4 months into this hole 'being a responsible adult thing' and I've come to a conclusion: It sucks and I want to go back to the days where I didn't have to plan out my game time.

    Isabelle is rather tall for her age, ranging somewhere between 5'8 and 5'10(she hasn't taken the time to check recently), with a frizzy cascade of dark brown hair that she often styles so it billows down over the left side of her face. Her warm chocolate brown eyes compliment the dark caramel-like coloration of her skin tone, echoing much of her mother's appearance, though you could see a bit of her father in the angular nature of her face and the slight almond shape to her eyes. As far as body structure goes, Isabelle is well built due to both a constant an somewhat intensive training regimine and a general love for exercise and sports. She is a bit on the leaner side, however, due to the energy demands of her quirk leaving little room for much excesses of fat, making her muscles look fairly defined for her age. This side effect has also led to her having a rather small bust that, while rather helpful in combat situation, often made her the target of no small degree of jokes from some of her crueler female peers, along with her above average height.

    When it comes to her choice of clothes, it often depends on the situation she is preparing for. When it comes to more casual affairs, such as going for a walk around the city or laying about the house, she often wears plain, loose-fitting clothes in an attempt to stand out as little as possible, as well as a distinct preference for comfort over any sense of style and fashion. If she's prepping for any kind of exercising, training, or intense activity, then she switches up to tight, unrestrictive athletic-wear such as shorts, tank-tops, and the like, with her hero training wear having an emphasis as showing as much skin as decently possible so that she can use her quirk without risking the destruction of her outfit. She also makes an effort to tie her hair behind her head, so as to keep it out of her face and enable her an unhindered field of vision.

    Quirk: Dual Anima
    Isabelle's quirk is one of the stranger ones in that it's not simply an ability to her, nor just an odd biological that she has grown to live with. Her quirk also constitutes as two of her closest, most loyal friends and confidants, allies that have been by her side since the very beginning of her life on earth. With Dual Anima, Isabelle is able to summon two sentient beings from an ever shifting tattoo-like tapestry of red and black that dances upon her skin, each with it's own distinct style and personality to them that also reflects a bit of Isabelle's own nature.

    Akira stands for Isabelle's more passionate and headstrong side, having a short temper that can be easy to ignite and little patients for fools. Akira's base form, similar in shape to a Panther but with much more pronounced and dangerous looking claws and fangs, is composed of a bright crimson energy that seemed to glow with such intensity, almost as if it could burn you with a mere touch. Alas, while Akira bears no innate powers over fire, she could very well be a representation of it's destructive power and ability to quickly spread devastation all around, as speed and power are the traits that Akira prizes the most about herself. With a quick and savage barrage of rending claws that was often followed by an evasive leap away makes her great for hit and run tactics to harrass and slowly weaken a foe.

    Isabelle's other ally is Noir, a gentle soul the represents Isabelle's determination and strong will to become her own hero. As his name would suggest, Noir is made entirely out of a strange black mist-like energy. While Akira is swift and vicious, Noir is imposing and stoic, the bulwark that helps to defend Isabelle from danger and provide much needed support in her weaker moments. While his form bears a greater appearance to a burly scaled reptile, to say that he is cold-blooded would be a very inaccurate observation. While his stoic and unbending personality is an example of her strong sense of will externalized, with his skill lying in not only withstanding punishment but giving it back twice as strong, he also tends to be in touch with the girl's more tender and compassionate side, leading him to be the more friendly of her beasts.

    Both Akira and Noir have very unstable forms, which lead them to waste a good amount the energy that they gain from Isabelle, which causes them to emit an uncomfertable amount of heat when manifested, and is one of the main reasons why she is unable to often hold their full manifestations for very long. Isabelle has been working on increasing the efficiency of her manifestations and continues to do so, as not only will it increase the amount of time she can manifest her Anima, but it will also increase their overall strength and durability.

    In combat, Akira and Noir assist Isabelle in two ways. First, she can choose to only manifest parts of them instead of their full bodies, with the proportions of said parts being very changeable due to them being completely made out of energy. This offers her a great deal of enhanced mobility as she's able to move about the battlefield in a variety of ways with their assistance. They also help to diversify her CQC by adding in extra attacks of their own in time with her own attacks, as well as offering up a solid defense as well. While far from unbreakable, this combo makes for a very versatile and hard to predict quirk that keeps her foes guessing.

    The other way that her loyal companions help her in a fight is that they can both separately manifest in their full base form outside of her body, adding another dimension to their ability to combo off each others capabilities, greatly increasing their effective combat ability. You see, unlike some other quirks, Isabelle's quirk comes with a severe drain on her body's energy reserves. As such, she can't simply use them willy nilly as others do, lest she burn herself out. In a normal fight, her reserves can last her, at her current level, anywhere from 10-15 minutes if she simply uses base manifestations, or half that if she fully manifests either one(or both) of her companions to fight by her side. This makes it so that she needs to focus on quickly taking down her foes, as a long and drawn out confrontation will only ever work against, which also makes her bad in situations where she has to face multiple foes or those with quirks that can easily stall her out.

    Another way that full manifestation is dangerous for Isabelle is that in order for Akira/Noir to deform, she needs to touch them. If someone where to trap one or both of them while fully manifested, then it'd simple be a waiting game till she passes out from exhaustion to claim victory. Not only that, but Akira and Noir do not deform even when she looses consciousness, nor do they cease in draining her energy, so if they aren't allowed back to her side soon after she passes out, then her body would soon start to rapidly self-cannibalize itself in order to continue providing energy for, leading to severe internal damages and even death.

    Isabelle has spent her entire life training with her Father, a hero known simply as Sidestep by the public, in how to be a hero as it had been her goal ever since she was little. However, while it would be wrong to say she had been 'slacking' before, an event that took place 2 years prior added the necessary motivation for her to start taking her dream much more seriously and coming at it with everything she could, and then some more after that. As a result, she is a adept combatant for her age, with a style that focuses on redirecting her opponents attacks in order to create openings for Akira and/or Noir to attack from an unpredictable direction.

    Aside from fighting, she's a well-rounded athlete, having played a little bit of everything, though she finds her greatest joy outside of being a hero is that of scoring a winning shot in a heated game of basketball. She's also a bit of an avid outdoorsy-type, a trait she gets from her mother, always eager to go out and rough it in the wilderness. In her more quiet moments, however, she tends to be a reader of fiction, preferring things set in more realistic settings, but also being a bit of a sucker for romance stories, even the cheesy ones.

    Her skills in academics are well above average, though this is more due to her taking to her school work with the same dogged sense of determination and drive as she does her father's training sessions then any natural academic talent, though she does struggle a bit in understanding higher level math. She also has an interest in Zoology, both for it's benefits to her quirk and her own love and interest in animals.

    I have quite a few goals with Isabelle, none of them being that much more important than the other, i feel, as each one helps not only build her up in my mind, but also motivates me to further working on her, wanting to discover more and more about her through my writings of her. One such goal is getting more in touch with my own racial identity since I realized that I just don't make that many characters of color, not just because I don't feel like it or that trying to find faceclaims for black characters in anime rps that actually look black is by and large an infuriating task(though that is part of it) but because I'm kind of hung up on my own distance from my black heritage and kind of fear it. As such, with Isabelle and a few other characters, I'm hoping to change that a bit. That doesn't mean I'll make a focus on her 'black' traits, as that's not the main point or drive of her character, just one of the facets that make her what she is and not a really major one either, but I feel it helps me find a better mind state.

    Next is the story I want to tell with Isabelle. At first, I wished to have her discover the darker, grittier side of American Heroism, as well as current heroism in general, and have her be cynical and cold to it all. However, now I'm looking instead to have her story being one of constant struggle against one's own weaknesses in order to improve and become more complete individuals, as well as dealing with the aftermath of losing a friend to their pain and despair when you had the chance, but not the strength, to help them. For Isabelle, her weakness isn't in her combat skills, which are in fact her crutch in this scenario, but in her ability to socialize with others and properly convey her feelings and emotions. While not currently aware of this struggle, having grown to see these things as distractions from her ultimate goal of strength(and beyond that strength, the desire to find and save her friend from the darkness he's found himself in), Issabelle needs to come to learn that even she needs to accept and let other people in, and that before she can help anyone with their problems, she needs to learn to help herself.

    Another thing I want to explore with Isabelle is having a poor self-body image, as well as general anxiety of sorts, as Isabelle was often bullied by girls in school for being too tomboy-ish, too tall, and when she grew up, for having a small chest, for not dressing up, and for simply being different then what others expected her to be. Despite having two supportive parents, Isabelle has grown to be very self-conscious of herself, and copes with it by trying to hide herself from the world and sink into the background, which inly served to make for a bigger target by those around her.

    Her fears and paranoia, of being strangely different, of being ugly, and having little self worth, are things she often keeps locked up inside of her, and while at first it was hidden behind a shy, easily cowed facade, now she only seems to stare at everyone with a distance, uninterested glare, a sign of how much the pain of a close friend's betrayal has made it so she refuses to connect with others. A frigid ice queen, she is actually terrified by the fact that she's so far from home, staying with her aunt in a strange land where she now can't help but feel as if she stands out a bit. It's as if all of her fears have been given life, and whether or not it's true or not, she feels the eyes of everyone always on her, always watching, always waiting for her to show them a single shred of weakness to tear into.
@GreyGrey, your kink is showing.
@Demon Shinobi pretty good, aside from the out of nowhere September heatwave that just hit my area. Screw you, Summer.
Hmmmm. . . @Jay Kalton@Lemons Would having Laz intervene to try and placate things be all right? I'm not sure how close everyone is to each otjer, nut i also kinda wanna have him do somethong, ya know?
@Ebil BunnyPossibly. The only issue is getting past her outer persona, though the fact that they're both from America and fairly new arrivals might help alleviate that a tad. Just a tad tho. The way I'm planning to play Isabelle is someone who comes off as cold and distant, though not rude.
@Inkarnate@DruSM157
Took me a week, but I finally got a character down. I usually say something about how much I'm looking forward to the rp and how I can't wait ti join y'all, but if you'll excuse me, I need to get my ass to bed.


@InkarnateStoryis interesting and odd, but recommending it is hard due to the fact that i feel it lacks heavily in there being any real and lasting character progression, at least from the main character.
@Demon Shinobi@Dblade26@LeavesI never really watched the shoe, but I read KHR all the way to the end and found it really enjoyable till the end because nothing really seemed to change by the end of the series.
@PirouetteYo Pir, how goes?
