Talk:I-8/@comment-27255215-20160116025843

Joined a verbal-cosplay group ( where people verbally imitate the role distributed to them ) about three months ago and got I-8 as my respective role. Her background, although vague in the game, actually holds a lot of developmental potential...I've depicted her as a far more fluent German speaker than she is in the game, and specified her inner conflict and guilt about the atrocities conducted by her crew. Also, because according to the settings of this particular group/ naval base, Kanmusus are human girls who undergo special procedures to become hosts of the spirits of sunken warship, the transformation of a human into a Kanmusu can be regarded a deal with the devil: while the ship spirit bestows upon the host several attributes (a body that is always restored to full health as long as it's not totally destroyed, super strength, the ability to conjure and operate heavy artillery, affectionate relationships handed down from the previous life), the host is also tasked with the mission of battling the aquatic horrors for an indefinite span of time (god knows how long will the war against the Abyssals last). This aspect of the contract makes I-8 essentially a Faustian figure (she's half-German anyway).
