[i]When did this start exactly? I can't even remember. For so long I've simply sat by. Watching... Never interfering unless my presence was absolutely necessary. I had hoped that my research would help change the world. Make it better. Perhaps the world has changed. It certainly is different compared to what it once was. Still... I cannot help, but wonder whether or not this change is for better or if it'll simply lead to more destruction.

The way things are it seems that the latter is a more likely assumption. This place I watch over seems to be going to hell. I can't even begin to imagine what would have if the power emitted by the Dresden Slate were to expand and cover more of the world. The fight for power is sickening. The Green clan causes trouble and blames the Red Clan. The Blue Clan in turn attacks the Red Clan for the wrong doings, despite the Red having done nothing. The Gold clan allies itself with the Blue while also keeping some form of relationship with the Green clan. 

The Red Clan retaliates against the Blues and the Greens alike, seeing no reason to attack the Gold who never directly involve themselves in the battles unless they are personally attacked. The public in turn idolizes the Blue while tossing the Red aside as a mere street gang which must be dealt with. And the Greens can enjoy watching the other clans wipe each other out. 

All of this for power. Nobody is the wiser to the plans and the chaos that is slowly building. Why do I not involve myself you ask? I must see if the people are capable of dealing with their own problems. Should I involve myself the balance of power may very well shift and the world may be thrust even further into chaos. I cannot risk destroying the lives of so many. So I will watch.[/i]

And so the Silver King did just that. Watched with no sign of interfering. Most may think that the Silver King was simply uninterested in the goings on of the world. But that was not true. And so. Time passes with no signs of stopping. How will these things effect those caught up in this seemingly endless web of Misconceptions.

-------------------------

Here is some information that is necessary to better understand the opening and overall RP.
Alright so I know that it seems a little cheesy, but what do you want from me?! A good opening can be hard you know!
Nobody needs to be a king. You can be a strain, or a human, or anything you want really so long as it is reasonable and within the confines of this world established by K.While on the subject of the world I feel I should add that this will be taking place in an alternate timeline. Essentially the Dresden Slate, Swords of Damocles, organizations such as HOMRA, Sceptor 4, etc. exist. however, the individual characters are different. The Silver King and Red King for example are characters of my creation (who have yet to be created, but I digress). The reason for this change is that the established setting would make it somewhat hard to play without having to utilize some canon characters, which is something I wish to avoid. If you want a be a king, a Strain, etc... Ask. If a king slot you want isn't taken you can have it.
Anyway. Here are some rules!

1) Don't be overpowered, godmod, or anything of the sort. Please I cannot stress this enough. Please I do not like to be a bad guy (depending on the circumstances). 
2) It is likely that there may be death. There will most certainly be destruction. Some gore may be allowed. Within reason, of course. >_> 
3) Romance is allowed. However, please take sex and stuff to PM or fade to black or whatever. 
4) Have fun and try to be as active as your schedule allows. Let someone know whether or not you'll need to go if you can.
5) Listen to me and any and all Co-GMs I may appoint
6) I honestly don't mind cursing or course language too much. However, please do not go overboard.
7) Being that this is a low – mid level casual roleplay I expect at least a paragraph per post. Please and thank you :3
8) I reserve the right to add and change rules as I see fit.

[hider=Red King]Name: Shusuke Kamishiro
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Shusuke stands at 6'2" and can usually be seen wearing some form of suit in an unkempt manner (such as the one in the picture which is his general attire). His eye and hair are one of his most noticeable features being something of a purple color and red respectively.
[img]http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac159/bryan_vega1/kaji__oc_colored_version__by_batusawa-d5r4vap_zps68e1f3c9.jpg[/img]
Role: King
Occupation: Full Time Leader of HOMRA
Skills: Shusuke isn't the best cook, but enough about what he isn't good at. He is a skilled singer (though most don't know it as he isn't one to perform). He plays multiple instruments such as the guitar, piano, drums, violin, and harmonica. He knows a few different languages and also knows how to run a business (he doesn't, but he knows how). Essentially, he'd be much more successful if he had a different attitude towards most things. 
Powers: Red Aura: As the Red King and leader of HOMRA, {insert name here} has power over fire, imbibing itself in a red-colored Aura. When exerted, the Aura has great offensive potential to allow {insert name here} to attack his enemies. The Aura also provides defense, as it is possible for it to protect {insert name here} against the Aura attack of the Blue King, a member of Scepter 4 and an incredibly powerful combatant. Just as the blue King is likely the strongest member of Sceptor 4 and possibly the best at manipulating the Blue Aura, {insert name here} is the strongest member of HOMRA and likely the best at manipulating the Red Aura. Using the Red Aura it is even possible to break illusions and send powerful waves with great slashing power. 
Personality: Shusuke is a mostly laid back individual, who loves music and generally opts to relax rather than take on strenuous activities if it is not necessary. He can generally be seen with a calm smile on his face. However, despite this he has quite the temper when it comes to certain aspects of his life such as his clan or anyone or anything he cares for. He takes his duties as a king fairly seriously and doesn't hesitate to fight if he feels like it. In fact, fighting is one thing he enjoys. A playful brawl with his clansmen (though most don't have the guts to challenge him) or a serious fight with another King. He finds joy in a clash of wills. However, if it isn't a fight, or fulfilling his kingly duties he'll probably lounge around peacefully. He isn't very ambitious or the type to cause unnecessary trouble for himself. Still despite his lack luster attitude, he is actually quite intelligent. A genius even with two university degrees. One in business and the other in music. He doesn't really go into specifics about those. Aside from all of this he doesn't treat the other kings or members of other clans with ill intent. That is with the exception of the green. Even when speaking to the Blue or the Gold he is someone respectful. Tries to get to know them. Outside of fighting he isn't that bad of a guy. 
History: Shusuke never knew his father. He grew up under the care of his mother. She worked hard. Often he would find himself left with a neighbor until late into the night when his mother returned to pick him up. Of course, he was usually sleeping by this point. As he grew older he was eventually left home to take care of himself. The reason was because his neighbor refused to continue to watch him as he often got into fights with her son. The reason doesn't matter, but it occurred often. Still his mother understood whenever he explained. She was the type to listen to his side of the story no matter what he did. He loved her so much. 

The young man continued to grow and learn. He matured fairly quickly. As he grew older he found himself breezing through school. This was actually a very good thing. There came a time when his mother fell very ill. She couldn't work as much. Shusuke in response to this began to work various odd jobs to bring in a little extra money as he most didn't hire him. He had some violent tendencies towards certain people and the like. Also he was only about 13. He kept his mother and himself afloat and managed his school work like she wanted. This was no small feat as he'd skipped ahead a few grades. By the time he was 15 he was well on his way to begin university. 

Shusuke thought about quitting to get a job, but his mother forbid it. Still she seemed to be struggling so much. He couldn't stand it. But she pleaded for him to continue his schooling. He did as she asked. He would have done anything for her.However, that made it that much more painful when he lost her. He'd already done as she wished. He'd gotten 2 degrees. However, that didn't do much for him. Still time moved on. He'd met people. Gotten through a stint of depression and came out stronger. 

In all honesty, at this point Shusuke doesn't really remember when he became a king. But at the time it'd felt so natural. From learning to control his immense power to forming his clan. He seemed to be perfectly fit for the title. So much has happened. And the wheels of fate continue to turn.

The following will be a list of characters in hiders. Each hider will have the name of the player who created and will be playing the character. 
[hider=peachpenguin][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/G4UH81d.jpg[/img]
Mikami stands at approximately 5'11, made of mostly lean muscle. His black hair is long enough that it covers most of his forehead but he never lets it get so long that it covers his eyes. Speaking of his eyes, they're a very vibrant, very distinctive blue color. His skin is pale and nearly flawless. On some days, if one looks close enough they can see the dark bags under his eyes. He can almost always be seen in the standard Sceptor 4 uniform. When he isn't though, he likes sweaters and jeans. [/center]

[b]Name:[/b] Mikami Kumini
[b]Age: [/b] 27
[b]Gender: [/b] Male
[b]Role: [/b] Blue King
[b]Occupation: [/b] Full Time leader of Sceptor 4

[b]Skills: [/b] Mikami is decently good at cooking, although don't let him touch anything that involves baking because he will screw it up. It almost goes without saying that he is excellent at fighting with a sword and can more than hold his own in hand to hand combat. Apart from that, his parents forced piano lessons on him when he was younger so he's skilled at that as well. He's also a fantastic actor. And poker. He's really good at poker.

[b]Powers: [/b] As a controller of Blue Aura, Mikami is able to attack opponents in quick succession and target multiple areas at once. He can also cover the trade mark Sceptor 4 swords in Blue Aura. Despite this, the aura is primarily used for defensive purposes. As King, he can also "repair physical objects" with his Aura. 

[b]Personality: [/b] Mikami is, above all else, very serious. He may not act like it sometimes (new recruits frequently question his methods) but at his core Mikami is a very logical 
and analytic man. He's also slightly manipulative, using his analytical side to figure out what people want to hear and telling them just that. He's the type of guy to keep his cool at all times, rarely ever letting his emotions get the best of him. He's also the type to internalize, usually thinking along the lines of "there are bigger problems to worry about then my own". Mikami is excellent at keeping up public appearances and has a great poker face, for those rare times things do get to him. Beyond that, he's got a protective streak somewhere deep inside him, but he cares about very few people enough to let that effect his actions. He's also just vain enough to cover up imperfections in his skin with makeup every morning, but that's a secret. 

[b]History: [/b] Mikami lived a pretty cushy childhood. His parents were very well off with his father being a high ranking official of the police department and his mother a successful politician. They were somewhat forceful with his academics and other hobbies but apart from that he lived a very nice childhood. During his time in primary school, Mikami was the child that everyone respected but no one ever wanted to actually hang out with. No one wanted to hang out with the weird kid who never complained about his homework, but they almost always wanted him on their team for hide and seek. Although he later learned that it was because he was intelligent enough to recognize patterns in where kids would hide. 

Highschool came and went rather quickly. He graduated two years early. After that came law school at one of the most esteemed universities in the country, which was slightly more challenging that the rest of his educational career had been but not so much that it was actually stressful. The real stress came right around the time of his 22nd birthday, when a girl he totally forgot he had a very entertaining hook up with earlier in the year showed up on his doorstep and left him with what was apparently his child. She ran away and never came back, leaving the new Blue King with the stress of a job neither high school nor college had prepared him for and a kid. 

Eventually, he got into a rhythm. Luckily enough, the older lady in the apartment across from his (just where this apartment is located is a complete unknown to his coworkers) absolutely adores his child and watches him most days. Dealing with work was still a challenge, especially when it comes to dealing with the Reds. But hey, at least life is interesting. 

[b]Other: [/b] His kid's name is Kouki. (I might throw up an image if he actually comes into play in the rp)[/hider]

[hider=SouloftheAbyss]Name: Matsura Tsuji

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Appearance: 
[img]http://forognanime.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/cca65-anime25283362529.jpg[/img]

Matsura has black hair and lime green eyes, which are underlined with dark shadows from a lack of sleep. His straight hair falls down, covering his left eye, in spikes just above his neck. He has a rather fair complexion and frail build. He rises to a mere 5'9" in height. Matsura's everyday attire consist of a back t-shirt, faded gray jeans and a forest green hooded jacket. He tends to roam around bear foot in his base, but he will wear a pair of worn, black converse if he is forced to leave.

Role: Green King

Occupation: Leader of JUNGLE

Skills: Matsura is a highly skilled engineer and computer genius. Such skills allow him to hack into a variety of systems, such as security systems, as well as construct bombs, with which he can set off via his aura. When he is not on the computer, fairly decent cook, however he does not utilize his skills in any other way besides making sweets. Besides technology and baking, Matsura doesn't hold much interest in any other hobbies. This doesn't include the entertainment from a book or two. He tends to read quite a few of those when he isn't scheming. 

Powers: 
Green Aura- This aura grants Matsura, as well as all of this clansman, the ability to induce and manipulate electricity. Though weak, this ability allows him to strike down enemies from long distances. Mastura, being the most skilled at using this aura, can use it to absorb electricity from any surrounding power sources, such as light bulbs. He can also use this ability in reverse, in which he can overpower units to the point to which they break.
Phasing- With is ability, Matsura is able to defy physics and phase through solid objects, such as walls and floors. He is also granted an ability, as king, that allows himself to walk on walls and ceilings if he so desires. Only his most esteemed clansmen are granted this power. 

Personality: Matsura is not exactly he type of person you would expect to be a king. Lazy, apathetic and somewhat childish, he would rather stay locked away at his base than meet his enemies face to face. Despite his introvert nature, Matsura is a fairly good leader of his clan. His analytically and strategy-based abilities had claimed him a prodigy from a young age. Even under extreme pressure and anxiety, Matsura can create flawless plans and schemes in a matter of minutes for his clans members to then undertake. His downfall is his anger, which if trigger, can lead him to take drastic and somewhat dangerous measures to achieve his desires. This rarely happens, though. Despite his twisted desires, Matsura is rarely preserved as insane. Indifferent, perhaps, but not insane. 

History: 
Matsura went through a rather rough childhood. His father left his mother soon after Matsura was born. This incident had a very traumatic effect on his mother, which caused her to become overly protective of her son. Matsura was never allowed to go to school as a child, due to his mother demanding that she would home school him instead. This lead him to spend many hours alone in his room with a laptop. It wasn't long before he, and many others , discovered is unnaturally technological abilities. Local School officials when as fas as to claim him a prodigy, which he was, and tried to convince his mother to allow him a public educate. She refused. 

Being a genius, however, never pardoned Matsura from discrimination. Neighborhood kids would regularly attack him in the alleyways when ever they caught him away from his house. Perhaps the lys did this out of anger or envy of his abilities. Either way, each pummeling ended with the same threat that if Matsura told his mother the beating the next day would be harder. Matsura, in turn, never did. Overtime, Matsura developed a rather indifferent attitude towards the boys actions. This eventaully stripped him of his social skills and disconnected him from the world as a whole. What could he do to change the cruelties that filled his life? Why should he care? 

It has been only two years since Matsura became to Green King. At first, many had high hopes for him. He was smart, somewhat likable and possessed good leadership qualities. This hope soon transformed into disgust when the other kings learned of Matsura's twisted views on justice formed from his harsh upbringing. Of all the clans, Matsura holds a particular grudge against HOMURA. Their reputation as a vicous street gang struck a bad note with him. In his conquest to gain the power over the world he never had as a child, he knew he had to find some way to eradicate them, and, eventually, all the other kings as well. 

Other: His diet is only composed of sweets ans candies, many of which he bakes himself.[/hider]

[hider=Kitty]Name: Rin Yamashita 
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: [img]http://img2.blog.zdn.vn/51492190.jpg[/img] 
Role: Strain and Princess of HOMRA, occasional healer of HOMRA
Occupation: Nothing

Skills:
-Fighting(Mixed Martial Arts{Was locked away with her Branch of Sin})
-Singing
-Patching Wounds

Powers:
Empathy - Allowing her to sense, recognize, perceive, and directly feel the emotions and moods of other people as though it were her own feelings. 
Phenomenal Projection - Under great stress, Rin can project her inner world (traumatic experiences) into the real world, affecting the public around her and even being life-threatening
Branch of Sin - A power that she locked away into her body that can only be unsealed if the time is right, Rin has control over her blood when she cuts herself. When she controls her blood she shapes it into curved blades from her forearms mostly and uses them swiftly with skill to slice through a lot of things.Now that she has locked it away it's power will be weaker when she may harness it again thus meaning the most she can cut through is bone, skin, walls, and doors of thickness less than one foot. But seeing as the power is locked away no one knows about it other than those present at the time that the facility she was in was taken down by none other than HOMRA when she was 12.

Personality: She is a simple, emotionless doll-like girl who tends to be quite.

History: Rin was born a simple strain with only empathy to show for it. But a special underground organization just so happened to be interested in young lesser strains. They found this young girl with light pink hair and two red eyes to be very interesting. She was abducted and her parents killed when she was only five. This organization was studying a way to create new strains from a strange red crystal found deep in the ground. They had kidnapped one hundred children to test this on. For five years these kids were tested on and injected with multiple strange liquids. By the time the group perfected their creation to create a new type of strain, they only had 10 children left. The institution had injected all of these children with the branch of sin serum. This serum allowed them to manipulate their own blood to attack or defend in some way. For the next year they tested on these children and trained them to fight with and without the Branch of sin. By the time Rin was ten she was a little fighter and user of the Branch of Sin: Crow Claw as it was named. When she and all the other children were ready, the institution began a show for the rich, dirty people of japan. They put kids up against each other with the only thing driving the kids being the fact that they didn't want to be part of the loser punishment after show where they'd have some body part removed. Rin fought hard and was almost always on top and when she lost it happened to be on days where the punishment wasn't going to happen. This lasted for four more years, the worst things that had happened to her when she lost was her hair being cut off, a tooth being ripped out, and on occasion having the doctor slice the skin on her body somewhere then stitching it up. She was 14 now and a skilled fighter, one of the top two. 
For the past year she had been considered the top fighter. That was until she lost one day, highly disappointing the people who ran the institution and the people who funded them by watching the young children fight each other. Rin was taken to the punishment room, her body already bruised and cut up from the fight. The spinner was spun as she was strapped to the table and injected with something to block her Branch of sin from working while they took whatever part of her body they wanted. The spinner stopped and it showed a picture of an eye with the word left on it. That day haunts her, the day she watched as her own eye was ripped out of her socket. She had seen the whole thing happen and she had felt the pain from it. The loss of an eye caused her problems when she practiced fighting. It ended up causing her to lose her next fight to the weakest user of the Branch of Sin. This caused anger to the director of the institution as people were complaining. When the wheel was spun the punishment that came up was 'The Directors Divine Punishment'. Rin was taken to the room of the director and punished. By punished I mean physically, emotionally, and sexually abused by the Director. It was the worst punishment she ever could have gotten, even worse than the punishment that resulted with her having an eyepatch at all times now. 
The day she was saved was the day of what was going to be her last match ever if she lost. The fight against her closest friend at the hell hole she lived in is what they thought would be fun. The middle of the fight is when HOMRA burst into the institution at the far end away from the fight. They began fighting to find the director and the arena to put a stop to the evil the man was behind, HOMRA couldn't believe that they had just recently found out about this but even so they felt the need to put an end to it. When the director heard of them breaking in he ordered for all the children with the branch of sin to be killed. So his workers went around killing all the children who weren't one of the two in the current match. HOMRA was racing through the institution, the clansmen fighting those trying to stop them while the top few headed for the main attraction. When they arrived they were surrounded by the fighters of the director. The main HOMRA members along with the king played along with the director and his minions as they were taken to seats in front of the cage the fighters were in. As they watched the two girls fight they got angrier and the heat in the room raised. When one of the men of HOMRA tried to fight back he was knocked into his seat and the director tsked as blood glided out of his finger and sliced the neck of Rin's friend open. The director was one of the experiments in a sense and he had just killed Rin's friend. Rin fell to her knees and looked at her friend through blurry, teary eyes as fighting broke out between the director's minions and HOMRA. The director ran to Rin as he watched his minions become knocked out. The director picked the girl up and threw her against the side of the cage then his blood picked her up and slammed her into the ground multiple times. He was about to finish her off when he was punched in the temple by a firery fist making him go flying into the side of the cage unconscious. The man with the flaming fist discharged the flames and walked to her. He picked her up silently and held her small body gently as she was taken outside as the only survivor of the experiment. The group of HOMRA helped her become healthier even though she wasn't healed mentally or emotionally her body was healthy despite the scars and missing eye. Through the time of helping her back to health she connected with them especially the king and they connected to her. 
Although they went through some legal problems they eventually got custody over the young girl. One night she had a horrible nightmare and used her Branch of Sin unknowingly almost killing a clansman. At that time she used some raw part of her original strain powers to lock away the Branch of Sin along with memories on how to use it. She retained her knowledge of being punished for losing fights but she didn't know they related to her Branch of Sin. Only a select few have knowledge on her true power. As the next year passed Rin became a part of the Red clans family and felt safer. They bought her a fake eye in the color of blue because she insisted on having two different color eyes for some reason and they bought her a choker necklace with a rose on it that covered the scar from multiple times of her neck being cut and mended. Her clothing became dark lolita dresses or skirts and shirts with stockings and boots that always covered her skin. Her emotions were hidden behind a doll face, no one ever saw any emotions from her as she had locked them deep away when she locked away her Branch of Sin.

[hider=Nicias Askani]Name: Sage Ame
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: [img]http://static.tumblr.com/2e21a4bcd826d4494d5d77348f9d3bee/j6refy6/iB9mhr21f/tumblr_static_kida_masaomi.gif[/img]
Role: Second in command of the Usagi Gold Clan
Occupation: Second in command of Usagi

Personality: Given the nature of Usagi and its reputation to stay out of conflict...Sage is very nosey and curious. He likes to know whats going on, especially supernatural affairs. 
Skills:

Archery: Sage is a very talented Archer

Martial arts: while not a master in the slightest he is pretty good with most kinds of melee weapons. 

Powers: As a member of the Gold Clan his ‘individual talent is enhanced to their full potential” His manifestation was pretty lame at first. it was best descibed as Aura Manipulation Now I know your probably thinking thats every clan ability, and your right it is..which is why its lame. But for him, once he got the hand of it, he became able to shape his gold aura into constructs. while extremely versatile it comes with limits too. his creations have to be simple, or at the very least he has to have a full understanding of its functions. for example: he can make a bow and arrow just fine. and shoot it much like a normal one. but he cant make a car because there are too many parts he cant explain. and of course big things drain him so he tends to keep it small. he doesnt like bringing out the giant hammer of DOOOM!!!

History: Not much to be said about him really. He grew up in the gold clan which is why he is so well trained. I was going to right some kind of inspiriational story about how he came to be affiliated with the 'Clan out of Time' but there is no story. He was raised in the clan, adopted as a baby. He got the chance at a regular education but didnt really socialize with his peers since they wouldnt really understand the ability to make swords out of other things. Despite that he has a rather cheerful disposition and works pretty well with others on a professional level. But buddy buddy doesnt work. 

When he was selected as the Second in command in Usagi it wasnt because of anything special. he was really given the position to more easily monitor the other clans. The gold clan of course had a habit of staying out of everyones way and observing. And if anything happened the masked members woudl show up and there would be no media coverage. The other clans had their own views of the Gold clan, ranging from respect to disinterest. It was, primarily, Sage's job to pan out the general opinion of Usagi. 

Other: Decided to stay gold (bang)[/hider]

[hider=SouloftheAbyss]Name: Shizu Sen

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance:
[img]http://upload.shunwang.com/2014/0409/thumb_900_730_1396979536615.jpg[/img]

Shizu has pale, auburn hair which is curt short just at the top of her neck. Her eyes are colored a studding violet. Thin and pale, she has an average build for a girl her age. She stands at a height of 5'4", that is if she is not wearing heels. Considering herself to be a fashion icon, Shizu can been seen in a large variety of vibrate dresses, pattern overalls, and mini-skirts accompanied by a thin t-shirt. With each outfit, she wears either a pair of short, brown boots or a pair of black loafers. Shizu always makes the effort to conceal the back of her neck with her hair, a collar or a scarf. If unveiled, one would notice a long, jagged, discolored scar. 

Role: Human, Sister of the Green King

Occupation: Co-leader of JUNGLE 

Skills: Shizu has quite some talent in both hand-to-hand combat and aiming long distance weapons, in her case, her aura. A skilled leader, she is able to use strong tactics and stealth to catch her enemies of guard. Unlike Matsura, she would rather fight an enemy face to face then from behind a computer. When not on the battlefield, Shizu exhibits amazing drawing skills and other artistic abilities. 

Powers: 
Green Aura: This aura allows her to create and manipulate electricity, which she can then use to strike down enemies from a distance. She is also granted the abilities to phase through solid objects and walk on walls and ceilings due to her rank in the clan. She impressive skill at using her aura, which s one of the primary reasons to my she was granted the title of co-leader, could suggest past experiences using the Green Aura before joining JUNGLE. However, there is not proof that this could be true.

Personality: Let's just say that Shizu isn't the most likable individual. Envoius, prideful and extremely stubborn, she tends to have trouble working well with others. Many of her fellow clansmen, however, have been able to break through her hard shell to unveil a sharp, dedicated young leader. Shizu never misses her chances of taunting her enemies with, may I say, creative language. Despite how open she acts towards others, one cannot ignore the mysterious aura surrounds her. Shizu is extremely loyal to the Green King in a way in which seems almost passionate. Many of her actions in leading JUNGLE could suggest that she has somewhat of a twisted or evil side to her character. They would be right. 

History: Shizu claims that she is step-sister of the Green King, Matsura Tsuji, from their father's second marriage. Some are suspicious of their relationship, since the two first began contacting each other two years ago, soon after Matsura became the Green King and formed JUNGLE. Nothing else is know, or has been revealed, about her identity. 

Other: Her companion is a [url=http://www.wildcarnivore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/short-tailed-weasel.jpg]Short-Tailed Weasel[/url] animal strain named Teiru. He is able to mimic the appearance of any human he sees, but he can not speak in any form he takes, since he is just an animal. Teiru has shown to be very viscous to anyone besides Shizu and Matsura, the Green King.[/hider]

Tadashi is tall, standing at approximately 6'1 and has a decent amount of muscle to him. He's got forest green eyes and dirty blonde hair. His face, despite his status as JUNGLE's resident mechanic, is never dirty. In fact, he might as well be called the clan's resident pretty boy. His hand, though usually gloved, give away his hands on profession from the get go, as they're calloused and not nearly as smooth as one would expect them to be. His hair has that perpetual messy on purpose look, with the longer ends being occasionally pulled up into a small pony tail. When out and about, he enjoys dressing in an unnecessary amount of layers in an attempt to look fashionable. In the garage, he can usually be seen in dirty jeans (that somehow still manage to makes his butt look amazing even though they've been worn countless times) and a loose fitting tank top.[/center]

[b]Name:[/b] Tadashi Sakurai
[b]Age:[/b] 21
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Role:[/b] Human
[b]Occupation: [/b] Mechanic for JUNGLE

[b]Skills:[/b] Tadashi is the best mechanic you'll find in the city, or at least that's what he likes to tell himself and anyone who asks. He can tear apart most motorized vehicles in record time and put them back together just as fast. This applies to most other machines as well, but he likes cars, bikes, and the like the best. Apart from that, Tadashi likes to say he's a jack of all trades and master of none, but that claim only extends so far.

[b]Powers:[/b] Green Aura: His control over the green aura allows Tadashi to control and manipulate electricity. He finds it insanely practical, especially when he has to jump start a battery. He can fight with it and while he isn't bad, he definitely isn't the brawn of the clan. Nor is he the brain, but that's a matter for another time. Being a higher ranking, and one of the original, members of JUNGLE, he's also able to phase through things and walk on walls. 

[b]Personality:[/b] Tadashi is very charismatic and flirty. It's pretty much a natural instinct for him to be that way. It doesn't really help that he doesn't have a type either, and likes to hit on anyone that could be considering remotely attractive by any means. Unfortunately, unless he's talking about mechanics, Tadashi is pretty air headed. It takes a lot to make him try to be serious and a lot of things fly right over his head. (Which confuses a lot of his people because wasn't he just making all kinds of insinuations like two seconds ago?) He's a class a dreamer and has his head in the clouds a lot. Unless of course he's working on something or sees someone attractive, because then he's focused. Deep down, Tadashi is rather innocent in his ideals. He's one of those people that when asked what he wishes for his response would probably be "for everyone to be happy sounds pretty cool". 

[b]History: [/b] Tadashi is the youngest of three children, and seems to possess the ability to eternally disappoint his parents. It really started even before he was born, with his older brother and sister being prodigies at just about everything they did. And there was Tadashi, who while he wasn't stupid by any means, wasn't nearly as advanced as his siblings were. While they excelled forward academically, Tadashi was always a more social creature. It also didn't help that he was a very hands on learner. A lot of the information presented to him went completely over his head. 

While his grades were never stellar, he managed to stay on the very bottom of what his parents deemed acceptable. That was, until his second year of middle school, when Tadashi started hanging out with people that his parents considered bad influences and found his love for building things. There were no teachers to tell him anything. He had to learn it all by himself and that was how he liked it. Shortly before he fell in with the "wrong" crowd, he started to notice a kid that was the frequent victim of the neighborhood bullies. He hadn't considered the two of them friends. After all, friends would imply that you knew someone's name, which Tadashi didn't until a few years down the road. Maybe acquaintances was a better word. 

There were a series of incidents that the police never directly linked back to Tadashi, but he was certainly the cause of. All but one could be termed as attempts at whatever he was trying to build gone wrong. They resulted in a few damaged buildings and once landed him in the hospital under a made up name for a few hours. The incident that wasn't an accident was the result of his parents kicking him out after he announced that he wasn't going to go on for any higher education. It had never been the right fit for him. After all, he was the one that everyone referred to as "the dumb kid that's always smiling" behind his back. Maybe he had been a little bit intoxicated when it happened, and maybe this time he made sure that no one could trace the charred remains of the building back to him, but that's all just speculation. 

After that, Tadashi got a part time job as a mechanic in a part of the city far enough away from his parents that he wouldn't have to worry about running into them. Even though he was living in a rundown apartment and practically lived off of microwave food (cooking has never been one of Tadashi's strong points), he was happier than he'd ever been at home. There wasn't the constant feeling that he was a disappointment because he didn't pursue the path his parents wanted him to, and there was no one to say who he could or couldn't bring home at night. Not that he ever really did, because Tadashi almost always ends up too oblivious or embarrassed to follow through on his insinuations. 

And then he ran into the kid who had been a few years older than him that kept getting beaten up back near his home when they were younger. One thing lead to the next and soon he was a member of JUNGLE. 

[b]Other: [/b] Tadashi has a collection of cars and motorcycles, most of which he's restored himself.[/hider]

[b]Name:[/b]
Saito Iwasaki

[b]Age: [/b]
Twenty-one years old.

[b]Role: [/b]
Second-in-command of the Red Clan

[b]Occupation: [/b]
Full-time co-leader of HOMRA
[b]Appearance: [/b]
[b]Hair color: [/b] Hazel
[b]Eye color: [/b] Blue
[b]Height: [/b] 179 cm (5'10)
[b]Weight: [/b] 69 kg (152 lbs)
[b]Skills: [/b]
As a high school dropout, Saito may not be the brightest individual in Japan, but it would be incorrect to label him as blatantly unintelligent - he was smart enough to maintain his grades in order to remain a member of his numerous extracurricular activities. During those school years, he was a noteworthy member of the fencing club, and was second only to its star fencer, Cho Sasagara.

Saito was also a chief member of Ashinaka's varsity basketball team, and led the team during his last year before dropping out, leaving with a tournament victory under his belt.
[b]Powers & Abilities: [/b]
Red Aura: As a Red Clansman, Saito is able to conjure and manipulate the chaotic, fire-based Red Aura. He can cloak the crimson flames across the blade of his weapon, or even his own hands, to deal a destructive increase in damage to individuals, establishments, and other foreign auras. Saito, being the second-in-command, exerts a masterful authority over the Red Aura.
[b]Personality: [/b]
Saito is an odd fellow with no clear definitions. Priding himself as the rebellious and daring co-head of the Red Clan, he is a wily individual possessing a disrespectful manner of speech that is yet to result in his tongue being cut off.

Outspoken and vocal about his opinions, Saito largely emphasizes the greatness of the Red Clan, and is disconcerned about affiliates of the rival clans. He dislikes being labeled as a single trait, and strives for an exciting life with no barriers, enjoying the adrenaline from commiting bad deeds. Naturally, Saito harbors a hatred for the other clans attempting to persecute them.

That goes without saying, Saito is not heartless like many would assume about the average criminal. He is selfless and devoted to his fellow clansmen, always offering to keep them entertained through his treks across Shizume City. He hates to be addressed formally, and prefers to be called by his first name with no honorifics - this has led to him creating nicknames for the people that he meets.
[b]Biography: [/b]
The childhood of Saito Iwasaki was a rough patch. As the youngest of three sons who were over ten years apart, his family lived in the poorer district of Shizume City, and was subject to poverty. Six years into his life, both his father and mother were laid off from their jobs, which made the family of five desperate. His father, along with his two older brothers, decided to fight their fate and resorted to planning grand-schemed heists in order to provide for the family.

The crime stint between his father and brothers did not last long. After an attempted robbery of a bank failed and resulted in the death of two police officers, the trio were cornered by the authorities, and sentenced to life imprisonment for all of their combined felonies. This left Saito and his mother on their own, and without his father's pride to prevent it, the two sought the help of a relative, and they were taken in.

Moving into the middle class sector of the city was a perfect time for Saito to begin his education. During his first year of elementary school, he met Cho Sasagara, of whom he became quick friends with. He flew through the many years of school alongside her, and when he hit junior high, he heard many rumors of a genius who had skipped many grades and was already on their way to even more advanced education.

Saito was well-liked all throughout his school years; he was popular among all of his classes, dated several girls, and primarily, involved himself in the fencing club and basketball team when he entered high school. Though he lost out to Cho in becoming the best fencer in the club, basketball was his talent; he had become the team captain by the end of his second year.

Life was great for the boy who had seemingly turned his life around with all of the positivity surrounding him, though, the home phone ringing on a curious morning changed everything once more. Saito was told that his mother had been involved in a car accident after a police cruiser chasing a getaway car crashed directly into her own vehicle, instantly killing her upon impact.

After the phone call, Saito stopped going to school completely, and cut off communications with the outer world. He withdrew from society and became a hikikomori, staying inside his house all day and playing video games. Eventually, his relatives took notice of this, and attempted to force him to change his ways back to normal for the sake of his own life; he refused, and ran away from home.

Saito was left on the streets, afterwards. No one had come for him; not his relatives, not his basketball team, not even his childhood friend bothered. He had become a vagrant in the flesh, and at seventeen years old, he had a fateful meeting with Shusuke Kamishiro. The two became fast friends, and he learned that he had been the genius that spawned all of the rumors during junior high school.

Inevitably, Saito was forced to return to school, where he came to find out that everything that he had worked for had vanished. His membership of the fencing club, his spot on the basketball team; he was to be held back another year. Learning this, he made the decision to drop out completely, and left Ashinaka High School for good during his junior year, angry that Cho had come too late. Soon after, he became Shu's first clansman, and the two of them formed what is now the Red Clan.

[b]Role: [/b]
Member of the Blue Clan

[b]Occupation: [/b]
Full-time Officer of SCEPTER 4

[b]Skills: [/b]
- Due to the fact that she is rather light, Cho can easily sneak up on someone without being detected.

- Cho is very skilled in the art of swordplay.

- As an avid artist, she spends her free time painting. She often paints colorful scenes, such as landscapes in autumn or sunsets over oceans.

[b]Powers: [/b]
Blue Aura: Like the rest of the Blue Clansmen, Cho is granted the ability to be able to carry out attacks in rapid succession. She can draw her aura into her sword or use it as a shield to protect herself from attacks. However, Cho primarily uses her aura for defensive uses, as it should be used.

[b]Personality: [/b]
To her friends and allies, Cho is a rather warm woman; she is someone why smiles, laughs, and jokes often, and knows how to have fun at appropriate times. She has made sure to bond with as many of the Blue Clansmen as she could, and not many members of SCEPTER 4 do not know who she is, even if they only know her by name. To those who do not know her well, Cho is a cheery and talkative woman who knows how to handle herself. 

Cho’s downfall is that she is extremely stubborn and persistent. Once she sets her sights on something that she wants to do, she will often find a way to do it, one way or another. Thus, Cho is known as someone who will irritate a person to no end with her attempts at persuading them.

To enemies or potential threats, however, Cho is a completely different person. Her smile is replaced with a stern, almost deadpanned expression, and her sparkling, amber-brown eyes are set to a glower. She is one who leaps into battle first and asks questions later, which can lead to her getting in trouble with higher-ups later on.

[b]History: [/b] 
Cho was born on a cold November night to a rather small and anxious, yet loving, family. Her mother spoiled her to bits and her grandparents always visited her when they had time. However, Cho never had a paternal figure; she was a bastard daughter, and once her father found out that her mother was with child, left. Even though her father never came into the picture again, her mother successfully raised her to become a proper woman with the help of her own parents. 

She began to take an interest in art when she was rather young. Cho's small home was often littered with crude drawings and paintings of family members and animals. Her mother, noticing Cho's keen interest in painting, enrolled her in art classes. After a few years of attending those classes, she became a rather good painter, and often won art contests held in her elementary school.

It was when she was in elementary school that she met Saito Iwasaki. Even though he often pushed her around and took the snacks that she brought to class, the two became friends rather quickly. Years flew by, and before she knew it, she found herself graduating elementary school and enrolling in Ashinaka High School.

Cho strived to become the best in her classes, promising that she would make something of herself in the future. She enrolled in honors classes and always kept her grades above average, and she was always one of the top ten students in her classes. Being ahead of her classes and finding herself with a lot of free time, Cho joined Ashinaka’s fencing club with her friend Saito; with practice and determination, she quickly became the star fencer, and was finally able to avenge her stolen juice pouches through beating him.

Her high school years were as normal as any other student’s; she studied, participated in her club, dated, and thought about her future. Cho decided that she wanted to become a police officer in her junior year, and continued to fight to achieve her goal. It was during the end of that year that she found out that her friend, Saito, had flunked his classes. Even though Cho was disappointed, she assured herself that Saito would get himself back onto his feet and graduate with her. However, Saito dropped out of high school the very next year. No matter how much she pleaded for him to return to school, Saito’s answer was always “no”. Frustrated and angry at her friend, she abandoned all attempts at convincing him to complete high school, and instead focused on finishing her last year and applying to academies. Cho graduated as one of the top ten students in her class, and went on to study in a police academy.

Cho studied in the police academy for two years. Even though she was a rather new police officer, her potential caught the eye of SCEPTER 4. She was recruited into their ranks when she was twenty years old, and has been diligently working for them since then.

[b]Other:[/b] 
- Her birthday is November 19th.

- Cho has a habit of biting her lip in a variety of situations. 

- She hums and sings when she is bored.

Kouki has round, vividly blue eyes that look exactly like his father's. In contrast, his hair is bright red that he got from his mother. He also wears glasses because he's got vision problems, but they tend to fall off or be left random places.[/center] 
[b]Name:[/b] Kouki Kumini 
[b]Age:[/b] 5 
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Role:[/b] Strain, Blue King's Son
[b]Occupation:[/b] Being a 5-year old. 
[b]Skills:[/b] Given that he's 5, Kouki lacks any distinguishable skills. His dad did teach him how to make a very good peanut butter and jelly though. And he's decent at putting together jigsaw puzzles together. He enjoys drawing but that's not to say he's very good at it.

[b]Powers:[/b] 
Healing: As a strain who's powers focus around healing, Kouki is able to heal himself and others physically and relieve some mental distress. It should be noted that as he hasn't entered school yet, no one is aware of these powers (including his father), and being as young as he is, Kouki has very little control over them.

[*]Increased Healing Rate[/*]

[*]Ability to Heal Others At the Cost of His Own Energy[/*]

[*]Impose Others Injuries on Himself (Essentially Removing Them From the Other Person)[/*]

[*]Impose His Own Injuries on Others (Essentially Removing Them From Himself)[/*]

[*]Acts As A Calming Agent (Others within a Close Radius to Him Feel Relieved of Some Mental and Emotional Stress)[/*]
[/list]

[b]Personality:[/b] Kouki is a somewhat shy boy who is slow to open up to others. Once used to a person though, he is all smiles and is very talkative. He enjoys listening to stories and likes asking questions, even if he doesn't always understand answers. He doesn't like seeing other people be upset either. He doesn't like being alone though, and would rather be with a person he doesn't know (even if he is uneasy around them) than be by himself. This might stem from some of his earliest memories of worrying that his Dad wasn't going to come home after being away for a night or two. Kouki also really likes animals, but the apartment he and Mikami live in has a no pet policy.

[b]History:[/b] Kouki is the son of the current Blue King, Mikami, and a woman he met and had a one night stand with during the end of this law school days. His mother left shortly after he was born, dropping him off on the new Blue King's doorstep and never returning. He's never questioned not having a mother, as his father has been the only parental figure in his life since shortly after he was born. As it is, he spends most days and the nights that Mikami can't make it home with the older lady that lives in the apartment next to theirs. Currently, he's too young to go to school but he'll be starting next year.
