Character: Reverie Planetarian
Fandom: planetarian: ~reverie of a little planet~
Character Notes:
History: Reverie Planetarian is, as her name suggests, a member of staff at the Flowercrest Deparment Store's planetarium. However, you could say that her planetarium has had few customers of late - after all, her world is a post-apocalyptic one. Mankind has been virtually wiped out by war, leaving behind toxic rain falling from ever-cloudy skies and abandoned sarcophagi metropolises. The few humans left in the world would find it exceedingly hard to visit her, as killing machines produced for the wars that ruined the planet are many in number, and now attack anyone they can find.
As such, Reverie has spent the last 30 years alone, after the other department store workers were evacuated. As a robot, and therefore only another piece of equipment, she was left behind, completely abandoned. (There were a couple of children that found her once, but they had been told their parents had become stars in the sky, and wanted to see them at the planetarium. That was before things got really bad.) Due to the tiny amount of power the department store's back-up generator is able to produce, Reverie is only operational for one week a year.
Reverie is unaware of how terrible the world has become, however, as she is unable to connect to the various remote facilities and databases that would update her with such information. She can be told about the current situation of the world, but she will be unable to retain it correctly.
Personality: Due to being ever so slightly broken, Reverie is an extremely chatty robot. Her talkative nature can be somewhat annoying, but her sweet manner coupled with this defect made her so endearing to her colleagues that they did not repair it. She is very hardworking, even when alone, as she will stand by the doors of the planetarium and practise her speech, hoping to draw in any potential customers. As a robot programmed specifically to work in the planetarium, her knowledge of the stars and the mythology surrounding them is vast.
Reverie follows The Three Laws of Robotics, however, her Second Law is somewhat loose when the order is to be quiet. Nevertheless, she obeys the others perfectly, almost to an extreme: she will become incredibly distressed if she thinks she has even simply inconvenienced a human being. Obeying these laws makes her happy, and she sees it as her duty to protect and care for humans where she can. Her greatest wish is that, even if she should "die" she will go to the same heaven as humans, so that she can serve them even then.
Other: (The following details will be happening exactly the same as it did when I previously played her.) Due to Reverie's situation, her sense of time will be massively skewed, much in the same way as the Homestuck or PMMM casts. One week will carry on for a month or longer, and at the end of that week time will accelerate through to Reverie's next operational week. Eventually she will reach the week her canon starts in, at which point it will slow even further to accomodate the events of that week.
Reverie's world will be in "apocalypse quarantine" due to its fractured state. DDD's world mechanics were originally lifted from Kingdom Hearts, and in these games when a world is close to collapse it is impossible to travel there, meaning Reverie will be living in isolation from the community's worldhoppers. I believe this was also observed by the Evangelion cast when they reached the End of Evangelion. As Reverie is the only playable character (apart from the Junker, and in the rare circumstances we receive an application for one I will abide by his wishes also), this should not be difficult to enact.
Additionally, referring back to timelines, when Reverie reaches the end of her canon it will cycle back to the beginning (due to [SPOILERS]) This was previously discussed with the mod team and approved when I first played her.

First Person (entry type): What do you think of the planetarium? That beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter when. All the stars in all the sky are waiting for you.
......ah! Hello? Is this the help and support center? I am very sorry about that, I did not mean to confuse you. I was practising.
This is the help and support center, isn't it? I haven't been able to connect for such a long time. I thought that perhaps I had become even more broken. After all, I haven't been able to run the proper diagnostics without being connected to you.
I have a number of things to report! Firstly, it seems that the connection between departments is malfunctioning. I can't get through to anyone. Secondly, I cannot access the updated databases. Thirdly, I haven't been able to find any information on holidays or transport malfunctions, and yet, we haven't had any customers for quite some time. Fourthly...
This is the help and support center, isn't it?
Third Person: Solitude.
It was closing time, and it had been another whole day with no customers. It didn't matter that all her colleagues had gone on a nice long vacation, Reverie was still capable of dealing with any customers that should come by. But there hadn't been any. Not today, and not yesterday, and not the day before, and not the day before that...
She quickly inspected the gift shop for any mess that she could clear up (but with no customers here today, there wasn't any), and then did the same in the theatre (and there was none here, either).
"What do you think of the planetarium?" she asked nobody in particular, as she walked around, double-checking for anything she could do, "That beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter when." She stopped to adjust a sign that always seemed to slip, every day. Satisfied that it was back in its correct position, she continued checking, and continued practising. "All the stars in all the sky are waiting for you," she said to herself, with a hint of pride.
