"At peace with yourself? You will be..."
-Aiko Yasha
Age: 16
Personality:
"Words are empty without action."
Anyone who knows Aiko also knows that she has a warrior's heart. Possessing arguably one of the shortest tempers the Republic has ever seen, she is notorious for exploding into a violent hurricane of rage at the slightest provocation. Oddly enough, she's not much of a screamer when she's mad. Instead, her voice never raises more than a growl or sometimes a brief shout. With an initial emotional range between "slightly irritated" and "murderously livid", Aiko has a hard time getting along with others and making friends. Aiko lives and breaths by the sword, and her main approach to solving problems is, "Hit it
really hard." This mentality makes her extremely reckless and aggressive in almost everything she does.
"Second place is the first loser!"
Aiko is insanely competitive and a very sore loser. She'll never back down from a challenge, no matter how many odds are stacked against her. Some may say she has an unhealthy obsession with being the best, as she's known to lose several days of sleep over any perceived failure she might have had. In terms of fighting skills, Aiko is almost always training to improve, usually for several hours at a time or even all day. She has an inferiority complex to the worst degree, and is never satisfied with her performance in anything, even if she does win.
Not everything is miserable though, as there are quite a few astonishingly easy methods of brightening Aiko's mood. One of which is food. Lots of it. In fact, her ravenous appetite is rumored to be comparable to fifteen grown men, but that's surely hyperbole. Aiko has a habit of eating simply gargantuan meals and then sleeping it all off for a few hours afterwards.
"I don't want to be alone..."
Although she'll never openly admit it, Aiko actually finds herself feeling quite lonely and depressed when no one is around. She'd rather be fighting enemies than be completely isolated. In fact, a tiny, deeply suppressed part of herself wants something more than mere companionship, but her ambitions usually drone that desire out.

Lvl 1 Reign of Anger
-
Aiko does not have a mana bar. Instead, she uses a resource called Rage. Every time Aiko attacks an enemy, deals damage, takes damage, or if her allies take damage, Aiko will generate 5 points of Rage, up to a maximum of 100 points. If Aiko does not generate any rage within three turns, her rage start decaying by 10 points per turn. She can choose to spend 50 rage points to empower one of her moves with an additional effect. Accumulating Rage provides the following buffs:
Angry!: At 20 rage points, Aiko gains the Angry! status, increasing her Stamina, Physical Attack, and Speed by 20%. However, she loses 20% of her maximum Vitality, Physical Defense, Magic Defense, and Alertness.
Furious!: At 50 rage points, Aiko loses the Angry! status and gains the Furious! status. Stamina, Physical Attack, and Speed are increased by 50%, while Vitality, Physical Defense, Magic Defense, and Alertness are reduced by 50%.
Outraged!: At 100 rage points, Aiko loses the Furious! status and gains the Outraged! status. Stamina, Physical Attack, and Speed are increased by 100%, while Vitality, Physical Defense, Magic Defense, and Alertness are decreased by 100%. Empowered moves cost no Rage in this state. This status can only last for three turns, then Aiko loses all of her rage, becomes Exhausted!, and cannot earn
any Rage points until the status is lifted.

Biography:
(Mostly ignore this section for now. My brain is currently derp. Will come back to this later.)
Aiko's earliest and most profound memory is waking up in a muddy ditch during a late-night thunderstorm. She held her head in throbbing waves of agony as her vision swam uncontrollably. When she pulled her fingers away, they were wet and sticky with rain, mud and blood. Aiko remained on her back for several minutes before mustering the strength and willpower to move. With a grunt of pain and effort, the wounded warrior rolled and flopped onto her stomach, and then rose to her hands and knees. The sudden action immediately made her sick, and left her completely coated in grime and unsavory fluids. Aiko would not stand for this. Someone, or something, had ruthlessly beaten her and left her broken form in a tomb of mud and filth to rot. It was the pure seething rage at her defeat and subsequent humiliation that commanded her to crawl. Clutching the thick, soaked grass around her for dear life, Aiko started to drag herself out of the mud pit and up a hill, leaving a red trail behind her. After the longest fifteen minutes of Aiko's life, she found herself on a small dirt road. She doesn't remember anything after, as she had passed back out once she reached the road.
When Aiko came to again, she was in a much more pleasant environment. She was in a white, fluffy bed. She assumed she had been scraped off the ground by a good-willed villager and dropped off at the nearest inn and/or hospital. She appreciated the help, but a part of her didn't like the idea of being dependent on someone else. For a long while after the incident, Aiko suffered from total amnesia. She couldn't remember her name, or anything about herself for that matter, for several days. Eventually, a few key memories returned to her. She knew that her full name was Aiko Yasha, and that she was a battle-hardened soldier that tore down everything in her way. She then regained her swordplay skills, survivalism, and even remembered how to play her small wooden recorder again (although she'll never play it unless she is alone). After about a month of recovery, a new Aiko set out on the world.
Aiko Yasha has spent almost the entirety of her remembered life wandering the vast landscapes of the republic. Without any real recollection of her past, she honestly doesn't know what to do with her life. She picked up the habit of taking extremely odd and random jobs; she'd be a ruthless mercenary one night an a bartender the next. This, however, changed once she reached her current location.
As of the present day, Aiko has one goal drilled into her being: to become a Master of Voluptas.
