Username:
Rune Alchemist


Name:
Natsuki Mihara

Age:
24

Gender:
Female

Crystal Color:
Burnt Orange


Allegiance: Gryphes

Rank:
N/A. Just an enforcer. You want something done? She can do it without a problem. Usually.
Skills:
Drinking.
Pretty good chess player.
Knows a bit about first aid. Could probably patch up a non-life threatening wound enough to get someone back into good enough shape.
Knows how to...make people talk.
Fairly resourceful and handy.
This life is dangerous, and she's been doing it for awhile. She can take care of herself.

Abilities:
Natsuki, can use Fire Magic, pure and simple and is fairly proficient with it, though she only uses magic if she absolutely must. She also has a cat familiar, who she simply calls 'Fur ball'. The feline has white fur, and sharp green eyes. The familiar has been with her for quite awhile, and despite the constant bickering, the two are quite close. Often acts as her second set of eyes if she's off on family business.


Weapons:
You know those old weapons like swords, staves and stuff?...well, those are a relic of the past. She prefers the feel of a gun in her hand, or two, rather. She prefers medium caliber pistols, two of them. She also has enough ammo to run a small ammo store. Can decently put up a fight at close range, but is best at medium to long range.

Appearance:
clothes she wears on the job

Looks like this, when she's on the job, though her hair is usually kept short. She has pale skin, with bright hazel colored eyes. She's a bit over average height, for Japanese women. Doesn't wear heels, but wears sturdy boots...perfect for kicking someones teeth in,

Otherwise, when she's lazing about at home, she wears a plain white t-shirt, loose baggy pants and looks like a total slob. Just look at her room.

whoever enters her room, I salute your bravery.

Personality:

At first glance, Nat...is the exact opposite of someone who works for the mafia. Lazy, sleeps more than works, and eats enough cheap ramen and curry to fund a small army. In fact, she hardly ever leaves her apartment except to buy groceries and other necessities. She spends more time inside her home lazing around, or otherwise jut generally not being a productive human, and will do anything and everything to avoid any sort of hard work. Not to mention her sarcastic jack-ass streak that she will use on anyone who tries to get her to work or even move out of her bed on some days.

At least, that's what her neighbors and everyone who associates with her believes.

In reality, while she doesn't like working and is the laziest freeloader on the planet, she's probably killed more people and taken care of 'problems' than you could probably guess. That said if its family related business, she's the first one to volunteer.

Why?

Because its fun.

Under that lazy exterior, is a mouthy girl who is a Gryphes through and through. Nat has a bit of a sadistic streak to her - especially when it comes to doing anything for the family, who she is incredibly loyal too and would probably give her life to save anyone in it. She'll take any opportunity to beat the humdrum bore of daily life, even if it means getting injured.

History:

Nat grew up in Japan, the daughter of a decent member of the Gryphes. While he wasn't anything to special - he specialized in ice magic - he was still fairly well off, and was known for getting any job he was handed done. Her mom was a normal human, unable to use magic, but was quite aware of her husbands activities, and cared little. Nat herself, had a natural talent for magic, she discovered it at a fairly young age, after her father decided to introduce her to the family. After giving her a blank crystal, it was discovered she had a rather nice affinity for Fire Magic.

Of course, as with anyone in this life, eventually her father was killed by rival members of the Alicornia house. She was just 17, at the time. Her mom, was completely distraught and wanted to leave - move to the states and forget all about it. Nat though, had a different idea. She wanted to hunt down the bastards that killed her dad. So, she asked the members of house Gryphes if she could have a little help doing it. They thought of it as her official initiation into the Family. Sure, she was born into it, but until then she hadn't really been involved. Her father tried keeping her out as much as he could.

Well, that ended the day she found the ones responsible for her dads death. Its rumored that she spit-roasted one over a fire, made one burn from the inside out after stabbing him and lighting his insides on fire, tortured one for the name of the last one, and the last one...well, they still haven't found his body. She has hinted that he may possibly have had the most brutal of the treatment, but she doesn't elaborate on it, if asked.

From here on out, she was accepted as a full fledged member.

Since then she does whatever the Boss asks - even the boring jobs. Pays the rent easily enough, and she gets her action she wants.

Other:

~Weaknesses~
She is, in fact, incredibly lazy. And unless a job interests her, (she thinks it'll be a good job to relieve her boredom) or she can get motivated with the promise of something (such as food) She will probably end up not taking things seriously.

Physical strength isn't her thing. She relies more on speed and agility, and superior gun skills. Could easily be overpowered at close range.

Horrible cook. Her food...if it can be called that, is an affront to nature.

"Nooo...leave me alone...the blankets finally accepted....me as their own....Snore"

"Kek...sounds fun...I'll take care of it."

"Ugh...how boring. The hell do I have to do something like this?

Jiang was born into a fairly well-off family in China. As a child, she had a rather unhealthy obsession with what was on the inside of things. First, it started with crushing insects and looking at what spilled out. Later on, it turned into small animals.

Her parents never really noticed that something was wrong with her. They never found out about the animals, as Jiang hid them fairly well.

When Jiang was 22, she had entered med school. She was filled with pleasure from learning about the innards of humans. In her 3 years of studying, she learned all she needed to about the human body and surgeries. She opened a small clinic in a seedy part of town, and began to operate on whoever would come in.

Of course, people would die while they were getting operated on because of a certain lack of anesthetics and health-standards. When that would happen, Jiang would operate on them to take and sell their organs.

A year had passed and Jiang had a booming business. Triad members would enter with broken bones and leave healthily. It all ended when Jiang harvested the organs of a certain big Triad leader while he was still alive.

The Triad members came after Jiang relentlessly. They destroyed her shop, her parent's businesses, everything. Jiang, after losing everything, decided to run. All she took was a few disinfectants and her tools.

She made herself a fake identity and hid inside of a fishing boat. The fishing boat left and, after a few days, arrived at a dock in Japan. Jiang snuck out of the boat and into the cities. Something was different about Jiang, though. She had wounds covering her entire body. She entered the boat perfectly fine, and left with large wounds.

Jiang wandered around for a day or so. She had odd stares from strangers, but didn't particularly care. While wandering, she had found someone with seven gunshot wounds to his torso. Jiang, knowing he was still alive, took him into a deserted building, and began to operate.

The man was (surprisingly) okay after that. He took her to the house boss, and pleaded that Jiang was what they needed. A (somewhat) good surgeon who could help them. In all honesty, Jiang wanted to take the man's organs, but she didn't have anywhere to put it.

The man invited Jiang to join their "family". Without anywhere to go, Jiang said yes. They gave her a small crystal and taught her what they could about magic. Jiang trained her magic, but not in a combat way. She trained her magic in a way that could help her surgeries.

After a few more years, Jiang became a dedicated surgeon to House Gryphen. She became a valuable addition to their team, despite the entire organ stealing thing.

Jomei was the son of the previous boss of House Alicornia. As a child growing up, he was considered to have the strongest magic. His psychokinesis was extremely weak, but he could see all of the events of the next three days. This made him an extremely useful asset to House Alicornia, as they could easily see if any conflict they were in would end in loss.

His powers became weakened significantly when he was given some time off. He didn't use his powers, so he had no idea that it was coming. While walking through his home, he saw something out of a window. It was a small shiny toy. Jomei wanted it. He snuck out of his home and went to grab it. As soon as he touched it, he felt a burlap sack forcefully put on his head. He tried to scream, but a rod of metal hit him in the head.

When Jomei woke up, he was in an extremely guarded hospital. His head and body were covered in bandages. The doctor said that it would be a miracle if he survived past the next week.

Jomei lived, but at a cost. He could no longer use his foresight. Distraught at his only talent being gone, he began to train daily. He sharpened his magic to the point where he could control it with a large amount of finesse. He trained his foresight as much as he could, but it would never reach its former glory. Through the course of 12 years, he managed to achieve the ability to see one second into the future when he concentrated.

With nothing else to do, Jomei joined House Alicornia again as a scout and messenger.

Due to the inner creature's weakened, semi-slumbering state, the summoned familiars are limited in power.
