  • Name: Ayano Renshin (“Ren”)
    彩乃蓮心

    Age: 17, 2nd year in Senior high school

    G6yNcl9.jpg


    Appearance: Renshin stands at 5’2 (160 cm), and is lithe but with a good muscle definition. She is obviously fit, and has a fair complexion. Unfortunately, she burns rather easily in the sun, and must be conscientious in applying sunscreen or sticking to shades, especially during the height of summer. She has an oval face shape, a slightly upturned nose, and heart shaped lips. Her eyes are a dark gray colour, though may appear pitch black under certain lighting conditions. Ren has straight black hair and sports a pixy cut. Her eyebrows are naturally thin and sparse (and Renshin often fills them in), and easily the most expressive part of her. Whether broody aloofness, sarcastic judgement, or irate discontent, she can pull off the requisite brow movement with nary a thought. Her lips are often pressed into a thin line or downturned and frowning. Outside of the school uniform, Ren tends to wear sporty clothing which outlines and enhances her slim figure. She has next to no accessories, and only occasionally applies some light make-up. For how short her stride is, Renshin is a pretty fast walker even when she’s not in a hurry. Her posture is excellent, her movements graceful, her gestures controlled and fluid. She is the type to sit prim and proper and appear attentive even if she happens to be lost in thought.

    History: The oldest daughter in an upper middle class family, Renshin was raised by strict, perfectionist parents. She always had to put her best foot forward, and only the best results got her their approval. Her parents often warned her of the consequences of failure, and thus achievement became a necessity in Ren’s mind. Any hobby she took up, she was told to do properly (i.e. with full effort and dedication) or not at all. Though even these ‘hobbies’ she didn’t choose for herself; she’s been enrolled in a gymnastics class since a very young age, and has had a music tutor hired for her throughout elementary school. The main reason she was never sent to a private school is because she had two younger siblings, and her parents weren’t rich enough to pay a prestigious schooling for all of them. Instead, they pushed for Renshin to do her best in public school with the aim for her to eventually attend a good university. The upside of public school was that Ren had an easier time being an ace student than she otherwise might have had, but the downside were her parents' severe controlling tendencies. They always warned her away from the ‘wrong sort’ of people. So, in addition to not having as much free time to hang out with others, Renshin’s network was restricted by her parents as well.

    However, more stressful than any of that was the fact that they had decided to have more than one child. More than her. At four years old, she gained a younger brother (Araki), and at seven, a younger sister (Hazakura). Ren was young, and understood this only in the sense that she wasn’t enough for her parents. Renshin didn’t know why she wasn’t enough, but if she had been, they wouldn’t have had any other children, would they have? It took a while for her to accept that her parents’ attention was not just on her any longer. Even then, she felt like her parents were more affectionate to her younger siblings than they had ever been to her. Subsequently, she tried even harder to please them, did even more to be the best. Her efforts paid off; she was one of the top students, a decent violinist, and began attending and winning gymnastic tournaments. Each such achievement got her the affirmation she yearned for. She became an example for her younger brother and sister. Though she eventually learned to tolerate and like her siblings, there remained in her the tiniest bit of jealousy. With age and perspective, the predominant emotions in regard to her siblings became pity and a distant sort of love, however. Her adolescent years, the internet, and a subtle rebelliousness awoke in Ren a hunger for independence, and she is yet working towards gaining it.

    Personality: Renshin is an ambitious and confident young woman, not without due cause. She is driven and tenacious, working hard to accomplish her goals and fulfill her desires. She has high standards, both of herself and others, but is a capable and reliable worker. Ren is one tough cookie. Though admired by some and envied by others, she is yet dissatisfied. She wants to do better, to be better, to have more. She is greedy and possessive of the things that she can claim to be her and hers only. Renshin is highly competitive, but a sore loser. As harsh as she is to others, she’s probably even stricter to herself. She is a very distant, reserved, and cynical person. While Ren is typically polite, she can be sharp-tongued if necessary. She respects authorities, covets power, and is dismissive of those below her. Renshin aspires to independence and autonomy, which in her mind she is guaranteed to gain upon success. Yet, in some ways, she is inexperienced; she has not had much of a chance to be influenced by anyone beside her parents or to truly experience the world.

    Her symbiote will distance her from people even more, making her feel self-satisfied in her self-sufficiency. She will lose her natural wish for closer connections, gradually beginning to feel like she has no need for pesky friendships. Renshin will become patiently vindictive, seething with quiet anger, more bitter, and cruel. She will get a thrilling power-rush from shifting to her Hybrid or Tager form, and will come to crave bloodshed. The tendency for violence and the sadistic mindset will slowly bleed into her human consciousness, which she will initially be wary of and attempt to resist. If and when she inevitably succumbs to that, she may turn to self-harm first. Ren’s confidence will easily turn to arrogance, and her desire to triumph will only strengthen.


  • Vampire

    Natural Weapons:
    Vampires have an exsanguinating touch that causes blood to boil and pout from a living victim. The same mystical energies can also cause inanimate objects to decay, damaging them just as effectively. Vampires also fire terrifying barbed projectiles that are just as damaging as a Nightmare’s ranged attacks. Some vampires can mentally dominate others, causing them to stand by in a stupor, or emit bursts of completely obscuring darkness around them.

    Limit Weapon: Bloodbath - A crimson sphere of energy dropped like a bomb from the air that throws shards of energy for 20 feet in all directions when it bursts on impact. Living things caught within begin hemorrhaging internally and also bleed from their nose, eyes, ears, and cough up blood. This attack doesn’t damage non-living things, passing completely through non-mystical armor. Even powered armor, armored vehicles, and mecha offer no protection, as the attack will pass right through them to injure the people within. Other tagers, including other Vampires, are not immune to this attack.

    Attributes: Strong boosts to agility, perception, and strength. Not nearly as strength-focused as the Nightmare, and a more all-rounder in the same overall weight class. Has the same armor and regenerative ability as a Nightmare.

    Supernatural Abilities: Vampires have wings and can fly. They have the night vision, thermal vision, and the ability to sense life force. They also have enhanced hearing, and sonar.

    Personality Traits: Vampires are sadistic and deadly. They often feel a need to inflict pain and have a literal thirst for blood. Patient and arrogant. Love high places and looking down on others literally as well as figuratively.

    Hybrid Form: The whites of the eyes turn blood red and the irises turn golden. The tager gains their exsanguinating touch attack.

 
Name:
Shibata Kaori 柴田 香織
Age: 17, second year in high school.
Appearance
0ee3f5a1f83c4654ed57372bb6ae6f511eb0f02f.jpg
Kaori has a definite "gyaru" vibe going, with her platinum hair, skimpy clothing, and attitude. Her style and demeanour, combined with her height and slender frame, mean she always stands out in a crowd - not always in a good way.

History: Kaori doesn't have a very happy family life. Her father left a long time ago, when she was in kindergarten, and her mom works long and weird hours as a hostess to keep the family going. Her brother Ryo is a meathead who dropped out of school and gets by in his construction job. Kaori doesn't spend much time at home, preferring to hang out wherever as much as she can.
For all that she stands out and acts like she doesn't care about anything though, she's surprisingly studious. She pretends to slack off in class but she actually spends a lot of time keeping up with her studies. Some of her teachers have noticed, which is why she doesn't get into more trouble than she does - she's got a real shot at going to a decent university if she can keep her grades up. Her secret dream is to study law and get into politics.

Personality: Kaori is cool and distant and affects an air of disdain for just about everything that normies find important. She's quite polarising - a lot of the regular kids can't stand her attitude, but plenty think she rocks. She even has a little fan club among the middle schoolers, which she finds equal parts annoying and endearing. They'll never catch her at it, but she does look out for them.
As time has gone by with her symbiote, though, she has found her act becoming real - she has never felt much sympathy for the petty concerns and jealousies of the crowd, but it's beginning to turn into chilly contempt.

Tager type: Spectre

Appearance:
583c87adaf95d3a9a3956856116f0284.jpg


Natural weapons:
The Spectre form is covered in claws and sharp edges that make even touching it a hazardous prospect; to make it worse, they exude a deathly chill that condenses fluid from the air, which mixes with its noxious secretions to form a solution that's toxic even to non-human beings, let alone simple organics like humans.

Limit Weapon:
Phase Burst - The Spectre phases inside its opponent and then materialises. The target looks stunned for a moment, then starts screaming in agony as the Spectre's sharp-edged surfaces begin to slice its skin open, while its internals are disrupted by the Spectre's own body, and exposed to its toxins. A thick, foul ichor trickles from the rents in its skin, before it all finally bursts apart in a nauseating display of body horror. Think Fist of the North Star if it was directed by David Lynch.

Other supernatural Abilities:
Phasing; obscurement.

Personality traits:
Cold rationality, and a contempt for petty emotions and drives. Kaori will find dredging up empathy for others - never her strongest suit in any case - a challenge. Solutions to problems will seem obvious to her, as she no longer has time for dealing with fear or anxiety. Everything will simply be weighed in terms of utility. But how does one define utility when there is no emotional basis for determining what one values?

Hybrid Form:
Kaori's eyes turn milky-white, as if she's suddenly gone blind - but a moment's inspection will reveal them to be swirling subtly, as if they were filled with clouds. She gains the ability to phase through solid material.
 
Name: Huxley Saint, Hijiri Hakusurī, 聖ハクスリー
Age: Seventeen, Second year in high school.
Appearance:

1586312105430-png.194646

As if a sunbeam had manifested in human form, Hakusurī is an emanation of light. Radiant to a fault, her appearance is wholesome, soft, all natural, and painfully cute.

On the smaller side, her height is offset just by how bright she is. Almost filling a room just by entering it. Always smiling and quite chirrupy, her saccharine presence can become almost painful and nearly always attracts too much attention. Not that she minds...

History:

Gaijin...

It’s not a word that gets used as much these days. War and expansive battlefields have been displacing large portions of the population and anyone with their own means has been able to migrate someplace safer with a sense of normalcy. Combined with the fact that literal aliens exist, the word has fallen out of use. Mostly.

Born to the American Army General Robert J. Saint and former model and influencer Paisley Saint, Hakusurī was both expected to be a twin and a boy. A failure of modern prenatal medicine, Huxley turned out to be neither.

While still a baby, the Saints were both lucky enough and ‘important’ enough to be forced to travel around before finally being settled in Japan. The General often leading and advising from various fronts and his wife none the wiser as she continued to post the daily life of her and her golden child online for dwindling audiences. Multiple blogs, daily photo updates and a love stream with donations going towards various clothing/costumes for the baby who all the while watched with her big baby blues.

It didn’t take long for Hakusurī to grow up, learning far too early on that she was being exploited. It wasn’t abusive in a traditional sense, sort of a soft abuse from her mother who was living through her. She couldn’t play where she wanted, couldn’t do what she wanted, everything was planned and measured out for her. Seeds of resentment were planted, Hakusurī realizing that if she were to have any control over anything it was going to have to be done by manipulating her Mother.

As a child, Hakusurī quickly began to develop a love for times when she could get away from her mother. Exploiting gaps in her schedule and occasionally sneaking away on trips to explore, a love for nature was nurtured. Often found staring at ant colonies under rocks or throwing beetles into spider webs, Harusaki had a love for the creatures that didn’t think like humans did. Cold, alien, little creatures. Her taste for them drawing her towards the dark and creepy but her life wouldn’t allow it to show. If she wanted to keep learning and embracing the things that actually brought her joy, she would have to play the game.

And play she did. By age ten, Hakusurī had her mother wrapped around her little finger. Acting out as a child to get what she wanted evolved into a more subtle and more socially palatable guilt trips and wordplay that gave Hakusurī more power over her mother. A power that Hakusurī relished. She was becoming more and more angry inside and her words became just as sweetly cruel to match. Her dad absent enough and busy enough never to notice the drastic shift in power between the two.

In the outside world, Hakusurī had initially hoped to find some more of the freedom she wanted for herself. But it was more of the same.

People already had their little expectations of her, what and who she was and who she was supposed to be. Rather than change that through interaction, Hakusurī went her own way with it.

Playing into their expectations, Hakusurī played the part of the slightly vapid, dumb foreigner. She spun her webs around this role and let people catch themselves. Her cheery demeanor, can do attitude, involvement in everything and somehow knowing everyone all brought more and more people in close.

She became quite popular this way, gaining admiration and a large following. It almost became too easy to use up and discard the people drawn to her. Younger kids in debt to her, older kids trusting her with secrets they soon regret speaking of. And when she was done with them, those debts would come to light, those secrets would become common knowledge. All the while Hakusurī remained innocent and far too precious and air headed to hav done anything. A harmless girl.

Until the day where she fell in the web of something bigger and better than even her ego thought she was.

It wasn’t a stormy night, but a perfect summer day. Walking home from one of the many clubs she’d been pushed into leading or at least attending, she’d ordered the trio of fellow students she was walking with to go back and get her things she left behind. Using their eagerness to earn favor, Hakusurī dipped away down a side alley and wandered off.

Coming home a week later and apparently no worse for Hakusurī played it off, claiming to spent the night at a non existent friends house. Never telling anyone a word of what she’d experienced.

She’d never expected to fall into a web of something else and hadn’t expected to come out of it as she had. Still painfully unaware of what she’d fallen into, the path she’d taken was sure to make itself evident eventually...

Personality: Hakusurī is that girl that’s just somehow everywhere with everyone. The webs she spins are expansive and well networked. A second year and already a contender for student government, albeit one with a considerable amount of skeletons in her closet.

Hakusurī is nice to everyone, cheerful each day and always willing to volunteer or help whenever she can but none of this comes without a price and the punishment for failure is never forgotten. Devastatingly cruel to those that fail her, she doesn’t make blunt attacks but instead orchestrates elaborate scenarios to hurt people. Deepest secrets are revealed, embarrassing failures are put on display and emotions are toyed with before being dropped.

Of course the golden girl Hakusurī walks away with clean hands but the amount of satisfaction she feels watching someone suffer after she toyed with them was just too amazing. The world wanted to treat her one way and it would be useless to fight it all upfront. She’d win, she’d win in her own way.


Tager type: Widow

Appearance:
64E1B965-5449-4CCD-8383-C018AAA2329A.jpeg

Natural weapons:
The Widow is a mix of a spider and terror. It can move and climb frighteningly fast, hiding in the shadows and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. It can produce webbing capable of restraining all but the strongest targets and can support great weight with ease. Initially caustic as well, the Widow can weaponize its webs or just restrain someone with it. Additionally, the bite of a Widow can paralyze a foe, allowing it to easily overpower a prey for capture, or play with it before killing it. Certain Widows can weaponize their jumping ability to pounce on their foes or use their webbing as personal armor.

Limit Weapon:
Their Limit Weapon, Cocoon, allows them to encase a foe in a, well, cocoon. After that they can decide on what to do with the target: either encase it and have it suffer some minor damage from the caustic threads, or inject them with venom that will liquefy their insides and allow the Tager to drink them.

Other supernatural Abilities:
Web 'slinging', Multi-limbed

Personality traits:
Hakusurī projects what others want to see in her, being what she's expected to be. Over time, this will become more and more difficult as her own person comes into being. Her symbiote instincts mingling with her own, people will be looked at more and more like prey. Issues will likely arise with her lack of concern for the well being of others and while she may be lauded for allowing herself to be who she truly is, will that be a good thing for anyone?

Hybrid Form:
A secondary set of arms emerge from below her primary set, Hakusuri being quite capable with both. Six more slitted eyes appear as well, granting near 360' vision and last but not least are the venomous fangs slipping into place inside her mouth.

  • Name: Setsuna, Yuuko

    Age: 17

    Appearance: A small lithe girl whose pale complexion contrasts with her onyx colored eyes. Standing at only 4'10, she carries long black hair that trails down her back. A few scars and markings cover the ends of her fingertips. Large eyes with thin eyebrows and small lips that caress a tiny mouth. With a heart shaped face which brings this all together.

    She chooses to wear formal clothing and prefers the uniform provided by the school. Keeping it clean and following the regulations of Sanagi high school. She often carries a case for glasses though has hardly ever been seen using them. A thin round pair of glasses with a dark frame are what she chooses to use.

    History: Living with only her father. She respects his hardworking nature as well as his determination to provide for her. Choosing to clean their home immaculately and choosing to cook meals whenever he returns. He runs a successful family business which was once shared with Yuuko's mother. While the two had always remained removed due to work. It had often left the young girl lonely as she was always being passed on from family members to caretakers. None of this changed and while she yearned for more time with her family. A vicious incident occurred once she turned ten.

    Her mother was brutally murdered in home when Yuuko was present. Her father returned later as he was the first to inform the police. Reports show that she was hiding as the events took place. The criminal has yet to be apprehended and the perpetrator appears to be a serial killer. One who was known over thirty years ago. For killing his victims in a particular manor.

    Known as the Skin Collector by the public. She remains the only surviving witness of any of the cases that have occurred. Making her important to the federal investigators who pursue this case. This has placed her and her family under protection though, sadly, she has seen her father far less. As he has taken on more responsibilities after her mother's passing. Due to her experiences she meets with therapists as well as counselors to help with her situation. While she has refused to speak much of the event. She has written portions for people to read. Police are still hoping to use her to solve the case even though her reliability after such a long time is being questioned.

    Personality: She is a very quiet person and doesn't show much emotion. She struggles approaching people and doesn't seem to ask for aid. Choosing to instead, to do everything on her own merit. She is attentive and does well in class. The classroom being the most comfortable place for her. She is a picky eater and seems obsessed with cleaning. Wanting everything to be perfectly right and seemingly addicted to the action. Never being satisfied until it looks exactly as she wants. She tends to bite her fingernails as well as the skin around her fingers. She is always tapping or strumming her fingers when staying still. She is partly curious on others and seems interested when music is being played. Her good grades, etiquette and diligence make her a student that is easily worked with. She is not one to particularly cause trouble.



  • Name: Suiken Korekuta

    Appearance: Wearing what appears to be a dressed created from extensions of skin and producing numerous spiked protrusions. The creature itself has hard bony plating that coats a delicate and soft interior. An opening at the chest can reveal a heart which rests inside. Opening and closing and appearing to breathe. The face is adorned with a mask which reveals one large, ember colored eye. With the reverse revealing a number of small eyes in contrast. A large flesh like tail extends from behind her. As he feet appear more like tentacles than actual legs. Her arms and hands remain the most human as shoulder and elbow plating protect them. Small strings of connected tissue float around her defensively.


    Natural weapons: Her hands can cut and carve into flesh easily. Their rigidness allowing for fierce guttural cutting if required. Though her 'dress' offers a myriad of weapons. Capable of impaling and ripping things to shreds, it offers her ways to pierce into things and cut them carefully if she requires. Able to remove these spikes which damage her in turn. She can create spear like weapons which she can attach to her arms if needed. Her exposed heart may also look tempting. Though, the clamp that protects it can be used as a makeshift mouth. Holding anyone who comes to close and allowing her dress to rotate and grind the being to pieces. Her tendrils that hover around her have a keen sense of smell as well as capable of poisoning prey. They can also be used as whips and are prehensile and resemble the tentacles found at her feet.


    Limit Weapon: Dancing of Knives- A violent display of numerous shards and pieces of bone that rapidly and savagely rip material apart. Ripping things apart at a sub atomic level. It resembles more of a black hole than anything else. Though the range is small and requires herself to be incredibly close to whom she uses this upon. It also causes herself great harm and exposes her heart in the event. Though, this can be used to cut things from structures and buildings towards vehicles or rock.


    Other supernatural Abilities: She can fly without the need of wings. Capable of manipulating the bone upon her body. She can focus parts of it to become more defensible but in response requires to make other places vulnerable in return.


    Personality traits: Fearfully defensive and incredibly careful. This being while taking many risks tends to avoid any that may leave her worse for wear. Cunning, and adaptable, they have developed a relationship that is understandable between the pair. As only this symbiote understands the complex emotions and the frailness of this mind. Offering the girl something that she desperately needs. Stability, and in turn this creature found someone surprisingly accepting of monsters like them. Both are reliable and both are interested in protecting this relationship. Only this horror knows what truly develops in this young mind. Surprising even this creature as they believe to have found a peculiar human.


    Hybrid Form: Her eyes begin to glow a sickeningly ember looking color. Making her appear deathly ill as her veins begin to grow a stark red. Her skin appears to fracture as bones make their way to defend this weak body. As her hair begins to form the tendrils that move around her. The palpitations of her heart become more clearly visible as portions of her mask begin to form upon her face.
