Name: Momo Kurii
Age: 24
Nationality: Japanese
Appearance: In addition to the above, Momo wears a red kimono and black zori sandals accompanied with tabi.
Height: 170 cm/5'6"
Weight: 132lbs.
Weapon(s): Momo carries with her, two Tessen (Japanese war fans) named Business and Pleasure, normally she only uses one so that she doesn't stand out, but in the case her first one were to be disarmed from her hands, she will produce her other fan. To the untrained eye, these fans look like any run-of-the-mill folding fans, but to those who are able to see through their innocent visage, one will notice that the fans's outer spokes are made of iron, some of which are even bladed so that she can even the odds, or in the case her target becomes too dangerous.
Fighting Style: Being an Oiran, Momo usually relies on her body and charm to lure unwitting prey into her arms, and once they've got their guard down, she goes in for the kill. If her target manages to survive and fight back, Momo will not hesitate to use the arts of Tessenjutsu to stop her foe, relying on precise counters and parries and delivering deft counterattacks either with the bladed tips of her fan or by using it as a club. She likes to implement an additional element to her fighting by using many graceful movements, some of which look like dancing, and times where she feints the opponent into thinking she's going to do a certain attack only to bait them out the last second to deal a deadly blow.
Perhaps the biggest flaw in Momo's fighting style is the fact it is very precise and requires many just movements. One small miscalculation could lead to her downfall, and she hugely relies on her ability to dodge and fake out opponents due to her low defenses, and as such, relentless attacks and continued assaults also pose a problem for her.

Searching For: Neither, she is participating in the tournament solely for the money.
Personality: As expected from her line of work, Momo has an air of elegance to her character. She is dignified, serene, submissive, and eager to please her clients. Her polite nature and silent beauty strike charm in many a man's heart however, this is all a facade she merely uses for her other line of work. By day, she is an Oiran, an entertainer in many fields ranging from music to carnal pleasures, but when the doors close and the windows are shut, she reveals her true nature as a greedy, and ambitious woman. In actuality Momo is part of an unnamed clan who uses her work as an Oiran as a cover up so that they may take the gold of those foolish enough to believe her lies, or those who dare oppose her and her clan.
Solely interested in monetary gain, Momo's main goal in life is to acquire as many money as she can, her motivation is unclear, even to those within her clan. Despite being a lure and more than adept to take the life of many, she despises taking the life of another, especially her clients, and she has an instilling fear that she may get too attached to some of them and hinder her actual work.

Background: 1566, Kyoto. Raised under the roof of a middle-class family, Momo Kurii was taught by her mother how to become the ideal and desirable picture of a Japanese woman, the process was long and tough, she endured whatever punishment beheld her with the mistakes she made along the way. At age eighteen, she was already shaping up into what her mother had expected her to, but tragedy struck them when their funds were hitting an all time-low, and her parents struggled to provide for both their child and to pay taxes. Taking initiative and using the many skills her mother taught her, Momo hesitantly sought out to sell her body as a courtesan, at first she disliked the idea and thought of herself as impure and no better than filth for stooping so low just to help out her family, but she firmly believed what she was doing was for the greater good of her parents, even if it meant dishonor and shame.
Eventually, one client of hers happened to scouting for recruits and was impressed not only by her beauty, but her various skills in the arts. Hopeful, Momo joined the clan and was trained in the arts of Tessenjutsu in order to defend both the clan and herself from those who would attack it, they found a use for her as a 'honey trap' of sorts, luring foolish men into compromising positions and usually asking for money in return, and if they don't pay up, expect to never hear from him ever again. Recently, she had caught wind that a tournament would be held with a large sum of gold being the prize. A smile on her face, the woman set out for her destination.

Name: Eron Biscus
Age: 27
Nationality: Gibraltarian
Height: 6'2
Weight: 174lbs
Weapon(s): Dual tonfas
Fighting Style: Eron fights rather defensively with his tonfas. Even though he could easily extend his reach by using the other ends, he prefers to keep the long end next to him and get in close to his enemies. Most of his maneuvers involve rapid jabs and punches in close to his enemies. If longer range is necessary he can give more powerful attacks with the longer thrusts and swings. His strongest strike is a swing while he rotates the tonfa around for a devastating strike. He isn't keen on violence, and always starts off defensively, but as more force is necessary he evolves to what is needed.
Searching For: Soul Calibur. Eron doesn't believe grand wishes are necessary for good things to be done and the potential for evil with it is too great. He believes true power to changes things should involve hard work from the people.
Personality: Eron is rather peaceful and believes in the power of people. He believes that people have more power than they believe and practices it in his own life. He seeks to push himself to the limits and finds that the limits seem to continually grow. He believes in great control over his body and mind and has trained himself to follow that mantra. He is not very argumentative and more likely to shrug off a disagreement as the other being stupid. He has yet to find a cure for stupidity though and if he were ever to use the Soul Edge it would be for that. He is not a fool and realizes there are things he does not know and evaluates the information shared with him.
Background: Gibraltar was known for being a watchpoint between the Mediteranean and the Atlantic. One of the watchmen had spent a lot of time in this place with not much action and was very reflective of life. Eron became fascinated with this man and began to spend time with him and learn from him. He put his teachings into practice and created his own weapons with which to train. He is devoted to fulfilling the man's teachings and ridding the world of the Soul Edge, so that humanity will work on using it's own power to fix their problems. He does have a reason to use the Soul Edge as well and that would be to spread the wisdom the old man shared with him. He feels that could fix the world as well even though the old man disagrees.

Name: Armand Robertos
Pseudonym: Roberts, The Spaniard
Age: 30
Nationality: Spanish
Appearance:
Height: 170cm
Weight: 85kg
Weapon(s): Pistol Sword and a Pistol
Fighting Style: In spite of his "profession", Roberts usually attempts to conduct himself with some manner of honor and dignity. Ergo, he will fight more or less honorably against most opponents, using fencing and swordsmanship training that one normally does not expect from a "lowly pirate". However, against opponents he has particular hatred for, or if the stakes for the fight are simply higher than usual, then Roberts relies less on honorable skill and more on dirty fighting or outright cheating to ensure his own survival and victory, or the death of whomever he is fighting. In general, Roberts' fighting is quick-footed and somewhat acrobatic, a near-requirement for one who spends a great deal of time living and fighting at sea. However, his unexpected level of formal training allows him to be far more precise and accurate with his attacks than the average sailor or pirate.
Searching For: Roberts is searching for Soul Edge, but that is merely a means to an end for him. He's only heard vague rumors of the sword's power, but seeks it anyway. His only true goal is reclaiming his ship, and if seeking out a supposedly demonic blade will lure out his real prey from hiding then so be it.
Personality: Roberts, despite being a pirate, conducts himself with a level of honor and integrity that one simply does not see in men of his profession. For one thing, even when raiding ships, he will not attack women or children, nor will he harm the sickly or elderly. Any man who sails with him is expected to follow the same conduct, or he will have them executed on the spot. His Spanish blood also tends to give Roberts an air of charisma, his speaking in Spanish or with an accent when using English has been found to be rather dashing by the majority of women who encounter him.
Background: Born Armand Robertos, he was the son of a minor noble in Madrid. In his youth, he was taught swordsmanship by a formal instructor, as well as educated in reading and writing in both Spanish and English, common for those of noble blood. He was obviously being groomed to inherit his family's estate and his father's job as a tax collector. People, however, have a tendency to revile tax collectors, assuming them all to be corrupt and greedy. It was no secret that Armand's father amassed a personal fortune from his work, and this earned him no small amounts of enemies both in the peasantry and in rival noble families who saw him as a threat.
When Armand was barely old enough to be called a man, his parents' bodies were discovered dead in their bed one morning. Both had been brutally murdered, and with his father's small laundry list of enemies, potential suspects were near limitless. Unfortunately for Armand, who was still somewhat of a naive young man, forged documents and correspondences were found in a lock-box hidden in his room. The young Armand of course had no idea what they were, but soon found himself on the run for his father's murder. Armand wouldn't have gotten far if not for a stroke of luck. He managed to convince a ship captain to take him in as a crew member aboard his vessel which just so happened to be getting resupplied at one of the eastern Spanish ports. What Armand didn't know was that the man he had just employed himself to was Cervantes de Leon, an infamous pirate captain.
Armand only sailed for de Leon for a couple of short years before he jumped ship, finding himself repulsed by the man's cruelty. This may have in fact saved his life once again, as Armand later learned of Cervantes slaughtering his own crew in madness. Eventually Armand managed to captain a ship of his own, The Neptune. By now Armand had all but abandoned his own name, instead introducing himself simply as Roberts. Those who knew him addressed him as such whilest strangers only knew him as The Spaniard. Even as a pirate captain, Roberts still retained some of that old honor from his previous life, and did everything he could to apply that to his conduct as a captain and even as a pirate. Any who sailed aboard his ship were ordered to do the same, or be executed by Roberts himself. If there could be Honor Among Thieves, then surely the same could be said of pirates.
Unfortunately, not every pirate who sailed with him agreed with Roberts' policy. One in-particular was his own Quartermaster, a Frenchman called Henri Christophe. Christophe believed that sentiments such as honor had no place in a raid. He swayed much of the crew to his side and led a mutiny against Roberts. Roberts and the few who remained on his side were thrown overboard, and left to drown. And indeed, drown most of them did. Only Roberts himself survived, and even that was yet another stroke of luck, as he was spotted and rescued by a merchant vessel. After his rescue, Roberts had nothing, as if he'd been sent tumbling all the way back to the state he was in when he first went on the run. But he didn't give up, instead he swore vengeance upon Christophe and vowed to take back the ship that was rightfully his. Recently he learned that Christophe was in search a peculiar sword called Soul Edge, and so Roberts began to search for it as well, knowing it would lead him to Christophe and The Neptune.
