[Hider=Musical Soul Reaper Exilon][b]Name[/b]: Nina Tohsaka
[b]Stage Name[/b]: Exilon
[b]Age[/b]: 34
[b]Gender[/b]: Female

[b]Appearance[/b]:[hider=Bulleted][list]
[*]Cyan blue hair, shaggy and relatively short, reaching the jawline
[*]Bangs tipped lime green, spiked toward her right ear
[*]Pale skin of a life lived mostly at nighttime
[*]Right eye yellow, left eye blue, both wide and full of energy
[*]Eyebrows a fiery red but not frequently furrowed, not [i]too[/i] thin
[*]Legs of shihakusho cut short, leaving everything below mid-thigh exposed
[*]Done to show off set of rainbow-colored stockings, which start red at the mouth and progress through the rest of OY G BIV in thick bars until the ankle, where they become thinner and repeat toward the toe
[*]5'4"/162cm, Fit and lithe build, though not curve-less; length of shihakusho shows off pretty meaty thighs
[/list][/hider]Standing at 5'4"/162cm, with the pale skin of someone steeped in nightlife, Nina is the type to put every effort into standing out from her average-heighted peers. Her short, shaggy cyan hair, which reaches to around her jawline, with its bangs tipped lime green and spiked toward her right ear, give her a neon-fueled manic pixie dream girl vibe. A vibe which is only heightened by her scarlet eyebrows and two-tone eyes, the right being yellow and the left blue. Of course, none of these colors are natural. 

Nina's penchant for standing out extends to her shihakusho, which she purposely cuts short at the leg to show off everything below the mid-thigh. Which both means her well-built and powerful dancer's legs and the rainbow-color stockings that she clothes them in. These stockings have all the colors of the rainbow arranged in thick horizontal bars, starting with red at the mouth of the sock and progressing through the rest of OY G BIV down the length of her legs, repeating the pattern where shin meets ankle in thinner bars down toward her toes.

[b]Personality[/b]:[hider=Bulleted][list]
[*]Brash and outspoken, despite being completely mute
[*]Curious and eager, sometimes overcoming instinct for self-preservation
[*]Highly social, treating no subjects as off limits, with the exception of her own past
[*]Obsessor, focusing on one thing for a period of time, then never touching it again once interest is lost (music is an exception)
[*]Can't let it go when challenged, but doesn't hold onto grudges after apologies are made[/list][/hider]Despite being completely mute, owing to a birth defect, Nina cannot be described as "quiet". With oodles of energy that she seldom bothers attempting to contain, Nina uses all avenues available to express herself at every opportunity, including when people would prefer she not. Boisterous and opinionated, seeing her engaged in arguments is just as common as seeing her cheer others on. If anything, the rarest sight is seeing her not in the company of another person.

This energy extends to subjects that catch her interest, be they field of study, a unique character fictional or non, a culinary experience, or anything else that strikes her as something worth learning more about. That said, with music being an exception, these interests have a tendency to be fleeting, lasting a few weeks at most. Equal are the number of people who are relieved by her sudden absence and the number of people confused by their new friend seemingly moving on from them. Her longest lasting relationships tend to be those who are either capable of offering continued surprises, and those who become obsessive of her in turn. The biggest barrier, however, is whether the person in question can stomach her general disregard for boundaries both physical and social. She is already becoming well known in the Seireitei for the kinds of invasive questioning and oversharing she will engage in if given a text-based communication tool.

Given her excess of energy, it isn't a wonder that she'll eagerly attempt to overcome any challenge placed in front of her, regardless of the desires of that challenge. There are more than a few shinagami who have found themselves unwitting participants in a rivalry with Nina, though it's mostly the ones that reciprocate that find themselves unable to rid themselves of her.

[b]Backstory[/b]:[hider=Bulleted][list]
[*]Born with a medical defect affecting her larynx to a Canadian mother and Japanese father
[*]Grew up frequently being flown between Canada and Japan due to parents' jobs often keeping them in separate countries
[*]Frequent travel made holding onto relationships difficult, giving her lots of practice at forming new ones
[*]Learned to express herself with music at an early age, developing into a lifetime passion that also led to her career on stage
[*]Her social skills, passion for music, and general high energy and zest led to her being a fairly popular instrumentalist musician
[*]Her curiosity and general lack of screening of people led to her falling into substance abuse in her early twenties[/list][/hider]Half-Japanese on her father's side, half-Canadian on her mother's side, Nina grew up as a frequent flier between the two countries due to the requirements of both her parents' white-collar jobs infrequently allowing them to be in the same place. Born with a medical defect affecting her larynx, Nina has never been able to speak with words, and with constant travel, often found herself alone, with the handful of relationships she did form being difficult to maintain even in the age of social media. However, when she discovered the power music had to not only draw people to her, but allow her to express herself to them in a way text-based mediums could not, she obtained a lifelong passion that blossomed into a successful career as an instrumentalist on stages in both Canada and Japan.

It was the combination of past loneliness and overeager curiosity that led to her failing to develop the ability to judge character well, itself resulting in her falling into the kind of crowd that would encourage the use of recreational drugs without properly educating her on safe usage. With fame finding her at the relatively early age of 20, so do did the sort of people eager to take advantage of famous youth. Travelling down this path led to as many ups as it did downs, as those in the biz were happy to help her raise her star power, being that she seemed qualmless about letting them get everything they wanted out of doing so.

Ultimately, it would have been a short, sweet life.

[b]Why did you become a Substitute Shinigami[/b]:[hider=Bulleted][list]
[*]She was on tour in Japan, with one night's concert located in Sagamiyama
[*]After the concert, she experienced a drug overdose that nearly led to the loss of her life
[*]Shouko Hayasegawa was luckily in attendance at the concert, thus allowing her to reach Nina before she became a Jibakurei
[*]Nina accepted the offer to become a substitute soul reaper both out of sheer curiosity about the other side of death, as well as so she could continue brightening peoples' lives with her music - and now, she can brighten peoples' deaths, too[/list][/hider]It was while on tour in Japan, which took her to the town of Sagamiyama, that Nina got her first taste of death. It was after the encore performance at that night's show, exhausted from giving more than her all, as usual, that she took once again to illicit substances to give her the energy to get through the rest of the night without sleep. She had an after-party to enjoy, after all, with all the elbow-rubbing and shared congratulating it entailed.

As it turned out, her body could not push any further past its limits. And in her attempts to force it to do so, Nina exposed herself to a far higher dosage than what the human body was capable of processing. It ceased to function properly, alone in her dressing room. As her soul separated from flesh, chains bound her to the venue - the concert hall she had given was would have been her final performance a. Her spirit clung to the desire to entertain, to help others enjoy their lives as much as she was striving to enjoy her own.

Which in a way, turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as a Shinigami happened to be in the audience that night, and sensed the creation of a Jibakurei occurring in the vicinity. It was both out of respect for the tenacity that was necessary for a Jibakurei to bind itself to the world of the living, and out of the self-interest of wanting to continue enjoying Exilon's musical performances, that Substitute Shinigami recruiter Shouko Hayasegawa offered Nina the position. It was both out of curiosity about life after death, and out of the self-interest of wanting to continue putting on musical performances, that Substitute Shinigami Nina Tosaka was given her power.

[b]Techniques[/b]: [list]
[*]Hoho[list]
[*]Youho - "Jump Step", as the name implies, it's a kind of flash step where the user jumps up into the air. Also quite practical, and can be used to escape harm quickly. It emphasises' Hoho's need for leg strength as without enough, one might not be able to bound over their opponent, let alone Hollow who are typically larger.
[*]Niseyouho - "False Jump Step", as the name implies, is a kind of flash step where the user attempts to trick a target into thinking they have jumped up into the air. Effectiveness increases with closeness of range, as an increase in the need to tilt one's head back to follow the user's assumed upward trajectory decreases the likeliness of noticing the user crouched down beneath one's line of sight.[/list][/list]

[b]Memorized Kido[/b]:[list]
[*]Hado[list]
[*]Sho - "Thrust", produces a small amount of energy enough force to thrust a considerable amount of kinetic force at a target, which is pushed back a few feet from the practitioner.[/list]
[*]Bakudo[list]
[*]Seki - "Repulse", generates an orb/disk of light blue energy which repels whatever strikes it.
[*]Otokabe - "Sound Wall", manipulates airborne Reishi via the user's Reiryoku carried on sound waves, forming a multilayered wall of kinetic force that is carried forward by the wake of the waveform. The speed and distance the wall travels is dictated by the volume of the sound the user created, and is generally a thousandth of the speed and distance the actual sound wave travels.
