I'm sorry I didn't post, forum was weird...
Hello everyone, I was directed here by TwilightDragon from the Interest Check and being the newb I am, I’m just going to tentatively post my character sheet here…? (I assume that’s right since it seems like that’s what everyone else had done but if not…Well we can’t delete posts so…)
neutral ● cheerful ● angry ● surprised ● sly ● upset
「Ten Years Later」
Username: DIVA
Name: Niu or Qingge*
Age: 22 Years Old (Appears 16)
Gender: Female
Country of Origin: Taiwan
Role: Assassin (Past: Triad**) → (Present: Neutral) → (Future: Vongola)
Flame:
Weapon/Fighting Style:
Physically, Qingge is very healthy but not particularly strong or fast; her skills rely heavily on technique to make up for the things she can't do. She can however take a lot of damage before she's down and her endurance/stamina is no joke.
Needles; Qingge carries various types of hidden needles on her person at all times, ranging from various sizes, weights, some poisoned, others meant for purely medicinal reasons and so forth. They function best when thrown at the target from a close distant or in direct space of the target—long distance throwing is only possible with the heavier needles but they are considerably slower.
Blank State; An ability that Qingge developed in her teenhood informally dubbed the blank state. The technique works through a form of meditation where Qingge can enter a state of mind where she essentially loses her inhibition and morality, allowing her to act purely on logic and complete tasks with the utmost efficiency. Because Qingge is normally hesitant to seriously injure people, she uses this ability to avoid feeling remorse or indecision during assassinations. However, it’s near impossible for her to enter the blank state when she’s already feeling intense emotions and generally must be calm in order to do so.
Appearance:
Present; An assassin trained to operate in broad daylight—Qingge has an unassuming appearance meant to blend into any urban setting without drawing too much attention. She stands at the average height (for her country) of 158cm. With short brown hair, wide eyes, and a round face, she has a girlish quality to her; in fact, she is often mistaken as a teenager despite being in her early 20’s. Her physique is that of someone who is in the peak of their health although not someone meant for close combat given her short stature and petite frame. When not on the job, she is often seen wearing the same or similar outfit which consist of black leggings, red running shoes, a headband, fingerless gloves, and a white saam (with black undershirt).
Ten Years Later; Considerably more mature in appearance, Qingge has an almost motherly quality to her features. She now looks closer to her actual age when compared to her youth, no longer mistaken as a teenager girl. Her hair has been grown out, now in a long ponytail that reaches well past her thighs and has since dropped the headband she used to wear. Overall, her appearance isn’t considerably different but she is very much a woman now. Noticeably, she's almost started to look like her mentor/friend*** from her childhood.
Personality:
Very expressive, Qingge is the type to wear her emotions on her sleeves; an honest character, she can’t lie very easily but is good at keeping secrets, always opting to keep her mouth shut instead of making excuses. While upbeat and full of energy, Qingge is not a sensitive person having been brought up in an atmosphere where such things were frowned upon (or worse) and as a result has a somewhat negative reaction to weakness, whether in herself or the people around her; she’s been hardened because of her environment but is still prone to self-doubt, often hesitating in her actions and decisions, much rather preferring to be told what to do.
In the future, she is still the expressive young woman she was ten year ago but has a calm serenity about her and is much more optimistic despite still being an assassin. She no longer needs the blank state to perform her duties, having found a balance in her life but will no longer kill just because she’s told to—using her own judgment and if she has doubts, she’ll openly voice them. One thing to note is that since becoming a (foster) mother****, Qingge often comes off as someone constantly stuck in la-la land, spacing out and tripping over herself/words but is in actuality is in a tough position between trying to balance her work and personal life out (she has no complaints however and finds time for both).
History:
Orphaned at a young age, presumably the unwanted child of a gangster, Qingge was raised together with several other orphans by the Chinese mafia or Triad* as it’s more accurately called and was originally known as “Niu” (”It’s a good enough name for someone like you,”). These children (and many more before and after) were trained to fulfill various tasks from early youth for said organization. At age ten, Niu was placed under the care of the assassin Lin-lin*** alongside five other girls, all expected to become masters in the art of seduction to be used in assassination and information gathering. Niu was dissatisfied. The tension between herself and Lin-lin was high; Niu was a wild child who made a genuine effort to raise hell for Lin-lin, who in retaliation, wasn’t against using violence to keep Niu under control.
Somewhere along the lines they formed a genuine bond.
And it was during their budding friendship that Niu was expected to perform her first assassination, by murdering a woman who had betrayed their organization. The woman already captured, all Niu had to do was kill her, to get a feel for what flesh felt like under blade. She couldn’t do it, resisting the commands of her superiors but gave in when Lin-lin threatened to take Niu’s life for her weakness. She was rattled by the experience, unable to function normally and it was then that Lin-lin decided to rename Niu, Qingge*** (”Your old name is boring and ugly, Qingge is much prettier,”) and for inexplicable reasons, Qingge as much happier being Qingge than Niu. There would be many more experiences like the last but Qingge had developed a technique informally dubbed the blank state. She could clear her mind of inhibition and morality, only functioning on reason alone to perform her kills.
Unlike her sisters-in-arms, Qingge wasn’t suited to seduction and in fact was found to be perfect for just to opposite; public assassinations, having the innate ability to blend into crowds because of her inconspicuous appearance coupled with the blank state, she could easily find someone in a bustling city, stab them, inject them with poison, etc. and calmly walk away like nothing happened. It wasn’t a pleasant lifestyle by any means, but she was under good protection with the Triad, well-fed, and had a friend to share her pain with (albeit silently). However, Lin-lin’s health had been failing for many years and by the time Qingge was twenty, Lin-lin was unable to function properly and was both figuratively and literally pushed out of the way being considered an invalid, left to die slowly in some backend of the headquarters, unable to leave because of the secrets she carried.
And it was with Lin-lin’s final moments that she told Qingge to leave China and to seek out Vongola in Italy. While Lin-lin couldn’t tell Qingge much, she did explain the basics of the Famiglia and Italy, she told Qingge to “get in their favor, serve them, and you’ll be safe”. Qingge ran away from the Triad, stowing away on a cargo ship as per Lin-lin’s instructions and journeying to Italy. It has been two years since then and Qingge finds herself in Trespiano…
****Ten years to the future, Qingge is the foster mother to a strange nine-year-old girl named Alvin.
Overview: Qingge is a young and cheerful woman whose origins lie in Taiwan, operating as an assassin with the aid of her blank state ability. For two years now she has been seeking out Vongola upon the request of her childhood mentor/friend Lin-lin.

I would accept you, but I have to say, something that doesn't appeal to me is her age. I mean, I'm 19, but I certainly don't think it's possible that I look 13. A 22 year old can't look like a 16 year old. Maybe you can make her look like an 18 year old, at least? Even looking at her appearance, I don't see a sixteen year old, but maybe a seventeen or eighteen year old, or maybe even nineteen.
Another thing- having a foster child while she's in the Mafia? Seems a bit... off, doesn't it? I mean, if you want her to keep the kid, then I have no problem. I'm just stating that it's strange, that's all. ^^;

Oh, hello Diva~
holy crap, her and I are the same height wat
For one, where would she find the time to parent the kid? Does the kid go to school? Do they know martial arts? How would she find the resources to foster this kid? I mean, she left the Triad so...
That's just my opinion. No need to worry.
Would the other gang members babysit the foster kid, because I can think of one character who would be absolutely and hilariously bad at it.

Adding on to her appearance, it would be nice if she were older since you have her history panned out. Maybe just changing her appearance or nixing out the fact that she looks younger. Just stick with an inconspicuous appearance.
I don't see any harm having her be a foster mother if its for the sake of the plot and not just an added feature to Qingge's history. Also, regarding her sudden jump to the Vongola from the triad... Is there a specific reason why Lin-lin told her to change? Was Qingge in danger of staying with the Triad? From what I've read, she seemed to be a good fit for that organization.
And should I wait for Hasayo or should i post?

Gonna post later tonight. Out for the day.
So.
A.) Hello Diva.
B.) I'm terribly sorry for my absence. It started as laziness but then as the school year started to close my teachers decided that they'd all give big-ass projects and tests and my leisure time evaporated to nothing.
But now I have three half-days left and I'm free.
That means I can come back!
But the read is scary and long so could someone spare a quick summary?
I'll try to not let this happen again. ^^

Oh. Okay then.
Jak fought Sonya, managed to hit her after a terrible first shot that had the recoil smack her in the hard hard enough to cause a nosebleed.
Sonya took Jak down and Jak went and talked with Naoto.
Abbey was up next with nunchucks. It went as well as you'd guess, considering she'd never used them before.
Abbey bloodied her nose.
Daisuke steps in to help and starts to spin the nunchucks.
Daisuke not only hits himself in the face and bloodies his nose, but knocks himself unconscious as well.
Cyril yells at Fionn and Fionn yells back. Fionn is released from the argument.
Jak stands up, punches Cyril and yells at him.
Jak sits down and talks with Fionn and gives him a popsicle.
Daisuke is sleeping nearby and Fionn made a comment about it.
Naoto is yelling at Cyril right now.
