About 002・Battat
II. THE HIGH PRIESTESS ⋮ Reversed
✦✧✦
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, anxious, and insecure, to put it short.)Over time she became a bit attached to Tenna despite knowing she had absolutely no chance with Tenna in general. As the general 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, at the same time trying to excuse and push off the face she was clearly overwhelmed with something, pressuring her to fess up, which lead to her dragging the two into the Mike gig (from her POV), now that 'the secret's out'. (From the other two's POV, they were willingly wanting to help out the overworked Pippins)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' - doubling both in and out of costume.Despite that, Battat feels like Tenna would never genuinely care for what's beneath the costume- just a Pippins. Regardless of all she's done and how she's always been there, never not.
At the same time, her boss drives her up a wall with his clinginess towards the Mike persona and the contrast into how he brushes off the Pippins underneath.
...Her feelings towards her boss being considerably hot and cold.
Alas, she can't let the secret out.
Other Tidbits
genderfluid portrayal, any/all is fine. tends to lean more fem with they/she・primarily he/they when costumed, to match with Jongler's identity as Mike.
Essentially okay with being referred to with anything.Pippins No. 002, right after Cool Pippins, following the idea that Cool Pippins is 001.They're shorter and slightly younger than the other Pippinses. (more detail below.)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 and stubborn 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 and harbouring a lot of self-doubt - she tries her best not to let onto this. ⋮ "They would never like me that way, right?"...She's the type to bottle up and bury her feelings until a breaking point. Still, trying - emphasis on trying, not to show such a vulnerable side, even if everything is falling apart.
═════════════════════════════════════
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 (Primarily, Battat's), but never cared to say a thing.
═════════════════════════════════════
She's a black/green marbled D20. She came in a set, but it's unknown where the other dice went.The name they're most attached to and even claim as their own is: Battat・They like the meaning of the name itself.In-tandem, she does enjoy the Cat Petterz minigames and considers herself to be quite good at Battat, hence why she 'hosts' it, and took upon using the name of the game as her own, beyond just a contract number.
(How nerdy.)On the topic of being nerdy, she (still) carries around a notepad, in which she can jot down notes and thoughts as they come to mind. It's the primary place she keeps track of her Mike Theories... And anything else she deems important to remember.
It's nestled away in her poncho somewhere.On the topic of little hobbies and such - I imagine she made her costume, and got very particular with the details. (Adding her own flair here and there)
They've gotten rather good with a thread and needle over the years and have an easy time patching up costumes and different outfits - along with putting together new ones. Very useful for other things in TV world, as well, and generall was one of their side-tasks as one who worked 'behind the scenes'....Definitely made herself her very own Tenna plushie utilising her newfound hobby.
═════════════════════════════════════
Picked up a mild smoking habit from their 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.Primarily lives off of coffee and energy drinks, though. Really, this one is bad at taking care of herself and is too hooked to working to even care for sleeping properly, or even eating anything proper beyond a scrounged up snack or two or the occasional gift from co-workers.On a similar note, Battat has a hard time accepting compliments and gifts from others (let alone confessions), often wondering if theres some underlying reason, or a 'catch' to the whole thing. They're too used to standing out and being weird or unaccepted by most. Feeling like their position in the studio, would lead to a few wanting to take advantage of them.On the topic of feelings … they get crushes easily and feel like that's all it'll ever be. Anyone having feelings for them? Impossible - so their mind tells them …
(Insecurities mentioned earlier)
――――――――――――・
"Dating? There definitely has to be a catch." - she will slowly develop out of all of this self-doubt.

[The 'headcanons' for the trio here are personal and wont be forced on any one else's portrayals. If you like them, that's ok, you're free to use/borrow as you see fit. But when interacting, I will go along with anyone else's portrayal lore for their own.]
Profiles initially linked with this Battat, lorewise.
Tenna
Spamton
Pluey
Jongler
[Despite having 'lore connections', I'm okay with forming any connections with others - the character can definitely be standalone for anything else. I will regard it as such.]
Physical attributes
This version of Battat is shorter than the average (approx) Pippins at: 121.92cm(4ft) - that is, if one sees the avg Pippins at 152.4cm(5ft)
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 arms with a slightly glittery sheen・Sharp Teeth・Gold freckles・green tipped eyelashes・glittery eyes (Seen in a certain light)・very, very slightly green sclera (Seen in a certain light)・slit-pupils・black marbling beneath the limbs (only seen when hurt)・directly after a molt, the arms are a translucent black with dark-green shine that's almost metallic.・debatable if the eyelids are painted or manually applied makeup of sorts. (considering its hard plastic material...)
VC:
In my head, she sounds a bit like the way Stephanie Sheh voices Tharja, but less 'ominous and creepy' and just a bit... gloomy? This Battat's nature is much less 'intense' after all.
It has that slight nasaliness to it, and is high-pitched, but with a moody-tone. (Does anything I say here make sense?)
The same as the others, but they're more 'cutesy', akin to how Sheh voices Tsukino Usagi.
Battat can have that 'cute' tone to herself too, when she's excited or flustered.
The way she talks in general can be compared to that of Lapis Lazuli (from SU)
As Mike? TBA. Haven't found an apt comparison, yet.
═════════════════════════════════════
More on her voice:
It cracks a lot, embarrassingly so. Primarily when she's angry. She tries to refrain from raising her voice unnecessarily to prevent this embarrassment. It seems to happen anyway considering her short temper.
(Not to mention it happens when she's flustered, too...)

MIKE - SEVEN OF SWORDS
A version of Battat from a potential-future instance, who's become 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, Battat 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. They're considered like parallels to herself/the events in her life.)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...Tenna's personal nickname for her is 'Midori' - may still be referred to any name. Primarily likes 'Mike' however.
Development via RP:
- development which started on the greenpippins account, but moved to this one, where Battat (also goes by Mippins, Midori, ect), recieved a shadowcrystal from Mike, eventually being coaxed into looking into it by FRIEND, which was the beginning of her ineviteable madness.
- A variant of Tenna who she got into an arguement of sorts with, snapped her head off in a gruesome way (shattering her neck entirely, not in the normal way a pippins can take it's head off) this momentarily killed her. A Kris revived her, which in turn, merged her shadowcrystal with her. Now she has shiny-green resin all over her neck, filling in cracks. (Covered by bowtie and string)
-Sometime later, the situation with the crystal began getting worse, and putting a strain on he and Tenna's relationship, for things that Mike had little to no control over. She was later confronted by Tenna's daughter with Spamton: Static, over how Mike was hurting Tenna and making him feel awful all the time. This whole event snapped some sense into Mike- even if she's still stuck with the Crystal. She makes an effort to try and keep things under control, even if it puts a lot of strain on her body and mind.
-Sometime later, somehow had a child with her husband - a little Pippins with antennae and digital eyes ... which upset Static, as she began to worry and panic that she was once again, being forgotten. During this, Mike assured Tenna that he could handle the little one and urged him to comfort Static in return.
Despite the past event, Mike does worry about her, and wouldn't want to make her feel left out and forgotten. However, as of now, she's a bit afraid to approach as she worried Static detests her.

Battat - 'Midori'
A version of battat 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'.
Bluesky Profile -- Profile in hiatus.
random info im keeping here:
Presumably served under Spades King during the short time they were in Card Kingdom. .. So they think they recall.
Thanks to Mike, and her string-pulling, a good deal of Battat's past memories are a bit jumbled and out of place.
This tidbit is debatable if it's true or not, or simply something fabricated by Mike for the sake of some form of continuity or to not raise suspicion.

Battat - 'Mippins'
PAGE OF PENTACLES
A parallel-past version of (my main) Battat 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.)

more backstory tba
Development via RP
- was at a point, captured by Security and spent time in that imprisonment, leading to her and Spamton hating eachother less. She's on better terms with Spamton, will still tease him and make jokes. Still kind of worries if it's okay for Tenna to be affectionate with her. Doesn't necessarily want to get in the way of anything. ( Will learn that it's not a problem )
- A couple of instances, her loyalty to Tenna has nearly gotten her killed with trying to help her Boss out, but her mentality is that 'It's okay, because i'm a Pippins'
- At some point, she began to look after a young girl who had been staying in the studio, named Tamara, eventually considering her like an adoptive child of her own. (to which, not long after, had her own kid with Diamond.) She's surprisingly more motherly and protective than one would think, being defensive over Tamara when danger is around, and going out of her way to give the young girl her own room, space and anything else she'd need. She's also willing to look after Tenna's and Spamton's little one as well.
- thanks to her insecurities, she almost left her studio to be with an alternate-timeline, thrown out version of her Boss. Merely because said version was being more loving and affectionate towards Mippins than "(my) Tenna ever would". This has been resolved, but she may have some secret fondness for that Tenna, as well.
For some reason, she keeps attracting/gravitating towards different Spamtons. This doesn't account for the main Battat or Mike, as she parallels the younger days of each, respectively - Both Battat and Mike each dislike Spamton, as theirs were irredeemable jerks (save for spammymailman - Mike's Spamton. whose developed from being as MUCH of an irredeemable jerk. He's a normal jerk now. As for the other - Battat's Spamton... he's on par with thorn-ring.)
Regardless ...
There's Something Wrong With This Die.

Muses and writer are adults.
All the characters I write are multiship/poly with no gender preference
(Even MIKE, who is married, is open for relationships. )
I'm ok with shipping any character so long as they are both adults. Some chemistry between the two would be nice, too...
Despite the aforementioned implied-crush for Battat, 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, whatever the other writer is more comfortable with. (I only get overly-suggestive with close friends/those who I know are okay with this sort of topic. Still no blatant lewd.)
Feel free to message me if you wish to know anything further or just to ask anything.
════════════════════════════════════
I'm incredibly shy/nervous to ask if it's even ok for my portrayals to even have crushes - to the point it's rare i'll go through with it/even flirt ic unless the other party does it first... or we're friends and I know you're ok with it.
On that note: if you wish to be removed from here, message me. I usually ask as-is if it's okay to add someone on here, but if things change, please inform me.
About MIKE
✦✧✦
The Micro Phone who croons and groans.
Art: velvetstrings_
The 'man himself' as he would put it. The one who appears, more often than not, once Battat puts on the costume.
He's regarded as a different person, and in truth- he is. Simply put: He's an alter.
He came to be from the stress of Battat picking up what was left behind after Spamton's effect on the studio, into his 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, knowing how Battat is treated by Tenna when he's not there. Said treatment being most of the reason he's here to begin with.

✦✧✦WHY are my accounts MDNI?✦✧✦
I realise I want to delve into darker and more serious topics sometimes, and every now and then also.. I may make an innapropriate/dirty joke here and there.
Sometimes my muses get flirty and it may lean into "freak" territory without doing blatant lewd.
STILL.
I do not want minors to see ANY of this sort of content.
[elaborated a bit more here.]
It's seriously nothing personal and you're free to follow the accounts that don't go with this rule (non-utdr, mostly.)
idk inspiration.
insert joke about battat kin page or something, lol.
