5'9|187lbs|brown hair|hazel eyes|athletic build|tan complexion

Name: Kojima, Ryu
Date of Birth: 3/21/1994
Gender: Male

Personality: Describe your personality
Often when people meet Ryu, they would instantly be presented to a guy that would speak, but does so in brevity. He’s not one for being a talker, but if pressed enough, he will let you know what’s on his mind and what he thinks about you. Being an older brother to three younger ones, Ryu has always felt that he needs to defend the weak. Or rather, if he sees anyone picking on those who are weaker than they are, he will do all that is in his power to help them out. Some would call this a hero complex, but he just views it as being a man and living up to what a man has to do out of honor and pride.

Because of the way he chooses to present himself and his clothing choices, Ryu is always attracting the attention of the ladies, but this is not on purpose. Granted, he doesn’t mind the attention, but he’s not going to be one to totally gloat about it. If he gets the attention of the females, then he’ll let it happen, but if not then he doesn’t really care. If Ryu finds himself someone that he finds just as interesting as they find him, he will make an extra effort to talk to said woman and build a foundation for any possible relationship that could come out of that.

So in closing, Ryu has a strong honor code that revolves around his masculinity and his need to defend others. He is flattered by the attention he gets from females, but won’t pursue them unless he finds them as interesting as they do him.

History:
Ryu’s life isn’t really much to gloat about. He grew up in Kyoto Japan and was raised by a single mother. His father died when he was young and he has three younger brothers that he’s over-protective of and will do anything to keep them from harm. He does harbor secrets, but that comes from being the guy that everyone expects to act a certain way.

Throughout his life, his teachers have told him he has a unique gift for being able to spot things that the other kids didn’t, but due to his rather…interesting way of acting, he never lived up to his full potential that everyone raved on about him having. That, of ocurse, was until he got that letter from Zandore III, whihc made him think that he could probably get use out of it. Or at the very least, it could help him out in ways the normal schools could.

Unique Factor:
Intuitive Aptitude
On the base of it, Intuitive Aptitude is the special skill of being able to understand simple and complex systems almost immediately. For Ryu, this applies to the norms of studies and other such things. Essentially, Ryu is able to learn various things in remarkable timing. This can range from how things work to the amount of information he can store in his head. This can even go as far as to understand complex sequences in formulas used for science and math.

As it is with any “special” skill, there are various downsides to Ryu’s special skill. For one, his Intuitive Aptitude works more so on a gut feeling rather than him knowing the entire picture of something he will aim to know more of. He also, cause this has happened to him in the past, forget some information he printed into his brain. Ryu could also become obsessed in some ways to know almost everything, which brings up the worst side-effect, which is that he can have an information overload and would essentially be stripped down to his basic knowledge that he had at a safe level of his skill’s abilities.

No, I mean CHARACTER SHEET

that's so meta || character storage thread

Name: Flora Kairu-Celebrindal
Age: 35
Gender: Female

Personality:
Flora is a simple woman. She is a rather rude and blunt woman with inappropriate ways of doing things. She will do what’s more offensive to someone and she will do it without any disregard to their feelings. If it involves insulting them, then she will do it. Flora takes pride in making someone feel bad about themselves. Though, most of the time she means good, she usually does wrong, but in the end it makes her feel good, so that’s all that matters, right?

Flora’s mannerisms are nothing on the polite side. As noted above, she’s rude, she’s blunt, and she’s very flirtatious. Of course, none of this is as bad as what she does to get attention. She will flat out show her tits to get her way. Usually it doesn’t end as bad as it sounds, but most of the time, it is. Flora’s also a bit impatient and if something doesn’t go her way, she will make it clear that she does not like that. Her mouth is on par to that of a sailor. So, you know there has to be some nasty language there. Just how bad is up to the imagination. In short, Flora’s a bitch, and that’s why her and Cerden got divorced(among other reasons).

Flora’s attitude within battles and first (and many) confrontations, Flora is, again, blunt as all hell. She, like noted above, does not like to hold anything back. Flora will say what’s on her mind, even if it’s insulting. She really couldn’t care what happens. Though, the latter is only for confrontations. Battle-wise, Flora reserves herself, but not by much. She does tend to talk a lot of smack. That is, yet again, bringing in her bluntness. It’s pretty safe to assume that Flora’s most dominant trait, personality-wise, is her bluntness. This could also imply that she has anger problems and a negative impulse-control. She is mainly a ranged fighter, as seen with her primary weapon, her gun.

Flora might not seem like it, but she does have one hobby that brings a balance to her entire personality. Despite what most would see, only Cerden knows that Flora has a soft spot for her plants. As a Florist by trade, Flora takes great care for her plants. Her love for plantlife is nowhere near her love for her ex-husband, but it’s pretty damn close. When she’s caring for her plants, Flora is in control of her anger. This is because one cannot be rough, impatient or whatever when caring for another life form. They have to be in control at all times. This has helped Flora to just get in grip with her anger, but when around other people, she just can’t control herself, despite countless drillings from the people she either has answered to or that she is very close to that do not like her attitude at most times.

Not all too surprising, Flora has an amazing intellect within her mind. Not only can this range from knowledge about poisons and how to break them down and come up with cures for them, Flora intelligence also extends to strategies and being able to break down complex blueprints and build and/or decipher what was hidden within them. She is also able to create strategies for various scenarios. Of course, most of them don't come out as perfect as she makes them out to be, but in the end of the day they do work out. She's also really knowledgeable about plants(no duh). Her ability to be able to tell what kind of a plant a certain one is and be able to tell whether it's poisonous, dangerous or whatever is just remarkable. Even though she is super smart, it will often get her into arguements with people just cause she has the often annoying tendency to be stubborn. in extreme cases of this, Flora will actually resort to physical harm to prove her point, which is almost every time someone questions a certain aspect of her plans.

Appearance:
Flora is a pretty hot gal. Her body is definitely fit. It’s kind of like a survival of the fittest just minus the “survival of the” part. Okay, seriously Flora is definitely fit and ready for pain. Her height is nothing higher than sixty five inches. By the looks of it, Flora puts on a decent weight for her height, wouldn’t ya agree? Yeah, I also agree. She weighs one hundred, and twenty-six pounds. Also by the looks of her body, Flora has a nice tan going for her if you count out that she is naturally that color. Yup, that’s what it is.

Her eyes look to be a magenta, but what shade it might be is unknown to even her. Her hair is kind of funky. It has a solid Dark Orchid color, but at the medium-end parts, there is a combination of pale brown, black, and white. She keeps her hair in a high ponytail. In the ninja world, Flora’s attire seems fitting especially with the group she rolls with. Flora bares a three piece outfit. She wears a purple shirt that stops about three or five inches below her titties(which are lovely, btw~). Atop that comes a silver jacket of same length, and pants that have jean fabric, but look more like slacks, if anything else. She wears gauntlets that cover most of her lower-arm, and her boots are at mid-thigh. Finally, Flora wears violet goggles, though she usually keeps them on her head as an accessory.

Faction: Neutral, but was formally of the Empire.

Weapon: If your character uses a weapon describe it here.

Powers/Abilities:

Magical Capabilities:
While not as well-versed in the arts of magic as most would be, Flora has demonstrated that her magical prowess is definitely up there on at least the advanced levels. She is able to weave spells that have multiple effects. For example, her magical capabilities have been able to rid illusions and/or show the true form of something just by waving her hands around a specific area and allowing her power to work its magic. Now, she is also able to weave spells of the high tiers and layer them so that they hold multiple elements as well as multiple effects. However, the more that she does that, the more that she risks her magic power lowering due to exhaustion and over-casting of spells.

Plant Manipulation:
In Flora's youth and before she even knew that the empire even existed, she found herself being able to manipulate plant-life. Of course, this surprised the hell out of her. Here she was just a ten-year-old girl, still innocent as one could be, and she was able to accelerate the growth rate of plants. At first, it started out as something so little as being able to make a small plant grow to it's first, small form. She didn't know what to make of it and when she showed her parents, they didn't know what to make of it either. They were just as surprised as she was. Her parents, however, saw an opportunity for Flora. They sent her to a special facility off-planet that housed "special" kids who demonstrated such extraordinary talents. Of course, this was just a place where kids would get experimented on, but perhaps it was a good thing that Flora went there because, the more time she was experimented on the more her powers evolved.

Flora spent five years in that facility, and in just those five years, her powers grew to unforeseen heights. Not only was Flora able to create plants out of nowhere and manipulate preexisting ones, but she was able to draw from the chemicals within the plants and incorporate them into her own bloodstream, which not only gave her an exceptional physical prowess. The healing properties of said chemicals also gave a sort of regenerative healing factor that allowed her body to create new cells and skin tissue as well as harden her skin. Her powers further expanded when there was a certain accident with a certain two people who she has come to love which bonded her body with a rather overload of chemicals within several plants, which caused the weird coloring of her hair and how her body is the epitome of Floral Energy, which essentially made her own body as the soil to which plant-life could grow around or on. Due to this, it shouldn't be surprising that Flora has garnered herself an immunity to most poisons and other toxins.

Flora can also manipulate the earth as it is the core in which her plants take root from. It does take quite a bit, but once she is able to raise the earth up be it simple pebbles or cause the ground to shake, she is able to form the earth into shapes that it would otherwise wouldn't be in.Another side ability of this all is that of Photosynthesis, which for those who don't know what that is, it's the process in which plants absorb sunlight. For Flora, she uses the sunlight and converts into both her own energy to which she uses for her enhanced condition, but she also converts it to her abilities of manipulating plants, to which are enhanced greatly.

Flora's power is not without drawbacks, the main of which comes from the sun itself. Or rather, the radiation that comes from it. If Flora were to take in too much of the radiation, it could cause some serious defects in her power over plants and in extreme cases, it could even dumb it down to the most basic of levels. Fire and Ice also pose a threat to Flora since both elements are severely harmful to plants and since a good portion of her DNA is infused with chemicals from plants, she may be suspect to further damage than most. Lightning strikes could also pose a real danger to her as well.

Solace In Night: A Kingdom Hearts RP

A Few hours earlier

Crossing the buildings of the afternoon-lit Hollow Bastion, Cerden made little use of the rooftops as the distance he gained from one out of every five buildings he jumped from really made the trip a whole lot easier than if he were to just jump rooftop-to-rooftop. It was by this quickness that Cerden was easily able to the factory as he looked at it from the rooftop of a building approximately five miles away. As he did, Cerden had mixed feelings about seeing it. On one side, he was so close and he probably could take it, but there was no doubt that the factory had soldiers guarding it at all corners. There was just no way that he could do it alone. Taking one more moment to just look at it, Cerden knew he needed some assistance. As he made that decision, Cerden turned his back on the building. In the same moment that he did, he leaped away from the factory and continued to do so until the factory itself became a spec in his rear view.

By the time that Cerden had gotten away from the view of the factory, he found himself in what some would call the slums of Hollow Bastion. The district he was in looked rather run down and worse for ware. The buildings had wood nailed on them, paint wasn’t even present on some buildings, and the metal in the area was so rusted up that they were beyond repair. Cerden just walked through it, looking on both sides and the people sitting on the ground and on barrels just eyed him as if they wanted to start a fight with him. However, Cerden didn’t stare at a single individual long enough for a fight to be followed him. He just kept on walking. He turned a few corners and came to a house singled out from the rest. It was pretty run down as well. It wasn’t that big. It was probably trailer size, but perhaps a little smaller. The colors of the house seemed to be variant of a singular shade. Parts had brick red and other parts had shit brown. There were black and white bits.

While Cerden’s view was mainly on the house(if one could call it that), he did bring his crimson eyes to the cellar to the right of the trailer house. It was one that had a wood door concealing it and two metal handles. Cerden smiled as he saw it. He would then walk over to it, and bang the wood part with his right hand that was balled into a fist. He would bang it three times and made sure there was a loud bang. Cerden would just wait for a minute or so for there to be an answer, but there was no such thing. Cerden sighed and would bang the door of the cellar once more, this time a little harder, causing the thing to almost break. He would, once more, step back and wait for an answer, though this time his arms were crossed over his chest as he was slightly annoyed. As it was before, there was no answer. Now Cerden was growing impatient and quite frankly, a bit pissed off.

“Damn it, are you really going to make me wai--”

Before Cerden could finish, the doors plowed open with great force and out came the person who owned the trailer and all of its surroundings. The person who came out flipped with grace as this person’s long purple hair with salt and pepper tips landed in front of Cerden. The look on his face was one mixed of relief and slight disappointment. As Cerden smiled at the person in front of him, the violet-haired human grabbed their weapons and went at Cerden. This alarmed the white-haired man and he pulled out his Brother’s Requiem and defended himself as the two knives from his attacker went through the hollow holes of his short swords.

“Is that any way to greet your long lost love, Flora?” Cerden said smiling.

“Oh put a sock in it!” Flora snapped as she tried to force her knives into Cerden’s gut, but his strength was proving too much for her.

“Please, honey, don’t be like this.” Cerden said pleading with her.

“You have some nerve!” Flora roared, “Ten years and you don’t even drop a call or anything!?” Flora’s voice was getting louder and louder by the second.

“Please, you know I would have if I could have.” Cerden said trying to keep the knives from reaching his gut,

Flora’s face lit up with even more rage, but as she would try to step forward, Cerden would use her own momentum against her as her backside was to his front and his short swords to her throat. Flora gave a loud groan of defeat and Cerden let her go without hesitation. However, as she and he would put their weapons away, she whacked him in the face with a straight right punch. “That’s for calling me honey!” Flora said as she smiled down at the laid-out Cerden.

Holding his jaw, Cerden let out a slight moan of pain. “That hurt you know!” He said complaining.

“Oh suck it up, you big baby.” Flora said angrily.

Cerden sat up as he looked at Flora. The two of them exchanged looks. About a half of a minute, Cerden got up, brushing off any dirt that might have gotten on his body. As he stood on his feet, Cerden was going to speak, but before he could, Flora did it first. “Now tell me what you’re doing here? Ten years and you haven’t once came to me for a social visit.” Flora said.

Sighing, Cerden spoke. “I take it you’re aware of the Empire’s presence here?” Cerden said.

Flora nodded. “Mmm, yeah. I was in the square near their attacked storehouse and heard it from your beloved brother.” Flora chuckled slightly.

Cerden’s expression was anything but what Flora’s was. “Yeah, he’s full of shit.” Cerden said.

“Don’t have to tell me twice.” Flora said.

Cerden sighed again. The amount of seriousness in the air couldn’t even be dented by a razor-sharp sword cause there was so much of it. “I need your help.” Cerden said.

Flora looked at Cerden. Sure it’s been a decade since she’s even heard from him, and yet, as she heard him speak, there was a certain sadness to his voice. It resonated with her and she knew that he would only come to her if it were worst-case scenario. “Fine, but let’s talk about this inside.” Flora said as she guided Cerden into the cellar.

Cerden followed her lead and they went down the stairs. When they did, Flora snapped her fingers and swirls of magic consumed the air. All the swirls had fifty shades of grey, black, white, and purple, each responding to the rough textures of the walls. Even when the two of them arrived to the ground floor of the cellar, at first glance it was nothing to gloat about. However, as the magic would grace the walls, the ceiling, and the ground, something wonderful happened. Each ounce of magical energy revealed a room ten times the amount of its seven-square foot overall size. Revealed from the magic were computer screens that were directly across from the war table in the center of the room that had a projection of multiple worlds around. There were also cabinets behind a fully-transparent glass window that stood as tall as a seven-foot Large Body heartless. The floor was now of metal textiles and the walls had a succulent glass-like texture going about it.

Cerden smirked as he saw the once rundown room transformed into pretty much a war room. “I see someone’s been busy.” Cerden said, looking at the new improvements he remembers seeing in mere blueprints all those years ago.”

“Oh shut up.” Flora said, walking right on over to the War Table, waving her hand over the center which revealed Hollow Bastion in holographic form.

Cerden looked on and he just was simply amazed at how simple blueprints back in the day could become something so wonderful as the room and the War Table. Regardless of that, he had to focus. “Okay, so the factory is there.” He said pointing to it. “I need a way to get into it.” Cerden said.

Flora heard Cerden and she enlarged the Factory hologram. It would be the only thing in view and she would analyze the schematics. There were blueprints of its layout that included the floors initial designs, how many floors there were both above and below ground. It showed where the guards were going to be placed and there was even heat signatures of the soldiers at the very moment. Flora toyed and toyed with the rotations, but she saw no other entrance aside from the front one. “There seems to be no other way in other than the front entrance.”

“But that’s going to be heavily guarded.” Cerden said as he bit his thumb. “Isn’t there any other way?” Cerden asked.

“If there was, don’t you think I would have fou--” Just as she was going to finish that statement, Flora thought of something. “I wonder..” She would turn the hologram a few times, each different from the last and in seconds a new layout of it — an older version — appeared. “This seems to be an older blueprint of the version that’s here on Hollow Bastion.” Flora said. She looked and saw one area that could be another way in. “You see that there?” She asked Cerden.

“You mean that?” Cerden said as he too pointed to the same spot that Flora was, but as he did, their hands touched, which warranted a rather sexual-filled look from the both of them to each other.

Shaking her head, Flora got back to reality. “Yes, that one. It’s a side entrance that was supposed to be sealed off, but since this is an older blueprint, I doubt the soldiers will be there as much as they will be in other areas. That’s your way in.” Flora told him.

Cerden was thrilled to hear that from Flora. A rush of excitement took him over and his impulse took over as he gripped Flora by the waist and lifted her up, which garnered him a sound of surprise from her. However, as he lifted and spun around, she looked at him and him at her. For a moment, the once thought dead spark between them lit up for a few seconds and she almost was going to kiss him, but she resisted. Instead she cleared her throat and Cerden came back to planet Hollow Bastion. He set her down as turned away. She smiled as he did.

“Well, then I guess I’ll be seeing you later.” Cerden said as he prepared to leave.

“Wait!” She shouted. “You’re not going to go alone, are you?” She asked worryingly.

Cerden looked back. “That was the plan, yeah.” He said simplemindedly.

Flora stepped forward a few steps. “But you’ll die…” She said.

Cerden raised an eyebrow. “Are you actually worried about me?” He asked smirking.

She gasped and face turned red. “Ah, n-n-no. I just think it’ll be stupid of you to risk your life like that when you can have some help.”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t it obvious? I’m coming with you.”

“YOu really do care.”

“Oh shut it! I’m only coming so you don’t die.” Flora said, denying that she still cares in that way for CerdenOf course I care, dummy. It was with that Cerden and Flora spent the hours preparing and he would tell her everything and they just waited until nightfall.

---

Present Time

Time definitely flew on by in Hollow Bastion. From the almost evening sunlight and blue skies with white clouds to the near black clouds and the glistening moonlight, Hollow Bastion now looks like a radiant, midnight garden from the sky and below. The stars just add to the sceneity that is the nighttime. Even if Hollow Bastion has evil folk such as the Empire among her streets, to those who have lived in it for so long enjoy the night time and all that she brings. To Cerden and Flora, who are stealthily making their way through the streets, they cannot enjoy the nightlife as most could. At least, not until The Empire’s Factory is long gone and out of commission. However, in order for that to happen, they must give their contributions to the cause.

Through the hours that Cerden and Flora prepared, Cerden told his ex-wife about the group known as the Unbound Hearts, as she already knew. They knew exactly what they were going to do and it was only minutes until they made their way through the side entrance — which was just a little more difficult to get through as the schematics made it out to be, but it mattered not. They were able to get through it and into the factory, which as compared to the hologram, seemed so much more…empty inside. Cerden just looked around and couldn’t believe that he was actually in, knowing that somewhere was Nomis.

Flora looked over at Cerden. “So, where do you think he’s at?” She asked him.

“My honest thought?” Cerden said, “The core room.”

“Why there?”

“Nomis loves to experiment and what better way to do that than with the core of the factory. “

“Fine then, let’s get going. Father Time will not wait for us forever.”

Cerden just nodded as he and Flora would head in the direction that the core room was at and they hoped they would be able to make it before Nomis did whatever he had planned.
