Intro

The legends say that a long time ago the world was a better place than it's today. No dark clouds obscuring all but the littlest slivers of sunlight during the day, no blood red moon looming over the skies like the ominous eye of a foreign deity during the night, no monsters prowling the fields and the feeding on weak and the ill. Alas, all things must end one day and so did the old world.

The one we live now is a land where the few who can afford it, live their lives locked away in the few wretched hives of scum and villainy that pass as the world's last cities, each of them huge metropolises full of nothing but the worst humanity has to offer. These cities are run by the shadow corporation known as Yotsuba Technology Corporation, YTC for shorts, a company that rose to prominence after the fall of the old world and now runs it's remnant with an iron fist, being effectively the only form of government left on earth. Their only rule is profit.

Outside the cities things aren't pretty as well, in fact, the world is even more bleak to those who can't afford to live under YTC's security, even as beggars and rapscallions, for the world outside is the hunting grounds of the Youkai. Monsters of all sizes and forms, few of them aren't dangerous to humans, but the greater part are beasts that know only one thing... hunger. The price for freedom from YTC's rules is fear, for even the least rattling at a nearby brush could mean that one's life is forfeit.

To fight this darkness, warrior academies have been founded all over the world, using the power of a technology known as FLUX, the main source of energy in this dark world and channeling their own spiritual energy (present in all living beings), known as Zetsu, these warriors of the darkness came to be known as Chasers. The ones who manage to graduate from an academy are the world's last line of defense, the people's shield and their sword to fight back the shadows and... hopefully liberate the world, one day.

Now, you ask, what caused the world to become what it's today? The answer is simple. Long ago, during an event known today as the Crimson Overrule, a being of immense power, Tsukuyomi -The Prince of Moonlight- fought the Chasers and, despite their best efforts, he won. After this Tsukuyomi plunged the world in darkness eternal and retreated to his palace, leaving the people of the land to struggle for even the most basic needs.

Even now, Tsukuyomi watches from his blood-soaked throne, only the Chasers turn this predicament around, but... will they do it, or is history fated to repeat itself once again?

Juniper Finlay

"Bash, Smash and Crash!"

Name: Juniper Finlay

Title: Pink Pain

Gender: Female

Race: Hooman

Age: 16

Height: 5'1"

Weight: 111 lbs

Appearance: Juniper stands at 5'1 and weighs 111 pounds. Long pink hair and matching eyes, she is pale skinned and gymnastic. She has fairly cute features, which she only boosts with her big smile and excitable nature. On her wrists and ankles there are brands from the shackles she used to wear in her old slave days.

Juniper's clothes consist of thick armour. When she isn't wearing heavy gear, she likes pink. Lots and lots of pink. Pink skirts, pink dresses, pink tops and trousers, pink jackets. It lights her up like a beacon. Just look for a short girl in pink and that's most likely going to be Juniper.

Personality: Juniper is, in the nicest possible way, very excitable. She doesn't walk as much as she does bounce, and even the smallest thing can make her crack a mile long smile. She's cheerful, optimistic and upbeat, always looking on the bright side of life - no mean feat, as anyone can assure you. She adores sweet things, cute things and pink things. It could be a brain-eating demon from hell and she'll find it adorable if it's the right shade of fuschia. It takes a hell of a lot to get Juniper worried about something, and a hell of a lot more to make her melancholy.

Ultimately, she is most at home on the battlefield. Something about having boundless energy and utter jubilation even in the most life threatening of situations. She skips, dances and plays around the foe, regardless of their strength and skill, yet still performs well. She favours the war-pick as her weapon of choice, though she's perfectly happy using any heavy weapon. Tiny little daggers and short swords are beyond her. Despite her bouncy, quirky nature, she has something of a cruel streak and she's not above using violence to achieve her ends. Like anything else, she carries this out with total joy.

When she does get angry, upset or scared, it will be a very melodramatic display, often with enough waterworks to plumb a small African village or literal steam rising from her ears. She is very much a "slow to anger, quick to forgive" type and you can usually avoid her wrath by distracting her with something sweet or shiny. She's very materialistic, not thinking about big questions like what, why and how. She's a bit of a loudmouth and utterly shameless. Her short attention span can prove annoying, and her natural curiosity means she often pushes herself to find out things she isn't meant to know.

Short Bio: Pull up a chair, my friend, this is quite the tale.

Juniper Finlay was the daughter of a slave mother and her master father. As a child, she was sent to work down the mines, seeking out precious metals and gemstones to sell. Even at this young age, even with s harsh profession, Juniper was always going to be an upbeat, cheerful girl. Her arms and legs were branded by the superheated shackles, and she laughed and shrugged it off like it was nothing. She spent nine tenths of her time collared to a rock underground, and all she did was learn to appreciate the sunlight. She spent her work life whistling and singing like a caged canary as well as gathering gems and metals. Being the daughter of her master, her relationship with her dad was very love-hate. Sometimes he would be very tender and caring for his daughter, teaching her things like maths and English and occasionally spending time with her the way a father should, but then setting her near impossible quotas and punishing her harshly if she failed to meet them. She became very learned for a slave, a point of both respect and contention in her camp.

Soon, though, the workers had enough of it. After a brief period of planning, the slaves revolted against the slave drivers, hoping their superior numbers and strength would outweigh their lack of training and equipment. The revolt was... a total; disaster and was crushed with ease. But Juniper, being content where she was, didn't bother revolting. Imagine the surprise of the prison guards when they went into the mines only to see young Juniper working away happily as if her colleagues hadn't just been massacred outside. Her master was touched by her loyalty. If it were any other slave, they would have received some token gift and sent back to work. But this was the master's daughter. Unable to continue to send her to work in these conditions, he accepted her fully as his. She was maybe 11 at this time.

His daughter's chipper attitude and great strength impressed him, and he soon realised that her great strength could be used for better purposes. Rather than send her to work in the fields or mines, he used her as a guard. By the time she was 13, she had took down three revolts not unlike the one she had ignored, the one that put her in her position of power. It wasn't that she particularly enjoyed her position, she just didn't see the problem with what she was doing. She favoured the pickaxe and hammer she had used throughout most of her life, and soon her father was developing a specialised weapon that she could use to greater effect on the field. Of course, slaves aren't the only threats to her dad's business, and she had taken on several Youkai looking for easy kills. Her first Youkai kill may not have been particularly impressive, but it was better than her fellow guards could do.
Realising the potential that his daughter had, Juniper's father had her shipped her off to Akatsuki Academy, hoping he would return to him a seasoned warrior who could lead and train his guards.

Manifestation: Reactive Armour - The more damage Juniper takes, the tougher she becomes. This doesn't make her invincible, but she becomes harder to kill and it takes more to injure her as she takes hits.

Weapons: Her trusty War-Pick, a weapon that looks like someone crossed a hammer with a scythe. One handed. Combines brute force with a specialised sharp point, making it perfect for busting through heavy armour. It is attached by a length of steel rope to the gauntlet she wears, allowing her to throw it and retrieve it at will. The tip can also be infused with FLUX or gunpowder, which allows her to either strike for added effect or blast the weapon out the enemy when it's embedded in them and back to her hand.

Equipment: Metal rope, both for reclaiming the War-Pick and for tying folks up.

Other: Nothing important

Theme: Can't help but be reminded of this

[Spriggs27]

Okay so Yokai are gonna be the Funnhaus I guess, getting treated like second classed humans and treated like terrorist ? or you gonna leave that out KoL.

[Matsuri]

Been lingering and definitely interested. Will get a CS up in the morning :)

[KoL]

Okay so Yokai are gonna be the Funnhaus I guess, getting treated like second classed humans and treated like terrorist ? or you gonna leave that out KoL.

@Spriggs27

Hmm... nope? Youkai are Youkai, just that. People treat them as monsters, because they are monsters, but under the current state of the world, there's little you can do if a mummy decides to build their newest pyramid/casino next to your house (they have the money, they do it), or about that freaking zombie rocker that you can't stand the songs of. Youkai are apart of society now, that's a fact.

The bad ones are the monsters that prey on people and cause chaos, those are the type Chasers hunt.

@Brithwyr

I'll check your CS in no time, but I got to say the your image is broken (don't mind that, seems it got good again. I'll never understand this site), however I check the URL and got to say that I like it, since I have done a very cherished D&D character using that very same one way back in the past.

@Jay Kalton

You're welcome to join, of course.

Announcement Regarding Entrance Exam

Well, the upcoming segment (the test) will be handled largely without my interference, since it would be two much of a hassle to have to post back-to-back with everyone at the same time, plus, work and college would be sure to get in my way. @TheWindel can can help you in my absence, thought.

So, here are the OOC rules, IC ones will be provided upon my next story post:

- Your characters will have to find a way to cross the "Downtown Ruins", a set of old buildings and broken streets that has been abandoned long ago. Some say this was the original place of Tsukuyomi's descent upon Earth, but no one knows for sure. Either way it's old and mysterious, so it's the perfect place to start with a bang.

- The time limit to go from the entry point to the other point (about 10 km of trekking through the maze like ruins) is 4 hours and 30 minutes, whoever fails to hit this mark is out. Furthermore, there are several tarot cards of the Minor Arcana (numerals and court cards), scattered through the city, each participant is required to find and bring back one of them.

---* These cards will determine your team/rommates for the RP. Each set of matching faces (like all 1s or all Queens) will be from a same team. Therefore, the member limit for an specific team will be 4 characters. Also, no one's two characters can be in the same team! I suggest you all decide who will team with who and what cards you'll claim here, before doing any IC move.

---* As a special treat, there's 1 Fool card as well. The character who get's it will have the right to a secret prize. But, mind that there's a special PM exclusive challenge for that card, so let Windel and I know, if you want to try your luck with it. It's a first come first served thing, but once someone looses the card will teleport to another location to allow someone else to try it.

---* No cards can be claimed on the first round of posts, that is, until you are enable to make a second one and, the Fool will be available from the third round onward, only. Also, you all can leave the city frm the third post onward, I don't want this segment to drag on forever, so I'll place a hard limit of 6 posts. Please add a count at the top of your posts.

Combat

- All fights should be solved within the same post they are initiated, unless it happens to be PvP, that is. In this case make the fight as brief as possible, a collab is highly encouraged and I'll not count it towards the limit, unless someone try to explore the city. In that case, the collab will count towards any who take any action of than combat on it.

- There are three type of NPC that you can elicit to use in your posts;

---* Drone α: Small sphere-like robots with about 1 foot diameter. They can fly and and shoot electric darts set to stun and hit a target with slam attacks. Also they are known for employing swarm tactics. Attributes: Flight and light armor.

---* Drone β: Medium humanoid robots about 5 feet tall, that can make use of various types of FLUX charged weaponry and have advanced combat AI. They generally fight alongside others of their type, or in the lack of that, with the other drones. Attributes: Heavy armor, tactician.

---* Drone γ: Medium canine like robots, about 3 feet long. They are fast and are known for their stealth capabilities and using their sharp fangs and claws as weapons. They are used to hunt alone, but can work in teams if necessary. Attributes: Wall climb, Stealth, medium armor.

---* Drone Δ (Boss Fight): At any time we (Windel and I) can declare this guy's appearance, threatening all nearby, or possibly all, players. It's a gargatuan brute, armored and armed to the teeth. It measures about 15 feet in height and 50 of length. Attributes: Boss.

- You can summon as many drones as yo wish and do of them whatever you wish as long as it's credible for your characters' abilities. Except the boss, of course. Think of this as you being your own Left 4 Dead AI Director. Cool, not?

- BTW, the cards can be hidden in the drones as well. Just mind the other rules for them.

Maya Ramos

Maya Ramos

_{art by honeybuggys on da}
.

"Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark."

Name: Maya Ramos

Title: Ombra

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Age: 18

Height: 6'1

Weight: 170

Personality: Brash and firey, Maya is not one for thinking or patience. She's known to jump into problems headfirst, with little regard for her own safety, or even her own safety. She's somewhat self-centered and rude, and does not care much for the problems of others. However, what she lacks in friendliness and smarts she makes up in loyalty. She's fierce when it comes to her friends, and often has a big sister instinct for those on her team, especially those who are smaller or younger.

Despite her fierce personality, however, Maya is also a person of many fears and paranoia. She's even somewhat distrusting, and it's hard to get into her circle. (However, if you do manage to, expect to be smothered.) She's notably afraid of a lot of things, including most loud noises and many animals and insects. She's not one to necessarily run from her fears, though. When faced with something she's afraid of, her bravado and douchiness increases tenfold, and she usually tries to fist fight her fears.

Short Bio: Born to a higher class family, Maya suffered from extreme agoraphobia and anxiety. Because of this, she was emotionally and socially stunted, and at the age of 8, was sent to a small school in order to get her out of her shell. However, this only made things worse, as the teachers and students were incredibly abusive to the young girl. At one point, a group of bullies locked her in a closet for several hours, before a teacher found her. After this, she went further and further into her shell, and developed an extreme fear of the dark.

Distraught, her parents sent her to live with an aunt in the inner city. Finally, she had found her niche, perhaps a little bit too well. Drunk on freedom, she started to go wild, causing havoc and chaos all over. Unsure of what to do, especially considering the hefty fines she was racking up, they sent he to Akatsuki Academy, in the vain hope to teach her some discipline.

Manifestation: Bombs Away: Maya can create small base-ball sized bombs created of shadow. When thrown, they explode, and leave a toxic goo all over the place. It does not last long in the light, but if left alone too long in the shadow, it can start to grow and become dangerous.

Weapons: She has an aluminum baseball bat, which is pink and purple. If charged with flux, it creates several small spikes of shadow, which shoot out of the bat. They either can be used like nails in the bat, or can be fired out to cause damage.

Equipment: She's somewhat over prepared, and carries around a bag with several items in it. She has a medical kit, a sewing kit, a small gas stove, matches, a fluxlight (geddit? its like a flashlight), and a mini fire extinguisher.

Other: .3.

Gil

"A lotta bang for your buck."

Name:
Gil T. Buckle

Title:
Lightning Cowboy

Gender:
Male

Race:
Human

Age:
18

Height:
6' 0" / 1.82m

Weight:
175lbs / 79.4kg

Personality:
Calm, cool, and collected. Gil is a kind young man with a purpose. He believes he has a duty to uphold and as such is no-nonsense with the determination of a thousand men. Many may try to get on his nerves but that is a feat yet to be seen accomplished as even the harshest of insults bounce off of Gil as if he never even heard them. One could say he's a very tolerant person but that wouldn't be completely true. Just because he doesn't get angry doesn't mean he is particularly accepting of everything. In particular he is quite xenophobic.

If there is one thing that Gil hates the most it would be Youkai. While he is a rational person and isn't prone to acting without thinking even he cannot mask his distaste for the monsters. Even "good" Youkai don't sit well with him. It is not uncommon for him to make witty remarks in general, but on the topic of Youkai there is always an obvious spite in his sharp words. Aside from Youkai, Gil has no real prejudices. He is annoyed by laziness and silliness, like any diligent and hard working individual would be, but many think that his aloof nature means he is also lazy. That is not the case, something that people will learn quickly if they get lazy when working together with Gil. He is a man on a mission and nothing will get in his way.

Short Bio:
Gil is the only son to the esteemed Chaser known as John W. Buckle, or "The Godhand." The former Chaser had gained fame in his youth for his incredible power to slow down time around him, which essentially granted the illusion of super speed and strength. However he had abandoned the YTC cities in hopes of protecting as many people as he could that couldn't afford to live in safety. It was during this journey that he had met the woman who would become Gil's mother and accordingly begins the story of Gil himself.

He grew up on the move. His parents were wanderers that traveled across the world and they didn't slow down just because they had a child. Gil was raised to be determined and bold, and he came to idolize his father as the kind of person that this world needed. Someone who was brave and willing to fight against the monsters rather than defend against them. As the years went on he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps, even developing a Manifestation of his own. He was raised to be a true warrior, a paragon of hope against the Youkai. But as fate would have it his family would be destroyed before they could see their dreams fulfilled.

Gil's parents fell victim to the Youkai in the middle of the night, preying upon the Buckle family in their sleep. By using a strange power to invade their dreams it was able to kill them in the real world by slaying them in their mind. Gil survived the encounter for that night he did not sleep. In the morning he found his parents were unresponsive and had no pulse, but no outward signs of foul play. The tragedy burdened him greatly, but not so much as to keep him from tricking that same Youkai the next night by pretending to be asleep and consequently killing the monster with his father's gigantic handgun. From that day forward he walked alone, seeking to accomplish his and his father's goal to end the horror on humanity that is the Youkai. And to do that he traveled back to what was left of civilization. He needed resources, connections, and an education. The Akatsuki Academy provided all three...

Manifestation:

Electrokinesis

The ability to generate, manipulate, and be empowered by the element of electricity. Gil has a passive immunity to electrical damage, allowing him to store an electrical charge like a human battery. Due to this internal storage and the fact he can manipulate electricity in the air around him this can lead to massive amounts of electrical energy being generated and used. Gil cannot instantaneously create electricity but he can manipulate existing electricity without any delay. If none is present then he must generate his own, which can take from several seconds for a quick attack to hours on end for an absolutely devastating one. Gil can speed up his power generation by drawing electricity from an external source such as a lightning strike or a power generator. He can magnetize himself or other objects, as well as de-magnetize them, but he cannot magnetically manipulate anything. His control and precision with electricity is so great that he can send highly lethal doses of electricity through a living thing without harming it in order to damage a target touching it. While Gil can charge electricity to stimulate his muscles and increase his physical capabilities, pushing himself beyond the limits of normal human beings, his preferred method of combat is launching electrical attacks from his gun in bullet-like or lightning-like fashion.

His accurate range is upwards of a mile and his ranged attacks are far faster than any man-made bullet, making him an excellent sniper. A downside is that, without having a large charge built up prior, Gil can only fire shots once per second, and even then they are relatively weak. Powerful or deadly shots take even longer to charge. When Gil has reached his body's inner storage limit he will achieve a state called "Overload" in which any further electricity he gathers must be contained in the air around him as he has no more space inside his body. By the time he has reached his Overload state he already has generated a frightening amount of energy, but at this point he can no longer have physical contact with anything conductive, including living beings, or they will be automatically electrocuted by the electricity he is maintaining outside his body. It takes Gil approximately thirty minutes of unassisted charging to reach Overload. Once he has reached this state he can only charge for a further thirty minutes before he reaches the limit of his control. Any time spent beyond that is useless as the excess electricity instantly discharges as it is generated, preventing him from amassing any more.

Gil can't maintain a charge indefinitely, either. Unused electricity deteriorates, bleeding off into the atmosphere around him as invisible ions over time. When not actively generating electricity it will lose its charge at the same rate it was created to begin with (not including assisted generation). If he spent thirty minutes charging it would take approximately the same to completely lose the charge (not including active use). However, there is a one minute grace period after a charge where it is maintained naturally but then it will begin to deteriorate once the minute is up. So Gil isn't particularly effective as a battery so much as a generator. When he initially begins charging there is only the smell of ozone as a warning, though after five minutes there will be sparks that flicker intermittently around his body.

Weapons:

Aerok

A large, double-barreled revolver. Weighing over twenty pounds and firing a hefty .60 caliber bullet, this monstrous handgun is more like a hand cannon than anything else. Gil uses both standard full metal jacket rounds and Zetsu bullets, depending on whether he has a "soft" target or a "hard" target. Capable of firing two shots at once, but only capable of holding four rounds in the cylinder at a time. If there are no bullets in the cylinder the gun can be used as a medium for Gil's powers. This allows him to fire electrical bullets or even whole lightning bolts from the gun. Aside from its use as a firearm the sheer sturdiness of it allows it to be safely used for bashing or battering the enemy. So, of course, Gil has a habit of beating his foes with an unloaded Aerok if he feels using his electrokinesis would be overkill.

Equipment:
For the most part Gil doesn't keep much on his person aside from basics such as his wallet and a phone. Certainly nothing special or noteworthy.

Electrifying Battle

Erisa

"I can help too..."

Name:
Erisa

Title:
Snapdragon

Gender:
Female

Race:
Youkai; Poisonous Flower Spirit

Age:
16

Height:
5'3" / 1.60m

Weight:
108lbs / 49kg

Personality:
Though rather quiet and shy, Erisa longs for company and friendship. Her timid nature is counter-intuitive to that end but she truly attempts to overcome this flaw. A difficult task, considering the general hatred that many give her when they discover what she truly is. She fears being cast out and alone, particularly of being alone. It isn't that she worries for her safety so much as the loneliness itself. When Erisa sees people being together and smiling she grows envious.

While she isn't very good at smiling nor does she attempt to very often, Erisa can be light hearted when given the opportunity. Granted her face isn't very expressive and others can have a hard time reading her emotions because of it, but that doesn't mean she can't be happy at times. She likes to pay attention to the personalities of those around her, one of the reasons she likes humans despite many not reciprocating that feeling. One of her goals is to learn to be more expressive and to become more outgoing and aggressive, but she still has a ways to go on all fronts. At least she is confident in her fighting ability.

Short Bio:
Erisa was not conceived out of love, lust, or misfortune. Instead she was born out of necessity. Unlike humans who reproduce to maintain their population, Flower Spirits are beings that are created by nature itself from the spiritual energy of the fauna of the world. Erisa is a special case on several counts. She is the first Flower Spirit to be born in over fifty years and she has a rare set of offensive abilities that embodies the dangerous aspects of plants: poison. Flower Spirits are typically benevolent in nature and their natural abilities reflect that, but while Erisa maintains the common disposition she is most certainly not a harmless "wood fairy".

The world has changed. It has become desolate and harsh. As unforgiving as it has been for mankind it has been just as bad for plantlife. Erisa's creation was a necessary evolution for the natural world. For Flower Spirits to survive among the dark skies and beastly Youkai that claim the land, they will have to defend themselves. Erisa had no name for the longest time. She was alone in a forest, being raised by the flowers and the trees. For they could not speak she had no need for a name. It wasn't until she ventured away from her familiar home, to seek her purpose in this world, did she ever get a name.

Her first encounter with humans was a positive one, something which would greatly affect how she is today. Being so humanoid that it was easy to mistake her as a human she was welcomed by a small village that had believed she was just a little girl. They gave her clothes, a name, and even taught her how to speak. She would stay with an elderly couple in this village for three months before they realized she was a Youkai. By this point they had become accustomed to her and couldn't bear to cast out or even harm the sweet little Erisa. In fact it seemed she was beneficial to the village for her powers could defend them from the more sinister monsters of the night.

Erisa stayed in this village for two years before deciding she had to move on. She had a purpose in life, as unsure of it as she was, and felt naturally compelled to leave. With only her instincts to guide her she eventually made her way to one of the cities run by the YTC. Initially she was refused access, but her curiosity made her enter without permission. She found the humans here much less desirable than the ones she met before, though she was equally enthralled with their behaviors as she was bothered by them. However they were also rather bothered by her. It wasn't a very hospitable place yet Erisa was determined to stay. She couldn't even understand why she felt this way, like she had to go against the grain.

One night, sometime around when she was fifteen years old, it came to her in a dream. She realized what her purpose was. The reason she was born with her unusual powers. It was to reclaim the sky: to clear the clouds and bring back the blue atmosphere. The plants of the world have been slowly dying, between the stress of the new world and the lack of sunshine. Erisa was born as nature's attempt at restoring its original state. A new kind of spirit to bring balance to the chaotic world. Like a bright, desirable flower she had evolved to become poisonous to defend her beauty. With this great revelation bestowed upon her, Erisa steeled herself to become stronger. Her attraction to humans wasn't simply out of curiosity but also an instinctual understanding of their mutual problems. She, too, desired to fight back against the eternal darkness. To that end she decided to fight with humanity and so she joined the Akatsuki Academy to hone her skills and learn more about what humans really are.

Manifestation:

Poisonous Flower Spirit

As a flower spirit one can expect Erisa to be rather in-tune with nature. Inherently she can empathize with plants and "feel" their emotions and needs. Due to the circumstances of her "birth", Erisa is specifically a Poisonous Flower Spirit. She can naturally create various toxins and poisonous plant-life. The toxins she creates in her body can only be afflicted to her enemies by touch, but any plants she makes can extend that range in a way. The only non-contact method she has of poisoning her foes is by creating plants that exude airborne spores. Erisa's poisons are usually non-lethal and target the nervous system, but she can make poisons so powerful that they become corrosive acid that will destroy metal just as easily as flesh.

Twin Dragons

Erisa embodies the power of poisonous plants. Aside from her inherent abilities as a Flower Spirit, she can also create two extra limbs from her back that serve as both an offense and defense. These limbs, made of plant matter, are both significantly larger than Erisa is herself, being able to extend up to 10m at maximum length but typically stay at 3m. Rather than having hands at the end they instead have large jaws. These jaws, referred to as "Dragons", can secrete a corrosive poison that allows them to bite through most metals and all organic material. Likewise they can clamp down on objects to hold them in place or even lift them if they aren't too large. Erisa can use them to get around, such as climbing buildings, but primarily they serve as her close-range method of attack.

The Dragons are incredibly fast and reflexive, hence the nickname "Snapdragon." It takes less than a second for Erisa to manifest these Dragons and they can act independently from what Erisa's arms are doing. Meaning she can use her arms for other things, such as her bow, while the Dragons defend her. While they generally have to bite something to be able to inflict heavy damage with their corrosive poison, the Dragons can also spray the poison they secrete into the air in a mist. The range isn't particularly impressive but it is still a further extension of their effective range. While the Dragons are lightning fast they aren't particularly sturdy, being made of fibrous plant matter. Blunt force does little to them, but sharp blades can slash away at them. Granted Erisa can regenerate them if they are damaged but it is not instantaneous. If their jaws were to be cut off then she would be largely defenseless for a few seconds, aside from her bow.

Weapons:

Apollo Mk III

The FLUX bow depicted in the character appearance. A large and powerful bow that is sturdy enough to be used as a melee weapon if need be and capable of launching physical arrows or Zetsu arrows over a mile away. This stopping power provides high penetration, often putting arrows entirely through a target rather than embedding them in it. Erisa typically uses arrows made of her Zetsu but keeps a few large, steel arrows in a quiver. These arrows are special-made to be drenched in her corrosive poison and not fall apart, to further add destructive value to their victims. The bow is noted to not be particularly stealthy as the sheer power behind it creates a loud "crack-ow" sound whenever an arrow is launched.

This is the third bow given to Erisa by the Akatsuki Academy. The first two were both broken in clashes with Youkai, prompting the Academy to design a sturdier weapon that could handle Erisa's natural strength and handle being used rather roughly in the case of a fight with another supernatural being.

Equipment:
There is usually little more than her clothes, bow, and quiver on Erisa's person. However she often will have a bright-colored flower in her hair at random times. It holds no particular value but it serves as Erisa's attempt at fitting in with humans by being more personable in her looks.

Alright before someone takes it I call shadow clones.

[Spriggs27]

First Double post.

Second my characters.

Gaz

Name: Gaz
Epithet: Gaz, G, zheltyy
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Height: 182.88 cm
Weight: 83 kg

Appearance: Gaz stands at the height of 6'1 and weighs 199 pounds, he has bright Yellow irises, with short snow white hair on his head and with thin matching white eyebrows, he has dark skin and kind of a constant glare on his face, on the side of his mouth he has a small vertical scar, on his left ear he has a small earring in his lobe. Gaz has a lightly muscular build.

Gaz's wardrobe consist of a simple t-shirt with the phrase " Like a boss." on it in capital letters, over his shirt he wears a black leather jacket with a vertical yellow stripe on his sleeves his, with his right sleeve rolled up and the jacket always half zipped-up, on his nose and mouth he wears a yellow colored doctor's mask with a monster mouth design on it, on his legs he wears a pair of worn old jeans with a brown belt around his waist, on his feet he wears a pair of tan boots.

Personality: To put it short for Gaz, well short in a way, he is sarcastic, rude, rebellious and perverted, often disrespecting or mocking people that angers him, most of all he's very cocky, he believes in his own abilities to take down anyone that gets in his way, and when he loses he just claims he found a different move that just doesn't work for him. Gaz is also a misanthrope saying that he apparently hates everyone equally, Gaz is very devious and takes great pleasure in causing mischief towards others just to see people either annoyed or pissed off claiming it's extremely funny and fun.

But oddly enough when Gaz gets serious about something he changes completely, he gets completely serious, logical, and puts all of his focus onto it no matter how much pain and misery it may cause someone. He has a hard time completely trusting someone, but when he does he shows it one way or another. Gaz is very hard to anger, and also at times really easy to make him mad, if someone really wanted to make him truly mad then they would have to take away what he likes and try to kill the people he cares for, if you want to annoy him then just take away his television.

Short Bio: Gaz was born in south east Asia, like many others he was born without an identity and without a name, unlike many others who thought getting an identity from their government was important, Gaz didn't care about getting one from them, he figured making his own identity gave him an odd type of freedom. People didn't know him and police didn't know him, when he saw the way how the people in his area were being treated he figured that he wouldn't get caught since he was a person that had nothing to him, he was a John Doe.

Gaz soon became a vigilante and a drifter, a very dangerous one, he journeyed around defeating who he deemed bad and those he felt he could take on, after kicking enough ass in one spot, he ended up getting both fans, but also people that wanted him dead, but after a couple fights with people that really tried killing him, he figured he needed to get good and actually take some training instead of just going off what he thinks is cool and without any actual skill. Gaz soon found himself disappearing and turning up to Akatsuki academy.

Manifestation: Copy Gatz- Like the name means, Gaz can steal your moves, unless it's weapon based, he can copy your very move if it's energy based or physical. If Gaz has seen your manifestation first hand or has been attacked with it, he'll be able to copy it and hit you back with your own manifestation. In his mind it's his very best troll skill if he can take down an enemy with it.

Weapons: Two metal gloves that ignite when both slam into each other, in the forearm area of the gloves there are bolts that fire out the wrist of the gloves, they can also be ignited and become fire bolts when fired while the gloves are ignited.

What ever else he can get his hands on, even if he needs to take another person's dropped weapon.

Equipment: A simple bigass cellphone, several yellow doctor's mask.
Other:

Eiko XXVII

Name: Eiko XXVII

Epithet: XXVII, Ei-chan, The 27th one, Kobaruto

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Age: 17

Height: 5'7

Weight: 131

Appearance: Eiko stands at the height of 5'7, and weighs around 111 lbs, she has a fair skin tone with dark raven colored hair that nearly reaches her shoulders and with some of her hair hanging in between her eyes, she has sapphire colored eyes that turn red when she gets angered, under her right eye she has a small brand of the roman numerals of the number 27 on her face, she has thin pink lips, with a small nose and thin eyebrows over top of her eyes. Eiko has a thin Ectomorph build with no real muscles, Eiko has thin and somewhat long limbs, she has an average size bust for someone her age.

Eiko wears a white collared pinstriped shirt with cobalt pinstripes and the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, around her neck she wears a cobalt tie, she wears a pair of black pair of dress pants, holding up her pants she wears a pair of black suspenders, on her feet she wears a pair of black dress shoes, on Eiko's hands she wears a pair of black leather gloves with cobalt decals.

Personality: Unlike the original, Eiko XXVII is actually a little more emotional at moments, but she still can be quiet and stoic at times and pretend to not show emotion like the original Eiko. Eiko speaks in a light Japanese accent, and tries to use big English words when she speaks to others, even if she can be completely off or just horrible. XXVII is skilled and a very swift learner but not experienced, she can handle herself in a fight against a group of people, XXVII's abilities best show when she uses a short sword, or in hand to hand combat, and a sub machine guns. When in a fight using only her hands or short sword she relies on speed in the fight.

XXVII mostly favors tactics from comic books, usually using them as training manuals and emulating them not caring for the " Do no try at home " quote in the book, she usually does what she know she can do, she knows her limits when trying new moves. XXVII has a heroic sense of justice unlike the person she was cloned from who has a more neutral sense of justice, XXVII feels she should be heroic and often says." I am Hero in these parts." showing that she really cares about being a hero.

When it comes down to thinking about herself XXVII thinks of her self as a second rate human being, she knows of her origins and that shes not her own person and when she thinks too much about herself she questions if the choices she makes are her own, or just her genes making the choices for her. Like many people Eiko's age she loves certain trending things, Manga, Anime, and video games, but just because she likes things that can become trendy she doesn't blindly follow them like other people do.


Short Bio: Eiko XXVII is one of many clones created by a being or person named Prometheus, they made several dozens of clones as if they were making a bakery but with clones, and training them, but for what XXVII doesn't remember what they were being trained for exactly, but whatever it was it was gonna be big since the number of clones were almost in the hundreds. But back to XXVII, when she became 10 she started her training, and unlike the other clones she wasn't as good, when she needed to be fast she was too slow, when she needed to be strong she was too weak, everything she did wasn't good enough.

Every thing XXVII did was seen as average or below average, and after failing several test Prometheus began making plans on culling her, and the other clones even began making fun of her somewhat; when XXVII learned of it she decided to escape the cloning facility. She didn't know that the facility was in the mountains and extremely high up, but she managed to find hikers that helped her get to a nearby town, after her escape someone was sent to retrieve her and bring her back, and on a cold winter night the hunter that was tracking her down caught up with her at a bus station.

Feeling like her life was endangered, XXVII fought against the over equipped hunter, dodging and countering next to all of his gadgets, swords, and lastly breaking his bo-staff. But in the end she was still taken down with a tranquilizer gun and take back to the facility, when she arrived with the hunter she oddly wasn't culled or put in a brig. She was forced to go back into training in the second year training class, the twenties series.

After five years of the training and showing that she was best in her class, she ended up being the seventh best of the twenties series, when she asked for reason why it was because she tried to escape years ago. Soon their branding came where they would be forever marked by their skills in their class by a hot branding needle, Eiko was giving the roman numerals of the number 27 under her right eye unlike others who chose the traditional Japanese characters for their numbers.

After their branding Prometheus allowed the clones to choose if they wanted to stay with the facility and work for Prometheus, or see the world, half of Eiko's class chose to stay while the other half decided to journey the world and find their purpose on the planet, XXVII left the facility and when she got a second taste of the outside air she decided to prove to Prometheus and her clone sisters that she was the best even if she started out as one of the weakest, to take more training she soon enrolled into Akatsuki Acdemy, but before she even dared to step onto the academy steps she defeated every single one of the clones in her class and one in the first class.

Manifestation: Light reinforcements- Eiko creates three shadowy clones of herself, three being the maximum she makes without needing to concentrate, if she makes more than three she would need to focus on each of them to keep them in reality. The shadow clones are mostly used for decoys and can be easily taken out with light attacks such as punches or kicks, Eiko can use her shadow clones in sense of utility, such as just jumping off them or as a bridge if needed, they all take on a dark form of her looking like a 3d version of a shadow.

@j8cob

Both of your characters are good in pretty much everything (*note to self: create a Freddy-based Youkai*), except one part, powers. Your second character (Erisa) is ok (lower the range of her shots a bit, though), but the first one is way too strong in my opinion. Here are some points of concern:

- The amount of power he can "generate" is too big, I can't simply have a beginner character that has a power that is unlimited, even if it requires some time to charge. You can make it a quicker charge but lower it to a reasonable quantity of power a lightning's worth of power is already strong enough IMO.

- The fact that he can charge power without any visible signs is way too OP and, senseless as well. At the very least he should have one of these classic electricity user side-effects (sparks flying around him, a distinctive electric buzz, or ozone smell), naturally the size of the charge influences on the scale of the side-effects, so he can charge up to a certain portion of his power w/o looking like it, but when the power reaches a certain point (say, around a power line level) there should be an indication of what's going on, otherwise it's too strong for my tastes.

Sorry for the double post, but I'm on my phone and the stupid thing sometimes seems to have it's own will.

@Spriggs27

Your characters are ok, on my end.

---

Also, everyone, I should say, as is my tradition that any characters reviewed by me are still subject to @TheWindel's revision as well. You can post them, but obey whatever he says about what you should do. The contrary is valid, of course as well, if Windel reviews a CS while I'm not here, you can post it, but mind whatever I say later, if I do.

[Spriggs27]

@KoL Surprised you didn't say Gaz's power was Oped since he could copy anyone's manifestations unless they were weapon based.
