Yz! You joined us!
Word of advice for the anime, though you don't have to worry much about it since it's already in its second season. Regardless, fucking cliffhangers. God damn aggravating.

[fieldbox=Silent Shadow, #bfbfbf, Solid]
Name: Yuume Nozomi
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Team: Team 1
Rank: Private First Class
Appearance: Stands at 5'2", weighing 121 lbs. Eyes are teal blue.
Personality: It is unknown if Yuume cannot demonstrate emotion or if she is emotionless, though the latter is more likely. Yuume seems incapable of showing any kind of emotion, ranging from happiness to pain and frustration. This lack of emotional input makes her a rather complicated case of PTSD. She lacks the emotional push to do whatever it is that they tell her to do, and the reason for this is simply because there is nothing for her to fight for. However, her wish to fight cannot be doubted. Alone, she is very calm and collected and can maintain an impressive serenity even in the most severe cases, an after-effect of seeing the worst kind of things one could see. This serenity is so intense that it can even be considered coldness, as Yuume doesn't get easily distressed by death or pain.
However, deep inside the girl is a wreck. Losing everything she had from one to the other left her rather desensitized but also left a mark that will be rather difficult to heal. Yuume is constantly attempting to find a reason for her to be in the IJDA. Even other people question this but she shrugs it off by stating that "there's nothing better to do". Maybe that's what she believes but those who are sharp enough to pass through all of the walls she places between herself and society are quick to notice that she is almost in a depressive state and that this state is bad enough that Yuume would willingly kill herself if anything distressed her.
Biography: Only daughter of the known British entrepreneur James Easton, Yuume was his lost link with the country he loved: Japan. James loved japan so much that, when he was rich enough, he decided to eventually settle down in the country. The result was a marriage and Yuume, who would be born 12 years before the incident. As the daughter of a very rich man, Yuume was always a princess. She loved her family and loved to travel around the world with them. One could even say that Yuume was a lucky girl to have two parents who loved her deeply and to have lived the way she did before the incident.
Yuume was on her way to Japan when the catastrophe happened, which caused the plane she was on to fall down and crash against a building in Tokyo. Yuume was the sole survivor of the accident, with both of her parents dying, including her younger sister. The happening scarred Yuume, but maybe it was just her luck that the robed men wouldn't look inside the accidents. She stood inside the ruins of the plane for two days until she was rescued by other children who survived. The children escaped the accident and made a rush to find the nearest military operation base. In just a couple of days the group was attacked and most of the group of 20 children was killed without mercy, with only Yuume and another child surviving. After this happening, the two arrived at Shibuya and there were received as survivors.
Because of all these happenings, Yuume developed a deep PTSD that caused her to no longer speak and also caused her to fall in depression. As an effect of this, they made her join the school and one of the soldiers who rescued her was a member of the Vampire Extermination Unit selected her to train with him. It was surprising to see that Yuume was more than just skilled. She could learn anything they did trained her in very fast and her skills with a sword matched even veterans after only a few months of training.
Though her training was completed much earlier due to her beginning training from such a young age, Yuume trained for additional two years until she decided to herself she was ready. And when she decided, she made her contract with the Demon in the Cursed Gear as early as she could.
Combat Style: Snake Bite
Yuume's combat is focused on a mix between Battojutsu and Kenjutsu, but with many other mixed combat properties to it. In a sense, there is no way to properly name her style of combat in single words or in already existent styles alone. She is known to prize accuracy and speed over all other aspects, including defense. In other words, she focuses mainly in powerful counter-attacks that punish every action your enemy takes.
As an aggressive fighter, Yuume prefers to be direct and to strike their enemies where it will hurt the most. She tries to pin enemies down through presence and "zoning". In other words, by denying your enemy space to act upon, you pressure him and force him to commit a mistake in his attacks. And when someone does commit a mistake, Yuume is a specialist in exploiting and punishing it harshly, either through stabs or slashes. As much as she'd like to say so, she lacks the strength to properly go into attrition fights, which ultimately results in her having to attack with pinpoint precision, a deadly way of battle that can easily result in death should a mistake be done.
When using the second form of Yoake, though, she changes into an all-or-nothing style, becoming extremely aggressively and leaving her enemy no space to breathe. She can make fluid combinations of the Uchigatana and the Nodachi in order to maximize her chances of hitting her opponent, usually doing so when unsheathing/sheathing the blade in order to attempt a surprise attack. These fluid combinations take a toll on her stamina, though, which is why she rarely uses the second form of Yoake.
Cursed Gear Name: Black Demon Series: [BCOLOR=#ffffff]Yoake-no-Yurei[/BCOLOR]
Weapon Appearance: A longer, curved uchigatana with blue handle that glows bright blue when used. One could say that Yaoke is a very unique weapon, because in a sense, it is. Some soldiers even considered it a whole new type of Demon Gear, due to the differences between it and a normal Demon Gear. The difference lies in the fact that the weapon seems to have two different forms. One is that of the uchigatana, while the other is that of a large nodachi, which is the reason why the Yoake has a longer hilt.
When inserted into the "sheath"(which is formed after the large nodachi), the black sheath glows bright blue, like the uchigatana and forms a new weapon. The nodachi has an appearance similar to that of a thicker Washing Pole, which makes it a great weapon for more destructive blows than the uchigatana can perform. Of course, swinging such large blade around isn't easy task for Yuume, which leaves her to use it only when very necessary.
The Demon inside, known simply as Yoake by Yuume was a Vampire betrayed in battle. It despises human and vampires alike, but seems to desire vengeance above all things. It is constantly attempting to tip Yuume into being possessed, to the point where it even goes as far as blaming her for the accident.
The Demon's appearance is that of a tall female figure with very long bright purple hair and dark purple eyes.
Whenever the blade enters in contact with other materials, organic or not, it releases a bluish pulse of energy. Strangely, whenever sparks are released from anything that enters in contact with this blade, the sparks are blue...

dw I'm still here, just having trouble thinking of a Cursed Gear.
Right now I'm thinking a Long Ranged or Polearm Cursed Gear since we have a lot of swords, but I'm open to suggestions.

I've been sorta waiting to see how the numbers are before I dish out ranks. But I was thinking that Yamakawa Kenzo would be a Major. Both Yuume Nozomi and Yoshio Shizuka would be either first or second class privates, or corporals if they so choose.

The question is if you'd want a smartass like Yoshio, not to mention a smartass with suspicions and questions regarding the army to be a corporal xD

I think I might make her Private First Class. She doesn't really fit as Corporal due to the fact that she doesn't really have a lot of experience in combat.

ll Hiya. I'm a new member of IwakuRoleplay. I just noticed that there was a roleplay group for Owari no Seraph, and I would love to join. I'm a newbie, but I hope I didn't make too many mistakes! :D ll
"Make no mistake. That was the doctrine that I lived for, and will continue living for."
Name: Shiranui Shinra
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Team: Team 2
Rank: Major
Appearance:
Personality:
Shiranui, despite having the looks of a delinquent, is a rather calm, positive and laidback individual. He bears a rather lazy and bored expression outside of work. To get himself peppy, he takes the title of being the most talkative in his squad; often making snarky remarks in a sarcastic and playful tone. Name-calling is one of the man's specialties, based on observation and first impression whenever he is introduced to recruits. He believes that getting stronger is the only way to defeat the vampires at this point. The only hint of arrogance in his form is when he actively riles up anyone from the MDC, from rookies to even his squad leader (who is the commanding officer of the MDC) into fighting him. He does this not only for him to gain battle experience, but for also the soldiers he is provoking to a fight to get stronger as well. While he expects to win most of his mock battles, he takes losses relatively well as he garners respect towards those who
manage to give him a decisive defeat. He has a habit of patting a rookie's head, shoulder or back as a sign of affection or respect.
Shiranui prefers to work alone, even in the battlefield. He is the first to suggest joining on the front lines. This does get him quite an earful from his squad and peers, though they do not doubt his capability to work singlehandedly. While he does act recklessly, Shiranui is savvy enough to know when the odds are against them. When this happens, he is the first to issue retreat orders. He rarely works together with his squadmates, but nevertheless treats them like family. This also applies to the entirety of the Moon Demon Company, being one of the first few to mourn over casualties. He does tend to question his commanding officer's pragmatism and lack of compassion but never his capability to lead.
Shiranui has immense guilt over his sister's death, believing that his mistake caused it. Two things motivate him to kill the bloodsuckers; with the pursuit of strength being secondary. He is primarily driven by revenge, and getting stronger is just a means to do so. He immediately brushes off the topic of his past when it is mentioned, stating that past is past. Despite his flaws, he refuses to make mistakes, as it was the doctrine taught to him by his father.
Shiranui has deep, justified hatred towards the vampirekind, considering them to be humanity's natural archnemesis. Mephistopheles feeds from his hatred, granting him power in exchange for insanity. When this occurs, his positive demeanor vanishes and transforms to something beyond tranquil fury. He even has a slight tendency to go ax-crazy during his encounters against vampires, with even some of them who barely escape his rampage commenting that he has the face of a monster. His squadmates know this trait well, being the only people who have the ability to calm him down whenever his behavior becomes too dangerous. He does resist Mephistopheles' temptation with little trouble, at least until he decides to get too reckless or when the situation becomes drastic.
Background/Biography:
Shiranui Shinra resided in Hokkaido, Japan. The lad was abandoned by his biological parents until he was found by a maid of an adoption center. Shiranui stayed there from birth until he was four years old, when he was finally adopted and named by a woman named Naomi Shinra. He was trained by Naomi's husband and his adoptive father, Kaido Shinra, who was the master of a prestigious Martial Arts school in Japan. He created the Same-Keitai, a high-risk high-reward martial arts that only few determined individuals could master, with many others who tried ended up failing. He was also taught the doctrine "Make No Mistake", as stated by his father that a single mistake can cause the lives of many. Shiranui rose up through the ranks of the school, eventually becoming its ace student. He has a little sister, Ayumi Shinra, who became his sole motivation to train. The two share an extremely close brother-sister relationship, growing up together and with her egging him on to become strong enough to protect her.
One night, Shiranui and Ayumi woke up to a rather disastrous event. Hearing ensuing chaos outside the dojo courtesy of explosions, they quickly find out that adults were dying one after another, including their own parents. The situation became worse when white-cloaked vampires invaded their home, in search of wandering children. Despite being broken and confused, the duo managed to hide from them. After an hour of recuperation, they walked outside the dojo and headed towards the outskirts of the city, in horror after witnessing the entirety of adults dead and children being captured by the vampires.
The duo traversed through the city unnoticed, planning to escape and seek refuge. Shiranui sees a passing helicopter, and thinking that they were going to be rescued, the young man shouted and waved his arms up in the air to get their attention. In abject horror of making a fatal mistake, he realizes that the helicopter itself was operated by the vampires. They were swiftly captured despite running for dear life, with Ayumi being sucked dry by a vampire and Shiranui being forced to watch. The young lad was then knocked unconscious and was imprisoned.
When he woke up, Shiranui found himself captured by the vampires in an underground area. Then he realized the fact that his dear sister is gone. As that realization slapped him back to reality, Shiranui grew immense hatred for the vampires and quickly tried to kill one the instant he saw one. But the bloodsucker proved to be even stronger than him, despite going through rigorous training. He was jailed for five years for this violent act, restrained and toyed around with by the merciless vampires as they cruelly show their superiority towards "livestock" like him. Only the face of his sister cheering him on in his thoughts kept him alive at this point. As those brutal five years passed, he was finally rescued when the vampires were slain by humans wielding seemingly supernatural weapons.
When he was freed, Shiranui finds out that the people who rescued him were part of a vampire extermination unit called the Moon Demon Company. That, and the virus that wiped out 90% of humanity was caused by the vampires. He was offered the chance to fight back the bloodsappers, in which his choice was obvious. Shiranui had already lost everything; his adoptive mother, father and sister. He had nothing else left to lose, and he wanted revenge. So he accepted and joined the Japanese Imperial Demon Army.
With sheer will and determination, he even managed to tame Mephistopheles, a high-ranking Black Series Demon twins and received his own Cursed Gear. Like his training at the Shinra dojo, he rose up to the ranks of the vampire extermination unit and soon became one of its most accomplished of the elite veteran soldiers. He promises to purge the vampires in retaliation for his family's death, and not to make another mistake like before which caused the death of his sister.
Combat Style: Same-Keitai
The Same-Keitai or "Shark Form" is a combat style that was taught to Shiranui by his adoptive father. "Being a shark means having to charge towards an opponent with sharp reflexes and speed while closing in for the kill." The "Make No Mistake" doctrine is implemented here, as not being fast enough to dodge even a single strike could be fatal and in worst case scenarios, cause the death of the user.
Cursed Gear Name: Mephistopheles
Mephistopheles are Black Series demon twins, in the form of two small double-barreled axe shotguns. Mephisto and Pheles are considered to be the most spiteful of the Black Series Demons and the most difficult to tame. When a single demon is already hard to control enough, two demons at the same time is a challenge that most people who tried quickly backed off rather than risking the fact that they might fail and transform into a demon. It was untouched and untested for years, until Shiranui, who was searching for an extremely capable weapon tested the demon's bloody trial knowing the risks. To the JIDA's surprise, he was able to control and harness their powers with sheer mind endurance and the immense will to live. This garners him respect from the higher-ups of the JIDA, promoting him to a high rank at such a young age despite his lack of experience in commanding soldiers.
Mephistopheles works in perfect sync with Shiranui's Same-Keitai combat style, as a double-barreled shotgun requires firing at point-blank range for maximum effectiveness. As its user swiftly rushes toward vampires with excellent agility, he points said weapon usually at the target's head and pulls the trigger which deals not only massive damage, but instant death to its victim. Another method that he utilizes is letting the target approach him and parry their melee attacks with one of the twins and firing from point-blank range with the other twin.
The shotgun shells are permanently embedded in the cartridge chamber and do not need to be reloaded and replaced, as there is no unlocking lever and breech. Said shells inside the weapon is already imbued with demon explosive darkflame shrapnel that can be recharged; although it does take six seconds for this process to occur, thus allowing the user to fire again.
While his weapons recharge their next shot, this doesn't mean he is easily vulnerable. Cue its sharp-bladed axe attached under the barrel of the weapons. Since it's also infused with the power of the Black Demon Series, a single cut can limit the healing of vampires and can even kill them with one hit.
They can passively reload the next shots faster, firing like a semi-automatic shotgun; at the cost of draining the user's mental sanity. This is due to the demons' feeding at their user's mental state. The causes of this are when the user isn't able to indefinitely control their power, such as prolonged battles. This drawback can be repelled if the user has strong willpower.
Awakened Ability: Demon's Rift
Mephistopheles gains the ability to create connecting portals from a moderate distance. Shiranui (and only Shiranui) can traverse through these portals, thus making his movements much more unpredictable as if he was teleporting. At most though, he only uses his ability to point his weapon through the portal and to the target's head from said distance for a quick and easy kill. The drawback is the heavy strain the user suffers afterwards and continuous use of this ability can strain the user enough to transform into a demon.
"Make no mistake. That was the doctrine that I lived for, and will continue living for."

He was jailed for five years for this violent act, restrained and toyed around with by the merciless vampires as they cruelly show their superiority towards "livestock" like him. Only the face of his sister cheering him on in his thoughts kept him alive at this point. As those brutal five years passed, he was finally rescued when the vampires were slain by humans wielding seemingly supernatural weapons.
When he was freed, Shiranui finds out that the people who rescued him were part of a vampire extermination unit called the Moon Demon Company. That, and the virus that wiped out 90% of humanity was caused by the vampires. He was offered the chance to fight back the bloodsappers, in which his choice was obvious. Shiranui had already lost everything; his adoptive mother, father and sister. He had nothing else left to lose, and he wanted revenge. So he accepted and joined the Japanese Imperial Demon Army.
With sheer will and determination, he even managed to tame Mephistopheles, a high-ranking Black Series Demon twins and received his own Cursed Gear. Like his training at the Shinra dojo, he rose up to the ranks of the vampire extermination unit and soon became one of its most accomplished of the elite veteran soldiers. He promises to purge the vampires in retaliation for his family's death, and not to make another mistake like before which caused the death of his sister.
Combat Style: Same-Keitai
The Same-Keitai or "Shark Form" is a combat style that was taught to Shiranui by his adoptive father. "Being a shark means having to charge towards an opponent with sharp reflexes and speed while closing in for the kill." The "Make No Mistake" doctrine is implemented here, as not being fast enough to dodge even a single strike could be fatal and in worst case scenarios, cause the death of the user.
Cursed Gear Name: Mephistopheles
Mephistopheles are Black Series demon twins, in the form of two small double-barreled axe shotguns. Mephisto and Pheles are considered to be the most spiteful of the Black Series Demons and the most difficult to tame. When a single demon is already hard to control enough, two demons at the same time is a challenge that most people who tried quickly backed off rather than risking the fact that they might fail and transform into a demon. It was untouched and untested for years, until Shiranui, who was searching for an extremely capable weapon tested the demon's bloody trial knowing the risks. To the JIDA's surprise, he was able to control and harness their powers with sheer mind endurance and the immense will to live. This garners him respect from the higher-ups of the JIDA, promoting him to a high rank at such a young age despite his lack of experience in commanding soldiers.
Mephistopheles works in perfect sync with Shiranui's Same-Keitai combat style, as a double-barreled shotgun requires firing at point-blank range for maximum effectiveness. As its user swiftly rushes toward vampires with excellent agility, he points said weapon usually at the target's head and pulls the trigger which deals not only massive damage, but instant death to its victim. Another method that he utilizes is letting the target approach him and parry their melee attacks with one of the twins and firing from point-blank range with the other twin.
The shotgun shells are permanently embedded in the cartridge chamber and do not need to be reloaded and replaced, as there is no unlocking lever and breech. Said shells inside the weapon is already imbued with demon explosive darkflame shrapnel that can be recharged; although it does take six seconds for this process to occur, thus allowing the user to fire again.
While his weapons recharge their next shot, this doesn't mean he is easily vulnerable. Cue its sharp-bladed axe attached under the barrel of the weapons. Since it's also infused with the power of the Black Demon Series, a single cut can limit the healing of vampires and can even kill them with one hit.
They can passively reload the next shots faster, firing like a semi-automatic shotgun; at the cost of draining the user's mental sanity. This is due to the demons' feeding at their user's mental state. The causes of this are when the user isn't able to indefinitely control their power, such as prolonged battles. This drawback can be repelled if the user has strong willpower.
Awakened Ability: Demon's Rift
Mephistopheles gains the ability to create connecting portals from a moderate distance. Shiranui (and only Shiranui) can traverse through these portals, thus making his movements much more unpredictable as if he was teleporting. At most though, he only uses his ability to point his weapon through the portal and to the target's head from said distance for a quick and easy kill. The drawback is the heavy strain the user suffers afterwards and continuous use of this ability can strain the user enough to transform into a demon.

Welcome to Iwaku!!! @Siegdrake
Your character is definitely accepted. I'll let you choose if you want Shinra to be either a lieutenant, captain or possibly a major if you so choose.
As for Yamakawa Yazumi, I think she should be the team captain of our rookie squad, unless you disagree. ^^

Ehh guess I can, she would be a 1st Lt I think in that case. Well 2nd would work. Lower, and a squad leader rank, I'll wait for your imput though.

She could be a Sergeant or a Corporal and still be the squad leader of the rookie team. Shinoa Hiragi is only a Sergeant and is in charge of her own team. Ranks don't really matter much in the squad hierarchy, as Guren Ichinose is outranked by two members of his own team but is still the squad leader.

Yeah, same. When I figured out that Guren Ichinose is only a Lieutenant Colonel when two of his members are higher ranking Colonels I didn't really understand it. I also didn't really understand why Mitsuba Sangu is a 2nd Lieutenant but takes orders from a Sergeant. I guess the anime doesn't really use ranks for anything more than titles.
