Alignment:
Chaotic Good

Used to be a...lets call it a soldier. Then I found this place. Ten times more fun."
Affiliation:
TBD

"Seriously, are you blind?"
Appearance:


Blond hair usually tied back into a ponytail and dull bluish-grey eyes are the things people would notice about her. Standing roughly at five foot seven, thanks to her rather athletic build she can come off as a bit intimidating to some people. Her snarky attitude doesn't help either. Usually, she wears a dull grey military vest stocked with all kinds of different ammunition and other things. Like her cigarettes, and a canteen filled with the good stuff. (That's alcohol.) Various first-aid supplies and other stuff that someone of her profession might need in a pinch.

Under it, she wears grey, military armor designed to be lightweight and able to stop a bullet if it had too. It covers only her vital areas on her chest, leaving her arms quite vulnerable. As for pants, she wears black military issue pants, modified of course to hold more equipment that is essential for surviving in the Crimson Sky. Insulated to be resistant to heat and cold. On her hands, she wears open-fingered gloves to help with gripping things. Wears steel-toed combat boots. Yeah, you do not want to get kicked with that.

"Me, eh? I like tacos, cheap ramen, and puttin' a bullet in some jackasses head. You wanna date or something? Buy me a shiny new gun and a bottle of vodka then we can talk."

Personality:
Violent, has a bit of an anger problem, but would help anyone in need if she can. She prefers solving things with her guns rather than peaceful solutions.

Kat, is usually pretty friendly despite her snarky attitude and somewhat hostile seeming behavior. A sarcastic jackass, some would describe her, anyone is fair game for her snark and insults. Even herself, if she does something stupid. This makes people kind of...well, they don't exactly dislike her, but she doesn't exactly have a lot of friends for this reason. Not that she really cares. All she needs is her shotgun and something to shoot at.

Despite the bit of shunning she receives from other people, she's not a bad person and doesn't think much of it. Mostly, she just doesn't really care much of for other people, since they don't really care much for her, though she will save a total stranger if she happens to be in the same general vicinity whether they like her or not. Still, she can't stand most people and would rather work on her own, or a well functioning team. Unfortunately, the latter is proving difficult to find.

"Grew up in London. Moved to Japan after leaving the Military. What? Yeah, I was out of a job at 26. I know, freakin' stupid, but hey, I was out of the military and needed a job. Da set me up in japan workin' security. Learning Japanese was the hardest thing. Rest was just eatin' cheap ramen and sushi. Biological father, by the way. Apparently, he's a big-shot business man in Japan. And he's from London. Well, whatever."

Background:
I'm going to tell you, her history is rather boring. Given up for adoption by her birth parents? Yeah, but she was adopted by a rather wealthy, kind and older family that were unable to have kids of their own. So of you're looking for a sob-story about being tossed around to one bad foster house to another, you're gonna have to look elsewhere.

Kat grew up in a relatively easy and comfortable life in London, thanks to her adoptive parents wealth. Of course, she's always had her attitude problem, but it was never really a major issue. In fact, you could say it was even worse when she was growing up. Wisdom comes with age and all that, or whatever you want to call it. After graduating high school, she joined the British Royal Marines at the age of 18 for a chance to see the world, and of course, put a bullet into someones head.

She quickly distinguished herself as having...quite the particular set of skills needed to get things done quickly, quietly and efficiently. Two years later, at the age of 20 she was selected for a spec-ops group that handled things...off the books, so to speak. An Elite team, designed to take care of problems that the normal military couldn't, or wouldn't handle. She worked there for five years...until she was 25. Why did she leave? Well, she got court-martialed and dishonorably discharged.

Why? Well, she dodges the question a bit if asked directly, but it was simply because she didn't agree with her superiors command to make sure there were no 'witnesses'. Now, if they were gonna probably shoot her or retaliate or something, she wouldn't have much of a problem putting a bullet in them...but a kid? That's a line she wouldn't cross.

Having previously met her biological father, he set her up working security at his company. So, she worked as security for him. Not exactly the most exciting of jobs, but it wasn't like she was a rocket scientist or something. Not to mention, she had grown rather bored of the military life. Relaxing and just eating cheap ramen and tacos every day while making sure nothing happened was actually pretty great for a time.

Until, she found her way into the Crimson Sky. She had no idea what to make of it at first, but one thing was certain - she, was going to fight that thing that was in there with her, and she was going to freakin' enjoy it. Good thing she always carried a knife and a gun on her, and the thing that was with her was fairly weak compared to some of the other Youkai. She still fairly new at this but after the second time, she had an old friend...send her some supplies she could use to fight them.

Powers:
Powers? Nah, she doesn't have anything special. Just a plain human that has to rely on her wits and stubbornness to survive. At least, she hasn't noticed any developing, even since coming to the Crimson Sky.

Skills:
-Excellent at CQC. While not an expert at hand-to-hand combat or anything like that, thanks to her military training she can easily take on most opponents in close quarters. Well, if a shot-gun to the face doesn't work out. Some of the bigger guys are probably gonna take a few.

-She's probably at the peak of human fitness, or at least as strong as a human can probably become through natural means. She makes a point to work out every day and keep her physical stamina and health in top-shape.

-Trained in the use of most firearms and has some knowledge of explosives. She could jury-rig an impromptu explosive device with the right materials.

-Adaptable, and good at thinking on her feet. Its the only thing that's kept her alive in the Crimson Sky, so far - being able to outwit the creatures. Still though, against a better armed creature that can think and adapt just as she can, she's in trouble.

Weapons:
-A Remington 870 Shotgun. Her favourite weapon, and only thing she still has leftover from her days in the military. Of course, she only carries it on her when making a planned trip into the Crimson Sky. Carrying it on her person at all times would be a bit difficult to conceal. Not to mention, probably illegal.
-Two bootknives.
-A Combat knife kept strapped on a breast-pocket for easy and quick access.
-A backup Glock-30S. Always carries this on her.

Equipment:
-A few first-aid supplies.
-Extra Ammo for Remy.
-Cigarets and Alcohol. (what? they're important.)
-Lighter
-Bullet-proof vest.

Annd there she is. A bit of a chip on her shoulder, but a generally good guy. Doesn't have any special powers or anything, other than her military training and bullets. Wonder how long she'll survive? :D

If there are any problems, do tell. I'd be more than happy to fix them.

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky

It seems like everyone is making characters with some sort of super-speed/strength/agility, is that a path I should be following?

@Eschatologist

Well, my next character is definitely not going to be that...

In fact, she's probably not going to be having much of any abilities at all, other than her military training xP

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky

Senna

"Hmm?~ Oh look. Its a funny little human. Not often I see your kind here...why don't you come over here and...sit, for a bit. I won't bite."

"Hmm~ Senna, is my name. But you little human, may call me Sen."
~Name~
Senna, or Sen.

"How rude, asking a lady her age..."
~Age~
How old? Well, she stopped counting somewhere around 200 years ago. Age is a trivial thing.

"In case you didn't notice these...I'm a female."
~Gender~
Female.

"Well, I'm obviously not human...so what am I?"~
~Race~
Youkai

"Tsk. Again with the personal questions."
~Height~
Armored: 8'0" When standing at full height, seven feet when resting.
Human: 6'0"

"Really, asking me my weight? You really are quite rude..."
~Weight~
Armored:
Approximately 600lbs.
Human:
Approximately 146 lbs.

"Morality?...morality is just a concept created by men to justify their actions. I do what I want, when I want."

Alignment:
Neutral Evil to Chaotic Evil, when she is on her own, though leans more towards Neutral Evil unless provoked or extremely bored.
However, she is not adverse to helping out someone who works for 'good', so long as they are strong, their enemies are strong and can provide ample...'entertainment' for her in a number of ways.

"Hmph. I look out for myself, pure and simple. Well...aside from you, of course. We are friends, after all?~"

Affiliation:
Senna's only true affiliation is herself, pure and simple. However, she is not adverse to working for someone else as long as they are strong. Strong enough to thoroughly beat her in a fight or outwit her - she will serve them so long as they remain so. That's not saying she won't change allegiances if she grows bored with her current master, however...

"Those silly things people call me sometimes. How droll."

Aliases/Titles:
The Cursed Armor/The Blood Drenched Fiend.

"Quite stunning, aren't I? Why don't you draw a picture?~"

Appearance:

Human Form:
Senna, in her mostly human form takes the appearance of an attractive woman. She has long, waist length black hair that seems to hang lifelessly even if there is a breeze blowing. Her skin is extremely pale, almost a pure white color. Really, put her against a sheet of printer paper and her skin is probably a bit whiter. She has very visible ears that end in a sharp point, which sometimes twitch in either irritation or impatience if something is taking awhile. She constantly has a bored look on her face, as if always searching for something 'fun' to do. All of her teeth end in sharp points. Her most notable differences though, are her legs, arms and eyes. Her eyes, are a bright orange - the sclera of which is black. From the knees down, her legs are covered in a hard, thick layer of what looks to be armor with her feet ending in sharp clawed talons. Her arms from her elbow down, are much the same and end in five sharp claws. A lithe tail extends from her waist, ending in a sharp point and often idly flicking back and forth out of boredom.

As for clothing?...what Clothing? Senna doesn't exactly like wearing clothes. Her armor takes care of that more or less, even in its stand-by state. What looks like a simple form-fitting metal vest made out of light armor plating adorns her body normally, covering most of her chest, back, and a bit of her thighs. It is far from modest, however, since the front doesn't exactly cover anything up completely from the waist up aside from her important bits.

True Form:
However much Senna likes gallivanting around as a human, she can never hide the fact she is in fact a youkai. Not that she tries too all that much considering her appearance.

Her actual form is much more demon looking than her human form. Standing at eight feet when at full height, she looses almost any semblance of her human form and instead becomes what could almost be described as a feral beast that delights in killing people. First, her body is covered entirely in incredibly durable and flexible armor and she grows a total of two feet. Her tail does as well, becoming an armored weapon perfect for bashing, or using the axe-like end to cut anyone attempting to sneak up on her. Her face is covered as well, loosing any of its previous human charms with it. Instead, a macabre grin is plastered across a metal plate that is used in place of a her face. On her back, spikes of numerous length grow. The claws on her hands grow longer, along with gaining two blades on her lower arms that protect her arms.

The appearance of the beast isn't at all as large as it seems. In fact, its quite lithe and agile, built more for agility rather than brute strength though it is still quite strong. If summed up in a few words, I would describe her as 'A Heavily Armored Raptor'

Note: Talking in this form is actually a bit difficult for her.

"We~ell...I'd say I'm just a free spirit, but others would disagree..."

Personality:
Senna, is quite simple in her behavior when you get down to it. She follows what is probably the oldest and simplest thing in the book: The strong trample over the weak, and the weak will either follow or be brushed aside. She is about as bloodthirsty and as violent as most Youkai come, and especially delights in causing a bit of a mess when she gets her hands on a human or two. Obviously, she's not the most friendliest or nicest of people when you get down to it.

However, her outward personality greatly hides her more...violent tendencies towards humans. When meeting a human for the first time, she can come off as helpful, or at least amicable if somewhat...flirty, in her mannerisms. If a human happens to wonder into the Crimson Sky and she finds them - she'll seemingly offer her help, at first, but its mostly just an act to toy with the human in some manner. Gain their trust so to speak, and then promptly kill them the moment they need her help, or until she grows bored of them. She can be seemingly altruistic at times, offering help for seemingly no reason. Usually though, its simply because she believes whoever she will be helping will help alleviate her boredom in the long run, either by dying a brutal death at a later point, or simply giving her a good show of something.

When first meeting a human, she'll usually play nice until she determines weather or not they'll be any fun. If they won't be, she'll simply play with them. Which usually ends with the human being killed, dismembered, and subsequently probably eaten. Though, if she takes a liking to a human she can be quite...friendly, with them. However, this is rare that this happens. And if it does, she usually takes a liking to criminals, and others who...aren't exactly the friendliest of people.

If, she does take a liking to someone, they will find a surprising side to her that she doesn't show anyone else. Namely, loyalty among her...affections of other sorts. Of course, there has only ever been one instance of this that she recalls. Try asking her about it. Can surprisingly be a bit lazy at times unless something catches her attention.

"Me? Well...I've been around awhile."
Background:
Ah...where to start with her history? She's been around awhile, ever since the medieval ages, and maybe before then. Her earliest memories that she can recall with clarity are of are being in the employ of a certain Transylvanian king as a torturer. She may have been around longer, but if so she can't exactly remember. Memories from that time are fuzzy to nonexistent, but she doesn't think too much about it, since she doesn't really care. She does know, she was originally a violent youkai, though how she came to possess a human form is lost on her.

Mostly, she spends her days bored inside of the Crimson Sky looking for a bit of entertainment with either some unwitting humans or some youkai that have the misfortune to cross her path. Often, she can be found sleeping much like a cat would on some high-up place, observing the ground for anything interesting going on.

"Ah...my abilities? Well, I'm good at what I do..."
Powers:
Her powers are mostly physical in nature. Enhanced strength, speed, and agility are her forte. She is incredibly fleet of foot despite weighing quite a bit. Most of the time, she uses her speed and agility to ambush opponents and kill them before they even know what she has done to them. Her strength, while not as strong as those that specialize in it, she can still pack quite a bit of a punch. Especially since her claws are made out of some unknown material that can seemingly cut through most normal metals with ease. She can easily lift her own body weight plus a few hundred lbs or so.

Defensive wise, she is basically a suit of walking armor. However, do not think that just because its old-fashioned armor means it can easily be dealt with. While true, it doesn't have the benefits of some magical armor and more modern armor, it will take quite a bit of force for the armor to buckle, give way, or fail enough to injure her.

Additionally, she has the ability to see even in the darkest of areas and her sense of hearing and smell is almost impossible to match. The downside, is that her increased armor weight means its a bit difficult for her to be stealthy since every step she makes could potentially cause a giant 'thud', if she's not careful.

Essentially, she is almost the prefect ambush-predator but can also hold her own in an extended fight if she had too, at least for awhile.

The ability she likes the best, however, is her ability to gain power from her victims. When I said they would probably be eaten? Yeah, she does that. Consuming more, means her own strength will grow. Of course, she will need to consume quite a number of people/youkai for any noticeable effect to happen.

She is able to change a certain part of her armor at a time. Meaning, she could just change an arm, leg, helmet, or any other body part.

"We~ll, I've been told I'm quite calm and quite...fast. Want to see for yourself?~"

Skills:
- hand-to-hand combat in both Youkai and human form.
- Calm in most situations.
- Resourceful and Adaptable.
- Quite agile in Youkai form. (Think Free running, here.)

"I suppose you could say I come fully armed."
Weapons:
- Her claws
- Spikes on her back
- Talons

"Only the clothes on my back...well," Giggles. "Kind of, obviously."
Equipment:
N/A Has no need for any, since she is basically a walking suit of armor.

"Do you have any of that human food? I think its called Ice cream. Bring me some~"
Other:
-Likes sweet and cold things. Vanilla ice-cream. Give her that, and she'll be your friend for a bit. Bribery will get you everywhere.
-Tends to run on all fours in her Youkai form.

And there's one of them.

I think I'm done for the day, though. I'll have the other up tomorrow, sometime. I need to rest for a bit...

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky

How are youkai born, what is their growing process like, and what are their naming conventions? What do they eat, is there a youkai economy, is there a youkai shared language, and what are some common youkai aspirations? Is there a sort of youkai society, and if so, what kind? Do youkai need to sleep, do they believe in a god, and are there cultural or moral norms shared among them? What are the common youkai beliefs about humans?

@Eschatologist

Those are some rather valid questions, and would probably help me as well once I get around to working on a cs.

Also, just noticed your recette avatar. Capitalism ho, friend!

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky

I'm gonna have a youkai and a human, probably. Soon as I get home in a few hours I'll get to work on polishing up on their cs's. For now, I gottago off and do stuff.

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky

Actually, not at all why I chose the rp. Just a bonus. xD

I have a character I've been wanting to use for awhile now, but its hard to find an rp that she fits into. This is one she can fit into pretty well.

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky

Someone mentioned Yuri in this :D
I don't know you guys, but I already like ya XP

Anyways, this looks pretty close to what I want at the moment. I have a character in mind already, she just needs a few tweaks. That said, I'm currently on my tablet and making a cs on this thing would be a bitch, so I'll have to work on it later when I'm not as busy.

So yeah, throw in my interest in if you'll have me, though I'll work on a cs later.
