Alright, here we go >:) [hider=The dead guy] [b]Name:[/b] [i][color=lightskyblue]"The name of this unlucky schmuck who's body I stole? Let me check his ID for a sec. Here we go… Kisuke Kimura? The hell kind of boring ass name is that? Whatever, I can work with this."[/color][/i] [b]Age:[/b] [i][color=lightskyblue]"IDs don't got age on them do they? Oi, birthday, right, right… Wait. This ID is fake as shit. This dude is not 23."[/color][/i] [b]Gender:[/b] [i][color=lightskyblue]"To be honest I kind of forgot what I used to be, but this dude is definitely a dude."[/color][/i] [b]Appearance:[/b] [i][color=lightskyblue]"Funny thing is anybody who's body I inhabit get their hair colour bleached out when they die. I didn't mention that did I? But one look at me and you'd think I was dead already. The bandages are so I can keep my flesh on me, and this dude isn't that tall so I don't have to use as many. I gotta admit, that's pretty good."[/color][/i] [b]Backstory:[/b] [i][color=lightskyblue]"I don't remember enough for a full history. I can't even really try to remember when it all started, but I can at least give you a rundown of my last few bodies. You'd think somebody minding their own business would be free to just chill and stay alive, you know. But man, every time somebody just has to just up and ruin it for themselves and kill me. Yeah, I'm a ghost. I don't get how it really works, and I don't really care either. If someone kills me, the grudge gets them. It's like a part of me but not a part of me at the same time. I think every ghost has it, that's probably how poltergeists and whatever works, but my grudge is only for the person that ends me. It's like a curse, it instantly destroys their Mana Core and that usually kills them. I've never seen anybody live through that. Never tried it against anything without a Mana Core. I'm not tryna die here, that's the opposite of what I want." "But there's always going to be something that gets me killed. I was walking along, minding my own business when suddenly, [i]boom,[/i] knife in the gut from one unlucky motherfucker. Couple seconds later, dead body, not me, although it was me up until that second. I'd been in that body for too long already, it rotted pretty quick. I burned it anyway just in case. I lucked out on this guy. He was already a weirdo, carrying around a normal knife instead of an AE Drive or whatever they're called. You can get good cheap ones if you just want to mug somebody, but he had a normal pocket knife. Weirdo." "He also had dead parents and was also loner. Yeah he had classmates or whatever but none of them even asked about the bandages. People always ask about the bandages. Nobody even knew what this guy did in his spare time. Well he shanked me in that alleyway but I don't know what else he did in his spare time. I found his condo, with somebody else in it. He was behind in payments. I he'd have a job bot I had no idea what it was. I figured I should join a club to kill time because I didn't really care about much beyond not getting killed but I was getting really bored." "I joined the Zero Rankers since it didn't seem like they were up to much. They're not up to much. They're never up to much. I made a good choice."[/color][/i] [list] [*] [b]IE Skill:[/b] [color=lightskyblue][u]Abhāgya Bāhya: Outside the Saṃsāra of Life and Death.[/u][/color] The spirit has no knowledge of the inner workings of this Inherent Engine skill, although it's not significantly different from their impressions. As a sort of spirit grudge who has resisted the cycle of reincarnation, its Mana core has warped into something twisted. The spirit is a grudge which has persisted after death, the grudge of having been killed before their time. As a spirit this has conferred them with an insidious Internal Engine Skill. Upon being killed, the grudge activates and focuses all the power of its Mana Core to shatter the assailant's. The capacity of the Mana Core hardly makes a difference, an attack like this will pierce straight through most defences. If the rupturing of the Mana Core doesn't kill them, the shock will. The act of killing, regardless of if they are a sinner or a saint ranks highly amongst the transgressions. Retaliation, while not always justified becomes the lesser sin, and the grudge a lesser transgression. However, this spirit has already transgressed by refusing to become part of the cycle of life and death. This isn't just a gambit, this is desperation. Abhāgya Bāhya can only activate when the spirit has been consigned to death. There is no returning. If Abhāgya Bāhya fails, it's over. The spirit will finally experience a true death. The spirit's hold on its host body waxes and wanes over time. The weaker it is, the less likely the flesh will hold together. Weaker still, and the spirit's soul may even be forced to hide inside the Mana Core until the body regenerates to normal. This regeneration is caused by the world rebalancing, compensating for the presence of the dead leaving the body. Too long however and the body will die, but this sort of thing doesn't happen too often. [/list] [b]Active Engine Device:[/b] The spirit's Mana Core is completely non-functional outside of Abhāgya Bāhya. It won't even activate the weakest of AEDs. The human Kosuke Kimura wields a pocket knife and that's as good as it's going to get. [b]Skills:[/b] A spirit inhabiting a body needs time to adjust to it. Things like muscle memory exist, but they'll have no knowledge of the body's original fighting style or techniques. They may even have difficulties moving if the body is too incompatible. However, this spirit is extremely good at surviving with his unique condition. In all its time in this state it has never relinquished its hold on life. The spirit has an uncommon tenacity and willpower. [b]Rank:[/b] 0 [b]Club:[/b] [list] [*][b][u]Zero Rankers[/u][/b] Not all students are created equal. Some students are created far less equal than others. If you self-identify as any variation of "Shit", "Garbage", or "Sub-par Trash", this may be the club for you. Apart, we may be weak, but together we would still probably get breezed on, but at least we can pool our BP together to get some pizza for after the losses. What clubs are bold enough to get pizza delivered to the school? The Zero Rankers, that's who. Anyone over Rank 1 isn't allowed unless you're also above Rank 40 and if you are can you please join us so you can carry us? We're so tired of losing [/list] [/hider]
