Hmmm... considering I already have a CS for this very RP, I hope you don't mind if I announce interest. Would there be any changes you want me to make to my original CS?

Despite this, she is resolute and determined in accomplishing her goals. She has an iron-like resolve and is not prone to easily giving up. She is driven by the goal of finding the one who killed her father. She will go to great lengths to complete her goals, making her unpredictable at times. Hazel is also rather egotistical, believing herself to be the most skilled hunter in Shinkawa and impossible for any human to face one-on-one. Despite her negative traits, Hazel is a loyal friend that will protect those close to her. She can be is generally polite to those around her, and follows a strong code of honor. She dislikes seeing innocents suffer, so she is quick to lend a helping hand to those in need. Hazel also has a playful side, often teasing those she considers her friends. [b]Skills/Abilities:[/b] Hazel is agile and uses a quick combat style that emphasizes using a combination of superior footwork, sword handling, and rapid precision strikes to wear down an enemy and target their weak points. When placed on the defense Hazel is very quick and almost unhittable, opting to tire her opponents by making them waste attacks. She has little to no aptitude for magic, so she does not use it, relying purely on swordsmanship. Beyond her sword skills Hazel is an adept tracker, as is expected of most Hunters. She is very quick and has high endurance, so she is exceptionally hard to catch. Hazel is athletic, strong, and generally fit. [b]Equipment:[/b] Hazel's weapon of choice is a powerful sword that has been passed down in her family by generations, the Kusanagi. The sword, taken from Himoto and brought back to the west many years ago, is in the style of a Himoton katana. The sword has been fortified by powerful ancient magics and is nigh unbreakable, featuring a incredibly sharp cutting edge, capable of slicing even the strongest metal in twine. The sword carries with it the unique ability to control the winds, which can be used in many ways by the skilled warrior wielding it. In battle she dons light iron armor that may protect again only some wounds but does not restrict her movement. In addition to her combat gear Hazel will typically carry her wallet and her cell phone. [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] Hazel hails from a family of Hunters centuries old, famous in their homeland for their skills with the sword. Their family has great renown in western lands, but many years ago her grandfather faced a great shame, the details of which never revealed to Hazel, and decided to leave the west and come to Himoto, taking with him the Kusanagi. Back in the days when the world still seemed much smaller then it was, the ancestors of the Hosner's mounted an expedition into unknown waters. It was then that Himoto was first discovered by their homeland, and one of the things that was brought back was the Kusanagi. It was for this reason that Hazel's grandfather fled to Himoto, seeing it fit to return the sword to its home. The immigrant family established themselves in the city of Shinkawa, and began to practice their trade. Over the years they became known as reliable Hunters and were sought by many for their services. By the time Hazel was born their family had become established and wealthy, but that does not mean she had a comfortable upbringing. She was trained hard, as was customary within their family. Most of her childhood was spent with sword in hand, training with her siblings and father to become Hunters of Hosner caliber. Hazel was noted to be weaker then most of her sibling, and it was unlikely that she would be the one to inherent her grandfather's business. However, with renown and money came enemies. Many Hunters envied the success of the Hosner family, and they were seen as outsiders by some. It wasn't long until some scorned Hunter came seeking retribution. Although many Hunters tolerated competition this particular man couldn't stand the success of Hazel's family, and he challenged her father to a duel. It became clear that this man outclassed even a warrior of even her father's caliber, but he refused to surrender. And when it became clear that Hazel's father could not continue to fight, instead of stopping, the envious Hunter stuck him down. The police arrived much too late, and he escape. The family's business passed onto Hazel's eldest brother, but he refused to take action to find the man who killed their father, so Hazel left her family and decided to strike out on her own. She stayed in Shinkawa, but to this day has barely had any contact with her family, too stubborn and mad to forgive her brother's inaction. She trained harder then she ever had, and strove to become a swordsman stronger then her father. She also decided to take the Kusanagi, deeming her brother unworthy of her father's sword. Her family still doesn't know she's the one who stole it. After years of practice she has indeed become much stronger, and became and independent Hunter, seeking to make a living for herself, and always seeking to further her true goal: Avenger her father's unfair death.
