Yokai interest check

[Valtyr]

I am with Animus, wasn't rude at all.

Just let me know if a place opens up.

Mind if I make a character for shits and giggles so if/when there is room for me I will already have a character ready?

[Valtyr]

Shōkanshi


Introduce Yourself:
Kimiko Ieiyamato

What kind of person are you?:
Kimiko is rather introverted and casual. Seems to brush off important things as if they were nothing. She tries not to let herself open up around people so it sort of ends up with her pushing people away. Though she is nearly an adult she often acts like a young child; theorized due to emotional trauma at a young age. Her current only friend is her Yokai, though being an Akuma she doesn't really get much, if any, affection from him but she cares for him none the less.

Tell us about yourself!:
Kimiko tends to spend most of her time alone or with her Yokai. She doesn't have any friends because of her bashful, shy nature. She spends her alone time playing the violin and make little finger puppets that she has on rare occasions had little conversations with; though she would never admit it. Her deceased father having been a champion archer in his younger life had made an archery lane in the back yard of the estate which Kimiko uses on occasion to clear her head.

Where do you come from?: WIP
I have her history planned out nicely and its rather extensive. But, I am exhausted so I will write it up either tomorrow or the follow day. I mean, its a back up character so no rush right? XD

What year are you?:
17, High School - Junior Year

Put your best foot forward!:
Kimiko is very fast and agile on her feet. She is naturally acrobatic, from her mother, and uses that to her advantage when in a bind. From practice she has become a rather good shot with a bow an arrow at a rather astonishing distance though not on par with professional Archers. Playing the violin has given her a sense of patience and helped her learn that beauty is in the simple things.

Yōkai

Name:
Anthreal

Type:
Akuma

Pact:
Blood pact with human sacrifice.

Powers:
Besides the common increased strength, speed and cunning Anthreal's main powers are trickery and transformation. Anthrael is especially gifted in the ways of transforming himself into whatever he can think up; whether inanimate or a living creature though the magnitude of the transformation cannot exceed a certain amount in total in one day. Most commonly Anthreal transformed into an amulet that Kimiko can wear around her neck to school and also into a composite bow for Kimiko to use.

Anthreal's pact with Kimiko gives her increase strength and speed to a small degree; mainly aiding Kimiko in firing arrows at an accelerated rate above the natural human ability.

P.S. - I have a back story formulated for Anthreal, mind when I write up kimiko's if I get Anthreal one as well? It'd help tie in and solidify the relationship between them.

Hmm ... I just realized that the male to female ratio is like .... zero guys to all girls xD! Just thought I'd throw that out there!

Mother! I will be yours xD!

Insanity. I plan to start the OOC as soon as every before the deadline turns in their character sheets and such! So the posting of an OOC depends entirely upon how quickly those CSs can be posted ^^!

Edit: Shinuki I'm really sad to see you go, but I do understand ^^! Hope to run into you again someday!

[Steve42]

I am highly offended. My maleness is being belitteled in this ratio. *puts nose in air in a snobby offended way*

[Amaralyn]

Lawl. xD
Anyway~ I finished my CS.
And I have to dissapoint you, Celestial: it is a female. xD


Shōkanshi

Well! That's more than just a pretty face:

Introduce Yourself: Megumi Kimiko

Where do you come from?:
Megumi is the daughter of a large, wealthy family, consisting of among others monks, commanding officers, and business men. She was born in Kanazawa in a large, traditional house, and has lived here all her life.
The garden, in which a small pond can be found, is situated next to a forest.
During vacations Megumi sometimes stays at the family’s somewhat smaller house, also in traditional style, near a private beach.

What year are you?:
17, Second to last year of high school. After high school, she wants to go study biology.

What kind of person are you?:
Megumi is a girl who usually doesn’t show much emotion, although she’s rather sensitive. She often keeps her emotions to herself, which occasionally leads to her bursting out the emotion she feels strongest at a certain moment.
Aside from that, Megumi is generally gentle of heart and most of the time acts so as well, but because of her lack of contact with people, except for with her family and servants, she sometimes may act cold-hearted, often not even knowing it comes across as such.
Megumi is a pretty intelligent, quiet and reserved girl, and only speaks when she is asked to do so, or when she really needs to get something of her mind.
Because of Megumi’s shy nature, she doesn’t interact often with people, and thus she doesn’t have any friends. She could get along very well with her brother, though. He was the only person by whom Megumi could show what she felt inside in a normal way.

Tell us about yourself!:
Megumi was born together with her twin brother Kenta to a wealthy family in Kanazawa. Both children were mostly raised by the servants, but got attention from their parents every now and then.

The family keeps a weapon that is passed from father to son: a wakizashi which is said to carry great powers. Because of this tradition Megumi’s brother got the most attention in order for him to grow up to be a healthy, strong and happy child.

Despite not getting much attention, Megumi still grew up quite happily, according to herself. Throughout her life she developed a love for playing the erhu, reading mythological stories, studying the human anatomy, and studying animals.

Because of the family’s wealth, Megumi and Kenta didn’t go to a public school, but instead received home schooling.

At the age of twelve Megumi’s brother started practising kendo. Megumi was offered to practise other things, like painting and performing ritual dances, but Megumi wasn’t too good nor interested in these two subjects. When Kenta was training, she often observed him from a distance and tried to mimic his movements.

When Megumi and her brother turned sixteen, it was time for Kenta to perform the ritual to obtain the sword. Megumi and her family watched as he immaculately performed the steps and ended by thrusting the blade inside his chest. However, Kenta missed the right spot and dug the blade in too deep. After a moment, he dropped to the ground, blood staining his chest. Her family rushed over to the boy, while Megumi sat there, eyes wide open, not able to move. Suddenly it was as if an unknown force drew her to the sword. She grabbed it, her expression unchanged, and performed the ritual just like her brother had done, though with more grace and something that could be described as passion. As she stabbed herself, a vision appeared to her. A black-haired male, dressed in mostly the same colour as his hair, called Yin approached Megumi and offered her a pact.
Although unsure why, she decided to agree with it. Maybe to protect the one’s dear to her, or to save the innocent yokai out there, but maybe most likely because she wanted recognition from her family.

At first, her parents were exactly the opposite of thrilled. Understandable, since their son just died, but it wasn’t only that. They were disappointed in her and her father distrusted her. Did Megumi know Kenta would not be able to obtain the sword and would die?
Later, they accepted Megumi and her brother’s fate and offered the girl training in kendo and archery.

Put your best foot forward!:
Megumi is an excellent erhu-player, has become quite skilled at kendo and is starting to learn archery.
While in combat, she is able to gain superhuman strength and speed, and is able to control dark matter, all thanks to the pact with Yin.

At school, Megumi is good at the subjects History and Biology. She especially finds biology interesting and wants to study this when she is done with high school.

Other:
Megumi has a scar on her chest from completing the ritual.
She almost always wears yukata, even outside her house, but wears a school uniform to school.
She wears a monks bracelet which she received on her seventh birthday from one of her uncles.
She (somehow) likes Venus Flytraps.
Her favorite kind of food is fruit, and especially peaches.
At the family's house they keep several fish in the pond in the garden and some smaller ones in an aquarium. They also keep two domestic ferrets.
These two type of animals have also become Megumi's favorite kind of animals and she sometimes spends a long time playing or studying them.
Her star sign is pisces.
Chihiro Shirakiin is her cousin.

[Celestial]

Oh! I didn't mean it in a belittling way at all Steve! I was referring to the CSs that have filtered in so far!

Lol! Girl power xD!

[icmasticc]

I thought I was being slightly original by choosing a girl, but everybody is a girl now lmao. I should have went with my original idea with a girl Shokanshi and male Yokai haha.

[IntenseInsanity]

Lots of rich Shokanshi and I just gotta say Megumi Kimiko is kinda similar to Chihiro.

[Valtyr]

The only similarities with Kimiko and Chihiro are they are shy, lack friends and are athletic; but in Japan, who isn't athletic, to some degree? Kimiko is a very laid back, uncaring young girl that lives on her own with her Yokai; though I would have to write up her backstory for everything to be clear. Chihiro is a more serious, strict seeming character that has a strong drive and purpose.

[IntenseInsanity]

Oh, no no. I didn't mean your Kimiko! Megumi Kimiko. Amaralyn's character.
