^{City K - Razor's Character}

@Cherrywitch

While the Pumpkin Witch didn't seem to have any care for his personal space, Razor didn't seem like he was bothered either. If anything, he was fine with it. She had begun inspecting his body, checking everything with mild interest. He just stood there as she did. He was pretty sure that Ayu would have retaliated if she was being inspected like this. Then again, Ayu would rarely leave their master's side considering that she was very loyal and didn't want to learn more from the world. "A master puppeteer. A ventriloquist. The audience should never know whether it is real or not." Erika repeated that like a mantra most of the time when she was asked why she was creating something so life-like.

"Animation you mean?" He asked when the Pumpkin Witch mentioned her own master. Considering that the broom had its own sentience, then he could guess as much. He was about to reply when he had a transmission. He held out one finger silently asking for a moment. "Yes master?"

"We're ending this fight. I need you to distract Gastro as much as possible... wherever the hell you are."

Razor smirked. "Got it." He then turned back at Pumpkin Witch. "I gotta dash. If you wanna follow, come on. If not, eh." He then turned around and then started off with a jog before dashing down towards where the Gastro was. He was faster than any normal human being but not to the point where he could get in par with people like, say, Flash Forward.

Erika looked at Ayu. "I called in Razor. Charge that thing up and Razor will distract him." Ayu nodded and then her left arm turned back to an arm and then the right arm turned into an anti-material rifle. It began charging up, as the light blue rings started to glow.

Razor soon appeared, his arms now blades. He winked at Erika who nodded at him and he started to head towards Gastro as he avoided his breath attack. Getting up close and personal should be easy. He then planned an uppercut, letting the blade hopefully harm Gastro's stomach. However, whether that was blocked or not, his metallic blades from his shoulderblades would appear and then strike at Gastro's face, hopefully hitting his eyes to blind the guy.

Daemons Rising

Tooru Amisaki

Tooru watched as some others began to wake up and then the two started bickering once the girl from earlier broke the bed frame. "Gotcha. I'd rather not really." She told the cat girl when she ordered that no one should do anything extraordinary. Ugh, now they really were talking superpowers. She really wants to get this over with. No one seems to know about what was happening though and it didn't seem they were letting anyone go anytime soon.

That was when the cat girl said something about Daemons and Yin shard users. Tooru sat down on the side of the bed, her legs dangling and her feet touched the ground. "You guys are right. We are still ordinary civilians. Now can I go? I think my mother's worried sick about me." She pointed out. As much as she'd like to know what she was doing here and what might be happening with her body right now, it would seem like she's more worried about other people worrying about her.

Hikari Kyushetsu

"Is it time already?"

Name:
Hikari Kyushetsu

Nickname:
Beastmaster

Gender:
Male

Age:
25

Sexuality:
Asexual

In Depth Appearance:
Hikari stands at a rather average height of 5'7". He has a well built body frame, and a lean type of body. He has black hair and his eyes shine a purple to violet hue. However, wrapped around his face are bandages which he needs to cover up quite a large amount of scars. Those without bandage are the parts that the claws never touched. He would, most of the time, have a kitsune mask with him which he tends to wear when he's out and about causing mass chaos. He would often be seen in a hooded jacket, pants and combat boots.

Role:
Daemon

Rank:
Three stars - possibly more

Alignment:
Neutral - but leans very close to Chaos

Element:
Beast Soul - He is, in a sense, able to insert one soul of an animal or monster into their own bodies and use their physical prowess or special powers. For example: Hikari would call upon the soul of a spider. He would be able to stick to walls and create webs and such. He can even push it to the extent where he would have a defining physical trait like claws and fangs or even a tail. A monster is relatively harder to incorporate into his system without him going wild - however, he has shown capabilities of incorporating a kitsune and using some of their powers. It is unknown where the limit is.

Personality:
Hikari is a person who has close to no emotions. He does not feel fear, anger, happiness, or anything really. That's why he can kill so easily without remorse, may it be a child, the elderly or even his own family member. Though he kills because he wants to get something out of it, because he wants to actually feel something. He chose murder in particular because people keep saying that people feel bad, disgusted, happy and a lot of other emotions when they see a dead body or even kill a person. However, he hasn't really felt anything aside from the wetness of the blood. When he got hold of the 'Yang' crystal, it simply amplified his will to find out if he can truly feel anything. Maybe causing mass destruction would at least make him happy that he accomplished something.

However, this does not entail that Hikari doesn't help anyone. He does, when he feels up for it. Maybe he would feel a sense of happiness from helping someone after all. However, these incidents are few in between. He would be more likely to kill than to help. He is quite an expert in covering his tracks though. Given that he is usually silent and his presence isn't really all that big, it is easy to slip past people every now and then.

Has been killing even before obtaining his Yang crystal

Edenridge (Slice of Life with a Twist - Always Accepting)

Vincent Westerian / Mike Averstin

Age:

Place of Origin:
Philippines - moved to Wales, UK soon after their birth

Relationship Status: Single - Not interested as of now

Ashley Westerian
"My beloved twin sister. We get along well and agree with each other most of the time. Though nowadays, we don't talk to each other too much because we're too busy with our own lives and such. We do get together once in a while. When we argue though, people say it's like World War 3. I personally think it's because of her."

Gertrude Maillard
"Gertrude? Ah yes, Gert. We haven't kept in contact really. After the shooting of Edenridge, I kind of never talked to her again. I have practiced lines with her before but nothing out of the ordinary. Ash knows her better."

Richard Harrison
"Ricky's a person who I spent time with during my teenage days. We bonded over the fact that we were both just victims of circumstance - that we didn't really want to act in front of a camera but ended up doing it because we were dragged to do it. Though I can say that I didn't regret my decision. Anyhow, we lost contact after I left the country in favor of the Philippines."

Emilia Carter
"Emilia. One of the few people I actually kept in contact with all these years. She was close to Ash and then when I alerted her that I was leaving the country, we exchanged e-mails and I went on my merry way. We kept in contact through there and then when the ever popular Facebook rose, we still kept in contact through that social media. When her career was stalled, she visited the Philippines and I was more than happy to show her around. We reconnected after that. Quite an interesting character, that woman is."

Occupation:
Veterinarian

Biography:
He was born to a Filipino mother and an English father, and was also born with a twin sister. After they were born, the family packed up and then flew to the UK to live most of their young lives. It was quite obvious that he acquired his mother's personality and love for his original motherland. He would often hang out with his mother to learn more about the Philippines and its culture. It is also the reason why he's very fluent in Filipino whereas his sister is mildly struggling with it. He held close to no interest in acting, to be honest. He only helped out with his sister when she wanted to practice but he was more insistent on becoming a veterinarian more than anything because of his love for animals.

However, one day, they decided to make a trip to LA for vacation. That was when they saw a flyer, the audition for Edenridge High. Because of Ashley's insistence to join, he was forced to audition along with her. The two trained alongside each other, aiming for the sibling roles in the show - Mike and Louis Averstin. This was Vince's first audition and he was only guided by Ashley and some tips from the internet. However, his acting was quite excellent and he did get the role of Mike Averstin.

He enjoyed the filming of Edenridge High but he knew that it wasn't the calling for him. While others went on to continue become actors, he was part of the group that left Edenridge High as some sort of award. He continued college and then became a veterinarian soon after. He built a clinic in the Philippines and his mother soon moved in with him, after realizing how much she missed the Philippines no matter how many times better UK was. His family would often get together when there was a holiday. It was either he closed up shop and flew to Wales or Ashley and their father would fly to the Philippines. It usually alternates between the two.

One day, he received an e-mail about the revival and how they're contacting all the actors. He originally planned on just deleting the e-mail but a call from Ashley made him change his mind. She convinced him to coming back with her as the Averstin siblings will never be the same without the other and she'd rather not play a role and the script haphazardly saying that Mike died or something. So sending their mother towards their father's way and then flying to Boston, he met up wit Ashley again. Okay then, time to see how Mike was doing right?

Louis Averstin
"My popular older sister. She's quite a handful, even up to now. Ten years and she still hasn't changed all that much. Though we do talk a lot more now and she's opening up. But I don't think all those years would just be erased from our minds just as easily. She's trying hard to mend our broken relationship. I don't think much of it now.

Trish Palmer
"Trish is a pretty cool person. One of the few I talked to in my high school days. I would sometimes hang out with her circle but I don't do... whatever they're doing. I guess I can call her a 'friend'."

Derek O'Leary
"Who? Oh, the football player. He used to bully me, stopped after a while. I don't know why. Then at our final year, he started trying to defend me from my sister but he wasn't exactly helping all that much. I don't remember too much about him."

Kaitlin O'Connor
"We're good friends."

Long Version

"Kaitlin and I actually had a very rocky start. She was the type of person who could impress anyone. She actually started to hit one me until I told her I wasn't interested and she kept away after that. I've observed her actions since then, finding what she did very odd. Turns out, her personality is flexible. She could impress anyone. A natural skill. Then the day of the shooting arrived, I got shot, she got shot - we ended up in the hospital. While I was undergoing surgery, and miraculously got out of it alive and well (even I don't understand how that happened), she was in there too. Well, one thing led to another and we reconciled. Without her trying to impress anyone, she's actually a decent girl. I found out why she had been there in the first place - not because of her injuries, that was minor, it was because she had a baby. According to the doctors, she went into an early labor and they tried to keep the baby from coming out. I didn't understand half of what they were saying at that time, but now I do. Anyway, when she gave birth to the kid, she wasn't very stable. I tried to help as best as I could, however and whenever I can. Given that I get bouts of depression every now and then, I thought the help wouldn't be welcomed. Apparently it was.

I would swing by her house to visit her and the child whenever I can. I was actually mistaken as his father by Kaitlin's parents at one point but that was quickly cleared after some explanation. They were pretty happy to have a friend visit Kaitlin at her time of distress. Oh, I knew all about that. So basically, I kind of was the present male figure (besides Kaitlin's father that is) in Nathan's life and he even began calling me his 'uncle'. I let that one slide considering that it was understandable for the kid to think I was his uncle considering my presence in his life. I grew fond of Nathan and started bringing him short stories I would make up when I have bouts of inspirations and he would enjoy reading it. With Kaitlin being an English teacher, he began to be quite a bookworm.

Now the question has been posed to me by her parents: Would I consider going out with Kaitlin given how well we get along, know each other and how Nathan considers me like an uncle? The answer: Probably not. Neither of us have given interest and I don't think I'm going for her any time soon. But who knows, just as the characters of my stories are, we are unpredictable. I'll leave that to our future."

Occupation:
Writer

Biography:
Mike Averstin never led a good life. Being the younger brother of the ever so talented Louis Averstin, a lot was expected from him. Unfortunately enough, he didn't have much of his sister's talent. He wasn't athletic and his grades were average. He became a laughing stock. By the age that he got into Edenridge, he practically disappeared and the spotlight always shone on Louis. In between these times, he started writing stories, letting his imaginative mind go wild. Because his parents never looked at him, they never minded him doing anything. He was only fed, clothed and was given education. He never minded anymore.

However, it seems like his sister had other plans. She would often treat him like garbage. When he approached her for help, she'd hiss at him and tell him to leave. Most people would link the two being related but Louis told them that he was only an adopted child even though it wasn't true. She didn't want anything to do with him. Because of that, he was driven to depression. To be honest, he didn't really need anything. He accepted the fact that his sister was way better than him. Deep inside of him, even if his parents didn't accept him, even if his schoolmates and teachers didn't accept him, he held on to that single hope that at least Louis wouldn't tease him. But that was wrong.

He began taking anti-depression pills and would often cry himself to sleep. In the meantime, he kept on pumping out story after story in the internet. The internet was his life. Only a few judged him there and he made good internet friends. It was the only thing that kept him away from suicide. At the day of the shooting, Mike had been worried for his sister, despite how she treats him, and ran out to find her. It was a chance encounter. His way led straight to the shooter and needless to say, he was shot.

The season ended with him being on the hospital bed with only a laptop by his side. It was open to the viewers whether or not they would think that someone actually visited him or if no one did. Once he finished high school, he shut himself inside his room and refused to go to college. His parents didn't care - less money to spend on a boy who had no talent right?

A year later, he was scouted by a publisher and ever since then, he had began rising through the ranks of popular writers. People asked, where did this boy, Mike Averstin, come from? Only few remember him as a classmate, but most know him as Louis's brother. This was the time he truly shone and people finally saw that the boy actually had talent. He finally was able to reach his sister's level. Louis approached him one day, asking for forgiveness for the past. She is still making it up to him up to now.

Relationships with others

Vincent Westerian
"Well, he's my twin brother. What more could I say? I'll never say it but I don't think I would've made it to what I am now without him and his support and stuff. Though he's still pretty stupid at times and he's too logical for his own good. That's why I'm pretty worried on how he's doing! He's taking care of mother too. Ugh, sorry I ranted there...

Gertrude Maillard
"Ooh! Gert! I really admire her for going through actual studies for film making and stuff. I kept in contact with her for all these years to ask her for advices. I heard she's on a rocky relationship with her husband though, wonder how that will turn out. I'm looking forward to seeing her again! Heh, I don't think Louis would though."

Richard Harrison
"Ah Ricky. I knew his family beforehand, since I researched into the film industry and all. I tend to research into those kinds of things after all. Now Ricky, I thought he was following in his family's footsteps, but it turns out that he was just as unwilling as Vince! Now imagine my surprise when I heard that. Well, after Edenridge, I saw him as a scriptwriter for some of the shows or movies that I star in."

Emilia Carter
"Emmy! We hit it off soon after we started interacting with each other. She became a really good friend too. After Edenridge, we stuck with each other since we both decided to stay in the acting business. We often star in the same shows or movies, go to press conferences together and such. However, when there was a certain bump in her career (mine wasn't exactly smooth sailing but it was much more stable than hers), she decided to pack it up and leave for Florida. I tried to convince her not to go, but she wanted to do it so I learned to let go. She is such a sweetheart though! She often goes to watch movies or shows that I star in and then often texts me for encouragement! I'm definitely going to buy her new book and support her as much as I can!"

Occupation:
Actress

Biography:
She was born alongside Vincent to a Filipino mother and an English father. Soon after they were born, they packed up and left for Wales, UK. Unlike her brother, she inherited her father's personality. She was confident and had high dreams. She was the one who was most attuned to acting. Being a father's kid, she tended to be loud and proud. But she knew when she needs to step it down. She loved the UK, but also loved the Philippines, just not as much. Whereas her brother is fluent in the Filipino language, she was fluent with English. Ever since she was a child, she always asked her parents to let her into auditions and the like. She often practiced with Vince so that she could get her acting straight.

When they flew to LA, a big opportunity opened up for her. There were auditions for a show called Edenridge High. After convincing her parents to let her audition and her brother to audition with her, she was set. She practiced tirelessly with Vince to get the role of Louis Averstin, older sister of Mike Averstin. And when she auditioned, she blew away the judges and gave her the role. When she heard that her brother got in as well, she was ecstatic.

Edenridge High was just the start for her. Alongside her brother, she enjoyed the five years of filming until it eventually crashed just like all series. She wasn't happy with it, since it marked the first boom in her career, but she learned to leave it behind and just look at it with glee. After that, she hopped from show to show and her talent just grew from there. She never grew tired of the limelight, but she frequently took breaks from the job as she had to take care of her sick father and also travel to the Philippines to visit her mother and her brother. She was one of those actresses that you would remember from one movie but not really idolize too much.

When she was given the chance to go back to the show that started it all, she agreed almost immediately. She roped her brother in once more and then they set off to Boston. She was quite excited to know how the other actors and actresses were doing and how much Louis has changed over the ten years of their disappearance.

Mike Averstin
"He is my little brother who I once thought was a mistake. I thought once that I couldn't possibly be related to a reject like him. But when he started to shut us out, that was when I started to realize that he was actually an important person in my life. I'm trying to make it up to him now... but... he's never been too responsive."

Trish Palmer
"Where do I start? Probably with the fact that we never got along in the entirety of our lives. I haven't done anything to her but she insists on pestering and pranking me! She even goes out of her way to do things that would embarrass me. I still have no idea why she's doing that and I don't think we'd get along any time soon..."

Derek O'Leary
"Derek, as in the football guy? Yeah, I know him but we avoid each other most of the time. He didn't want anything to do with me and that's fine with me, given that I find him odd. In the first years, he bullied Mike, my brother, and I didn't really care much for it. Then he stopped. Then he started standing up to him in our final year. I don't think I've seen anyone change as fast as Derek. Anyhow, I wasn't involved with him much and I only remember him because he was hailed as the most popular guy in our Junior years (much to his dismay) and one of our better football players."

Kaitlin O'Connor
"Kaitlin was good company for short amounts of time. I've talked with her at some times and she's fun to be with. I've noticed her changes in personality when I stumble upon her with another group but didn't care much for it. I am quite disappointed at how she was handling herself with boys though, as she seemed to jump from one guy to the next and doing God knows what. She's also hated by some girls as being the 'boyfriend stealer'. I don't care much for it though and she was still good company. We left each other on neutral terms, so I think that's good. No extremely bad happenings between us but no extremely good ones either. I do wonder how she's doing nowadays."

Occupation:
Pediatrician

Biography:
Louis was the older sister of the not so talented Mike Averstin. She always took the spotlight from him. She had the best grades, the good looks and the athletic capabilities. She was just the better child and so she was raised that way. She was raised with the mentality that she was better than her brother and that he didn't matter. Her natural skill at almost everything made her pretty famous within the student body and the faculty. She was a favorite student and almost everyone loved her. However, every popular kid has their enemies. She got into fights with other girls and stuff.

That was mostly the reason why she kept on rejecting Mike. It was because she didn't want him to be seen hanging around her lest she suffer the consequences of getting her position overtaken. He was a failure after all right? He would just be a liability to her life. In all of this time, she never realized just how much her own brother was going through. She was completely oblivious because she was taught to not look at him anymore. They were just letting him live out of obligation and Louis thought that that was perfectly fine. The shooting happened while Louis was hanging out with some of her friends. She rushed out and then hid inside one of the rooms. It hadn't exactly been a scarring experience for her. The season ended with her refusing to visit her brother.

They graduated and he finally disappeared from her life. Two years later, she actually started to miss the guy. He rarely came out of his room and when he did, he didn't actually speak to anyone. She didn't care yet. She finished medical school and then went off to make her own clinic. Before Mike had his opportunity open up, she began talking to him. She began apologizing for everything she has done, after realizing why her brother had been placed in a hospital in the first place. She realized that she was very bad to him and that she was really sorry for that. Mike always just gave her a shrug and said that he didn't care and then would promptly push her out of the room and close the door on her face. She hasn't given up on building back the broken relationship they had. Or well, building it, would be the right term.

Tooru Amisaki

Tooru cursed in Japanese as she opened her eyes, light overwhelming her sight. She could hear a girl's voice and then someone knocked on her head. "I'm awake, I'm awake." She muttered. Her vision finally cleared and she saw the pink haired girl and the other boy. And she was on a hospital bed. What the hell is this place? She was just... rescuing... someone, right? Isn't that girl the one she wanted to rescue from that guy who was turning purple?

Then she heard another voice. Tooru rolled her head towards the voice and saw that the girl crushed the railing of the bed. Okay, that is weird. And then she went off to babble about being a superhero or something. Tooru held her head. Ah, that hurt. She sat up and then surveyed her surroundings. Where was she exactly?

"I don't know about super heroes or stuff. But I want to know where I am, what I am doing here and when I am getting out." She didn't know how many days she was out. Maybe her mother was worried sick already!

Illusionist

Name: Tooru Amisaki
Nickname: To-chan
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Sexuality: Heterodemisexual
Role: Niflheim
Rank: B
Alignment: Neutral
Element: Illusion

Personality: Tooru is often misunderstood with being cocky but she's actually just confident in her skills. When she takes pride in something, she usually has something to back it up with - experience or talent. Given this, her success as a teen idol is understandable. She enjoyed the spotlight as she had nothing better to do back then, but now she really wants to settle down, finish college and get onto with her life. However, she is helpful to a fault. She has this impulse to protect or help a person in trouble and this either leads her to be thanked or in huge trouble.

History: Tooru was born to a loving mother and father. She led a normal for a while. She had friends, she played frequently and she had good grades. Her parents were earning well-enough that they were able to take her to places she would highly enjoy. She really did enjoy her young life. However, when she turned 13, her parents got into a car accident. His father died instantly and her mother fell into a coma. She burned through all of the money just to assure that her mother can stay in the hospital but then she had nothing else to pay. That was when someone approached her and she became a teen idol. Her popularity skyrocketed thanks to her skill in singing and dancing and not to mention, pretty good looks.

When she was 15, her mother woke up from her coma and then proceeded on to their normal lives. Right around this time, a group has taken an interest in her. Her career ended when she was 17 as she wanted to move on. She had enough money and her mother was working again. She then continued school normally. Then she received a scholarship from a school in New York. She jumped at the chance to study there.

She didn't think of anything of it. She should have.

Other: She's a good singer and dancer.
