Kart Corruption/Shift Info + App
Name: Sheryl Nome
Canon: Macross Frontier
Age: 17
Height/Weight: 165cm, 54kg
Eyes/Hair: Blue, blonde-pink
Visual: Looks human subject to corruption details below. Some character sheets.
Audio: Speaking voice is Aya Endo, singing voice is May’n (lala). When from-home powers are not nerfed, specialized scans/abilities might show that she has bacteria from an alien bug hivemind living in her gut. Those bacteria give her voice has "Fold waves," a type of instantaneous/superdimensional transfer of information/energy -- see app for more details.
App: Here.
Natural Soul: Arthropoda: bee.
Class Abilities: Primary class ability is the social insect class magic ("secrete pheromones to direct the actions of those around them") with vibrations layered on top of the pheromones. Pheromones will be G rated unless someone apps Alto in which case they will be amply warned for and someone can throw her in a cold shower. Combined with her hivemind bacteria, Sheryl has wound up double-specialized in bug-to-bug communication.
Corruption and Periodic Fashion:
- General plan: General corruption plan is to develop an exo-skeleton somewhere between canon's Ex-Gear power armor (haha, it's ex for exo-skeleton), mecha musume bullshit. Plus bee wings. As soon as I figure out how such a person would wear underpants.
- Start of October: No signs of corruption.
- October vacation/mid-October: half-formed bee wings and the start of an exoskeleton "bracer" on her right arm.
- Late October/early November: Wings are maybe three-quarters filled out, the "bracer" covers most of her right forearm, and exoskeleton is starting to appear on her left ankle and up her spine. There are antennae starting to poke out of her head, but hidden by her hair. For general fashion/appearance, see periodic fashion, late October 2025/early November 2025 -- she tends to pin her hair up or to the side in public to make her wings particularly visible. Her wings are transparent with faint warm tones.
- November into January: By late January, the exoskeleton has developed all the way up up and down her legs and one arm, and to grow extra arms. The extra arms come out of her back/shoulders and are the same material as her exoskeleton -- brown-black. Both the arms and the exoskeleton have fine gold filaments in faintly spiraling whorls. Her wings nearly hit the ground she's standing up. Her antennae are starting to become visible, and they're a little like very thin horns poking out from behind her ears. Front and back or sth I can't draw.
- Late-January into February: Prolonged lack of Ranka (or any other competing queens) means that she's developing into a queen bee rather than a worker. Exo-skeleton covering an increasing portion of her limbs.
Shift: This except more brown/black toned, maintaining the gold patterns. Also, like. One meter instead of twenty.
Miscellaneous: Sheryl's Natural Soul is primarily chosen as a response to her prior bug experiences and as a counterpoint to her pervasive loneliness. Strongly considered wasps, but wasp queens die after one year. Strongly considered butterflies, but that's movie-Sheryl's symbolism rather than television-Sheryl's symbolism. And Aves Sheryl would just be gamebreaking. Her primary class ability focus is driven by those two things, plus her emphasis on communication. Her armor-focused physical corruption traits are primarily responsive to getting spooked by October 2025 plot trauma, and therefore wanting to be stronger/protected. Her shift is a scaled-down version of one of the space bugs from her canon. She sings to her canon bugs and to her Natural Soul bug a lot.

Bonus Tracks
Sacrifice (~Tori no Hito?~)
Original Song: ♪
Notes: In Karteria, written to incorporate small elements of Peacock's October 2025 song and with thematic callbacks to "Do You Remember Love?" and "Diamond Crevasse." It is a "new" song to Kart-Sheryl because "Sacrifice" is a movie-canon-only song, in that it is probably(? it's not an on-screen song) post-movie-Sheryl's comatose response to "Labyrinth of Time."
The sky presses down as you carry the weight of time
Eyes sting from holding back tears that you cannot cry.
The night seems so endless when lost in the lonely dark
Still I will call to you, echoing from the stars.
When the dawn feels far away, know that I will be here for you
When your arms begin to shake, know that I will be here for you
So we'll be alright, even as we sway.
Let this bring a little light
Let this bring a little light
We will be alright.
Let this bring a little light
(Let this bring a little light)
Let this bring a little light
We will be alright.
Let this bring a little light
(Let this bring a little light)
Let this bring a little light
(Let this bring a little light)
We will be alright.
(Let this bring a little light)
Let this bring a little light
(Let this bring a little light)
We will be alright.
(Let this bring a little light)
I’ll spin this song into the stars and sea
(Let this bring a little light)
Dreaming that you will sing it back to me
So if this echoes when the dark seems deep
(Let this bring a little light)
Hold to the feeling that you’re here with me.
(Let this bring a little light)
We will be alright.
