Lisanthus turned at the official's question. She then chuckled a bit before responding.

"I expect that it will be all of the above, good sir. The tournament isn't just about brute force, it must also test the resourcefulness and adaptability of its competitors. I'm sure a certain man I know will see through to that!" Replied the princess in a cheerful tone in order to brighten the mood.

"Everything will be fine Mira, I'm sure you'll do well the in the tournament. Although, if you and I end up facing off against each other - I'm afraid you'll have to expect the worst!" Lisas said with a confident wink.

Lisianthus did her best to hide her insecurities, in truth she was still figuring how she was going to pull off a win this year...

Hisana's expression remained unchanged while the beast growled at her, seemingly ready to unleash all of it's predatory fury on the woman. As much fun as it would be to try the beast, she decided that she would back down for now. She wondered if the beast could somehow smell the blood on her; it wouldn't surprise her.

She gave the Elf a sour glance at her words, but simply giggled it off. "As you wish..." She calmly replied.

She listened inattentively to the reception's question regarding the arena. "Truthfully, it doesn't make any difference to me one way or the other. I'm sure it will be a joyful experience regardless."

Hisana then turned her attention back to Kazudain, still interested in the man. "To honor the Elf's request, would you like to continue our conversation at a local tavern perhaps?~ I still don't even know your name yet."

While her sights were transfixed on the hooded man, she began to think about what Enishi might be doing right now. Her Flimsy Lies must still be keeping him busy. I'm sure he's probably trying to convince some official that I'm a menace to the kingdom and that I need to be taken down or something. Teehee.~ She spoke to herself in her mind, giggling a little.

---

CITY SQUARE
-------------------------------------
Enishi thought for a moment as to what to say. He'd guessed that the higher ups wouldn't just cancel an event as renowned as the Grand Festival due to the words of some foreign stranger. Furthermore, the guard seem to be more suspicious of him rather than his target. He greeted his teeth as he was sure Hisana planned all this from the very beginning.

He supposed he'd start with his name. "My name is Enishi Fuyu. I'm what you would refer to as a bounty hunter-for-hire. He made a respectful bow as a sign of courtesy.

"I doubt you'd want to shut down the whole festival on my word alone, but hopefully it won't come to that. The culprit doesn't actually target normal people. Only people who are versed in combat - like the Seraph Academy students. By now she's probably already registered in the tournament, if she has her way it could get ugly. If I can just find her, I'll make it a point that she's not able to harm anyone ever again."

While Enishi's tone was benevolent, one could sense underlying malice in his words. Though the malice seemed only to be directed toward Hisana.

"I specialize in immobilizing targets dead in their tracks. Believe it or not I'm quite handy with ice magic." Said Enishi as he held out his hand. A light blue orb of energy began to form in his palm; frozen air began to envelop his hand. The winged official would feel a chilling breeze coming from the mercenary's palm.

"If you want more information regarding the woman, you're free to take a look at my bingo book. It's authentic, you can tell by the seal."

Hisana looked with a bit of curiosity at the hooded man's companion; a rather large feline beast. It had its gaze set on the woman, as if waiting to see what she'll do. It needn't worry, at least for now anyway.

"I suppose you could say that~" Mused Hisana. She began to walk over to the beast, bending over to meet with it eye level.

"I must say I find your pet to be quite adorable~ Would it mind if I were to pet it?

The princess responded politely to the salutations she received from her peers, she then noticed Mira approach her from among the crowd. "Hello Yasunori! I see you decided to participate in the tournament this year!" Said the princess. Lisia's expression grew more serious at the mention of Varjan's participation. "I expected as much, indeed he is very skilled." Said the princess.

Very skilled was putting it midly; despite Lisia excelling at all subjects, Varjan was nearly her equal by every bit. There was always gossip as to who was the better student. While the challenge would normally excite the young heir, this year she wanted to win, and Varjan just might rob her of victory.

At the very least, the girl was familiar with her classmate's style of combat and magical application. Part of her was more worried about the outside competitors. "We'll have to tread carefully this year. We'll be up against people we've never even seen before, not to mention we haven't a clue what their combat strategies are."

SOUTH COURTYARD
---------------------------------------------------
Hisana watched with a blank as the black armored warrior who tackled her made off with the pouch she stole a while earlier. She flipped herself back up and looked off to the distance as the man ran away, still screaming at the top of his lungs about how everyone's going to die.

"That man should apologize after bumping into a lady like that." She said whilst dusting herself off, unconcerned about the pouch. It's not like it was hard to steal in the first place. Plus, having the pouch stolen from her might actually work to her favor. However, anyone near Hisana at this moment would feel a very murderous aura emanating from her.

"When I have the time I should find that man. Killing him might perk my boredom. Yes, I'll gut him like a mewling pig, his blood will fall like pedals and stain the earth with red~" She said, trying her best to hide the insanity in her eyes. She then remembered that she still needed to register for the tournament. The murderous aura vanishing instantly, Hisana made her way to the tent.

@Frozen0Titan
She took note of the hooded man at the reception, she guessed he was another outside participant. But the was something about him, something that turned her on... His hidden power, perhaps?

"Tell me good sir, was that screaming man who ran away just now a friend of yours?" The red-haired woman inquired to the hooded figure as her paperwork was being filled out by the elf receptionist.

CITY SQUARE
----------------------------------------------------
Feeling a large claw on his shoulder, Enishi turned to see a winged woman who had the look of an official. He listened to her talk about looking for a red-haired woman and a "guy with an eastern hat". He guessed she meant him...?

With a large sigh Enishi turned to speak to the winged woman. "I remember that feline guard telling me about how his friend's wallet was stolen. If you wanna know who did it, I have a pretty good idea who the culprit is." Said the mercenary.

"But believe you me, due to the nature of the culprit, a stolen wallet gonna be the least of your worries if we don't stop her..."

Razelia: The Kingdom Of Magic (FINISHED)

The GM has graciously given me free reign to RP as the Princess. Here's her character sheet.

Lisianthus von Zauberheim

Appearance:


Name: Lisianthus von Zauberheim - Scion of Blessed Lightning

Race: Human

Magic/Abilities

Blessed Lightning
As heir to the Royal Throne and the first daughter of the Zauberheim household, Lisia has inherited the family's sacred lightning. It combines some aspects of both holy and lightning magic, being able to purify curses and provide blessings for allies. It also gives all unfortunate enough to come into contact with it a nasty shock.

Sample Spells

Mjolnir's Blessing: Using her blade, Lisia is able to lift curses around her and buff her allies. Using this costs a decent amount of stamina, but the effects shouldn't be taken for granted. The spell also has healing properties

Reflect: The princess can generate a barrier than can repel weak magical attacks. Though it's hard for her to attack and defend at the same time.

Raging Thunder: Lisia calls forth thunderbolts from her hand or sword and channels it against her foes; she can either fire them directly at her opponent or call them down in the form of lightning pillars.

Flash Step: The princess places great pride in her speed, moving as quick as the lighting she calls forth. She often overwhelms her foes with high-speed movement. She begin to become sluggish if low on stamina, however.

Expert Fencer
The Crown Princess has taken her fencing classes very seriously at Seraph Academy, as a result, she has been recognized as one of the best swordsman in her grade. She wields the blade Mjolnir, given to her by her father in order to assist with her lighting magic training.

Class Valedictorian
Being the Seraph Academy Student Council president, Lisia's grades are second to none. Her studious nature and high aptitude for academics have earned her admiration from her peers and teachers alike. This also lends her an analytical and cautious mind during mock battles.

Personality: Lisianthus is a kind-hearted young lady who shows empathy toward all citizens of the realm. Having been groomed as the school's star pupil and as the future successor to the throne, she is serious, diplomatic, and poised to unbelievable extremes. Many of her fellow students look up to her as an inspiration, often looking to her for assistance with studies.

However, due to the staggering high expectations set on her by her family, mentors, and peers, she is often seen as a perfectionist and can be over-critical of herself when she doesn't receive the results she sets for herself. It is perhaps due to her view of her father, who she idolizes above all else, that lead to her perfectionist personality. Lisia is indeed terrified of not meeting her father's lofty expectations. This causes a certain duality to her psyche, the latter of which often creates distance between the princess and her fellow students; Lisianthus is often left with a sense of isolation and self-doubt.

She is also fiercely protective of her little brother, Lutz, the crown prince of the realm. She loves him deeply and often dotes on him whenever she has the chance.

Background: Lisianthus was born 18 years ago in the captial city of Razelia, her birth was met with divine celebration as the first born child of King Reinhardt and Queen Brunhilde. From a young age Lisia was raised and educated to be the best of the best, so as to be a worthy heir to the throne of Zauberheim.

During her time at the academy, her accomplishments were met with praise and pride. She aced all tests with flying colors and showed a high aptitude for the magical arts. Having now come of age, she wishes to participate in this year's tournament in order to gain recognition from her father.

Sample Post

The princess was hard at work helping with preparations for the Grand Festival and tournament. She received help from some of her fellow student council members as they raised banners and hung festive decorations around the premises.

"Hey Lisia, have you registered for the tournament yet? I know you've been meaning to enter since the start of this school year, right?" Said one of Lisia's council members, a young Elf girl with long brunette hair.

"Of course I have, Matilda! Students with higher standing have the privilege of being able to register before others." Replied the princess, just finishing hanging another decoration on one of the pillars.

"Just making sure. You know, I hear this year a bunch of outside competitors are being hired on to fight against us students. I hear some of them are quite strong AND that some of them may even be in the city right now!" Said Matilda, trying to get a rise out of the royal heir.

"Yes, I am aware. It's not as though it'd be the first time the officials have done this. It's a way to truly test our skills and studies. Plus it's a good way for us to gain experience fighting opponents from an outside setting." Said Lisia, as she hopped off the ladder she was using to hang ornaments. "OK! Now that we've completed this task, we should start preparing for the tournament. It's going to start not too long from now."

"As meticulous and methodical as ever I see!" The two girls turn to see the Head Master of the academy, Zephiel Kruger.

"Oh Head Master Kruger, I thought you'd still be busy doing paperwork and making preparations of your own! What brings you here?" The princess was taken aback for a moment not expecting to run into the school lead authoritative figure.

"Oh just thought I'd check up on our school's brightest pupil is all." Kruger looks around at all of the ornaments and streamers lining the school walls. "My, you've been busy haven't you?" Kruger's gaze suggested he was quite impressed with the students' work.

"It's nothing, really. We were just about to go make preparations for the tournament, having already registered." Said Lisia in a respectful tone. "We really must be going! Please excuse us!" With a respectful bow, the two girls made their way to the Seraph courtyards.

"I'm sure you'll do fine at the tournament! Make your parents proud!" Exclaimed the Head Master.

"That was kind of abrupt wasn't it?" Matilda looked at the student council president with a curious stare.

"I...thought it'd be for the best just to move along to our preparations. Between you and me, having the Head Master dote on you constantly gets pretty aggravating at times.

Razelia: The Kingdom Of Magic (FINISHED)

WEST GATE
-------------------------------------------
The second gate was met with what appeared to be many nobles from out of the country, word of the tournament reached far it seems. Not that it mattered to this woman, she simply wanted to gain entry. To make sure things went swimmingly, however, she would have to mind her P's & Q's for now. Finally getting her turn in line, Hisana made her way to the official guarding the gate.

"Hello, my name is Hisana. I'm a traveling mercenary-for-hire and I wish to enter this year's tournament." Hisana placed her elbows on the table as to reveal more of her bust to the gatekeeper sitting opposite her. The guard took a noticeable glance at the estranged woman before regaining focus.

"Well, that's fine Ma'am, just allow me to process the necessary paperwork and you'll be on your merry way. May I see it please?" Said the guard in a somewhat uncomfortable tone.

Hisana held out her left arm as she used the right to pull something out of her sleeve; she began to take out a fancy roll of documents from the left sleeve. However, it was easy to tell that her glove was skin tight, so it appeared as though she pulled the paper out of nowhere. Perplexed, the guardsman looked on with a curious squint.

"Um...excuse me Ma'am, but are you some sort of street performer? In this place where REAL magic is common ground, I don't think your simple parlor tricks will net you very far..." Said the guard as he took the paperwork from Hisana's hand. He began looking through it with his hand resting on his jaw.

"Oh, I do agree, as such I mainly reserve those tricks for parties and places where money is gambled away." Responded the flashy woman. After several minutes, the guard firmly placed a seal on the documents with a stamp and handed them back to the woman.

"Alright, your paperwork checks out, Ma'am. It seems your combat ability is quite noteworthy according to your background, I'm sure the students will be able to learn a lot from you." Said the gatekeeper. "You may pass. You will find the tournament registration site in the courtyards of the academy. Take the main road and watch for the banners, you can't miss it."

"Thanks, love. I'm sure it will be an excellent learning experience for all of us~" Mused Hisana as she made her way passed the gate. As she guard took a sip from his cup, he begat a unpleasant expression on his face as he quickly spat out the drink. "Ugh!" Was all he managed to say. "What's your problem, Magnov?" Said his fellow watchmen.

"The mead I was drinking just turned rancid for some reason! I've never tasted something so putrid in my life!" Magnov's cat beastkin colleague couldn't help but laugh at the man trying to get the taste out of his mouth. The cat then turned an eye to the lady leaving the premises, having a feeling that she was the one responsible. "I should invite her to one of our parties sometime. That lass seems like she knows how to have fun!" He thought to himself.

As she made her way into the city the bustle of the festivities could be seen, street paved with vendors and party goers. Many students could also be seen making their way to the site as well; Hisana figured if she got lost she could just tail one of them.

As she began walking further into the city, she wondered if her icy friend picked up on her trial yet. She hadn't seen him since the incident in Renvall. Giggling to herself, she made a money pouch appear with just a flick of her wrist. Bouncing it up and down in her palm she quietly thought to herself. "I wonder how long it will take that fool guard to realize that I stole his wallet? Teehee~" So far gaining entry into the capital went without a hitch, takes to her falsifying documents with Flimsy Lies.

---

WEST GATE
-----------------------------------------------
Sometime after a certain dame passed the gate, a figure dressed in eastern attire white as snow made his way to the gatekeeper. This time, however, it was the cat beastkin. "Good afternoon, sir. By your dress I'd wager your from the lands far to the east. I must say we don't get too many of your kind here." The guard took notice of the man's peculiar-looking sword. "I imagine you're here to register for the tournament?"

"Originally yes, but there is a more pressing issue at hand. If you see a young woman with long red hair and a rose bustier, you have to detain her immediately! She's a dangerous murderer!" Said the mercenary in a rushed tone.

The guard looked at the man with a rather surprised expression, taking in his words. "I did, as a matter of fact, see a lass matching your description come by here. My friend just passed her through registration not too long ago, quite the card that one. However, she didn't appear to look or match the part of being some dangerous criminal. That, and her paper work checked out. If anything, you look more suspicious spouting out random accusations without any hard proof." Said the cat guard as he folded his arms, leaning back in his chair.

"I...listen, what reason would I have to lie to you? I'm a bounty hunter who keeps the balance by taking out different targets, and I'm telling you she's one of them! You wanna see my bingo book?" Said the hunter as he reached into his pockets for something.

"That won't be necessary, friend. After processing her paperwork, her name didn't show up anywhere in the records as a wanted criminal. As far as we can see, she's as clean as a whistle." Asserted the guard.

"I...I see, is that right?" The hunter's fears came to pass, it seems she was indeed able to get a pass through the system with fake paperwork.

"Yeah, it is. Now are you going to register or not? I can't picture you coming all this way just to stir commotion at this festive time; you're holding up the line I'll have ya know!" At this point the guard was becoming impatient with the bounty seeker.

With a heavy sigh, the hunter knew he was getting nowhere fast. Oh well, he'd have to find another way."Please forgive me." Politely replied the young man. "All is forgiven, name please?" Asked the guard.

"Enishi Fuyu".

"Hmm, I seem to remember some of my friends talking about some weird Taoist mercenary who was making quite the name for himself out in the field of bounty hunting. Well, you certainly are weird, that's for sure. But, I also sense a kindred spirit in you." The cat's tone shifted to a more light-hearted one.

"You flatter me, sir." Said Enishi as he handed the guard his paperwork. After few minutes, the guard stamped the documents with the official kingdom seal. "Alright laddie, you're free to go! The tournament registration grounds are on the school premises. Head down the main road and you'll arrive in no time. Just head to any of the courtyards, they're in the purple tents." The guard handed the papers back to Enishi.

"Thank you, sir, I'll be on my way then. By the way, where's your friend? Asked the mercenary. "He's currently not available. Seems the poor guy lost his wallet somehow, he's turning the whole gate upside down trying to find it. I fear he may go mad looking for it, he was going to buy his children souvenirs. I'm surprised he hasn't shut the line down yet." Said the guard with a shrug.

"I see...very well then. Thanks anyway." Said Enishi as he made his way into the city. He was taken a back by the preparations for the Grand Festival; the capital city was as beautiful as the rumors suggested. Looking at all the students preparing for the tournament also got him excited. But, duty calls first! It was time to earn his pay and keep the townspeople safe.

"I will find you Hisana. And when I do, I'll sublimate you!"

Razelia: The Kingdom Of Magic (FINISHED)

@Frozen0Titan

The main OC will have somewhat of a history with her, you'll see.

@PaulHaynek

I also wanted to ask, do your rules regarding posting and combat apply to OCs of the same RPer who are having them interact with each other alone?

Razelia: The Kingdom Of Magic (FINISHED)

Here's one of my sub characters, I'll the main and the other sub up soon.

Hisana

Appearance:

Hisana is a beautiful young-looking woman who doesn't appear to be at all menacing; having long scarlet red hair alongside an interesting choice of fashion. Her violet eyes denote an underlying menace.

Name: Hisana: The Scarlet Dame of Hedonism

Race: Human

Magic/Abilities

(Will think of more in time)

Alchemic Transmutation
Hisana’s main method of attack involves her transmuting her magical energy to mimic the properties of other substances and objects. She uses this ability to great effect, often catching her opponents off guard with the versatility and tenacity of her attacks.

Elastic Love: Hisana’s favorite transmutation ability, she has her magic aura mimic stretchy and sticky objects (gum, rubber, goo). She can use this to trap and bind opponents, limiting their maneuverability and offensive options. Hisana and also use it to grab onto things and pull them toward her; she can also use it for quick escapes during disturbances. Due the elastic nature of the energy, the ability can be used to absorb and reflect different attacks.

Flimsy Lies: Hisana is able to apply her magical aura to any flat, smooth surface (like paper and cloth) and imprint imagery on it of her choosing. The different texture and appearance this creates is useful for deceiving others, she can even use in conjunction with Elastic Love to alter the appearance of her own skin (hiding flesh wounds and scars). Since this technique no trace of magic after being applied, it isn’t detectable unless someone catches her doing it beforehand (Or someone can piece two and two together.)

Poker Cards: Hisana’s only physical weapon is a deck of playing cards she always carries on her person. They are of a custom color – being violet with sliver outlines. With the use of alchemy, the cards have the same sharpness and denseness of steel. She uses them skillfully as though they were throwing knives and slashing daggers.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant
Hisana is a force to be feared at close range. Her fighting style is highly aggressive, focused mostly on countering and enfeebling foes. Hisana enjoys causing painful bruises and breaking bones with her fists. She is also highly adaptable, often using her environment to her advantage. Light on her feet, she uses speed and graceful maneuvers to dodge and befuddle opponents to knock them off their game.

Personality: To the very core of her soul Hisana is an un-empathic sociopath; she is self-serving, self-absorb, and selfish. She acts only on her desires and will undergo any task so long as it amuses or arouses her in some way. She finds euphoric pleasure in fighting strong opponents, which seems to fuel her sadomasochistic tendencies involving frequent actions of violence and murder. Hisana is also highly intelligent, specializing in deducing an opponent’s techniques and fighting style.

Background: Not much is known of the past of this crazed dame, but in present day her name is a subject of caution among certain circles.

Her destructive tendencies have earned her an infamous status in the mercenary and underground world, her bio in the bingo book tells quite the story of her past escapades. Her purpose for coming to the kingdom is due to a rising interest in the magical prowess of it’s more sorcery-inclined citizenry.

She hopes to find fresh new fruit, so that when they ripen, she can pluck them. Hisana enters the tournament under the guise of being one of the secret outside competitors hired by the officials.

Sample Post

“Hmm…So this is the capital city of Razelia? Zauberhiem, how fascinating~” Hisana said to herself with an oddly warm smile on her face. She looked at the main city while standing on a hill overlooking the landscape. She looked as floods of people main their way toward the entrance gates.

She managed to be brought on as one of the outside fighters in the tournament, so as to the strength and potential of the students of Seraph Academy. A reason she is all too fine with, “I have high hopes for this low-hanging fruit, it will help me ascertain how they will fare once ripened~”

The battle-crazed sadomasochist begins to walk toward the main gate among the large crowds of attendees. She would have to be careful, while on the way to the main road she had a skirmish with some bandits who mistook her for a simple maiden passing. Their fates were less than pleasant. She did her best to wash off the blood and other scents of battle before coming to the capital.

As she made her way towards registration, she could see some of the students making preparations and bustling about. “Were these some of the participates?” She wondered. Simply sensing the abundant magical energy in the area was enough to get her off. She could barely contain her excitement; she was also looking forward to meeting her fellow outside warriors.

If she wanted to keep a low profile she would have to keep her stimulation in check…

Here's the second one (This one's the main)

Enishi Fuyu

Appearance:

A man of 5'10'', Enishi wears white eastern garb with blue sashes along with tribal armor he inherited from the Fuyu Clan. He stands with his katana-like weapon riddled with magic markings, having the top of his head covered by his kasa. The hat did very little to hide his long back hair that he didn't bother to ever tie up in a ponytail, saying that it was "Too much work."

Name: Enishi Fuyu – The Daoist of Permafrost

Race: Human

Magic/Abilities:

World-Class Swordsman: Enishi’s swordsmanship is considered by his peers to be top-class, his training and experience on the field has left him with skill and deadly precision. He mainly uses the Iai style of swordplay – lighting fast quick draws that focus on cutting down foes in an instant. Many unfortunate bounties have found themselves already on the ground by the time Enishi has sheathed his blade; having sliced them several times in the blink of an eye.

Expect-level Ice Magic: His training after being adopted into the Fuyu Clan has given the bounty hunter note-worthy skill with water manipulation. Using his magical energy, he mainly freezes water and uses ice to attack his foes. Usually freezing moisture in the air around him, he can also conjure water in order to further strengthen his icy attacks (though this tends to use up more of his stamina). Enishi often likes to either bind his target by freezing their limbs in steel-hard ice, combining said magic to augment his swordplay, or conjuring ice blades for close and long-range attacks.

Onmyoji Spellcasting: The Fuyu's teachings have also left Enishi with decent knowledge of occult and nature techniques. He mainly uses these magics to dispel curses and provide blessings to allies, but he has some useful curses of his own up his sleeve.

Spell Examples

Exorcism: Used to remove curses and lingering magical effects, the area of effect depends on how much stamina Enishi is willing or able to use at the moment.

Flux: Basing this technique on the Taoist practices of Onmyodo, Enishi is able to create illusions in order to confuse enemies. He can also create near-perfect copies of himself to further confound his targets; they disappear if hit once, however. But by that time it’s usually too late for bounties, as they get struck down by the hunter’s blade.

Fuinjutsu: By using incantations and magical talismans, Enishi can seal different magical energies in order to disable certain spells. It’s possible to counter if the spell in question is stronger than the amount of energy used in Enishi’s incantations. Disabling multiple spells tends to use up a high amount of stamina, so it’s best not used in succession.

Restore: Used to restore stamina to others, takes longer and more energy to use on multiple people.

Earth Curse: Casts a curse on the foe, making them feel sluggish and tired. It makes it harder to gather magic for the foe and thus doesn’t allow for continuous spell casting. This technique is rather simple to dispel for those who are more knowledge and takes decent energy to cast, so Enishi uses it with caution.

Track: Enishi’s nature spells can be used to detect beings within his general vicinity, even if they’re masking their magical aura. A useful technique for tracking down criminals and bounties. He can extend the range of the detection field at the expense of more stamina.

Heavenly Stream: Enishi throws a talisman into the air that causes beautiful white feathers to fall to the ground. When the feathers touch any surface, they let loose a burst of light pillars that damage all enemies who stand in their way. The pillars can also restore allies and remove blessings placed on opponents; an advanced spell that requires a lot of stamina and is impossible to use in succession.

Personality: At first glance, many would describe Enishi Fuyu as a callous individual; cold, calm, and collected. But while he is somewhat of an introvert, he is actually a rather kind individual and is easy to talk to once someone gets to know him. He has a sharp sense and is in tune with nature, making it easy for him to foster friendships with beastkin. Intelligent and witty, he can be jovial and snarky at times, but he ultimately means well.

Many not familiar with Eastern culture usually find Enishi’s Taoist beliefs and practices to be…off-putting to say the least. He is and an avid believer of the phrase “All things exist in flux”, a belief that all things are in a constant state of change and all beings go through a cycle of rebirth, passing, and reincarnation.

There are those who accuse Enishi of being a strange individual, not wholly understanding the meaning of his words. All in all, he means well; Enishi is simply saying that one should not let themselves be overtaken by grief when befallen with tragedy, and that the future is always subject to change. He believes that people should accept that there are things in this world that are simply beyond their control and embrace the chaos in order to live fulfilling lives.

He takes his job as a bounty hunter very seriously, taking down many criminals and corrupt officials with deft swiftness and peerless skill. The robotic and callous manner in which he completes missions is what earned him his moniker. What many don’t know is that Enishi has a secret passion for fighting, and is always eager to test his skills.

Background: Once a young boy orphaned by civil war, he was adopted by a traveling monk who was later revealed to be a member of the Fuyu, a clan of magic users in the snowy mountains far away in the eastern lands. Burning with a desire to get stronger, Enishi decided to train under the monk, learning the clan’s swordplay and spellcasting. He also inherited their religious beliefs and still holds true to them this very day.

Though his work has him traveling everywhere, he still keeps in close contact with the Fuyu. It was admiration for the monk who took him in that spurred him to become a mercenary, taking down bounties and quelling civil conflicts so that people don’t suffer the same way he did. This is Enishi’s own way of keeping the “flux” in balance.

Hearing rumors of a certain magical kingdom renowned for its skilled warriors and sorcerers, he decides to enter the Festival Tournament as a means of test his skills. Though, another major reason for entering was due to a tip he received about a dangerous bounty hoping to run amok at the Festival.

Sample Post

While walking on the main road toward the Razelian Kingdom's capital city, a young mercenary looked upon a scene of corpses laid sprawled on the ground. From the their garb they looked to be local bandits. Upon closer inspection, he could see trace amounts of a strange sticky substance on the bodies. In addition, the bodies were covered in slash marks where he could still see blood pouring out. The mercenary then laid eyes on what appeared to be a playing card in the middle of the corpses, it displayed the Joker card soaked in red. That immediately gave away whose handy work this was. "Damn, she's here already?! I'm too late, I had hope to catch her before she entered the capital city.", said Enishi as he used his hand to tilt his kasa, hiding his face as his shook his head in disapproval.

"I pray you lot find peace in the afterlife. I also pray that you will be reincarnated as individuals who have more respect for the laws and lives of those around you." Said the sellsword as he gestured his hands to make a prayer sign.

With a heavy sigh, Enishi hastily made his way toward the main gate to enter Zauberheim. He had to put a stop to this before things got out of hand. "She'll more than likely trick the officials by masquerading as a common mercenary, gaining registration at the tournament. I can't let her harm a single student!" Enishi said to himself.
