[list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Shinosaki Shiki AKA Shishi
[*][u][b]Age:[/b][/u]17
[*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u]Male
[*][u][b]Race:[/b][/u]Human(Onmyoji)
[*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u][url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1577766]Not the most handsome lad. His voice matches his appearance, being soft and raspy.[/url]
[*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Shiki is a rather soft-spoken, introverted lad. He is not the most emotive nor socially skilled kind of guy, and more than often fails to notice his gaze is perhaps a little too penetrating. Intellectual and mature, Shiki rarely speaks without thinking things three times in his head, and he tends to enjoy investigation and discovery, even though he can be unaware of bounds sometimes. For those who get past his usual unsettling demeanor, Shishi lives up to his namesake, being fiercely protective of his friends and acquaintances, and he doesn't make a distinction between humans and youkai.
[*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] Shiki comes from a family of onmyouji, and as such he's versed in the art of using Ofuda for various purposes, such as exorcising, healing, summoning and barriers. He also uses the Ofuda to augment his physique when fighting. Shiki's affinity is Yin, which theoretically makes him more effective at causing negative effects than positive ones, but he loathes to admit it. This is what makes him to be able to use Youkai as Shikigami summons aswell. Currently, he has managed to successfully contract a couple of youkai under his orders. These are [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1832467]Yamabaka[/url], a dimwitted but eager oni and [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1787523]Aohime[/url], a very haughty Yuki-onna who styles herself as a princess (and she has the power to match) that nevertheless has a soft spot for Shiki (not that she'll ever admit it!).
[*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Shiki is a dilligent student and he excells in most academic subjects. He's also rather fit and athletic, practicing swordplay regularly. While not a sword-freak, he can actually hold his own in a fight. He is also a great listener, and he can do his house chores acceptably (he excels at sewing and cleaning)...except cooking. His cooking is his strongest debuff.
[*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Shiki carries a set of tags to make his ofuda,and his clothes are also lined in several of them aswell as well as special tags for summoning on his person. The katana he carries is actually imbued in one of his strongest curses, which he calls Stigma. This curse essentially creates a spiritual, as well as a physical wound on a target. It affects incorporeal beings, and one must lift the curse before allowing the wound to heal. Fortunately, the curse can only be effective within a limited timeframe, namely minutes, because it has an absurd mana consumption, although wounds caused by the curse will persist afterwards, until each wound is purified individually.
He also carries a pink cellphone (it was a gift from the Yukionna). Really.

[*][u][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/u]Shiki was born as the middle child on a semi successful family of Onmyoji. Ever since he was a kid, the lad had an air of creepiness around him. Nevertheless given that his family found out his affinity early enough, this wasn't much of a difficulty during his upbringing. Except the fact he could never get to befriend anyone. Guys either tried to bully him or shied away from him. Girls just found him gross. So he found solace in the family job of punishing evil spirits. And he was a good shot at it.

But he still had no friends. Shiki just resigned to his fate, and spent his last summer vacation travelling alone, roaming. Turns out that humans did rebuke him, but youkai did not. He was not creepy for them. And so that's how he managed to create lasting bonds, which culminated in recruiting a couple of them as shikigami after several misadventures. It was then when he heard about the Miura district, and how the Miura Youth Organization was recruiting. Perhaps there was a place in the world for the likes of him after all. And he could probably make more friends.[/list]
