[/b][/i][/center] [hr] [b]Name[/b] [indent][i]"Kabeyama Chikage"[/i][/indent] [b]Age[/b] [indent][i]"15"[/i][/indent] [b]School Year[/b] [indent][i]"Second year"[/i][/indent] [b]Height[/b] [indent][i]"152cm"[/i][/indent] [b]Weight[/b] [indent][i]"68kg"[/i][/indent] [b]Magic Color[/b] [indent][i]"Yellow"[/i][/indent] [hr] [b]Appearance[/b] [indent][i]"Chikage's most notable features are her eyes and hair: she is a natural red head (Her father share the same hue as she does) though her golden eyes are most notably odd, as no one in her family has every had such traits. Aside from that, Chikage bashfully hides the fact that she has a very muscular and well toned body: she often helps her family's logging business allowing her to work up the muscles, as well as short-lived career as a dancer and her current career in women's wrestling. When it comes to outfits Chikage is fine simply with her school uniform, but otherwise dresses appropriately for the situation. Often she would wear clothing that are not form fitting, or at least could hide her figure. The only time she wouldn't is when she's working as a wrestler, and that's assuming that no one who knows her sees her. Because she's still a newbie she doesn't have a wrestling uniform, and instead change to a simple body tights."[/i][/indent] [center] [hider=Transformed][img]http://i.imgur.com/Ote5jBo.jpg[/img] When transformed Chikage is notably taller (201cm) with grey hair instead of her usual red. Her body is also more mature. Her hair is always short in this form, but changes back to whatever length it was before when she isn't transformed. Her skin is also tanner for some reason. Lastly and perhaps only unique to her, scars Chikage gets in this forms remain in this form, but do not show in her normal form. Additional scars or wounds she would have gotten in her normal form also disappears quickly, but reveal themselves when she's using this one.[/hider][/center] [b]Personality[/b] [indent][i]"If Chikage had to describe herself, she would say that she is boring, fairly lazy, and only works when one of the motivations is "Failure". There is some truth in it: Chikage has no greater aspirations in her life and thus has no drive or ambition to do anything. She's fairly easy to please and doesn't require anything exotic or extreme. It's only when her boring and easy life may be compromised would she find the strength within herself to go above and beyond her ability, and only long enough to correct the balance. That being said, Chikage does have some hobbies that makes her "interesting", however even those are just excuses for her to entertain her time. However deeper down, Chikage does wish for more in her life. Growing up on her brother's mangas and stories, she shares his interest in "Doing good in the world", though she isn't certain she's willing to go to the same lengths as he is. Chikage wants to see herself as some sort of badass hero who can live a normal life regularly, but can also stop trouble when she's around. She also wants to be able to give back to her family, friends, and her community, however she can. She isn't dedicated to the idea of being a hero, but she certainly wouldn't mind having the ability to fulfill the role of one. Chikage however is also very apathetic and cynical. She hasn't quite given up on the world, but she knows that for all the light in the world, there will always be shadows where evil will grow. At her worse, she'd admit that she thinks that the world is already Hell; everyone simply just tries making a living in it. Chikage's apathy allows her to continue her life and routine without really changing herself, even in the face of "Life-changing" situations. On one hand it allows her to keep her cool in most situations, but on the other hand she isn't in any hurry to try to fix it either."[/i][/indent] [b]Background[/b] [indent][i]"Chikage is the youngest child of three, and the only daughter of a family of loggers. They are actually quite a wealthy family, one who owns land around a mountain where they grow and sell lumber. Chikage's father is actually a third-generation Japanese-American, who moved back to Japan to inherit the family business. Thanks to his time in America, Chikage's father has quite a different mindset from the usual natives, which helped shape Chikage's life. For starters, she was instilled with her father's sense of "Equality": That you'll be judged by what you can do, rather than who you are. For her, this meant that even if she was a girl, she was to be treated the same way as her sons were, and expected to compete equally to them. That's not to say that she couldn't exploit this and make her brothers do "Girly" things like chores and cooking. As far as Chikage's childhood goes, hers was fairly standard beyond a few unique occasions. Despite her strange appearance she was never really picked on by others for her hair or eyes, and she generally got along with most students. She proved both her gentleness by gaining a few crushes, but also her assertiveness for always standing up against bullies and gossips. Chikage was seen as mildly confrontational in her youth, but ultimately it just served to show that she wasn't one who was willing to be stepped on. But her plain youth also fueled a sense of boredom in Chikage. There was no trauma, no cause, no real issue in her life that would make long-lasting harm to her body or psyche. She was simply... Normal. Because of her relative normalcy, she tries to do things differently to spice up her life. At first it was just reading her brother's mangas, most which belonged to the eldest. She read stories of heroic adventures and using one's unique abilities or skills to change the world. Things that Chikage hoped to do, but never found the confidence or talent to preform herself. Chikage is also going through a slight rebellious phase, culturally that is: Aside from mangas she largely rejects mainstream Japanese music for American music: Rap, Hip-Hop, and various instrumentals from rock and jazz. She wanted to figure out a way to be "Different". She wanted to feel like she really could stick out and be memorable."[/i][/indent] [b]Powers[/b] [indent][i][b]Card: XX - Judgement[/b] "Judgement is the culmination of decisions. Once Judgement is made, the only thing left to do is execute it. When Chikage uses the power of Judgement she can "Smite" her foe: She chooses a single target of her Judgement and against that one opponent she gains additional bonuses. Her attacks are more effective and their attacks against her are weaker. When fighting against that foe Chikage's own abilities are also bolstered, allowing her to better execute her Smite against them. Occasionally she may even obtain a new power to use against them, such as flight. However Chikage can only chose one target for her Smite each time she transforms, and cannot change the target or use her smite again until she does another transforms." [/i][/indent] [b]Skills[/b] [indent][i]"One of Chikage's most proud skills is her strength: she's been logging since she was eight years old and her body proves it. She uses her strength in wrestling as well: what she lacks in skills she makes up for with sheer raw power. Chikage has a lot of stamina to allow her to work long and work hard, though most of her conditioning is in endurance and strength. She lacks agility and fineness, preferring to simply solve issues by applying as much force as she can. Chikage is an amateur wrestler, though she does know a few "practical" skills for self-defense in the forms of joint-locks, momentum control, and pins. Chikage also knows how to use her strength effectively: while she's no martial artist she knows how to throw a punch and where it'll be most effective. She also has a decency amount of accuracy at throwing objects, though she's has a certain affinity for rocks. Outside of physical skills Chikage is also capable of doing a wide array of vocal impressions. As long as she doesn't have to do anything too straining such as singing or shouting, she could emulate other people's voices quite easily. All she needs to do is listen to them talk so she could understand their tone and accents. Chikage is also very skilled at reading quickly, at odd angles, or from a far distance, as well as writing and typing in a flash. She competed in NaNoWriMo and finished a roughly 50,000 worded novel in ten hours, all (messily) hand written. Chikage also has a keen tongue and is able to discern taste and flavors with astute memory if she had them before, though this is a double-edge sword as some food has too much flavor for her taste. Lastly, Chikage is the undisputed master of the prize grabbing machines. Not only will she always get something each time she plays, she has the skills to get things that would be practically impossible to obtain, such as prizes buried underneath other prizes, or more than one prize at a time. Many suspect magic, and Chikage wouldn't disagree."[/i][/indent] [b]Weapons[/b] [indent][i]"Chikage neither owns or carries weapons, though she's quite capable of improvising on the fly. She prefers simple and sturdy weapons like rods, staffs, or clubs. If all else fails, she could just punch someone. While she's transformed she gains a bodysuit adorned with spikes for extra damage. Her bodysuit is also rather durable allowing Chikage to use her limbs as bludgeons."[/i][/indent] [b]Equipment[/b] [indent][i]"Chikage carries most of her belongings in what she calls her "Bag of Holding", which is basically a laptop bag. It contains most of her school supplies including said laptop. Additionally, if she is wearing long sleeves she also has armbands where she would tuck her cellphone and wallet into (not in the same armband of course). One of her armbands even allows her to use her phone normally while it's tucked in, which she refers to as her "Pipboy"."[/i][/indent] [b]Other[/b] [indent][i]"Chikage has two older brothers, one who is 17 and the other who is 20. Her eldest brother left Japan to serve as a volunteer worker somewhere in Africa, while her older brother goes to her school. He's something of a delinquent and does her best to stay out of his way, though he has a somewhat protective possessiveness over her. Chikage's mother and father mainly work at the logging company, with his mother organizing paperwork and administration while her father is a CEO, though he is more than willing to do the hard work himself. Chikage has a black pet cat name Train who often follows her to school."[/i][/indent] [center][h1]Theme[/h1] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDeu9Z5p6FQ[/youtube][/center]
