[hider=Ryuko Ishiniwa] [b]Name:[/b] Ryuko Ishiniwa [b]Age:[/b] 14 [b]Affiliation:[/b] Hero Brigade [b]Appearance:[/b][center][hider=Casual][img]http://i.imgur.com/c4IDopw.jpg[/img][/hider][hider=Transformed][img]http://i.imgur.com/9bJwOSm.jpg[/img][/hider] [/center] [b]Wish:[/b] [u][i]"I wish to prevent my brother from being harmed."[/i][/u] Ryuko's wish came from a desire to protect her brother, as he was the dearest thing in her life, if not even romantically so, though she could never admit it. [b]Soul Gem Color:[/b] Orange [b]Magical Weapon:[/b] Ryuko uses an over-sized hammer that she wields with great strength, using it's weight to smash her enemies. Ryuko can also ignite the small motor on either side of the hammer, causing it to make a small explosion when it lands a hit. [hider=Powers] (Core) [i]Skull Barrier:[/i] Ryuko can create a spherical barrier in the shape of a cartoon-stylized skull reminiscent of her old gang's symbol from her open palm. They protect from physical and magical harm in the immediate vicinity of the area the spell was cast in, usually as a personal shield around the user, but it can also be cast on other people and areas. They form instantly either around her or an external target that is within reach. The barrier can either be formed with a set amount of magical power that shatters when it's damage threshold is reached, or a continuous one that drains Ryuko for as long as it's active. (Secondary) [i]Rallying Point:[/i] Ryuko can plant a hammer at a location and use it to remotely set up a barrier at will. However, the hammer is consumed in the process, and the barriers are weaker in strength than those personally created by her. (Secondary) [i]Stunt Jump:[/i] Ryuko creates a barrier under her feet in midair that she can use as a physical platform and jump out of, granting her some degree of aerial mobility. (Secondary) [i]Homerun:[/i] Ryuko creates a smaller barrier that she launches as a magical projectile using a swing of her hammer, like a golf ball. Barriers generated in this manner can be destroyed with less power than defensive barriers.[/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Ryuko is always serious and determined in her actions, whether it is speaking with brutal honesty or clobbering her enemies until they're wet stains. She loves fighting to an absurd degree, and easily succumbs to her bloodlust, turning wild and reckless. She hates weak people, civilians and soldiers alike, and doesn't waste any chances at berating them. She is proud of her fighting skills, and loves showing them off whenever she can. However, despite all her abrasiveness, she has an honorable side to her, and respects others who have proven themselves as capable warriors to her, which is usually when they defeat her or otherwise impress her. Her trust is hard to come by, and she can be argumentative and skeptic about a lot of things. However, deep inside there is a vulnerable side to her that she keeps in check by focusing on her training. [b]Biography:[/b] Ryuko grew up in a pleasant rural village with her parents and big brother Tamaki, who was a part of a local gang and respected as one of their best fighters. She looked up to her big brother, and admired him for being strong always there to protect her. Their father however denounced Tamaki for his delinquent ways, and forbade Ryuko from seeing her when she turned 12. Ryuko still secretly met with Ryuko, and asked him to let her in the gang as well and teach her to fight. He eventually did, and Ryuko was happier than ever going to their secret meetings and getting to spend more time with him and his "friends", and in time she even developed a tiny precocious crush on him. The gang came to resent Tamaki for bringing his meddling sister to the mix, not helped by Tamaki's change in his attitude: at first Tamaki thought he was simply getting lucky when he turned invincible from Ryuko's wish, but after he was shot multiple times and survived he gradually went mad with power. One day he went so crazy as to try and take on the enemy gang on his own, and he was never seen again. Ryuko searched for him for weeks, but couldn't find him. She never truly recovered from what happened to Tamaki, but his words of encouragement inspired her to grow stronger so she can protect herself, and not rely on her brother like she used to. Her mother's death only furthered this development. Some time later, she moved to Miso City to escape from the gang violence that enveloped their village, and do her best in fighting for what she believes in, no matter how hard she has to struggle.

She also has experience in travelling, and so has some knowledge in basic survival.[/hider] Feel free to pick out secondary powers if they seem too much; this character was originally a veteran, so her powers are to that scale. She can also be on the Order side if there's an unbalanced number.
