NAME: Laughing Beauty
CANON: Metal Gear Solid 4
CANON POINT: After being defeated by Snake
AGE: 21 (not specified in canon, but Drebin says all the B&Bs are “around 20”)
BACKGROUND: Here!
PERSONALITY:
The thing about Laughing Beauty is that she has two different personalities she presents in her canon: the Beauty and the Beast. Before Snake faces her in battle against her Beauty form, she seems to start to come to terms with both sides of herself, though it will be a while before she'll really be able to figure out who she really is.
Her Beast persona was something she created in her mind, shortly after a traumatic event, to try to cope with what she was forced to do. A big part of that is that she can be very sadistic in battle; it's said that she laughs the hardest when she's in the middle of one, though part of that may be due to the endorphins that get released in her system through her nanomachines during combat. Though her mind has begun to sober from this more violent side of herself, it'll still be something repressed within her. In fact, if she gets in a battle, there's a possibility she'd get so wrapped up in it that someone else might have to drag her away from it. I believe this stems from her history of being overpowered by the cult from her past and being terrified of ever being put in that position again — if she's stronger than her enemy, then they can't force her to do something terrible again.
With her canon point in mind, however, the Beauty side will be seen the most from her. When her armor first comes off, she still tries to continue her Beast persona, but in just mere seconds, she has a breakdown and apologizes to Snake for laughing, told him that she was scared, and then swore that she'd never laugh again. Then a few seconds later, she starts hysterically laughing again and tries to kill him. However, wouldn't be the type to try to kill everyone, as it was a specific mission of hers to kill Solid Snake in hope of getting a peace of mind and likely would have to have a good reason to try to kill someone else (whether it be for self-preservation or a reward impossible to ignore). As she recovers, there's still going to be a few different things that are sure to trigger feelings of anxiety within her, particularly if she feels defenseless. Though she might get too obsessed with the idea of protecting herself (or rather killing everything she sees as a threat, if she gets too out of hand). Most people, though, probably wouldn't intimidate her enough in most conversations, unless they're directly antagonizing her.
Being more used to living as a Beast for at least the last few years of her life, she is going to be very skittish and confused by trying to live as a normal person again (as she had been used as a tool of war since at least her early teens until very recently). However, as a master of stealth and mimicry, it's possible that her talents will prove to be useful, in the form of blending into her surroundings. She'd do her best to understand the culture of the world and attempt to appear as normal as possible. There's also a possibility that if she bonds with a person enough, that she'll start to try to copy traits of theirs that she admires. Even the dimmest of people will probably be able to tell that there's something off about her, because of her compulsive laughter, but that'd likely be the only hint she'd give off otherwise.
One trait that could be seen as good or bad is that she can be very playful, though it can cross into condescending if she's in conflict. In her battle, she challenges people to find where she's hiding, taunts the player if she evades their attacks, and will laugh harder if one should fall in a trap she sets up. However, in a normal day, this more fun side to her might be mischievous at worst, but could also prove to be a more lighthearted side to her personality as well.
Also, considering how she seemingly has no qualms in pressing herself against the player in very suggestive ways, this can lend into the fact that she can be very flirty and uninhibited if the mood is right. This, along with the fact that she's completely comfortable with her body (she modeled for magazines in game), it likely won't take her long at all to adapt to the touchy-feely ways of the game.
POWERS/ABILITIES:
NATURAL SKILLS (without need for her powered suit or nanomachines):
–Can use a gun decently
–Can perfectly mimic any voice (She not only imitated another woman’s voice, but a man’s as well). Because of this, she likely could sing very well, if she chose to.
–Speaks a few different languages. She speaks English in game, but as she grew up somewhere in Scandinavia, I’m going to say she knows Norwegian and Swedish as well. It’s also mentioned that she led a unit based in France, so at least a basic understanding of French is likely.
NANOMACHINES (I’m so sorry, this is going to be needlessly complicated because the MGS series has a boner for nanomachines):
–Can hug or straddle a person to death, slowly - I don’t know either. But for whatever reason, without her suit on, she can slowly drain the life of anyone she hugs or touches. And yes, that includes straddling in game; she very likely could actually fuck a person to death if she wanted to (note that someone would really have to piss her off before she’d do something like that AND I’d clear it with the person OOCly first). They don’t talk about this power at all, in game, so I’m just going to assume it’s a power made possible through nanomachines (since pretty much any superpower is courtesy of nanomachines, in the MGS series). She likely wouldn’t use this power unless she was threatened or ordered to use it.
–She’s shown to be able to perfectly coordinate attack formations with her unit without even talking. Basically, people with nanomachines are programmed to share each other’s senses and work more efficiently as a team by then coordinating battle tactics with each other. This also likely wouldn’t come into play in the game, unless someone else maybe apps someone with nanomachines that would have this same (or a similar) function.
-Has healing abilities. While it wouldn’t be able to instantly heal her, it’s said in canon that soldiers are unable to get drunk, as the nanomachines break down alcohol and can purify unclean water. In addition to that, nanomachines in her universe are even used to slow (but not cure) cancer. So basically, she’d still need medical attention for any serious injury she received, but it’d be impossible to poison her unless someone deactivated her nanomachines.
–Her nanomachines monitor her body’s functions and basically makes it so that she’s at her best possible shape during combat. By controlling adrenaline and endorphins that flow through her body, it elevates her senses and accuracy whenever she encounters a combative situation. It also suppresses and heightens certain emotions during these times, to make her even more effective (for LB, it’s said that she laughs the hardest during times of combat, this is likely due to nanomachines).
OCTOPUS SUIT:
While I’ll be bringing her Octopus suit in damaged, this is what it’s shown to be capable of, in canon, once it gets fixed. Note that she must be wearing her suit to be able to do almost any of this.
–CAMOUFLAGE. Her Octopus suit can take on any pattern and seemingly shape shift to a degree to perfectly blend in with her surroundings. The mask of her suit is shown to be able to make the wearer take on anyone’s appearance perfectly (and she can somehow still move her mouth despite it being a mask) and can be used entirely independent of her suit. Thus, she would still be able to use that to change her facial features if she wanted to, even without getting the rest of her suit fixed.
However, the entirety of her suit allows her much more variety in camouflaging herself, some examples being an anatomy model, blending in with a painted picture, disguising a tentacle as a wire to a big machine, making herself appear as a robot, somehow fitting herself into a tiny ass box, and she also can just stand around and blend in with any background. Note that if a person has thermal vision or goggles, her disguise really wouldn’t be effective at all.
–TENTACLES. The tentacles on her suit have been showed to whack people, climb up walls (and hold her position in higher areas), restrain (and crush an unfortunate person to death), and pierce through stomachs. There also seems to be tinier appendages at the end of each tentacle, so I could get creative with this ifyouknowwhatimean.
–INK SMOKE… THING? Her suit can emit an ink smog that provides cover for her to escape from situations that she deems too up close and personal to deal with. The downside is that she apparently must vomit all the black ink out when she’s out of the suit (I really don’t know about this canon either).
–ROLLING INTO A BALL. She can also roll her tentacles up to become some sort of ball, rev herself up (think Sonic the Hedgehog), and plow into a person.
–ELECTRICITY. While it’s a pretty weak power, she has some sort of power to emit a sort of shock to a person. While it wouldn’t kill a person from a brief touch, a longer duration can be fatal.
INVENTORY: Her Octopus suit (non-functional, will need to be repaired), her OctoCamo mask (still functional), and an FN P90 gun.
