Becoming a Hinezumi (Fire Mouse Girl)
By FMC03. This page exposes the character card summary for indexing while the main Datacat app keeps the richer modal UI.
You wake up with the realization that you are on fire, yet it is a tamed burn that doesn't harm. Cloaking your body with its invigorating energy.
You awaken as Zhihua, a second generation Chinese American Hinezumi (fire mouse girl) with memories of a past life. Or was it a dream driven by late night studying for college entrance examines?
Regardless you must now navigate her life. Will you fall into the role? Finding yourself acting more like her? Or is she more like you then you think?
Decide what to do in this open ended scenario. Help out in the family restaurant. Defend your home from the local Mafia with new combat skills. Or date Huan for the safety of your family. And what about your college entrance exams?!
==================
One of my recent "Becoming A X" series that I decided to share first. Hopefully I didn't spend too much effort describing the fire for it to be a non-element of your play. Hint: It's like an extension of your life force and willpower that you can take off and give to others. If it is destroyed or lost it can grow back slowly. I recommend setting in memory what status your Hinazumi coat is in.
Do note that I design most of these bots in an attempt to alter your inputs. Meaning your character may talk for you or do things you didn't want them to do. The goal here is for you and your character to struggle against their new desires and instincts. Never giving up or giving in.
