Me too (;_;)
The first thing I saw was the anime. And I don't remember it
anymore, but I guess I was confused while reading it. XD To me,
Hamlet will always be white.
@Lawlya
I don't remember that we discussed about the colors of the mice
back then.... I'm getting old. OTL
[member=5]listenforthelove[/member]
Ah, good to know. o.o
Ah, btw. I always wonder why Hamlet stayed with Shion in the
anime. I mean, okay, they didn't use the last book. But they
knew that one mouse is staying with Shion. Why not Tsukiyo...?
Is black paint too expensive? It's an absolutely unnecessary
change. ^^°

Okay, so some of you might already know this (I don't know how
clearly I spoke of this in the blog administration section ...)
but: I'm writing a Madoka Magica x No.6 crossover fanfiction.
Which means: No.6 characters in the world of Madoka Magica (so,
if you don't know that anime, watch it! It's great and
depressing ^^")
I more or less already gave each character a 'character role'
from the Madoka universe and everything's set up. But I'm having
problems with designing the assigned role for Elyurias to be
honest.
So, Elyurias is, as we all know, this big wasp:
HTML http://files.iiikl.net/c.ikunlun.net/attach/100/005/282/282.9.1c25b.jpg
Yes, that's very clear. So, her assigned role is that of Kyubey
or the Incubator:
HTML http://images.puella-magi.net/thumb/4/48/Kyuubey_Chara_Sheet.jpg/300px-Kyuubey_Chara_Sheet.jpg
Here's a link if you want to read a bit about Kyubey but it
contains spoilers!
HTML http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Kyubey
The role of this character is basically giving the Magical Girls
in the original anime their powers by making a contract with
them (not gonna tell you too much in case you haven't seen the
anime). That's why it's basically the perfect role for Elyurias
but you see ... if some big ass wasp came up to me and asked me
to make a contract with them - I would cry bloody murder and run
away as fast as I can.
I first thought about turning Elyurias into a bumblebee (since
ironically, I'm a bit wary of wasps but am totally in love with
bumblebees, okay?) but I'm not sure if that's any good. I'd like
to keep the rather neutral face that can easily be interpreted
as creepy and I think the face of an insect is kinda similar to
that. But I'm entirely not sure if it would be a good idea to
really make Elyurias an insect in this fanfiction and not rather
a more ... cuddly thing.
(Of course you could always give her a sort of loan body that
hides her true form which is an idea I'm rather fond of to solve
this problem but I'm just kinda ... not good designing anything
and usually need someone telling me if that's even a good idea
...)
Well, it would already help if you'd just tell me what you think
of the whole matter. Or if you have any suggestions - pictures
of Elyurias as Kyubey that popped up in your mind or something.
Anything, really. Everything's helpful and who knows what I'm
going to be able to work with ^^ [s](It's too late here; is that
even a sentence??)[/s]
[hr]
@Ahiku: It was over a year ago or so ... I just now remembered
and that we never actually solved that problem (until now) xD
And yeah, I wonder ... why did they keep Hamlet? Because he had
a better name? Because he had more screentime in the anime? Who
knows ...

@lawlya: ahhh! I think I did see you mention it once or twice,
actually, but I had no idea you were going to write a full fic.
That's awesome! I have not (yet) watched Madoka, but I've been
pretty thoroughly spoiled and read a running commentary blog on
the series, so I kind of know what it is about. (This is gonna
hurt a lot isn't it ;;; )
Hm, a bumblebee is a good alternative for Elyurias, though it
highly depends on whoever is gonna see her how they'd respond to
her (I think they're cute but I always freak out a little
whenever I see one because 'OMG IS THAT A WASP oh no wait it's
fluffy, phew'). Super fluffy and cuddly though. And less
sting-prone than wasps <<
There are some moths that are pretty cute (in my opinion, anyway
- I saw quite some people freaking out over them regardless), so
maybe that's also an option if you want to stick to insects?
... Let me google that... Ah, 'pink fluffy moth', thank you
google. XD This is the one
HTML https://www.google.nl/search?q=rosy+maple+moth&rlz=1C1CHFX_nlNL551NL551&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=653&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=IOOMVMzwCcOs7Aat-oCIDA&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ<br
/>I was thinking of.
@Ahiku: Guess Hamlet was singled out more in the anime? I think?
I mean, Tsukiyo got quite some solo tasks in the novels and was
quite different from the other two in that respect, but I don't
really recall that happening in the anime...
Maybe they just thought he'd go well with Shion's hair or
something.

(Depends on how easily you're hurt ... It's Madoka, what do you
expect xD?)
Yeah, that was one thing I was unsure about - not everyone deems
bumblebees less threatening than wasps xD But okay, good to see
that it makes a difference to you ^^
Oh yeah, that moth is absolutely stunning! Thinking of Elyurias
as a moth, I instantly thought of the colour gold ... Something
like this maybe:
HTML http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/golden-moth-christopher-holmes.jpg
What do you think of giving Elyurias a sort of host body that
they, as an alien species in the Madoka universe, created to
protect their true bodies? Kyubey is still a rather mysterious
character; you don't even know whether their bodies are their
real ones or just puppets ... Each time one gets killed, another
pops up - could be the same with Elyurias; everytime one of the
host bodies is destroyed, you see a little black wasps escape
before another appears nearby ...

I just had such a hard time finding this thread because who's
gonna search it in this board, really? Though it seems to make a
bit more sense considering it's about fanfiction and yeah ... oh
well.
So, this isn't anything really necessary and I'm definitely just
fishing for ideas here but ...
I'd like you people to tell me how you would imagine to feel the
presence of the No.6 characters - mainly Nezumi, Shion, Safu and
Inukashi. What I basically mean are associated attributes. Sort
of an aura.
I'd like to have three descriptions, if possible.
1. Brightness (you know: light, dark, grey, dawn, dusk; play
with lighting.)
2. Taste (here, you could tell me something rather specific but
I would be okay with simple directions such as sweet or spicy
too.)
3. Sensation (something for the touch. Smooth, prickly, cold,
warm. Something along these lines.)
Of course only if you like to do this at all :) But I would be
really interested in your thoughts ^^

@lawlya: oh wow I even forgot this thread was floating around
too! Whelp. Sorry about that.
Wow, that is one very interesting question (or well, 3) you have
there... Hm. Hmhmhmmm. Let's see.
Shion: for brightness, I'm going with light; more specifically,
dawn, as a bright sun is rising. (I have a lot of feelings about
light/darkness in No. 6, but I'll keep it simple to avoid
writing entire essays.) Nezumi canonically compares him to
light, and Shion has been giving hope to those around him. I'm -
I need to stop here before I end up writing that essay.
Taste- whoa, that's a difficult one. A soft kind of sweet? Not
overwhelmingly cotton-candy sugar sweet, but still sweet. Rather
milk chocolate than white. Dango?
Sensation: hmm, smooth I think. Definitely warm. I'd imagine
he's also a warm presence as in a warm kind of person. Cuddly.
I'm actually tempted to say 'dango' again, only less sticky XD
Poke him with a stick and he bounces right back into shape, that
feeling.
Nezumi: going with dusk for brightness. If only because I'm
never going to be able to shake off my initial thought that
'Eve' referred to the time of day and not the biblical figure.
-facepalms- and lots of other reasons, but yeah. Essay.
For taste, a little bitterness that you learn to appreciate.
Really, really dark chocolate. Matcha/green tea. Something like
that. (... apparently I have cravings for Japanese foods today,
hohum.)
Sensation: colder than Shion, but still surprisingly warm if you
get close enough. Hard around the edges, increasingly so when
agitated to the point of being impenetrable; poke him with a
stick and the stick breaks. Marble-like?
Safu: a partly clouded midday with open spots in the clouds the
sun keeps peeking through. Just cloudy enough to make you feel a
bit melancholic, but still bright as the sun will show its face
from time to time.
Taste: something inoffensive, but still with body. Plain white
rice, salmon. Milder tastes, at any rate. Nothing overly spicy
of sweet.
Sensation: I always want to hug her so I'm not objective when I
say soft and smooth, ahem. I still think so. Colder than Shion,
but way softer than you'd think based on that.
Inukashi: the light filtering through the leaves in a forest on
a sunny day. Splotches of sunlight and shadow. (Actually that
fits Nezumi too, but then under the late afternoon sun, making
the shadows darker and the sunlight less overwhelmingly bright.)
Taste: something with a bite. I'm torn between calling Inukashi
the sweet one or going with more bitter tastes. Something
outspoken, though. Ah sorry I can't be more specific here for
the moment.
Sensation: very warm, but hard - not as hard as Nezumi, but
still. Less marble and more - well, whatever is one of the
softest kinds of rock. More mouldable, closer to wax.
Did that help a bit or even make any sense at all? It's hard to
put these things in words - as it turns out now that I start
thinking about it, I do have some ideas about this, but it's
hard to put them into words, especially sensation.
I am very curious what you're planning to do with these now,
haha ;)

Ah, I agree a lot with listenforthelove… I think she’s
describing them very well. O.o
Shion is definitely bright, most of the time at least, but he
also has his shady sides. So I’d also go with dawn. I think he’s
the brightest and it’s a refreshing brightness. He reminds me of
a warm spring day.
So yeah, he’s warm and sweet. But like listenforthelove said,
not overly sweet. Warm and sweet and soft, maybe like a fruit
with a pit inside. When you bite that pit, he gets a little bit
bitter…
Nezumi is grey… so yeah, dawn. He’s more dark than light, but
not completely dark and if he can also play with light… Eve is
brighter than Nezumi. I’d also say he’s bitter, just like
listenforthelove said. Like dark chocolate or tea – bitterness
you can learn to appreciate. When Shion is a warm spring day,
I’d say Nezumi is more like an autumn day with changeable
weather. He could be cold or pretty warm, not as warm as Shion,
but he can be very gentle. Maybe like a rubber ball, it’s hard,
but also slightly soft… and not totally solid when you try to
squeeze it… if you throw it, it can get really hard and you can
hurt someone with it, but you can also destroy it easily, for
example with a knife.
Ah, I also think Safu is like a cloudy summer day… She can be
very straightforward and also a bit embarrassing, so I could
imagine it’s the air of that summer day is heavy, but then a
fresh breeze arises… since she can also be very understanding.
I’d say she’s umami. XD Not sweet, not sour, not salty, not
spicy… but umami. Savory and tasty. Hm, I’d also say she’s
colder than Shion, but still warm and also soft.
Inukashi reminds me of a warm summer day. Bright, but there are
also shadows. I think Inukashi gives off a pretty warm
atmosphere… And I’d say slightly spicey, sweet – spicey… maybe
like a Chili with sweet corn and beans but with a subtle
spiciness. Hmm…but maybe also bitter… I don’t really know. XD
[member=5]listenforthelove[/member]
Hm, something like clay? You can form it easily… if you burn it,
it can be pretty hard but also fragile. As long as it is soft,
it’s pretty moldable. It can be soft, but also hard. Depends… I
think that’s fitting.

Whoops, I wrote my interpretation "essay" while I was at work
with too much free time. ;~; sorry it's long.
Nezumi:
1. (Brightness) To me, his aura is darkness, it's shrouded in
mystery. He doesn't give much air about himself, except a hint
of elegance (with his posture and the way he moves himself) and
forwardness about him. When Nezumi is being threatening, I
imagine his presence would be akin to a wild beast. It's very
red and black mixed together and very muddled and menacing. I
see Nezumi as dark and very solid colors (black, purple, grey,
red), though there are times when I see him as lavender (when he
is being soft to Shion).
2. (Taste) I imagine he'd taste salty for some reason. He also
reminds me a bit of a bitter tea that's healthy for you. (Or
unhealthy, I dunno!) (off-topic: I imagine he'd smell nice
though - maybe he'd smell a bit like the rain or a very, very
small hint of flowers/nature.)
3. (Sensation) I think Shion always said that Nezumi's fingers
were cold, but I imagine his chest being very warm. Nezumi's
face is probably cold too. I think some parts of him would be
rough and callused too. He'd feel very fierce and strong.
Shion:
1. (Brightness) Shion makes me think of pastel colors. At least,
before he goes all Yandere (in which case, I imagine he'd adopt
similar colors to Nezumi.) I always imagine Shion in bright
lighting, with orange and yellow. (Maybe those colors just
complement his red scar and white hair well... Mm...) I think
it's also because of this contrast that I love Nezushi so much.
2. (Taste) if I say he would taste soft, would that make sense?
maybe a little sweet too. Like softly baked bread fresh from the
oven; warm, soft, sweet, melts in your mouth, and very
satisfying. Shion tastes like a dinner roll.
3. (Sensation) Shion's warm, his fingers and hands are delicate
and soft. He's scrawny and wouldn't be very comfy to hug since I
imagine he's all skin and bones.
Safu:
I haven't looked in depth into Safu's character so I can't say
I've got a good handle on her. But this is just my
interpretation..
1. (Brightness) She's bold and maybe colorful. I don't know if I
would call her warm or cold, just very neutral. I see her in
white. I guess she's like Shion in that there are times when her
colors become very strong. She has solid colors, but she's not
the dark sort. I think in terms of lighting, she will always be
in a brightly lit place.
2. (Taste) Safu tastes like something that would linger in your
mouth for a very long time. Her presence is strong and it's
something that not everyone would like. I want to say she'd
taste like coffee... Maybe a cappuccino? There's a lot of foam
and milk to make it sweet, but it's not entirely sweet persay.
It's still strong enough and has a good kick.
3. (Sensation) I imagine she's soft and very nice to hug. I
really want to hug her now. *_*
Inukashi:
1. (Brightness) His colors remind me of brown and green a bit. I
see him shrouded in a bit of dusky lighting, kind of dark yet
kind of light. It's that kind of time around sunset just before
you turn the lights on.
2. (Taste) I think if you kiss a dog, that's what Inukashi would
taste like. Maybe a little bitter and a little salty. A lot of
hair.
3. (Sensation) Inukashi would be very soft too! Regardless of
whatever gender he is.
---
XD I love how we all managed to associate Nezumi with tea and
confirm that Safu is super huggable.
I also like the idea of Inukashi being clay! It suits him very
well. owo I think I started thinking in terms of huggability
after Nezumi for sensation. >_>;;
I hope this helps. owo
