Sathanas Rex — Roleplayer Guild

Fear not, I write in third person. I wanted to convey her nature in the most effective way possible, and first person is the preferred way of conveying something directly, after all.

And that is not a coincidence at all, I thought I wasn't very subtle about it -- I do want her to be the daughter of the great samurai. My reasoning for this is, said samurai brings the owners of the legendary swords together at the shogun's palace, where Akane is also found. She decides to tag along with the team. If this is not permissible, a surname change is easy. As for what she'd be doing, probably being annoying to everyone else. She doesn't like court life, and Oni are fascinating, what better excuse to leave for a while?

here we go!

Name: Akane Miyoshi

Age: 19

Sex: Female, can't you tell?

Occupation: I'm a researcher! Brother says it's not a proper job for a lady of my standing, but Brother has a stick up his ass. Of course, he's right when he says science doesn't pay, but it's far too glorious of a task to require anything as mundane as money... besides, I'd never stoop as low as those silly alchemists who only pretend they're true scientists! Plus, what else is the family money good for, if not maintaining the Hayashi's only daughter? I don't know what Brother does with all that money anyway. Oh my, I'm rambling again... ahem.

Personality: As if I need an introduction! I'm the most wonderful, amazing and talented person you'll ever meet, trust me on this. If you ask Brother though, I'm sure he'll tell you quite a lot on me. He's always embarassing me in front of people, especially if they're cute guys. 'Akane, you're too impatient', 'Akane, you're too hot-headed', 'Akane, don't overspend', 'Akane, you talk too much', Akane this, Akane that. Sheesh. I suppose I do have the tendency to act -- and to speak -- a bit rashly, but people can be so annoying. Especially the stuffy nobles, all they do is talk talk talk but they don't actually say anything, and the commoners talk talk talk but they tend not to mean anything. It's hard to get people to understand, and I have better things to invest my time on than patience. The money, well, it's all for important stuff! Like tools and paper and brushes -- those have a tendency to get lost -- and other gear. I don't see what he means by needless spending. Well, I suppose the pretty dresses might qualify as such... they're just so pretty, I can't help myself! Maybe the stuffed toys, too. Oh well. He has a point. Don't tell him I said that. Heee~

Background: Background, how boring. I wish the profiles were more interesting. Nothing for it, then. Let's see, I was born into the Miyoshi family, and promptly found it boring. Brother says that when I was little, I use to sneak out and waddle about everywhere, to the point they had to assign a servant to watch over me... not that it stopped me in any way! The castle and the high life were never my favorite thing. I've always found knowledge beautiful, and I've always craved it. I used to send my teachers running home in tears, all the questions I asked them. Brother would take me across the country in order to find a teacher capable of amusing me. I liked those trips. He seemed very busy during them, like he was looking for someone, or something, but he always managed to make time for me. Not so recently, the whole castle's been abuzz, actually. I wonder what's going on. Whoopsie, I'm rambling again. A few years ago I decided to start researching in earnest. Researching what? Everything. If there's something I don't understand, I'm not satisfied until I figure it out.

My favorite topic, however, has always been Oni. They're fascinating, but there's so little on them. Ever since I was read nursery stories on them as a child, they've always exerted a pull on me. Perhaps it's because they're the greatest mystery of our time? So powerful, so devastating, yet we know practically nothing. At some point in time I decided I would be the one to learn everything that could be learned on them. The idea had been floating in my mind for ever no doubt, it just solidified then. I might have been in my brother's library. I'm usually there anyway, so it's a safe bet~ and my darling Inzen will help me in this quest. As long as I have him, I'll be fine no matter where I go! And my brother knows that, too. After all, he's the one who gave Inzen to me in the first place! Well, it would be more accurate to say he lent it to me, and I kept it. Turns out Yasushi had found the sword carried by an Oni, of all creatures, when he was fighting at the borders, and promptly tore it out of his hands, he tells me. He was unable to find the wielder of it, of course, so it kind of sat there, gathering dust. Can you believe it, a sword so powerful, just sitting there? Before I get sidetracked! Back to my story, er… riiight, how I got it. So as we sometimes do when he has the time, my brother and I were sparring in the garden. He was using Kouhei, sheathed, of course, and I felt like using Inzen, because why not? As usual, he was handing my ass to me, and I joked about being able to draw the sword, and he dared me to, and I drew it, damn right I did. I'm awesome. Ahem. Turns out the superstrength thing only kicks in after you've drawn it once. You should have seen his face when I kicked him through several pottery vases, I bust a lung just recalling it. You should have seen his face when he realized he was going to have to take me on that quest of his, too. Good times, good times.

I think that's enough for boring exposition.

Skills: Can I do anything? You have to ask? I can do lots of things! I know about the movement of the stars, the tides, the seasons, maths, I can paint, sculpt, I'm wicked with a Shamisen, and I'm also not bad with a katana, even though Brother doesn't like me using one (he's just jealous cause mine is way more epic).

Equipment: Nobody told me there'd be a journey! I'm going to go have to get my equipment...
