I might make a 2nd character. I do have one in mind and for Tsukuyomi. Not sure yet, but if I do, my 2nd character will follow yours :)

Besides, maybe now that Amaterasu has three followers, there should be an halt for anymore followers in that said faction until the rest are even?
 
huh? I haven't made anyone yet.
 
I'm planning to make one for Tsukuyomi. The issue is that for whatever reason I can't write for shit today >.< Might put her up tomorrow where I'll hopefully have gotten enough sleep to put thoughts into words.

Name: Naomi Tsukino
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Rank: Tanto
Faction: House of the Moon's Pull


Weapon of choice: "The Winter Ox" Tanto (Image link in name)

Skills/abilities/powers:
Big-boned: Naomi holds the beautifully simple ability to use her strength. As one can tell, it is rather useful for moving large objects or hitting people really, really hard. In order to reach this level of strength, Naomi had to train, and consequently her endurance and stamina have increased in tow.

Yeah, I can do that: Due to the strange mixture of rough living in the streets and high-end, delicate Geisha training, Naomi knows an inexhaustible plethora of skills and hobbies, from playing traditional Japanese instruments to properly looking after a wound. This isn't to say that she's able to do everything perfectly; she is a jack-of-all trades but does not really specialise in anything.

Cold Fire (TO BE DISCOVERED): Probably going to be as surprising for Naomi as it will for everyone else, Naomi holds a latent ability to manipulate blue fire. It can catch onto objects and people but creates frostbite instead of burns, freezing anything it comes into contact with. It can be put out like normal fire, and can be produced as a light source from any part of the body. The biggest and most obvious drawback is that Naomi will start off with little to no control over this ability whatsoever. Once she masters the control, then the energy drain is harmonious with the lunar phases. If a new moon is in the air then the ability will be overbearingly draining to use, whereas a full moon can cause incredibly large and long ranged spurts of cold fire at will with very little drawback.

Personality:
Naomi is, first and foremost, a fiercely loyal character to Tsukuyomi. Her morally ambiguous nature is not easy to read under the laid-back, warm and friendly reception Naomi gives out; something which borders on laziness. Do not be fooled, however; this calm aura is very easily broken as she reverts into old habits of insults, threats and even physical blows if coerced into violence. She prefers the plain, blunt and honest route, and this contrasts sharply with the subtle persuasion and sleight-of-hand that every follower of Tsukuyomi is meant to have. A dislike of pomp and circumstance has alienated her from her geisha fellow followers, but her willingness to perform any action - regardless of circumstance - has made up for this fact. She is as stubborn as a mule, too - once she sets her mind on an idea it would be incredibly difficult to deviate her from it.

The power-house of the dojo, Naomi believes that a strong right hook is a far more useful tool than a set of nimble fingers. She holds some faint regard for the delicate art of manipulation, but her preference will always lie in a choke-hold and a few well-placed threats. She particularly enjoys seeing progression and development within people, including herself, and consequently enjoys pushing herself and others to strive for better achievements. Despite this, Naomi also believes it is her unspoken duty to protect those weaker than her. She has a soft spot for children.

Brief bio:
Imagine it.

The grimy streets of Kyoto (then called Heian-kyo), pressed in between the teahouse-turned brothel and a sleazy tavern, a worn-down geisha with no name abandoned a screaming baby girl in a box and a note. The nameless child was taken in by the owner of the teahouse out of pity, and given her title - Naomi. Ironically meaning pleasant and agreeable, the little tyke grew up in a world where skinned knees and hard work and bruised knuckles were the norm, pondering over whether or not you would have a dinner in the evening and how to avoid a sluggish punch to the face from some cocky ragamuffin. Naomi did not have time to be wondering about whether or not life had more to offer her. She was busy dragging crates along the dirt path to the back of the rickety inn or skidding down the gravel-strewn slopes towards a small nearby koi pond to spit into it over the bridge with her childhood friends.

At age eleven, she was sent out - upon request from whomever sent her into the cold, dark paths of the city in the first place, the mother she never had - to the House of the Moon's Pull, the domain of the lunar child Tsukuyomi. For the first time in her life, Naomi was faced with a way of living that did not involve a fist and a threat, and she was repulsed by the formality of it all. She made little progress and practically no friends in her training. She did not know how to interact with the other girls in the temple and consequently resorted to violence, quickly earning the title of "bully".

Only a few years afterwards in the midst of her teens did the other disciples realise that Naomi truly was alone in her way of thinking, and the tables turned sharply. Naomi put up with verbal abuse over her social class, lack of immediate family and friends, and her inability to progress like the other disciples. Then it turned to stolen items and torn geisha ropes, make-up tossed into the toilets and notes scrawled in ink and pinned to her living quarters. 14 years after Naomi was born, she started to wish for the grip of death.

And then, in some of her darkest moments, the most unlikely ally took Naomi in. The shock was more than enough; after all, the novice was very used to only seeing Tsukuyomi personally when Naomi had attacked another student or required disciplinary training. As it turns out, the God Slayer was watching Naomi's rapid decline and encroaching depression with intrigue and once she realised that Naomi was incapable of improving on her own, Tsukuyomi intervened.

Initially, it was private tuition; Naomi did not yet have enough self-restraint to teach herself the ways of the Geisha and Tsukuyomi worked with Naomi in order to instil some femininity into the little brawler. But as the lessons continued, Naomi noticed the shifting moods and offered a shoulder to lean on. Soon she became the object of jealousy among the students and whilst Naomi was improving at a faster rate than before, it was still not sufficient to surpass her novice rank. It did not matter; everyone knew that Naomi was the 'teacher's pet' and tried to knock her down a peg or two.

This struggle continued for several years but as new students came in, the 'new' Naomi was there to greet them and help them settle down; something Naomi was never given when she joined. Her reputation improved and her relation with the God Slayer only continued to improve. Now, Naomi is beginning to realise the folly of preventing her own progression in order to amuse an immortal being; painfully aware of her aging and unwilling to let go of her new best friend, Naomi now plans to become a God Slayer before she dies, so "Tsuku" would not have to shoulder the burden of immortality on her own for all eternity.


Other:
- Naomi can hold her liquor better than anyone she's challenged before.
- Naomi has a particular fondness for children.

I'll have to work on it, but @CrimDemon - could we figure something out between these two? I'd love Naomi to be the difficult student. The fact she's 25 and still a novice should be a glaring issue. I'll PM you about it.

Name: Koji Io
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Rank: Tanto
Faction: Can be found currently at The House of the Moon's Pull. (To be decided if he stays or goes to Orochi after a while...Orochi seems all alone...v.v)
Weapon of choice: Ranged weapons.

Currently uses a Tanto and chain as his primary weapon.

Secondary : kaiken

Skills/abilities/powers:

Telekinesis.

Stealth

Dexterous

Silver tongue

Highly perceptive intellect

Infiltration and sabotage

Personality: A naturally playful trickster, who's tricks are known to never leave a sour impression on their “unfortunate victims” as this is often how he shows he is comfortable with people. Always one for a good laugh with good friends, he would rather be exploring and having crazy adventures then sit around. He is a social butterfly not really belonging anywhere yet while having a place everywhere, adept in diplomacy and a tongue that goes from a skillful savant of word play to a madman who says exactly what's in His mind, yes even if that's to ask about the possibility of him turning into a goat and being thrown against the wall by an Oni....yes it's happened…. Multiple times… and it has happened in a blink of an eye...


He isn't afraid of standing to anyone….but due to His unserious nature these outbursts are often met with laughter by those around him thinking he's jesting..but those who truly understand him will know when he is being serious about something…however rare it is.

……..A good lad who has a welcoming air about him …..though…...

His short term memory leaves something to be desired...and tends to get him into trouble when it comes to his responsibilities...even when he tries his hardest to remember something..he's doomed to forget it. .Be it names, appointments, or anything really .but throughout his forgetfulness, he has never broken a promise, even if he doesn't remember what he promised….

His spontaneous yet intellectual thought process often leave not only those around him confused but also himself...

Brief bio: Not much to be known about him. He's been at the temple for as long as he can remember….which isn't saying much….he does slightly remember a village but other than a rice paddy on a hill and a kid around his age being his best friend he has no memory of where he comes from, who or what he is. Or who His family is, this lack of self history upsets him at times and it can easily be seen when he mopes about.

As far as i know, my character's faction is the only one that gives a second weapon. Plus, the title of the rank also doubles as what weapon you have.
 
Right, my CS is done(?). Please tell me if anything needs fixing.

The House of the Moon's Pull provides only one weapon (the kaiken), unless you had a weapon prior or bought a second weapon while under Tsukuyomi's care. I'm reasonably laid back about that kind of thing, but say so next time.
 
To clear this up before people think the worst about the geisha community, at least the ones that don't read up on these kinds of things. True geisha are not prostitutes, alright? Yes, they do entertain guests, but it only involves chatting, playing instruments, dancing. Geisha do flirt, but it's not "sexual" flirting. And there are male geisha (they are the Japanese equivalent of a jester), to just throw that out there, so I don't get only females joining my faction. OK?

K will change it to a tanto and chain when I wake up.
