IC:
Character name: Yukko Aioi
Fandom: Nichijou
Timeline:The Adult Link timeline While she’s daydreaming in class. Time is relative in bizarro Japan.
Age: Never stated in canon, assumed at least 16
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: Yukko fails at life, definitely, but the rest… it depends.
Nichijou is a really weird show. Nichijou translates simply to “Regular Life”, or in context “My Ordinary Life.” This is a paradox, because Yukko’s life is pretty unorthodox. Nichijou is meant to look like a slice-of-life cutesy pie animu, but then when it has you in its grasp, bam, the principal is getting curbstomped by a doe and . Yukko is meant to be one of the more ‘normal’ characters in the show, but this is like saying that the talking cat Sakamoto-san is the voice of reason or that Yukko’s friend is really, really crazy about her Boy’s Love. It’s all very true but it sounds crazy. Yukko herself is a weirdo, and she likes to exaggerate, especially when she is shocked or surprised.
How would they use their abilities?: To exaggerate situations no matter how small they are. Something sudden just happened? Her eyes go wide and she goes “GYAHHH!” Is she late for class? She speeds down the road like a runaway train, dust flying everywhere. Did she just stub her toe? She shoots a huge laser beam out of her mouth that pierces the heavens. Because why not? Nichijou.
So basically she has little control over how her powers are used though, if you could even call them ‘powers’. If this game had regains then I would just have to just dropped this crazy crap altogether because I would not be listing a checklist of all of the zany things she's done in canon. And where's the fun in that? They just sorta happen, and even if she’s self-aware about her going Super Saiyan Level Two over the last bite in her lunch box, she’s not going to start beating up NPCs or cause trouble. Ninety-nine percent of the time she's either just overreacting to things, or her actions act as metaphors (climbing a mountain would act as her struggle to make her friends laugh at her terrible jokes). She doesn’t… seem… to notice how crazy she looks either, despite being surprised whenever she sees something incredible or insane. Major destruction is possible but not likely, though if it does happen, it will be a huge accident. She’ll trip, fall and she fish flops through a window and gets sucked into space. Something along these lines. Nichijou is weird. Have you noticed?

Yukko is a girl with big brown innocent eyes, a stupid little smirk and the haircut of a ten year old boy.
In all seriousness, Yukko looks fairly like a teenage Japanese girl. Nichijou is drawn in this cutesy, moe sort of style, and this is shown through her big beady eyes, the tiny little slashes used for blushes and her small incomplete smile. Yukko has a baby face, and it's normally curved into a cocky look. Of course, since this is Nichijou, an animu, Yukko is just an exaggerated cartoon character and it's not unusual for her head and face to contort.
Normally she is seen wearing t-shirts and skirts. For the purposes of this game she'll be having the two outfits above (her winter and summer school uniforms) and the occasional hoodie, tshirt or jeans.
Background/Personality: Nichijou translates simply to “Regular Life”, or “My Ordinary Life.” And it is batshit crazy.
you know what just watch this because this is based on true events
Time is really relative to Nichijou. There’s a canon timeline of sorts, where events that happen in previous episodes come back in later episodes, but these are meant for cheap gags rather than an overarching storyline. Yukko does not have much of a background. She is a girl from Japan, she goes to high school and is known as a troublemaker (and once got a 01% percent on a test). She has a few friends, hates doing homework and wants to grow up to be a frill-necked lizard. Her mom is kind of abusive and whenever Yukko acts up she puts Yukko into a German Suplex, which would at least explain a few things. Her ordinary life.
The thing that will stick out the most about Yukko Aioi is that she is very... eccentric. She does things that definitely make her stand out. It's a bit hard to describe. For example, Yukko regularly greets her friends with "Selamat Pagi", which is Indonesian for "Good Morning." She doesn't just uses this phrase because she likes the way it sounds though. It becomes increasingly obvious that Yukko is speaking Indonesian only to get a reaction. This is because she becomes confused and saddened when one morning her friend Mio does not even flinch to her greeting. This causes her to begin to overthink why Mio would simply ignore her greeting. The thought itself lodges inside her head, and for the rest of her trip to school she can't stop thinking about it. However, when her other friend Mai greets her back in Indonesian, she becomes so elated to the point of tears.
And while this sounds like an odd example... Yeah, Yukko's kind of like that.
The first thing you will notice about Yukko is very open about her emotions. In fact, at times she goes out of her way to exaggerate. When she’s happy, she’s beaming. If she’s bragging, her face gets so smug you just want to bonk her over the head. If she’s mad she will grit her teeth and glare with fire in her eyes. If she’s sad, well, she just mopes about. Normally she bounces back to her perky personality pretty quickly, but sometimes it’s much harder than waiting it out. This is also why, when Yukko gets really depressed, it is this sudden, gigantic, exaggerated halestorm of angst that consists soley of body twitching, incoherent mumblings and so many tears that you’d swear she’ll end up waterlogged. Of course, regardless of whether it’s mild disappointment or violent pity party, it’s always easy to get Yukko back to being Yukko. Just butter her up with lots of compliments and motivation (and take a few slaps on the back, from her) and she’ll be as good as new. Yukko is a sucker for compliments.
But why is Yukko like this? How does she bounce back so quickly? Her friends are awfully smart, and they rarely seem to flinch at her behavior. Why do they put up with it?
Becauuussseee Yukko is kind of stupid and doesn’t know any better? An idiot? A baka? Brainless? Clueless? With Delusions of Grandeur?
That’s all exaggeration actually. Yukko isn’t dumb per se(b-but that might depend on your definition of dumb she certainly isn’t bright), she’s just very simple-minded, and easily distracted. She can certainly do pretty well if she tries, but normally trying proves to be a lot harder for her. Things that would normally prove easy for most, such as sitting down to do studying or ordering a latte, holds extra challenge for Yukko. If you explain something to her, make sure to explain it in a clear, understandable way, because if you’re vague about it she will get utterly confused and misinterpret. The biggest problem for her is… that she is impulsive! She doesn’t try to assess the situation correctly when she really needs to – but, oh, she can definitely overthink things… stupid things that she shouldn’t be worried about.
Call it naïve or childish if you want, but Yukko just does things. She is all shoot first, regret things later. She doesn’t give time to realize that her ideas are incredibly stupid because she’s practically convinced herself that these ideas are perfect and will put them into practice before anything else. So when things don’t work out the way she imagines (I.E. ALMOST ALWAYS), it’s perfectly understandable why she screams and hoops and hollers. Because her little mind is blown so hard that it feels like her little world has just been shot to high hell. The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again expecting a different result. If that’s true, then Yukko must be a little cracked.
Yukko is a big dreamer too, if her grandeous daydreams and hasty spouts of poetry are any indication, and she seems to prefer going with whatever reasons her imagination comes up with rather than any form of logic.... which is probably why, out of everyone in her clas, she is the only one who truly believes that Nano is a robot. This is also why she overreacts whenever something even slightly disconcerting happens, especially when they fly out of left field. The principal has a habit of telling awfully lame jokes during his speeches, and Yukko can’t help but wonder if he knows just how terrible they are (and making a really, really big deal about it in the process). A bird lands on the edge of a window and starts talking, cue wacky reaction (though to be honest can you blame her for freaking out? I mean... talking bird...) Things like that.
There are also moments where Yukko can be downright egocentric too. For example, when someone does something that goes against what she’s expecting or appears even slightly suspicious, like if a friend appears to be mad at her, her mind paints pictures in order to explain why. Annndd by that I mean she just jumps to the conclusion that it must involve her somehow. She wonders if it’s something that she said, or something she did or or or maybe they just don’t like her! It must be about her, she has to know for sure, needs to know, no, she already knows it’s her, it has to be her, she needs to patch this hole up, mend things, And then suddenly she’s crying and flailing her arms about, apologizing profusely to her friend for something that she didn’t do. Normally it has nothing to do with her, but Yukko is one for jumping to conclusions.
That being said, Yukko is not self-centered. Sometimes it’s the complete opposite. While Yukko has her moments of thoughtlessness, when she does something hurtful she immediately feels guilty, and she quickly tries to patch things up much to her own detriment. When Yukko breaks her friend Mai’s statue she flusters up several ways of trying to make up for it from gluing the head back on to literally leaving an apology note on Mai’s desk with candy and flowers (before eventually just throwing the blasted thing in the incinerator.) She’s not a very good liar either, both due to the fact that she can’t handle feeling guilty and the fact that she can’t come up with a legit excuse to save her life.
Yukko just wants to stick out in this ordinary life of hers. She wants to find the extraordinary within the ordinary, but most of all shewants to be the extraordinary within the ordinary. She practically lives off how others view her, so she can’t handle it whenever people hate her or just ignore her. She does not crave for attention. She just wants to be known as unique and different without becoming something that she is not. She’s just a tiny pink ant living her tiny little life, and as much as she complains she loves living in it.
Why should that character be in this game: Because there’s way too much weird shit in the universe and it’s going to blow Yukko’s mind and she'll scream and flail her arms about. I know this is for original characters but I figured I would put that out there anyway.

1st person sample: [ The feed captures Yukko with tears in her eyes. Uhh ohh. ]
GUYS! GUYS, HELP!
[ Yukko is a trembling mess. Her hands are shaking and tears are pouring down her face at an alarming rate. What could have happened to have brought her such stress and to the point of tears?
Well Yukko does move her hand lift something up from the counter, clutching it tightly like a baseball. It's -- A can of wasabi. ]
I - I CAN'T GET IT OFF! [ She grips the top of the can again and tries to turn it again, as if to emphasize her point. She looks like she's trying with all of her strength. ] Why the hell won't it come off?! I've been trying for twenty minutes! It's jammed, or broken, or something! [ And she points to an ordinary electric can opener (that feels suspiciously antiquated compared to the other things behind her. ] And that stupid thing won't work! It's got it out for me, I swear!
[ Yukko doesn't seem to realize that the can opener is not a catch-all for all cans. Especially for cans with thick lid that are meant to be placed back on. But Yukko has been known to act desperately... In any case, she turns to look at the rogue piece of machinery like it just insulted her mother. ]
Stupid can opener. I hate you so much! Jerk!
[ And she swiftly kicks it, because this is the mature thing to do when faced with a problem.
Of course she lands a hit, but this causes the can opener's blade to stab right through the end of her shoe. And somehow it turns it on. So it begins to drill a hole inside of Yukko's shoe. ]
Wawuhwhuwhawhat?! [ She shakes her foot around, which causes the feed to shake. ] Wah! No! Stop! [ She starts tearing up again. ] I-I'm sorry I kicked you, please forgive me! I'm just an idiot! I-I wasn't thinking! I didn't mean to offend you! Please don't eat me!
[ Thankfully Yukko drops the feed, and it shuts off as it lands on the ground. Maybe she can save some of her dignity. ]
