Um...sorry, my leaving message was part of a bigger thing that got posted by accident to here, and I didn't notice it until now in this thread because of mid-term exam stuff and didn't plan on leaving. I...actually just finished my signup. Sorry and I'll understand if you no longer want me here. Name: Kitagawa Touya Age: 14 Appearance: [url=http://safebooru.org//samples/1134/sample_d0561f85fc07c1caa21e5736de82b9019bc36f64.jpg?1179388] in western dress to attend a family business meeting. [/url] Personality: Touya is polite, standoffish and reserved for the most part, but gets surprisingly fired up in battle, especially against strong opponents. Once he really gets to know people he warms up considerably, but until then will just be polite if cold. He practices and trains himself relentlessly in order to be a better fighter and martial artist generally and wants to be the very best he can even at risk of his own health, and more than likely sees fighting monsters as just another way he can prove his strength to himself and others, rather than wanting to be any sort of hero. Being raised to be a perfect gentleman and representative of his clan and being mostly home-schooled, he speaks in a very odd, faux-archaic manner most of the time. Background: Touya was born into a very respected and well-known zaibatsu that also has a long history of martial arts, and has been groomed from day one to be their heir. As such he's been mostly isolated from other people, home-schooled in between attending business meetings to learn his family's trade and endless hours of practicing their traditional martial arts styles. Other than that he mostly read books on various different subjects and was forced to study calligraphy, tea ceremony, business tactics and many other 'gentlemanly pursuits' As well in order to be 'the perfect representative of his family' living a rich but incredibly disciplined life. Abilities: Spell 1: Tortoise Destruction Wave! Despite its' name, actually just forms a small, high speed wave of water and a tortoise shell of ice under Touya's feet, allowing him to surf on a miniature wave at high speeds for fast maneuvering. The wave can knock back enemies in it's wake occasionally, but can't deal damage. Spell 2: Ice Shell [i]Impact[/i] A stylized tortoise shell that forms on his wrist, while it can be used as a weak shield or to increase the impact of his strikes, its real use and power is as an ice-firing hand cannon using the tortoise's retractable head as the barrel of a gun. Touya detests using it's real ability as it goes against his nature as a martial artist.
