A unique little die who stands out among the crowds and crowds of the other red Pippinses for their green theme and much more emotional nature. (they're short-tempered and anxious, to put it short.)Over time she became a bit attached to Tenna despite knowing she had absolutely 0 chance with Tenna in general. As the story went on, this lead to her taking up the role of Mike, eventually dragging in her two closest friends (A Shadowguy and a Zapper)She's known those two for the longest time, and they got along initially for each standing out in some way among their peers. Funnily, they started to become suspicious of this Pippins' suddenly sneaky nature, pressuring her to fess up, which lead to her dragging the two into the Mike gig now that 'the secret's out'.Eventually, the three were found out by a certain group, but still persisted in keeping up their act, be it for Tenna or, in this one's personal case- "feeling important". The jokes, in-costume, about wanting to be 'the main Mike' just further hinting at the silly little crush on Tenna, primarily - seeing it more than just 'being his assistant'.Despite that, Battat feels like Tenna would never genuinely care for what's beneath the costume. Rather. Battat knows this.
[Battat's own original Tenna has not been the nicest to her outside the costume ...]
Other Tidbits
genderfluid portrayal, any/all is fine. uses strictly he/him in the costume.They're shorter and slightly younger than the other Pippinses.They're super self-conscious about their Pippins form and everything about it - more reason they preferred being in-costume than out. Maybe they'll come to terms with this, too, one day. Somehow.Once she's in the costume, everything else is seemingly suppressed. It's like an entirely different person.They care deeply for their two friends - trusting them more than anyone else with everything and allowing them to see past the rough exterior..She doesn't let onto it too easily, but she really, REALLY admires (and even has feelings for) the other two Mikes. Terrified of rejection, as usual, she doesn't let onto this.She and the other two Mikes helped with modding Ramb's Mantle game into The Legend of Tenna- with his supervision of course.Ramb potentially caught onto the three's actual identity beneath, but never cared to say a thing. Potentially.She's a black/green marbled D20. She came in a set, but it's unknown where the other dice went.They don't know how they get their nicknames, but don't protest, adapting to whatever anyone wants to call them. Their real name is unknown and may as well be their number.The name they're most attached to and even claim as their own is: Battat・They like the meaning of the name itself.Picked up a mild smoking habit from her Shadowguy Friend who does it too.Absolutely loves Battery Acid despite the pain. ...This die's a little weird. Make of that what you will.
Still primarily lives off of coffee and energy drinks, though.
Physical attributes
They have some strange looks going on due to being a different-type of Die. A lot of which they feel self-conscious over.
That being:
Green Limbs・Sharp Teeth・Gold Number direction indicators under each eye (ie, the dots under the 6/9 pips on a typical D20.)・green eyelashes・slightly-glittery eyes・black marbling beneath the limbs (only seen when hurt)・
VC:
In my head, she sounds somewhere between Peridot (SU) and Stephanie Sheh (VA for Tharja of FE and Usagi Tsukino of Sailor Moon's new dub.)
As Mike? TBA. Haven't found an apt comparison, yet.

The version of 276 from a future instance, who's weirdly overly-obsessed with Tenna. Initially taking on the role of Mike to figure a few things out for himself, like the mysteries behind Mike, and wanting to learn more about the Boss himself.For a Pippins, he's a little less 'carefree and laid back' comapred to the usual Pippins, which makes him a bit of an odd-one-out, or so he feels, to the other Pippins. He's a little bit more emotional and serious compared to the others as well, which is seen as rather unusual as well. Just like the normal-self.Darkners typically aren't supposed to act like this, so this one would try to push this off and act a bit more like a 'typical Pippins', especially pushing away - or trying to, their feelings for Tenna. They struggled to embrace the fact they're genuinely in-love with Tenna and it's more than just some superficial attraction. Moreso covered up with how they're so dedicated to being Mike (and even wanting to be the 'main Mike' !). Whether they're found out or not, about their 'secret identity', they're still rather dedicated to the role of 'Mike', specifically for Tenna.Upon getting the crystal and going through changes, 276 has ingrained the Mike persona she had prior, into her own personality, considering herself the 'real one' - Continuing the prior mentioned fact. She had always considered the relationship between herself and Tenna to be deeper than it was- even though Tenna did not see it that way initially, leaning into her obsession with him and unwavering dedication.She may be a bit more 'mad' now, but her love for Tenna is all the same. 'Always there, never not.'
The shadowcrystal allows them to see into 'timelines' of other iterations of self, and lately, it's been able to let her guide them into other ones (blatantly: drag them there. Only with HER other selves.)Was/Is meant to be one of the timeline's Mike. As in, not a disguise - the real one. A re-assignment. It's gotten to her head a bit...

A version of 276 who's been trying to solve the mysteries of Spamton who had seemingly gone missing after getting some strange phonecalls.Has often come close to cracking the case and is very, VERY suspicious of her Tenna, but said Tenna will not ever let the secret be revealed. This Tenna has a way to suppress Midori's memories, making her start from near-scratch every time. The only way she can remember anything is if she had recorded it on her corkboard, prior.

The nickname is an affectionate thing given by her Tenna - May also still be referred to as 'Battat'.

The past version of 276 from the Big Shot era. She still stands out among the crowds and crowds of the other red Pippinses for her green theme and much more emotional nature.She's Tenna's personal secretary and happens to also have strong feelings for her boss. Initially she took up this job to keep behind the scenes and not be noticed too much by others for standing out. Though over time she developed feelings for Tenna as well, not thinking her Boss could possibly like back 'some Pippins'. It didn't stop her from liking him.Though, once the initial Laptop was brought home, and Spamton enterted the scene, Mippins became bitter because of Tenna's instant attachment to the mailman, when she was here beforehand. Though the real thing which pisses her off, is how Spamton treated Tenna, and Tenna just letting herself get walked all over. (initially.)

Muses and writer are adults.
All the characters I write are multiship/poly with no gender preference
I'm ok with shipping any character so long as they are both adults.
Despite the aforementioned implied-crush for some of them here, I'm ok with anything so long as the rule above is followed.
I won't do lewd on the TL. At all. Jokes/implications are fine, of course. I don't mind flirts/kissing/cuddling/ect, and such. Anything too much, can be moved to DMs - lewd or not. (I only get suggestive with close friends. Still no blatant lewd.)
Feel free to message me if you wish to know anything further or just to ask anything.

The 'man himself' as he would put it. The one who appears once Battat puts on the costume.
He's regarded as a different person, as in truth- he is. He came to be from the stress of Battat picking up what was left behind after Spamton's dissappearance- and taking Mike with him.
A mix of wanting to keep the studio together and wanting to feel important for once in their 'miserable life'. Though between the life of Mike and their own, things were more stressful than need be. Often retreating into the costume to escape, and becoming someone entirely different than usual... To the point Mike came to be as a means for Battat to feel safe.
Mike as himeself, is just about the total opposite of Battat. Much more confident and flashy. He seems to know what he's doing more often than not, and is less afraid to speak his mind. He's just as dedicated as Battat, as their main shared trait and will do anything to help out the Boss, yet-unrealising of how Battat is treated by Tenna when he's not there. Said treatment being most of the reason he's here to begin with.
Lefthand: for the reasoning of the dots under her eyes.
Righthand: more like the actual design/colours.
