Rune_Alchemist — Roleplayer Guild

Appearance:

Miya stands an fairly tall 5'9", weighing in at around 135lbs in her human form. She has white hair and bright blue eyes.

Normally, she wields one of two katanas. Which Katana she uses, will usually decide her fighting style for the fight and she can switch in the middle of a fight, should she need too.

In her standard 'spirit form', she stands at an imposing 6'3, much taller than most men, and weighing in at around 150lbs. Her normally bright blue eyes take a darker color. Two long, sharp horns extend from her forehead, reaching about four inches in length. She also develops claws sharp enough to be used as weapons themselves.

Name:

Saika, Miyano. Prefers Miya.

Race:

Oni.

Age:

20

Gender:
Female

Skills:
Miya has been studying sword techniques and sword styles for most of her life. She is quite adept at two different sword styles, and is working on mastering them.

Whispering Gale Blade:
This style, used with a single light sword, or two smaller swords is a style of sword fighting designed around quick footwork and light strikes. Focusing on parrying and redirecting an enemies strike. An aggressive fighting style, where one actively and relentlessly attacks a target, overwhelming them with a furious offensive.

Piercing Stone Blade:
For use with larger weapons, it is the form she employs while using 'Akaiittou'. This style is designed to be for fighting heavily armored foes. Powerful, but quick and devastating strikes consisting mostly of thrusts designed to stun and pierce armor. A slower form, where one must use their strength, balance, and strategy equally well - missing a strike means she'd be wide open.

Aside from her sword skills, she is a fairly decent blacksmith and Armor smith. She can craft some fairly decent blades and armor if she has the right materials.

Terrible at cooking.

Drinks. A lot. Don't leave her and Alcohol alone.

Powers:
Miya isn't real big on using magic or things like that. Being an Oni, she could probably just power through things with sheer strength or physical endurance and stubbornness. However, she is adept at channeling the negative and positive energies of Yin and Yang through her body.

Or at least, is practicing. Currently, she can only channel Yin, effectively.

Duality of Nature:Suppression.
This is her at a 'resting' state. She actively suppresses the energies in this form. It offers no bonuses, in fact it acts as a limiter for her impressive strength and physical abilities she has as an Oni. It basically keeps her to a realm of nearly top-human strength and agility. It was the first thing the old swordsman taught her to control.

For one, it makes it easier for her to blend in with humans, without her having to constantly watch her strength.

Two, instead of relying on an Oni's natural strength for such things, she'd have to actually learn swordsmanship, and practice proper forms instead of blundering through everything.

Three, she was taught an overwhelming victory is cheap. She may be strong, and can shatter boulders with sheer physical strength, but where is the meaning in such victory?

She can remove this limiter easily, and usually does against non-human opponents if she can not beat them with it.

Duality of Nature: Yin
Yin is defined as the negative energies of the universe. She stops suppressing the 'Yin' energy, while keeping the 'Yang' suppressed. She channels it, using her body as a vessel for it, gaining a minor increase in physical strength, but a great increase in agility and speed. Additionally, she gains the ability to channel this energy out of her body to an extent. However, she's not all that adept at using it for such things.

It is the form she uses the most, and the one she's the most skilled at.

Current 'Yin' abilities:
-Black Water Blade: This form, she mostly makes use of her faster, lighter Wakizashi, Makaze. This form is best suited to astonishingly fast, but light attacks designed to confuse and cripple an enemy into submission. Devastating counters, and fast quick, crippling strikes and combos are what this form mostly consists of. She can also extend the length of her blade by few inches, by channeling the negative energy through it.

It's a more passive form, in which one waits for the opponent to make a move.

Rule one of this form: Getting hit with anything means you need more practice.

-Black Water Burst:
Pouring as much energy as she can into her blade, she can cause a small, localized explosion of negative energy at the end of her blade. The blast radius isn't all that large, but it definitely packs enough of a punch to knock most people off their feet and seriously injure them.

-Black Mountain Blade:
She can employ her Katana, Akaiittou, in this form as well. However, being the large cumbersome blade that it is, it hardly gains any sort of advantage while using it. Aside from her standard forms and attacks when using this, she gains no advantage and has no specific form to use for it, so she defaults to her normal fighting style.

-Black Earth Eruption:
However, by pouring the negative energy into the blade she can slam it into the ground, pouring the energy into the earth and causing a small, localized earthquake that cracks and disrupts the terrain in the immediate area.

Duality of Nature:Yang
Currently, she has almost zero mastery over this form and can only sustain it for a few minutes. However, in this form her physical strength and endurance skyrockets to levels even other Oni's would have trouble dealing with, with a minor increase to agility and speed. This form, is incredibly taxing on her at the moment and she's currently trying to maintain it for longer than a minute or two.

Oni Strength & Endurance:
Being an Oni, means that when she's in top form, she's physically stronger than most mortals could possibly ever hope to be. Even in her resting state with her limiters, she's fairly strong and could give even the strongest humans a run for their money.

Weapons/Equipment:
Makaze - a standard side sword. It has a blue sheathe, and the blade has a bluish tint to it. Often, she wields it one-handed. She forged it herself, and is her preferred blade.

Akaiittou - A large, heavy katana that one would need fairly good strength to wield effectively. One would need to be able to wield it with two hands even then, to make full use of the blade. A gift from her mentor before he left for the western world.

Her armor, which she crafted out of the bones of a young sea dragon she killed alongside her mentor.

Keeps a carving knife on her. She likes carving.

Bio:
Personality:
A bit on the quiet side, Miya doesn't really talk much except those she's close too. Which is really kind of only a handful of people. She can come off as a little cold, and perhaps a little aloof. But that's merely simply because she doesn't think words mean too much in the grand scheme of things. That said, she's not afraid of dishing out insults and berating someone for some 'stupid' or 'foolish' behavior.

Among friends though, she's surprisingly chatty, and likes teasing her friends. Still, talking isn't really her forte and unless spoken too she will usually keep her mouth shut. 

Which means sometimes, she can fumble with her words quite a bit, since she tends to think before she speaks.

A rule of thumb though, in battle she speaks very little else then what is necessary.

-History-

Miya's life isn't a terribly interesting one. Indeed, she's rather young for a spirit and hasn't even been around all that long. Her parents were killed by some traveling swordsman, who took her in after killing them. Of course, her parents had also been some rather bad spirits. They led a small band of Oni who really, really, didn't like the guild and it's policies.

Still, he took her in and eventually he taught her the way of the sword. First he taught her how to control the 'Negative' and 'Positive' energies of the universe, that is, Yin and Yang, and how she can suppress her Oni strength.

She learned the value of honor, honesty, and loyalty over the years, and learned how to wield her sword effectively in combat. Soon enough, however, after she turned 17, he left for the west leaving her to find her own path.

That was three years ago, and she recently joined up with the guild, and intends to further her own strength and abilities while fighting those spirits who would bring harm to others.

@Rune_Alchemist that co-gm banner means you can make plot too. So.. Do plot you and anooby wants to do@Zelosse

As I said in the post.

Anubis and I really don't feel comfortable taking the reigns in a setting that isn't our own. Perhaps it's a bit silly, or stupid to you, but taking control of a world/setting Graf has made and doing whatever we want too with it, along with his characters, simply doesn't feel right to us.

Feels a bit disrespectful, in all honesty. I wouldn't mind it if it was just for a few days, as he originally intended. But for a longer period of time? I don't feel comfortable with it. If he had given us some idea of what he had planned, I wouldn't mind taking a few creative liberties, but as it stands, I don't have anything to go on.
