[RaineSensei]

Name:
Lairen

Gender:
Male

Type:
Yokai

Race:
Komainu ("Lion-Dog")

Age:
Slightly over 2000

Appearance:

Human Appearance

Komainu Form

*Ignore the person*

Powers/Abilities:
Lairen is fairly good at defense, yet his true skill lies in offense. He's extremely quick and skilled with his weapon, easily able to maneuver his body around to attack efficiently. When he swings his blades, he creates a small, yet sharp gust of wind that may or may not cut the opponent, depending on their distance from his claws and the opponent themselves. Though he can't create any shields like Sairen does, he can easily block attacks with his claws.

Weapons:

Spoiler

*Totally didn't take this from NG*

Noteworthy Possessions:

Mask

A mask is usually worn to cover their faces and keep their faces concealed.

Clan:
N/A - Neutral

Personality:
Lairen is a very energetic and laid-back person, which is odd for a guardian. He's a bit of a chatterbox and because of that, he ends up annoying everyone. However, he's still a good person who deeply cares for humans. Watching over others, taking care of them, and making them feel secure give him joy in life. Despite being a yokai himself, he finds it hard to deal with them, especially if they hate humans. Though he's not particularly bloodthirsty, he does enjoy a good fight once in a while.

History:
He was a guardian along with his sister for hundreds of years, and as one, he watched over those who entered the shrine and protected the shrine itself. On some days, people would leave gifts for him in front of his statue, thus creating his love for humans. His days went by quickly and soon, the shrine was abandoned and taken down, replaced by a mere office building. But even so, he couldn't being himself to hate the humans, who had so kindly left him gifts without need to. Instead, he continued to watch over them. Every once in a while, someone would ask them to join their clan, but wishing not to cause any trouble, he'd always refused.

Name:
Sairen

Gender:
Female

Type:
Yokai

Race:
Komainu ("Lion-Dog")

Age:
Slightly Over 2000

Appearance:

Human Appearance

*Her eyes will be played as yellow.*

Komainu Form

*Ignore the person*
Yes, this is the same picture because they're twins. However, Sairen's red fur is lighter and more vibrant.

Powers/Abilities:
Sairen excels in defense more so than her brother despite the both of them being guardians of a shrine. She is able to create a shield with a simple gesture of her hand. Though she is incredibly skilled in defense, her shields have a limit to how much they can take. But if she and Lairen were put up a shield together, it would be nearly impenetrable. This ability is only used when she is in her human appearance.
Besides that, she has an immense amount of strength and speed. Her main weapon in that form are her claws and teeth.

Weapons:
She wields two kunais attached to each other by a chain.

Noteworthy Possessions:

Mask

A mask is usually worn to cover their faces and keep their faces concealed.

Clan:
N/A - Neutral

Personality:
On the contrary to her brother, Sairen is a serious person who dislikes fooling around, which usually causes a fight between her and her brother. Even so, the two still care for each other deeply. Though Lairen has a love for humans, Sairen bears a small sense of hatred towards them. To her, humans could be just as bad as a yokai, like when they would wreck their shrine for no reason. Although she may appear to be docile and quiet, she wields quite a temper.

History:
Along side her brother, Sairen guarded the shrine. Her brother watching over the people coming to the shrine while she watched over the building itself, making sure it was always in its best condition. There were days when the young people would graffiti and vandalize it, leading her to not hate, but feel nothing towards humans. Once the shrine was demolished and replaced, she felt like she had lost any meaning for her life. Her shrine, which she worked so hard to protect and care for, had been replaced for the humans selfish wish. She was angry, but fortunately not enough to kill. To fill her empty days, she explored a bit, meeting all sorts of yokai, both good and bad. Whenever she was asked to join a clan, she refused because her brother wished to stay as they were.

With this acceptance, I'll fix my application up and rev this RP up.

Accepted.

 

[Sircumstance]

Are you still open for another character?

 

[Crow]

We are always open unless otherwise stated.

 

[Sircumstance]

Name: Hotaru Lin-Lee

Gender: Male

Type: Yokai

Race: Phoenix

Age: Unknown

Appearance:

Powers/ Abilities:

Fire Manipulation
A natural born fire manipulator, Hotaru can create, shape and manipulate fire. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different. In his human form, he may use fire to create a set of armour for protection.

Weapons:

Clan:
None.

Personality:
Cold and aloof, Hotaru is a man who'd witness many tragedies in his life that'd cultivated his personality. He prefers to stay clear of conflict, knowing that one wrong move might result in dire consequences. A man of few words, it is his intent not to be involved in too deeply with anyone. He knows that he'll probably outlive anyone of them and seeing them dying takes a heavy toll on himself.

History:

Not much is known about Hotaru except that he's one of the oldest yokai in the world. He had lived through most of the major conflicts in his lifetime and carries many secrets with him. He is currently wanted by the humans who is keen on studying his immortality.

Others:

None at this point in time.

Sorry if it's kinda suckish.

 

[Crow]

Phoenixes are Western beasts. Are you referring to its supposed oriental counterparts, the Japanese Hou-ou/Chinese Fenghuang?

 

[Sircumstance]

I was thinking more of suzaku but decided to use Phoenix instead for easier understanding

 

[Crow]

Vermillion Bird, Zhuque, Suzaku, legendary beast in a legion of four. Kinda different from Phoenixes. Well, this is interesting. I wish the History was longer, but this is acceptable.

 

[Sircumstance]

Well the nature of it is similar. His history wise, I'm hoping to reveal it further in the roleplay so I'm not showing too much right now.

 

[Crow]

Alright then. I understand.

 

[Crow]

Alright, it seems that I must retreat to my bed and thus, the IC thread will not be today. Instead, I will answer potential questions of 'where am I supposed to start?'

Ibaraki-doji will be chilling outside as usual, and a majority of the Hyakki Yagyo will be staying at HQ or training somewhere, since there are no current missions to fulfil for the time being

The Tsukumogami Forces will mostly be inside the clan HQ, with a few exceptions who are scouting around to recruit recently-birthed Tsukumogami.

As for the other clans, the clan leaders can decide.

It's here! I'll modify the first post tomorrow.

 

[Lucian]

(If you are still taking in people?)

Name: Zakku

Gender: Male

Type: Yokai

Race: Tengu

Age: 1773

Appearance:

(Primal Form)
-Just like the Picture Suggests he is a Aviary Tengu, taking the form of a slender Crow, Standing at around 240cm tall and weighing around 130kg he is a agile and extremely intelligent fighter/tracker.

(Human Form...for general Life)
- Zakku would look like any other being in Japan, Standing at around 194cm high and weighing around 87kg he is nothing out of the ordinary, he has jet black hair which he usually keeps down, pale skin with two scars on each of his eyes around the lower outer parts, Perfect skin and slightly pointed ears (Partial Manifest of his Primal Form). His clothes mostly consist of a Long Sleeve charcoal black cotton shirt, Dark blue jeans and Black Skate shoes, He also carries a 1m Micro-sharp Katana yet it remains gone until called upon by him.

Powers/Abilities: Being a Tengu and often mistaken for war in his past he is a Master in Martial Arts and Close combat of every single handed weapon, This gives him the ability to Give him dead lock aim when striking with his weapon allowing him to hit exactly where he intended to with lightning speed at the cost of his stamina as it uses a great amount of energy. Another ability would the the well known of his Flash Step, his movements being that quick he can literally seem to teleport from one spot to the other within a 100m Radius. One of his last abilities given by his acute senses is his eye sight and tracking, being able to see the past from simple traces of people in the area also gives him the sense of tracking any creature he wishes, this causes great strain on his mind leading to head aches and even passing out if not in his Primal Form

Weapons: A single 1m Long Katana in Human and in Primal the Katana Extends into a 1.8m Long Black and he wields two. One in each hand

Noteworthy Possessions: The Katanas and his Forearm Armour, This is what allows his Dead Lock Accuracy when in combat which was given to him upon his creation

Clan: Hyakki Yagyo

Position in Clan: Warrior

Personality: Silent and Relentless, He kills those who would be named his foes and protects those he is entrusted to, without the duty he has he would end himself, sworn to duty and nothing else he will do what ever he must to achieve his goal.

History: In the days of old when war was everywhere, Zakku was entrusted to watch over the destined leaders who would make today what it is. If the Leader was near death or was plotting to be removed, he was the one who would end the plot before it could flourish and make Zakku fail his duty, saving dozens of Emperors and Generals in his time he earnt the name "Gurëto-Otchä" or Great Watcher, he was the one who people would ask to watch over there sons in war and in life, However over time the asking stopped and so did his knowledge, seeing as he no longer had duty to protect individuals he protected the people as a whole, should someone be about to die and it was not his time Zakku would protect them. Taking on a Host near death which became his human form he now watches silently from the streets and roof tops. Awaiting his next command


Others: N/A

 

[Crow]

I'll be glad to accept.

 

[Lucian]

I'll be glad to accept.

Awesome :) So how would we start?

 

[Crow]

After her session of hanging outside, Ibaraki-doji will return. You can post about what your character does while waiting, or have him do a minor task of helping civilians out on his way.

 

[Accelerator]

Name: Suina Shiroyuki

Gender: Female

Type: Yokai

Race: Yuki Onna

Age: 1700

Appearance:

Standing at a height of 4'9", Suina isn't exactly blessed on the height department and she has a complex about it too. Her bust size falls safely on the B range but she pays little mind to it compared to her height dilemma. Her crimson eyes are like red pools of blood, symbolizing the remaining warmth left after she became a Yuki-Onna and are a contrast to her pale skin tone. She allows her long luxurious white hair to flow naturally as she enjoys the feeling of it swaying in the gentle breezes she creates. She can often then not be seen donning the customary white kimono worn by Yuki-Onnas with a black obi.

Powers/Abilities:

- Has complete mastery over the wind, water and ice elements

- Can turn an area of up to a one mile radius into a winter wonderland or a freezing hell on a whim

- Can instantly create gentle breezes, powerful gusts of wind and even blizzards

- Can create anything out of ice

- Levitation

- Regeneration (Limited to cold areas)

- Has the ability to transform into a blizzard as a defensive measure or a means of escape
- She can achieve a form pseudo-teleportation within the area she turned into a frozen wasteland.

- She can also subject anybody trapped in the frozen wasteland into various types of hallucinations

- A very old legend within their kind speaks of the tears shed by Yuki-Onnas being able to heal any wound or injury no matter how fatal though this has yet to be proven as this ability has descended into nothing more than an urban legend even to her own kind.

- For some reason, she can summon magical exploding penguins as her minions, something that baffles her even to this day.

Weapons: Suina typically creates her own weapons made out of ice and the tracing time varies depending on its complexity and quality. This usually takes a few seconds for quick traces up to 15 seconds for high-quality weapons. Wounds dealt by her weapons tend to freeze on contact.

She typically uses whips, chains and blades in close quarters combat and although she's shown considerable prowess in close quarters combat, she still pretty much prefers long ranged combat.

Her long ranged weapons come in many forms, from simple sharp-edged snow fabrications to a bow made out of Eternal Ice, ice that no fire can melt but considerably hard to create in large amounts. The arrows used as ammunition for the bow has a special ability that drastically lowers the movement speed of its targets.

Sometimes, she uses her umbrella as a bludgeoning weapon though it is more effective as a shield against attacks, especially fire attacks.

Noteworthy Possessions:

- She always carries a wagasa or a japanese oil-paper umbrella with her.


Clan: Hyakki Yagyo

Position in Clan: Warrior/Maid/Servant

Personality:

Stoic, dependable and calm, Suina, contrary to her appearance, acts rather maturely and as a sisterly figure to most of the clan members, She listens to anyone's troubles and if asked, she is willing to give helpful advice. Ever since joining the Hyakki Yagyo, she has taken it upon herself to serve her clan to the best of her abilities which led her to start doing most of the household chores from cooking to cleaning and even gardening. She isn't particularly close to any of the other clan members aside from Ibaraki-doji whom she is especially fond of because they share the same dilemma. In fact, contrary to her dependable nature, she rarely speaks to anyone in the Hyakki Yagyo unless addressed to first. This is largely due to the ostracization she experienced from her brethren because of her unique appearance.

She has a complex about her height and would not hesitate to turn any unfortunate individual who mocks her height into a popsicle.

History:

Suina was a rather childish and spoiled girl back when she was alive. She belonged to the family of a wealthy merchant so she basically had everything she wanted that money can buy. She was particularly close to her father but due to the nature of his job, he needs to travel to distant places most of the time, leaving her under the supervision of her abusive step-mother. Ever since her father re-married, her comfortable lifestyle made a complete 180 as she was transformed into a lowly servant by her step-mother. Day in and day out, she was worked like an animal, given little time to rest, and was provided barely enough food to survive. She grew weaker and weaker with each passing day and the only respite she gets from the taxing labor comes when her father returns from his travels. The truth is shrouded from his eyes with a facade since her step-mother would pretend to deeply care for Suina in the presence of her husband. Even at such a young age, she is well-aware the futility of reporting her sufferings to her father as he'd merely dismiss this as a joke. She would later endure this suffering for a few more years before being released from her torment.

Two years had passed since Suina's father had come home. It was only until recently that they got word of him falling dangerously ill on the next town while on his way home. Immediately, she wanted to go to the next town but two obstacles stood in her way. Firstly, a vast mountain range borders her hometown and the next town and secondly, her step-mother forbid her to come along with her. Left with no choice, she decided to set out for the neighboring town by herself. A foolish endeavor that even she was aware would only end in failure but she was determined to see her father if only for one last time.

She, of course, didn't make the journey. Already weakened from the abuse she receives from her step-mother, it was only a matter of time before she met her end in the snowy mountains. It was her regret of failing to see her father in his deathbed that transformed her soul into that of a Yuki-Onna.

However, since her body was underdeveloped compared to other Yuki-Onnas, she became a subject for discrimination among her peers and she was treated far worse than the treatment she received from her step mother. This caused her to isolate herself in the deepest parts of the mountain, away from any possibility of contact from anyone. However, one may choose solitude but nobody can stand it. She finally decided to end her seclusion when she sought to join the Hyakki Yagyo, which was back then still under the leadership of Nurarihyon. She has been faithfully serving the clan ever since and has gradually taken some fondness over Ibaraki-doji who shares the same height as her.



Others:

- She considers Ibaraki-doji as her sister in terms of height.

- Her cooking skills are superb although due to her being a Yuki-Onna, the dishes she serves usually ends up being cold. The ice cream she makes are to die for though.

- She usually summons her penguins to help her with the various household chores she does on a daily basis.​

So, whoever she was out and someone asked about her mom, she always lied. After doing this for years she became quite the expert.
