Kyuubey is telepathic! He (or it, if you prefer!) communicates with people via telepathy and can even enable nearby people who are magical girls to communicate telepathically too, though it is unlikely he will do that here. However, he doesn't actually ever speak aloud - always into people's heads. SO QUESTION 1: Can your character hear his telepathic voice? Y/N
QUESTION 2: Can Kyuubey glean your character's name from such telepathy?
QUESTION 3: Although Kyuubey is not a cat, he acts like one often. Also he can teleport. Therefore... Is it okay if Kyuubey jumps in your character's lap or otherwise appears close by / invading their personal space or even just showing up on their windowsill or in their closet? If there's any place you absolutely do NOT want this guy showing up, just let me know!
QUESTION 4: (THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE OK) Can Kyuubey steal your character's french fries and/or onion rings at lunch?
AND NOW EXPLANATIONS! WARNING THAT SPOILERS FOR PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA ABOUND AHEAD!!!!
Kyuubey is capable of turning people into Magical Girls (or Boys in this case), dedicated to fighting Witches! All you have to do is make a wish and form a contract with him! In granting that one wish, he will give your character the power to transform into a badass magical fighter who will look fabulous while fighting!
... however, if you'd like a full explanation of how this work / what's the catch... read on...!

Ok!
We good? Yes? OK!
There are lots of things Kyuubey generally neglects to mention about being a Magical Girl.
1. To turn you into a Magical Girl, Kyuubey extracts your soul from your fragile body and crafts a Soul Gem out of it. The Soul Gem is now where your mind rests, though you probably won't ever notice this unless the Gem gets separated from your body. If it is more than a few meters away from your body, you will no longer be able to control your body, and it will simply collapse like a puppet whose strings are cut. This separation of mind and body enable you to endure a great deal more pain and damage than you otherwise would be able to, and the Soul Gem allows you to transform into a pretty Magical Girl and use magical powers to fight things. These magical powers are generally tied in some way to your wish. For example, if you wish to heal someone, then you will wind up with rapid healing magic. If that person you wished to heal was a musician and you wished to heal them so that you could hear their music again, then it's likely there will be a musical motif somewhere in your design or powers or whathave you. It should be noted, however, that if the Soul Gem is destroyed, you die.
2. As you use your magic, your Soul Gem grows tainted, however. To remove the taint, you need Grief Seeds, which are harvested from Witches. By defeating a Witch, you will be able to harvest its Grief Seed to absorb your taint. Kyuubey will then take any Grief Seed that has absorbed the maximum amount of taint and dispose of it.
3. If you let your Gem grow too clouded, however, and/or you succumb to despair... you will cease to be yourself and instead become a Witch. After all, just as women are grown up girls, so too are Witches simply grown up Magical Girls. Now are you starting to see why no one likes Kyuubey?
Anyway, the point of all this is, in Wonderland Kyuubey is still capable of making Contracts - and with anyone, so don't feel left out of the fun even if your character is not a teenage girl!
He cannot grant any wishes that defy the rules of the game or involve bringing people into or sending them out of Wonderland. Any questionable wishes will be run by the mods for approval.
He won't be granting any wishes probably until September because I am gonna be out of town for a chunk of August. |D
IF a character contracts with him, they WILL eventually become a Witch, as there are no other Witches or Grief Seeds around for them to use to uncloud their gem, and simply maintaining their bodies will eat up a little bit of magic at a time. HOWEVER if someone defeats the Witch, a Grief Seed will be left behind that can be used for future Magical Girls! 8D
But that counts as 1 Death towards your tally. When your character wakes up again, they will no longer be a magical girl, and the wish may be undone, depending on what it is, as the contract has been in some ways broken.
Anyway this all brings me to the final question...
QUESTION 5: Are you interested in having your character contract with Kyuubey at some point? This doesn't need to be right now, but if you are interested, information on the sort of wish you could see your character making would be appreciated! That way I can keep an eye out for them and for an opportune moment for Kyuubey to show up and manipulate them into wishing! ;D

003 Sure! Mind the monkey, tho.
004 Absolutely. Barbs is rather lackluster on both.
Oh, there was a fifth one.
005 Possibly, but Barbs is iffy on that whole thing. We'll have to see what comes up.

Date: 2013-07-24 02:23 am (UTC)1) Can your character hear his telepathic voice? Yup.
2) Can Kyuubey know your name through mind magic? Sure
3) Can Kyuubey invade personal space? Sure, do it!
4) Can Kyuubey steal my noms? She would probably share anyway.
5) Are you interested in having your character contract with Kyuubey at some point? I will say sure, who knows what the future will bring? :D
Meg:
1) Can your character hear his telepathic voice? Yup.
2) Can Kyuubey know your name through mind magic? Sure
3) Can Kyuubey invade personal space? She would throw him out a window so fast, so probably better to be safe and not get in Meg's personal space, cabbit. >:]
4) Can Kyuubey steal my noms? Hale no.
5) Are you interested in having your character contract with Kyuubey at some point? Nope, her wishes are definitely not something to be inflicted upon the general masses, I'm sure.

Shrugging when they ask where it came from.
KYUUBEY DON'T GET YOUR FUR ALL OVER HOMURA'S BED. :|
no subject
Date: 2013-07-24 03:04 am (UTC)1 (telepathy): Yep.
2 (name): Yep.
3 (lapkitty): omgyes.
4 (theft): Sure, she might even feed him some.
5 (contract): The idea of magical Joan makes me giggle. I'm not especially interested in it right now but also not necessarily ruling it out, I guess?
Greed:
1 (telepathy): Yep.
2 (name): Yes to the name, and... I don't know that much about his capabilities, do you think he'd know about Ling too?
3 (lapkitty): Oh, please do. :3
4 (theft): I say sure, Greed says: Bitch I will cut you.
5 (contract): Would that even work? He's got so many extra souls... But he's much more likely to go for it than Joan, I think, so again, not ruling it out.
no subject
Date: 2013-07-24 03:17 am (UTC)Magical Joan would be pretty neat!
As for Greed / Ling... I'm not sure. Canon is unfortunately vague on the matter, but Kyuubey seems to know the names of the girls he considers candidates without their having introduced themselves to him, and he can perceive the state of souls to an extent? More in terms of how good of a magical girl someone might make and if someone is already a magical girl.
However, he's not actually psychic - he can't really read minds or thoughts not directed at him. He just seems to be able to pick up on names and the general power / potential of a soul... so I'm not really sure. :|a He'd probably be able to tell that Greed had extra souls but I'm not sure if he'd know about Ling. I'll have to review; it's been a while since I looked up anything FMA related!
no subject
Date: 2013-07-24 09:00 am (UTC)2 - Sure, he seems pretty Eldritch, I'm sure he could.
3 - Susan will hate it. So: Yes. Please do this. Anywhere is fine, go nuts.
4 - Susan will hate this also. Yes. Do it.
5 - She will probably not contract with him, but mostly because she just doesn't have any truck with that sort of thing. If she's really desperate for something, though, she would probably turn to the locals before the vendors so there's always a chance. What she'd wish for, though, I can't even imagine but it's probably not going to come up any time soon.
no subject
Date: 2013-07-25 09:28 pm (UTC)2. oh yeah sure go for it
3. yes but don't be surprised if you get a very frightened reaction/get thrown/why would you do this to an unstable encephalitis-ridden person with a gun
4. aw of course, Will would give the cute little fucking alien thing all of his food
5. hell yes i am so okay, i'm not sure if i'm understanding this right, but Will's wish would probably be something along the lines of saving/healing/undoing the damage that was done to Abigail Hobbs. healing the neck scar, or if at all possible, getting rid of those memories all together/giving her happy ones in their place. basically he sees this girl who was the daughter of a serial killer he killed as broken, and if he can save her, he can save himself. so his wish would have to do with making her happy/saving her idek what kind of power that could translate to but there you go.
and if that doesn't work, just the idea of him being fast enough/wishing he was calm enough in the face of what terrifies him would be great, because then he wouldn't have a situation like that happen again.
tell me though, if he gets turned into a magical girl, does that mean i can draw a bunch of anime icons of will graham in a sort of sailor suit thing please tell me it does
no subject
Date: 2013-07-25 10:26 pm (UTC)>D YES GOOD to all of this.
BUT is Abigail Hobbs in Wonderland right now? If so, Kyuubey can absolutely do something like heal her up or get rid of her memories or make her happy. He cannot at this time really affect people outside of Wonderland, so that might not be a thing, unfortunately. If it is, then his powers will probably revolve around fast healing or creating illusions?
If being fast and calm enough in the face of what terrifies him is the wish, then I imagine his powers would have to do with heightened reflexes - amazing speed and ... well aha he might wind up lacking fear altogether which may or may not be a good thing. |D
How emotionally stable is Will otherwise? :3 I'll read his app later today or tomorrow to familiarize myself with him, as well...
BUT YES IT TOTALLY DOES. BUAHAHAH It doesn't have to be a sailor suit - any bamf outfit will do. You can see examples of some of the canon magical girl outfits here! So you're not limited to just a sailor outfit if you wanna get even more glitzy.
no subject
Date: 2013-07-25 10:37 pm (UTC)ummm NO I DON'T THINK SHE IS but i'm steadfastly working on enabling a friend to join as abigail so i think we might have one by the time this idea can come into fruition. if she doesn't/drops the game before this can happen, then we can definitely go with the heightened reflexes and speed thing, that sounds good. I DUNNO WE CAN PLOT THIS OUT and in the mean time i can watch some PMMM to get an idea of what the hell is going on yes good
RE: how emotionally stable is will: no. LMFAO LIKE THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO SAY ON THAT just no there is no other answer than no
basically he's afraid of everything, he's suffering from PTSD both from something that happened to him earlier in his career and basically PTSD from his job everyday, he came into wonderland right after shooting someone point blank and not really being in his right state of mind, he's got a frightfully overactive imagination, and he's got encephalitis. there is nothing stable about him, not mentally, not physically, not emotionally. if you want i can give you like a 200 word summary on him
so you don't have to glean through an 8000 word app omgHELL YES oh my god i am going to give him the fanciest fucking thing can i put stag/dog imagery all over everything and make him like a plaid magical girl snarky this is beautiful you are beautiful bless u
