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. She's also inherited the ability--or some would call it a mystic scar--common to all of the famous oni's relatives: Lost Arm. So significant was the injury that, even now, her entire extended bloodline has the ability to summon a single phantom arm.
  You know, if two arms isn't enough for hitting things.
• 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.

Heyo.

So, I guess people would rather just skip to the next thing?

Abigail

"You can call me Abigail," the other girl said, looking northwards before crouching and talking to the dog. Not that Hisako would have all that much luck in following what was being said, with her already demonstrably poor grasp of English. Whatever it was she said, however, was clear enough to the furry creature: it cut off towards the side, going round to come at the shade, whatever it was, from its north.

Taking off in that direction, Abigail held her sword and explained the plan about as tersely as could be managed: "Either we get the shade from behind or it comes to us."

Tyaethe Radistirin

Tyaethe had not been in a positive mood on their return, to put it mildly. Although she had stopped short of barricading herself away for the rest of the day, the vampire had still been uncharacteristically hard to find until the next morning, seemingly having only taken as her cue to emerge the idea of needing to feed. A thought that was weighing heavily on her mind, at the moment.

Seeing the small figure seated in a shaded windowed alcove, looking out over the courtyard and any training therein, was hardly an unusual sight around Candaeln. Often, Tyaethe only seemed half-present, regularly dozing off and offering minimal input if she saw the other knights later. Today, however, her eyes were focused entirely on those outside. Oh, and she was carrying the sword around; that was a pretty unusual change.

Abigail

"Someone said a shade escaped into this park. As its destruction has yet to be confirmed, I imagine that it must still be in here; there have been no other assaults in the area since," Abigail explained, gesturing for the small girl to follow her and leading the way into the park. The transformed dog had her head down as well, searching for a scent of something... negative? Hard to say; it wasn't as if Abigail herself could smell shades or what that might possible by compared to. "I hope it stayed away from the pond; I lack the attacks to effectively engage on the water. What about yourself, miss...?"

Or a secondary question, who thinks they could do with some unexpected training? >:D

Is there anyone that wants Tyaethe for something? xD

Ashte

"... maybe I should get to know the wilds a bit more. If every forest spirit is going to be so cute... ah, I can give you lots of help, Nakri~" Ashte said, stepping closer and closer. No doubt the help currently on the goddess's mind was quite different from whatever the forest spirit was actually after, or the help offered by Trineon.

Not that she had any reason to withhold their aid, it was hardly like fighting through an angry forest in their current state would be terribly effective. But how could she focus on that, with such an exciting-looking body to take interest in?

Okay, right. I'll get something up by the weekend.
