Historical/Real Life Figures as When They Cry characters!

This is pretty much a little game that I thought of in school. Basically, we write historical and/or real life figures as Umineko or Higurashi characters. You can either post your template or a little short story on how they act if they were Witches/Sorcerers in Umineko or if they were possessed by Oyashiro in Higurashi.
Sorry if my Higurashi section is less substantial than the Umineko one. Haven’t read the manga in like, four years.

TEMPLATE: (Umineko)

Person:

Witch Title:

Witch Powers:

How they became a Witch (creative liberty* is allowed):

Furniture:

Their affinity to a character within Umineko (and why):

Would they be anti-mystery, anti-fantasy, mystery, or fantasy? What Umineko character would they be most willing to side with in the game of the witch if they participated in the Rokkenjima mystery? Would they expose the truth, or be sent to oblivion?:

What they do as a Witch (Are they GM’s? What games did they create? etc):

Short story about their lives as a Witch/Sorcerer (optional):

TEMPLATE: (Higurashi)

Person:

Detective or Civilian:

What happens to them or others around them on Watanagashi?
Were they possessed by Oyashiro? Or did their family/friends get possessed? What happens in this situation:

Nickname:

Their backstory (You can have creative liberty here):

Their affinity to a character within Higurashi (and why):

If a Detective, how they investigate the mysteries of Hinamizawa? What personal problems do they have? Are there any internal/external obstacles that get in their way? Are they an Agent Scully or Mulder? Do they manage to find out the truth, etc:

If a Civilian, do they play any role in the disappearances/murders? What personal problems do they have? What are their weapons, etc:

(Higu spoilers up to EP7/8) What are their lives like in the world of Saikoroshi-Hen? In a Matsuribayashi esque scenario, do they become aware of their/the towns situation? Do they try to band the town together against the Yanimu or simply not care? How do they atone for the sins they might have committed. :

Short story on their lives in Hinamizawa (optional):

By creative liberty, I mean like you can fabricate/tweak (some, not all) details based off of your historical/real life person’s life. You’re writing fictional versions of them anyway. Think of FSN.

Examples Here cause I don’t want to shit up the OP:

EXAMPLE ONE
Person: Joseph Stalin
Witch Title: Sorcerer of Revolution
Powers:
"The Proletariat’s Iron-Will"
This magic compendium of Stalin’s allows him to empower any person in a scenario in which they face immeasurable odds or are the underdog. The person receives a massive boost in power in places they need the most, effectively making them equal to or greater than the opponent they face. However, it comes at the risk of removing your individual identity.

How he became a Witch: After the extremely successful Red Revolution in Russia, Stalin finds himself at odds with the Communist Party’s most prominent figure, Trotsky. Trotsky is quite a powerful man, having both the public’s adoration and Lenin’s approval for succeeding him as head of state. Stalin hated the shit out of this so for years he plotted Trotsky’s demise. However, for all his planning, Trotsky succeeded Lenin and became ruler of the Soviet Empire. Joseph was enraged, he had that right! Only he could lead the beloved people of Russia into a glorious future! All seemed lost until he was granted with a miracle, a miracle that allowed him to become a magical being and travel to a universe where he was the General Secretary of the Soviet Union. (I know this sucks ass)

Furniture: Vasily Blokin and Adolf Hitler

Character Affinity: Bernkastel

Role: An extremely anti-mystery person, Stalin regards Battler and Ange with disgust and contempt but their struggle immensely reminds him of his own war against the bourgeois, so he offers to help them out. With Stalin on his side, Battler actually ends the game quickly and returns to his little sisters side.

Games: Being a tyrant of unimaginable cruelty, Stalin created quite a huge number of games that all Witches could enjoy. The most famous game of his is entitled World War II, in which he plays the role of a master manipulator-bending Great Sorcerers such as the Sorcerer of Prosperity and the Sorcerer of Annihilation to their knees. Although it is often argued that his game, “Unthinkable” with the Sorcerer of Imperialism and Victory is his magnum opus.

EXAMPLE TWO
Person: Bill Clinton
Civilian, although he tries he damnest to be a Scully-esque detective.

Fate: Unfortunately on Watanagashi, Bill ends up getting possessed almost immediately by Oyashiro, with his close friend Vince (who is also likely dating his wife) disappearing forever that night. His wife, Hillary also ends up being possessed, but she manages to resist much better than him.

Nickname: “Billy”, “Existential Willy”, “The guy who can’t keep it in”

Affinity: Keiichi, Satoko and Rena. The reasons why is because Hillary used to be/still is an advocate for children’s rights, he has a weakness for the ladies, and because its noted that he has quite the temper. Apparently the White House staff used to call it temper tantrums or some shit.

Not gonna post a backstory cause I’m tired. Basically, After his Presidency, The Clintons decide to move to Hinamizawa because why the fuck not. They ally themselves with the Sonozakis because they seem cool.

As stated earlier, Bill tries to be the best detective God ever created, and indeed he does a lot of great things in Hinamizawa, but eventually he succumbs to his possession and bodies begin pilling up around him and his wife. Most people in the town suspect them, but Bill insists it wasn’t his fault, and the Sonozakis were really behind it. Weapon of choice appears to be a modified Saxophone.

In the world of Saikoroshi, Bill and Hillary are one of the most progressive forces in Hinamizawa. They oust the corrupt Sonozakis out of power and install a healthcare system that is mainly dedicated to researching and figuring out the cure to Hinamizawa syndrome. Bill atones by living a humble life as he did long ago.

The Clintons have actually quite a shitty time in Hinamizawa. The people suck, the atmosphere is creepy, and there’s barely any T.V. service. Still, they try to make the best of their situation by aiding the downtrodden locales as best as possible. (I’ll post more later)

@Pandora

Witch Title

Witch of Unintentional Laughter

Witch Powers

Whenever Pandora gives new information or ideas to someone there is a medium chance that it will cause them to burst into uncontrollable inexplicable laughter. This is a very powerful ability, as fellow Witches cannot control the laughter, and unable to stop laughing, and unable to perceive the world over the tears in their eyes and the sound of their own laughter, many witches laughed for so long that they died of boredom. This makes PANDORA a critically powerful trump card that can break any stalemate, and instantly win any battle. Paired with someone like Lambdadelta or Bernkastel, she can instantly incapacitate and eventually kill any being that can perceive information and has the same weakness to boredom as witches.

How they became a Witch

After making many unintentionally hilarious posts across the internet, the idea of these posts came together to create a consciousness in the higher realm. The Witch who allowed her to become a witch has never been found, they were likely the first victim of PANDORA’s ability

Furniture

PANDORA has had many pieces of furniture over her lifetime, but they all died of respiratory failure from PANDORA’s ability accidentally being used on them.

Role

Was unable to form much of an opinion on Beato’s game, as they killed most of the participants soon after arriving in the game room.

Games

Has created many a wonderful gameboard, but since PANDORA’s ability applies to information transfer, they find it quite difficult to spread the word about them, as a good percentage of the beings PANDORA invites as players are killed by the invitation. The other participants rapidly die during the game, as more information about the board is revealed.


Sorry for being mean. I had to ; - )
