I was originally going to do a female character but it seems we have a lot of those already so male it is!

[color=ed1c24][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] [color=8493ca]He carries a bead thats dark red with eyes covering it's surface. At a glance the eyes look painted on but when viewing the object out of the corner of your eye the eyes will search the room, blink or stare right back. With the flick of this object into the air it'll hold steady at the highest point causing time to seemingly slow for any innocent bystanders in the area. An image of one of these eyes will appear in their mind along with a soothing voice whispering words that seem as though spoken in another language and not understood.[/color]
[color=ed1c24][b]Other:[/b][/color] [color=8493ca]Elliot isn't afraid to make a mess though he always gets the job done. He's agile and flexible. He will speak loudly and aggressively if he doesn't agree with something. He's also experienced in the art of Youkai slaying and often makes a game of it.[/color]

Elliot's foot touched the ground briefly after a dodge from his opponent. His katana was still sheathed and in his right hand was his large stainless steel revolver. The air was wet and the crimson sky glowed againest the youkais glistening back and head. He was tall with lengthy limbs and a short torso. Each arm extended in front of him as he stood posed as a large gorilla would staring at his opponent with dark grey eyes. Elliot tucked into a roll just in time to dodge another of this youkais punch like attacks. The sound of brick crumbling behind him stuck the hairs up at the back of his head. The sultry voice of his bead whispered in the air echoing off the alleys walls.

Elliot stepped back, [color=orange]"Four rounds left."[/color] he said to himself under heavy breathes. His face dripped with the rain and his clothes were soaked. No producing fire in this weather, though his skin was still warm. He exhaled quickly, finding his footing then aimed the sights of his revolver at the eyes of the beast. Shot one, miss, the Youkai is a little to far for long ranged accuracy. Shot two, impact received, the Youkai screeched in pain recoiling back as a dark purple goo oozed from his lower torso. Shot three, aiming for the Youkais ducked head, missed the head, hit the shoulder, more screams of pain. Each echo shot cold bolts down Elliots back. The Youkai was furious now.

In a high leap it landing over Elliot, canvassing over him with the large mass of his body then flung him aside in one swift motion. Elliots body crashed into the brick wall on the right knocking his revolver out of his heads. The Youkai stood before sprinting toward him, Elliot jumped to the side in just enough time to feel the body of his enemy touch the tip of his shoe. He landed in a puddle of water, the scratches on his back from the bevels in the bricks burned with touch of the salty mud. Elliot accessed the situation as quickly as he could. The Youkai was between himself and his revolver which was 40 paces away. His hand felt back to the hilt of his katana and drew it from it's sheath. The clean metal glowed red with the reflection of the moonlit red sky.

Elliot ran towards the enemy, sword in hand slashing at his limbs as he ran underneath him. The beast wailed and dropped, slashes of purple goo puddle underneath him. The Youkais head was dropped to the floor as he tried working his way back up to a standing position, pain running through every limb. Elliot sprinted towards his revolver, picking it up in a sweep the arched his sprint running back towards the beast. With only four feet between them the barrel of the gun pointed right between the beasts eyes and the trigger was pulled sending a crack like boom of a ripple down the alley. Purple blood exploded from the surface, covering Elliots clothing and dripping from the tips of his hair. The youkai squirmed behind it's mutilated face, [color=orange]"Say goodnight." [/color] Elliot said, lifting his Katana and in a quick chop severed the head of the Youkai from it's body. He grabbed it by the hair and dragged it behind him to turn in his contract, leaving the mess of goo and crumbling brick in his wake. With a whistle, and an outstretched hand, his bead muted it's whispers and returned to his palm where he tucked it into a pocket under his sleeve.
