We have a new citizen in Mount Phoenix:

                          Meng Po, the Goddess of Forgetfulness,                            whose origins stem from Ancient China.                     She is now a night janitor at Asclepius General.

FC NAME/GROUP: Lu Keran (THE9/ Fanxy Red) GOD NAME: Meng Po PANTHEON: Chinese OCCUPATION: Night Janitor at Asclepius General HEIGHT: 176 cm (5’9″) WEIGHT: 52 kg (114 lbs) DEFINING FEATURES: –Short hair often dyed black and tinted in bright streaks. –(Tattoos) ♦Shrivatsa on both Carpus ♦Dharmachakra on the Spine ♦ Myosotis Flowers on both Feet

PERSONALITY: You would think that a goddess who is fated to be forever forgotten all of their days by any who’ve met her, would be for better or worse a bitter goddess as cold, severe, and morose as sleet covered snow. A reclusive witch, even, robbed of all shine and spirit. However, the Lady Meng is quite the opposite.

A tremendously vital albeit stubborn being, she is cheerful, kind, and eccentrically lives each day out loud and off the rails, as if it is the very last one she will ever have with anyone she meets (which for most is truer than can ever be understood). The Underworld Goddess of Forgetfulness and Amnesia is basically the single serve manic fairy BFF you never knew you needed, and won’t remember you had. Dawn til dusk, Lady Meng has no tomorrows with anyone so she exists as everyone’s extremely fleeting but none the less doting Laolao and Nienie.

HISTORY: Her myth (too long so see link) [X]

Unable to cast her from the underworld nor let her reincarnate, Yanluo Wang made the former human Meng Jiang Nü, a goddess in her own right. As the crone goddess of forgetfulness, Meng Po, she made sure crossing souls did not remember their previous lives so none would ever share her fate, and they could reincarnate into a new life. She did so by offering them a tea or soup made from a variety of herbs called ‘the five flavors of forgetfulness.’ This is intended as a way to purge a soul of all the memories from its previous life so it may be ready to make a fresh start.

However, the times changed, as they always do. Eventually, less souls came to the little lone soup stall on Nai He Bridge. The humans and found new gods, and ways to sin. No one needed her warmth to forget life’s past pains anymore. Boredom set in for Old Lady Meng and with no memories of her own any longer to brood over, she grew restless. Seeing no reason to serve soup to herself, the goddess returned to an Earth that had much changed. Even she herself was changed. She was young, vital and vigorous again. As a goddess among the mortals, she could look anyway she liked, be what ever she wanted.

☙ Or so she thought…

It wasn’t long on before Meng realized freedom came with a price and no one can escape the sins of their own cursed karma. She was a part of this new world and yet she wasn’t. Friends, lovers, even those she’d only just met would no longer know her as soon as she left their sight. She went unnoticed by peers, forgotten each day over and over. A whisper of existence that remained absent from times infinite loop to all but her own mind. She was now literally written out of the story of living memory completely.

☙ If she had been less stubborn as a human and a slightly less willful goddess perhaps the tale would ave ended right here.

Instead, she learned to live in the moment, savor every now and make the present be a lifetime. With no tomorrows, and no forevers, Meng flit through the world of human concerns as careless and detached as a caffeinated kid turned loose in a toy store: brightly, cheerfully and with all the grace of a herd of buffalo stampeding over broken glass. It was between the pockets of her own superposition that she learned of Mount Phoenix. She is not even certain it is a place for her, but. after all that’s said and done . .

☙ One who is easily forgotten wont easily forget.

POWERS:

♦ Is able to completely erase the memories of others, ranging from a certain memory to erasing an entire personality and personal history from memory, causing instant and permanent amnesia.

♦ Causes others to lose memory of her after choosing to look away. If she is not directly within view of an individual, all memories of her and her presence and characteristics completely disappears from the mind of the individual.

♦ Meng’s abilities also interfere with the targeting telemetry of mechanical devices. Scopes, lens, cameras, computers, cellphones and recording devices may catch a distortion but nothing can capture a define image of her features or body.

STRENGTHS:

♦ Absolutely Fearless (I mean she use to park her soup stall at the gates of Diyu (aka Realm of the Dead containing all the Chinese Hells), so nothing much shocks or scares her.

♦ Great listener and advisor despite the fact she knows no one will ever even remember her or the advice she has given them once they walk away.

♦ She practically invented the concept of stealth and stealth maneuvers, being both existent and non-existent at same time to most individuals. There’s really nowhere she can’t sneak in and out of (nor any lock she’s not above picking).

♦ The Deus Ex Machina of goddesses frankly.

♦ An amazing cook, her signature Lanzhou Lamian (beef noodle soup) and Five-Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness are especially mind numblingly tasty, the only problem is you likely won’t even remember your own name (nor much else) after having a sip of either one.

WEAKNESSES:

♦ An individual has to drink or eat something she has cooked or given them in order to have all their memories totally erased.

♦ Meng has no control over the imperceptibility cloaks her, and lives in a near constant state of existential superposition.

♦ As she does still really actually exist, Meng Po’s actions on tangible things can still be perceived even after she herself has been forgotten, like her use of supplies and consumption of food, allowing people to logically conclude that she could exist.

♦ Animals are unaffected by Meng Po’s abilities, and remember her despite the imperceptibility that surrounds her.

♦ Still cannot swim.

♦ Extremely Stubborn.

♦ Can be rigidly unforgiving.

(gp999 friend) omg another elimination episode gone by and many more tears shed 😭😭 I hope you are doing well despite everything going on in the show! 🥲 you are so right about wen zhe - I’ve seen so many people fall in love with her and she’s clearly loved by both the watchers and participants so hopefully even if she doesn’t make it her group will either have a comeback soon or she’ll sign with a Korean agency?? Id love to see her in a group with some of the girls from gp999 (esp manami) ☺️ also i really enjoyed reading your takes on the creation missions (you were right about utopia being stacked - all of them made it despite not winning lmao). I also didn’t really get a chance to appreciate ruan until now and then her getting eliminated (along with almost ALL of the Japanese participants) hurts a lot 😭😭😭 but WOW this elimination was surprising. The bottom top nine shocked me (xiaoting, dayeon, mashiro, hikaru, yurina, and yujin are pretty much set to debut in my opinion - I can’t really see them not making it). But chaehyun and su ruqi being out was super surprising and I felt super bad for them (esp srq who definitely was affected by the part switch and evil editing) 😢 I’m thrilled about younggeun finally being a part of the top 9 (also if shana makes it i won’t be mad either - she’s a strong vocalist), but fyn making it after all the drama around her in the earlier episodes along w her high note issue is quite the comeback (I still can’t bring myself to really like her bc of her history of ca/saying the n word but at least she’s apologized??? Idk it’s definitely not my place to forgive her or not 😐😐). what’s your current prediction for the final lineup coming into the last mission? Do u think we’ll have a huge surprise or even the planet masters picking a 10th member like some people are predicting?? (1/2)

HELLO!! im so sorry for the late reply ive been really busy the past few days but im doing well despite everything that happened with gp999 this past week <3 i think this will be wen zhe's only attempt into kpop unless hickey disbands but with her group member coming back from The9 soon i don't think thatll happen but i would love to see her in the future - shes still my one pick but im not feeling that confident about her chances :( manami and the we are team's hug after eliminations had me SOBBING. thank you for enjoying my takes i really enjoyed yours aswell! i thought utopia might of lost huang xingqiao or bora tbh but its crazy they managed to keep everyone!!

oh god this message was sent before the interim rankings were posted :(( before they were tho, i disagreed with any of the foreign trainees being locks apart from xiaoting but... apparently no ones safe! the top9 did shock me aswell, i wasnt expecting fyn or shana to join (i was SO happy when shana did tho shes my top J pick atm) and i def wasnt expecting chaehyun to drop bc of how many K votes she gets and for the opposite reason i didnt expect srq bc of her high international votes. (also think its incredible that she's the only non korean in the interim rankings - the onepick system shows the dedication of her fanbase) youngeun is such an ace and would be a great help in the debut team imo - bc she can do everything, she can fill in the blanks that are missing in the lineup if its mostly vocalists or rappers. fyn making it was really shocking to me (i also dont particularly like her for her past plus personally i just don't like her vocal tone. i think it suited the bridge of snake but other than that its just not my thing) and i think her chances of making debut team is quite higher bc of the onepick system (bc of her rocky start, every fan she gained became diehard) which. i guess we'll see how people react to that?

for the final lineup, i think the most realistic line up is yujin, dayeon, chaehyun, yeseo/youngeun, srq/fyn, mashiro, xiaoting, and hikaru/yurina. those 11 have the strongest chance of debut imo, but after the interim rankings i feel like i know NOTHING bc we've never had one pick voting before its so AAAA!!!! however, i dont think we'll get a 10th member unfortunately :( theyve asked for name suggestions for a 9 member group and the whole shows branding is based around 9 - the only thing i could see was maybe 8 being public voted and the last member a planet passed member (bora, def) but even then i think the backlash would be too much
