By the time Rei Yorutsuki stumbled out of the cab, the sun was setting, painting the sky with a crimson hue. The color of blood, he thought absently. He looked up at the pristine building ahead of him, dimly aware of the man - whom he had been calling 'dad' for the past nineteen years - stepping out of the car behind him. Rei felt drained from the long ride - it was bumpy; each time he tried to doze off, he was thrown out of his seat with a horribly-timed jerk.

"Let's go," the man said, a hint of uneasiness in his voice. He then strode ahead of his son, seemingly in a hurry to get through the glass doors. Rei followed after him silently, and through the blast of cold air they arrived in front of an intercom. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of it.

How welcoming.

The man pushed the button rather forcefully and the device buzzed, "Hello, how may I help you?"

He cleared his throat. "I'm here for a power application." He stole a quick sideways look at the bored teenager beside him and added, "Not for myself. For my son, actually."

"May I have your son's name, sir?"

"Rei Yorutsuki." The man fumbled with his black briefcase before he fished out a stack of slightly crumpled papers. "I've brought the documents with me---"

"Thank you," the cool, robotic voice from the intercom continued, and Rei could hear the faint sound of someone typing on a keyboard in the background. "Rei Yorutsuki, aged 19. Power applied for is hemokinesis, is that right?"

"Y-Yeah - I mean, yes."

"The gate is now unlocked. You are free to pass through."

The man passed the papers to the boy, his eyes pointedly avoiding contact with his son's. "Here. Now go on."

Rei took the documents and went through the gate without a second glance, his mind mentally erasing what's remaining of the little memories he had of the man who had chosen to desert him, to this strange faraway place beyond the walls of society.

Name:

Rei Yorutsuki

Nicknames:

Ray, Zero, Sice

Age:

19

Past/History:

Rei was born in Las Vegas to a Japanese father and Chinese mother, but his mother abandoned the family for another man when he turned five - Rei had no choice but to stand up on his own feet to look after himself, so as not to be a burden to his father. His dad became a workaholic in order to escape the anguish at the loss of his woman that hurt his pride and pretty much ignored his son's existence, whom he didn't know what to do with. Young Rei had been quite a queer child - when he was a baby he rarely cried; as he grew up his introverted personality became more and more apparent. He found it difficult to connect with people and his reclusive situation worsened, in which he started to take up martial arts training and throwing himself into various random interests and activities to fill up the emptiness in his social life. He was constantly been targeted by the bullies in school and in his neighborhood - even though he merely shrugged them off and went on with his daily life, he was unaware of a dark seed that was planted inside of him...

When he was fifteen, a group of drunk gamblers who had just lost their money mugged and tried to rape him to vent their anger and frustration - that became a trigger that caused something inside of Rei to snap and killed them all out of sudden rage. That spur of violent outburst started to corrode his inside and the seed began to grow...

His father, out of fear of his potential bloodlust, decided to send him to PRL. He signed his son up for an ability that would draw only on his own blood, to keep him in check should his dark side ever goes on an unexpected rampage.

Personality:

On the outside, Rei is a quiet, mild-mannered teenager who is rather oblivious to his surroundings and always seems to be lost in his own thoughts, preferring to work at his own pace - an odd loner. It's difficult to start a conversation and/or keep it going with him, for he pays little to no attention to the ongoing discussion and instead let his mind drifts off to things that interest him more, sometimes he may suddenly change the topic at random and that often confuses the rest, or leave the group without prior warning. As one gets to know him better, hints of his sadistic side will start to surface: he rarely sympathize with others, secretly enjoying the sight of them writhing in agony. In truth, Rei is someone who is cold, blunt and downright sarcastic at first but may slowly warms up to you as you interact with him more - he just doesn't know how to be honest with himself and isn't good with words, so he may unconsciously offend others or can be quite cryptic at times.

Fears:

• Hugging, or the feeling of being strangled/crushed by someone
• Loud Noise/Explosions
• Sudden bright light such as camera flash

Power Applied For:

Hemokinesis/Blood Manipulation

Others:

Somewhat obsessed with tasting blood samples - not drinking blood, just tasting.

What's your favorite accent?

English - maybe Australian? Well, as long as it's not Singlish...

Mandarin - Taiwanese Chinese (specifically the kind from Taipei), or Southern Chinese. Not a fan of Northern Chinese - I don't know why but I can't really stand that accent.

Japanese - Kansai-ben. I've been learning the standard Kanto Japanese for years, but my heart will always go out to Kansai-ben.

Don't shush me, coward. Do it with your mask off.
Thank goodness you're finally arrested. 'Nuff said.

person of interest seeks same.

@Markofkri

I'm up for anime - but what kind of fandom/anime-styled RP are you looking for?

For fantasy I'm more inclined to modern or Asian. Not really a fan of high medieval.

If I may, would the blood manipulation affect your own blood or others as well?

@VKAllen

Nope, his own blood. He cannot control the blood of others.

This idea is interesting, and I'd like to reserve Blood Manipulation aka Hemokinesis.

I'm not sure if you're ok with this? My posting schedule is erratic, around 1-4 posts per week. I'll try my best not to drag down the RP and post as frequently as I can, and will drop a heads-up if I need more time away to battle with real life dramas.

Build No House (Influenced by Ghost In The Shell and Under The Dog )

This idea is really intriguing...
And I freaking love Ghost in the Shell

Unfortunately, with my erratic posting schedule due to real life dramas, I don't think I'll be able to keep up with group RPs. Don't want to be responsible for dragging down the progress, or be left behind by fast-paced rpers.

Think you're too cool for the cop? You're turning all green and - don't you dare puke in the car.
