general as long as you identify yourself as when you get the confused "Who am I talking to" question I'm very cool with any chatting.

Character
Name: Ruri Hoshino
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Canon: Martian Successor Nadesico
Canon Point: End of “Blank”
History: http://nadesico.wikia.com/wiki/Ruri_Hoshino
Personality: Ruri as a person can be summed up in one word: muted. She was raised to be a computer interface and not a girl, and as such was taught science, mathematics, philosophy, but never taught how to play or be a child. Because of this she developed her intellect but not her emotions, not to say she is incapable of showing emotion, she is just not comfortable with them. Her rare shows of emotion tend to be at major victories, and still muted (the first time she smiled in the show drew the attention of 2 other characters as rather extraordinary).
She is a fairly tolerant girl, especially given her IQ being over the 300 range. She will frequently call people idiots, but is just as likely to call herself one. Idiocy is part of being human and nothing to be ashamed of, as long as it’s learned from. Thinking that she feels it's her duty to point out when someone is being an idiot so that they may grow from it and be less of an idiot tomorrow. Even if they don't, she much prefers idiocy to deception, and the only way to truly upset or offend her is to lie and be caught in it.
Ruri was born as the subject of a genetic experiment to create the perfect person. She can’t have cancer, and had the negative effects of poor eyesight and health associated with being an albino removed. She was made mostly immune to sickness and all of the scientists frequently called her the next step in evolution. Coupled with the fact she is so smart, and she didn’t break due to her intellectual conditioning, something that the other 19 subjects in her test group could not say, she in many ways knows that she is “better” than just about everyone else. However, whenever anyone brings it up, she simply states that she is an ordinary girl. This is partially because she doesn’t want to start believing her own hype and making mistakes due to it, and partially because it keeps people off guard.
When she later found out about her birth parents, the king and queen of the rich merchant nation of Peaceland, she reacted mutedly as usual. Instead of showing joy, or developing an ego, she quietly requested time, then asked to be told where the institute she was raised in was. It was more important that she go there and be connected with the sound of the fish that was her first truly happy and more importantly real memory than the money or family. Later when she was offered the chance to live with her family (Blank of 5 years) but at the cost of them paying off the rest of her contract, she chose to stay with the captain of the Nadesico and was adopted as her daughter, preferring to live in the single room she shared with Yurika and Akito where everyone was at least honest, as opposed to the pampered intrigue of the wealthy.
Ruri's biggest suffering is a lack of understanding of how people think. Lying for self-gain, or really any reason strikes her as offensive, as lies in computer code are errors and need to be debugged. Frequently she sees it as the terrible world of adults, and even as she grew into adulthood she swore never to fall into that trap. She has never really been with people her own age, and she never got to be a child. While she will play video games against Omoikane, the concept of "relaxing" is somewhat foreign to her. As such on times of long space voyages or other such times of immense down time she tended to pick up extra shifts so that others could relax and she had something to focus on.
Ruri doesn't have many friends, she doesn't quite understand people enough to make them easily. Those she DOES consider friends she views as family, and she is fiercely loyal to them. Ruri was willing to become a military fugitive to keep it so that her friends would always have the Nadesico to call home (she hid in the subzero computer core to keep them from reformatting it). She also took the blame for MANY of Yurika's infractions on the bridge (firing the main gun on a stealth op because she accidently pressed the button and such), and assaulted a thug that was 3 times her size who was beating up her appointed knight with a giant spatula. In the end, to save her closest friends she took her ship on a suicide mission against a fleet and was able to focus her own talents enough to take down an entire planetary data grid.
Ruri doesn't like bloodshed though. She was one of two people to mourn the first fatality of the Nadesico, and all her solutions tend to center on as few deaths as possible. While not afraid to use force, always preferred a non-fatal plan, mostly because she has seen a lot of robot anime where enemies can become friends AS WELL as the mentality of “If they are dead, they can’t suffer” for the times that she is actually pressed hard enough to push a fight through. A good example of this was the battle with the Martian Successors where she started by shutting down all of their robots movement, weapons, and life support systems before demanding surrender.
She does however like to make sure that those she beats, know it was her. Tactics are like a game of chess with her and she knows she can’t prepare for everything, but if she can keep the other side talking she can out think them. She made CERTAIN the Martian Successors knew it was her when she shut them down, and she gained that ability by simply forcing them to countermove against her less than conventional tactics till she understood where they were coming from. When the UN forces were actively hiding the fact of what the Jovians were after the crew of the Nadesico had some ideas, she tapped into the com system of the entire ship and as the crew slowly drove one of the people in line to learn about the conspiracy crazy she electronically followed him.
Ruri doesn’t really deal well with nature either. She doesn’t hate it, but she doesn’t exactly know how to function in it. She finds the sound of lakes and fish relaxing, but she can’t swim. She enjoyed her time on the beach, but really just spent the day under an umbrella working on her computer. Given how most of her time is spent in a tiny metal box in space, or in cities, she is a bit uncomfortable in places with no manmade structures and doesn’t really know how to interact with nature and wildlife. In her canon it isn’t an issue since she rarely has to ever even go in it, but she was not comfortable with the idea of camping, and other than cute domesticated animals generally isn’t comfortable with them.
Most of the time her crew dotes on her, but she is the only actual child on the ship. Generally innocent, the crew frequently does what it can to have her remain that way despite the fact that she spends most of her time with an AI that is basically built to always be connected to the internet. Also given how she doesn’t flaunt being smarter than everyone else (aside from calling everyone idiots most all of the time) they generally regard her recommendations well enough to listen to them, and if it is something computer based will let her do whatever. Before joining the crew of the Nadesico, she was basically property, and as such doesn’t know that people actually listening to her as a child is not the norm since she was raised to be a computer component till Prospector bought her for a briefcase full of gold bars. She has however learned that people generally are not treated like that, even in the terrible world of adults.

[Christmas was over, but under her tree Ruri had found a box containing her favorite neko costume and a card pointing to an area in the Nadesico that had been newly recovered. The Onsen. Taking a few days to enjoy it all to herself, she has been somewhat absent as of late unless you live with her in which case she's been spending a lot of time on the ship. However now she has decided to deal with the outside world again]
Action 1 - Locked to those listed below
[If you are GLaDOS, Death, Death, Minato, Scott Pilgrim, Minato, Hiccup, Quinn, Crowe, Caesar, America, Cuba, Spain, Taiwan, Nadeko or Madoka then Ruri is knocking on your door with a box under her arm and a slight smile on her face. If she lives with you odds are there is a gift too, but you'll have to get her at home because knocking on her own door seems silly to her.]
Action 2 - School
[Your guidance counselor is back today and for more than a half hour or so. If you are in an art class she may be sitting in the back, or if you are the kind to try and snag some free peanut butter cups there is a bowl of them on her desk when she's in the office.]
Phone - Drone Filter only
It seems its been about a year I've been here and a lot of terrible things have happened but we've all well... Done as we do. This time the city decided to return to me the Nadesico's onsen and while I have enjoyed it for a few days, I think things like that are best shared. I'll be opening it to general use if you promise not to fight in it, or generally make a terrible mess of things. Actually those are the rules of any of the Nadesico's facilities that may open up. I'm not here to pick sides, I'm here to try and understand this place and do what I can to help keep people sane.
Action 3 - The Nadesico Onsen
[Ruri has just finished cleaning it and is sitting outside reading a book. There is a side with pink curtains and a side with blue ones, and if one were to peer inside, there is the an onsen that probably takes up too many resources for a sane war captain. Good thing the Nadesico has never been captained by a purely military mind.]

You're the Next Captain of the Nadesico
Dec. 1st, 2011 04:41 pm[The past few days there had been a drone of Ruri running around, but now she was replaced with some normal unremarkable drone girl in the house on Stevens as Ruri woke up just before sunrise in a new house, in a new bed, next to a sleeping figure with a confused look on her face. Outside the house at 947 Beulah Street, hovering over it with its loading ramp down covering part of the driveway hovered the Nadesico-C, sitting there as the sun just began to glisten off its hull.]
Action 1 - 947 Beulah Street
[Dressed in a simple dressing gown and bathrobe Ruri peers about the house, she looks a bit older than she did just days ago, though not much. She walks outside to look around, looks at the address and lets out a breath.]
Two years... I see. I wonder how long its been here.
Phone -
I'm not sure how long I was droned, several years passed at home so I'm not sure what has been happening here. I remember a nuclear bomb attack and that's about it. The town seems to think I'm the guidance counselor at the High School now. If the Cosplay Cafe is still open could someone let me know? Also if there is any new data to be analyzed. Also apparently the Nadesico is here with me, though I need to check all of her systems over.
Action 2 - School
[Ruri walks into the school, now not as a student but as the force that guides the children to mental stability and prosperity. You may find her wandering the halls occasionally, or sitting in her new office, putting out a bowl of little chocolates. After school you will find her sitting at cheer-leading practice, looking horribly unimpressed.]
Why is coaching this my job again?
Action 3 - The Nadesico
[Its big, its shiny, its just hovering there, over the house, and the lot behind the house, and the street.... Its really freaking big. Ruri is at the entry ramp going over several holoscreens and "hrm"ing a lot.]

The Princess of Darkness
Nov. 29th, 2011 06:35 am((OOC: I'm still figuring out the drone text thing so even though she is droned, since she's all droned, I'm just going to use the normal font. I suck.))
[Citizens of Mayfield that may have been using the wireless signal that Ruri was providing for all their network needs, upon waking up on this lovely Tuesday morning you may notice its not there. You may also notice that the garage and basement of 2242 Stevens Road are no longer full of computer equipment, or that the little emotionless girl there is far too emotional for her own good.]
Action - 2242 Stevens Road
[Ruri hops out of bed and dresses in her best sweater/poodle skirt combination, running downstairs to help mother with breakfast before heading off to school, you may notice the giggling, or the twirling of the hair, or the exasperated flailing when she notices she's running a bit late]
Action - School
[See Ruri in class, see her fawning over some of the boys, or at the popular drone table during lunch. Does she normally even eat lunch with people?

Lets Go with B Rated Anime
Oct. 27th, 2011 06:22 am[Late at night there was something outside, something out of the ordinary so she went out to scan it, sadly Omoikane reported a chance of contamination so she chose to get her sleeping bag out and nap in the back yard. Come morning when she was larger than the yard she just sighed]
And of course only my slip grew with me.
Action - Streets of Mayfield
[There's a 30 foot tall deadpan snarker walking the streets, she's trying not to step on anyone, but it looks more like its because she only has socks on]
Why did Mayfield decide to become a terrible movie?
Action - Mayfield Highschool
[She's peering in the windows for a while, before she taps lightly on the ones to the science labs, its hard to miss her though]

Leave the Grey Mayfield to Me
Oct. 13th, 2011 01:11 pm[While Ruri went to school today she kept a low profile during it. Maybe you saw her moving through the hallways with a very tired/blank expression on her face, maybe you didn't. Something does seem to be bothering her a bit though.]
Action: Schoolyard
[There are several holographic panels floating around Ruri, each one shows a different person that she knows who is droned, has been droned lately, either temporary or permanently that she has interacted with in the past month or so. She's quietly singing something under her breath and looking at them with her usual neutral expression but the song, www.youtube.com/watch?v=It1UpXDCOts, is a bit defeated in tone]
There has to be some commonality that causes this to be reversible, so its just finding the pattern in some that isn't in others.

Ruri's Class Logs
Sep. 8th, 2011 08:11 amAction - School
[Ruri has been going to school but missing a lot of classes and spending her time in the science club, today she's decided to go to class. You may find her ignoring the teacher and staring into a book with a holoscreen in it if the teacher is a drone, staring out of a window or trying to pay attention if the teacher is an actual person who doesn't seem to be an idiot. She does seem to be kind of wrapped up in her own thoughts though and moving in a fairly mechanical fashion]
Phone - Drone filters
"I'm looking for two things if anyone can help. The first being a person who was given the doctor job in this town to write something for me. The other thing is scientists of the less than orthodox methodology. Mad scientists if you will. I want to try and do some boson jump experiments without CCs and breaking the laws of temporal physics gives me a headache... Probably it gives most sane researchers a headache."
Action 2 - Cosplay Cafe
[Ruri is there in her maid outfit, sweeping outside the front of the cafe and looking at the stars]

To Bowl like a Man
Sep. 2nd, 2011 07:47 pmWho: Ruri and Mordred
Where: The bowling alley
[So she woke up in some bowl o ramma place, Ruri was used to weird things here. The kind of fancy dress was a bit silly, but the place seemed empty despite being set up. At least there was food to be found but the silence]
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
Where: The bowling alley
[So she woke up in some bowl o ramma place, Ruri was used to weird things here. The kind of fancy dress was a bit silly, but the place seemed empty despite being set up. At least there was food to be found but the silence]
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
Reflections of Self, Reflections of Water
Aug. 16th, 2011 02:51 pm[Ruri saw the milkman was being put in charge and decided that it was probably easy to just drink the damn milk as opposed to deal with anything, she could run it through cheese cloth to filter out the spiders and razor blades and well, if it was poison, she figured she'd feel it and could call someone who could fix her up. The problem is she got special milk and had no concept of how to deal with that.]
Action: 2242 Stevens Road
[Ruri is in the yard, laying on the ground looking at the clouds muttering to herself]
Action: Church
[Ruri is standing there holding a bouquet of weeds, staring off into the clouds]
Computer Action:
[If you have a computer connected to Omoikane after about 7:30pm an annoying popup with a map of the town and a red dot near Makeout point flashing will appear, and won't go away, if you close it, 2 will appear, so forth and so on]
Action: Make Out Point Night
[Ruri is laying in a heap, still breathing, but barely, at the bottom of the cliff, coated in dirt and cuts]

Protect the Newcomer?
Aug. 9th, 2011 06:34 am[Ruri is still rather beat up after her brush with the fender and still feeling a bit odd from the healing magic. She just looks pale and is moving slowly, but she still isn't doing a lot of it other than a few simple chores]
Action - Cosplay Cafe
[Still, she is working, see that girl in the maid outfit selling tea? She'll gladly take your order and probably chat a bit, but she looks rather tired]
Action - 2242 Stevens Road
[Coming home from work she spots a box on the front lawn with her name on it. She'll take it to the porch, set it down and open it. These have all had computer components in them in the past, but, this one has something in it that causes her to quietly close the box and start crying.]
Phone - Drone Filters
"It seems several of you are new and awakening here. I'd like to welcome you to Mayfield, but I can't. Its a terrible place. One part prison, one part psychological experiment. If you need help... I'm Ruri, feel free to ask. I honestly could use some sort of distraction right now and while the best explanation of what is going on is held by Mr. Rose at the library, I can fill in some gaps."
Action - The streets of Mayfield
[If you're from Japan, you know the cheery tune of the street vendor's ramen flute. Playing a delightful little tune to announce fresh ramen. Well, that instrument is playing the tune, but its got the tempo of a funeral dirge as a little girl in what looks to be a Ramen cart attendant uniform with a frilly apron walks by playing it. A very blank expression on her face.]

There is No Single Truth - Stage 1

"The town is doing something, making people tell the truth about everything. If you feel the need to tell it to everyone, call me and I can set up a hologram of someone who can nod, but has no hearing capacity. That way you can tell it anything you want and suffer no real risks. I'm somewhat compromised myself, but luckily all my secrets are stupid so its mostly harmless... Still I've had the oddest thoughts about neurotoxin chemical compounds."
[action] around town
[If Ruri knows you, and you've either spewed insanity on the phone or gone completely quiet, she'll be knocking at your door with her usual deadpan look]
[phone] filtered to Flonne
"A stupid question but... You seem to be an expert. Would you be willing to tell someone what exactly love is?"
[phone] filtered to Rin, Millie, Nadeko, Rider (Girl type), Yomiko, GLaDOS and Saber
"Scott is acting a little weird, I think whatever is in the air is hitting him doubly hard, would it be okay if I stayed with one of you for a few days, either till this blows over or the droning issue happens? Its not that I'm really worried about safety, but he locked himself in the only bathroom."

Finding Yourself in a "Routine Plot"
Jul. 6th, 2011 11:41 am[Phone]
"Everyone, I was told that since I turn 16 on the 7th I should hold a party. If I held it on the 8th, would anyone want to come at all? Friday seems a bit better because some people have to work and I was told its better to hold a party when you don't have to work the next day. Its okay if you say no, just I figured we could use something happy after that horror the other day."
"Also, if anyone has a computer with a wireless connection, or a phone that can hook into it, Omoikane is broadcasting a network frequency and if you promise not to try and break into any of his files I don't mind hooking us all together. Its not quite the internet, but its better than nothing, right?"

[Action] 2242 Steven's Road front yard
[Ruri woke up, she was of two minds and neither of them meshed. It'd be easier if that other voice wasn't screaming things in her head like 'memory default' or 'faulty backup data, please express caution' then other loud thoughts about cheerleader tryouts for next year didn't scream in her head in retaliation.]
"I.... So many memories...."
[Phone]
"I.... I am having odd thoughts... Bad thoughts... Ones that would make baby Jesus cry. Does anyone want to help me forget about them? I turn 16 on Thursday so maybe we could plan a party, or you could help me train for the chee.... No. Those are stupid. Such a headache. Omoikane is trying to run a system scan on me but it keeps coming up in fault. Does anyone else have things like this going on?"
[Action] Rec Center
[Ruri is sitting at the edge of the pool with a confused look]
"I know I prefer doing this but gosh, I need to practice if I want to make the team. No. Wait. Still not right."

[Its morning, and Ruri's been making a mess in the kitchen. She was up at 4 cooking, and made a very bland pizza, its been sitting in the refrigerator now for a few hours to get that perfect cold pizza temperature, that and there's a pot of macaroni and cheese on the stove. Its not a traditional breakfast, but she woke up and wanted to do something nice for Scott.]

"Um, this may sound a little silly, but... I'm turning 16 next month, and recent events have made me realize that I do not have a good grasp on being an adult. I don't suppose anyone out there gives lessons or anything on that to girls?"
