Intro


The legends say that a long time ago the world was a better place than it's today. No dark clouds obscuring all but the littlest slivers of sunlight during the day, no blood red moon looming over the skies like the ominous eye of a foreign deity during the night, no monsters prowling the fields and the feeding on weak and the ill. Alas, all things must end one day and so did the old world.

The one we live now is a land where the few who can afford it, live their lives locked away in the few wretched hives of scum and villainy that pass as the world's last cities, each of them huge metropolises full of nothing but the worst humanity has to offer. These cities are run by the shadow corporation known as Yotsuba Technology Corporation, YTC for shorts, a company that rose to prominence after the fall of the old world and now runs it's remnant with an iron fist, being effectively the only form of government left on earth. Their only rule is profit.

Outside the cities things aren't pretty as well, in fact, the world is even more bleak to those who can't afford to live under YTC's security, even as beggars and rapscallions, for the world outside is the hunting grounds of the Youkai. Monsters of all sizes and forms, few of them aren't dangerous to humans, but the greater part are beasts that know only one thing... hunger. The price for freedom from YTC's rules is fear, for even the least rattling at a nearby brush could mean that one's life is forfeit.

To fight this darkness, warrior academies have been founded all over the world, using the power of a technology known as FLUX, the main source of energy in this dark world and channeling their own spiritual energy (present in all living beings), known as Zetsu, these warriors of the darkness came to be known as Chasers. The ones who manage to graduate from an academy are the world's last line of defense, the people's shield and their sword to fight back the shadows and... hopefully liberate the world, one day.

Now, you ask, what caused the world to become what it's today? The answer is simple. Long ago, during an event known today as the Crimson Overrule, a being of immense power, Tsukuyomi -The Prince of Moonlight- fought the Chasers and, despite their best efforts, he won. After this Tsukuyomi plunged the world in darkness eternal and retreated to his palace, leaving the people of the land to struggle for even the most basic needs.

Even now, Tsukuyomi watches from his blood-soaked throne, only the Chasers turn this predicament around, but... will they do it, or is history fated to repeat itself once again?

Juniper Finlay




"Bash, Smash and Crash!"


Name: Juniper Finlay

Title: Pink Pain

Gender: Female

Race: Hooman

Age: 16

Height: 5'1"

Weight: 111 lbs

Appearance: Juniper stands at 5'1 and weighs 111 pounds. Long pink hair and matching eyes, she is pale skinned and gymnastic. She has fairly cute features, which she only boosts with her big smile and excitable nature. On her wrists and ankles there are brands from the shackles she used to wear in her old slave days.

Juniper's clothes consist of thick armour. When she isn't wearing heavy gear, she likes pink. Lots and lots of pink. Pink skirts, pink dresses, pink tops and trousers, pink jackets. It lights her up like a beacon. Just look for a short girl in pink and that's most likely going to be Juniper.


Personality: Juniper is, in the nicest possible way, very excitable. She doesn't walk as much as she does bounce, and even the smallest thing can make her crack a mile long smile. She's cheerful, optimistic and upbeat, always looking on the bright side of life - no mean feat, as anyone can assure you. She adores sweet things, cute things and pink things. It could be a brain-eating demon from hell and she'll find it adorable if it's the right shade of fuschia. It takes a hell of a lot to get Juniper worried about something, and a hell of a lot more to make her melancholy.

Ultimately, she is most at home on the battlefield. Something about having boundless energy and utter jubilation even in the most life threatening of situations. She skips, dances and plays around the foe, regardless of their strength and skill, yet still performs well. She favours the war-pick as her weapon of choice, though she's perfectly happy using any heavy weapon. Tiny little daggers and short swords are beyond her. Despite her bouncy, quirky nature, she has something of a cruel streak and she's not above using violence to achieve her ends. Like anything else, she carries this out with total joy.

When she does get angry, upset or scared, it will be a very melodramatic display, often with enough waterworks to plumb a small African village or literal steam rising from her ears. She is very much a "slow to anger, quick to forgive" type and you can usually avoid her wrath by distracting her with something sweet or shiny. She's very materialistic, not thinking about big questions like what, why and how. She's a bit of a loudmouth and utterly shameless. Her short attention span can prove annoying, and her natural curiosity means she often pushes herself to find out things she isn't meant to know.


Short Bio: Pull up a chair, my friend, this is quite the tale.

Juniper Finlay was the daughter of a slave mother and her master father. As a child, she was sent to work down the mines, seeking out precious metals and gemstones to sell. Even at this young age, even with s harsh profession, Juniper was always going to be an upbeat, cheerful girl. Her arms and legs were branded by the superheated shackles, and she laughed and shrugged it off like it was nothing. She spent nine tenths of her time collared to a rock underground, and all she did was learn to appreciate the sunlight. She spent her work life whistling and singing like a caged canary as well as gathering gems and metals. Being the daughter of her master, her relationship with her dad was very love-hate. Sometimes he would be very tender and caring for his daughter, teaching her things like maths and English and occasionally spending time with her the way a father should, but then setting her near impossible quotas and punishing her harshly if she failed to meet them. She became very learned for a slave, a point of both respect and contention in her camp.

Soon, though, the workers had enough of it. After a brief period of planning, the slaves revolted against the slave drivers, hoping their superior numbers and strength would outweigh their lack of training and equipment. The revolt was... a total; disaster and was crushed with ease. But Juniper, being content where she was, didn't bother revolting. Imagine the surprise of the prison guards when they went into the mines only to see young Juniper working away happily as if her colleagues hadn't just been massacred outside. Her master was touched by her loyalty. If it were any other slave, they would have received some token gift and sent back to work. But this was the master's daughter. Unable to continue to send her to work in these conditions, he accepted her fully as his. She was maybe 11 at this time.

His daughter's chipper attitude and great strength impressed him, and he soon realised that her great strength could be used for better purposes. Rather than send her to work in the fields or mines, he used her as a guard. By the time she was 13, she had took down three revolts not unlike the one she had ignored, the one that put her in her position of power. It wasn't that she particularly enjoyed her position, she just didn't see the problem with what she was doing. She favoured the pickaxe and hammer she had used throughout most of her life, and soon her father was developing a specialised weapon that she could use to greater effect on the field. Of course, slaves aren't the only threats to her dad's business, and she had taken on several Youkai looking for easy kills. Her first Youkai kill may not have been particularly impressive, but it was better than her fellow guards could do.
Realising the potential that his daughter had, Juniper's father had her shipped her off to Akatsuki Academy, hoping he would return to him a seasoned warrior who could lead and train his guards.


Manifestation: Reactive Armour - The more damage Juniper takes, the tougher she becomes. This doesn't make her invincible, but she becomes harder to kill and it takes more to injure her as she takes hits.

Weapons: Her trusty War-Pick, a weapon that looks like someone crossed a hammer with a scythe. One handed. Combines brute force with a specialised sharp point, making it perfect for busting through heavy armour. It is attached by a length of steel rope to the gauntlet she wears, allowing her to throw it and retrieve it at will. The tip can also be infused with FLUX or gunpowder, which allows her to either strike for added effect or blast the weapon out the enemy when it's embedded in them and back to her hand.

Equipment: Metal rope, both for reclaiming the War-Pick and for tying folks up.

Other: Nothing important

Theme: Can't help but be reminded of this

Hmm... nope? Youkai are Youkai, just that. People treat them as monsters, because they are monsters, but under the current state of the world, there's little you can do if a mummy decides to build their newest pyramid/casino next to your house (they have the money, they do it), or about that freaking zombie rocker that you can't stand the songs of. Youkai are apart of society now, that's a fact.

The bad ones are the monsters that prey on people and cause chaos, those are the type Chasers hunt.

@Brithwyr

I'll check your CS in no time, but I got to say the your image is broken (don't mind that, seems it got good again. I'll never understand this site), however I check the URL and got to say that I like it, since I have done a very cherished D&D character using that very same one way back in the past.

@Jay Kalton

You're welcome to join, of course.

@j8cob

Both of your characters are good in pretty much everything (*note to self: create a Freddy-based Youkai*), except one part, powers. Your second character (Erisa) is ok (lower the range of her shots a bit, though), but the first one is way too strong in my opinion. Here are some points of concern:

- The amount of power he can "generate" is too big, I can't simply have a beginner character that has a power that is unlimited, even if it requires some time to charge. You can make it a quicker charge but lower it to a reasonable quantity of power a lightning's worth of power is already strong enough IMO.

- The fact that he can charge power without any visible signs is way too OP and, senseless as well. At the very least he should have one of these classic electricity user side-effects (sparks flying around him, a distinctive electric buzz, or ozone smell), naturally the size of the charge influences on the scale of the side-effects, so he can charge up to a certain portion of his power w/o looking like it, but when the power reaches a certain point (say, around a power line level) there should be an indication of what's going on, otherwise it's too strong for my tastes.

Sorry for the double post, but I'm on my phone and the stupid thing sometimes seems to have it's own will.

@Spriggs27

Your characters are ok, on my end.



Also, everyone, I should say, as is my tradition that any characters reviewed by me are still subject to @TheWindel's revision as well. You can post them, but obey whatever he says about what you should do. The contrary is valid, of course as well, if Windel reviews a CS while I'm not here, you can post it, but mind whatever I say later, if I do.

@KoL Surprised you didn't say Gaz's power was Oped since he could copy anyone's manifestations unless they were weapon based.
