Name: Ogata Yunosuke
Age: 18
Rank: C

Bio: Originally a country boy, Yunosuke moved across Japan as he grew up, living in several small rural towns before settling in Tokyo, where the bright lights and urban temptations proved to be a huge distraction for the highschool aged boy. Back in the sticks, he was known for being a hothead punk who was much too scrawny to finish any of the fights his mouth managed to get him into. He emulated the gunslingers and noir heroes of his favorite films but failed to deliver on both the charisma and skill. Where they got witty one-liners, he had a mouthful of marbles and a vocabulary that was 80% obscenities and empty threats. Always the instigator, he would pick fights just to keep himself amused.

He mellowed out some in Tokyo, if only because that shit can get you killed in the city, but he retains all the most endearing qualities of a delinquent. Despite a bad attitude and some misplaced aggressions, Yunosuke does have some redeeming qualities, such as a code of honor that makes sense to nobody but him (though it keeps him out of doing anything truly idiotic) and a charitable nature.

As a human with a strange ability, he was recruited to fight alongside a yokai in the constant struggle against berserks.

Powers/Abilities: Able to manipulate smokes and gasses, Yunosuke found that he can also turn himself into a gaseous state, though that ability is still vastly untested and unstable. He can transform individual body parts with no issue, but finds full-body conversion quite difficult. He carries a few mixtures with him to be used in combat situations.

Name: Tsuga Teijo
Age: 19
Rank: B

Bio: A yokai with impeccable manners and expensive taste, Teijo didn't seem like he would be the type to excel in combat, and for the most part that stands true. His talent for creating beasts by transforming his shadow, however, has its fair share of uses and he has thus managed to prove of worth to the Hunters.

If he doesn't have to use brute force, he won't, as he prefers creating smaller creatures such as birds because of their myriad uses. He is masterful when it comes to diplomacy, and could be well suited to tackle a job outside of bloodying up berserks, but this is the job he's chosen for himself.

Teijo often gives off an air of entitlement, as the Tsuga clan is an old and notable family, although they are hardly popular. Centuries back, Tsugas helped protect their fellow yokai from berserks and were rewarded handsomely for their efforts. Their descendants rarely showed such courage and most coasted by on their family name and inherited estates. Teijo wants to prove his clan can be heroic, but he can't shake a certain sense of provincal behavior that comes along with an upbringing in higher society.

Powers/Abilities: Able to transform his own shadow into any manner of animal, but the size of his shadow limits the size of the beast at the moment.

Name: Akechi Shige
Age: 21
Rank: B

Bio: Shige was born into a family that embraces tradition and works hard to preserve it. Her mother and father inherited a kendo dojo that has been in their family for generations, and her parents and brother busied themselves with the ancient art and maintaining the years of history held within its halls. She, however, had no talent or patience for the form. Any match she won was thanks to her intimidating build and a desire to beat her opponent into submission, rather than relying on finesse. Eventually, Shige found herself mixed up with some of the gangs around the poorer areas of the city and became part of the muscle for the small-time G-Gang, frequently wielding a baseball bat or similar object in order to keep the group's enemies in line. In truth, she didn't care for this type of violence, which she considered aimless.

She wanted to feel like she was working towards something, and it was then that the idea of joining with a yokai to pummel a harmful creature seemed like a good idea.

Powers/Abilities: She hits things. Hard. Melee and blunt weapons champ.

Name: Ryo Hattori
Age: 18
Rank: C
Bio:
Hattori is carefree and kind whilst also being arrogant and cocky towards his skill and abilities as a Spirit Hunter. Born as a product of two great rivaling Yokai Families merging into one, super powerful, and mega-rich in the human world, Hattori is the youngest child of four other siblings, each one a Spirit Hunter of worth. Hattori possesses the unique ability of having both Family powers, The Muramasa Blood Gift and The Orochi Flames, a first and apparently only occurrence after the unification event. As such since he can remember he has always trained in the use of these gifts to become one of the best of the Yokai side of Spirit Hunter. Hattori however, wants to live is own life, and by his own rules, something that irks both his parents that almost brought great shame upon him. He has since enrolled in the Japan Branch of The Spirit Hunter Organisation as a Rank C rookie. Despite most of the other rookies believing him to be rather "stuck up" in his manners, it is simply that he does not know how to interact well with others.

He has since got his own apartment that he's sharing with his as of yet unknown partner.
Powers/Abilities:

"Muramasa Blood Gift" - an old power passed down through the Ryo Family for generations. Hattori is able to change parts of his body into dark blades, protruding to any length he desires. While most in his family are able to change all of their limbs into these blades, Hattori is only currently able to change his two limbs at a time. The blade itself can generate powerful gusts of slicing winds.

"Flames of Yamata No Orochi" - the second gift he gained from the unification of the Ryo and Igami Yokai Families. Hattori can created powerful red flames at his will, most often he uses it to give his Muramasa blades a distinctive edge against his foes.





Name: Toyotomi Daigo
Age: 26
Rank: A
Bio:

Daigo was orphaned ever since he could remember. A guardian left with the task to look after him at an early age gave him to the "Tiger Monks" a sect of powerful spiritually attuned Shaolin that have made their home upon Mt Fuji. He spent most of his time training and studying, and occasionally just laying about. It wasn't until he reached the age of fifteen was he granted the choice of becoming a practitioner of either the "Open Palm Stance" or "Closed Fist Stance", but as it turned out, he was able to learn both. While no living monk has ever been able to properly utilize both stances effectively, they gave Daigo the benefit of the doubt. Not only did he learn them, he excelled further, mastering them at the age of eighteen. He was considered a beast, and thus those that vowed to protect and care for him, reluctantly had to banish him.

He was shortly found the current Head of the Japanese Branch of Spirit Hunter and recruited within the ranks to hunt down Berserkers and any known allies to them. Despite his laid-back, almost lazy like nature, Daigo is one of the top Spirit Hunters, often known to take out his targets with superb precision, allowing to rise to the A-Rank Division in no time. He has chose Miko so he can mentor her, and eventually pass on his knowledge to her. He often tries to get her come out of her shell, to mixed reactions.

Powers/Abilities:

"The Five Tigers Style: Open Palm and Closed Fist Stance"
