Curate, connect, and discover
For transparency's sake, I'm the anon. Thank you so much! I didn't expect you to do so many. I was basically expecting just Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, Shigure, and Akito if you chose to do it period. You went way above my expectations good job! This is all so awesome and the artifact choices are hilarious. (at least most of them anyway while some make me sad like Kisa's and Momji's) Part of me thinks Tom and Jerry or The Princess Bride (for the ROUS) would have been a good choice for Yuki's artifact as well but Ratatouille is just as good of a choice. While all of the chosen negations are fitting I do have one suggestion for Hatori. Since remember is already an artifact in the UU universe, I have a different suggestion. Since Hatori's partially blind I feel his negation should be unseen. You know the saying, "What is seen can't be unseen"?
Unseen negates people's ability to see things (or in Sean's case originally, just himself). Hatori's interpretation of the negation is him taking away people's ability to see the memories they choose to forget. Therefore, making it an external negation instead of a self-targeting one like Sean's was. After all his power is more like hypnotism, the memories are still there, they just can't see them anymore. This is why characters that chose to forget can't associate with the forgotten much anymore because there's still a chance for unseen to wear off based on people's opinions of the forgotten and their mind subconsciously choosing to see the memories again. Unremember it's still good, I just think unseen fits well with Hatori's partial blindness. Irony and all the jazz.
I’ve said a few times in the past that Undead Unluck was basically if Fruits Basket was a action shonen instead of a slice of life shoujo. Whether if that comparison still holds weight or not, do you think you could give some of the Fruits Basket cast some negation abilities if it’s possible please?
Not all of them of course, just the ones that you feel you can have the easiest time figuring out with. Thank you for taking the time to read this regardless.
Only a small portion of characters actually have something that resembles a power aside from the transformation abilities, so where there isn't a power, I'm going to take inspiration from their personalities, actions or character arcs
Tohru, Unaffected- negates the effects of other Negator abilities that target her
Kyo, Unhuman- negates his own humanity, turning him into a monster; because of his own interpretation of the monster as his true self, he is able to seal it away with his prayer beads, believing them to work as a sort of glamour; though he won't turn into his monster form with the seal, he can still turn into a cat when not in control of his emotions
Yuki, Unaffiliated - negates emotional connections with others; while others may want to form a connection with him, the act of trying to do so will be met with a feeling of emotional distance, as if there is some kind of mental wall preventing the connection from being made; turns into a rat with Artifact Ratatouille
Hatsuharu, Unrestrained - negates his own self-restraint, causing him to act without inhibition; because of his interpretation, this manifests as a split personality rather than a constant state of wonton violence and debauchery; turns into a cow with Artifact Raging Bull [Note: I considered Cowboy Bebop]
Kisa, Untell - negates her ability to communicate with others, resulting in her inability to speak; turns into a tiger with Artifact Life of Pi
Momiji, Unfamiliar- negates Momiji's "family;" the closer a family member is to Momiji, the more distant they will feel, manifesting in his own parents being completely unaware of his existence; the Sohma family is widespread enough that Momiji identifies them more as his community than his family, allowing them to be aware of him; turns into a rabbit with Artifact Watership Down
Hatori, Unremember - negates a target's memories; turns into a sea dragon with Artifact How to Train Your Dragon
Ayame, Unashamed - negates any sense of shame within Ayame, allowing him to act in any way that he pleases without guilt or fear of repercussions; similar to Hatsuharu's Unrestrained, but where Unrestrained forces one to act on impulse and without thought, Unashamed allows one to commit to their actions with absolute conviction; turns into a snake with Artifact Snake Eyes
Rin, Untrusting - negates her ability to trust others; this manifests as immediate disbelief in what others say or claim they will do; can be viewed as an internal-targeting version of Yuki's Unafilliated; turns into a horse with Artifact Secretariat
Hiro, Unkind - negates his own ability to be kind, causing him to be rude or mean to people; because of his youth and lack of understanding of what it means to be truly unkind, Hiro manages not to act explicitly cruel, though maturity runs the risk of corrupting his personality through his interpretation; turns into a sheep with Artifact Shaun the Sheep
Ritsu, Uncalm - negates feelings of calm in Ritsu, causing him to feel constant anxiety, fear and panic; turns into a monkey with Artifact Planet of the Apes
Kureno, Unbound - negates Kureno's bonds; because of his circumstances, this refers specifically to his loyalty to Akito, making him capable of disobeying Akito; turns into a bird with Artifact Chicken Run
Shigure, Undoubt - negates feelings of doubt towards Shigure in others, making them easier to manipulate; Rin's Untrusting makes her immune to this ability; turns into a dog with Artifact Shaggy Dog
Kagura, Unmatched - negates her ability to be matched in combat by increasing her physical strength beyond normal levels; turns into a boar with Artifact Pig in the Big City
Akito, Unquestion - negates any feelings of defiance or disloyalty that a target may have toward Akito under the condition that they are viewed as beneath Akito; in this case, as Akito is the head of the Sohma Family, this applies to all members of the Sohma Family
Hana, Unhidden - negates the ability of others to hide things from Hana, which by her interpretation manifests as the ability to read the waves emanating from a target
