[OOC] Tokyo Ghoul ∑

[Raijinslayer]

@SavatoYeah, something along those lines I believe. Was so hyped for it though, and only found out about that tid-bit when I was at the store.

"So I shouldn't kick your ass because we're friends? What's next? The CCG dies by our united friendship powers and we all celebrate under a Talking Tree? Try harder, buddy."

Name:
Asoka

Age:
19

Gender:
Female
[Identifies as whatever to win arguments]

Height & Weight:
155 cm - 47 kg

Sexuality:
Bisexual

CCG Rating:
S~
Her passive behavior makes her rate difficult to assert as she's rarely been engaged with CCG officers. It is but an estimation.

CCG Title:
-Mercury
-The Troll

Mask:
Usual Mask

When screwing around/mocking foes or the CCG

Kagune:
A very bizarre Kagune to say the least and rarely seen due to its nature Asoka prefers to conceal unless necessary. Revealing itself as three tentacle-like silver Kagune, the same shape as Rize's though broader (think the tails of a tailed Beast in Naruto). They're silver in color, hence the name Mercury, but the biggest characteristic would be the viscus attributes it has. It almost seems to be liquid and fluids appear to drip out constantly from it, only to have the droplets vanish ones hitting the ground in minuscule clouds of steam.

The unique thing about this Kagune is that the Rc cells seem to have a deficiency in their hardening mechanic as they are stuck at being too spread out from each other. Consequently, it almost seems to be a liquid Kagune. It holds little to not defensive and offensive capabilities, barely capable of grazing the skin of a Ghoul let alone defend from their attacks. Other Kagune cut through this one like butter, giving Asoka zero defensive value like offensive. The catch however is simple, each Kagune can divide into four smaller tentacles and being viscus as ever it is also swift and insanely flexible. The liquid factor comes in here, as it is capable of molding itself to infiltrate minuscule pores in both organic and inorganic things.

In other words, her Kagune can essentially infiltrate any form of organic matter, especially Rc cell rich ones, as well as inert objects with crevices. She can thus easily sneak in her Kagune through pores in concrete for instance and catch her assailants off guard. When infiltrating something, she can make such things an extension of herself, as such her weak Kagune can become a giant fist of concrete, but the worst would be when she'd infiltrate other Kagune or the bodies of enemies. She can cause the affected members to pop and have her liquidated Kagune spread to swiftly posses and/or kill them.

She can also sever her Kagune a la Nutcracker and either have the pieces quickly retreat to her or have them be stationary. After a few seconds, they will start to evaporate and cover the air with a noxious gas. Although not deadly, they strongly disorient vision and hearing while leaving a terrible headache. It smells like really bad bleach that's been washing a freezer filled with rotten food. She can also be affected by this, hence her gas mask.

RC Type:
Bikaku

Special Quirk:
Having had a rather difficult Kagune to use when younger, Asoka was forced to compensate by focusing her efforts, with the help of the old man, into martial arts and general self defense. Unlike most of her 'brothers and sisters' from the mansion, she relied more on her flexible body and mastery of different martial arts. She isn't a God at it of course, and with her recent practices she hasn't honed her abilities too much, but her rating can go on par with Kakujas because of this.

Leading more than a few gangs, Asoka has made herself a reputation and needed an icon to make her recognizable. Enter The Umbrella, a tool made similarly to Yamori's with Kagune-like efficiency. Although most of it is thin and has little defensive value, it does serve as a Bulgarian Umbrella as it can fire up to three small projectiles with tranquilizers. It also holds a concealed cane-sword and a blade that can protrude from the top. Among Ghouls she holds the title of "Umbrella Loli".

She knows a lot about a Ghoul's anatomy despite hating their flesh more than anything else. She didn't have to kill too many to know, as once in a while a little moron would get a little too cocky and required Asoka to tie up loose ends. Her tools provided the means to show such morons the righteous way. She fully understands that the Kakuhou is the most essential part of a Ghoul and often targets that part when possessing a body. She is capable of clogging it for a limited time with her Kagune, or otherwise destroy it.

Personality:
A word that would best describe Asoka would be opportunistic. Like many ghouls, her morality is severely warped, though she doesn't orient it toward sadism and such. Heavily pragmatic with a large amount of sarcasm salt to go full-on "No Bullshit" mode, she has a zero tolerance policy for irrational blather or anything that she cannot grasp. Consequently she also limits her need to expose herself to danger. Concepts such as Spirituality or Intangible bonds are rather annoying gimmicks that distract her very business-like demeanor as make her job a whole lot harder.

Although she conceals this behind her higher intellect she needed to survive in her early years, Asoka is a gargantuan control freak with a possible superiority complex that came afterward. Somewhat fitting to her Kagune's controlling traits, she has a really hard time with people saying No to her or disobeying. Heck even disagreeing with Asoka will make her irritated and quickly enter a fit of searing rage. Luckily, she isn't shy about lying and cheating to get what she wants, her lack of any convictions other than her own gain make it easy for her to change her position on things when times are dire. She's a survivor after all.

It isn't rare for her to add salt to the wound by mocking individuals showing clear submission or inferiority toward her position. She's clearly mocked the CCG more than once when they attempted to handle her current cartel, wearing rather silly masks to remind them of how much of a joke she saw them as.

While sadistic when needed and heavily cynical about anything, Asoka is rather vain and has refined tastes in everything, including sex. Promiscuous, as a ghoul she never really did abide to any moral code, as such never truly understood the meaning of a close bond after the old man expired. She does love everything that is cute and pink, all that girly stuff, for some reason. She also holds a sweet soft side for children, possibly motherly instinct or just seeing herself into them and her past struggles.

She hasn't gone into a "Tension Boogie Woogie" state yet. But if she does, it'll be very funny.

Backstory:
Likely abandoned, Asoka never really knew how she ended up alone in such a young age. The old man found her almost starved to death and evidently incapable of acting independently. Like many others, she was brought under his wing and was offered a kindness that her little mind had never even witnessed beforehand. Because she was so small, she recovered quickly from such experiences, chalking them up as just the equivalents of bad dreams. Though a problem quickly emerged and it was her large dependence on the old man. Asoka was clearly the baby of the group, always clinging on her provider's leg and when grown would always stay in proximity, be his right hand man.

This was truly disconcerting, especially when she was rather timid and rather upbeat despite her experiences. Evidently when came time to initiate her in battle, Asoka displayed poor results, especially with her unusual Kagune. Clearly with her behavior, dependence and lack of offensive power, the future looked bleak for Asoka. The old man considered the Kagune not worth the effort yet and oriented Asoka toward a different type of training, the one where she'd utilize to the maximum her superhuman skills to gain an advantage.

Luckily for her provider, she had a rather efficient brain when it came to learning and acquired martial arts capabilities quickly enough. Her ability was good, but her discipline was simply not there. She still remained overly reliant on others when applying her abilities outside of home. It came to no surprise that she was both heartbroken and left terrified in this cruel world once the man didn't come back. Her 'siblings' would eventually leave, one by one, and her time would come soon as well as she needed food.

The cold, hard truths of reality nearly killed her, of course, but it was never enough to permanently put her down. Slowly but surely, she lost any form of desire to depend on anyone, whether it is affection or help. She's practically forgotten about what the man had brought to her and decided to flip reality off as it did when she was left for dead when younger. As luck would have it, the same ghouls that made her life so hard weren't exactly the brightest, since education was hard to come by for them. While not eloquent at the time, it wasn't hard for her to make it clear that they'd gain X amount by doing X things, which in the end she'd bank on a lot.

She brought he goods to the simpler ghouls, and in return many more flocked to this "Umbrella" individual. While she didn't have her weapon at the time, she did carry around an umbrella everywhere as she really hates rain. Her megalomaniac tendencies grew at this point, leaving behind her lovable and shy persona just as her parents and the old man left her behind, the 12th Ward's Kingpin was running operations. Unlike many ghouls, she never really bothered to show her prowess to the CCG or rival ghouls. To her, she'd benefit more from simply sending minions to do everything for her. Plus the "Leading operating in the shadows" image made her all fuzzy inside when she thought about it.

When someone say Kingpin, one says many gang members, and when there are many gang members, there are quite a few deviants around. She was quickly initiated to the hardships of a leader and the "necessary" actions to take on more volatile individuals. She was able to develop her Kagune through various "punishments" and torture sessions which she didn't particularly savor but did learn a lot about. Through racketeering and simply transition of goods, she made herself quite the amount of capital, and that didn't count for her talent involving numbers in which she did use to guide various investments to make herself quite the stash of cash. Unfortunately using this much money as a ghoul is rather impossible without the CCG sniffing her out.

On parallel to all her shady operations, she led a normal life in a normal apartment. She did go to highschool and behaved like her shy self when she was younger. She graduated in top ranks and is currently aiming for a Bachelor in Statistics. Due to her experience in manipulating money and all that smelly stuff, it came to no surprise she cheesed through most of this discipline. Asoka seemed to have countered all odds against her and hit the highest point a Ghoul living in the street could dream of, but now the compulsive need to maybe remember her lost self pushed her to agree into returning to that place. A pointless action, but she didn't want to keep this feeling bottled up.

Roy is definitely NOT our Lord and Savior.

@SavatoInteresting character, as always. Can't wait to see her in action.

[Savato]

@Raijinslayer Merci!

Hey will your character go full on Tension Boogie Woogie when in Kakuja???????

[Raijinslayer]

@SavatoI have never heard that term before, so you're going to half to explain it to me.

[Savato]

A term used in the Tokyo Ghoul community to describe a weird or fucked up thing. In this case I'm using it to describe the state where Ghouls spew the most hilarious nonsense imaginable when in Kakuja, or sometimes when just going berserk (all the time for our friend Takizawa)

[Raijinslayer]

@SavatoAhhhhhh. . . . Maybe. Will have to think on that for a bit.

@GrafRoy Zeppeli Sorry to be a bother, but can Itsuki be posted in the character section now?

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

Sorry, got me a new game and tried it. Bloodborne. Now I am rage quitting it for a while.

Yes, Itsuki is accepted. Post him over in the Character section.

[Savato]

@Raijinslayer Well apart from Eto they all blather nonsense in Kakuja as a some form of loss of control. Eto did it on purpose most of the time to be extra spoopy.

[Savato]

Sorry, got me a new game and tried it. Bloodborne. Now I am rage quitting it for a while.

Yes, Itsuki is accepted. Post him over in the Character section.

@GrafRoy Zeppeli

HAH.

Noob.

Jk, Dark Souls games are brutal like that.

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

I feel like a noob, if I'm being honest. Apparently, I picked up the hardest to master shit xD

[Raijinslayer]

@SavatoI think Jason might be an exception to that, but he was bat shit anyway, so consider it highly probably if he ever pulls it out. He doesn't really take pride in his Kakuja Form because of what he had to do to get it, so it's definitely a last resort thing.

[Savato]

@Raijinslayer He just went full retard ramming into Kaneki all the time and kept screaming Kaneki.

Takizama, Eto and Kaneki were all spewing bullshit when in Kakuja.

Also Yoshimura seemed rather in control too, though he was exceptionally experienced and powerful.

@GrafRoy Zeppeli Wow u pleb noob

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

@Savato Mayhap someone forgot the proof of having read the rules?

[Savato]

@GrafRoy Zeppeli is almost 7 am lel cut me some slack.

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

Only cause it is fucking early then xD

Finishing up my CS. I'm going the One Eyed Ghoul route, guys.

[Savato]

You're a fake overlord and savior anyway

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

Better than most religions though.

[Savato]

You got nothing on Scientology m8

[Raijinslayer]

@GrafRoy ZeppeliNatural-born or fucked-up experimentation? Hi-fives self for winning bet with self
