[hider=Akiyama Ushio] [list] [*][b]Name:[/b] Akiyama Ushio. Most definitely not also Rumbling Earth Maestro. [*][b]Age:[/b] 16 [*][b]Gender:[/b] Female [*][b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=806139]In her work uniform, apparently[/url] [*][b]Personality:[/b] Shy and skittish around others, Ushio tends to keep herself quiet and hidden from her classmates, and rarely speaks, even when spoken to. Believing herself to be weak and useless, contributed to with bullying in her younger years, Ushio prefers to just keep out of everyone's way and give them no trouble. Of course, deep in her heart, Ushio wishes she were more outgoing, but there's no way she could ever muster the courage to manage that... Hence why she dons a blue domino mask, donning her secret identity 'Rumbling Earth Maestro'. Believing herself to be completely unrecognisable with just a tiny mask, Ushio gains the strength necessary to not only become an outspoken, even theatrical individual. She also becomes quite the confident fighter with a surprising amount of skill for someone of her small stature and reluctant personality. One day, she hopes the mask won't be necessary, but until then... she can at least have a little fun with her completely concealed identity! [*][b]Skills:[/b] Ushio is rather good at housekeeping; serviceable cook, great at cleaning, and generally experienced at taking care of someone. Working as a maid certainly has its uses. Of course, there's also her skill with the naginata. She may not be the most skilled combatant, but she certainly makes up for it with hard work and determination! Probably. [*][b]Equipment:[/b] Divine Gear [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amenonuhoko]Amenonuhoko[/url], taking on the form of a naginata. The back of the blade is adorned by various gems. [*][b]Abilities:[/b] Based on the spear of the same name, Ushio's Divine Gear is capable of reshaping the immediate area around her, mostly in the form of creating small 'islands'; she can essentially raise parts of the ground very high into the air, creating a small platform in which she, ideally, holds the advantage in melee combat, and can alter the earth even further in necessary. However, this ability requires water as 'fuel', so try not to fight her during a rainstorm. Relatedly, Amenonuhuko's secondary ability is to drain water, which requires direct contact with the liquid in question. The weapon also has a maximum capacity, preventing her from infinitely siphoning water from oceans or something. [*][b]Brief Backstory:[/b] A girl from a typical household, with not much to say about her homelife. Growing up however, Ushio was always rather shy, and tended to avoid playing with other children. Unfortunately, this lead to some of the meaner kids picking on her, discouraging any kind of interaction between her and other children. This continued for quite a while, until one day, seeing that Ushio was alone, someone made a... rather strange offer for her. Well, more of a demand - become this stranger's maid and enjoy a whole ton of benefits. The very bemused Ushio, not realising this was a serious suggestion and not a game, was unable to say no, and has now spent the last few years under the employ a kind girl around her age. Slowly, Ushio built up her confidence, and wanting to better herself somehow, ended up attending Otsuki Academy with her employer, and even requested to have a Divine Gear made for herself. Now, believing that her employer is unaware of her new weapon, and donning a mask to help deal with her shyness, Ushio hopes to better herself and become someone stronger. [/list] [/hider]
