Here's the sisters Hangai. I'll actually be posting a third character, I'll have him up soon after I give him a few tweaks. [center][hider=Friendly Neighborhood Onmyoji Crawler] [img]https://i.imgur.com/UEASvtf.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Pr2mbjd.jpg[/img] [color=9e0b0f][i][b]"All things are in flux, and nothing is permanent. What trash!"[/b][/i][/color] [u][b]Name[/b][/u]: Hangai Atsuha [u][b]Race[/b][/u]: Jorōgumo [u][b]Appearance[/b][/u]: Before being turned into an Jorōgumo, Atsuha was a young native woman with gentle features, with brown eyes and dark brown hair that reaches just past her shoulders. She often wore garb that was traditional with the Hangai clan while still human. In her spider form, she wears an elaborate white kimono on her human torso that still marks her as an onmyoji. Her hair has turned a silky white and hangs down low enough to reach her matching white spider limbs. In addition, she has developed a strange four pronged symbol on her forehead and grown large wooden horns on the side of her head that point downward. The most notable aspect of her being is what appears to be a small sakura tree thats growing from her arachnid abdomen. Some of her limbs also appear to have woody substances growing from them. Her pedipalps, as opposed to the rest of her spider body, were of a deep brown color. [u][b]Personality[/b][/u]: Atsuha can be described as having an odd temperament, usually appearing to be composed and taciturn as expected of a sorceress. However, she is actually rather dainty and even snide at times. She carries herself with a stately demeanor and speaks in an elegant, loquacious manner. Underneath the surface, she is actually very resentful of the old customs and extremely protective of her younger sister, due to the incident that involved her clan. [u][b]Magic\Abilities\Equipment[/b][/u]: Atsuha primarily relies on the ying yang sorcery that was taught to her by the clan she hails from (Hangai), a clan of powerful Onmyodo magicians. Her magical attacks consist of manipulating various elements (Mainly nature based), restricting and hampering the abilities of her foes with talismans and arcane magic seals, and limited summoning of familiars to assist her in combat. The sakura blossoms on her back csn also be fired as projectiles, cutting up whatever lies in their path. Of course, she also possesses all of the standard abilities that are granted to her due to her arachnid biology. She can create powerful webbing that’s used for various purposes, possesses enhanced strength and agility, is able to walk on various surfaces, and has powerful jumping capabilities. In addition, she now possesses fangs that can deliver a powerful bite as an up close meand of offense. The bite can also a powerful neurotoxin that can immobilize foes. (Although a lover may come to find the toxin to have a rather different effect~) [u][b]Background[/b][/u]: Atsuha, along with her younger sister Hinami, was born to the Hangai Onmyodo clan by the chieftain of the village. At a young age, she was trained and tutored in the family’s various magical applications; as the eldest sibling she was groomed to be the next head of the clan. While Atsuha went along with the flow and somewhat understood her position, she often felt that she would rather spend time with her little sister. She noticed Hinami was mostly ignored by her parents as she was the second born child. There were even times she would sneak out on training and the two would play together in the surrounding forest outside the village. However, one day Hinami appeared to have come down with a sickness of sorts. At first, it seemed to be nothing more than a common cold and the symptoms were simple enough to treat. However, her condition did not improve over time and in fact worsened. Eventually, she was too weak to leave the bedside and couldn’t even keep down any food she was given. The medical techniques implored by the clan could only do so much as to delay the process. After a few months, Atsuha’s sister passed away quietly in her sleep while she sat at her side. Grief-stricken, Atsuha spent her days wallowing in her own world detached from the one around her. Her elders, however, grew annoyed that she further neglected her training. They told her that death is part of the ever present flux of natural law and that feeling just fleeting emotion over it was pointless. Disgusted by the callous, borderline nihilistic viewpoint of her parents and teachers over the loss of a family member, Atsuha drove herself away from her family and into an even darker path. Having learned her family's kinjutsu in secret, Atsuha devised a ritual in order to revive the sibling that was taken from her. She felt that she of all people deserved a second chance at life as she only knew loneliness and illness in her previous one. However, due to the ritual needing a large amount of mana to perform and Atsuha's inexperience, the revival did not go exactly as planned… Reviving the death is considered sacrilege in most circles, and often comes at a steep price. Atsuha was completely overtaken by the dark energy generated by the ritual, and underwent a shocking transformation due to it. The quiet forest onmyoji in training had become the spider monster she is today. In the end, the ceremony was successful, but her sister wasn't quite the same either afterward. Having become what is known as a Jiangshi, Atsuha found she had to place a talisman on Hinami's head in order to quell her more...feral tendencies. When members of the clan discovered what Atsuha had wrought, she and Hinami were immediately ostracized, being forced to fend for themselves. Having to adjust to her new form while at the same time taking care of her sister was at first quite the bitter ordeal. However, she eventually saw that her new found power and abilities could afford her many new opportunities. In the underworld, she and her sister became paranormal investigators of some renown. Settling disputes between yokai and humans and exorcising curses gave them the means to fend for themselves quite effectively. Even Lady Kyouko had heard of their talents, and had directly reached out to them for their services. After some discussion, they accepted her offer to join her efforts in investigating the Varjo invaders.

I remember being in pain; I was coughing and couldn’t move. Then, there was darkness; I couldn’t hear or see anything. But, then, I could see my sister again! And, my pain was gone! But now, I’m kinda hungry all the time… Are we having lunch soon?”[/b][/i][/color] [u][b]Name[/b][/u]: Hangai Hinami [b][u]Race[/u][/b]: Jiangshi [u][b]Appearance[/b][/u]: Hinami was once an average looking young native girl with fair skin who shared her sister’s brown eyes. She had short brown hair and wore a small kimono with designs denoting her as a member of the Hangai clan. Upon revival, however, her appearance took on some noticeable changes. Her skin became a pale white, almost being porcelain in appearance. Her once brown eyes had become a deep, rather eerie red and her hair now runs all the way down to her thighs. Many who’ve been around her have stated they notice an ethereal glow emanating from her, and she is rarely seen without the talisman attached to her hat. [u][b]Personality[/b][/u]: Hinami was a sweet but lonely girl in her youth, often passing the time playing with toys and sticks in solitude. There weren’t many other children in the village in addition to Atsuha who was always preoccupied with her Onmyoji training, and Hinami was scolded harshly when she “bothered” her sister. This caused her to become a timid, sober child that barely spoke much at all. Upon being revived, Hinami still maintains much of her gentle, soft spoken nature. Being with her sister over the years has also had a positive effect on her psyche and she is much more cheerful than in her youth. However, due to her monstrous nature, she sometimes will exude a predatory hunger that causes her to lash out uncontrollably until it is sated. [u][b]Magic/Abilities/Equipment[/b][/u]: Hinami was never trained in the magical arts her clan of origin is famous for, as she was the second born child. However, becoming an undead thanks to her sister has granted new found strength that far surpasses what she knew in life. Being a Jiangshi, she is granted attributes that one would expect from her race. She possesses physical strength far beyond that of an average human, being able to shatter boulders and large trees with a single kick. Her agility and stamina is also improved greatly; as an undead she does not fatigue in the same way living creatures do. Her feral nature has also caused her to develop heightened senses, having a strong sense of smell and chi-reading. For self-defense purposes and to aid with their new profession, Atsuha also had Hinami learn various martial teachings. Hinami is well-versed in Bajiquan and Shotokan Karate, and is skilled in using various magic weapons - swords, spears, axes, maces, chains, throwing daggers, etc. She is able to summon them to her side at will thanks to magic sigils put on her skin by her sister. It is important to note that when Hinami goes into her feral state, all of her physical abilities are boosted to even greater heights. However, she completely loses her sense of self and goes berserk on everything around her. This is dangerous not only to those around her, but to herself as well, if she remains in this form for too long she will burn through her mana and enter into a catatonic state. It is for this purpose that Atsuha placed a talisman on her head that she instructed her not to remove at all times. [b][u]Background[/u][/b]: Both Hinami and Atsuha were born in a village belonging to the Hangai clan of onmyoji, living in quiet seclusion deep within a vast forest. Being the younger sibling, she was not groomed to be the clan’s next successor and thus was largely ignored. Due to any attempt of her being with her sister being met with cold reprimand from the elders, Hinami turned to reading and playing by herself in order to pass the time. However, Atsuha had often played hooky and played with Hinami in secret, which brought her much joy. However, one unfortunate day Hinami contracted a strange illness that worsened over time. Because the symptoms of said sickness weren’t different from that of a common cold, they weren’t treated as thoroughly as they should’ve been. Perhaps if it were, she may have been saved. Week after week, the sickness plaguing her became worse and worse. Soon she lacked the strength to leave her bed and couldn’t even keep down food. Atsuha, riddled with grief, refused to leave her bedside. Hinami’s last words to her sister were that she hoped she would get better soon so they could continue playing together. She passed away in her sleep the following morning. During this time, she only knew darkness and a tight pain in her chest. Before she knew it, she had reawaken and the pain she felt had all but vanished. She was greeted by a crying young woman who appeared to be in a state of happiness. She recognized the woman as her beloved sister, though she was surprised that the lower part of her body had transformed into a giant spider. Hinami, of course, wasn’t the same either and was just happy that she could be with her sister again. She was confused as Atsuha explained that they couldn’t go back home and had to learn to fend for themselves. But, she ultimately understood, it wasn’t as if she had many fond memories of her village regardless. It took some time getting used to, but eventually the sisters had settled in well to their new forms and lifestyle. Hinami had a happen of going berserk and devouring any source of mana she could get her hands on. Thankfully Atsuha with her magical expertise is able to easily keep her in check for the most past. That, and Hinami is able to eat food that any human does on a regular basis. To keep themselves afloat, they decided to take the roles of paranormal investigators. They perform various tasks under the job title: providing consulting services for those affluent with the mystic, exorcising curses, and settling disputes between yokai and human settlements. Lady Kyouka caught wind of the sisters’ services and offered them a new role in aiding her. Interested by the prospect, they happily accepted the terms.
