I feel bad about triple posting again, but I'd like to make it clear that everyone can sign up with up to [b]two[/b] characters, including if you're using a villain. I'm saying this because I decided to introduce a human character to help out with some things. ^^; [list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Sasegawa Hikaru [*][u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 15 [*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female(as of now everyone should believe her to be male) [*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [url=http://vitavitaar.deviantart.com/art/Ozawa-Hikaru-671408649]Hikaru has light skin, very dark red hair, dark red eyes, and tends to wear black clothing.[/url] She is just under five feet tall. Copious amounts of binding are involved. [*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Hikaru is a very serious individual. Her belief is that she must focus on her work as a detective above all else, even to the detriment of all other aspects of her life. Wishing to honor her father's memory, and to be taken seriously, Hikaru disguises the fact that she is a girl. She believes that others would doubt her skills and think that she only achieved her dream of being detective because her father was a highly respected detective himself. She is deeply self-conscious of this fact and fears that this belief would tarnish her father's memory, and therefore she hides her femininity. Hikaru has no friends to speak of, dedicating most of her free time to detective work. She is proud of her work, and takes pride in doing things properly. When she cooks, she follows recipes to the letter. When she works, she carefully inspects every single angle. Hikaru is very blunt and to the point, and somewhat unhesitating to call others stupid or foolish. This is both due to scorn at times and due to her tendency to plainly state what she perceives. Hikaru is very self-conscious about her femininity, and hides her figure in concealing clothing as a result. She is actually quite easily embarrassed or flustered in spite of her blunt attitude, but it's not likely that anyone will find it easy to do so while she still is believed to be male. Finally, Hikaru has difficulty understanding romance or why anyone would desire it with her, feeling very awkward about the prospect. While she is celebrated by the police, she also is aware of being resented for her youth. [*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Hikaru is extremely intelligent and analytical, excellent at observation and analysis of her surroundings. A skilled detective in spite of her young age, Hikaru has solved multiple cases, including murders, using her capabilities. She is also a remarkably capable cook, but only when using recipes. She also excels at marksmanship, being trusted with a revolver in spite of her young age and the strict gun control laws in Japan(obviously not on school grounds). [*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Hikaru carries with her, when she is not on school grounds, a police-issue revolver. Aside from that, most of her typical detective equipment is on her person at all times. This includes the means to dust for fingerprints and various other methods of observation. [*][u][b]Soul Arts:[/b][/u] [u]BANG! A Shocking Development!!![/u] - Hikaru's Soul Art is inserted directly into her palm. Once inserted, she gains a translucent pistol alongside her revolver, which can fire bolts or bullets of electricity. The bolts are more powerful, but the bullets can hone in on her targets. [*][u][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/u] Hikaru was born to Sasegawa Mami and Sasegawa Ryouji. Sadly, her mother passed away not long after her birth, leaving her to be raised by her father. Hikaru was brought up on stories of justice, stories of detective work paying off in getting the bad guy. Naturally, her own dreams were formed by this, and she made the decision to become a detective herself, just like her father. This goal was furthered by her naturally high intelligence and analytical attitude. Unfortunately, none of this could prepare her for her father's death on the case. Now living with a friend of her family's, Aoi Yumeko, Hikaru resolved to become a detective who could uphold the Sasegawa family name and carry on her father's legacy. Fearing that she would be treated as nothing more then the product of nepotism due to detective work largely being a male profession, Hikaru decided to hide her female nature and pretend to be male. Working with the police force, she has solved multiple cases that include several murders. She is currently assigned to the Strange Gospel case. At Yamamura High, she is believed to be male and has a very long list of female admirers.[/list] ... Before anyone says anything, I know she is basically Naoto(the one Persona 4 character I know anything about) but that was by accident until I realized what I'd done and just decided to roll with it. ^^;
