• Name: Minako "Koka" Kaiyo
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Minako is a toned girl standing at about 5'2 and a thin frame. Her skin is fair, bordering on pale. She has large, sky blue eyes and friendly eyebrows, and a mousy mouth and nose. Her black hair is always tied up into a messy bun and the front of her hair is always died blue.
  
  Koka's casual wear is very goth or 'emo'. Blacks, greys, dark blues. She likes a brand of clothing called Girilla and owns several pairs of sneakers, hoodies, and shirts from their collection.
  
  She wears chokers and earrings. Her belly button is pierced with a small blue plastic crystal. She has a gold crucifix tied into her hair. She also has a tattoo of a pyramind with an eye on her upper left arm. A traditional Buddhist swastika, colored blue, is marked on her right ankle, with the words "well-being" drawn in a circle around them. There's also a pentacle on the small of her back, and the wiccan symbol of the triple goddess on her left shoulder blade. Finally on the outside of her left calf is a symbol of the sun, and on her right calf is a symbol of a crescent moon.
  
  She's usually standing with her hands in her pockets and a little pursed-lip smirk on her face, with her shoulders and posture relaxed and comfortable, eyes half-lidded like she just woke up. If something catches her attention she will furrow her brow and tilt her head up. Overall she comes off as being very approachable or very strange depending on if you're cool or not.
• Personality: Koka is free-spirited young woman who believes life is too short and too meaningless to be cruel to each other. She describes herself as a goth. She likes diversity, tolerance, individualism, and practicing kindness to everyone no matter how strange or subversive they may be, aslong as their peculiarities do no harm to others. Which is why she's taken a particular disliking to the tyrannical vampires.
  
  Minako is often laid back and relaxed, stress does not come to her easily. She calls herself a Classical Cynic, believing that most sadness is derived from false expectations of the world and of oneself. It's very easy to engage her in a philosophical discussion and she's always up to learn new ways of life, and she's eager to share her own way of life with others who she believe needs it. She calls this 'sharing her chill pills'. Koka is a strong believer in active good and altruism, and if she sees injustice she will attempt to disperse it the best she can, as non-violently as possible. Minako is a very understanding person but she has little time for base cruelties like bigotry and sadism and these are some of the few things that can get her angry.
  
  Koka is rebellious, but she doesn't mean to be disrespectful though she can often come off that way. She's very secure in her self-image and has a healthy amount of self-esteem. She likes herself, and others around her. Minako tends to day dream and falls asleep easily, and she loves creating and appreciating art, be it music or drawings of all kinds. And rollerskating.
  
  Last but certainly not least, Koka likes big guns. They're exhausting she doesn't like to use them often, but shooting is one of her hobbies if she's looking for high intensity free time, which is quite rare.
• Brief Backstory: Koka's parents were loving but extremely strict, which is what initially caused her rebellious phase that lead into her current life style.
  
  She became somewhat of a criminal, possessing, selling, and doing various types of pyschedelic drugs and mushrooms, which she was never caught for though people were suspicious of her, if only for her developing aesthetic. Even becoming engaged in the illegal possession and use of firearms.
  
  Koka never wanted to hurt anybody and didn't think what she was doing was bad, only subverisve to authority. Eventually though she began to feel somewhat guilty because ultimately the government was just trying to help. Humanity was on it's last legs. There were enslaved people out there. While the strict authorities were bad, the vampires were way, way worse. Sometimes she was kept up at night with nightmares of being enslaved and fed upon by evil vampires. Given her altruistic nature and her desire to do good, even the anti-authority Koka would do what she was told if it meant saving the lives of her fellow man. Though it would be tough to go against her nature like that.
  
  When in basic training it was discovered her talent for both markswomanship and her natural aptitude towards Crimson Arms. At first, she was hesitant. But as a true believer in liberty, and not very prideful, she decided to suck it up and go try to save at least one person. Her courage surprised even herself, and perhaps though she might be happy with a drifter's life she would take this one opportunity to prevent the suffering of her fellow humans.
  
  So she re-focused on her education and tried to get accepted into the Red Demons, which eventually succeeded. Hopefully she can stick with it and not get into too much trouble.
• Equipment:
  
  Smoke grenades, backpack, water, flares. Flashlight. A large knife.
  
  A sketchbook full of drawings and poems. A cassette player and tapes. A vape pen.
• Skills:
  
  Markswomanship- Koka is a gifted shooter, both naturally talented and having practiced for fun many times.
  
  Flexible- Koka is able to lift her own (admittedly small) bodyweight quite well, and is overall quite versatile.
  
  Artistry- While she greatly poems and music, she is very good at drawing and loves art.
• Crimson Arm:

Tiamat- A thirty-two round assault rifle with an adjustable scope. Full-auto, three burst round, and semi-auto functions included. Good for killing vamps at all ranges but doesn't specialize in anything. A versatile, multi-purpose weapon. That is Tiamat's basic form.

Tiamat has an underbarrel grappling hook zip line launcher. She can fire it at high speeds to wrap around or impale targets and objects, and then pull herself towards the object or the object towards her, depending on it's weight. She can also imbed a starting point other than herself to create a zip line for her comrades. The zip line can be used to swing herself from position to position, and for vertical ascent or descent.

Tiamat is also capable of creating a bubble of kinetic force around itself. Depending on the strength it can last forever or only for a brief moment. Tiamat can't shoot or use grapple hooks while within the bubble. However it can be used to protect the user from harm like a shield, or burst outwards as an attack to knock enemies away. The bubble can be focused into a narrow line, acting like a short range burst or kinetic energy perfect for blowing holes in the hearts of encroaching or weakened vampires.

Tiamat has a blue color scheme with red highlights, with serpent imagery drawn on some of the flat spaces by Koka. It has a few switches on the stock and under the barrel to activate it's secondary functions.

Name:
Himika Takano
Age:
16
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
Roughly only 5'0 in height, Himika sports long messy white colored hair with bright blue eyes. Often, she wears a short white and blue long sleeved dress typically covered by a long, similarly colored cloak.
Personality:
Kind, clumsy, but an eternally bright ball of sunshine. Many wouldn't expect this clumsy girl that trips over her own feet more often than not to be a member of the Red Demons. Barely even a half-baked member of the Army, she's far from the picturesque image one might get when they hear 'Army of Humanity' and far less terrifying than one might get when they hear 'Red Demon'. At times, she can be unsure of herself, especially if left alone for too long, thanks to multiple counts of being made fun of for her clumsiness at times during training. Still, she always tries her best and is quick to shrug off such thoughts and does her best to help wherever and whatever she can with, even if she has a tendency to fall into self-doubt and consider herself not a particularly strong member of the organization.

Can often seem a little too happy with fighting.
Brief Backstory:
Himika never really knew her parents that well. Her father worked for the Army of Humanity, though not as a Red Demon, and her mother was never part of the picture as far as she can recall. What she does know is that sometime around six years ago, her father was killed fighting vampires in a raid, leaving her alone with only a few other children.

Well, from that moment on she decided what she was going to do.

After turning sixteen she eagerly volunteered for the Army, and after testing proved to hold especially high aptitude - making her fit for the Red Demons. Despite not being particularly well suited towards fighting, nor having the right mindset for it as some might comment, she persisted and excelled in training regardless despite several missteps along the way.
Equipment:
Eos-Hemera
Vampire Blood cartridges. A lot of them. Seriously Hemera uses a lot.
Skills:
Swordsmanship
While perhaps not the best at the moment, Himika does know how to use one even if she sometimes adds a few totally intentional and not in any way accidental 'personal flairs' to her swordsmanship.
Physical Ability:
Wielding a sword like Hemera requires more than a some rudimentary physical training. It is a Crimson Arm, but even compared to most its an incredibly heavy blade to wield. That is to say, even among Crimson Arm users Himika is fairly physically strong.
Cooking
Not exactly useful for combat, but she's learned to cook for herself and other orphans after living alone for so long.
Crimson Arm:
Eos-Hemera
The Sun-birthing Blade
A Crimson Arm made of blackened metal that at first seems almost entirely mundane as far as weapons go. In its inactive state, it appears heavy, as tall as a man, with a fairly thin blade and a few holes in its design. When loaded with a cartridge of vampire blood, however, the blade roars angrily to life with a fiery crackle. The hilt opens, venting scalding gas as molten, highly pressurized liquid begins flowing through the blade and leaks from the vents on its hilt.

Hemera's most used function is to use its highly pressurized core to wreathe the blade in flame and to project it outwards with explosive force, effectively burning the target to cinders if not immediately blasting them to pieces. Some minor control of the core is also afforded, allowing her to condense it outside of the blade and use it in a variety of ways and is perhaps in actuality its main function - such as forming projectiles and directing them with the blade. Careful control is needed, as the blade is a greedy, ravenous beast that has a tendency to use more Blood than Himika knows what to do with.

Crimson Arm

Name: Chou Tekkō
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Personality: A rather creepy looking young man, Chou has always expressed indifference and nonchalance towards allies, squadmates and superiors alike. It's hard for Chou to take anything seriously. However, the promise of challenge and fighting always seems to make Chou feel alive. In fact... Chou's true colours seem to shine when he is free to cause destruction and violence for the Red Demons. While training or on a mission, his focus does seem to hone in but it appears more like psychotic fixation, especially when he gets a target. If Chou was a vampire, one could only shudder at what he'd do.
Brief Backstory: Chou doesn't remember much of his early childhood. All he can recall is the slaughter of his parents and being chained up to al variety of tubes. One of the many children taken to become part of the Blood Cattle, Chou was subjected to all manners of torture and harsh treatment which is also how he lost his right eye. Knowing how powerless he was, all Chou could do was allow his mind to be warped and moulded by his environment. While many gave up hope and their lives, Chou was one of the few to keep living. Something was fuelling him to carry on. His resilience would be rewarded after one of the first raids.

Chou was rescued by the remnants of humanity and was immediately put into rehabilitation. While his body began to recover quickly, the psychological effects bored deep into Chou's mind. Despite this, the Army of Humanity recognised his toughness and determination. Chou was fast-tracked into training as soon as he was able. Chou excelled in this environment, and while his psychological evaluation still remains shaky at best, there's no denying his effectiveness as a weapon against the vampires.
Equipment: As well as standard gear, Chou carries an extra supply of flashbangs. Chou also deploys the use of breaching charges to compliment his "hitting fast and hard" style. However, Chou also sneaks three syringes of adrenaline on deployment.
Skills: Agility- While not physically strong, Chou boasts impressive speed and nimbleness on the battlefield, deploying hit and run tactics as much as he can.

Resilience- Chou's background makes it hard for him to back down and even harder to keep down. Chou expresses a will to push on that rivals most adults.

Viciousness- Enraptured in violence, Chou's sadistic side can come out in a fight making it hard for him to show mercy. While this makes him an effective killer, this is a double-edged sword as it becomes difficult to reign Chou in.

Crimson Arm: Susanoo- A duel kusarigama, Susanoo's scythes uses lacquered wood handles and extended blades on both ends with an extended reinforced steel chain. Susanoo's trajectory can be changed mid-throw, allowing creative attack angles or used as a complex trap of tripwires. The chain has jagged teeth blades running across either side. Upon activation, the chain turns into a flexible chainsaw that runs between the two handles.

Name: Lautaro Aayan Capala

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Lautaro is a rather tall man, standing at around 6'2" with broad shoulders and defined features. His hair is a dark brown colour and is somewhat long, the strands able to fall just into his face before tapering off. It can be said that Lau has a rather permanent drowsy look on his face, his eyes slightly drooped at all times which gives the appearance that he is constantly fighting the urge to sleep, though that isn't far from the truth. His eyes are often concealed by his hair, but once exposed, they are shown to be a very pale blue colour, almost grey. While Lautaro looks to be constantly half asleep, there's a certain alertness that over comes his eyes when he's pushed to work, a kind smile never faltering on his lips, an expression which only serves to amplify his relaxed features.

Personality: Lautaro is a rather friendly individual. He may not be the most vocal person around, but that doesn't prevent him from socialising with others, enjoying being around other people and just being there as silent company. Despite his sleeping habits, Lautaro is a rather motivated person in contrast to what one may believe, a firm determination hidden within grey, sleepy eyes. While motivated, it's rather rare to see anything more serious than a small frown on his lips, which is often rapidly replaced by a smile, and even rarer for him to raise his voice unless calling out for someone. Bursts of emotion greater than 'content' and 'pleased', are things rather unheard of in regards to the very calm man.

Brief Backstory: Lau grew up as the middle child in a rather large family, which was somewhat wealthy in the eyes of the current state of the world. His family worked for the betterment of the world... Or so that's what they told their youngest son. Lau never had much interest in the meddlings and inner workings of the family business. Even when brought to work with his father, he still wasn't certain what exactly was happening, instead far more focused on trying to figure out how to sleep while standing up. It was already decided that his elder sister would gain authority over the business, so Lau found no point in muddling with such a thing.
As a child he spent much of his time outside playing with his younger siblings, Xia and Avari, while his elder sisters worked together for the betterment of the family business.
Lau also had aspirations to improve the world and follow in his families footsteps (even if he wasn't sure what that was as they were shallow footsteps now covered by snow), but he had no intentions of getting trapped in an office for days on end. He found too much pleasure in being outside, sleeping, and rough housing with his siblings for that.
He joined the military as soon as possible, and quickly showed his salt as a rapid responder which significant amounts of energy. Due to this he was later picked up by the Red Demons, believed to be a promising recruit... When he wasn't asleep that is.

Equipment:
1) A neck pillow
2) Zip ties
3) A new set of shoes
4) Sewing kit

Skills:
Power Nap: Like the name suggests, while not necessarily a skill, Lautaro has the ability to sleep anywhere, no matter the circumstances.
Energy Bursts: While he may appear to be almost constantly asleep or tired, the frequent naps he takes enables him to exert more energy more rapidly, keeping his reflexes sharp and movements swift.
Evasion: His ability to experience bursts of energy has also influenced his fighting style throughout the years. While he is a relatively strong person due to his size, he prefers instead to evade attacks, allowing the opponent to wear themselves down before striking the final blow.
Stamina: A skill which goes hand in hand with his energy bursts. Because of the amount he sleeps, he has greater amounts of energy stored away which can be used to extend the period of a fight, however that doesn't mean his stamina is limitless.

Crimson Arm: Senkō Haretsu. A name which translates literally from Japanese as 'Flash Burst'. The weapon takes up the appearance of a sleek trench knife, the end of the blade hooked ever so slightly, ridges formed over the bridge that shields his knuckles to enhance damage in hand to hand combat. When used the blade grants temporary bursts of speed, similar in some ways to Lau's energy bursts, only it grants a greater amount of speed in one direction, launching him forwards at great speeds to either evade or strike the target he's aimed at. Left behind Lau in his movement can only be described as ripples of electricity, leaving small burns on the earth beneath his feet and occasionally melting the rubber soles of his shoes on occasion. The accompanying electricity isn't only for dramatic effect however, as it can be channeled through the blad, heating to immense temperatures which can carve through steel.

Name: Anastasia Nikolovia Fujiwara
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Personality: "Chin up, Its not like the world has ended just yet." - Anasasia has a personality that at first glance conveys an upbeat foolish individual who doesn't know what she's talking about. Much too jovial and someone who doesn't seem like the type of girl you can confide in. She jokes about whatever scenario shes in, and speaks light in the most heinous of conditions, beaming a smile from ear to ear to try to brighten up every minute of the day. This is to hide a very cynical personality that holds some very polarising opinons on both sides.

Though she is a woman in her mid-twenties, She can be child-like in her actions and feelings, She dislikes having to follow a strict schedule and likes to sleep whenever she feels like it. However when push comes to shove, she will always take special effort to support those around her and will without fail try to find a solution to whatever problem lays ahead of those around her through her tinkering and her efforts.

Brief Backstory:
Someone who escaped from the blood farms during an incident where security was laxed. Though content with the way things were, her inborn drive to consume more knowledge lead her to step outside of her boundaries, that and dreams of the old world with all the wonderments it had. Though suspicion would have aroused on how she managed to escape without much of a blemish on her. She was held in the settlements jail until she could be properly assessed in case she was a spy or the like. Though she insisted she wasn't and even after being let free. Suspicion was still carried about who she was and what she did. The only reason she even rose so high within the R&D facility was the sheer measure of her skill at the art of engineering. Though no one in the settlement would ever consider placing her for a leader role. She was content with where she was. Fixing old-world goods or building old technologies from scratch. Though she can innovate, her innovations are not as widespread and game-changing as the head of the facility herself. But Really Anastasia is content to learn and grow her repitoire of knowledge and thus here she stayed, working in R&D, making explosives for the effort, or things to help with food supply in her off time. Hell, She even made a hard-candy machine out of spare parts.

Safe to say, The eccentric engineer is here to help!
Equipment:
Outside of the contents of her Crimson Arm, which vary dramatically from fire-arms to explosives to medical supplies to just scavenged junk. She commonly carries a small suite of tools on her person, standard tools one would expect to find on an engineer, from a screwdriver and assorted heads, to a wrench. All carried within pouch on her belt.
Skills:
Engineering: When it comes to the prospect of Engineering skill and the knowledge one would require to create and maintain any manner of mechanical item. Anastasia is near unparalled when it coems to conventional item, This stems as a result of both her studying, her incredible memory (able to memorise any blueprint or mechanical theory in record time) and her also prodigal knack for being able to jerryrig things together when resources are lacking though the latter is more of making ends meet then her preferred way of doing it.
Memorisation: As stated in her engineering skill, Anastasia possesses an incredible memory, capable of recalling blueprints from first viewing with incredible detail and precision, as well as being able to memorise entire textbooks worth of contents, meaning she is an amazing sponge for soaking up knowledge. She's also a pretty fast reader.
Planning: A girl who plans for everything, its not uncommon for her to have something up her sleeve stored within her crimson arm, She tries to tackle any scenario whenever it presents itself, with whatever she can get her hands on. Leading to some comments on her cautious nature.
