Mind Control University/Characters

Daphne Miller
The protagonist. Shy, awkward wallflower. Technological genius. Manipulative schemer. Daphne doesn't look like one might expect a villainous brainwasher... which is one of the things that makes her so dangerous.


 * Adorkable
 * Anti-Villain: Of the Type 1 sort. Daphne, as she herself views it, does unjustifiable things, to people who've done nothing to deserve it, for purely selfish reasons. In her own views, she is a monster. At the same time, she is not without her own virtues, and dedicates time and effort toward being "the nicest possible monster".
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Daphne's shyness, adorkableness, social anxieties, and desire to help people are out are all genuine... but she deliberately plays them up to appear harmless, when she is anything but.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Brainwash innocent girls? Certainly. Depower the sole champion of a Crapsack World? Nope, nope, nope. She also doesn't like Ruby Mind Rapeing girls and turning them into empty shells or bimbos.
 * Gadgeteer Genius: Even before attending MCU, Daphne was working on prototypes of her own mind-control technology.
 * Manipulative Bitch: She may genuinely want to make others happy, but she is more than willing to lie, mind-control, and manipulate everyone to get what she wants.
 * A Mother to Her Slaves: Daphne will override your free will, make you love and worship her, brainwash you until you are completely loyal and obedient to her... but once you're her slave, she will go out of her way to keep you happy and healthy. She's making attend therapy sessions, and is looking into ways to solve the problems her slaves have back in their respective home dimensions.
 * Properly Paranoid: Takes a lot of security measures, and considers again and again the possibility that things aren't as they seem. In a place like MCU, that's just being cautious.

Dean Mesmerra
The one running Mind Control University... and, literally, the goddess of mind control.


 * Final Boss: Possibly. The possibility that Daphne might go up against her some day has been acknowledged outside the game itself.
 * Know When to Fold Them: Mesmerra is incredibly powerful, but there are fights even she doesn't want to pick.
 * Manipulative Bitch: Mesmerra cares about ensuring that mind-control happens. Whether or not people are harmed is not really a major concern in her eyes.
 * Physical God
 * Really 700 Years Old: She's been around for... a long, long time.

Miss Meme
A self-aware idea that has been brainwashing - sorry, "domesticating" countless humans in her own dimension. She has sent one of her hosts to serve as a hypnosis teacher at MCU.


 * Pet the Dog: An omake reveals that she asked Professor Norton for some tech to help cure diseases on her world.
 * Willing Channeler: Well, more like brainwashed channeler. Miss Meme's "hosts" are human beings who have been indoctrinated until they know exactly what she would think, do, and say in any given situation, and do what they believe she would want them to do - including serving as her mouthpiece.

Counselor Charity
The student counselor of MCU.


 * Happiness in Slavery: Unlike the teaching staff, Charity is not at MCU of her own free will, but because she's brainwashed by Mesmerra. Extensively, to the point where she can be her hyper-benevolent angelic self, support a school that teaches villainous mind-controllers how to enslave people, and not feel any pressure from cognitive dissonance.
