Realism no Mononoke: An Urban Fantasy RP

• Name: Ibaraki Akari
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Race: Oni
• Appearance: She's definitely on the short side... and the completely flat side. Akari is one of those highschool students (technically) that everyone eagerly mistakes for a middle school student.
• Personality: Everyone expects an oni to be brash, confident (at least until defeated), and rowdy. At the very least you expect them to be loud or somehow aggressive. This is all completely untrue of Akari, who is happiest communicating with everyone via technology rather than in person, and would much like to be back in her room undisturbed. Even when you get past the extreme shyness by enough association or shared interests, she's still meek, worried about her own strength, and disturbingly skittish. With an extra irrational fear of samurai, which is definitely a bit odd for a girl who's worn traditional clothing every day of her life except the one week she went to school.
• Abilities: Akari is a shockingly powerful oni, for someone that has had no reason to exercise her natural abilities to any extent. Despite her unimposing physique, there are very few people who are going to be winning if it's simply a contest of pitting strength against one another. She's about as difficult to seriously injure; blunt force is mostly useless without some serious strength behind it, and simply cutting her often requires magical assistance or massive force. Plus, like her mother, if it's not cut off entirely it will doubtless heal fine, and losing limbs would be more of a (physical) inconvenience than life-threatening.
  Although she hasn't any practice at using it, Akari has inherited Ibaraki's affinity for Heat--not just heat in the direct sense, but heat as a driving force for changes. It's this affinity that led Ibaraki-douji so easily to shapeshifting, and allows for just reattaching missing body parts later.
• Skills: None of any particular use! She's actually rather clumsy, which is bad because of the strength that comes from being an oni. This also extends to a tendency to trip on things and fall down stairs, though that's more disorienting and worrying for people watching rather than actually dangerous to Akari.
• Equipment: "Mum said I should bring an iron club if something dangerous happens..." She also has a phone, "a little spending money" day to day--that is, enough money that anything of interest to a sixteen year old oni is fine--and a perfectly-accurate seeming ID that nevertheless claims Akari to be an adult, because oni and alcohol are inseparable.
• Brief Backstory: As her name attests, Akari is closely related to the Ibaraki-douji. Extremely closely; Ibaraki is her mother and Akari doesn't have the faintest clue who her father is. This, in and of itself, makes her the closest thing a rowdy bunch like oni can have to royalty--and also, with the benefit of being born into an extremely small family that has had a thousand years of practice avoiding danger and past banditry, used to the wealth that implies.
  Akari spent most of her childhood in a very traditional home, essentially secluded from the non-supernatural world, and told all the supernatural stories one might expect. Of course, the viewpoint was skewed--the role of hero and villain constantly inverted, with the samurai and exorcists vilified for going after oni that were only acting according to their natural desires and compulsions. Given the obvious problems that a supernaturally strong child with some innate drive to prey on humanity could fall into, this also meant a distinct lack of school attendance.
  They moved to a more modern house, one actually positioned conveniently for school, when it was time for Akari to start middle school. After attending for a few days, she just... stopped, the ease with which she had accidentally hurt someone in sports and the pressure of pretending to be human--on top of her own limited experience with so many people--just overwhelming the young oni. Although she's somewhat kept up with the schoolwork, a large amount of Akari's time has instead found itself devoted to popular entertainment--light novels, anime, and so on.
  Ibaraki is hardly someone one would expect to be an experienced parent... or skilled at addressing this in a manner more appropriate than "fight it out", which would hardly help in this situation, so she's been trying to find someone that might help... or at least get Akari to socialise more.

Oof, hope you're feeling better.

Tyaethe Radistirin

"Well, it's a little annoying that the dress is ruined," Tyaethe answered, continuing to look down at the clothing damage before shrugging and looking back towards Jarde. What sort of question was that, anyway? Of course she was alright; crossbow bolts puncturing lungs was more irritating to her than actually problematic. At least in isolation, being repeatedly riddled with shots would be a different matter. "Why would a single shot be a problem?"

The white-haired knight continued to look in Jarde's direction for a second, before the obvious explanation became apparent. She hadn't thought it possible but if children's tales had changed over the past few decades, then maybe... "Vampires are pretty hard to kill."

Corinne and Liliane

Liliane's sigh at the introduction was quite audible. Not that she expected that Corinne would ever be keeping their relationship a secret for more than a few minutes if given the opportunity, but could she at least prioritise her introductions? "Liliane de Tiffauges, Seven of Swords and knife fighter. My idiot wife here is a 2 of Wands, but..."

Corinne's pout was quite amusing, though from the way she had shuffled over to take the third deck and was flicking through the cards she had no interest in objecting. The pout was inevitably replaced with a frown of concentration and noticeably twitching ears and a rather bright expression. From that and the wagging tail... well, she had a good hand; the Hundi mage was completely lacking in guile.

"Oui, my rank ees low but my power ees quite dangerous. Lili keeps me safe~"

And of course, she was leading with an over-enthusiastic bid. Looked like it would be her against Shir and Liliane.

Tyaethe Radistirin

Tyaethe seemed rather distracted--or possibly bored--now that the danger was over, giving the nem the occasional curious look but otherwise having her attention drift over to the vacated food. After all, even the nobility wasn't inclined towards completely ignoring assassination attempts...

Or maybe the process of healing was simply rather uncomfortable when it involved pushing a crossbow bolt out of your chest. Sure enough, the shot found itself falling onto the floor with a quiet rattle, the vampire poking in irritation at the bloodstained hole in her dress. At least she hadn't brought a scarf along, ruining those was never any fun...

2) Disappearances-
Ifrari and Rex (?)

3) Relic Hunting-
Leon, Maribel, Jane, Sieglinde, Tristram, Cassia, and Finn?

@Lunarlord34 Since I once made a half-elf half-giant... half-human is more expected because that's the main race around, but I don't think anything has changed since then.

Yeah, how can we not look? D:
