MPC Number: 85C
Reward: Posts.
Once upon a time, I did this on another character for posts--my first character you, dear reader, likely met, six years ago in the year 2015. It was a fun read, born out of passion and spite for the tribulations I had witnessed upon our lovely forum.
IF you had thought that I was only going to do that once, think again, fucko, I'm just as depraved and desperate for a number to go up as some other poor shmuck with the green title on Discord, and I'm going to crack out not one, but TWO bangers just to do it by going through an elaborate character analysis in an effort to convince YOU that I do, in fact, deserve a number of posts more on top of everything I already owe.
Because guess what, I'm Bass, I can fucking do that. You think people can stop me? Guess again, most of the higher-ups LIKE what I put out. So, let's begin with the familiar with a fresh coat of paint.
Mantis is, as many might know on an out of character level, the reincarnation of one of my oldest Digimon OCs--a Kotemon by the name of Kappy. Kappy himself has a rather colored history, having been the lethal joke character of another forum who had inexplicably gained staying power with both the paragons of said forum, and those who were responsible for starting a slow and ugly decline.
I was never able to figure out why that was the case, if I'm being honest. He was just a Kotemon who spoke in memes and unironically had Freddy Fazbear's voice from Five Nights at Fuckboy's (a genuinely interesting series of shitpost RPGs?) as a vocal reference because I thought it was -really- funny. Why?
Get this.
I was literally 16.
My humor was top notch back then. Impeccable. Like the razor's edge of edgy we see on this forum nowadays. It was by no means immature at all, no sir. Not at all. But, like most people, I got older. I stopped seeing why this was so funny. I stopped having fun.
That there's why this guy didn't ever appear on an actual application for a very long time. Until I got the best idea. Have him be reincarnated and give himself a dumb alias akin to some of the plot characters on ANOTHER site because I like poking fun at that.
However, Kappy and Mantis alike do not really shine alone, that much I know. I know bringing back Kappy in some capacity's pretty poggers and all, based, yes, but there needed to be a counterbalance in order to keep the idea grounded for the sake of this great post heist. To ensure that this wasn't some one note character like oodles upon oodles of tropes I've seen in my time, be it from banned admins or otherwise.
On the old forum, that was Naoki's sister, Reika. You might see her around as an NPC--and an actual data wraith, a ghost. She's dead here. Sorry, I can't have humans that survived being blown up at the waist. Too powerful, you see. Some don't draw the line at dimensional travel, I draw the line at using the power of destiny to survive a funny attack.
I also didn't think I'd get away with apping a dead girl, so...I just came up with someone new. That is how Miyako Isa was conceptualized. A fresh slate of a human for an old face to hang around with. She doesn't have much going for her outside of she's a human with a condition that means she can't really exist normally without super careful precautions.
And she's very sheltered.
So clearly, this is the world's most based teenager/preteen. I won't lie when I say she's a refreshing perspective compared to what I'm used to but like Mantis she doesn't really shine alone.
Together, they form a comedic duo that, like Reika and Kappy, hold the capability to be a literary force of nature. Recapturing that feeling is what I'm striving to do, and recapturing that feeling and KEEPING IT rather than allowing it to fade like a dozen apped characters with no posts whatsoever.
No, I won't allow Kappy as a concept to fade away again.
That'd be an insult to the good I objectively did with him back all those years ago. That'd be an insult to my friends who wanted him back.
So, yeah, that's ultimately a really weird stream of consciousness that I'm pretty sure dunks on at least 9 people for the sake of comedic value interlaced with an actual bit of thought on how I got here with these two. Oh, did I mention they might or might not be involved with two plots? One of my own making (yet I'm not going to be a showboaty screwhead and go 'hehehe this is going to be le epic!' or anything) on complete accident and another in the form of the ExD plot?
Yeah, that's probably gonna be fun. But I'm going to need to actually make sure they get there. I need those posts for that. Sure, it's a pittance. But every post counts. Slowly, yet surely, I will ascend, I will become the true gamer this forum needs. I will become Bassed.
Okay, that was admittedly kind of terrible, but I think you know what I'm going for here. Really, the nostalgia value that is Kappy in another form should sell one enough, but I can't BANK on nostalgia when so few really remember Kappy. And I did address the reader directly at the beginning, Spire, so I really just wrote myself into a hole there. Or a corner.
Also, I wanna finally be able to write a Gaioumon in proper action without being stuck on File Island for over a year, that'd be really radical. I could totally repeat this MPC a few times too because it's actually a fun thought exercise to put down a stream of consciousness interlaced with "please give me postie roasties."

Pls.
