Well, I'm here under
@Brithwyr's recommendation to ignore my previous statement. So, here's a character, for you:
Name: Itsuko Mariann Kanzaki
Nickname: The Rampaging Tiger
Age: 16
School Year: First
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Height: 152 cm | Weight: 44 kg
Nationality: Japanese/American
Personality: If one word could sum the entirety of one being, all their emotions, experiences, qualities and, well... defects, Itsuko's would be confidence. Simply put, the Rampaging Tiger lives on ego and to break her in a most daunting task. It doesn't mind what happens, Itsuko will always have a smile that practically spells "I'm the best, try me if you wanna your ass kicked" in her face.
Break her, burn her, shock her, it doesn't matter, Itsuko's ego will never be broken, the only thing you'll get is an even more defiant tiger gnawing at your heels if she has to. In a sense no one can win against her, because defeat only happens once one of the parties is convinced of their loss and this, Itsuko never will be. The eye of the tiger, the spirit of forging onward even once one knows they are at a disadvantage so unfair that there's not even the possibility of chance playing a factor at the situation's outcome will always burn within the Rampaging Tiger's heart.
Fool however is the one who thinks that Itsuko's confidence comes from blind idiocy alone. The Rampaging Tiger is a genius in mind, body and skill, as someone who had nothing better to do, becoming strong was Itsuko's only goal, which she achieved despite all impediments. Despite not going over and above the boundaries of normal mankind, Itsuko is a target and a threat too be recognized by any and all, if not for her athletic and combat skills, or her innate cleverness, at the very least because she has a tendency to make those she fights so mad that they even forget what they are doing ad only focus on killing the tiger by any means necessary, which is when Itsuko's skill shine, for a target that has been psychologically imbalanced is child's play to her.
Bio: The Rampaging Tiger's story is long, complex and full of conflicting points, no one can for sure point the time when Itsuko came to be, or for how long she has been on the field, the only thing that her enemies know is that the Rampaging Tiger is always there, prowling, watching and slaying with the ferocity of a primal beast and the grace of the most refined warrior poets.
Or so, Itsuko wishes you to believe.
In truth, Itsuko was born in the tropical paradise otherwise known as Okinawa, daughter to an American commander of the Okinawa military base and the heiress of the Kanzaki Corporation, a zaibatsu/Yakuza clan going back to the days of the Meiji Restoration. With such high profile parents it's no surprise Itsuko ended up growing alone, not that she ever felt it, as her parents did the best to not be mere shadows on their daughter's life and her brother Shuujinko (or Shuu-nii, as she likes to call him) was Itsuko's role model, which is no good when you consider that Shuu is an unrepentant playboy with an ego as big as the moon, despite legitimately being good at what he does (no matter whatever that is).
Once she grew old enough, Itsuko developed a passion for action comics and manga, superhero series, tokusatsu shows and pro-wrestling, al those things a pint-sized girl shouldn't like and began training and learning techniques and stunts with the sole objective of being one who upholds justice. Ally of justice, a HERO, that's what Itsuko wants to call herself, thus she chose the Tiger as a symbol, for the Tiger on Chinese mythology is the only animal that can stand besides the Dragon, lord of all things, but a being of the Sky and a higher existence while Itsuko wants to be a hero of the Earth and this very world. Tiger was the natural and only choice, the fact that yellow, gold, orange and black are Itsuko's favorite colors help a lot in this choice, obviously.
Then, why join an assassin school if you want to be the antithesis of them, you ask? the answer is rather simple. To slay the beast from within, better summed by the immortal words of Sun-Tzu's The Art of War:
Know your enemy and know yourself, you needn't fear the outcome of a hundred battles.
Know yourself but not your enemy, and you'll find victory and loss at equal amounts.
Know neither the enemy nor yourself, defeat is the only thing waiting for you on the battlefield.
Weapon: The Black Widow: An indeterminate length of carbon nanotube mesh wire, stronger and sharper than any other man made substance, Itsuko keeps it on her at all times (usually inside her gauntlets, or under her clothes) and can do a near infinite number of tricks with them.
Tiger Arms: A set of CQC equipment mainly to protect Itsuko against her own strength when fighting targets in melee. It consists of a pair of matched gauntlets, knee-high boots and protectors to elbows and knees. 'cause no one likes to punch someone and break their hand because they are too strong for their own good.
Equipment: Cellphone (w/ headphones), unlimited credit card, a mysterious yuri manga that she always has with her (whose pages are made of reinforced kevlar and the covers are ceramic plating, making it very bullet proof) and a never ending supply of melon flavored things, from bubblegum to health care products.
Skills: Expert martial artist, knowing a variety of moves from various styles, but not mastering any particular one.
Athletic fitness, being above average in pretty much any sports competition, though Itsuko has a penchant for swimming in particular.
Smart and clever, Itsuko's usual attitude betrays her cleverness, and the fact that she's ranked high on academics subjects suggests that she's fast to learn, being this, Itsuko's best trait. Such cleverness also manifests in the way she fights, being a counter-hitter by nature, with a tendency to draw her foes in traps even if she needs to take a hit or two to place them right where she wants to ends the fight in ONE PUNCH!
Being generally awesome.
Talents: Ha... haha... hahahahahaha! Itsuko doesn't needs talents, talents need Itsuko.
