#oc: kurousu shinmane

happy birthday, Kurousu! 15 years ago i made the impulse decision to make a rp account for my newly-made Mother 3 OC and that somehow kickstarted a long domino chain that led to me being the person i am today.

this is a redraw of the first ever drawing of her i made:

which was all the way back in 2008! she's gone through some changes since then, heh.

tumblr is functional and wont let me actually do “reply in new tab”. okay

disclaimer: i came up with Kurousu when i was in, like, 6th grade. as a result shes kind of... weird? but also i love her to death so just try and ignore how fanfic-y she is bc i used to rp her on youtube of all places

(pictured here without her sweater, long pants, or bodysuit because she tries to wear as much concealing clothing as possible)

Ku is a Mother 3 OC! sometime after the timeskip, the chimera labs were trying to like... make super-chimeras? by cloning psi users, like kumatora, or cloning non-psi users and giving their clones psi, like fuel. just all sorts of weird mad science and cloning going on. one of their projects was to try and clone the masked man, with the idea being that they would make an army of him that would be totally unstoppable. their only attempt that actually survived was a total failure, though, with pretty much no psychic potential to speak of (and also was a girl for some reason?), and “claustwo” was tossed aside with the other rejects. she ended up making friends with them, and badly mangled her designation into her name, Kurousu.

during her stay at the chimera labs, the pigmasks were trying to like.. train her and her fellow rejects to not be super garbage? except ku was just consistently not living up to expectations, and couldnt even use the most basic levels of pk w/o external assistance from a psi amplifier. they ended up deciding she was more effort than she was worth and locked her up with the ultimate chimera to see what would happen, which... nearly killed her! and then they reconstructed her into a mechanical chimera like “well maybe she’ll be useful NOW” except she was now extremely traumatized and couldnt fight at all without freezing up and having flashbacks.

angry at how their friend had been treated, the other rejects came up with a plan to like.. take ku and break out. go live among the other residents of nowhere islands, because with the exception of ku who was obviously half-robot they were otherwise just normal kids who were like.. grown in a lab and had superpowers. the plan fell apart at the last second, with only one of them successfully escaping-- the other was put into cryogenic storage, and ku herself was likely about to be decommissioned for her repeated failures if not for the intervention of a pigmask that had grown fond of her and kind of became her dad figure. when the 7th needle was pulled, he was able to take ku away from the chimera labs in the ensuing chaos and started a life with her in the remade world.

pretty much all of that got repressed, though! she had no memory of that up until she met Tank, Fuel’s “twin brother” who was strangely familiar despite her being certain they’d never met before.

kurousu is timid, stutters a lot, hates being stared at, and feels inadequate all the time. she’s got a kind heart, but the trauma conga line she got put through (and kept being put through throughout the entire course of the years-long rp) means that shes afraid anything she does might get her or her friends hurt. shes got a long list of phobias and her character arc was mostly learning how to overcome them and stand on her own, while also learning that there are people around her that want to support her and help her become the best she can be. despite her fears, she did her best to be the emotional cornerstone of the team and had an optimistic outlook on life, and strongly believed that regardless of her origins or what happened to her that she could keep moving forward to be something more than her scars or intended “purpose”.

when put under pressure or when her friends are in danger, kurousu’s personality suddenly flips and she becomes furious and single-mindedly focused on kicking as much ass as possible. she loses complete control over herself the longer she’s in this state, and her psychic powers get a huge boost in exchange for them hurting her to use. she has very little memory of what she does in this state, and to be honest it scares the hell out of her. the last thing she wants to be is be a living weapon, even though thats what she was created for.

also she was best friends with ninten and kind of had a crush on him? it was VERY obvious and never really went away, even after she started dating tank. he gave her the neckerchief she wears, and was her emotional support whenever the other two members of the “chimera trio” (kurousu, tank, and her “brother” vincent) werent around. ku was pretty sheltered even after leaving the chimera labs so ninten’s main job was trying to help her integrate to normal life and teaching her, like, pop culture things. it was honestly super adorable

tl;dr cinnamon roll claus clone that deserves the best. also she has wings because i didnt realize at first that masked man’s wings arent like, actually part of him, and by the way i hadnt even played mother 3 when i made her?
