My first impression on the Url or their character: 

What? A Beato that can make mysteries? Ah, yes, mysteries.

Do I Rp with them?: 

Yes, on at least three of his accounts. I say at least three, because I have no idea what Shikei’s grand total is. Probably fifty-two.

Do I want to Rp with them?: 

Hell yeah. 

Do I ever have any gifwars or talk to them?: 

Trolling wars all day every day. Sometimes I just write things to see how quickly Shikei can demote me from sensei to senpai and back up again without drowning in tears.

So all in all, just another day.

My opinion on their character: 

Considering he has 10,000 muses, I’ll go with the aforementioned Beato. 

This Beato is great! Personally my favorite, and I think this is one of the few Beatos that have managed to strike a mutual truce with my Bern. They rag on each other, but like Witches do, they still throw parties for each other and have an, albeit twisted, sense of humor.

As much as Bern makes incest and ocean jokes around this Beato, she really has nothing against her?

Overall statement: 

Shikei is really good! Like really, good. I always make fun of him for having 10,000 muses, but in reality, he pulls each one of them off pretty damn well. Usually it’s hard to transition between one to another, but the way he writes them makes them sound pretty convincing- you can tell he did his research beforehand. 

... She hadn't promised anyone a pony too, had she? No? Good. That would have turned out nasty.

Lambdadelta stood on the balcony, overlooking the witches that had gathered to hear her verdict. Flanking her were presumably furniture, or at least neutral parties of equal status - a younger white-haired boy with a pair of wicked-looking black horns, a college-aged man with a rather absurd pompadour (was it supposed to form a huge spike like that?), and, finally, an older man in all black. His features were harder to describe - he wore a large hat and sunglasses, and his hair was so perfect it could only be fake. Lambdadelta, of course, would have rather had Bernkastel by her side. But she supposed there was nothing she could do...

She took a step forward and surveyed the crowd. In her hand, she had an envelope. Lambdadelta held it out in front of them, but it was obvious she was considering something. The look on her face was pained.

And then suddenly, she ripped it into pieces, and threw those pieces over the balcony.

"Bern won everything! She won everything spectacularly, marvellously, wonderfully! And that's the end of that!"

There was chaos on the balcony. Lambdadelta had leapt into the air and attempted to pop away, only for the two of her older 'bodyguards' to catch her by her feet. The younger boy had disappeared from where he stood - instead he was impossibly leaping through shadows to catch the fragments of paper as they floated in the air.

It was a rather wild show.

A few minutes later, it had resolved. The envelope and the paper inside had been restored to its former glory. Lambdadelta was sitting back on her throne with a rather large pout on her face. The oldest of her bodyguards had a hand gently but firmly on her shoulder; he held the envelope in the other. On her other side, there was a green konpeitou with a large point buzzing furiously in the air.

"Ms. Delta, if you please," he said. And then he handed the envelope back to her as if nothing had happened.

After all, her furniture would not be permitted action 'against' her if she did not allow it.

"Fine, fine," she said, with a sulky look on her face. She stood up again and, with a sudden grandiosity that she hadn't had mere moments ago, approached the edge of the balcony again.

"I hereby declare the Witches' Trolling Contest results to be finalized and ready for presentation! I, of course, am the great Lady Lambdadelta, authorized by the power of the Witches' Senate to judge this contest!

Of course, I swear to be an unbiased and impartial judge of the events! All participants - 'participants' referring to Bernkastel, Witch of Miracles, Erika Furudo, Witch of Truth, the two Beatrices - Beatrice, Witch of Illusions, Beatrice the Golden, and Sakana, Emerald Sorcerer of Epiphany - can be assured that there will be no favouritism in my verdict! I swear that on my own title, as the Witch of Certainty! My words are absolute and true!"

She paused as she waited for the applause of the spectating witches and goats to subside.

"Of course, it is a bit... overdue. But - but! It's not as if I could help it! The file got buried in my super important 'Magnificent Manipulations - Bernkastel's Foot-tastic Faculties!' report. 800 pages, you know? So you definitely can't blame me for that!"

There was a cough from somewhere behind her, and the green konpeitou collided against her shoulder. She swatted it away.

"Aaaa~aaanyway, without further ado - the moment you've all been waiting for! Here are the results!

"The winners of the best lines are... my beloved Bernkastel, Witch of Miracles, and Erika Furudo, Witch of Truth!" For a moment she looked like she'd swallowed a lemon, and if you were on the balcony, you would have heard her whisper, "It's not like she's equal to Bern or anything! It's more like Bern taught her well!"

And then she continued.

"The best witch under pressure - Sakana, Emerald Sorcerer of Epiphany! Part of being a master is being hard to rattle, right? Though there was a moment of weakness, your performance was the best!

The 'No-limits' witch - the best use of vulgar language, truly deserving  the name 'Endless', is Beatrice the Golden! In a fight between witches, acknowledging limits is equal to death!

And the last of the titles, the best Witch of Tournabout - Beatrice, Witch of Illusions! For a fantastic display of 'turning the tide', and being able to use their words as a building block to your comeback! If you want to last in a witch's game, this sort of skill is essential!"

"And finally, for the best overall performance - dun dun dun dun ☆"

She drew out the pause for as long as possible, until finally -

"... Beatrice, Witch of Illusions!"

This time when she ripped up the paper into pieces and threw them over the crowd, the fragments exploded into brightly-coloured confetti fit for the occasion.

"And that's that! Please continue to practice trolling to the best of your abilities! If you have any objections to the ruling, you can direct them to my secretary Mr. Tetra, to my left; he'll answer them within five business days. Excluding holidays, of course!"

[…Ah, um. Well. This is very hard. Only ten? Really? I’m going to knock off some of the inactive ones, because there are a distinct few I’d love to rec, but haven’t had so much activity.

So.

certainlysuperpaper (and all her subsequent parallel accounts)-She is my Bern’s Lambda, and such a perfect Lambda to boot.  Everything about her is perfect and in-character. It can be seen even in her short responses, which is something that is an art yet to be perfected by many. Her other accounts too- although they deviate from canon, they are very well-written and has plot( yes, plot in RP threads, multiples of them too!). 

squirrelsjrA cute, sweet and adorable Rhyme! Combined Rhyme’s supposed innocence with underlying mischievousness and quirkiness! She’s usually a bit busy IRL, so updates are slow, but every one is wonderfully crafted and very in-character! She’s also quite playful as well, so each thread has more than plenty of fun to it! Definitely worth a look!

porpora-nubeI’m not sure how many people know Reborn, but her TYL!Hibari is most excellent. She gets down both his refined mannerisms and his excessive bloodlust down to a T, and still has him act with strangers just the way Hibari would. A bit cold, but curt, polite and always ready to fight if given the opportunity.

bernkastel-of-miraclesA Bernkastel promoting a Bernkastel!  For good reason too. While it’s very hard to capture the air of a Witch, this Bern does it well, even in a few lines. Look at their responses to asks, this shows the fickle and mysterious nature of Bernkastel, and every response is 10/10. Keep in mind, I tend to make my Bern a little more tolerable to guests, but this Bern is having none of that. So yeah, perfect Bern. 

theatergoer/emeraldsorcerer (Both the same person, so they count as one) Wow, a Featherine, am I right? What a rare pick! But yeah, perfect mix of elegance, everything a Featherine should be. If you ever feel like crossing the intimidation barrier to talk to an omniscient creature, go bother this Featherine!And for those who are all right with OCs, shoot a look at Sakana. Most of the problems I have with OCs, is honestly, not being well-rounded enough. Because with normal characters like Bern, which is easy to find backstory for, OCs don’t have that and rely entirely on the author to explain things. But this is one that does the job very well, so go have a look!

reality-and-illusions/angelicexecutionerBeato and Dlanor, both excellently in character and plenty playful. Beatrice shows a good amount of wickedness along with her jovial laughter, and even when doing out of character things for Beato, he still manages to make her fit the situation. Same for Dlanor too, plenty adorable, but sometimes, you remember that the small girl is also an Inquisitor.They are also one of the few Umineko people that actually make mysteries and closed room murders (and I can tell you from personal experience, that is no easy feat to do).

the-lonely-traveling-doctorFor all you Whovians, look at this Doctor! Absolutely perfect and plenty funny, this Doctor lends a good mix of humor and plot into every thread. There’s plenty of emotions running, and one of the few people who plot with…well, plots!  

furude—rikaShe’s a bit short on threads now due to her busy life, but definitely, take a good long look at this Rika! She very well expresses the troubles and frustrations of meta-Rika in Hinamizawa, and even when on M!As, she is perfectly in character. She may not be on so much, but when she is, totally a plus! 

endlesshermitFor all you Touhous out there, and for all of you not into Touhou, this Seiga Kaku is very on level with my Bern. Wicked, blue-haired women galore. For those who enjoy a taste of seduction and aristocracy, look no further!His language is a bit flowery, which is a bit hard for people to read with their constrained schedules and hatred of high-school English classes, but once you give it a read-through, you’ll definitely like what you see!

distorted-littlesisterWell, anyone who knows me how much I love the horror genre, and this cute little lolita is right out of it! If your muse is male, she’ll latch onto you, and if your muse is female, she’ll try to kill you. All in good fun!A bit of gore, but who doesn’t like that amirite? 

[Shikei used to run an excellent Takano but then standardized testing punched him in the face.

Erika I find myself slipping into when on my other RP account actually, because even though she’s incredibly annoying, she’s highly intelligent as well. I won’t ever have an Erika muse out of fear of becoming too condescending, but she will pop up from time to time to show off her intellect.

It was a bit blustery out today. That's okay. Sakana didn't mind a little wind. He had lingered back, still in the sixth rank after completing it, but today was the day he decided to make his trip up to the final circle of Purgatory. If anything, the wind made it feel a little refreshing. It was only 5 miles per hour at the most, anyways.

He stood up, brushing his tattered pants off. He was a mess at this point. Most all of his clothes had either somewhat fallen apart or were completely torn at the ends. After all, he'd been on this mountain for a decade at least.

Wait...what was that presence? It felt almost exactly like...

"...Lady Beatrice?"

Sakana turned around as he said her name, only to be facing a beautiful woman clad in white. It sure didn't look like her style of dress at all, but her face looked almost identical.
