Bio
I'm a hooman in the latter half of their twenties. Roleplaying is a thing that I've been doing as a hobby on and off for a while now. It keeps my mind occupied. Some some about idle hands, ya know.
Below's my IC that I try to keep as updated as possible. Interest Check
MeiLan let the wandering hand pull the zipper on her jacket down a few inches before deftly pulling it away with a coy smile. “Ah ah, Ken-san,” she tutted at the man trying to undress her. “Why don’t we get another round for the ladies? Look half of our drinks are empty. That’s no way to party~” Mei nodded to the group of women in one of the VIP booths who had gathered around one of the big spenders at the bar tonight. It was one of the rare nights that she found herself bored and with nothing to do. So, rather than waste the night away, she had plopped herself in one of the booths with the goal to milk as many drinks from one of the bar’s patrons as she could.
Ken, who at this point had had enough drinks in him to be easily distracted, smiled back at MeiLan. “Of course, Deiyu. How rude of me.” He turned to one of his friend, who was currently chatting up one of the other girls at the bar and ordered him to get another round of drinks. As soon as the friend was gone though, Ken turned his attention back to MeiLan, attempting to unzip her jacket once again. Rolling her eyes internally, MeiLan decided to let him continue his advances, knowing that he would only be disappointed in finding a black turtle neck underneath. She was proven correct when Ken frowned at the sight of the turtleneck, asking, “Aren’t you warm in this little thing?”
MeiLan simply shrugged. She was used to people asking how she dressed especially at the bar where people tended to show off more skin than not. Luckily, she was saved from responding as Tsukiyama decided to show off her mixing abilities to the bar. Though she had to admit they were quite impressive, MeiLan had seen Tsuki’s tricks enough to not be completely mesmerized by them. Instead, she decided she had enough of Ken for the night and used the distraction to take her leave.
Just as she was about to exit the bar, MeiLan spotted the familiar colors of the Forgotten. She raised her eyebrow at the group, wondering how they had the nerve to step into the bar again. Despite knowing that Tsukiyama would handle it, Mei sat herself down at the bar again just in case. Ordering a drink, she turned to watch the fools as they futilely attempted to demand whatever bullshit their boss wanted from the One-Eye’d Wolf.
Shaking her head as the fight concluded, MeiLan finished her drink before heading downstairs. It was about time for the meeting anyways.
Appearance: Though her style is what most would consider modest, comfy, and practical, underneath those layers of clothes is a rather pale, tall, busty woman with ink black hair. Due to her ability, Mei tends to wear a cybernetic mask that changes the appearance of her face ever so slightly. She only takes it off when she’s with trusted company or purposefully using her powers. If the occasion rises where Mei has to show off more of her body, one can find a long beautiful tattoo of a phoenix starting from her neck and going all the way down to her back.
Mutation Marker(s): Under the neon lights they might pass as blue, but Meilan’s first mutation marker are her light purple eyes. Her second mutation marker are a pair of long, black, feathery moth-like antennae on her head that are usually pulled back against her hair.
Personality: Mei’s general demeanor is to be rather laid back and care-free. If she’s not being bothered, she will not bother you. Due to her unbringing, she has strong opinions on the rules and traditions (read: she despises them). Her rebellious nature has made her quite stubborn and she is never afraid to speak her mind. Mei also has a tendency to mother those younger than her, leftover from not being able to nurture her own child. Despite her outward countenance though, she has a lot of anxiety over if people actually like her for who she is or if they only like her due to her abilities.
Aspirations: -Giving a big middle finger to the system -Enjoy life how she wants to
Fears: -Getting close to people -Having no real friends -Her past catching up to her
Vehicle: Kawasaki Ninja XXX – A sleek design of the good ole classic. Mei’s not a motorhead and simply needs a decent enough bike to get around.
P O W E R / C Y B E R N E T I C S I N F O R M A T I O N
Strengths/Natural Abilities:
Given enough time, Mei can sweet talk and charm herself in and out of any situation.
From time to time, Mei will advertise herself as an information broker. In the digital age, everyone takes care to make sure their digital profile is unhackable. That’s not a problem for Mei who likes to gather information the ‘old fashioned’ way. Anyone will loosen their tongue after looking at a pretty face and a few drinks.
Sword go slash slash.
Weaknesses/Flaws: -Mei can be quite selfish. Up until recently she’s had to fight for what she’s wanted or been on her own. If there’s no benefit for her, it’s going to take some convincing to get her to do anything. -When memories start to overwhelm her, one can find Mei at the end of a bottle. There can be weeks where’s she’s more intoxicated than not, especially if it’s around a certain anniversary.
Y.S.G Abilities: Bakamono’s Beauty -As long as someone is looking at her face, Meilan has the ability to persuade people to do what she wants. Maintaining eye contact will also strengthen her powers. Requests that are already within someone’s morals and ethics, will be granted immediately while things that are not will take more convincing. If the request is totally out of someone’s conviction, it will not happen and can break said person out of her spell.
Obake’s Perfume -For a short amount of time, Meilan can release pheromones that can control anyone who smells it within a 3ft radius. The strength of her command over the people in the radius is proportional to how many people are in it. The more people, the less power she has over an individual. Her pheromone is harder to resist than her gaze. Once the effect wears off on someone, a haze is put over the person’s memory, though they can recover it if they have enough mental fortitude or if seeing Mei jars their memory. This power is quite taxing on Mei and she tries to avoid using it if she can. Also, her power on someone weakens the more times they’ve been under her influence.
Soul Binder/Weapon(s): Mudan (Tanto) – Mei’s soulbinder is a small unassuming tanto with a light lavender hilt. When drawn the blade has a purple glow to it. Mei quite enjoys how often people mistake her other swords as her soul binder. She typically keeps this one tucked away underneath her many layers of clothing.
Juhua (Katana) and Ren (Wakizashi) – While other favor newer tech, Mei gets around simply with her two swords. Juhua is a long katana with a pale pink hilt while Ren is a shorter wakizashi with a baby blue hilt. If one looks closely enough, the sheaths have been painted over multiple times to cover up what seems to be a very traditional design of a certain well known family. Though they look like customary blades, both swords are forged from the best alloy money can buy on the market.
Cybernetics/Gadets/Accessories:
InCogTM Mask – Mei will almost always be found wearing a mask on her face to change her facial features slightly so not everyone that meets her is affected by her abilities. Depending on the day, she will change up anything from her eye shape, cheekbones, lip size, etc.

Mei was born into a branch house of a powerful family in Neo-Tokyo. Her life was already setup for her once they knew she was a Y.G holder. This caused her to rebel at a very young age as she hated that she had no say in what she could do. Mei did everything and anything she could to piss her parents off. When she was 16, Mei met Genji while on a bender in Narazaki and fell in love. Genji weaved her tales of a better life if she ran away from her family. Naively, Mei agreed. Leaving her predefined life with nothing but a backpack, the two lovebirds ran away to Sakanoshita. Although life was hard on their own and they struggled to make ends meet, Mei enjoyed it a lot more than living in her strict with her parents. She was even happier when she found out she was pregnant 3 years later.
For a time, things seemed to be working out for Mei and her small family. Both her and Genji found steady jobs and were able to provide for their daughter. However, after coming home one day from work, she found her entire neighborhood decimated by a rank 2 outbreak. Mei rushed over to her house, only to find the bodies of her husband and their daughter. Devastated, the event caused her to awaken, though she was in too much shock to realise. For weeks, Mei wandered the slums aimlessly. One day she, quite literally, ran into Tsukiyama, who took pity on her and gave her a new lease on life.

H i s t o r y
Mei was born into a branch house of a powerful family in Neo-Tokyo. Her life was already setup for her once they knew she was a Y.G holder. This caused her to rebel at a very young age as she hated that she had no say in what she could do. Mei did everything and anything she could to piss her parents off. When she was 16, Mei met Genji while on a bender in Narazaki and fell in love. Genji weaved her tales of a better life if she ran away from her family. Naively, Mei agreed. Leaving her predefined life with nothing but a backpack, the two lovebirds ran away to Sakanoshita. Although life was hard on their own and they struggled to make ends meet, Mei enjoyed it a lot more than living in her strict with her parents. She was even happier when she found out she was pregnant 3 years later.
For a time, things seemed to be working out for Mei and her small family. Both her and Genji found steady jobs and were able to provide for their daughter. However, after coming home one day from work, she found her entire neighborhood decimated by a rank 2 outbreak. Mei rushed over to her house, only to find the bodies of her husband and their daughter. Devastated, the event caused her to awaken, though she was in too much shock to realise. For weeks, Mei wandered the slums aimlessly. One day she, quite literally, ran into Tsukiyama, who took pity on her and gave her a new lease on life.
Mai gasped as the creature holding her made itself known. She held her breath as its rancid exhalation washed over her and squeaked quite unprofessionally when its slobber drizzled down on her. The DHA definitely did not pay her enough for this. Her panic only got worst as the row of teeth revealed itself to be a lizard-esque youkai though she crushed the thought of potentially getting eaten by a demon down as best as she could.
Not caring to identify the demon right now, Mai used its divided attention to her advantage. Wiggling her arm around, Mai grabbed the short sword she normally carried as a backup. Unsheathing it, she stabbed the creature’s hand that was holding her, deep enough so its grip would loosen. Once it let her go, Mai dropped back down to the ground, punching and slicing the puppets that had been attacking her in her bound state.
Free from her captor, Mai quickly analyzed her situation. While she wanted to go after the girl collecting those mysterious black rocks, she doubted she could get passed the puppets, who were now rushing towards her again, or the still invisible lizard youkai. Cursing, Mai ran back to pick up her sword where it had fallen when she had been picked up by the imori. She easily cut through more puppets before throwing out some explosive charms where she thought the lizard demon stood; she hated dealing with youkai that could camouflage. Maybe if she pissed it off enough, it would reveal itself so she could kill it. Mai was certainly no priestess so she wasn’t obligated to reseal this youkai that escaped.
Mai wondered if the girl was a curious bystander or a devil. Her fashion choice was quite odd, eyepatch and all, but then again Mai couldn’t say much considering she looked like she just walked off of a samurai movie set and Maria looked like a strung-up groupie. Regardless, Mai approached the woman anyways. If she was an innocent, the hunter would help her to a safe location away from the infected humans and their dominatrix leader. If she wasn’t, then Mai would treat her like she treated all devils.
Unfortunately, the civilian fled before she could even come close. “Hey! Wait!” the hunter cried out. However, when she tried chasing after the eyepatched woman, Mai found herself trapped by an invisible force. Any attempt she made to get out of the invisible grip was fruitless; if anything, it felt as though the grip on her increased the more she struggled. Mai looked around to see if a new youkai had appeared when she wasn’t looking. When she didn’t see anyone new, the panic in her began to build. As a hunter, Mai’s weapon of choice was a sword. However, it was no help when she did not have anything to attack and since she wasn’t expecting something like this, Mai hadn’t brought anything to negate the oppressive presence. Even if she did, the hunter couldn’t reach her bag at the moment.
Doing her best to think critically whilst she was bound up, Mai surmised this wasn’t the work of the giant devil who seemed to be currently occupied with creating a wall of blood to stop Maria. And considering they haven’t shown any signs they had any unique powers, she doubted it was the infected humans either. So what else could it be? Then the hunter remembered the shed snakeskin scattered around the shrine and cursed. Since it had not been an immediate problem, Mai had ignored them. Now she wondered if whatever had left its epidermis around the shrine was finally making its presence known.
Mai nodded in welcome at Hoshio. She knew not everyone tended to carry charms around as they weren’t the most reliable, but she always had them on her just in case. Better safe the sorry in her eyes. When the bell only run once though, she frowned. Clearly something was amiss considering there were signs of more than one youkai around. However, she didn’t dwell on it for too long. There was enough to deal with in front of her. Any other youkai could wait their turn.
Following her leader closely, Mai unsheathed her sword and covered Hoshio’s blind spots. “Don’t burn up the seals either!” she added to his advice to Maria. The last thing they needed was to awaken whatever was sealed at this shrine in the first place.
At first, Mai was a little hesitant to attack the infected people. What if there was a way to save them? But when she saw how easily Maria was knocking them around, she thought something was odd. Like her fellow hunter, she also wondered where all these beings came from. As Mai was contemplating what was going on, one of the infected grabbed her from behind. Instinctively, she swung around and proceeded to cut their hand off. Feeling her sword hum like it always did when she killed a youkai gave Mai more confidence that whatever they were fighting wasn’t as human as they looked. She started to attack the zombies with more fervor, keeping an eye to see if Maria needed help as the girl seemed to be deadset on charging at the leader of this chaos.
After cutting down a few more infected, Mai noticed movement out of the corner of her eye. Since she didn’t immediately recognize it as one of her teammates, she turned in that direction to see the Envoy doppelganger collecting the black rocks. “Oi,” she called out. “What do you think you’re doing!?”
Mai woke up decently rested the next morning. She was glad that she was able to escape her new teammate even if it just was for the night. It seemed like the younger hunter had decided to latch on to her for whatever reason and Mai was too polite to tell her to kindly fuck off. Plus, they were supposed to work together so it wouldn’t help the team at all if she was to sew discourse into it. God knows it was already going to be a handful trying to control Maria who completely brushed off Hoshio’s admonishments by pretending to not understand him.
She let out a sigh as she finished tying up her hair. Mai prayed that today would be better. Hopefully there would be less destruction since they were at a temple and the two troublemakers were separated onto different teams. As she was about to head out, Mai received the text from her team leader. ‘K. Be there in 15. - Mai’ she responded.
Once she got to the base, Mai ordered a small meal before joining Hoshio at the table. She nodded along as he explained the plan to everyone, impressed by his skills. The Kikuchis were a well known hunter family at the Japanese branch but Mai had yet to meet Hoshio. From what she could tell, he was a lot less fanatical about the job than the other Kikuchis she’s ran into before. There were a few times where she asked questions to clarify their situation, but overall she thought he had a solid plan considering how little information they had going into this.
“No but I did pick up a few charms that are able to sense demonic energy.” She pulled out a few bracelets with a single bell on them from her satchel and handed them to her teammates. “It’ll ring more frequently the more demonic energy it senses.” The charms themselves weren’t foolproof. Mai had been in encounters where stronger youkai had been able to either hide their energy or delude the charm, but it was a good safety measure nonetheless. Shaking her head to show that she didn’t have any questions, Mai grabbed her weapons from the car and secured them to her hip.
Mai rolled her eyes at Maria’s attempt to keep her involved when she clearly was not interested and slipped out of her arms. The foreign hunter could get a tour from one of their greeters; the DHA was not paying her enough to play tour guide. As soon as they were done with the pleasantries, she was going home. There was a bottle of sake calling her name after a night like tonight.
When Hoshio came over, Mai tried hiding her smile behind her teacup whilst he admonished Maria for her performance at their previous mission. Someone needed to call her out for her actions, especially if they had another mission so soon. They definitely did not need to catch a shrine on fire because they were not careful. “No. No. I think you’re better suited to deal with her than me,” she teased back, glancing over at Maria as she continued to listen to Mako’s announcement.
Before she could even respond to Hoshio, Mai found herself getting dragged out of the meeting room. She once again, slipped out of Maria’s grip before turning to the girl and glaring at her. “Bedrooms are that way.” She curtly addressed the hunter for the first time since they’ve met while pointing down one of the building’s many corridors. “I suggest you get some sleep before tomorrow morning. Good night.” Some might have called it running away, but Mai liked to think she was tactfully retreating from the South American hunter. After all, she too needed her rest before dealing with their new mission for tomorrow. Who knows what they were going to find. Mai had a feeling that whatever happened at the warehouse was only the start of something big.
After listening to Mako’s explanation for the meeting, Mai went over to grab herself a cup of tea. She would normally enjoy a cup after dinner, but that was rudely interrupted by two unsuspecting guests. Well, she could at least relax a bit before the meeting started. As she waited for the Headhunter, Mai wondered who was going to be put on teams together. She hoped she didn’t have to work with that annoying girl at dinner or the one who decided to set the warehouse on fire. Rambunctious people tended to make the worst teammates.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, the meeting did start rather quickly. Mai rolled her eyes at Shindou’s crappy explanation as to why there wasn’t any coordination last night. If anything, there should have been more planning considering that they knew foreign hunters would be present tonight. At least the mission was successful, and hopefully, the staff could figure out what the black rocks were.
When it was announced that Mai would be working with Maria, she did her best to hold in a sigh. Working with Hoshio and Mizuki would be fine, despite the latter being a devil feeder; she’s never been a fan of those hunters. However, she wasn’t keen on working with Maria. The little interaction she’s had with the hunter done nothing but left her feeling annoyed. As if summoned by her thoughts, the woman apparated next to her, speaking rather loudly. Gosh, did this girl have a volume dial somewhere? Or a mute button?
Looking around for her other fellow teammates, Mai saw Hoshio not too far away and beckoned him over. “I think as team leader, Hoshio would love to show you around. Right, Hoshio?” she innocently inquired, trying her best to off-load Maria onto him.
