Each character can have their own subplots and their own spotlight*[/i] The Yuishoko... Mystical objects capable of transforming into weapons of immense force and power. Only a select few bloodlines have the ability to transform and wield these objects of mass power. The members of these bloodlines have, for centuries, defended the world from an evil force bent on gaining control of these mystical artifacts. It is said that an almighty being created these objects using its own soul and body. These objects were then scattered around the world, only to be picked up by a selected group of people. Those people were the first to combat the evil forces bent on obtaining these objects. When they have successfully restrained the evil forces, they knew that it was only a matter of time before they return to this world and so, those people of legend passed on their Yuishoko to their sons and daughters so that they may be the keepers of the Yuishoko and soon pass it on to their children and so forth. Until 500 years have passed and the evil forces have returned to the world to once again attempt to obtain the Yuishoko. The keepers of the Yuishoko would once again face off against the evil forces, only to once again restrain them for another 500 years of peace. However, it didn't take 500 years for one keeper family to betray the other keeper families. One of the keeper family, known as the Kurogetsu Clan wanted to obtain all the Yuishoko themselves and so made a pact with the evil forces to obtain the Yuishoko together. However, one keeper family in particular was able to defeat the Kurogetsu and the evil forces for good using their own lives plus the souls hidden in their Yuishoko to unleash a devastating power. After that battle, which came to be known as the Shuryobi Battle, everything seems to have returned to peace. As for the keeper families, they disappeared from history. As the time passed, the keeper families was forgotten all together and the world seemed to have forgotten all about the Yuishoko. However, the truth is that the keeper families are still alive in a new generation, and once again the Yuishoko are being passed down from one generation to the next. Why? Because the keeper families know that the evil forces and the Kurogetsu Clan members are still alive somewhere in the world, plotting their next move to obtain all of the Yuishoko and to take over the world... In the town of Tanimori Town, a young man by the name of Shinji Kimura and countless others will discover their destiny as wielders of the Yuishoko...[/spoiler] [spoiler=Rules]I expect that anybody who applies for this RP should know the standard rules of the RP section; if you don't get out now and go read the rules.

A Yuishoko can only be wield by members of one bloodline or family and depending on the user's "Pride", the power of the Yuishoko can change. In its sealed state, they can be released by a variety of ways from saying a certain phrase to performing a certain movement. Yuishoko actually contains a small part of the soul and body of the deity who created them. When translated into English, Yuishoko means Lineage Weapon. There are three types of Yuishoko: Kaho - The most common type which takes the form of an object in its sealed state. Kobun - The second rarity of Yuishoko which takes on the form of an animal in its sealed state. Some Kobun Yuishoko can even talk! Keijo - The rarest form of Yuishoko which in its sealed state takes the form of a person's body part. Only a few people are born with this type of Yuishoko. •Pride (Bloodline Soul Energy) - Bloodline Soul Energy or in a more simple term, "Pride", is the naturally occurring energy in the body that allows for a person to activate and control a Yuishoko. It also calculates the power of the Yuishoko and damage the Yuishoko can inflict by the wielder's personality, will, and the honor they hold for their bloodline. Pride can be alter with a change in the wielder's will and honor. •Keeper Family - The term for families/clans who are the wielders and protector of Yuishoko. There is no set number of Yuishoko a family can have though one family member can only use one Yuishoko at a time. •Kurogetsu Family - The keeper family who betrayed the other keeper families in order to obtain all of the Yuishoko in the world. •Akukon - Evil spirits whose goal is to collect energy emitted by the Yuishoko and to collect the Yuishoko themselves. They come in all different size and shapes. Usually, they are monstrous-looking beings. •Yugure - The evil force bent on gathering the Yuishoko. They control a massive army of Akukon to do their bidding. •Tanimori Town - The setting of the RP. •Kurusawa High School - The high school where the main protagonist and the other protagonists attend.[/spoiler] [spoiler=App][b][u]Personal Info[/u][/b] Username: Name: (Japanese please) Gender: Age: (15-17) Blood Type: Date of Birth: (No year) Hobby: (Optional, include a few things your character likes to do) Appearance: (Spoiler plz, 3-4 lines minimum, pic also accepted but plz include a short description of any changes, if there are no changes, then just put the pic, pic must be anime) Personality: (Spoiler plz, 3-4 lines minimum) Bio: (Optional, spoiler plz, 4-5 lines minimum) [b][u]Yuishoko Info[/u][/b] Does Your Character Already Have a Yuishoko?: (Yes or No) Does Your Character Already Know How to Use His/Her Yuishoko?: (Yes or No) Does Your Character Already Know That He/She is a Next Generation Keeper?: (Yes or No) Yuishoko Name: (Can be in Japanese or English) Yuishoko Type: (The three types of Yuishoko) Yuishoko Sealed State Appearance: (Spoiler plz, What does your Yuishoko look like in its sealed stat, if your Yuishoko is a Kobun type and can talk, make sure to state so and include a personality, pic is also acceptable, if using a pic, plz include any changes in a brief description) Yuishoko Activation: (spoiler plz, tell how to activate your Yuishoko, also include details about the sequence of when your Yuishoko is being released) Yuishoko Activated State Appearance: (Spoiler plz, explain in details, pic is also acceptable, if using a pic, plz include any changes in a brief description) Yuishoko Abilities: (Spoiler plz, list the power, abilities, and attacks that your Yuishoko grants you) [code]Without parentheses [b][u]Personal Info[/u][/b] Username: Name: Gender: Age: Blood Type: Date of Birth: Hobby: Appearance: Personality: Bio: [b][u]Yuishoko Info[/u][/b] Does Your Character Already Have a Yuishoko?: Does Your Character Already Know How to Use His/Her Yuishoko?: Does Your Character Already Know That He/She is a Next Generation Keeper?: Yuishoko Name: Yuishoko Type: Yuishoko Sealed State Appearance: Yuishoko Activation: Yuishoko Activated State Appearance: Yuishoko Abilities:[/code][/spoiler] [spoiler=My App(s)][spoiler=Shinji Kimura][b][u]Personal Info[/u][/b] Username: 5fk2cj39 Name: Shinji Kimura (木村•真二 Lit. Kimura Shinji) Gender: Male Age: 16 Blood Type: AB Date of Birth: April 19 Hobby: Fighting in tournaments, beating up local school gangs [spoiler=Appearance:]Shinji is a young man with light skin. He stands at 175 cm (5'09") and weighs in at 64 kg (142 lbs). Shinji is a fairly muscular person though one wouldn't really notice with his clothes on. Shinji has messy, chin-length dark brown hair with wild bangs that are located on the side of his faces and some of the bangs fall between his eyes just pass the bridge of his nose. Shinji has long, slightly narrow eyes with small black irises. His eyes seem to convey a sense of annoyance and boredom most of the time. He also seems to keep a frown on his face a lot as well. Attire-wise, Shinji usually dresses in an unbuttoned black jacket with a raised collar and brass buttons over a white t-shirt, black slacks, dark brown belt, a silver chain attached to his belt, and a pair of white tennis shoes with white socks. Shinji also has his school uniform which consists of a buttoned, white cotton shirt with the shirt collar down and he wears his shirt untucked. He also wears black slacks and his usual tennis shoes with his school uniform. He is always seen wearing a silver bracelet which is his Yuishoko sealed form.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:]Shinji is usually a calm and quiet individual who likes to keep to himself at school, and only talks when asked a question, talking to his friends (which he doesn't have many), or threatening a school gang or bully. Though quiet, he is rather boisterous when it comes to people who annoy him like his little sister, Midori, who always attempts to do a sneak attack on him when he gets home from school. When it comes to it, Shinji can be very hotheaded, confrontational, and impatient. Due to his hotheadedness and inability to stay quiet when confronted, Shinji usually gets into a lot of fights, though he is usually the winner because of his martial arts skills. Due to beating up so many people, Shinji has garnered quite the fierce reputation at school making others afraid of him or nervous to be around him. Though usually people don't pay very much attention to him, which Shinji doesn't mind at all, he even prefers it. Shinji is also very straightforward which ties in with his impatience. Shinji also doesn't like to admit weakness or let people know what bothers him. Despite what seems to be a lot of negative qualities, Shinji is a kind and caring person deep down. He protects others without asking for any reward or even a simple thank you, and he is very loyal to his friends and family. He is also very courageous and tenacious, never giving up no matter how dire the situation may be.[/spoiler] Bio: N/A [b][u]Yuishoko Info[/u][/b] Does Your Character Already Have a Yuishoko?: No Does Your Character Already Know How to Use His/Her Yuishoko?: No Does Your Character Already Know That He/She is a Next Generation Keeper?: No Yuishoko Name: Hikami Doki (火神様激怒 Lit. Fire God Fury) Yuishoko Type: Kaho [spoiler=Yuishoko Sealed State Appearance:]In it's sealed state, Shinji's Yuishoko exists as a bracelet worn on Shinji's right wrist. The bracelet is silver and consists of a long narrow plate connected to a chain. On the long narrow plate there is a stylized etching of a flame symbol on it.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Activation:]To activate Hikami Doki, Shinji must be in a state of focus in which the focus is on fighting the enemy. This in turn activates the flow of his "Pride" which allows him to activate his Yuishoko. To activate his Yuishoko, Shinji slams his right fist into his left palm to, in a sense, ignite his built-up "Pride" and entering the activation stage. During activation, a circle of flames appears on the ground and encircled Shinji. The flames then leap up towards Shinji and completely cover is right arm in flames, though there is no burning sensation. The flames soon disappear revealing a completely different arm.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Activated State Appearance:]After the disappearance of the flames, Shinji's arms appear completely different, though the flames don't burn away his clothes and so if Shinji is wearing his jacket, only his hand and a bit of his wrist would be visible. His arm is now completely covered in an black armor-like skin with the armor on his hands having sections noticeable by the lines that separate each section.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Abilities:]As suggested by its name, Hikami Doki grants the wielder fire-based abilities, most commonly the ability to launch fireballs by punching. However, there is much more to it then that. Enhanced Strength - Hikami Doki grants the wielder enhanced strength, beyond human limits. This applies to all body parts instead of just Shinji's right arm. Shinji, with Hikami Doki, is powerful enough to stop an accelerating car going at 40 mph. Enhanced Speed - Shinji's speed is enhanced to the point where he can run 100 meters in just 3 seconds. Though it's not as impressive as his enhanced strength, Shinji is still able to catch many opponents off guard with his speed. shinji's punching and kicking speed are also increased by Hikami Doki. Enhanced Defenses - With Hikami Doki activated, Shinji is able to withstand more attacks and pain. His right hand is even able to be completely immune to some fire attacks, though some strong fire attacks can damage Shinji. Aside from being completely immune to some fire attacks, Shinji's right arm can also withstand damage from attacks with little to no sign of damage. Fire Creation & Manipulation - Hikami Doki allows Shinji to create fire and attack with it. Some common fire attacks include punching fireballs, shooting a stream of fire from his fist, and the most commonly used tactic, covering his right hand with fire and attacking.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Accepted Apps][spoiler=Supreme Gamesmaster Yddisac/Ryoko Hanazawa][b][u]Personal Info[/u][/b] Username: PnT15f2c Name: Ryoko Hanazawa (花沢りょう子; "Hanazawa Ryouko") Gender: F Age: 17 Blood Type: A- Date of Birth: January 13 Hobby: Chess, magic [spoiler=Appearance:]Ryoko has dark eyes that seem, thanks to the bags in her eyes, to be based in dark pits in her face. That face is framed by thick, unkempt black hair that reaches a good ways down her back. She's fairly tall, standing 175 cm, but she almost always slouches. She always wears some kind of long-sleeved shirt (usually black), long black pants, and black boots -- for good reason: Her right arm has been defective since birth, like a blasted sapling...[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:]Ryoko is not a popular person. Her dark appearance and esoteric interests have made her a complete outcast, regarded with ridicule at best and suspicion at worst. She almost encourages this view, writing her name in an utterly bizarre way and rarely speaking, though she's quietly bitter about it. More than anything, she wants someone to understand her, but she makes that very difficult for herself. Ryoko's sheer, unrelenting [i]sanity[/i] makes her even more dangerous in the eyes of others -- and rightfully so. She has the eloquence and hamminess of a Hamlet or Richard III, and the intellect and skill in manipulation to match. She can be quite a charmer if she wants to be, though she has yet to figure out how to apply her skill in manipulation to her frienships. Ryoko's always been much closer to plants and animals than people. She's utterly indiscriminate in species, accepting carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores alike; the circle of life drives her philosophy. Needless to say, this is how she found her Yuishoko two years ago. Her favourite food is milk chocolate; her favourite drink, water. She is, however, a fan of fruits, particularly apples, strawberries, and pomegranates. She doesn't eat meat, less because of ideological concerns (circle of life, remember) than because she just doesn't like it. Insofar as allegiance goes, Ryoko is a complete wildcard. tl;dr: Richard III, except a non-royal girl.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:]Ryoko was born on Friday the 13 to a rather superstitious Japanese family. She was born quite prematurely, and her right arm was damaged because of it. Her parents [i]freaked out.[/i] Right from the beginning, she was very much disliked because of her arm. She was treated rather roughly and given too little love and too much fear by the only people in her life for three years. Then her sister Mitsuki was born. Ryoko's parents doted on Mitsuki. And so did Ryoko. It was hard not to -- Mitsuki was terribly sweet, and didn't pay the least bit of attention to Ryoko's damaged arm. The sisters became very close. VERY close. But even so, jealousy lingered in Ryoko's heart. She began adopting all sorts of deviant behaviours in desperate attempts to buy her parents' attention, to no avail -- they simply became further convinced that she was a lost cause, continuing to spoil and over-protect Mitsuki. Ryoko didn't fare much better in school than at home, of course. Her deviance and strangeness led to an almost complete isolation from her classmates. Her parents began to distance her from Mitsuki as well, though the sisters still adored each other. Ryoko began delving into the world of literature as a means of escape from the world that so rejected her. Shakespeare, in particular, stuck; she can quote many of his plays from memory. She began to be inspired by the likes of Hamlet, Macbeth, and Richard III -- the tragic heroes ruined by their quest for power. This was where her quiet, vengeful designs began to take form. When Ryoko entered junior high, something very important happened: She met Hikari Takagi. At first, they shared loathing, unadulterated loathing. But when one of Hikari's boyfriends turned sour, Ryoko defended her -- thus began their friendship. Ryoko discovered her Yuishoko during this time: a four-striped snake that frequented her yard approached a group of frogs and eventually ate the one that croaked. Ryoko, intrigued, asked rhetorically why it had done that -- and the snake responded. They inadvertently carried on about philosophy for five minutes before Hikari arrived and asked what the hell Ryoko was doing. Together, Ryoko and the snake pieced together the history of the Yuishoko, and the snake supposed that it must be Ryoko's Yuishoko. Ryoko's parents had been trying to keep her from her birthright in hopes that Mitsuki would eventually take it; obviously, that didn't work out so well. Hikari named it Ladon -- thus becoming one of the only people alive to know of Yuishoko that didn't have any historical connection to them. Ryoko and Hikari were inseparable until the end of junior high, when Hikari moved. Ryoko begged to follow Hikari and was rejected out of hand, instead shipped unceremoniously to Kurusawa High. That pretty much cemented Ryoko's hatred of the world right there. Now it's Ryoko's last year of high school. She's been distanced from Mitsuki for her entire high school career, and their meetings are now almost bitter -- Mitsuki is slowly losing her identity to popularity, Ryoko claims, while Mitsuki argues that Ryoko is becoming dangerously cynical. They're both right: Mitsuki is a changed girl, and Ryoko has a plan. Now she knows the Kurogetsu plan are out to take over the world. She knows that they cannot be allowed to win, and intends to fight against them. She also knows that with Ladon's help, she can finally begin taking her vengeance on a world she strongly dislikes. No one knows what Ryoko's plan is -- not even Ryoko herself, yet. But she knows that opportunity has knocked, and she's off to answer the door with an eloquent, hammy soliloquy and a maniacal laugh... The focus of that bio is a little odd; it hits mainly the high points, skipping over the monotonous details of her vicious cycle of isolation. She's got much more powerful motives than I'm hinting at. Her allegiance will depend on the personalities of the other Yuishobito. tl;dr: Richard III meets Elphaba Thropp.[/spoiler] [b][u]Yuishoko Info[/u][/b] Does Your Character Already Have a Yuishoko?: Yes Does Your Character Already Know How to Use His/Her Yuishoko?: Yes Does Your Character Already Know That He/She is a Next Generation Keeper?: No Yuishoko Name: Ladon Yuishoko Type: Kobun Yuishoko Sealed State Appearance: Sentient Japanese striped snake, [i]Elaphe quadrivirgata[/i] Yuishoko Activation: "I eat the apple of light and darkness." [spoiler=Yuishoko Activated State Appearance:]The activated Ladon becomes three-metre-long black serpentine being. It's covered in metallic scales and has menacing fangs, but it also has fearsome command of a magic-like energy field. Its eyes are particularly striking -- truly the eyes of a snake, they have an almost hypnotic glow to them. Besides the power of the eyes themselves, the colour of the eyes betrays Ladon's elemental inclination -- there are many. It usually wraps itself around Ryoko's body and right arm, with its fearsome head replacing Ryoko's right hand, but if Ryoko so chooses, it can fly away from her -- leaving her mostly defenceless.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Abilities:]Ladon has seven sets of abilities, depending on the colour of its eyes. However, its abilities are mostly defencive: an energy field that can repulse most "magical" Yuishoko-based attacks, tough scales that can repel most physical attacks, and venomous fangs. Only one ability can be used at a time. You can tell she's supposed to be a villain, at least during an early sub-arc. ...I'm so not accepted. RED: Fire. Ladon breathes fire in a short range. The fire is no stronger than ordinary fire, however, and can be fought with the same means. ORANGE: Earth. Ladon can create "shields" of energy to deflect most energy-based attacks wheresoever it desires. Very useful if Ryoko ever needs to protect someone/something, which is approximately never at the start of the RP. YELLOW: Sun. Ladon's energy field becomes offensive in nature, inflicting mild damage and repulsing everyone nearby. A common setting for escapes. GREEN: Wood. Ladon draws energy from nature to heal Ladon and Ryoko. BLUE: Water. Ladon flies through the air at high speeds as if it were swimming through the sky. The most offensive of Ladon's abilities. INDIGO: Metal. Ladon's scales become almost impenetrable to physical attack, but its movement is inhibited. VIOLET: Moon. Ryoko and Ladon can blend into shadows, almost teleporting to wherever a shadow can be found. If there are no shadows in the area for whatever reason, they're forced into the open and weakened considerably while in Moon phase. This is by far the most powerful ability of Ladon's, but also the one that requires most energy to maintain; it's a desperation attack.[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=GreyCat/Keith Kagetsu-Lucine][b][u]Personal Info[/u][/b] [u]Username:[/u] 2GREYC4F [u]Name:[/u] Keith Kagestu-Lucine (Call him The Magician) [u]Gender:[/u] Male [u]Age:[/u] 16 [u]Blood Type:[/u] O- [u]Date of Birth:[/u] December 31/January 1 [u]Hobby:[/u] Novels, Magic tricks, Urban legends, mythology, lock picking, [s]breaking and entering[/s], astrology [u]Appearance:[/u] Average looking, if a bit geeky. He wears glasses that often slide down his nose and has bizarre eyes. His iris is a very light gray, almost white, and his pupils are white as well. His doctors are still fearing that he will go blind and don't understand how he can see (he secretly thinks his magic has something to do with it.) His hair is cut a bit short and is mostly messy and tussled. He wears sweaters and striped button-down shirts often, giving him a semiformal look in most situations. He has a few scars on his hands from failed magic trick, but they are not easily noticed. [u]Personality:[/u] Keith is a bit quiet but flamboyant. He likes to share his latest magic tricks with his friends and anyone one else who will listen to him. He is skilled at not apparently paying attention to this and his surroundings if he gets engrossed in something, but he really is attentive to all that goes on around him. He likes to keep secrets, as he believes that is the mark of a good magician and is generally confident in his own findings. He doesn't really like surprises, but adores new things. He likes to reach out to people and to make friends, but he doesn't really get warm with them and is often a bit distant. He is very active and enthusiastic and doesn't like to sit still for long. [spoiler=Bio] Keith is the son of a popular magician from Europe. He was born within thirty seconds before and after midnight on new years, making his official date awkward (his birth certificate has both dates.) He has traveled the world with his parents on their tours and acts and his spent most of his childhood in various cities and countries. It has had it's bright side, as he has an interest scope of knowledge and speaks about eight different languages passably. On the down side, his schooling has suffered and he isn't the best and brightest student and he does not really know how to open up to his friends. But anyway, he started to show a talent in magic from a young age. His parents developed his skills in magic and he eventually gained a side show all his own. Seeing his skill, his parents decided it was time to initiate him into the family secret. The test was both simple and beautifully complex. Starting chained and locked in a trunk he had to both get out, decipher a few puzzles, pick some locks to get into the auditorium and pick the lock to the box at the bottom of the water escape tank. All for a paper with the words "the smiling face of the moon". Of course, he had to figure out the riddle. It took him two days to realize it meant the birthmark on his hand. Having passed the test, they told him. The mark was the sign of powerful magic. And real magic, not just the sleight of hand he learned from his father. His mother had it but it faded when he first showed an aptitude for magic. They explained that it was important from something, and that others might be after it, but the reasons why had been lost long before his mother time. In any case, Keith has been working at understanding the abilities of the Black Hat and has worked out a way to use the power it produces, based off his magic skills. He has seen a few strange things since the Hat's power woke, but as to why they are after it, he does not know. He thinks the hat might have a personality of it's own based on the trouble it give him when he tries to work it out. To give him time to settle for once, his parents have set him up in his mother ancestral hometown of Tanimori while they tour in Japan.[/spoiler] [b][u]Yuishoko Info[/u][/b] [i]Does Your Character Already Have a Yuishoko?:[/i] Yes [i]Does Your Character Already Know How to Use His/Her Yuishoko?:[/i] Somewhat, but working on it [i]Does Your Character Already Know That He/She is a Next Generation Keeper?:[/i] Again, not really. [i]Yuishoko Name:[/i] Mikazuki no Akudama [三日月の悪玉] (Crescent Moon's Black Hat), commonly referred to as just Akudama [i]Yuishoko Type:[/i] Keijo [spoiler=Yuishoko Sealed State Appearance] A crescent moon shaped birthmark on the back of his left hand. He has a somewhat short stage magician's wand (about 10'' long) that he never losses too. Really, everytime he thinks he misplaces it or leaves it, it shows up. Whether it is the Yuishoko or a conjured image made by it to distract from the fact that it is really a Keijo type is unclear. His eyes may be somewhat connected to it as well, but there's no real way to tell.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Activation] To activate Akudama, he must be confident in himself and his abilities. Otherwise, the activation fails or is much weaker and glitchy. His magic tends to react to his confidence as well. He holds his hand out and says, whispers or thinks 'Showtime.' The tattoo vanishes in a burst of silver sparks and a dark blue disk forms in his hand. He either rests it on his head or snaps it out and it forms into a black top hat. He can take it further and replace his clothing with a black three piece suit as well. A failed activation will have flaws in the clothing and/or items and the tattoo might not fade completely.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Activated State Appearance] Normally, Akudama is a black top hat with a dark grey band above the rim with a silver crescent moon attached to it at a slightly crocked angle. The activation can be pushed even further; conjuring a black stage magician's outfit. It includes a three piece suit with a pocket watch and the hat as well as a black tie, silver crescent moon cufflinks, a crescent moon themed tie chain and a fair sized cape that is black on the outside and dark grey inside. There is the question if it is ever fully deactivated, pertaining to the wand he always has.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Abilities] Akudama's abilities (while under Keith's control) are using his pride as western style magic. It has two main abilities; manifestations of thoughts and imaginations, and bending of space. The later is not as strong as the former, but is still major part of the Black Hat's abilities. Primarily, Keith's use of the Hat have been for manipulating pride into shapes and forms for uses such as conjuring, illusions and things like teleportation. It is basically using Pride to form a variety of forms an images that appear different to confuse his foes. His wand is the most concrete form of his power and is either formed by the Hat itself or by his subconscious. He can alter the size of the wand and use it as a shinai or a quarter staff. He is capable of firing blast of silver 'magic energy' from the tip. Not exceptionally strong, only a bit stronger than a punch, but multiple hits can be difficult to hand. His cape is a good defensive tool and the suit over all raises his endurance. When he uses Black hat, he can float around. Most of his abilities follow the same basic principle but tweaked a little to look different (eg. he Magical series and the Card Trick are all conjured items he controls, just in different shapes.) The Hat can be difficult at times, acting glitchy and not providing what he imagined, leading Keith to think it has a mind of it's own, but the Hat has merely linked to Keith through his subconscious and gives trouble only when he himself is not that certain in his decisions. But the Hat has a third ability, to suppress the conscious mind and let the subconscious control for a while. It isn't something Keith knows yet, but it is the Hat's way of ensuring the protection of the keeper as well as it's own power. [i]Magic Wand:[/i] can cast illusions with it or levitate things he points at (through invisible hands of pride). He can shot visible or invisible blasts with it and adds 'magic' words for show. If he losses it, he can either summon or conjure it back. [i]Card Trick:[/i] Conjures cards he can control to block attacks or attack. They can sometimes explode and have sharp edges. [i]Magical Hoops: [/i]Conjures multiple rings that he can control telepathically. They can be used as physical weapons, deterrents, restrains and in several imaginative ways [i]Magical Hats:[/i] tosses his hat, or a conjured copy, that flies around like a magic buzz saw. [i]Out of the Hat:[/i] Pulls magic constructs from his hat like doves or rabbits or cats that act as familiars. He subconsciously 'programs' them with simple instructions and they are not very flexible or even useful aside from distractions. Too many or too complex ones strain his mind. He can make objects as well, but they fade in a few minutes. He is limited by his Pride. He can't make complex things he doesn't know how to work either, like a gun, but can make a water gun or a gag gun. [The things struck out are ones he hasn't worked out yet, maybe conceived, and attempted, but not put into practice][s] [i]Conjuring:[/i] Creates magic constructs without the hat. Basically the same ability as Out of the Hat without the hat. Hat trick: Enlarges the hat to absorb something and either banish it or redirect it from another hat.

(Though she is embarrassed to admit this) - Reading (Often old scriptures, but it could be anything) - [s]Always looking mysterious[/s][/spoiler] [spoiler=Appearance:] [IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/aui986.jpg[/IMG] When in school she normally wears a long sleeved, black, button up shirt that is always tucked into a blue skirt. She wears thigh high, white socks along with black flats. Around her neck is a necklace that has the depiction of a fan with the fire kanji on it. She is rather simple in her clothing choice, but Minawe doesn’t feel as though it is too important – just as long as you look presentable for the occasion. Minawe doesn’t often differ from the norm too much – when it comes to clothing – but when she does, she does so very awkwardly. At her home she adorns the Japanese Kimono, and bamboo sandals. Her hair is often pulled up in a tight bun with two red chopsticks holding it in place. All of the kimono’s Minawe own have the picture of a fan with either the kanji for fire, or being depicted of being surrounded by fire. Her final change of clothing would be her Miko Priestess outfit; a white top, with red pants that have almost a baggy look to them. Once again her hair is up; however it is simply in a pony tail held by a thin white – sometimes red – ribbon. On the back of the top is yet again the picture of a fan with the kanji for fire. This is also what she wears when she practices sword fighting in the dojo. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about just think Kikyo’s outfit from Inuyasha)[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Being brought up in a strict, and traditional Japanese family she is often looked at as strange – considering the way the Japanese culture has been modernized. She is very quiet, always carrying the air of being aloof and mysterious. Minawe has a soft voice – something usually takes people off guard – but the underlying tone of strength and confidence is not easily overlooked. She isn’t the most approachable person. With her sharp stare and seemingly secretive behavior, people are often intimidated by her. Sometimes her behavior can be misinterpreted, and seen as a “to-good-be-associated-with-you”; which to a certain extent could be true. The look in her eyes is often described as sharp, even callous looking, and always seemingly calculating something. She holds true to the Japanese tradition, always referring to people by their last names only and adding the appropriate honorific to the end. One thing she doesn’t do is bow to people she doesn’t deem worthy of her respect – something that she is a deep believer in. Without respect, and honor you are seen as insignificant in her eyes. There are rumors going around that she is a witch that will curse anyone to damnation if they get in her way. How the rumor started she hasn’t a clue, nor does she care to find out. There are few things that peak her interest and rumors are certainly not one of them. However, there is some truth to this rumor. Minawe is a Miko Priestess in the shrine on her parents property, which people often come to for prayer and blessing – occasionally to be purified from evil spirits. This, however, only made her less approachable by her fellow students, and labeled as “freaky”. Another reason why she doesn’t interact with others is because she wouldn’t want them to get hurt. Believing, that her enemies might attack her friends just to get to her, and that is something she doesn’t want to happen again. Due to the fact she is a loner, most people wouldn’t know this, but she is very protective of the ones she takes “interest” in.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:] Minawe was born at the exact time – and thus 5 days early - her aunt of 48 years died, and it was because of this the Kanigawa family knew the next generation Keeper had been born. For many years it has been the females of the Kanigawa family that have been destined to be the Keepers, and in control of the powers granted. Now the Kanigawa’s are well known for the Shrine that is kept on their property, and is open to the public for prayer and donations to keep the shrine in tip top shape. The family is not only known for their shrine, but also their wealth. The Kanigawa’s are situated in a large traditional Japanese style house, complete with shoji sliding doors, and everything. The whole house is one floor, however the house is wide and lengthy. There is a yard that stretches from the house to the stone fence surrounding the house, as well as a Dojo – which is where Minawe’s time is majorly spent. All around the manor there could be symbols seen of a fan with the kanji of fire, which is meant to depict the Kanigawa’s spirit; the fan plowing on the fire, making it burn brighter and becoming livelier. This is where Minawe grew up, taught and schooled in how to behave. Her parents were not ones to change their beliefs, and both were also brought up in traditional Japanese homes. It was required for Minawe to always wear a Kimono when in the house, and to begin her Miko lessons as soon as her 6th birthday arrived. Minawe was taught by only the best, and didn’t leave her home until it was time for her to attend middle school – the same time as the past female Keepers were. It was only then did her parents allow for her to assimilate into the proper attire, for the appearance she needed to obtain - basically modernized clothing. Due to the fact she was home school she was not very out spoken, preferring to stay to herself. By this time she had already started coming into the powers granted to her, and was already fighting the Akukon. Her second year of Middle school she met her first and only friend; Hiko. It was the first person Minawe actually felt a connection with, but who didn’t share the same burden as she did. Sadly this friendship did not last long. The Akukon had attack Minawe’s friend knowing the connection between the two, and hoping to distract Minawe. Minawe had only resently started this battle, and Hiko didn’t stand a chance. She died that night, and after that Minawe vowed to never be so close to anyone, that it would hurt to lose them. So now she doesn’t have “Friends” but only “intrests”.[/spoiler] [b][u]Yuishoko Info[/u][/b] Does Your Character Already Have a Yuishoko?: Yes Does Your Character Already Know How to Use His/Her Yuishoko?: Yes, but not fully Does Your Character Already Know That He/She is a Next Generation Keeper?: Yes Yuishoko Name: Seishin Fujo (Meaning “Spirit Priestess”) Yuishoko Type: Keijo [spoiler=Yuishoko Sealed State Appearance:] Seishin is located on her arms in the form of 6 kanji, 3 on each of her forearms. It’s located closer to the top of her arm closer to the shoulder. The three kanji form a triangle with “life” and “death” being the tip on the triangle. (The color on the spoiler is that Kanji’s color association) On her right arm: [spoiler=Earth/brown] [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/u8ysh.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] [spoiler=Water/blue] [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2m7zos4.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] [spoiler=Life/white] [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/2wq4ime.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] On her left arm: [spoiler=Wind/green] [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2vrs8er.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] [Spoiler=Fire/red] [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/msda2s.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] [spoiler=Death/black] [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/2cwx1eu.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Activation:] Minawe simply thinks about which kanji to utilize, often by [i] Kanigawa release:[/i] then the name of the kanji she wishes to release. The command can be verbalized, but it is not required. When the command is given said kanji begins to glow – each kanji has their own color association – and then a ring appears around both of a wrist. It doesn’t touch her skin, and actually hovers around the joint. It has a fire-like appearance to it as the flames will break away from the source before vanishing; and these rings also take on the color of the kanji released. When a sword is summoned, Minawe will hold out her hand, so that it’s parallel to her body, and then a circle will appear with the activated kanji in the center, that seems to be free floating in front of her hand – do not forget everything is still color associated. The sword’s hilt will appear first, and then she will proceed to pull out the entire sword with the opposite hand. When summoning two swords, she will hold out her hands to the side and whichever kanji is activated, that kanji appears in the center of the free floating circle, and this time the tip of the sword comes out. The sword will continue to emerge from the circle until the entire sword is released, and she has grabbed onto the hilt.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Activated State Appearance:] Seishin’s appearance is a collection of different blades. It simply depends on which kanji is activated. [spoiler=swords][IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/1r6y6d.jpg[/IMG] From left to right: Death, Fire, Wind, Earth, Water. The sword used for the Kanji “Life” is the same sword design as “Earth” however, its blade is a pearly white, almost to the point of blinding, especially when the sun hits the blade. The grip is also yellow. Minawe can use the power without channeling them through the sword, however, the effect will be weaker. Though it is good for concerving energy , and weaker monsters. [/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Yuishoko Abilities:] [b]Vision:[/b] Give the holder of Seishin’s mark the ability to see into the future. The visions are not subject to control, and usually come whenever they want. However, when Minawe is meditating, she can usually trigger one. The visions are rarely straight forward, usually leaving her with more questions than answers, and sometimes very cryptic. [b]Purification:[/b] Gives the holder of Seishin’s mark the ability to see, and purify lost souls. [b]Soul Sight:[/b] Gives the bearer of Seishin’s mark to see a person’s aura, and true heart; basically, to tell the intentions, or feelings of a person by the fluctuations in their aura. With this she can also tell it the person has a Yuishoko, but only if it has been activated by the person. Minawe can chose when she looks through “Soul Sight”, and when she does her irises seem to glow slightly. [b]Kanji: Fire:[/b] Gives her the ability to channel the power of fire through her sword. She can use fire base attacks, and increases her strength. The kanji gives her power, however it decreases her ability of adaptation. Meaning that in a fight it will take her longer if the variables in the fight change (i.e whether, opponents, fighting styles etc…) [i]Kanji: Wind:[/i] Gives her the ability to use all aspects of wind to her disposal. This kanji drastically increases her speed, allowing her do dodge most attacks with ease and travel long distances quickly. When using this Kanji her overall defense is weakened; meaning it will take fewer attacks before she is defeated. [s]Kanji: Life:[/s] This sword is not used for battle at all, and cannot be used to kill. Whenever this blade cuts through someone all of their injuries will be healed. The sword also has the ability to bring someone back to life; however the user would have to use up all of their “pride”. So basically it’s trading one life for another. [b]Kanji: Water:[/b] Gives her the ability to channel both water and ice through her blade. When using this weapon her attacks are strictly water base, and she can freeze the water for ice attacks. This kanji gives her the ability to adapt to situations quickly, and see through opponents movements – and seemingly making her faster when in actuality she can simply see the attack more clearly, and can react accordingly. While giving her that ability, it also takes away from her power. [s]Kanji: Earth:[/s] Gives her the ability of using earth to her will, and desire, however, only earth based attacks can be used when the kanji is active. When this kanji is being used, Minawe is endowed with extreme defense, and is more durable during battle. She can take more hits and is not easily knocked down, unfortunately her speed is cut in half. [s]Kanji: Death:[/s] The most powerful, yet dangerous sword in the Kanigawa arsenal. When this sword is swung a mass of dark energy is released leaving nothing but death in its wake. Whenever this sword is used to kill someone, that person’s soul is forever enslaved by the sword’s owner, and can be called upon to help whenever the owner wishes. However, the longer a person uses this sword the less sane they become. They begin to lose their since of self, and slowly their “Pride” begins to dim. Eventually the person will die, and their own soul will be enslaved by the blade. So normally this sword is used in a “There’s no hope” kind of situation. The ones that are bolded: [b]She knows[/b] The ones iticilized: [i]She is working on[/i] The ones striked out: [s]She doesn't know[/s][/spoiler] [Spoiler=Keijo Legend] [b]I know it’s not required but this is just in case you may not understand why she would be granted priestess powers.[/b] The Kanigawa’s power originated back when Miko’s were as common as the air you breathed. It was to a woman named Ayame Kanigawa, a powerful Miko Priestess in her own right, and very well known. Ayame was gifted with many things, and among those was [i]precognition [/i], and the powers of purification. It was as if she was blessed by the Gods themselves. People would flock from all over just to hear her words, and receive her grace and blessings. To many she was their savior, and source of light. Some would even go so far as to saw being with Ayame was the closest to a divine being as they could come while in the flesh. However, Ayame was always plagued by visions of death, loneliness and despair, yet no one knew of this and so she was left to slowly go mad by her own power. She began to hate her power, but there was nothing she could do to stop the hate and darkness that was taking over her heart. Why was it that she had to suffer from these visions? Was this what it meant to be chosen by the Gods? If it was then the Gods can have their power. The Gods saw the pain, and sorrow of Ayame and struck a deal with her. They will take away her suffering but she must forever be in service of the “Keepers”. Ayame hadn’t a clue what that meant but readily agreed only thinking that she would be free from such taxing powers. Like the Gods promised her powers were taken from her and she became like any ordinary Miko Priestess without any divine abilities. When Ayame died, she died a normal and pain free woman, however she did not realize the burden she had just put on her family when she died. The Gods, fulfilling Ayame’s part of the deal, took hold of the immense spiritual powers she had and divided them equally among 6 elements: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Death, and Life. With that the Kanigawa’s Keijo was born. However, because Ayame’s spiritual energy was used it’s almost as if she isn’t at rest at all. Because of this, the Kaniyama’s believe that all of the Keepers are one person – Ayame – just constantly being reborn into a different life, as was her deal with the Gods; for [i]her[/i] to be forever a Keeper. It is because of this that each Keeper, is taught the ways of a Miko Priestess. While there are other variations of this legend, and how the Kanigawa’s got their powers. One even telling why the channel object are swords, however, this is the one most familiar. [b]Hope you all enjoied it!! ^^[/b][/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Luxray][spoiler=Kaiya Fukuzawa]Personal Info Username: 2c33f3d Name: Kaiya Fukuzawa Gender: Female Age: 16 Blood Type: AB+ Date of Birth: June 18th Hobby: Painting and playing the alto sax Appearance: Kaiya is sweet and sensitive- but don't let that fool you. She is ready to lay down the smack on people who need it. A free spirit, she believes fiercely in self-expression- and since insults are a form of this, Kaiya is pretty tolerant most of them most of the time. However, you can only go so far- there are certain lines which, when crossed, will have Kaiya throwing down the gauntlet. Several lines include her family and friends- you can insult her all you want, but talk smack about those close to her, and it's go time. In other situations, Kaiya is the sweetest and nicest girl you can ever meet, if a little blunt. She's not afraid to say what she feels, but since she is so optimistic and sees the good in people, most of the time what she says is nice. She is a good listener and comforter, and most people come to her when sad or upset. She is completely loyal to her friends, and sees betraying those close to you as the worse possible thing that can be done. Personality: Kaiya is tall and supple, with a statuesque body and flawless pale skin. She has a pretty face, with limpid dark brown eyes and a heart-shaped head. Unlike most of her Japanese schoolmates, she has brown hair- it has been thought that her father is an American or European- however, her mother does not speak about such things. In any case, her light brown locks are wavy and fall down halfway down her back, finally ending in a slight curve. Her hair is often thrown over her left shoulder, falling her shirt, which usually consists of a light-colored blouse. This is generally paired with tight, stonewashed jeans and fur boots, or sandals when it is warm out. Bio: Kaiya and her twin brother, Aito, were born to Ayumi Sasaki, a girl fresh out of college who had a one-night stand at a wild party which resulted in the twins. Ayumi, despairing, nearly aborted the pregnancy, but after feeling one of her children kick within her stomach, lost all will to do so. She couldn't kill her babies- in fact, Ayumi fell in love with them. After they were born, Ayumi dropped everything to support them; she left behind a good possible job as a journalist and became a grocery store worker just to keep her family afloat. For her loving dedication, the twins repaid her with suffuse affection and love; there never was a more tight-knit family then the Sasakis', even though they just barely managed to scrape by. However, it finally caught up with the family; bankruptcy was just around the corner and the twins were despairing, when salvation walked into their lives. He was a businessman who managed to stop by the grocery store for some milk. As he gazed upon the woman behind the counter, he was smitter with her; Ayumi had met her match. A big-time businessman named Daisuke Fukuzawa dated Ayumi Sasaki for several months, then married her and made her Mrs. Fukuzawa; and the twins, now with a new last name, finally had a father. They moved in with their stepfather, who lived, surprisingly, in a town named Tainimori Town. They began to attend the local high school, where Kaiya distinguished herself in the arts, and Aito on the soccer field. The one common ground they had was playing an instrument- Aito loved the challenge of besting difficult music, while Kaiya appreciated the artistic flair of it. They both picked up the alto sax and began playing it. For the first time in their lives, the twins were content- they weren't on the verge of destitution, they finally had the parents they had always dreamed, and a good life in both school and out. For once, things seemed perfect- but this might change soon... Yuishoko Info Does Your Character Already Have a Yuishoko?: Yes Does Your Character Already Know How to Use His/Her Yuishoko?: No Does Your Character Already Know That He/She is a Next Generation Keeper?: No Yuishoko Name: Sakusei (作成 Lit. Creation) or Hakai (破壊 Lit. Destruction). Kaiyo and Aito are unique is that they has two Yuishoko to choose from- Sakusei and Hakai. She and her brother share the Yuishoko- technically, half of each is in each twin. By drawing on the powers of one of the Yuishoko, a twin prevents the other twin from using that Yuishoko. Yuishoko Type: Keijo Yuishoko Sealed State Appearance: Sakusei and Hakai are linked to Kaiyo's entire body, but originate from her right and left eye. In both of their sealed state, they looks simply like a dark brown eye. Yuishoko Activation: Kaiyo either shouts "Sakusei wa hakai no owaridesu!" (作成は破壊の終わりです Lit. Creation is the end of destruction!) and the kanji for Sakusei (作成) appears on her right eye, or she shouts "Hakai wa sakusei owaridesu!" (破壊は作成終わりです Lit. Destruction is the end of creation!) and the kanji for Hakai (破壊 ) appears on her left eye. If she chooses the former, Kaiyo begins to glow with a blue light. Or if she chooses the latter, she glows with a red light. Both fade away after a few seconds, leaving Kaiyo subtly changed. Yuishoko Activated State Appearance: In her activated state, the kanji for Sakusei had disappeared from her eye and reappeared on her cheek in a larger font, where it glows a bright blue. Or, the kanji for Hakai had disappeared from his eye and reappeared on his cheek in a larger font, where it glows a bright red. Other than that, nothing seems to be different for Aito- it only becomes evident when he uses his powers. Yuishoko Abilities: If she chooses Sakusei, Kaiyo has these powers: Energy Construct - Kaiyo can create things out of bright blue energy through her own mind. Currently, these are limited to weak bolts of energy that damage enemies and shields to protect herself. Enhanced Speed- Kaiyo is much faster than a normal human in her Activated state. Flight- By creating a halo of blue energy around her, Kaiyo can fly through the air like a bird. This is good for various tactics and the such, but also makes her an easy target. Or, if she chooses Hakai, she has these powers: Energy Blast: Kaiyo can create shockwaves from red energy through her own minds. Currently, she can blast objects away from her and make weak shields. Enhanced Strength: Kaiyo is much stronger than a normal human in her Activated state. Charge: By swathing herself in red energy, Kaiyo can bullrush enemies and damage people if she comes in contact with them. She is quite durable in the form, but, she cannot turn while doing so and is prone to crashing into objects, which can still hurt her.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Aito Fukuzawa]Personal Info Username: 2c33f3d Name: Aito Fukuzawa Gender: Male Age: 16 Blood Type: AB+ Date of Birth: June 18th Hobby: soccer and playing the alto sax Appearance: Aito, like his sister, is tall and supple. However, while she is slim, he is more bulked out- with muscle, not fat. Muscled well from grueling soccer practices, he is not afraid to show off his guns and generally dresses in a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans worn through at the edges. He also has brown hair- many people, Aito himself included, think his dad is from the West. However, his mother has stayed shut on the subject, so over time Aito has quietly let the subject go. It is trimmed short and close-cropped, though Aito does allow the ends of it to curl outwards slightly in an attempt to make it look cooler. Whether it has done so or not is open to debate, but in any case the hair is a good frame for his well-boned face, with large brown eyes like his sister and a small, usually grinning smile to match. Personality: Brash and confident, Aito is able to walk into a room and immediately make friends. A bit on the loud side but friendly and good-humored enough, he is a good person to have around. However, he tends to be reckless and hot-tempered- something that might help him on the soccer field, but can be dangerous elsewhere. With a burning passion for sports and a indifference for the arts, Aito tends to get into disagreements with Kaiya about their focuses, which is all the more amusing given the twins tend to agree on most other things. They both like to joke around and have fun, and are essentially "people persons". Overprotective of his sister, he often takes offense at slights aimed at her and is, essentially her guardian, although Kaiya is no shrinking violet either. Aito also tries (and mostly fails) to be a ladies' man. While he sees himself as a slick and smooth man-about-town, the truth is most girls reject his advances, sometime that always makes Kaiya giggle. Nonetheless, Aito is nothing but persistent, and spends a lot of time "flirting" with the opposite sex. Bio: Aito and his twin sister, Kaiya, were born to Ayumi Sasaki, a girl fresh out of college who had a one-night stand at a wild party which resulted in the twins.

She keeps it tied in a ponytail at all times, and if her hair is down, then that's indication that she is not in a good mood. She wears dark red eyeliner, with wings, which contrasts highly with her pale skin. Her generic brown eyes are often concealed with contacts that change the color. She likes to wear red nail polish, with a small flame design. She often wears a ruby bracelet given to her by her mother, after she passed away. The bracelet also helps keep her Yuishoko in check, and allows for her to override the sentience. Otherwise, Blaze completely controls her abilities, and it can kill her if it wants.[hr][b]Personality:[/b] The most noticeable part of Sakumi’s personality is her almost unconscious arrogance. She carries herself highly and with a good amount of self-esteem, which can be somewhat off-putting to people she first meets, due to her potentially rubbing them the wrong way. However, Sakumi always means well in the end: she’s just rather bad at putting other people before herself sometimes. She also tends to be rather stubborn, being unwilling to change her ideas unless someone drills into her head that it sucks. If it comes to this, Sakumi also tends to get uncharacteristically aggressive and defensive, due to the threat towards her pride. She also has a tendency to become whiny whenever environmental conditions become uncomfortable. [hr][b]Bio:[/b] Sakumi was spoiled ever since birth. Her parents bought her anything and everything she wanted. She always had state-of-the-art technology, and the newest fashions. Her parents were both rich; her mother was a lawyer, and her father, Hakuko (白粉), worked in the acting business. Both parents raked in millions in a year, however, they rarely saw their daughter. She would often stay at her friends' house, or host parties at her own. At only 15, she had her first drink, and on that same night, she also lost her virginity. Two months later, her father came home, bearing bad news: her mother was shot and killed after winning a case. The shooter had already been incarcerated, but the gunshot wound was lethal. Her mother died within hours. About a year later, her father was arrested. He had continued in acting, however, he started dealing drugs on the side. Sakumi remained home, with the maids and butlers catering to her. However, one by one, they quit, until Sakumi was left to live on her own. It took her a while to get used to working, but she managed. While she cleaned out her father's room, she found a stash of fireworks in the closet. Curious, she set them off, enamored by the colors and explosions. She began making her own, also creating bombs in the process. She keeps them hidden, and knows they're illegal. It was during this bomb-making time that she discovered her Yuishoko. She had accidentally detonated a bomb in her hand, but miraculously, the explosion didn't hurt her at all. The only mark was on the palm of her hand, in the shape of the kanji for flame. She tried wrapping it, thinking it would go away. However, it never healed. After a month of having the mark, she started hearing voices. It spoke to her, and introduced itself. It spoke archaic Japanese, and Sakumi had a difficult time understanding it. However, she learned who, or what it was, and it explained the concept of Yuishoko to her. She learned some of her basic abilities, including Bakuhatsu, but still makes bombs. She says, "it's fun. The time it takes to make one, and the final result... I love it."[hr][b][u]Yuishoko Info[/u][/b][hr][b]Does Your Character Already Have a Yuishoko?:[/b] Yes[hr][b]Does Your Character Already Know How to Use His/Her Yuishoko?:[/b] To an extent.[hr][b]Does Your Character Already Know That He/She is a Next Generation Keeper?:[/b] No[hr][b]Yuishoko Name:[/b] 炎の手 / ほのおのて / Honoo no Te / Blaze Hand (ほのお / Blaze)[hr][b]Yuishoko Type:[/b] Keijo[hr][b]Yuishoko Sealed State Appearance:[/b] The kanji for flame (炎) is located on the palm of her left hand. She often feels burning pain from it at night. Blaze often talks to her, speaking in archaic Japanese, giving Sakumi a difficult time understanding.[hr][b]Yuishoko Activation:[/b] Sakumi simply allows Blaze to activate; it is sentient and makes its own decision. However, if she wants to "override" this sentience, she simply says the name of her Yuishoko while the palm of her hand is directly aligned above or below her face. In either situation, the flame kanji on the palm of her hand transfers to her forehead.[hr][b]Yuishoko Activated State Appearance:[/b] The kanji for flame (炎), located on her palm moves to her forehead, and glows a bright red. Her pupils disappear, and her body temperature nearly doubles.[hr][b]Yuishoko Abilities:[/b] 爆発 / ばくはつ / Bakuhatsu / Explosion [i]Sakumi's most basic and self-explanatory ability. She she can let out as much as 6 joules of energy in an explosion, which is about as much power as 6 sticks of dynamite. She is not hurt by the explosion, but a significant amount of "Pride" is lost, and using this ability too much causes Sakumi to lose control of her Yuishoko. The sentient being of Blaze will take control, and she risks killing herself.[/i] 燃やして / もやして / Moyashite / Burning [i]Similar to the Bakuhatsu, but much more focused. The explosion becomes focused into one shot of fire. This also drains "Pride" from her, more than Bakuhatsu.[/i][/spoiler] [spoiler=Desperado Finale/Takeo Mizushima]Personal Info Username: Desperado Finale Name: Takeo Mizushima Gender: Male Age: 16 Blood Type: B+ Date of Birth: December 1st Hobby: Not doing anything, naps, resting, lying in…oh what am I kidding? He’ll take a nap anywhere and enjoy it. [spoiler=Appearance (Too lazy to figure out a good appearance and type it out so I found a picture of Shizuo I love. I’M STRAIGHT I SWEAR!):] This except extremely drowsy looking. [img] http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/18900000/Shizuo-Heiwajima-heiwajima-shizuo-18933476-713-1024.jpg [/img] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Takeo is your all around lazy good for nothing. He never takes anything seriously, he seems to be near emotionless, and the only thing he really seems to care for is sleep even in class. People are amazed he goes to school even though he just sleeps most of the time. People are even more amazed that he gets no grade lower than an A-. He lets everything slide not really giving too much of a crap for whatever might get most people mad. He also never seems to give enough of a crap to apologize for something he may have done. All he’d give is a shrug and then maybe just go back to sleep. During the rare moments Takeo isn’t asleep he’s easily distracted and bored. When he’s asked a question he’ll usually give an honest blunt answer but when he lies…well you can’t really tell since he always sounds the same. All this tends to gets him into a lot of trouble with just about everybody but he’s still a pretty likeable guy. Not to everybody though. Takeo is also extremely adaptive. To sum things up he’s lazy, uncaring, unemotional, unserious about just about everything, blunt, adaptive, and gets people pissed almost all the time while avoiding that himself. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:] The Mizushima family had always been an extremely rich and prosperous family. A very famous family known for the large island resort they own a mile out into the pacific. Also unbeknownst to the public they’re an abnormally cruel and selfish family. If you were a member of the main branch you’d be set for the rest of your life. Takeo was a member of the Ine family, a very poor family, which served the Mizushimas. Him and his two siblings were severely ridiculed and harassed by all their cousins. His parents couldn’t take it and when he was 7 they killed themselves. The Mizushimas decided to take the three in on 5 conditions. If any three failed then they would all be kicked They continue to serve them as they did before. 2) The three be tutored and no grade can be below an A-. 3) The eldest of the three (Takeo) be trained in all sorts of martial arts and fighting styles. 4) At the age of 15 Takeo will fight three of the strongest heirs to the family to decide who will be the heir. 5) Will be known when the 4th is complete. They accepted and all worked hard to meet the requirements. Takeo worked the hardest. Working to become strong while still maintaining his grades. The day came where he finally faced off against his three cousins. They thought it would go quickly and underestimated him. After a long fight he finally won. The fifth condition was revealed. 5) Fight the enemy so we don’t have to send in our real beloved family to be killed. Oh, and win. It'll be painfully obvious who those enemies are so even an Ineot like you could tell. Like the other objectives he accepted without hesitation. He just wanted to protect his siblings and give them a good life that the Mizushimas could. Minus all the ridicule of course. He hasn't been told about the enemies and just assumes it's some rival family. He doesn't like the idea of killing anybody but if it's to help his siblings he'll do it. The amount of constant training and studying that most of the time goes late into the night has increased ever since.[/spoiler] Yuishoko Info Does Your Character Already Have a Yuishoko?: Yes. Does Your Character Already Know How to Use His/Her Yuishoko?: Yes. Does Your Character Already Know That He/She is a Next Generation Keeper?: No. He doesn't actually know that much. Just fight enemies and that's all he needs to know. Yuishoko Name: Chain of Souls Yuishoko Type: Kaho Yuishoko Sealed State Appearance: Looks like a dog tag key chain. On the dog tag are the words Soul Chain. Yuishoko Activation: First he’ll yawn and then he’ll say, “I’m tired. Let’s take a nap you’ll never wake up from.” Yuishoko Activated State Appearance: Two chains coming out of his jacket’s sleeves with ninjatos attached to the end of them. The ninjatos can detach whenever he wants them too. [spoiler=Yuishoko Abilities:] -Chain Field: The chains extend to their max length and wrap around the surrounding area. -Gravity Chain: Gravity around the chain is reduced to decrease the weight of the chains. Only the chains coming out of his sleeve even seem to have any weight to them. When used with chain field the area the chain surrounds loses 7/8 of its gravity so that it becomes similar to the moon’s. -Soul Stealer: When the chain or ninjatos come into contact with an enemy it will steal a small part of their soul. When used with chain field it’ll very slowly steal small parts of the opponent’s soul. Being in the area for an extended period of time will cause the opponent to feel major exhaustion or perhaps exhaustion. Even longer periods of time will cause complete soul loss and the will body just give up. Ways that souls can be returned to their owner are Takeo returns them himself, he's knocked out by the owner, he dies, or the chain is destroyed (which is hard). His death will release all the souls into the environment which will basically becaome ghosts and cause major problems. Is chain being broken won't release all of the souls but just a good amount. Souls released can be reclaimed more easily than how he normally takes it. -Soul Manipulation: He can use the souls or parts of souls in various ways such as adding to the length of his blade or grinding on the chains. Even give it back to the owner. If enough souls are collected then attacks using them are possible. -Soul Healer: Takeo can sacrifice some of the souls from his collection to heal himself and comrades.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Characters][b][u]Protagonists[/u][/b] Shinji Kimura Minawe Kanigawa Keith Kagetsu-Lucine Kaiya Fukuzawa Aito Fukuzawa Sakumi Kawai Takeo Mizushima [b][u]Antagonist[/u][/b] Ryoko Hanazawa [b][u]Others[/u][/b] Hitoshi Kimura (Shinji's Father) Midori Kimura (Shinji's Little sister) Hideaki Kimura (Shinji's Grandfather) Ayumi Fukuzawa (Kaiya & Aito's Mother) Daisuke Fukuzawa (Kaiya & Aito's Stepfather) Rin Mizushima (Takeo's Little Sister) Ken Mizushima (Takeo's Little Brother)[/spoiler] [spoiler=Major Battles][b][u]Shinji Kimura[/u][/b] [b][u]Ryoko Hanazawa[/u][/b] [b][u]Keith Kagetsu-Lucine[/u][/b] [b][u]Minawe Kanigawa[/u][/b] [b][u]Kaiya Fukuzawa[/u][/b] [b][u]Aito Fukuzawa[/u][/b] [b][u]Sakumi Kawai[/u][/b] [b][u]Takeo Mizushima[/b][/u][/spoiler] [spoiler=Arcs/Seasons/Chapters/Etc.][b][u]Arc 1[/u][/b] [u]Season 1[/u] Opening: [url=http://www.videolog.tv/video.php?id=592511]Gravity Ø by Aqua Timez[/url] Opening Lyrics: [url=http://coolcwer.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/gravity-0-english-translation/]Gravity Ø English Lyrics[/url] Ending: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohKhqw9A_KU]Kizuna by Charcoal Filter[/url] [spoiler=Chapter 1: Heirlooms and a Destiny]In the town of Tanimori, Shinji Kimura and a group of other new generation keepers of the mystical Yuishoko are about to start a new year of school at Kurusawa High School.
