Personality

Shiraga is enthusiastic and responsible, she’s rarely ever tardy and often comes around early by dusk to do her wonderful and graceful dances in the city proper under the moonlight and the lighting provided by her family and close friends, she dances because she wants to and she feels responsible to keep people happy and entertained, and in some cases, join her. This is the same for when she will escort a convoy of wagons or a carriage to another town or village.

While her dances may enchant passers by, this could also attract unwanted attention. Shiraga is not a killer, at least bound by the law in the city, she has no problems if it were she were around protecting her clients from wandering monsters around their path to the destination. In the city, she’ll go as far as crippling their limb temporarily, attempt to knock them out or just escape with her magic. Of course, she doesn’t do this all the time. When she feels that her opponents are easy, or are weak, she will continuously taunt and toy around with them, leading them towards obstacles they may not be aware of, nothing lethal of course, maybe lead them on a plight of stairs, or trip over rope, or fall onto some boxes, etcetera.

She is also shown to be outgoing and appreciates people who appreciate the dances she does just outside of public places. She earns a fair amount for her own allowance and spends time buying more flamboyant pieces of accessories, or when they situation calls for it, weapon maintenance.

Background

Shiraga was born like every other Oni in their village, always with two horns. She is the youngest child in her family followed by three older brothers born from different dates in time. Her entire family was in charge of theatrical performances, both setting it up and performing in them. They were known locally as The Storyteller Family in the village.
Feeling that her family’s talents could be shared around the world, little Shiraga suggested they go into the Capital that was Lugnica and perform there, she even assured that the people would love her performances, without any arguments, the entire family agreed and set out toward the Great Capital.

Over the years, her entire family had been everywhere around the more public areas in Lugnica, performing every other night to entertain and keep people happy. They were a hit for a time until Shiraga had come of age. Her mother taught her to how to dance the way she did in the previous years and her father, instead of teaching acting to her daughter, taught her about self-defense, the two took turns with their teachings every year she grew until she found out about her affinity of Wind Magic on her first performance at the age of twenty two when she tried to nail a backflip through a burning hoop at such an elevated height. She doesn’t know if her brothers had it too. Given that this was something unusual, she asked a fellow street performer the following night if he had the same affinity as her. Luckily for her, he did and offered to help teach her if he got a quarter of her funds from her next lovely performance. Of course she knew her budget would be tied next week, but she took the risk to learn it so it wouldn't go out of control like that ever again.

Several years later, her parents had different jobs. Her mother had just enough money to buy a small building for a class on dancing and acting. It isn’t that popular with most folks around Lugnica, but mostly women and young ladies join it to have a try. Shiraga and her brothers decide to go on with the performances, but limited it to once a week as the Oni took another job being the escort of carriages from Lugnica to another point in the world. The Oni took this job to support her brothers’ training funds (which are fairly affordable) so long as she keeps all that is given to her in every performance.

History with Olipher

During her escort jobs, Shiraga was paired with another armored Oni who was known for causing a ruckus wherever he goes, as a vagabond, this wasn't a big deal. He was this large, buff looking warrior who intimidates others with his equipment. Shiraga didn't mind one bit, she thought that if the caravan they were escorting needed someone big, then it would mean her pay was just as big all the same.

Finding her four years being taught by a seldom street performer in Wind Magic just wasn't enough to help her get the hang of something far beyond the basics. During the ride she would turn her back somewhere and quietly mutter the incantations of "El", only to fail horribly. She kept apologizing for the sudden disturbances and asked her temporary escort partner, Olipher to help her out and tutor her on how to use it.

Likes
Shiraga is very fond of dancing and her type of person must be rich and classy. Although, she also has a “highschool crush” on dashing bad boys as well.

Dislikes
Shiraga dislikes lewd or perverted gestures toward her, as well as any violent people or people that have a problem with her family and her race as a whole.

Magic

Yin

Shamak - El Shamak

Personality

Iruga is most described as a mercenary assassin. When he was hired to join a group or party (or willingly joins for his benefits). He rarely talks and shows little interest on others exploits, often staying only o collect his fee or he only did what he have done. Sometimes leave in the most inopportune moments.

Background

It was supposed to be longer but- One day there was two thieves, Iruga himself and his best friend Ernest. Ernest was a very smart guy, he made a plan to rob a new built mansion with just three steps. That is to get hired in the mansion, make a whole map of the mansion- and what is inside the rooms, and the last part was to grab n' go.

While escaping, Ernest got hit with two steel arrows to the pant leg and the side, Ernest begged Iruga to kill Ernest so he couldn't be brutally tortured before executed slowly. But Iruga can't so he ditched him along the loot.

Iruga escaped with a band of pirates, who is waiting, and when inside and away of the royal guard's sights, they pointed their swords to Iruga and demanded the loot. It's karma, he said. He was now a long-bound servant on the pirate ship.

Iruga was forced to fight and clean the ship for a year and a half, which was he was good at. Until one day he saw his friend again, Ernest, on a ship and as a battle tactician and strategist. The two ships fought and Ernest saw Iruga again.

They've been reunited but later killed by the pirate captain's cutlass and shouting to Iruga "be lucky, I saved your hide!". Ernest's last words are "a gift from your father in my quarters". So off he went, sneaked past swashbucklers and found his friend's quarters. Got a wooden box that was labeled for Iruga.

The Pirate team lost and Iruga was held in a brig but a commander recognized the box in Iruga's hands and declared theft. Of course, they calmed down when he said the gift was for him.. after a lot of pursuing.

iruga was shipped of to a city to the right of Lugunica, poor and with box at his hands. A year later and his life is miserable and knowing the box holds a pair of Katars and remembering how good he's at fighting, he gave mercenary contracts a try and struggled on it. Sure, he have killed people before, but this was different, he kills people for money. That kills his emotions for until now and was now known a relentless killer.

(This backstory was long enough, I'll make edits when I can.)

Did my characters get killed off? It'd be pretty convenient to just bring Jiru back into things.
