Name: Muika Okura
(Name Meaning: Muika - Six Days; Okura - Large Warehouse)

Birthday: October 31st
Age: 20
Gender: Female



Height: 5'6"
Weight: 116 lbs

Hair Colour/Style: Pale, cream-colored hair that flows down just past her ears, while there are a few, long lock on the back, layered under the shorter bit, that flows down to the small of her back. The longer part of her hair is tied together with a red ribbon. A single lock falls between her eyes, as she hates showing her full face.


Over-All Appearance: Muika has a pale complexion, not liking the sun and such and her eyes are red in color, with specks of violet within the iris, as she is partially heterochromic, that she tends to keep hidden by a pair of blue shades. Her right eye though is glazed over, as she is blind in that eye. On the ball of her left foot is a brand, the image being that of a snake wrapped around a blue-bell flower. Around her left wrist is a thin scar, made by a rope, while the palm of her left hand rests four smaller scars where her nails had dug into her skin; both obtained from her time within Bell's Viper during a certain event, she easily hides the scar on her wrist though with her hoodie and arm warmers. She wears a thin chain wrapped multiple times around her left wrist, on the chain, resting on the underside of her wrist is a red gem, the source of her powers.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Personality: Muika is a very un-trusting person due to trauma she experienced throughout her life, she's usually guarded when talking with others and tends to be cautious of people in general. Aside from her distrust in most others, she's a very quiet and shy person, and not the most confident. She has trouble expressing her true emotions when necessary and will usually silence herself rather than speak.

Clothing: Muika's main outfit is a thin, long, black, tank-top covered by a slightly-oversized, sky-blue hoodie with five, thin, white stripes going across it. She wears a black mini-skirt that barely shows from under the hoodie and black leggings. On her arms are elbow-length, blue and black striped arm-warmers. Her shoes are a dirty pair of black converses she'd found thrown away.

For a bathing suit, Muika wears a vibrant hot-red bikini, the front connected by various straps giving it a corset-like appearance, the bottom of the top is frilled. In a bright orange, there is a firey pattern on the bikini, completing it's appearance. Although being extremely self conscious about her body, Muika really actually likes the bathing suit.




Race: Fullbringer
Abilities:

Previously
Gem of Deception

Spoiler:

Currently
With the evolution of her powers that now lay within the watch given to her by Iyuki rather than her original chain and gemstone -- Muika's abilities have gained a new outer appearance to match with her strengthened powers.

Before, due to her dislike of her item, she was unable to access it's true power and thus was always fighting with an already weakened ability.

Now with an item she truly treasures and holds a positive attachment to, Muika's watch can now take the form of hidden, retractable blades attached to her arm by a bracer under her wrist, while her arms are covered in a black wrap that extends from her upper arm down to her hands, holding a number of clocks of varying sizes on its surface. Along with this change, her illusion-ary abilities aid her in taking the physical form of a cloak that covers half of her form while the other side hands freely, the cloak's presence giving off the effect of an eerie appearance to those that face her, and forcing their attention elsewhere so as not to look at her and become unnerved, making it difficult to track her in a fight and predict her attacks.

Visual Example



Muika ran away from home at the age of six soon after watching her father commit suicide. She'd lived on the streets then, in fear of being taken to some orphanage. She couldn't remember anything about her mother, only knowing she'd been killed mysteriously. After about seven months living on her own, surviving off of scraps and kind donations of others, she was taken by figures cloaked in black garbs. They were members of a cult, they enjoyed experimenting on people; children mainly. Children who weren't deemed strong enough to withstand the cult's experiments were sold to brothels, but Muika had been one of the children deemed strong enough to survive. Day in and day out was nothing short of a living hell, the experiments were brutal; ranging from newly invented drugs to testing out new weapons.

At the age of twelve she lost the use of her right eye due to one of the drugs that had been used on her. She'd been heartbroken then, but also thankful that she was still alive. Five years later, at the age of seventeen, Muika couldn't take it anymore; she wanted to escape. It was at that moment she'd discovered her Fullbringer ability.

After escaping, she continued to live her life as she had before. Having no true home, Muika traveled from city to city, eventually she found an old, abandoned shack in the the woods just outside of the city. She works various jobs to earn money to buy food and clothes so she can survive, refusing to accept charity from anyone anymore. Muika never mentions her past, when/if people notice her blind eye and ask about it, she'll simply respond there'd been an accident.

When it comes to ghosts and hollows, Muika doesn't show much interest. On occassion, she will slay hollows to train herself, but her distaste in the activity is obvious.

Muika's personality can vary, as she has taken to acting to get in or out of certain situations. Her true personality, which only those that grow close to her learn about, is rather overly serious as her past had, in short, "frozen" her heart and emotions of happiness. Maybe though, that can one day change...?


Other:

Name: Seiya Nomura
(Name meaning: Seiya – sincere one; Nomura - Village in the field)
Gender: Male

Appearance: Seiya has short, chin length, light caramel-colored hair; cut shorter in the back whereas his bangs are pushed to his right. Wears the standard white lab coat over a black, button up shirt. To match he wears black dress pants and shoes.

Personality: Seiya comes off as kind and caring, acting as the only source of hope and happiness for Muika growing up. His true personality is that of nothing but pure evil. Manipulative, the type who will take advantage of anyone to get what he wants.

Basic Appearance (Aside from the eyes):

Spoiler:

--

Seiya was one of the first people Muika met going into the Bell's Viper (temp name), as he was one of the doctors that worked on the injured or dying subjects.

Throughout the years, he was Muika's escape from the terrors of Bell's Viper's experiments. He treated her like a person, called her by her name instead of the number she'd been given (613), as names for the children did not matter. Muika had complete trust in him, as he showed her nothing but sincerity and kindness; even going as far to share his meals with her. When Muika turned thirteen, he'd given her the necklace she presently wears wrapped around her wrist; stating the color of the gem was beautiful on her and suited her perfectly.  Muika had not once received a gift such as that, and treasured it the moment he'd given it to her.

After having been knocked unconscious in a forced battle, Muika awoke late into the night only to realize she'd been chained to her bed. It wasn't long after she woke that Seiya had entered the room. She felt relief at first, asking if what had happened and why she was chained up.

Seiya's true personality came alive then, as Muika slowly began to realize what was going on. Seiya had betrayed her. That night, Muika was broken; Seiya having stolen something from her that she would never get back. He'd betrayed her, leaving her in a broken mess in the aftermath of what had been done.

Name: Iyuki Osamoto

Birthday: November 18th
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Height: 5'11

Hair Color/Style: Iyuki has dark purple hair that is long enough to reach his shoulder in parts, since it is cut in layers, and has been growing out. He keeps it down and lets it fall over his face in a ruffled sort of way and sometimes pulls it back in a ponytail.

Over-All Appearance: Iyuki is thin and doesn’t gain a lot of muscle mass even with exercise and weight training, instead he gets wiry muscles. His eyes are dark blue and he tends to smile quite a bit. His skin is a light color, easily burnt by the sun and he prefers shade and nighttime to the harsh daylight.
A general picture.

Spoiler:

Clothing: He wears dark clothes, black and dark blues or dark purple and normally wears a long coat even in summer. The picture above is what he normally wears. He never goes to the beach and he rarely ever takes off more than his coat in the company of others.

Personality: Iyuki is a rather happy and kind individual, though he can come across as soft spoken and formal to those he's meeting for the first time. He prefers formal titles and names, loving to take on the persona of a butler and can also be quiet, though with a soft smile on his features then.

Iyuki prefers to run away from fights but he can be very disciplined when it comes to practicing his powers. He knows he is no good at combat, though he is willing to help or aid as much as is possible.

He loves to help others, thinking there are few better things in life than that. He has spent many days looking for lost pets or family heirlooms. Iyuki also adores cooking and cleaning, spending much of his time doing so if allowed.


Race: Human Fullbring.
Abilities:Iyuki is rather well at soul manipulation, it being his real only way to fight or defend himself since his powers are fully support type. He is pretty decent at Bringers Light in addition, due to the soul manipulation coming to him easy due to his regular ability.

His fullbring manifests as a pair of glasses and allows him to find and connect things together. When fully evoked, the lens of the glasses change color to a dark blue and it flows down his body in thick blue lines. The lines end at each finger and his feet.

It works by showing him 'colors', they aren't colors he could ever describe because they aren't on the spectrum of what is visible light. They can fade after a bit of time, when he focuses on one set of colors or looks, he is given information about it in a form of instinctual information. It isn't as if he is reading it from a book or seeing it, he instead just has that information form inside of his head.

They are affected by Time/Emotion/Iyuki's knowledge of the person. He can see all the different races, even if their powers are subdued or hidden. Even if the 'colors' for each person are different, the races all share one thing in common, with supernatural beings having almost a braided thread of the not colors.

Normal humans have one melded color and they are bright and shining, each person's being different.

Dead souls have only one color, generally a faded tinge to it.

Shinigami have a dark cast to their set of four colors, one color always being infrablack.

Hollows are given merely two colors, both light and normally coated in a glowing whitish stuff.

Arrancar have four colors, coated in the same glistening whitish stuff.

Fullbringers have three colors, the only set of beings to do so.

Quincies are given two, coated in another glowing stuff that could be similar to a blue in human terms.

Hi-Spec Humans have two colors, one of which looks like the entirely normal human melded colors, while one is a PURE bright shining beacon.

Bounts generally are the worst, being they carry souls inside of them, so their normal set of two melded colors is overlaid by whatever kind of soul is inside them like a cloak.

By placing tiny bits of the not color that is his own in areas of the colors, he can send out alerts to himself depending on the kind of alert he set up ahead of time. He can set up alerts for specific people, allowing 'friend coming' or enemy etc.

His power will allow him to manipulate the colors to his fully extent. This could even trick those who sense powers well into thinking someone gives off the wrong signature or none at all or more than they usual do. He could even allow others to see the notcolors and world as he sees it for short periods of time for them all, or allow them partial seeing for certain races/people.

Biography: Coming from a very rich and odd family with a history of weird shenanigans, the withdrawn and rather harried young man left home once he graduated high school. His parents tried for his sake to allow him some form of normalcy, but things always ended up turning out oddly. With his sister the heir to the conglomerate throne and his brother taking up the more public side of things with his modeling career and posterboy looks... he felt he was unneeded as the third child.

Hence why he left on the gifted old motorcycle to travel and learn, holding many small jobs and rarely staying in one place for too long. Other than small purchases on a family card to let them know he was alive, he kept out of contact for fear they would drag him back and try to soothe his ego.

Without a real purpose he wandered until he finally settled down in a large city somewhere in Japan...

Name: Rin Aoyama
(Name Meaning: Rin - Cold; Aoyama - Green Mountain)

Birthday: February 20th
Age: 24
Gender: Male

Height: 5'9"
Weight: -- lbs

Hair Color/Style: Rin has messy, medium-short gray-ish blue hair aside from the few dirty-white locks.

Over-All Appearance: Rin is a pale, thin man with bright, yellow eyes that always seem half closed as if he were tired. He always keeps himself well groomed and clean despite his forever tired appearance. He has a thin scar running across his left palm that he received in car accident when he was young.

Basic Appearance

Spoiler:

Basic Appearance as of "Accident at the Aoyama's"

Spoiler:

Personality: Rin is cursed with a rather tired personality, as in he seems to always be tired so he sometimes comes off as if he lacks emotion. Despite his personality though he's quick to finish what ever work he needs to do quickly and always makes sure to do a good job and listen carefully when people talk to him.

When writing or drawing, he's often very concentrated on his work so it may take a bit to tear his attention away from it which can be a hindrance to him when he's working in public.

Clothing: [Description Soon]


Race: Fullbringer
Abilities: The source of Rin's power resides in his scarf, so he ultimately must work his daily outfits around it so it's always on his person. Upon pulling his scarf from his neck he has the ability of transforming it into it's true form, a long, golden whip which he can use in combat. When in battle against an opponent Rin can issue enough force in his strikes to inflict major damage upon his enemy, as he always goes for a blow to the head as it's the quickest way of ending a fight. If the fight is prolonged he sometimes resorts to using the whip as a constraint on his opponent, flinging it to wrap tightly around the arm of his enemy to give him enough time to inflict physical damage.

Paralysis - If Rin hones enough energy into his strikes and hits successfully he can stun his opponent by either their physical movement or their spiritual ones, preventing some mid to weaker spiritual attacks from working for a short time.  

At will Rin's whip can become razor sharp; if one's limb is wrapped within it, if he chooses to activate its sharpness it could cause detrimental harm to his opponent. If he is using it by striking, it also has the ability to cut if the sharpness is activated in likeness to a blade.

Biography:
After a bad car accident at the age of thirteen, Rin lost the memories of his childhood and spent over a year in the hospital recovering. He constantly received visits from a young girl who identified herself as his twin sister, Ruka, who would always tell him about their childhood because he couldn't recall it himself and also tried to reassure him everything would be alright when he was finally released from the hospital, that they'd live together and support each other.

While in the hospital, he picked up the hobby or writing and drawing to pass the time when the nurses, doctors, or Ruka weren't present. He found it enjoyable and often got lost in his own imagination when he indulged himself in his hobbies, his stories becoming popular among the female staff. When released he returned home and lived with Ruka, who took care of the cooking while he took care of cleaning.

At the age of sixteen he published his first novel, which, like his stories in the hospital, was extremely popular among the female gender. He decided to continue and make turn his hobby into a profession then, and became a popular romance author.

Throughout his life, even the portion he couldn't recall, Rin always had his scarf. Ruka had told him it'd been a gift from their late father, who'd died in the car accident. Although Rin could not remember his father, he felt a great connection towards the elegant scarf, it being one of the last things to remember someone he'd been close to. He kept it close to him at his bedside in the hospital and sometimes fell asleep with it, holding it close to him as if trying to recall all the memories he couldn't remember.

His memories never returned to him though, and he continues to live without  them.

Rin discovered his ability soon after publishing his book, having returned home after a rather stressful day, he attempted to throw the scarf from his neck to his bed, but in doing so it transformed much to his surprise. At first he'd panicked, confusion overtaking him at this strange occurrence. Later he'd been grateful Ruka hadn't been home, as he didn't want to scare her with whatever it was that was happening to him.

To this day he is still confused about his abilities, having turned to no one for guidance, as he was quite sure this wasn't even a human problem. When alone he'll frequently toy with it, trying to learn more about what it is or how the transformation occurs. When attacked by hollows, he'd quickly learned to use it to defend himself, although his starting skills being rather rusty. Since then he's learned to wield it properly on his own for self defense and has kept it a secret from everyone.


Ruka Aoyama - Rin's twin sister, she shares a resemblance with Rin, such as her hair, and eye color, though she lacks the white locks of hair Rin does. Ruka possesses a rather happy, and playful personality, and enjoys teasing Rin and those she considers friends.

Name: Vera, among many others

Birthday: Celebrated April 19th
Age: 26
Gender: Female

Height: 5'10"

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Vera has always been the thoughtful type, prone to introversion and shyness.  Although generally quick witted and cynical, she's never outright hostile and generally enjoys the company of others, however rare it may be.  Due to her unique power, she doesn't do many things as herself, generally interacting with others almost exclusively through her power.

Clothing: Usually something very simple.  The tank top and jeans in her character image are not out of nature for her.  Neither would pajamas or T-Shirts be out of place on her.


Race: Human
Abilities:PERSONA. (No.  Not like the game.  Ugh.  Weaboos.)

Vera's ability is simple in concept, but has infinite possibilities.  Using masks as a focus, Vera can assume any number of personas.  By creating a unique mask, she can take on a wholly different persona from her own.  More then a simple act, her power acts in the most extreme way possible.  Although Vera retains her memories, it's essentially all that sticks.  Her physical appearance changes completely, taking on any range of height, weight, age, race (Although she by all rights appears and is sensed as a member of whatever race she picks, she does not gain any active or passive abilities of those races, although they can possess physical abilities that can pass for them), or even gender.  Furthermore, under this change, Vera is not in fact acting.  When she dons a mask, she takes on an entirely different personality.  Different drives, motivations and morals.  She essentially becomes a different person.  And that's her power.  Being other people.

In addition to the primary ability, Persona has several sub-abilities.

Manifest: The ability of the Persona to manifest their personality and pseudo-identity in the form of a power.  All manifests require a focus, usually a specific item of importance to the Persona, to use.  If the focus is lost or broken, it can be regenerated with the Persona's reiatsu (regenerating a focus that was simply lost will make the old one deteriorate and disappear)

Hair Dec: Not a hair dec the Persona wears.  Instead, it's a hair decoration placed on a mask when Vera dons it.  Each and every mask has a coinciding hair decoration attached somewhere to the mask, which can be removed and attached to a different one.  By doing so, this allows the corresponding Persona to ride back-seat in the mind of the Persona being assumed.  So if Vera were to put Lauren's Hair-Dec on Regulus' mask, she would become Regulus, but Lauren would be conscious, able to see and hear everything Regulus can, as well as able to communicate with him mentally.  However, she would not be able to control the body, speak to others (unless they were telepaths), or utilize her manifest.

Spoiler:

Biography: Vera's early days are hazy.  She was orphaned for mundane reasons at a young age.  She remembers being mostly miserable and unable to be picked up for adoption.  Everything changed when her power developed however.  At first she used it for silly reasons.  It wasn't very long before she realized the potential she had.  Life became different when she could be old enough to get a job.  It wasn't long before she was able to strike out on her own.  In the early days it played out an awful lot like the plot of Big, minus the parts where he becomes rich.  Things got better over time and it wasn't long before she dropped off the map completely.  After all, when she could make any identity she wanted, it wasn't ever too hard to get by." />" />

Name: Riye Niou
(Name Meaning: Riye - Blessed with logic; Niou - ??)

Birthday: December 6th
Age: 21
Gender: Female

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 123lbs

Hair Color/Style: Gray in color, Riye's hair extends down slightly past her shoulders, barely passing her chest; being wavy in style while her bangs are long, usually hanging in her face but she never seems that bothered by it.

Over-All Appearance: Riye is a slim girl, her usually dull-colored attire always making her pink eyes stand out with their bright hue. She appears young, mostly due to lacking certain assets that typically define an adult woman; she isn't bothered by that however, content with the mid-B cup size she has.

Riye Niou

Spoiler:

Personality: Usually quiet, Riye doesn't seek out socialization very often due to certain reasons but she is also not opposed to it; when comfortable she can even find herself teasing occasionally. She has a variety of interests and once others get to know her they would discover she's actually very sociable and enjoys other peoples company.

Clothing: Tending to wear darker clothes, Riye's usual outfit consists of [Description Soon...]


Race: Fullbringer
Abilities: The source of Riye's abilities lie within a silver ring in which she always wears on her left index finger, which she obtained from her late mother when she was a small child. Until she was old enough, she wore it on a chain around her neck until she'd grown enough for the ring to fit her finger.

When activated, Riye's ring can morph over her flesh as a type of metallic, hard, layer; providing easy defense in case she were to be attacked by a hollow. While she realizes it could also be of help offensively, she prefers to stick to defense as she isn't a fighter by any means.

She can't however, keep this ability up forever, as it drains energy and exhausts her.

Biography:

Riye moved from home to home, being raised by multiple people and families as she grew up after her mother had died. Her mother had been weak after having given birth and had only survived for three more years after her daughter was born. It was from then on Riye was given away to various families, but some either couldn't afford to keep her after a certain point while others grew annoyed with her.

She'd gained spiritual awareness when she was young and hadn't understood why she could see things others couldn't, when she tried to tell others it wasn't something they believed and therefore grew angry with her for her apparent constant lying. Riye eventually kept quiet about it and despite being scared of the some of the spirits she encountered she kept her mouth shut; only shouting at them to leave her alone and stop bothering her when she was sure she was alone. It was difficult for her to make friends due to this, since rumors had spread about how she lies about seeing things that weren't there.

Riye had managed to settle with one family for awhile when she'd reached her second year of high school but her happiness was short lived, as malicious spirits had caught her scent and taken the lives of the couple that had taken her in. Upon discovering the grisly scene Riye was once again without a family. The deaths of the couple going down as a cold case, as a murderer could not be identified.

After that incident, Riye began living alone since she was at the legal age to do so. Eventually, she'd met some ghosts that she could get along with; but they were never around for long due to eventually moving on. She lives alone in her own apartment located within the city, working as a waitress a cat cafe to make some extra cash.

Spoiler:

Personality: Aito can come across as rude, short tempered, and blunt.

After a determined amount of use, which is determined through his willpower and control over his own reiatsu and strength, his weapon requires a cool-down period before it can be used again.

His item is a metal phone charm, that he keeps hooked to the underside of his wrist on a leather bracelet that wraps multiple times around his wrist.

Biography: Aito was orphaned at a young age due to a robbery turned homicide occurrence within his home at the age of five. At the time of the robbery, Aito had hid in a hidden in a hidden compartment under the floorboards of his home in his parent's wine cellar.

In his later years, after the riot caused by 613 that had led to her escape, Aito was used as a tracker for Bell's Viper under the authority of Seiya Nomura. The job he was granted with was gaining intelligence and seeking out the escaped subjects that had escaped during the riot.

: It has the ability to shred through spiritual things or people given enough time and force and add its spiritual strength to Ryou's.

Spoiler:

-Bringer Light: Ryou's bringer light allows him to move very fast. Enough to keep up with some of the top speedsters.

Biography: Ryou Kusanagi, the younger brother of Hayate Kusanagi, was a Shinigami initially, at least until he signed up for a experiment to strengthen shinigami. Unlike the experiment his sister was a part of, his was more intensive since he was inherently stronger than her and thusly held more potential for growth. Little did he know that he'd end up turning into a monster unlike anything anyone's seen before.

Ryou was spliced with all the known races, combining all their unique powers into one body. This made him highly unstable until he showed off one of his new abilities: The ability to devour another being. This power stablized him as well as strengthened him and he continued to devour everything in his path until he was finally sealed by his creator inside of a human body. This sealed away most of his powers and dropped his abilities down to nearly nothing.

But Ryou was a crafty one and hid a portion of his power within himself so that he could access it later. He then began to rebuild his power slowly, his mind now focused on the insatiable appetite for others he now had.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Personality: Miyako is a tame individual, a normal human of sorts. With a normal family, a little sister and going to art school, she lives her life rather normally and it shows in her general surprise and awe of the spiritual world shenanigans. Generally happy and calm, she is quick to smile and show her emotions, whether they be annoyance or fear or anger. She does not cycle through them very quickly though and it may take a bit to make her angry. She doesn’t deal well with good shocks and is easy to convince of things, being somewhat gullible.

Personable and chatty, she tends to be a hard worker and is willing to get her hands dirty to get something done! She tries to be empathetic and caring and works at it, though at times she can come across as uncaring in true teenage fashion.

She adores painting and drawing, being something she is rather good at. She won a district award last semester for a piece she did and it will soon be going onto nationals.

Clothing: Usually seen wearing her school uniform (The above picture) she loves cute fashion and tends to where whats in style at the time.


Race: Hi-Spec Human
Abilities:
Tenkai Sumi (Celestial Brush):

Her power manifest around her charm bracelet. When she summons it, nine calligraphy brushes appear in her dominant left hand between her fingers. They are all attached at their ends to longish chains that are attached to one around her wrist and hold them there when she's not using them.

Using the summoned brushes, she can ‘paint’ by dipping into the air and layering her energy over wounds and other things to restore them to full health or their original state!

Another power is the power to alter the world around her! If she stares straight ahead and envisions something, she can potentially make it with the brush strokes. The more strokes, the more power she uses up. While using this power, her eyes glow brightly.

Examples: Making a special secret passage way to and from the school through a dead end alley and a wall of the schools. Or SUDDENLY TREE! Etc etc.

In her head she would see the strokes in the air creating what she is envisioning and her few strokes would bring it to life.

pls:

Biography: Getting into a prestigious school near home, for those talented in the arts, she has been a model student and is soon to enter her final year in high school! However strange things keep happening in her city, things she has no choice but to draw or paint and she started seeing ghosts recently. Afraid her family might think she is too stressed from such a strict and fancy school, she’s been keeping her worries to herself for now.

Name: Nadia Rashid

Birthday: August 22nd
Age: 23
Gender: Female

Height: 5'11"

Hair Color/Style: Her jet black hair is parted well to the side, most of it hanging over to the other side of her head, the bit south of the part kept short but not shaved.  Her hair tends to cover her right eye when she doesn't push it back.

Over-All Appearance: Nadia is a rather thin woman, at least for her size, though this is in part due to how well toned she is, though she has no readily visible muscle definition.  Her smoothly dark skin shows signs of the rough history she has.  While distinctly feminine, she's nonetheless some what androgynous, with a rather firm, though elegantly shaped, jawline.  

Her eyes are surrounded by perpetually dark circles, leading some to mistakenly believe she is always wearing eyeliner, which is something she rarely bothers with.  In fact, other than a rather soft lip gloss, she rarely ever tends to bother with make up of any sort, outside of special occasions.

Her casual attire usually consists of some sort of tight fitting tank top and some kind of Jeans or cargo pants, or sweatpants if she REALLY doesn't care.  Under nicer conditions, she's been known to be a fan of jackets.  She has no piercings because they tend to give off a glint she's not a fan of, but she does have a number of tattoos.

Personality: Nadia isn't the most cheerful person.  In fact, stoic or 'grumpy' comes to mind.  She can't really be blamed for this, given her upbringing, but she has an extremely hard time expressing herself.  Generally she looks upset even when she's at a normal disposition and "not frowning" is what she does when she's happy, though her kid sister does occasionally get a grin out of her.  

Despite her flat expression, she lives a borderline carefree life.  She has a lot in savings from shady business done here and there and works as a skating instructor regularly.  But a lot of her day is spent drinking and then passing out on some piece of furniture or another, much to her sister's chagrin.  

She has a rather solid love of metal, although hardly anyone who she knows is aware.  This is because she is one of the few metal fans on the planet to become aware of the advent of headphones, while simultaneously being free of the compulsion to thrash around like an idiot.  Unless she is just... just minutes away from passing out.  There is a brief zenith of thrashing that occurs there which usually LEADS to the passing out, from all the headbanging while blackout drunk.


Race: Hi-Spec
Abilities: Nadia has the power to summon spirits. Specific spirits, specifically. She has six spirits that normally lie dormant as tattoos, but at a touch, they come to life, floating around her invisible to all but the spiritually aware. These spirits have little ability to interact with the world around them. However, how they really help Nadia is by taking the form of various pieces of gear that aid her.

Each of them has its own form, tattoo and piece of gear it turns into with its own unique ability. physically damaging a piece of gear reverts it into a spirit and stuns it for a while. However, killing a spirit reverts it to a mundane tattoo on Nadia's skin. To resummon a spirit that has been killed, it takes a full pint of Nadia's blood.

=Raijin -
Form: A gold spirit cat with a lightning-like mane.
Tat: A picture of excalibur, the hilt usually sticking just above any cleavage her shirt shows. The sword goes down before ending at her breast with a bit of blood welling around, the tip of the sword illustrated coming out the other side.
Gear: Forms an assault rifle with a beast's head engraved along the side. Bullets are imbued with Nadia's spiritual energy.

-Lumia-
Form: Small white snake.
Tat: This one is actually of a white snake. The tail of it hangs just below where her boxers usually come to and wraps around her leg going up to her lap, where the head rests, as if menacingly guarding it.
Gear: Wraps around Nadia's wrist as a bangle and projects hand grenades into her hand that explode with blinding light and the force of a cero when thrown.

-Nightcap-
Form: Small little mushroom man, like a Goomba.
Tat: A jellyfish on her right wrist. Specifically a portugese man o' war.
Gear: Forms a long black blade, like a katana but completely straight. Instead of cutting people, however, it renders them drowsy or unconscious.

-Ulysses-
Form: A tiny blue adorable dragon
Tat: A tribal tattoo covering Nadia's upper left arm.
Gear: A half cape that hangs off one shoulder. Any object trying to pass through the outside of the cape becomes momentarily intangible, passing through the cape and, consequently, Nadia harmlessly. Cannot be used to portal cut or Shadowkat people or things.

-Dart-
Form: A red hummingbird with an arrowhead face.
Tat: The skull of a bull on Nadia's upper back.
Gear: Forms a pair of sunglasses that display relevant information about targets, as well as displays a reticle for Raijin.

-Zephyr-
Form: Fluffy white like a rabbit.
Tat: A pair of wings wrapped around Nadia's ankles going up to her shins.
Gear: Forms a pair of wedges that attach to the bottom of Nadia's boots and pull air through them to act like high speed skates. Can pull Nadia through the air too.

Biography: Nadia was born to a Saudi-Arabian family living in Yemen.  She doesn't remember much of her childhood, but she does remember being put in a truck one day and most things after that.  She was trained and used as a child soldier in a conflict she still to this day doesn't know much about, albeit in part from trying to know as little as possible.

What she does know is that she was extremely good at it, which is the primary reason she's still alive.  It may have been in part to her burgeoning powers, but they didn't truly manifest until the last battle she was in.  She was the only survivor on her side because they were wiped out by the enemy.  However, as her powers first manifested, there wound up not being anyone on the OTHER side of the conflict left to tell of it either.  

Traumatized and newly given the power to escape this whole life, she did the only thing she could think to do.  Go home.  What she found at home though was not what she expected.  She'd expected ruins, or squalor.  Instead she found her father and a n infant.  It turned out that, in exchange for his own hide, he'd first given the militia her.  And then when they came back, this time it was her mother.

She did the only thing that made sense.

And soon she was travelling west with an infant.  She didn't fully remember what all it took before she wound up in America.  In fact, to this day, she's fairly certain she's repressed some of that and is happy to leave it alone.  But it all meant that her sister was in a foster family with her before she was old enough to remember much of their old life and that was enough for Nadia.  

Since then, Nadia has found her powers to at best break even with the hassle being spiritually aware has caused her.  Trouble seems to beget more trouble and not rarely did she wind up mixed up with the wrong crowd due to her talents.  Eventually she was old enough to claim legal guardianship of her sister herself.  It was only recently though that they moved to Japan to escape some unpleasantness Nadia had gotten herself involved in.

Name: Ikue Iseri

Birthday: September 23rd
Age: 20
Gender: Female

Height: 5'5”
Weight:

Hair Color/Style: Ikue has soft, neatly styled, long black hair with an even cut that she always makes sure looks its best in public. Though she can occasionally face problems in humidity.

Over-All Appearance: Ikue is a slim woman with light skin, her eyes a stormy gray in color. She rarely shows much skin, though it's not due to self-consciousness, just a personal preference in style.

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: She is quiet and perhaps a tad shy in nature, but Ikue can be a rather nice person once becoming acquainted with her, and her emotions show rather obviously. She tends to be easily embarrassed, though her reactions are mostly subtle, a quiet blush here and there most of the time. When it comes to being excited over things, her reactions are a little bit more obvious as she perks up and becomes a bit restless when it comes to things she loves.

Clothing: Ikue's usual dress fits to her form, black and white in color with a fluffy collar; her dress is usually matched with a pair of black tights and matching shoes. At home, she tends to wear larger clothing to relax in, that is bigger than her small size.


Race: High-Spec Human
Abilities: If Ikue possess the ability of far-scrying, and is able to peek in on things if she focuses hard enough. Her ability is better controlled through contact with glass, as her abilities are new she is still learning how to properly work with and use them.

As well as her far-scrying, she can feel certain feelings if something important or bad is about to happen, which gives her time to assess danger and take whatever action necessary.


Biography: Having recently moved away from her hometown, Ikue is now in a rather esteemed university, working hard in her studies day by day. She does miss her mother and older sister, who she'd been living with before she'd started school, but she keeps in touch, her sister having recently gone overseas to work on her own studies.  

She began seeing ghosts at the age of fourteen, though she never said anything about it after awhile as her sister had laughed it off as a game, which told Ikue that she was the only one able to see them. Since no one other than her could see them it seemed...she had her worries; seeing these ghosts without knowing if anyone else could scared her and she often wondered if something was wrong with her.

Name: Tsuyoshi Kurosawa

Birthday: April 3rd
Age: 26
Gender: Male

Height: 6'3
Weight: He's muscled but not hugely built. Dunno what weight that would be.

Hair Color/Style:His current hair color is rather fake for him. Its a slightly past chin messy cut, of a dark almost magenta like red. Definitely not a true red or crimson, he messed up the dye a bit this time...

Over-All Appearance: A tall man, well built with muscle, Tsuyoshi is pretty sure someone in his family lied about his parentage due to his height. He towers above most people in Japan and was a regular stand out when he was young in school. For the moment he has dark red hair, though it isn't a crimson and more a magenta tone. His eyes are a dark red, shining out despite his copious hair color changes over the years.  His mouth is filled with almost shark like teeth, a bit pointier than usual.

On his right arm is a tattoo, almost tribal like design and he has a few intricate spirals trailing down his left side and back. They follow down his torso and abdomen and go into his pants and partially down his leg...and lower than pants reach. The best drunken tattoo he ever got and now also has a magical tattoo on his face, covering his left eye. He also has a few piercings in his ears for when he feels like wearing some though its only on occasion.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Clothing: Tsuyoshi generally wears jeans and t-shirts, with sometimes zip up jackets or hoodies. Their designs generally vary but he has things written on them generally or some sort of designs.

Personality: Tsuyoshi likes to give off airs of calm and confidence, but really he's a flustered mess inside most of the time. Bad with women, he blushes at the slightest compliments they think and can become too flustered to do much else despite his age. Otherwise he likes to pretend to be some cool rogue who cheats casino's to survive. He can be twitchy, especially in large crowds as it takes more concentration to keep from hearing all the thoughts around him. Casinos are bad for that, but he's had lots of practice keeping control there. It helps that he can come off as cool and aloof in them because of that.

Tends to drink himself to sleep at night so he can deal with the thoughts of people that are rather odd at night, if he ends up sleeping somewhere near others. Sometimes he just finds a park or something and sleeps there instead.



Race: Hi-Spec
Abilities: Psychic Powers

Instead of manifesting in the usual way, his powers manifested in stereotypical psychic abilities.

-He can read surface thoughts at will (and against will) in a 30 foot bubble around him , though higher level spiritual beings he has to be closer. HC level would almost have to be touching to read their thoughts. He could delve deeper into someone's mind but it takes a lot of concentration plus physical contact, he's gotta want to bad and have somewhere to focus on it.

-He has telekinesis, the ability to shift things around with his mind and control them. He can't exactly move large crates around or huge boxes, but he can control multiple things at once. Mostly uses it for picking up and cleaning at this point.

-He can teleport things, though highly limited. He can teleport things a set distance such as in an apartment to another room in it. The general mass of it can't be more than a regular sized paperback novel. He can't teleport organic materials either and it has to go somewhere immediately. He can't just indefinitely hold it in there. Nor can he teleport things INTO solid objects, though he could teleport out something out of inorganic material. Like say a pin holding a coat/cloak closed or something stuck in a wall.

Biography:Drifter, wandering from place to place using his telekinesis and telepathy/kinesis/porting to just win at casinos or other such places. Never wanted to live this life but kind of stuck in it.

He left his hometown after school when his grandparents who raised him died.

Name: Hua Xun

Birthday:  July 22nd
Age: 124
Gender: Female

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 110 lbs

Hair Color/Style: Her hair is black and short, almost in a pixie cut.

Over-All Appearance:

Spoiler:

And a better picture of her face

Spoiler:

Personality: There are two major sides to Hua's personality.  The first of which would be the one most people encounter.  Mysterious, confident, dark and dangerous.  Hua is a killer.  She rather fully embraces her lot in life, more than happy to feed on souls.  However, she sees no value in consuming the helpless innocents.  To her, the true delicacies are the dangerous souls.  Thugs, Criminals, even other killers.  She's in no way a vigilante.  She's not concerned with justice.  To her it's a predator stalking her prey.

There is, however another side to her.  That of a somewhat beleaguered girl, who never signed on for the other aspects of her lifestyle.  Her mother requires consistent care and the small community of bounts that her family travels with can be demanding, especially of their strongest member.  

Hua is rather proud of her appearance, though is too socially cautious to display it much.  Her vanity shows through when being flattered, which is a particularly easy way to sway her opinion.

Clothing:: Hua is particularly fond of skimpier assortments of clothing, though she still values class in her choices.  She covers up better when she has to interact in regular society, though is less comfortable.


Race: Bount
Abilities:  XuèXiàn (Bloodwire)

XuèXiàn takes the form of a bracelet on Hua's wrist made of interlocking wires tightly wrapped from the base of her hand up to her forearm.  More than a bracelet, the wires can extend at will.  Between supernatural control and her own training, these wires become deadly in Hua's hands, easily able to cut a careless foe into ribbons.  

Useful for more than just careless slashing, the wires are capable of ensnaring enemies, extending to grab them by an appendage or entangle them completely.  XuèXiàn can also sharpen or flatten at will as well, letting Hua decide if she would prefer to grapple someone with the wires or, if it suits her, to sever a limb completely.  

Their tensile strength is useful for more utility effects.  The wires can be used to burrow into things, such as vault doors, tearing them apart from the inside.  And with the control she has over them and their ability to extend, they are also highly useful for movement, forming Hua's primary method of travel, combined with her acrobatic frame.  She doesn't like to invite the comparison to Spider-Man but she certainly appreciates it.

Biography: Hua is fairly young, especially for a Bount.  She was born in china, though her mother taught her from an early age to not pick up any given accent.  Part of a small community of bount that travel around when necessary, she was fairly happy as a child.  However, when she was a young woman, her doll began to manifest.  Unfortunately, her family had run afoul of some criminal elements.  It came to blows and while the criminals were ultimately destroyed, they weren't without casualties.  Hua's mother, Chen, was left paralyzed during the conflict.  

Hua was torn at a critical point in her life between caring for her mother and preying on the elements of society that had hurt her family.  Over time, she came to internalize the values she was living by, eventually claiming only victims she found less morally savory.  The constant conflict with dangerous foes forced her to be stronger and soon she was the strongest bount in her community, something the rest of the community saw her as having a responsibility to use for them.

Name: Machiko ???

Birthday: July 19th
Age: 25
Gender: Female

Height: 5’10”
Weight: 145 lbs

Hair Color/Style: Machiko has long, black hair that reaches halfway down her back that she usually keeps in a ponytail while she’s at work. When she’s back at home or relaxing she’s more prone to let it hang loose, but spends a good amount of time combing and brushing it each day.

Over-All Appearance: Her basic look except the suit is more commonly a shade of seafoam green rather than black.

Machiko is usually seen dressed head-to-toe in nice business suits while on the job, which wouldn’t seem that out of place except for the fact that she’s a Yakuza enforcer. Each suit is pressed and cleaned carefully and fully, and she also wears a pair of bright white gloves that contrast greatly against her dark skin. Her eyes are a steely grey, with a sharp nose and full lips that are almost always pressed together in an annoyed expression.

Her height is also quite noticeably greater than that of most other people, thanks to her parents not actually being Japanese citizens, and it tends to draw a bit of attention to her. Well that and the green suit. She’s a bit muscular due to her job and her training in judo, and because of such she’s quite lacking in the chest department. Not that she minds. Her right hand is also a full metal prosthetic that stops at the wrist, with five functioning fingers. It along with her other hand is usually hidden under a pair of gloves, though.

Personality: Machiko is all business when on the job. And mostly when off the job as well. She conducts herself as a professional at all times, even when she’s breaking down doors of people who owe her Yakuza leader money. That being said, things that are exceptionally troublesome tend to annoy her quite easily, as they’re wasting her valuable time.

Being a Yakuza enforcer, she’s no stranger to having to muscle her way through problems, but rather tries to take the less violent path when dealing with those she is sent to take care of. Mostly to keep her many suits from accumulating too much dust or dirt on them. Which is also one of the few things that would noticeably upset the woman. She has a quite strong bout of OCD when it comes to her outfits, and always tries to maintain her professional appearance at all times.

When she’s not working, Machiko likes to pass the time by maintaining her small bonsai garden in her home and reading historical fiction and non-fiction. And of course there’s the usual judo training and prosthetic hand maintenance that she performs every other day to keep her skills sharp.

Machiko is also completely loyal to her gang, and especially her boss: Kasumi Hatake. She is deeply indebted to them for offering her a new chance at life and a way to provide for herself, and would do anything for them that they asked. A level of dedication that her boss finds adorably funny, and teases Machiko about during the more lax moments in the day. Mainly sending her on a “very important mission” to get her a coffee.

Clothing: Machiko has several different suits that she wears regularly for work, all of them various shades of light green or greenish-blues. The only exception is a solid black suit that she wears on only the most special of occasions and a sparkly blue dress that was given to her on her fifth year of service to her gang (never been worn) Her off-duty clothes are mainly plain single-colored shirts and pants, purposefully avoiding anything overly frilly or loose as to not set her OCD off.

When on duty, she also carries a single retractable baton with a solid metal core for when regular ol’ Judo is out of the equation, and for a last resort has a pistol tucked away in a shoulder holster underneath her suit jacket.

--


Race: Human Fullbringer
Abilities: The source of Machiko’s powers is her metal prosthetic right hand that allows her to control metal around her in a 30 foot sphere of influence. She has an innate sense of which metals are magnetic and which are, and can also function as a sort of human metal detector by waving her right hand over a person or object until she can sense anything metallic on their person.

She has total control of anything metallic weighing up to around 800 lbs without any issues, and with a highly concentrated effort can lift up to a ton, but not for long. It also comes in handy when trying to pick locks or take doors down, as she can just manipulate the tumblers or remove the pins in the door frame without any extra tools. She is almost always using her powers on a small scale however, to offer full functionality of her metal hand as if it was as natural moving as her normal fleshy one.

While most of her abilities are related to simply moving metal around or bending it out of the way to avoid it hitting her, she does have one super technique that she uses as a last resort: She takes out her pistol and fires, and with a good deal of concentration on the barrel, she can control the direction that the bullet goes within her sphere of influence to pinpoint precision.

Biography: Machiko (originally Machiko Halgan Beydaan) was born to naturalized parents from very different walks of life. Her father, a former Somali pirate on the run from the law and trying to hide in Japan met her mother, a housekeeper working at a local mansion, one night when he was trying to rob the place. His robbery was ultimately unsuccessful, but began a whirlwind romance that ended up with her mother her pregnant and disgraced from her family as the two moved into a seedy neighbourhood together.

Machiko was raised to the best of their abilities, but in the end her father’s criminal ways ended up shaking the family’s foundations yet again. One day he built up way too much debt, and the loan sharks made a personal visit to their home. It wasn’t long before a huge fight broke out, which ended up crippling Machiko’s hand beyond any recovery, and she had to have it amputated. The loan sharks gave her father another month to pay his loans, but she ended up hearing her parents try and sell her to the local Yakuza to pay off the debt. Furious, Machiko, now seven years old, ran away from home to try and make it on the streets.

But a month passed and that didn’t work out too well for her. She slept in abandoned warehouses when she could, stole food, all sorts of illegal things to get by. Until one day she tried to pick the pocket of one Kasumi Hatake, a local Yakuza boss. Instead of simply beating the young girl, Kasumi chose to take Machiko in, seeing a similar look in her eye as she did years ago when she first started.

But Kasumi didn’t run just any ordinary Yakuza gang. She was the head of a small group that consisted entirely of women with prosthetics or missing limbs. They joked that entry to the gang cost an arm or a leg, but actually strove to also be a safe haven for abused or neglected women. It was here that Machiko (now simply going by her first name only, discarding the name of her family that tried to sell her) found her new home with her new family. Shortly after getting her prosthetic hand as a gift for her services by Kasumi, Machiko awakened to her Fullbringer powers, which accelerated her up the ranks of the gang.

Now she fights to better serve her new family, fiercely loyal in keeping them protected from foes both mortal and spiritual.
