Birdy

Throwing her head back, Birdy thrust her arms out and cocked her hip. ''Ah Ah ah, the taste so sweet, like sugar on my lips, ah ah ah'' aura drummed along her vocal cords powering her voice so that the crowd could hear her even without a microphone. She'd worked hard to develop a reputation as the world's most powerful singer. Rotating her arms around, she circled her hips and again sang out ''Your kisses, those sweet little thing, make me wanna call myself Misses. Marriage in the cards, babies in my arms, oh a future a future for us!'' She'd spent years training her voice to be a warrior, and now she's singing a ridiculous song about making babies. She didn't know why she did this anymore.

As she took a breath for the next line of the song, sudden screaming and applause caught her notice, and she was reminded why she did it. The adoration of the crowd, the love of her fans, the adrenaline from demanding people, oh how alive she felt, even if she did feel ridiculous at times.

Finishing up the routine, Birdy was exhausted. The middle of her tour, fourth set in a week, she needed a break. Kissing her palms she threw her arms out again, shouting to the crowd "MAN, I love you guys, I wouldn't be doing this without you! All my love, and I'll see you guys at the next performance right?" bowing, she trotted off stage, heading to her dressing room, already undoing the buttons on the side of the leotard she was wearing. The red sequins glinting brightly, despite the dim lighting in the backstage area. Coming around unfinished walls, she stepped into the alcove set aside for her dressing area.

Pulling the curtain closed, she tugged the wig off her head and began scrubbing the makeup off of her face. Looking into the mirror she finally saw her familiar face, no longer the glamorous singer, she was just plain old Birdy again. Pulling on a hoodie over her sports bra and some leggings she grabbed her xpod 3 tugged her headphones on and was ready to head home.

Suddenly her curtain was pulled away, a flustered stage manager looking in, clipboard clutched tightly to plump breasts. "Who are you? And where's Birdy at? The crowd wants an encore and we'll have a rampage if she disappears again!"

Birdy felt like laughing, why is it they always assume she's not Birdy? It's just a wig and a little make up. Shrugging, Birdy informed her "I don't know where she went. I snuck in here to get an autograph. But I haven't been able to find Birdy since I got back here. If you see her, tell her I said hi" Rounding her, Birdy began moving quickly for the exit, ready to take off if the woman had enough braincells left to figure out who she was.

Jerking the door open, nighttime air brushed her face. Birdy sighed, it was time to go "home" and get some rest. Clutching her hoodie tighter, she jogged out into the night, music blurring out the nighttime sounds.

HXH: Those Who Are Hunted. (A small group)

Name: Gianna "Birdy" Insense
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Occupation: Musician

Personality Birdy is an excitable high spirited person, with a loud laugh and a lovely voice. She tends to rock a smile, however she is emotional and tends to switch between happy and angry quickly and with little warning. After a life of struggle from growing up in Meteor City, between the Mafia's expectations and not having an identity recognized by the people she fought for a place among the stars. Throwing away her position with the Mafia's Shadow Beasts, she found an inner strength and confidence she didn't know she had. When she entered the world of stardom, she took to it in ways she never would have expected. While the Organization left its marks on her, and she'll enter a state of emotionless-seeming apathy at times, especially in battle, she tends to hold the important people close.

Appearance: Birdy is 5' 6" tall, and weighs 154 lbs. She is of average appearance though when on stage she rocks make up to look more "glamorous" and "star-like" as a way of hiding from the Mafia. Most of the time Birdy has an expression of happiness. Birdy tends to wear comfortable clothing outside of her concerts, while she rocks a more refined or "out there" appearance on stage, depending on what the performance is about. Hoodies, jeans, and graphic t-shirts are common, though sweaters or cardigans also make an appearance as well. For the most part, her body is blemish free, though she has a major burn scar across her back from a glancing blow using nen when she was younger.

Backstory: Growing up in Meteor City wasn't the worse place despite it being a literal dump. Birdy had access to people who'd kill for her, even if they'd kill her as well. She had elected to go to the mafia at 14 and was given access to training from them when she was 16. While she was being trained in Ten at 17 years old she was hit an accidental glancing blow across the back from getting to close to a sparring match between nen-users which forcefully opened her remaining aura nodes. While she had been nearly killed, she survived with minor wounds considering. Her back was not permanently handicapped, though it will forever be scarred, and certain types of stretching are outside of her ability. Seeing a young woman have her nen awakened at such a young age excited the Mafia leaders as they thought they could train the perfect bodyguard for them. Thus, her advanced training began.

In the beginning of her training, Birdy's natural personality caused her to have several screaming matches with her trainers, and as her strength in nen grew, these matches began to become even more dangerous. After some time, the mafia conferred and decided that her abilities could be recognized as the beginnings of an attack. Hiring a vocal coach they began to train Birdy, then Banshee, on how to direct and control this ability. Teaching her how to use it in stronger ways by reinforcing her lungs and vocal cords to reach inhumanly high or low pitches, or the sound waves themselves to be stronger or faster alternatively at times. After some time, she began growing her repertoire of skills grow, and she rose through the ranks of nen users until she reached the Shadow Beasts.

Among the Shadow Beasts Birdy felt even more trapped than ever before. She was a young woman, living the life of the powerful, but the murders and lies began to eat at her. While she wasn't "down in the dumps" over these things, she believed there was more to life than following the direction of old men who didn't care about her. Between the two, she began plotting ways to leave the Organization. After some time she escaped into the waiting arms of a recording label. With her nen abilities at hand she was capable of quickly attaining fame through her voice and is now a fairly major voice among labels. Her lack of scandals and public appearances are her only defense against drawing the attention of the Mafia into looking deeper into who she is.

On a side note, at this time Birdy is NOT a licensed hunter.

Natural Abilities: Flexible through her body through years of training, except for her back which is not. Stronger than her slender figure would lead you to believe, especially when using Ryu. Martial Arts training gives her some advantage over various enemies. She is also an extremely powerful singer, naturally talented with years of vocal training to back it up.
Aura Type: Enhancer

Nen Ability: Most commonly Birdy will enhance her voice in various ways to instigate specific effects. Either striking an extremely high pitch to damage the hearing and balance of an enemy, to raising it to super-human volumes capable of destroying the brain itself if she is close enough. However she can also enhance the sounds from striking an opponent as well, causing extreme internal damage should she land a strike while using this attack, however this attack does take intense focus and she is easier to attack back at. At times she will clap her hands or snap her fingers which causes a sonic boom around her, a form of AoE attack that will knock back opponents, even killing weaker ones. Finally, from her training as a bodyguard she can increase her own hearing, being able to hear foot-steps from a distance of 500 meters and tell the difference between them, or voices clearly from the same distance. However, this skill is tempered by the concentration it takes. She is completely open at these times and cannot easily attack from this position as she can die if someone were to yell really nearby. She is not trained in En at this time, this is the closest she can get to it.

• Spirit - 2/5
• Skill - 4/5
• Strength -3/5
• Talent - 2/5(Except in singing where she'd be either a 4 or 5)
• Nen - 3/5
• Intelligence - 3/5

Oh crap......@NymeriaSo I read your CS yesterday and was like, awesome, accepted....but forgot to actually....you know. Tell you. So your CS is accepted, go ahead and add it to the CHAR tab

HXH: Those Who Are Hunted. (A small group)

@Renny I edited my post. Tell me if this works. And to clarify her baptism, the idea is she had opened some but not all of her aura nodes which is what prevented worse injury. Does this work better in your eyes? Also, aged her up a few years to try and make her being trained make at least some extra sense. Otherwise she's gonna go be a Zoldyck butler who runs away from home cause they're batshit insane.

Maybe I'll just copy paste that post and put it under strengths? Or description? Since it's understandable and I don't want anyone to misunderstand the cannibalism in the future. Would that work?

<Snipped quote by OneStoryToMany>

That makes sense. Maybe consider adding this to their description?

@Raylah

I thought it was. I just may not have been clear enough. (I'll be honest, it seems to be a problem with me, giving vague information and thinking that's enough to figure out what my head was saying. People keep pointing it out to me and I just can't seem to change :p)

Rebellion is Our Calling, and why we rise!(closed)

@spencerishere I was actually very surprised that so many people decided to play for the "bad guy" rather than for the rebels.

@OneStoryToMany I have a small question, I just noticed that the description of the Ouroboros states "Mystic cannibalistic wizards", what exactly is one supposed to imagine under the "cannibalistic" part? :)

@Raylah

@Raylahthey eat flesh and steal their victims magic that way

@Sailorsadie

Not just their magic. They could steal skills, languages, knowledge, experience, blah blah blah. Depending on the symbology used (for instance the eyes could be symbolically linked to a person's perspective ) you could steal whatever is symbolized. However, once an individual does that in their brain it's linked like that. So they'd permanently think (eyes = perspective) in this case. So they don't always target a person's magic necessarily.
