Stuff you can do to my character: Anything!
Things to be aware of: She's immaterial, so normal physical attacks won't work. Also, reading her mind will reveal unpleasant nightmarish imagery. She'll come off as kinda creepy and 'off' to empathic senses. Finally, she's essentially a psychic entity so psychic senses'll probably pick that up. Spiritual/magical senses might or might not--it's up to you.
Stuff my character can do to yours: Sense what they fear. Create illusions. Mess with their dreams. Puppeteer them while they're sleeping or sleepy and make them sleepwalk and do stuff (though she doesn't do this often, there's generally no point to it for her).
Here's a handy permission form for you to fill out!
Can Deimonea mess with your character?
Just say yes/no to anything, you can say no to specific actions or to them all. If the answer's a no to everything, you don't need to fill out the rest of this.
What does your character fear?
It can be a simple primal fear like spiders or heights, it can be personal like the fear of losing your loved ones, it can be more complex or existential like the fear of your life's work coming to nothing.
Any requests?
If you actually want Deimonea to mess with your characters in specific ways, say so and I'll see what I can do.
Any taboo subject matter?
If it's a personal squick or you just don't want your character to experience something especially traumatizing, just say so here.

What does your character fear? Anything that's generally spooky/scary will get a scream out of Ibuki likely, but what would get her the worst is if you play off her fear of being alone.
No particular requests
Any taboo subject matter? She has some mindwiped memories that are technically still there but inaccessible to her. I'd prefer if Deimonea not go about unlocking these memories for certain reasons but if she can peek at them without making them known to Ibuki then I can give you more details?
no subject
no subject
What does your character fear? Water, being betrayed, being alone, losing control, suffocating, killing, dying, being trapped, hurting others.
Any requests? Since Whiz doesn't need to sleep or dream, I would prefer illusionary stuff, since that's what he specializes in and it would freak him the fuck out to see someone else doing it.
Any taboo subject matter? Recreational drug use, as unlikely as it is to come up. Also would prefer that Deimonea not reveal that Whiz is a fireball or in a giant lanternman until after it first happens in game, which will probably be a little ways down the line.

Totally.
What does your character fear?
"Normal" scary stuff probably won't really unsettle her too badly, Mukuro's emotional responses are all messed up and she has a lot of nightmares to begin with. Generally flashbacks about her abusive family, her time as a child soldier, or the Tragedy-- essentially the apocalypse in their universe, with lots of violent rioting. That she participated in and helped to make worse. Or when she was murdered via impalement.
Almost all of Mukuro's fears revolve around her twin sister, Junko. Junko being injured or killed while Mukuro is unable to protect her, Junko rejecting her, Junko killing her (...again) or forcing her to hurt their mutual friends. The sisters are not well-balanced individuals.
At this point, she would also be deeply distressed by her friends being hurt/killed in general, which sounds like an obvious thing but is especially worth mentioning because Mukuro's never had them before.
Any requests?
Nothing in particular.
Any taboo subject matter?
Go wild.

this might be long, i apologize
HOO BOY, SHE IS WELCOME TO TRY
What does your character fear?
Shockingly little. (Emotions are a little tricky for Kirei, and he's seen some crazy shit on top of that.)
He does have some deep existential fears mostly buried way down in repressed memories, mostly centered around his dead wife Claudia Ortensia. (you'll need to scroll down just a bit, unfortunately I can't find a video of the flashback) The summarized idea of that specifically is that he fears acknowledging her death as 'meaningless', because he firmly believes even worthless things have meaning. On top of that, he (slightly) fears the idea that his existence in itself was a mistake from the start.
As things stand in the context of RC, he's afraid of the idea that he can't be anything but
a main antagonistthe sadist he's going to be later in canon, and additionally the fact that he's incapable of being happy unless he does become that kind of person....Kirei's weird, I'm so sorry.
Any requests?
Nothing I can think of, but I will let you know should it come up!
Any taboo subject matter?
Nnnnope, I don't think I have any issues--again, I'll be sure to let you know.
Quick sidenote:
I'm not sure if this'll have any impact on anything, but here goes. Kirei literally lacks a heart (and for that matter a pulse) in the physical sense of the word; replacing it is black mud in the form of Angra Mainyu--tl;dr it's essentially the concept of 'evil' in physical form as an eldritch horror/pacemaker.
So that's uh. A thing.

Yes to all three of them.
What does your character fear?
Phoenix: He has a few basic fears, like a fear of heights and a mild fear of spiders. His greatest fear, however, is losing Maya, much like he thought he'd lost her in Labyrinthia.
Hiroshi: Hoo boy. Fear of big, blue things that eat your friends and/or turn them into them is obviously the big one. But he's also got fears of repeating his own mistakes, and having other people die as a result of them.
Soga no Tojiko: Tojiko doesn't fear a hell of a lot anymore what with being dead, but she definitely fears what would happen if she were ever forced off the material plane since she's basically screwed as far as Buddhist cosmology goes. Despite her best efforts, she hasn't really shaken her belief in the Buddhist afterlife yet.
Any requests?
Hiroshi picked up a weird habit of lucid dreaming after a nightmare event. There's been some weird things lurking in his head that he hasn't been able to crack open. Maybe Deimonea can help with taht.
Any taboo subject matter?
Nah.

How efficient her powers are on him depends on how her powers work. His ability, Imagine Breaker, has prevented him from receiving telepathic messages before and was able to sever a telepathic connection just by putting his hand in front of the person. It can be bypassed if her power doesn't need to travel from Point A to Point B to affect him, but then Touma would just instinctively touch his head and negate it anyway.
Since she's a psychic entity, you might want to check out my own permission post.
no subject
Just a couple of questions, though. Does it work in his sleep? Also, she can sense fears, but I suppose he might be able to negate that?
no subject
As for sensing his fear, that would end up getting negated.

Of course, it could be fun.
What does your character fear?
Ghosts, though his biggest fear is being put into a lab again. Specifically become the test subject of experimentation again and being locked in a cell with no windows while being given shots and forced to watch those around him die as a result of the experimentation.
He's also afraid of hurting those important to him such as Ciel and Ritsuka due to his strength which he has trouble gauging and controlling at times.
Any requests?
Nothing at the moment.
Any taboo subject matter?
None
no subject
Sure!
What does your character fear?
Edgeworth is secretly frightened of earthquakes and elevators. When he was a kid, he was stuck in an elevator with his father (thanks to an earthquake). He avoids elevators (taking the stairs). I also think that, since he idolised his father so much as a child that he is frightened of the idea that his father's ghost lied about his killer's identity during DL-6 and therefore his perfect image of Dad would be ruined (despite the fact that his father's ghost lied to protect his child).
Any requests?
Nothing I can think of.
Any taboo subject matter?
I’d rather Edgeworth doesn't get puppeteered to the point he attacks or kills someone. For years, he secretly feared that he killed his father by accident so managing to get him to kill someone could be permabreaking.
Note: I also have Komaeda but he has a good number of Dangan Ronpa 2 spoilers about him so I'm not sure if you want me to PM his permissions or not.
no subject
As for Komaeda, just comment and I'll screen it. It's easier for me to have everything all on one post for my convenience. EDIT: In fact, I've just turned on comment screening for this post.
no subject
Sure! Since he's just coming from a nightmarish world where he's spent the last decade being tortured, it shouldn't be too hard. He's not easily scared or intimidated, but since being brought to RC, making him unsettled, unnerved or otherwise super on guard is really easy. He doesn't trust the place at all and thinks it's another demon world.
What does your character fear?
Mundus finding Dante. Dante being in life-threatening danger while he's powerless to stop it.
Any requests?
Maybe a dream that convinces him that Ruby City is another demon world, and that Dante is in immediate danger. At the moment, he's worried that Dante's girlfriend, Rosa, is a demon that's just luring him into a false sense of security (she isn't, and somewhere I think he knows that, but his distrust of the city is so high that he isn't excluding the possibility) so that she can target Sparda's son (this is a theme in their lives).
Bonus points if all of this comes to light and Dante just doesn't see the problem at all and no matter what Vergil says, he can't get through to him. All the while, his body is deteriorating and he can't fight any of it himself.
Any taboo subject matter?
None that applies to Vergil? He wasn't sexually assaulted or anything during his imprisonment, so that's not an issue, and I can't think of anything else that would come up. If you're unsure about something, feel free to ask!
Additional notes:
Vergil's fears are easy enough to hit on, and he'll definitely be taken in by the illusion at first, but eventually, he can break himself out. In canon, a demon cast an illusion on him that he broke free of after playing through the scenario it set for him, so I kind of see that happening here? By the end of it, he'll know it was just a dream (and might even have an inkling that something or someone was controlling it, given what he's heard of overseers), but it'll be something that's kind of hard to shake for a little while.
no subject
What does your character fear? Big fears include failing his family, ending up the same as his grandfather (who shamed his family), shaming his family further, and failing a friend. Mid to low level fears include going through life perpetually lonely, losing control, and never being able to connect with others his age. Also being unable to stop delinquency would be kind of a big thing? He has a tendency to blame himself for things that aren't really his fault, or things he could have theoretically prevented but in reality had little chance of doing anything that would have impacted the situation.
More instinctual fears would be claustrophobia and large mallets.
Any requests? None in particular!
Any taboo subject matter? Consult Whiz's post.
no subject
Well he literally asked for it, so yes, Mickey can be messed with.
the little shit.What does your character fear?
The standard 'losing family and friends' deal, his homeworld lost to darkness, losing his heart, friends/family turning into heartless monsters, the usual sad stuff.
In more 'easy-going' fears, where we can laugh at him because he deserves it, he's afraid of deep water, like oceans, getting reprimanded by his master Yensid, and just general big monster spooky things. Like if there was a giant scary-looking monster that suddenly popped out of nowhere, Mickey would definitely be frightened and even give a yelp.
Any requests?
I'd prefer the 'easy-going' fears first and only get into the heart-breaking stuff if, say, Mickey ever makes her mad?
Any taboo subject matter?
No gore/explicit death stuff.
