Nobody's Character-A-Day!

Name: Xerra Urandee Ri'Hara
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Race: Ri'Hara clan human. They're like humans but with some enhancements (mentioned in abilities) and have a pact with the Apparis, beings who inhabit another dimension, allowing them to enter that dimension through certain gates.
Appearance: She's a 5'7, athletic looking woman with mocha colored skin. Her black hair is long enough to reach her mid-back. Her bangs are not symmetrical, starting high on the left side and angled downward as it goes right (going from leaving most of the forehead exposed to covering some of her right eyebrow). It ends in a long braided strand of hair covered in golden rings and blue/purple cloth. She sometimes has painted a dull red colored symbol over her left eyebrow that looks like a circle that is all distorted and swirling around. From this symbol, depending on the scenario, extends paint that can cover her entire body in symbols. She wears golden ringed earrings. The colors compliment her vibrant gold iris's that are a well know trait of her clan. Her eyelids are narrow and some would describe them as fierce yet elegant looking, the same being true to the rest of her face. Her face is angular with high cheekbones, a downward pointed nose, and a pointed chin. She sometimes wears purple eyeshadow and nail polish as well as a faint purple lipstick. However, this is not always the case.
She wears a blue and purple colored toga over a form fitting black sleeveless shirt and black shorts, or possibly her upper body wrapped in white bandages that adequately cover her chest, which is a C cup. She wears beaded necklaces and bracelets. She sometimes wears brown fingerless gloves and brown sandals, although sometimes she uses white bandages wrapped around them if she does the same to her chest. She also wears tan colored boots if expecting to walk around a lot outdoors.
Personality: She's normally stoic and a loner, not wanting to get others involved in her own problems. She tries to toughen things out, stubbornly not backing down unless she realizes that she would be putting others in jeopardy over it. She's had this problem ever since her clan was all but wiped out and any team she joined being destroyed one way or another; her often being the only one strong enough to survive so she puts extra burden on herself. She does have a caring side to her but she mostly keeps that hidden behind a stone cold exterior.

Abilities

Physical Enhancements-Using only her physical abilities she could take on 3 of the most physically capable normal humans evenly. Their race is known for having great control over their bodies such as slowing their heart rate, oxygen consumption, controlling their nerves (emotion-wise) and constricting blood vessels if they focus hard enough. Plus they're very flexible, have heightened reactions by about twice as quick as normal humans, and have one very heightened version of one of the five senses. In her case it's smell. On the downside she finds bad smells all the more repugnant. Her sense of smell is no better then a blood hound and only if she puts attention into it.
Sword Training-Her style uses a lot of slicing maneuvers with power behind them, sacrificing flair for practicality and not much wasted movement for what she needs accomplished. Her technique is not on par with a master swordsman but she's good at overwhelming people and she's been practicing ever since she's been old enough to properly wield a sword, so she certainly knows her way around the standard swordfight. It's possible to say that her greatest flaw in sword fighting is her footwork.
Unarmed combat-She knows the basics of unarming people and has a fighting style to try and use the opponent's momentum against them. However, practice for this comes third to her sword fighting and magic and the lack of finesse shows. She did get into a lot of street fights as a kid if that counts for anything.

Magical Powers

She has power over a certain liquid-metal material colored glittering black called exilindrite. At the same density of steel it's twice as strong and can resonate with her energy to become even stronger. She can "feel" where it is within 200 feet so doesn't need visual confirmation within that range, making it move for her just as easily as if it were an extension of her body. There's no end to what she can do with it besides the following limitations:

1. She can move it with her mind at any distance up to 200 feet effectively, but past that distance she begins to struggle. At 1,000 feet she has some minor level of control, given that she has an adequate view of the material, but it's very sloppy control and requires a lot more concentration.

2. She can only move an amount of this material with around the same total volume of an adult rhino effectively. Beyond that and she begins to show minor visible strain. If she moves a mass of exilindrite the size of a blue whale then it will require her undivided attention and be an absolute struggle from start to finish.

3. She can move the material at speeds of 1,800 feet per second, but only if in a consistent motion such as straight forward or rotational force. If she does complex maneuvering then the speed will drop accordingly.

4. While in the process of altering it's shape it is momentarily weakened as it becomes more liquid-like then solid-like. However, once it stops moving it almost instantaneously turns back into it's full strength solid, and even it's liquid form still provides the stopping power of iron. Moving means amongst itself and not talking about in relation to other things. For example, a glob in the shape of a sword could be swung around as a solid, but if the sword is changing shape as it's being swung then it would be it's liquid form.

5. Forming exilindrite out of thin air takes tremendous energy out of her. To form 1 cubic foot of it requires 10 minutes and will leave her visibly fatigued. It can be found in nature but very rarely so will not be randomly stumbled upon mid battle unless you specifically request that happen.

6. Exilindrite can only be permanently destroyed under special circumstances that break apart the magical bonds of the metal so that it can no longer be controlled. However, simply breaking the metal itself apart into a thousand pieces wouldn't be enough to do so. It requires a special techniques specifically designed to break apart the magical bonds, or be an attack so powerful that it removes all traces of the Exilindrite.

Everything not mentioned as limited is fair game (besides obviously not allowed stuff such as having it turn into monkies). She can split up the material in as many different ways and forms as desired, from giant drills to hundreds of tiny bullets, use it to pick stuff up, etc.

Bio

The Ri'Hara clan has long been the only humans allowed within the Apparis's dimension after the father of the clan many centuries ago bested one of the most powerful Apparis in existence after much boasting between the two a bet being made. The bet was honored and the Ri'Hara were allowed safe passage into their dimension for as long as their bloodline would last. They build sacred temples around the gates between the two dimensions and were tasked with guarding these gates with their very lives as a team with the Apparis. This was to prevent undesired individuals of either side to travel through the dimensions and cause trouble. Things went along smoothly for many years, when all of a sudden the Apparis kingdom was split into two factions; one of them vehemently opposed to the humans, and by extension the Ri'Hara. Even some of the teams working with them were secretly of this rival faction and killed off many Ri'Hara, including Xerra's father, as far as she knows. Many Ri'Hara sacrificed themselves to remain at the temples even as the Apparis closed in around them in order to destroy the portals so that the evil Apparis couldn't get through into the human world. Despite all odds they managed to fend them off long enough to do so until only one portal remained. Rather then destroy this portal (which Xerra herself didn't know how to do), Xerra's mother, who was with her inside the temple, instead chose to protect her daughter with all of her strength. Both her mother and all of Xerra's fellow Apparis, who she spent her entire life growing up with, were killed in the battle, but the enemy suffered tens of thousands of casualties, causing the survivors to cower away in fear against the woman who would do everything to protect her daughter. The young Xerra rushed out into the pouring rain to try and kill off any of the stragglers, although some managed to escape.

This evil faction of Apparis suffered such heavy causalities during the battles that the side loyal to the Ri'Hara were able to push them back and force them into hiding, although they were never truly eliminated. Xerra devoted the rest of her teenage years to training in relative seclusion within the temple holding the last portal, protecting it and waiting for the day when she could kill off every last Apparis who participated in the war that drove her clan to near extinction. A bit after she had turned 19 the Apparis came out of hiding for a second huge push with all of their focus on that one temple with an army 10,000 strong. Unfortunately for them she spent most of this time amassing a huge stockpile of exilindrite in anticipation for such revenge. The battle lasted for 5 hours and she was left collapsed at near death from exhaustion with most of the metal obliterated beyond repair, but the Apparis army was completely destroyed through a near constant rain of metal.

Public bath houses are a thing, so I don't see why this school for proper ladies wouldn't have one. A HUUUUUUGE fancy one, at that.

Himawari might not trust Rika now to go there...

It was hard to see properly in the darkness of the closet, but Rika somehow managed to fit herself properly into the uniform, her skirt a little higher then most but still passable, and a pink hair clip snapped in place above her right ear, although it wasn't fulfilling any purpose other then for looks. She wanted at least a little bit of style to show through, even if it was as simple as a single hairclip. Go to overboard and she'd be violating the dress code and could get in trouble, which wouldn't look good for her career if it was a serious enough offense. She used this moment of solitude to take a couple of deep breaths to try and regain her composure. She probably couldn't make the situation any worse right now, so she might as well try her luck once more at making things right again before they had to go to class. She didn't have much time for any theatrics. Something short and sweet. Forget about what anime clichés might work out for her. Try to be more real.

"You can do this Rika!" She thought to herself, slapping her cheeks with the palms of her hands. Perhaps Himawari could have heard the noise or perhaps not. It would have been muffled by the door. She slide it open and stepped out, a bright, reassuring smile on her face perfected through her acting career.

"My apologies, Himawari-San. That was just a silly joke. I'm actually a voice actress, see?" As she said this she walked over to one of the plushies on the desk she had acted for, held it up by her face and moved it around as if it was a puppet, speaking in it's high pitched voice, "Please forgive me, Himawari-san!"

I'm back! Time to catch up on the IC and then post.

As for classroom roleplaying, a lot of anime shows them just interacting during the lunch break or at the very end/beginning. That way we can show our characters meeting each other and have the freedom to do some talking. I agree that we should have the same PE time.

My knight in shining armor...is a woman?! (fxf)

Alright, it looks like a love triangle between us and vangola. You can both be a female knight we don't know which is the real one or one of you can choose another character idea.

Omg so pretty, I like your style :D

Thanks. It's a new style I tried out, much different then my mysterious boy drawing. I'll be doing both styles for a bit, not wanting to settle on only one just yet, if ever.

Nobody's Character-A-Day!

Name: Mimi Tail
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Race: Catgirl
Appearance: She wears

this

style of pajama, only appearing more like a

cat

. Underneath the pajamas she wears baggy, comfy looking brown tank top and pants with cartoon cat images on them. She looks like

this

except light brown fur on the ears and tail.
Personality: She overreacts to almost anything and is both highly selfish and jealous. Her spunkiness knows no bounds. Due to discrimination about her being half cat she now disguises her identity by wearing a cat suit, making them believe she's just in costume.

Abilities

Cat following-Stray cats tend to want to follow her around all the time and sometimes helps her out, but only if they feel like it.
Physical abilities-She's dexterous and nimble. Her other physical abilities are not superhuman but would certainly be impressive for a girl her age. She can always land on her feet if reasonably possible.
Cat burglary-She has some skills in stealth, pick pocketing, and breaking in.
Street fighting-She knows how to street fight but tends to do poorly in prolonged combat. She's best at taking the enemy by surprise.
Parkour-She can run away through her environment by choosing the best path for escape, climbing up walls and leaping across roofs, etc.
Cat senses-She has all the advantages of cat senses but none of the disadvantages. For example she has better night vision but keeps the human's better color vision.
Yarn manipulation-...you'll see.

Powers

Her powers are fueled by the milk she drinks, so if she drinks more milk she can recharge her magical energy back to full strength.

Yarn Power-She has the ability to control any yarn that her skin is in contact with or if whatever's in between her skin and the controlled yarn is also yarn. This includes clothing if it's weaved out of natural materials, which her clothing is. However, the smaller the strands the weaker they are so it won't do her as much good as the thick balls of yarn she carries with her in her pockets. It's mainly a last resort if she were to use her pajamas. The yarn can move at around 60 miles an hour and she has enough control of it to weave yarn into suits. Transferring some energy into the yarn she can make the yarn tougher for the duration of her control of it, making it around the strength of steel for the balls of yarn or iron for other types of yarn not meant for combat, although due to thickness a single strand wouldn't be much defense so she'd often have to weave together a barrier. Some of her yarn has unique properties but this will be explained in equipment.
Nine Lives-She can die and come back to life nine minutes and nine seconds later with her body completely restored. She has a default of nine lives but can reclaim lost lives by saving someone else's life. Therefore she occasionally does uncharacteristic good deeds.

Weaknesses

*If she goes without drinking milk for extended periods then she slowly looses control of her yarn powers. She can last for about 5 days before loosing her powers completely until she drinks again.
*Drinking soy milk cuts her powers by half until she can get the taste out of her mouth. For full benefit of her powers she needs whole milk. Chocolate milk upgrades her powers x2 for 30 seconds while Strawberry milk upgrades her powers x3 for 30 seconds. Other flavors are similar to normal milk.
*She gets distracted easily by chime sounding noises and lasers, specifically laser pointers.
*She has the attention spawn of an ADHD moth.
*Loose the use of her yarn and she only has her physical abilities to get herself out of a situation.
*Unless otherwise stated, all her yarn can burn up just as easily as normal yarn even if she's putting energy into it.
*She needs a bunch of cat naps, making her asleep more then she's awake.
*She's deathly afraid of dogs.

Equipment

Head: Woolly looking white headband made out of as tough yarn as the yarn balls.
Feet: Woolly looking white socks made out of as tough yarn as the yarn balls. They go up to the knees.
Hands: Woolly looking white mittens made out of as tough yarn as the yarn balls. They go up to the elbows.
Weapons: She has access to many different types of yarn, each ball being 100 yards.
Red- Normal.
Purple- Slowly drains the energy of whatever is in contact of it, transferring it into her.
Yellow- If it gains static electricity it can then zap whatever it's in contact with, it's power equivalent to a weak taser.
Green- Prolonged contact causes flu-like symptoms.
Gold- Indestructible. She takes great care not to loose this in battle.
Other:
Milk- She has three 9 ounce vials of milk, one of chocolate milk, and one of strawberry milk.

Bio

Her father was originally a normal tomcat, albeit with a very high sex drive who often got it on with many cats he found beautiful, which was most of them. Some of the cat owners got mad and tossed him out into the woods. Little did they know that a werewolf was hiding out in those very same moods, and desperately hungry he bit the tomcat, who barely managed to escape with his life. On the next full moon the tomcat turned into a werecat, which actually made him turn much more human, unlike the werewolf who begins human and turns more like a wolf. The werecat scared the villagers at first. Although he had heightened intelligence during this time he still had some animalistic tendencies, so caused quite a ruckus as he rampaged around town, although no casualties were reported. Oddly enough one of the women found him attractive, and the promiscuous tomcat had no problem with it, so they had a one night stand in an abandoned shed. This lasted until the night ended and he turned back into an ordinary tomcat and scurried away. The woman was pregnant with a catgirl so was ridiculed by others for what she had done.

She did her best to raise the young Mimi despite loosing everything and being in poverty. Mimi learned how to get by in any way that she could, which often involved stealing as soon as she was old enough to do so. Her mother died of disease after not affording treatment. Mimi then went to an orphanage. As discrimination got too bad she ran away from this town to start a new life as a normal human in another town. She has had better luck that way but is still a poor orphan. She improved her fighting to get money from bounties, known as Cat the Bounty Hunter as her alias, although never showed her true identity. This is her main source of income, and to get by through other means still involve stealing, but she needs to do this less after making some successful bounty hits.

She was later made contact with by an agent working for an elderly woman known as the Cardinal Knitter, saying that her powers would be perfect for being a member of her army. The Cardinal Knitter has the power to knit clothing to life, and combined with Mimi's power over yarn this could be a force to be reckoned with. She was promised a place to stay and all the milk she could drink, so she accepted the offer. Now she mostly fights against the cult of the Dark Thimble, a group desperate to snip the thread of life that the Cardinal Knitter is in charge of protecting. By using the milk of space-time alteration she can drink it to travel to the past or future for the sake of carrying out the Cardinal Knitters will. She can stay in the chosen time period for as long as the power of the milk runs through her veins, which gives her 5 hours on average. At once point she got a massive power upgrade by weaving the thread of life into her body, killing off 8 of her 9 lives in the process, but she managed to come out on top after defeating the Dark Thimble commander in a one on one battle of fate itself.
