_____________ Azure - the continent that is home to many. It is filled with lush forests, rising cities, busy ports, unforgiving deserts and dangerous volcanoes. It is a place that many creatures roam and live, some don't look much different from you and I, however some could be described as "Mythical" and "Strange". Many have speculated on how and why so many different creatures are able to thrive within Azure however the answer is more simple than what you might think; .
Magic is the very core of Azure, it flows and gives life to the great Kokinna Dentro, the celestial tree that is home to the dragon gods. It is magic that causes the water to move, the winds to blow and the sun to shine. It fills the air and breathes life into every living creature. However not magic is not always good, for some magic is used as a means to further their own goals whether they are good or bad. For human's, who do not inherently posses the ability to use magic unless they are specially trained for it, they see magic and grow greedy.
This is the entire cause for the Beastkin War, human's were greedy at the Beastkin's magic and wanted it for themselves - thus tearing down a peace that shouldn't have been disturbed. Men, women and children slaughtered in the name of "good" - innocents shot down in their prime all because human's couldn't simply live with what they were given. Two people who were once friends were now enemies thrown into a bitter war that seemingly had no end, even now after many generations the hate and bloodshed run as strong as they did back then.
The conflict between the two wages so strongly that other races were pulled into the conflict, some taking the side of the human's and some the Beastkin. Those who chose not to get involved fled to where the war would not reach them, hiding their families from an unnecessary death. The Beastkin War has shaped and defined many cultures and races within Azure, no one can even remember the start of it anymore. Why were they fighting? Is it worth it to continue? Is there no way for these two races to be friends once more? How many more should have to die in the name of a greater cause?
These are questions that don't have a clear answer yet however, even now as the sun begins to peak over the horizon, a feeling of hope still falls over the land. Hope that this war will not last for much longer, hope that no more will have to die, hope that once and for all Azure can be at peace.
The fate of Azure will rest on it's current inhabitants and the choices they make, the stories they create and the relationships they discover.
Welcome Everyone to Azure!
This is simply a small intro post to giver you a feel for what's going on, though it's meant to be a bit vague. For now I would like everyone to simply be doing their own thing in their own part of Azure, doing what they do best. Though do keep in mind that some of these character can and will know each other. Everyone should know about the Beastkin war, it isn't something that is isolated within Ghaba Medina or Kina City, it is spread all through Azure. While individual characters have their own say on who they support or not these are the current standings for who supports who race wise:
Beastkin Supporters Harpies Shadow Elves
Human Supporters Naga Wood and Light Elves
Neutral Angaria Fae Drakari Other Races (If you have made a race and wish to be in one of the above lists please let me know)
This is a vary open world and there aren't a whole lot of limits, however if you are ever unsure of something please do not hesitate to come to me with any questions you have. Also if you have anyone plot twists or idea's that may be good people either PM them to me or DM in discord. If you have not joined our discord please do. Post wise I'm not expecting novels but I'm not limiting you either, however I do ask PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post at least a decent paragraph (I would love more) but I won't force you to write - Quality over quantity.
Also please do not post continuously, what I mean by this is you HAVE to wait a few posts in between your own before posting again. I want this so that two people don't go off on their own and leave everyone else behind. If I see that it's becoming a problem I will assign a posting order, however I hate doing that and really don't want it to come to that. Also please let me know if things happen and you cannot post!

Appearance
Luciana has often been told that she holds a natural beauty, that her looks compare to that of the most delicate rose - though her attitude more resembles pointed thorns. The Italian woman has an ivory skin-tone that almost glows in the sun, she has no problem with getting a nice tan either. She is quite tall compared to the other women in her family standing at a solid 5 feet 7 inches. She has light chestnut-colored hair that has natural highlights, Luci takes a lot of pride in her hair and would never put anything damaging in it. She often prefers to wear it down usually only wearing it up for special occasions. Amber are the color of her eyes, certain colors will pop out depending on what she is wearing though grey always seems the most prominent. Luci always has a thing about looking nice and presentable no matter where she goes. One of her favorite things to say is, "You never know when someone might want to take a picture."
"Ya know...just by looking at you people would think you were the kindest lady ever. But once they get to meet you your kind of a bitch." One of Luciana's high school friends said that to her one day and it sort of just stuck with her. Luciana looks and sounds like she would be a very approachable person and honestly she wouldn't mind if that's how people thought of her like, however she has this bad-girl complex that she feels like she has to maintain. While she man say the occasional rude comment here and there and partake in some questionable activities Luci really is a kind girl with a good heart. Being raised by a hard-working single father taught her to appreciate the things she had and the people around her, even if she tried to act tough.
History
Luciana was born and raised in the countryside of Tuscany, Italy. Her father was a kind man by the name of Lorenzo, he owned a small vineyard and also grew several crops as well as tending to a personal garden. While not large enough to actually sell to restaurants her father made a living selling to smaller places, such as bars and those running private events. This allowed Lorenzo to spoil his one and only daughter, his precious and cute Luciana. Even though Luci grew up well cared for she was always taught to appreciate the things she got from a young age, there were a few times where she even helped her father with charity events.
Being raised by such a kind and warm man caused Luci to have a similar outlook on life, however after a fateful glance at a strange woman when she was fifteen things seemed to change. While reading among the green vines her father grew Luciana came upon a lady who she did not know. She was beautiful to Luci and she admired how gracefully she moved among the vines. Since it wasn't uncommon for tourists to wander in she didn't think much about it until she mentioned it to her father, after describing what the woman looked like he seemed to get lost in memories that had been long buried. That was the day Luciana discovered her heritage - that she was a Demigod and child of Demeter.
After that her mother began to visit them, there was no longer a reason to hide. At first Luciana was nervous around the woman, a goddess was her mother? How was she supposed to even interact with someone like that? But it soon became evident that Demeter was actually a very kind lady. Luci learned that what drew Demeter to her father were the vineyards and crops, but most importantly the beautiful garden that he had made from scratch. Demeter would rant and rave about how wonderful and loved the flowers were, just like Luciana herself.
As Luciana grew one big thing that began to change was her sexuality. She realized that she was attracted to girls, there were so much more tolerable and attractive than guys were, however this was something she knew she had to keep to herself. Both her mother and father had told her how they hoped she found a nice man at the school she would eventually go to, they seemed so happy about it how could she shatter it by telling them a man would never satisfy her? So it was just easier to bottle up all the feelings and thoughts, she wouldn't even tell those she considered friends in fear that they may say something. She began to act differently after that, she found it easier to ward people off if she acted like a bitch even if all she really wanted to do was make friends. Though even under that act most could tell that she was a kind and compassionate person, must be why so many people seemed to stick around.
When it was time for her to go to the Academy her father was practically bawling, he wouldn't get to see his precious daughter for months until the summer. While she was sad Luci was also relieved, she would be able to relax a bit without having the constant worry of exposing herself.
"My child your very presence is like that of the finest flower, beautiful yet delicate. Though when exposed to the harshest of elements you preserve and continue to grow stronger." - Demeter
Godly Parent
Demeter, Goddess of harvest, agriculture, grains, seasons, fertility, nourishment, bread and the earth.
Relationship With Godly Parent
Luciana actually has a very good relationship with her mother. She's known of her heritage and moth since she was fifteen, the goddess visiting every so often to see how her daughter was faring. In those visits Luci learned a lot about her mother, she was a kind and warm person...even if she was a little scatterbrained at times. She really seemed to love all her children and family, it was a quality that Luci herself hoped to have one day. Demeter always treated Luci like she was important, bringing her little trinkets she found or telling her all about rare flowers that she hoped her daughter could see one day. Out of all her stories however Luci found the story of Persephone the most intriguing, though it seemed like her mother didn't like Hades all that much.
Demigod Abilities
Bed Of Roses I This is a conditional ability as the only way she can use it if she's near actual roses. She can manipulate them and use them as if they were whips, using their pointed thorns to cut and shred if need be. This is probably one of her best known abilities and her favorite to use. As long as the roses themselves live she can produce as many vines as she can, however once those pretty roses wither and die or are destroyed then she can no longer use the ability.
Volt Shower I Like most of her abilities this is a very offensive one, Luciana is able to take fallen leaves from the ground or the tree's around her and use them as if they were razor blades. Unfortunately this can be easily countered by anyone who can use winds to knock them back or fires to burn them to ashes. Luci also can use this one for very long and if used long enough she will eventually run out of energy. She really will only use this ability if she finds herself in a sticky situation.
Secret Garden Lullaby I Luciana isn't sure what to call this ability, however it is one that is actually important and dear to her. When she sings then flowers and plants will both sprout and grow stronger. Often when she was a child she found that when she sang in her fathers garden that the flowers seemed to grow brighter, as if they were happy with her song. In return the flowers with produce strong aromas that can cause people to immensely tired and some to even fall asleep.
Plant Mimacry I This ability allows Luciana so produce pheromones similar to that of plants, usually poisonous in nature however. For example a bleeding heart or a blood root can cause vomiting, as such Luci could cause whoever touches her skin to experience these same symptoms. Honeysuckle can help with inflammation in injuries - Luci could produce a pheromone to help those injured. Snapdragon can be used as a sedative...you get the picture.
Um, I hope this works. Please let me know if anything sounds weird >:

Alias Even though she is still so young Koharu has earned herself the nickname of the "Quite flower". It had originally started out as a cute pet name that her family called her, she was their cute yet quite flower. However soon it became evident that her fighting style was very similar, she tricked people because she looked delicate like a flower, yet with quick and quiet precision was able to take enemies out. Age Fifteen Gender Female Sexual Orientation Straight
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
Occupation Genin Personality From a very young age Koharu has been quiet, she really only speaks if she is asked a question and would much rather keep to herself than to socialize with others. Even though she is treated with a great amount of respect is told to be more active within her community she finds it hard, being in large crowds makes her nervous and uncomfortable. Many of her family members have told her she gets her mannerisms from the tailed-beast that lies within her and while she isn't sure what to believe she wants to think that she is simply herself. Though she wants to live up to her families expectations she feels that she will never be able to do that, even deemed as a "prodigy" she always feels like she falls short. Most people wouldn't realize it but while Koharu might seem smart and mature for her age in reality she just wants to be a child, though with the looming "Jinchuriki" tag over her head she feels like that will never be a reality for her. Family Name Hayashi Clan Family Bloodline trait N/A Village Iwagakure Background The Hayashi family, while not large or particularly well-known, has produced several formidable and strong ninja's for the stone village. One man in particular though rose through the ranks of ninja and proved himself, he was a kind yet tough man who always tried to do his best for everyone. This man would become the current Tsuchikage and Koharu's dear uncle. At birth Koharu had the five-tailed beast sealed within her, why she was chosen for such a thing has yet to be revealed. Unlike some villages who treat their Jinchuriki with fear Iwagakure treated Koharu with respect and even praised her, treating her like she would eventually become the protector of their village. In a way she could understand that, if she could learn to work with and control the tailed-beast within her than she would have massive amounts of chakra. If she could train hard enough, harder than anyone, then she could be the strongest shinobi within her village...however she didn't want it. Koharu hated feeling special, she hated how people treated her kindly simply because of her status. Her fellow students within the academy tried their hardest to suck up to her, to try and be her friend even though she made no attempt to be friends in return. She hated the life and duties that were projected onto her and the path that was being carved forcefully. Her Uncle, The Tsuchikage, seemed to understand how Koharu felt and often sent her little messages and notes to cheer her up. He would send a tiny bird that he named Hana to her bedroom at night, each tiny note held a story for her to read. While they may have been childish Koharu loved them and cherished them, keeping each and every one within a wooden box. Koharu knew that he was a busy man but he somehow still found time to write these stories out for her just to make her feel better. Eventually Koharu began to admire her uncle, he was kind and out-going yet was also firm in the things he said. He never back down from a decision and tried his best to please everyone. The murder of her dear uncle shook Koharu to her core though his death could be felt within everyone in Iwagakure. No longer would she see his kind smile or feel his gentle hugs. Never again would she receive the precious stories that got her through her academy days. A rage began to built up within the girl, a rage that scared her. It bubbled beneath the surface and she was scared that if something were to go wrong than she wouldn't be able to control it. Because of this feat Koharu became even more anti-social than she had already been, if she wasn't on a mission than she was holed up in her room with the tiny bird that used to carry the small papers that used to hold magnificent tales. The war didn't surprise her either, her village cried out for justice and revenge. ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
Equipment Typical Equipment a Genin would posses: Kunai, Shuriken, emergency medical supplies. Koharu's favorite weapon and how she mainly fights though is with the Kusarigama. While it is not something most of her family thought she would enjoy Koharu think it fits her well. Clothing Koharu's normal attire consists of a black crop top with a long-sleeved mesh/see through top underneath. A pair of simple black pants, knee-high shoes. Her trade-mark look however comes with the black trench coat that she sports with her family crest pressed into the back, it was a gift from her uncle. Personal Items Her personal messenger bird Hana. It used to be her uncles before he was murdered. Chakra Nature Earth Release Kekkei Genkai Earth Release ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
