Looks like a whole lot of shiitake took place back there. >_> Meh, whatever. XD Doesn't really matter, as I literally have a single Japanese character reserved for Japan-based RPs.
===
Human Bio:
Name: Aiko Kiryuu
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:
(If you're all picture people, I might have a sketch up later on. ^ ^;)
Aiko is a slender girl of average height. Her thin lips are set in a perpetual grin, and her dark eyes are known to be rather piercing. Her shoulder-length hair is black, curly, and has never been dyed. Other notable features include long, thin pianist fingers and the rather small features of her face, apart from the glare of her eyes.
Personality:
Aiko is sweet with her words and is fond of teasing others and creating pet names with or without the consent of the other party. Critics put her off as annoying, rude and bothersome, an attention-seeker. Others may consider her as charismatic and attractive, maybe a bit flirty. All will agree that she is either proud or arrogant, whichever synonym you happen to prefer. Whatever people think of her, she doesn't seem to mind, and it doesn't seem to deter her antics. She will treat most everyone in the same condescending, honeyed manner.
When the situation calls for it, she can lapse into seriousness and can, in fact, be useful in certain situations. Contrary to popular belief, Aiko does not tolerate slacking off or dilly-dallying, and will get the job done, whatever it is. She simply believes that goals can be reached while having a little...fun on the way, even if that means ticking people off or embarrassing them. In this aspect, she can be described as apathetic and self-serving, though it isn't unknown for her to help others if she happens to be bored.
Backstory:
Although the growth of her ego and her craving for attention can be attributed to it, Aiko rarely speaks about her personal life, perhaps preferring to come off as "mysterious" and not wanting to be associated with the rich kid stereotype. She is an only child with wealthy parents engaged in multinational businesses, though their positions are not particularly high enough to gain too much unwanted attention. Her father enrolled her in a public school, not wanting her to become spoiled, but it can be said that her mother is the opposite, doting too much on her. In any case, the latter's efforts rubbed off most on Aiko, and is mostly responsible for her constant want for others to pay attention to her and her alone. Still, her competence in serious circumstances, at least, comes from her father.
Skills:
Aiko is a skilled pianist, as well as a singer. Her grades are above average, though not exceptional. It can also be said that she is an expert at getting attention.
Alter Ego: Crisis Sonata
Alter Ego Bio:
Name: Crisis Sonata
Gender: Female
Appearance:
(Again, may put up picture later)
Crisis Sonata's appearance is identifiable from several miles away. Her ash blond curls seem to glow in light, forming a halo around her head, and her eyes are a neon shade of purple. She is always in elaborate costume, usually in brightly-colored revealing dresses with skirts that flow in impossible shapes and heels that seem dangerously high.
Personality:
Crisis Sonata is the diva to end all divas. She is vain, arrogant, apathetic, and narcissistic, and believes in her talent over everyone else's--though her talent is quite something. She will approach any stranger in sight, mostly to bother them, nag them, ask them personal questions...The possibilities are endless, and she has been known to stalk people she considers "interesting" or "amusing" for days on end, without actually caring for what happens to them in the end. Other people are items to her, objects that are only useful when their eyes are trained on her and her alone. In whatever job she happens to have to do, she takes on alone, but often brings companions along simply to "entertain" her. Either way, she always finishes what she started...So most will do good to stay out of her way in case what she started happens to be something they don't want ended.
Weapon(s):
Called the "Staccato Blades," a row of sharp lances follow Crisis Sonata wherever she goes, hovering in mid-air, floating single-file behind her when she's moving and surrounding her in a circle when she's not. They are graceful valkyrie-like weapons with elaborate designs and silver blades that seem to glow in the dark. Crisis Sonata rarely has to move to use them, as a flick of the finger or a single uttered word will send them off to do her bidding.
Abilities:
As stated above, Crisis Sonata has almost effortless control of her blades, and they move with surprising unmanned speed and accuracy. However, get past them and Crisis herself is quite fragile, as she knows just about nothing when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, and is always wearing unnecessarily unprotective clothing. Like Aiko, Crisis is proficient in piano and in singing.
