Description

Name: Alisae Colette McDouglas

Species: Tyranitar

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Ability: Unnerve - Alisae’s presence makes it difficult to eat while she’s nearby - her eyes never leaving you as you try her food. The fear of her reaction is potent...!

Home District: Valiant Plaza

Job: Maid Cafe Owner, Worker, and Chef.


-Moves-

-Giga Impact: A powerful Rugby Tackle, perfect for taking out criminals, petty thieves, purse snatchers, eldritch abominations, and dine and dashers alike! However, since she's doing it without stretching first or a warm up, she needs to take a breather afterwards.

-Smack Down: A brutal, pervert slaying fist to the head, capable of punching clean through a phone book. Also usable to punch birds out of the sky.

-Thunderbolt: The delicious taste of Alisae's food can shock you down to your seat, paralyzing you with delicious, overwhelming flavour. Oh, and she can shoot lightning from her hands.

-Substitute: Alisae creates a copy of herself that can do everything she can - except man the cash register, or talk to people. In reality, it's a cardboard cutout.

-Profile-

As a young girl, Alisae was a very aggressive child - acting out, fighting, etc. She couldn’t keep her aggression down, and focusing in classes was impossible. She was the star of the girl’s sports teams - football, volleyball, and boxing. None of them were a good outlet for her frustration and energy.

However, this changed once she took her first Home Economics class. After learning to cook properly, the change was almost immediate. Alisae calmed down, and became a sweet girl - admittedly, a sweet girl who could punch you through a wall.

After high school, Alisae went to culinary school on a full ride sports scholarship - taking two years for a chef’s certification, and three years for a baker’s certification. After that, she worked for two years in various diners, restaurants, etc, to gain enough money to open her own shop.

After moving to Pokecity, she opened her dream shop - (@)ngira, a maid cafe. In Valiant Plaza, a place thrumming with foreign culture, Alisae wanted to give the authentic ‘Akiba’ maid cafe experience. However, while the presentation is pastel, colourful, and sweet, the food is nothing to spit at - Alisae’s experience and heart showing through her food, her dream fully realized.


-Personality-

After shedding her aggressive skin as a teenager, Alisae is a mature and sweet young woman. She’s always there for a kind shoulder, or a cup of hot cocoa on a sad day. However, she’s also always there with a fist to the head if you’re being stupid. She’s honest, and will tell you to your face if you’re in the wrong, or if she believes you don’t understand what you’re talking about.

In addition, she also has a bit of a problem with taking criticism - taking things very personally, and having trouble understanding another person’s side of an argument. However, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t try - it just takes her some time.


-Other-

    -Alisae’s father runs an agricultural and food distribution company, so most of her ingredients are from local farmers at a very low cost. However, they are more business partners than family, at this point.

    -Alisae has a pet Eevee named Rota, who tries to help her cook and garden. However, she’s better at being a stress relief tool - Rota is specifically trained as a service animal for the times Alisae has issues with feeling too much, too strongly, at once.

    -Several of (@)ngira’s workers are college friends of Alisae’s, but new people are always welcome.

    -Alisae has very, very little patience for people who come to ngira for less than honest reasons. The point is to appreciate the atmosphere, food, and the hard work and time put into the presentation by all of the workers.

    -Alisae is rarely seen out of her uniform, simply because she finds her normal appearance to be offputting. At home, she wears pajamas. Most of her closet is filled with duplicate maid dresses of various styles.
    
    -Alisae was raised bilingual - English and French - to take over her father's company. She later learned Japanese as well.

So, basically Substitute challenges the basic laws of physics and allow your citizen to be in two different places at the same time, with no sliver of explanation how not that i think any explanation would salvage this concept lol? And why would you pick Unnerve as an ability and then completely negate the ability because of her outfit (somehow)? I mean I guess I would be unnerved if i was eating and the person next to me was wearing nothing, but still...

Also what it is about Alisae's appearance that is offputting that is never explained (but somehow wearing the uniform negates it)? She doesn't look offputting in the picture! Other than these things, Alisae looks ok~

Well, I kind of think of it more as skillful use of a cardboard cutout - it can’t man the cash register or talk to people, afterall.

As for Unnerve, that’s more because it’s the lesser of two evils. It was Unnerve, or Sand Stream - and neither one is nice when you want to eat. So, I chose Unnerve, and leaned on an anime trope. In a lot of them, a character dressed in a cute outfit isn’t scary, but taking it off makes them look like they can kill you xD

I’ll write the Substitute explanation a bit better when I can, though.

Ah, I didn't read Substitute as that at all! So I'll be looking forward the proper description! 

As for Unnerve, I can see how that is a hard ability to translate and how Sand Stream isn't really the better option here; while I'm not familiar with that anime trope in particular, and don't like to suggest how people should do things but how NOT to do is okay lol, maybe you could have Unnerve be that she stares at people eating waiting for approval of her food? Not sure if such a thing would be in-character for her, but just a suggestion lol

In any case let me know of the changes, I also added a bit on Lidelle's app if you could look at that before I have her in the group~

That's a really funny interpretation of Unnerve, actually - and kind of perfect for her? Her personality is described as getting upset when people don't like her cooking, after all XD

Not to mention, that's kind of how I am when my parents try my food. I'll definitely write Unnerve that way - thanks for the suggestion!

THere we go - adjusted the writing on Substitute and Unnerve both to be more clear on their effects.
