[hider=CS] [h3][u]Hunter[/u][/h3] [b]Name:[/b] Ren Kageyama [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [Hider=Regular Appearance] [Img]https://i.imgur.com/pni0vZO_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium[/img] [/hider] [Hider=Transformed Appearance] [Img]https://i.imgur.com/munGEcu_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium[/img] [/hider] [b]Abilities:[/b] [I]Keytana:[/i] One of Kagihime's keys grows to a size that can be wielded as a sword, resembling, but legally distinct from certain other key based melee weapons in fiction. [I]Key Swarm:[/i] The keys fly around independently, striking at spirits, or else activating one of their other powers. At present, Ren can only use one of these two forms at a time, and he can only control two keys in the swarm. [I]Lock:[/i] A more abstract power. Kagihime can "lock" something, either closing it, barring entrance, or freezing it in place. For instance, this could be used to paralyze a Onryo, or close a doorway to prevent one from leaving or entering an area. Note, one or more of the keys must stay in place for the duration of a Lock. A more powerful force will require multiple keys to be expended. [I]Unlock:[/i] Unsurprisingly, the opposite of Lock. This can open things that are closed, or release a being(spirit or human) from an outside force that is holding it. Like the Lock power, it is only temporary, and requires a key to remain in place for the duration. So if it were used to free someone from an Onryo's curse, it would only be temporary, until the Onryo were exorcized. [b]Personality:[/b] A rather dour youth, with little interest or need for normal societal conventions. He doesn’t care for manners or even the law, and can sometimes seem a little out of control, or even thuggish. Despite this, he actually has a surprisingly kind and generous nature. He knows what it’s like to be stuck on the outside, and though he’s become comfortable there, he’s always one to extend a hand to others who find themselves in the same place. [b]History:[/b] Ren grew up wealthy and privileged, but not very happy. His mother died shortly after he was born, and both his father and two older siblings seemed like they would prefer she were around, and not Ren. For his part, Ren wasn’t the easiest to deal with, first as a rambunctious child, and later as a rebellious teenager, but in his defense, most of his family seemed sour and dejected most of the time, and didn’t pay much attention to him. Ren felt that the estate house his family lived at had a bad vibe, and didn’t like to be around it very much, so he spent as much time as he could carousing, or staying over at friends. Despite all of this, Ren loved his family, and he was devastated when, during his last year of high school, he received a call to inform him that all three remaining family members had died. His father had shot his two eldest sons, and then himself. In a weird way, it even hurt that they hadn’t included him in this. Ren inherited his family’s home, his father’s car, and enough money to get by for the time being. But being in that home was oppressive, worse than ever. He finally discovered why, when an antique set of keys(the original ones to this home, kept for sentimental reasons, though they no longer go to any locks) came to life and offered to take him to the source of his grief. Naturally, Ren thought he had finally cracked, but decided he may as well go for it and took the keys up on their offer. They(or, rather, she) drew him into a realm that seemed to overlap with the real world. There, he met his mother for the first time in his own memory. She was an Onryo(though he learned this word later), and she had been tormenting his home for almost as long as he had lived. With the help of Kagihime, he banished her. It was easy for him, as he felt more anger about her than sadness by this point. [b]Likes:[/b] Loud Music Freedom to do as he pleases Sweet coffee drinks Embarrassingly, sports anime. He’s been watching Salaryman’s Club recently. [b]Dislikes:[/b] Being told what to do(so far no one who’s done it actually seemed to care about him) Spicy food(it makes him feel like a wimp) Sappy romance stuff(it’s never worked out that way for him) [b]Fears:[/b] Losing people Guns Speaking on the phone. [b]Other:[/b] He plays guitar, but not very well. [hr][h3][u]Tsukumogami[/u][/h3] [b]Name:[/b] Kagihime [b]Item:[/b] An antique ring of five keys. [b]Appearance:[/b] [Img]https://i.imgur.com/EM0hwxj_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium[/img] [b]Personality:[/b] Both a liar and a seeker of knowledge. She is a snoop and a gossip, likes to hide things, and rarely gives straight answers. Kagihime has gotten Ren in trouble on numerous occasions in their short acquaintance. [/hider]
