[OOC] Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky [Discontinued, Hiatus]

[TheFake]

Speaking of characters I am thinking about making one more but...Every idea I have come up with seems too much like one already here...what a conundrum...

Just a heads up.

@Crimson Raven

I know the feeling, actually just started drafting one up.

@Crimson Raven

Zane's just a teenager going through puberty and chuunibyo syndrome, so he's not much of a threat. On the other hand, when you're pretty much the same as that teenage chuunibyo, despite being 2000 years old...now that's a problem. XD

[Crimson Raven]

I need a favor, whenever somthing conserns me, can you metion me pls? Its an odd request, I know. Just...RL sometimes gets in the way.

Personality

Calm and patient is what most people have in mind when laying eyes on Usagi. She's usually silent as a butterfly, yet if needed she can howl like a wolf. She also happens to be very patient, never having to yell at someone, except on rare, yet desperate situations. And when she does, it's indeed powerful. Usagi is also wise and while supposed to be a servant purely on death, she usually loves the sight of life, unlike other shinigamies, and would spare someone rather then taking their lives, even those who've caused very hateful crimes. She believes people like them should get a second chance at life. Yet if forced to kill, Usagi does it quick and painless, so that the victim will never have to shout, yelp, or even peep in pain.

Background

Usagi Shikinami was originally born as an okami shoujo (wolf girl) to a white father werewolf and a human mother. As a young child, she always appreciated life and nature, often looking at the sky, at the plains, or the woods and watch the animals live and play out their daily lives. She even helped some of them when they were in harms way, yet also respecting nature's way of sacrifice. Usagi practiced with her father in communicating with animals and nature itself, with the practice of medicine and healing by her mother, who was greatly experienced in those arts. Her early life was happy and quite peaceful.

Yet suddenly, at age 9, Usagi and her family was approached by a shinigami at their house. The reaper warned the little girl that her parents will perish in very soon time. He said that one of them will perish brutally and violently, while the other will perish quietly and calmly. Yet he did not specify when and how it will come and vanished silently into the night. The parents were slightly worried but felt as if they can avoid death until their old age kicks in. However, they were wrong. On a night, directly two years after the shinigami's warning, Usagi's father was hunting at night when he was suddenly attacked by a bunch of farmers who believed him to be an evil demon out for blood. The werewolf father did not survive as he was stabbed repeatedly by pitchforks and was shot in the head as a finisher. Then, 5 years afterwards, Usagi's mother came down with a mysterious sickness. Even after the best attempts that Usagi had for medicine and healing, she could not save her mother from dying as she passed away silently in the late afternoon sun...

Now alone, Usagi had nowhere else to go. She was confused, unsure on what to do with her life, weather if she should continue living or kill herself and start again in a different reincarnation (so she thinks). However, before she could make her final decision, she was approached by the same shinigami who predicted her parents' deaths. He felt pity for the girl being all alone out in the world and was sorry for her predicament. Yet Usagi hadn't barked back... she didn't blame him. She knew that her parents were going to die anyways. Perhaps not in this way, but she knew that death was just a natural part of life, and that all living things expire at some point. Even if it takes them centuries or even millennias. The shinigami then offered Usagi to be one of the shinigamies herself, to have a purpose in life. She can then control and predict who lives and who dies, while also taking a life, saving a life, or maybe even reviving a life once every blue moon. The girl agrees and takes a scythe for herself, whom with some added features of her own, calls it the Shinpan no kama, or "The Scythe of Judgement."

Since then, she has predicted, saved, killed and revived thousands of people in her career. While she dislikes to bring death upon her blade, let alone telling the somber predictions of death, she does keep a straight face while quickly and painlessly put one person's misery to an end... and cries inside.

Powers

Like many shinigamies, she is known to predict many people's fates in life and when they will die. However, unlike most of them, she can also breathe life into a deceased object or thing. This however depends on how much magical mana she can use, as all living things take a different source of mana to successfully revive them. For example, an average human being would take around 5,000 mana to successfully revive it. Yet the less mana being provided to said human, the less chance of it getting revived. To regain her power, she must either let it charge naturally for up to 2 hours (every hour equals 2,500 mana gained) or more, or to bathe in a mana pool in the shinigami realm. The mana can also be used to heal injuries of any kind. However, the reviving magic only works for organic organisms who died within the last 12 hours and it will not revive artificial robots and beings.

Skills

Usagi possesses great jumping abilities, as well as strength, rapid healing, and agility. She is also known to teleport anywhere that is in her line of sight, with only one special teleportation move to the shinigami realm.

Weapons

Usagi wields her own modified scythe she calls Shinpan no kama or "The Scythe of Judgement." Its comprised of a mixture of hard, yet light weight materials, in which it can slice through almost anything as if it were a stick of butter. It also happens to have the maximum capacity of holding in 10,000 mana at a time.

Equipment

Usagi carries around various herbs, medicines, and remedies to heal a person through natural means. In emergency circumstances, she carries a few extra mana and healing potions, with her mana potions having up to 500 in each one.

Hm...now this is an actually interesting thing to consider.

Rui-Ling's power basically revolves around the fact that he can extract the soul of a person, before either shooting it off as a beam or giving it back to their body. During that period in which the body has no soul...what would happen if Usagi (jfc, I can't take that name seriously XD) attempted reviving the 'corpse'?

[Lmpkio]

@Ashifili I guess you can call Rui "Death" and Usagi (In case your wondering, I got the name from the anime Usagi Drop. Its bloody adorable lol) "Life" (Even though she should really be death.

As long as she has enough mana for said corpse (in this case 5,000 to make a revivation successful/ 7,500 to be a 100% chance), she can revive him/her.

[Ashifili]

@LmpkioBut in this case, where Rui-Ling literally has their soul, what is being revived? A new entity?

And when I saw Usagi, I thought Sailor Moon. XD

[Lmpkio]

@Ashifili Usagi is filling it with new life really. I can put that if she uses around 8,000 - 10,000/all of her mana, she can pretty much create a new "soul" if you will. 5,000 is like jumpstarting a deceased heart and healing its wounds.

Your god damn right! XD How did I totally not notice that connection???

[Ashifili]

@Lmpkio So it's less 'revival' and more like 'recycling', huh?

[Lmpkio]

@Ashifili Yeah you can say that.

[KoL]

@Lmpkio

Well, Usagi (funny for a wolf to be named rabbit, BTW) is much better than Lilith though her power is still a bit undefined, mainly because of that mana thing that was totally unnecessary. Indeed, you can't have an unlimited number of resurrections to do, but a more understandable limitation would be better. Like, being limited to do it only once per hour, and not being able to bring back people that died more than 12 hours ago. Our singing like this.

Now for yours and @Ashifili's question. Nothing would happen and she would depend her power uselessly. The reason is that someone's soul don't kill them directly, but instead renders a human comatose, and most Youkai (mostly non humanoid, with a few exceptions) have soul and body joined as a single thing, so Rui-ling's power outright kills them and they can't be revived by any known means.

Also, it's impossible to create new souls. You can build a facsimile using some forbidden arcane methods, but still such a "soul" would not be the real deal in many ways.

[McFazzer]

...and most Youkai (mostly non humanoid, with a few exceptions) have soul and boudoir joined as a single thing...

@KoL

Hmmm *Googles boudoir*

bou·doir
ˈbo͞oˌdwär/
noun: boudoir; plural noun: boudoirs

a woman's bedroom or private room.

Google

So souls are connected to a woman's bedroom? Interesting (I'm guessing you meant body) :3

Heh, funny... I edited it anyway, since I meant body, but somehow my phone didn't got it.

Anyway, this gave me a few ideas, though not all of them are safe to discuss in the open...

@KoL

The way to a man's soul is through a woman's bedroom? Or are you thinking that souls can be a type of hammer space? Or can souls set up an area of influence, dubbed as a 'room', that the soul's owner has complete control over?

The ideas, too many!

@McFazzer

I wonder what's it? I truly wonder...

[KoL]

OK, people. I have the next post done and am just waiting for Windel to conclude a thing that he's doing before I post.

Also, the Mission Board has been added to the first page of the OOC, though it's blank for the time being. I'll update you all when new missions arrive.

[Lmpkio]

@KoL Well the mana that has been used will stake some time to charge up alone. An hour will be perfectly fine. And sure you can say that of a person was dead for more then 12 hours is already dead beyond revival.

And glad you cleared that out for the soul thing. I didn't actually know how it would turn out. Now Ik.

[KoL]

@LmpkioIf that's so, then she's cleared. Just one last thing, when you try to bring someone back, don't say that it worked automatically, because to everyone is what they look like to be.

For example, a resurrection on Eos would fail, since she's a robot, but there's pretty much no way to know that she's one just from looking at her. The same goes for a few other creatures that may pop up in the RP.

[Ashifili]

Huh, this is my first time hearing about Youkais straight up dying if they have their soul removed... The intention was for Airgetlam to be the strongest non-fatal weapon or something. Is there a way to work around that?

[Lmpkio]

@KoL I'll keep that in mind.

And this will only work for organic beings too. Artificial intelligance and other artificial programs will not be revived by all means.
