!Supra¡ Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 [spoiler=Plot]In an alternate Feudal Japan, samurai warriors are tasked with the elimination of malevolent forces know as Tsumimono (Sinful Ones). The tsumimono are demons created by a deity known as Tsumi Jotei (The Sinful Creator) who collects sin energy created when a human being has sinned. The sinful energy then goes through a process known as Gosei (Synthesis), thus a Tsumimono is born. The tsumimono's main objective is to reek as much havoc on the world as possible and persuade human beings to commit sinful acts in order to collect the sin energy for the Tsumi Jotei so that it can create a mass army to rule the world and the heaven realm. Regularly, these tsumimono cannot be killed, but thanks to the specialized weapons of the samurai which were created by synthesizing virtue energy, the polar opposite of sin energy, the samurai can harm and kill tsumimono. Virtue energy, vice versa to sin energy, is created when a human being performs good deeds. Both energies can be collected by a special container called a Kihachi (Spirit Pot) and the energies can be destroyed by coming into contact with each other. As an apprentice samurai, you are task with learning how to effectively fulfill your true samurai duties at a special samurai academy temple named Hishirimi Temple. You will be sent on missions that will test your skills. Missions can range from washing clothes to eliminating tsumimono. By taking exams, you can rise up in ranks to become a full fledge samurai all the way to a samurai master.

Ryunosuke is of average built with fair-colored skin. His most prominent features include his hair which is long and protrudes out the back of his head. The top half of his hair is white while the bottom half is black. The other prominent feature is his jade-colored eyes that appear to glow when the moonlight hits them. Another feature of his eyes is when Ryunosuke uses the abilities of his Kigeki, his eyes turned a bright, glowing golden yellow color. Ryunosuke's eyebrows are black in color like the bottom half of his hair. Attire-wise, Ryunosuke's usual appearance includes a grey-colored haori with a crane design and golden yellow trimmings with black zig-zag patterns, a black kimono underneath the haori, a black long-sleeved garment under the kimono, a golden yellow sash with a zig-zag pattern that ties the haori together, black hakama pants, white tabi socks, and geta shoes. Ryunosuke keeps his Kigeki on his sash. Other clothes that Ryunosuke have includes traditional japanese pajamas and training garments.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:]Ryunosuke is a confident, laid-back, and at times stubborn, individual. Ryunosuke seems to always be confident in his abilities even though he has been stuck in the lowest house at Hishirimi Temple since the age of twelve. Ryunosuke doesn't mind his position and still strives to always do his best and prove his worth to everyone. Sometimes however, Ryunosuke does have his doubts about himself, but he seems to be able to snap back to his usual persona. Ryunosuke hates people who are in a high position but treat those lower than them like trash. Even though he is weaker than most, Ryunosuke will always protect those weaker than him against bullies no matter how strong they are. Ryunosuke at times can be very laid-back especially during the afternoon. He can usually be seen going to the garden area just to lay in the open field and watch the clouds, to the point that he falls asleep and forgets about exams or classes. In fact, his laid-back attitude usually has a way to get him into trouble whether it's forgetting his Kihachi or disrupting classes by falling asleep and snoring. Due to missing out in important lectures or training, Ryunosuke is not the brightest samurai of the bunch. However, his determination and sometimes quick-wit helps him through even the toughest of situations. Ryunosuke can also sometimes appear as stubborn and hotheaded especially around someone he doesn't like. During these times, Ryunosuke can be a rather loudmouth and cocky, causing him to get into a fight and usually getting in trouble for it. Ryunosuke is very protecting and loyal to his friends and would give up his own life for them and for the innocent.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:]Without any history of his birth parents, the only real memories of his childhood are in Hishirimi Temple. When Ryunosuke asked about his real parents, the Head Samurai only said that he was left on the temple's doorstep without a note or anything. As a young child, Ryunosuke was very hotheaded and stubborn, often getting into trouble. At a young age he was already interested in becoming a samurai as he would usually spy on the apprentice samurai while they train. Ryunosuke was often scolded for doing this and was punished by cleaning the dining hall. Ryunosuke however continued to hold his dream of becoming a samurai one day. As he grew older, he was finally accepted to become an apprentice samurai by the Head Samurai. During his first few weeks of training, Ryunosuke was the worst and less improved apprentice samurai of all. Because of this, he was constantly picked on by the older and more experienced apprentice samurai. Ryunosuke then began to get into a lot of fights, especially against those kind of bullies. Ryunosuke ultil this day is still in the lowest house and is still one of the worst students, however, he has yet to given up on his dream.[/spoiler] [u][b]Combat Info[/b][/u] [spoiler=Kigeki:]Ryunosuke wields a shirasaya katana which is basically a katana with a plain wooden Japanese blade mount. The shirasaya consists of only a wooden handle and sheathe, no cross guard like traditional Japanese katana. Ryunosuke usually carries his kigeki on the left side of his sash. Ryunosuke's kigeki gives him three abilities, enhanced strength, enhanced speed, and the ability to release a destructive wave of virtue energy. That ability is called Tenkiba (天牙 Lit. Heaven's Fang).[/spoiler] [spoiler=Sword Art Techniques:]Sword Art: Mad Dragon Dance - Ryunosuke rushes at his opponent and performs an upward slash sending the opponent into the air. Ryunosuke then jumps into the air and performs a series of slashes up to twenty slashes. Ryunosuke then ends the technique by slamming the opponent into the ground using his kigeki. Sword Art: Blooming Lotus - Ryunosuke dashes at his opponent and performs a slash while passing his opponent. Ryunosuke then repeats the same steps over and over again in different directions for another five times, creating a pattern like a lotus. Sword Art: Dragon Tail Whip - Ryunosuke focuses virtue energy into his kigeki then throws it at the opponent(s). After hitting the opponent(s), Ryunosuke's kigeki returns to him like a boomerang. Sword Art: Twisted Infinity - Ryunosuke focuses virtue energy into his kigeki and then rapidly slashes his kigeki in an infinity pattern. This technique is useful for blocking projectiles and causing damage to an enemy at very close range.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Kibaku Techniques:]Kibaku: Twisting Dragon Shot - Ryunosuke firmly plants his feet onto the ground and holds out his right arm with his left hand holding onto the base of his right arm. Only the index and middle fingers are out on his right hand. After gathering a large amount of virtue energy, Ryunosuke releases it as a twisting beam of destructive energy that locks onto its target. Using this technique too much will cause extreme fatigue and unconsciousness. Kibaku: Dragon Fire Ball - A standard kibaku technique learned by all apprentice samurai. Ryunosuke basically holds out his right palm and gathers a small amount of virtue energy. The virtue energy is then shot outwards as a ball of highly flammable air that catches on fire right as it hits the regular atmosphere causing a fireball to attack the enemy.[/spoiler] [u][b]Status Info[/b][/u] Health: 7/20 Attack: 8/20 Defense: 7/20 Speed: 7/20 Strength: 6/20 Durability: 6/20 Stamina: 8/20 Intelligence: 5/20 Sword Art: 6/20 Kibaku: 6/20 Energy: 8/20 Total: 74/220[/spoiler] [spoiler=Accepted Apps][u][b]Samurai[/b][/u] ~Supra~ - Ryunosuke Hasegawa Lord of Mysterians - Taiki Suguru Hydra of Legend - Suzume Rokuko-Minako Lord of Chaos - Isamu Random Dude - Kenshin Akechi Lexsuncion - Kurotsuki Yosho[/spoiler] [spoiler=Reserves][u][b]Samurai[/b][/u] The Swift Assualter [u][b]Nanitsumi Jouin[/b][/u] Lust Gluttony Greed - Lord of Mysterians Sloth - ~Supra~ Wrath - Lord of Chaos Envy - Hydra of Legend Pride - Random Dude[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydra of Ages Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Interesting. Here's my app- reserve me the villain of Envy as well. [spoiler=app] [b]Personal Info[/b] Name: Suzume Rokuko-Minako [i](A double-name is an old Japanese idea that was held by families that wanted to adhere to a more liberal interpretation of common tradition. The first portion would be 'proper' use around important guests, family and official matters, whereas the later would be more appropriate for friends, acquaintances of equal status, or in informal situations.)[/i] Age: 16 Gender: Female Blood Type: B+ Date of Birth: December 1st Hobby: Minako enjoys art, especially landscape depictions of flowers or beautiful scenery. She will paint humans and the like, but does so mostly out of obligation; she doesn't see as much interest in capturing the picture of someone standing still, especially if they commissioned the picture to begin with. On the other hand, she does like painting sincere situations, such as a person who does not know they are being painted, and will do so as much as they can. House: Konken House [spoiler= Appearance] Minako stands at around 4'10, and has a weight a little above a hundred pounds. A delicate, if not particularly frail-seeming creature, she is probably not the person's first idea of a samurai apprentice. Minako has long dark hair, most of which is braided or tied behind her back, but has two long unbound bangs that frame her face. A small lock towards the back is bound into a rather small topknot, almost as if a footnote; otherwise, her hair is rather loose. Her face is ovular and has a very slight heart-shaped bend in it, but it is often difficult to see given her style of hair. Her eyes are larger than average and are a bright, somewhat darkish blue that seems more prominent during times of low-light. Her skin is rather pale, and her limbs are skinny enough to almost be considered sickly in combination with the [color="#006400"]tone[/color]. Slight hints of suntone exist around her brow and the corners of her face, but rarely extend to her limbs. She seems to have little muscle, though they do seem surprisingly solid and wiry, as she was making the most out of the little muscle mass she does have. Minako generally wears a rather expensive-looking Kimono made from exceptionally made silk, dyed a subdued red and on the outermost layer, patterned with shapes of sparrows and bird feathers. Two layers worn inside of that, both of them much thinner in order to stay relatively cool, are a darker or more bright color, and generally bereft of adornment. The first inner layer contains a small sparrow's silhouette towards the hem, but otherwise has no decoration, whereas the innermost one has almost no stylish cuts at all, and is likely there solely for Minako's comfort. She wears sandals, made from a finer material than what usually be seen, as well as well-made Tabi socks to compliment movement. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Personality] Minako is an almost strange bundle of contradictions. The sixth daughter of a noble Samurai house, she was raised with her numerous sisters in the arts of courtesy, decorum and proper action so that she could one day be married into another noble house and forge a strategic bond with a previously opposed house. Raised on these principles, she was taught to keep her emotions under control, to do what others tell of her, to always be accepting and positive and to secretly plot behind the backs of others if she was forced to take the offensive. She took some of these lessons to heart, but not so much others. Notorious for having incredibly strong emotions, she learned how to bottle them up behind a false face, but always had an issue when she inevitably snapped. Her temper could break fairly quickly if she was put up against someone she didn't like, and she rarely had the patience to do anything that she disliked from the get go. Far-reaching plans were no issue; she could come up with them on a whim, but they'd rarely actually pan out like she thought they would. Tired of having little to no actual power, she would occasionally lash out at those in positions lower than her in order to release stress. Without any other method of output, she attained a reputation of one that rarely let things go, that could be polite one second and rip off your face the next. With her status as an adder rather plainly revealed, it was rather obvious that she'd never be married off to any halfway sane noble. at Hishirimi Temple, this has gotten significantly better. With fighting and classes as an acceptable outlet for her emotions, plus the new-found freedom to paint whatever she wants rather than what would be the best thing for her reputation, she became significantly less irritable though still likely to lash out at people she doesn't like. Very attentive in classes and a quick learner, she became a favorite of many teachers for her obedience and study-habits, though some quickly found that an issue she was passionate on could quickly cause her to bite at even them. Despite being so unstable, it is still quite difficult to think what she is exactly thinking. While she might actually lash out, it's very rare she'll tell the absolute truth while doing so; often, she has a problem actually talking about what bugs her, which can often irritate people. Almost all of her true thoughts are revealed through her art, which is why she rarely lets other people see it. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio] The sixth daughter of a Samurai Lord and a member of the noble Suzume family, Minako was largely considered a dissapointment. Her father, a former samurai himself, had been hoping for a son in order to continue on his legacy and his line, but he had birthed only five daughters thusfar. Convinced that the gods would grant him a son if he offered them a tribute, her had his eldest two daughters enroll as priestesses so that he may get their favor. In the meantime, his third to sixth children were raised as nobles and taught in their various ways, in preparation for being married off to notable nobles and strengthening the clan on a whole. While their parents cared about each and every one of their children, they had little in the way of a personal relationship with each. Minako was raised by her nanny, who gave her her Second name, and introduced her to the art of landscape painting. Minako found that she was rather tired of a life of quiet subterfuge and longed for the simplicity of nature, taking to it quite easily. When her last sibling was born, the seventh in the line, it was once again a female child. Her father was furious, but decided that no matter what happened, he would have a successor. He chose Minako for her natural talents in the physical arts and her dissatisfaction with her lot in life, and sent her to live over at Hishirimi Temple. Minako enjoyed leaving her previous life and heading for something presumably better, but was rather shocked when she found that her noble roots didn't amount for much there. Even so, the association with her father, her great study habits and her natural talent eventually led her to being placed into Konken House, along with all the most impressive of the Apprentices. Happy that her talents were just as great as her lineage, she's still not entirely sure what she wants to do with her life, except make her family happy; she feels like there's almost something missing, however, and that she needs to strive to find it. [/spoiler] [b]Combat Info[/b] [spoiler=Kigeki] Minako wields a Namisun Yumi, which is a traditional japanese longbow about seven feet tall from foot to head. The bow is slightly asymmetrical and is meant to be held from lower to the ground than from the middle, which is how she manages to use it with ease. The arrows used are 34-inch, fletched with brown sparrow feathers, and made from lacquered hardwood with 'turnip heads'; the bow itself is made of a whitish wood and dark sinews for the string. The bow gives her the power of incredible aim and a reduced sense of time, which allows her to more carefully aim her shots without worry as to the stress and panic of battle. The final ability of the Kigeki infects people struck by arrows fired with it with a sort of 'poison'; as an ability, it injects Virtue energy into their bloodstream and slowly saps away their energy, weakening and befuddling them the more of it they ingest. It wears off after a few hours, or when Minako wishes it to. As a secondary Kigeki, Minako wears a Kodachi, which is a smallsword that is greater than a dagger. About 59 cm in length, it is more curved than most samurai blades and has a handle longer than typical for greater leverage power; while most small blades are used to complement longer ones, the Kodachi is more suited for merchants and those who want to hide their main weapon, which is why Minako carries it. A solid length of powerful steel, it is a defensive blade and actively hardens her skin to other blows while she wields it, giving her greater defense. [/spoiler] [Spoiler= Sword Art Techniques] Sword Art: Twin Sparrow Cross- Minako notches and releases two arrows, propelling them with more momentum than one would expect. The upper arrow arcs through the air at an incredibly rapid pace and whistles while doing so, like the tweeting of a thousand birds and moving like a lightningbolt. The second arrow comes up half a second later, entirely and deadly silent, with much more momentum as it reaches to intercept the foe's opposite unarmed side. Sword Art: Hundred Shadow Cross- Minako releases a single arrow, whose' shadows fragment into hundreds and fly off at differant angles to converge at a single target, each arrow striking into their body and inflicting mental trauma and lancing pain through their bodies as if they've been physically struck. The only arrow that will actually strike them, however, is the original one; the others are simply illusions. Sword Art: Youkai Arrow- Minako releases a single arrow, or several arrows in succession, after focusing Virtue energy in them to cloak them in the skin of a spirit. The arrows appear as ordinary objects to enemies, such as leaves or small insects, and seemingly move through solid objects in order to hit their destination. They regain their true shape one they've hit their target. Sword Art: Sacred Fire Shot- Minako releases an arrow construct of pure virtue energy, without expending an arrow at all. This arrow has a faster trajectory and burns through Sin energy as it is made up of Virtue, however it doesn't have any of the other benefits her other arrows have. This technique can be used even if she doesn't have any other arrows, and can also be released form her sword rather than her bow; in this case, however, it is slower and weaker, especially if it hits a nearby target. Sword Art: Drowned Kami Shot- Minako releases an arrow imbued with virtue energy that explodes as soon as it reaches its target, releasing its payload of Virtue energy all around it, creating a Sanctified Land within the next few feet. While the attack itself does minor damage except to Sin Energy, the Sanctified Land drains away Sin energy until it is exhausted, and Minako can always hit anyone standing on her Sanctified Land no matter what might be in her way. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Kibaku Techniques] Kibaku: Sparrow Song - Minako stands square and crosses both of her arms, with her hands in fists pointed outward. A small amount of Virtue energy is used to emit a large wave of pressure, wind and sound, none of which are enough to do any actual damage, but can surprise and physically throw back anyone within a foot or two of her own body. This is useful for stopping close combat fighters from coming too close to her. Kibaku: Phantom Sword - Minako Holds one of her arms infront of her with the palm focused outward and stomps with the matching foot; this causes a blast of air towards the opponent, concealing a single lash of wind that is as hard and sharp as a sword swing. The opponent is obviously unable to tell where in the wind the cutting blow will come from; this is only useful at shorter ranges, however, from distances of about five to ten feet. Kibaku: Hidden Feather - Minako holds still with both palms held above her head, before bringing them quickly in front of her, making a quick hand sign with her index and ring finger outstretched. This causes a localized cyclone of air that bends light currents in the local area to give the optical illusion that she doesn't exist. This only works if there is light around for her to bend, and functions less well in dimmer areas or times of the day; in addition, it does not muffle sounds or make her immune to being hit. It only works within a certain distance, generally between 3 and 90 feet. Kibaku: Prevailing Wind - Minako holds one of her hands up, with the thumb and small finger crossed, while thrusting outward. This causes a small amount of wind to stir and push in the same direction as the current wind or breeze, quickly picking up and increasing in potency until it is the strength of a gale-force wind before petering out. It takes ten feet for the wind to become strong enough to be even noticeable, and scales in power from then. This does not work if aimed in the wrong direction of the wind, or if there is no wind at all.

Lord of Chaos Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Note this put together in fragments, and I lost my train of thought every time I was pulled away from the computer EDIT: This app has been completed [spoiler=app]Personal Info Name: [color="#00FF00"]Isamu[/color] Age: 16 Gender: M Blood Type: O+ Date of Birth: November 10th Hobby: Isamu has no real hobbies, but spends most of his free time studying or training with his Kigeki House: Asaiken House [spoiler=Appearance:][IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll3/nekxus23/Remus_s_shinigami_by_airasan.jpg[/IMG] Isuma stands about 5'09" and weighs in at about 170 lb, he is strongly built without being overly muscular, his eyes are a light green color, his brown long hair is normally held back in a pony tail[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Isuma is a rather quiet person, talking only to his closest friends and only for short amounts of time, he tends to be quick and to the point when speaking, but is never rude to anyone when making his point. He is rather intelligent and every chance he gets he politely corrects others. Even though he is in the lowest house he does not let it phase him, to him the houses mean nothing and no matter what house or rank anyone can have great ability, and that no one can reach a point were they are indomitable. While fighting or sparing Isamu taunts his opponents by pointing out every flaw in their stance and in their movement, taking advantage of these flaws in a way no one would expect.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:] When Isamu was born his parents could not afford to raise a child nor could they abandon him to die, so they took him to Hishirimi Temple, and left him, hoping that he would find a better life there in the temple. Isamu grew up in the temple watching the apprentice samurai train and studying to one day become an apprentice. Isamu learned many things from reading the scrolls from the library and watching others train, he developed a fighting style all his own, that was strong, quick, and effective, but it was only at the age 11 that he was finally accepted as an apprentice that Isuma could show his abilities. Isuma was top in classes, but despite his efforts and incredible skill he remains in the lowest class, but Isamu didn't seem to let it bother him. For the past five Isamu has only grown in his knowledge and ability to fight, and he trains hard to prove that despite his given rank and house he can be just as strong as any of the other apprentices.[/spoiler] Combat Info [spoiler=Kigeki:] Isamu has two kigeki. His primary kigeki is a long slender katana which is about four feet in length, but is light enough to be wielded in one hand, and its surface is highly reflective, the hilt guard is in the shape of a rectangle and is slightly larger than most hilt guards, at the four corners of the rectangle are the Japanese symbols for reflect and mirror (reflect: 反 mirror: 鏡). The secondary kigeki is an almost exact replica of the primary, but the hilt guard is of average size an lacks the mirror symbol on the hilt guard. Abillities of primary kigeki: mirror reflect: to use the ability the user must spin the sword in a circular motion with the flat of the blade facing away from the user, this ability absorbs a projectile into the blade and then fires it back on the opposite side of the sword's rotation in witch it was absorbed enhanced perception/sight: enhanced sight allows wielder to see the slightest of movements trigram split: this ability is extremely powerful ability witch reverses the movement and sensory of any one person of the user's choice along with the user himself. To simplify this ability makes things seem to move in the opposite direction that they actually are moving in (so if your opponent moves right, you see them move left and so on), but can only be used for short amounts of time Ability of secondary kigeki: mirror reflect: (refer to above)[/spoiler] [spoiler=Sword Art Techniques:] Sword Art: sharpened shield wall: duel spinning blades are used to deflect projectiles (normally used in combination with mirror reflect) Sword Art: serpent strike: a duel sword strike in witch the user swings both swords in an S and reverse S forming an 8 on the target Sword Art: flaming dragon furious serpent: virtue energy is concentrated into the user's sword(s) and heats the blades, this technique is normally used in combination with other techniques to unleash a powerful attack Sword Art: raging furry of the four burning winds: this technique is used when dashing at an opponent and slashing them from first the front then from each side and the back, this is commonly used with flaming dragon furious serpent Sword Art: rising moon setting sun: a duel sword technique were the user slashes up with one blade and down with the other, symbolizing the rising of the moon while the sun sets[/spoiler] [spoiler=Kibaku Techniques:] Kibaku: shadow serpent: Isamu pulls his arms close to his chest pointing both of hid index and middle fingers, Isamu will then fade from sight, those who are stronger than Isamu can see a faint outline of Isamu, and is useless against enemies that have high-tend detection abilities. This abillity can only be used for short amounts of time, and can be canceled out by covering Isamu in a thick liquid Kibaku: serpent stare, coiling entrapment: Isuma slams both of his hands together and scoots his feet shoulder length apart then opens his eyes wide staring at an enemy. A large symbol resembling a snake coiled around a circle with a pentagram in it (the inner circle is were the target is), the target feels as if it has a very large snake coiling around his/her body, holding them in place, but Isamu is also stuck in place until he releases the Kibaku Kibaku: mark of the striking serpent: Isamu puts both hands together and extends both index and ring fingers, then running at the target and slamming an open hand onto the target's body (position does not matter), a symbol of a snake biting onto a sword, the longer Isaum's hand is in contact with the target the larger the symbol, once a symbol is placed it will last up to 10 minutes, when the symbol is cut or broken a amount of poison proportioned to the size of the symbol is released into the targets body[/spoiler] Status Info*Stats do not affect the combat capabilities of your characters but rather gives me an understanding of the fields they exceed in and vice versa, maximum stat total for right now is 80* Health: 9/20 Attack: 8/20 Defense: 7/20 Speed: 7/20 Strength: 7/20 Durability: 7/20 Stamina: 8/20 Intelligence: 10/20 Sword Art: 6/20 Kibaku: 3/20 Energy: 8/20 Total: 80/220[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
