Name: Tenya Ariko

Age: 17

Personality: In battle Tenya has a fiery and arrogant attitude. She is flippant and rude, but when she is with friends Tenya is a kind girl. She enjoys sweets and soft things.

Appearance:

History:
As a young girl Tenya was always very feisty and liked to get into fights with her twin brother, Bladen. One day when they were playing in the park a man approached them. Tenya was very wary of the man, as he had been acting very strange and muttering to himself. As the man approached
Tenya had noticed his red eyes and a sense of evil coming from him. The man grabbed her twin brother and at that moment something happened to Tenya. She felt something inside of her break and suddenly a blinding white light was cast from her body. It engulfed the strange man and her brother, causing Tenya to collapse.

When Tenya awoke, she was in the hospital and in the company of demon hunters. They had witnessed what had occurred at the park and their Keeper had quickly disposed of the unconscious demon. The men explained to her what had happened and helped her understand her potential as a Slayer. After that day Tenya's brother became very sick. Whatever had occurred that day had caused something in her brother to break and soon he didn't have the power to focus. His muscles began to deteriorate and he was forced to live in the hospital. Tenya visits him whenever she can in between demon hunting jobs.

Hunter Class: Slayer

Is very skilled with her spirit sword and other blades.

Spirit Weapon:

Hunter Class: Slayer

Skills/Abilities:

Purifying Aura: When Tenya gets into tight spots her spirit automatically lets out a large burst of light that knocks out even powerful demons, but leaves her very weakened.

Light Manipulation: Tenya always had a love for the light and soon learned to bend it with her mind, allowing her to form things such as cages and keys. The light becomes almost perfectly solid, but she has to have light nearby.

Is very skilled with a spirit katana and other blades.

Spirit Weapon: View attachment 20047

They certainly are cool character. ^_^ However, you'll have to modify their abilities. :I Slayers only are able to have one spirit weapon which is a manifestation of their soul's energy. Their spirit weapon only has one form which may change slightly as their experience increases but it overall remains the same. Their weapon is not affected at all by any external factors unless those things affect the Slayer's state of mind. The weapon doesn't necessarily have to look like a classical type of weapon, it really just takes upon a form that is best suited to the Slayer based upon what they think looks interesting, their personality, and on their fighting style. You will have to choose between one of the forms that you mentioned before.

Here are a few ideas. In order to keep their history the same you can simply make it that when they "unsheathe" their spirit weapon that it lets out a bright explosion of light. As for the weapon's main form, you could make it a whip like weapon that can bend into many different directions and wrap around stuff, or it could remain as a sword, or it could take upon the form of two different things such as a sword and shield. But, if it takes upon the form of two weapons then those weapons/objects must be closely linked with each other so that one could not function without the other. Having their spirit energy form into cages and keys would not be allowed as well unless the cage and key were her only weapons because they function together.

Spirit weapons are very important and closely linked to Slayers and who they are. Actually, spirit weapons in a sense are the Slayer as they are basically a physical manifestation of their own soul. It is because of this that one must be careful in choosing what their Slayer's spirit weapon looks like. Spiritual energy is not something that is easily modified, which is why it is a miracle that Slayers are even able to form a spirit weapon.

Alright I edited it, how about now? I figured that the burst of energy that happened when she was younger could be her weapon manifesting itself for the very first time and just a fluke.

Thanks. ^_^ Looks fine now. And yeah, I guess the light explosion could just be from it being manifested for the first time. O.o It would make sense.

Anyways, you're free to join in now with the others. :)

If anyone else makes another character I'd recommend them being older since we have a lot of young characters now.

Uwah! >__< Sorry the long post! Long story short, Rayth who vaguely knows the others has shown up with a strange girl on his shoulder and both of these two dorks are bleeding. XD

Kyy Namosaka · Mar 24, 2013

Name: Kyysucara Namosaka (goes by Kyy)

Age: 21

Personality: Hyper, outgoing, optomistic, kind, can be serious when he needs to.

Appearance: Long black hair with red highlights, the bangs cover his left eye. He wears an overcoat most of the time (it kinda looks like the organization 13 one)

History: Kyy grew up in a family of hunters, being taught how to fight them from a young age. He never really wanted to take over being a hunter. When he was 14 a demon attacked his house. His father tried facing it alone and died just as Kyy got there. In a fit of rage a light burst from his hand and his spirit weapon form in his hand. He stopped the demon, but not before it told him who it was really after. He left his home behind to find a Hunter HQ to work at. A few weeks later he arrived at the Kyoto HQ.

Hunter Class: Slayer

Skills/Abilities: He of a little above average strength and better at speed but his real strength lies in his wits. He tends to fight tactically.

Spirit Weapon/Demon Form: Hokkuraku Shimon: A trident like spear that has a constant whirlwind surrounding it.

Nice. ^_^ They're accepted. :)

I think I'm going to close accepting further applications now since we have lots of people.

Dream Spirit · Mar 25, 2013

Ok, everyone! :) Here are some plans for what's coming up next.

The Hunters are going to be splitting into three groups. I'll also be introducing another Keeper who is one of the leaders of the Hunters and Head Keeper in Kyoto. She will be the only Keeper going into the spirit realm because the other two are too young and inexperienced.

Here are the missions:
Group 1: Visit the shrines and temples in Kyoto to ask spirits for information and potentially eradicate any demons.
Group 2: Go into downtown Kyoto to see if they can find anything suspicious. Demons like to go where there are a lot of people so there will most likely be at least a few weak demons.
Group 3: Travel into the spirit realm to see if they can find a portal leading from the spirit realm to the mortal realm and ask any friendly spirits (hopefully friendly) if they've seen any strange activity.

The Leaders for each of these groups will be:
Group 1: Inobi, because he has a lot of experience, but also because he can communicate with spirits easily. Also, Neil doesn't want him going into the demon realm because he is known to not have much control when in his demon form.
Group 2: Suggestions? I was thinking maybe Rayth since he is a bit older and has more experience with demons than a lot of the other Hunters. Also, I think most of the others are either too young or just really immature. >.>
Group 3: Neil, though he is nervous to go into the spirit realm. He didn't completely lose himself the last time he went in the spirit realm, but he still worries.

Also, I'm going to be introducing some spirit/demon characters fairly soon. I'll be posting some blog entries soon with information on spirits, demons, spirit weapons, the spirit realm,and other things so that people can better understand things. I would edit the main post, except it isn't working for me and just ends up deleting everything I wrote when I try. -___-

Anyways, you can post here and say whether you would like your character to go into the spirit realm or investigate in the mortal realm. By the way though, if your character is young (less than 20) then they are automatically put into either groups 1 or 2.
