Monstergirls, an Ecchi Adventure (OOC, Semi-Closed)

[The Templar High Council]

I'm surprised. All apps accepted and currently RPing are in the archives. Congrats.

Except Neema, but he/she/it was never formally accepted.

I was expecting someone to be missing, but whatever.

Also: Tri has no character, but a spot in the archive. Weird.

Finally got me post in the IC.

I choose to have the Jester/Caretaker-guy look and sound like Cicero

I'm editing it so that it's a bit fleshier as far as the bio and stuff go, but I'm stuck gaming care of my cousins so it's going damn slow.

I was asked to post my app in the OOC thread for review, so here it is!

Character App

Name: Yuiko YUKIGIRI (雪桐 唯湖)

Race: Human/kuchisake-onna

Brief Description of Race: Half human, half kuchisake-onna. Scary.

Yuiko is, put simply, what happens when you cross a kuchisake-onna and a living, breathing human being. The progeny of a drunken businessman and a particularly soft-hearted example of the kuchisake-onna, the eighteen-year-old's physical appearance is not dissimilar to that of a normal human being; however, she is set apart from the average human being by her unfortunate tendency to take on an ... uncanny resemblance to her mother as soon as dusk falls.

Age: 18

Sex: Female.

Sexual Orientation: Pansexual.

Picture Appearance: Yuiko in human form. Picture her with a Glasgow grin and you have Yuiko in her original form.

Height and Weight: 164 cm, 42 kg.

Moral Alignment: Neutral evil, with perhaps a slight bent towards chaotic evil.

Personality: Yuiko is generally quiet and reserved; if you asked her to describe herself in one word, it would probably have been 'retiring'. Although she looks and acts like your average high schooler for the most part, she is very much conscious of her unnatural existence; and as a consequence, she doesn't really enjoy mingling with her peers. This has directly contributed to her introverted personality. However, she does tend to cheer up whenever she's in the company of someone she genuinely likes - and you may have more luck talking to her if you happen to catch her with a friend!

Personal Strengths/Abilities:

• Agile! - The only thing that Yuiko has to remember her mother by, aside from her physical appearance, is her incredible agility. Although she stops short of murdering children in cold blood or carving them a pretty grin with her dagger, Yuiko's lightning-quick reflexes is probably her most important asset, as she uses it to hunt and satisfy her craving for blood.
  
  
• Cold-blooded - Both literally and metaphorically. Being a confusing combination of undead spirit and human being, Yuiko appears to have been born cold-blooded - and without a pulse to boot. Rather, a devilish energy that she extracts from a victim powers her circulatory and respiratory systems. She is thus more resistant to large temperature variations than most human beings, and can withstand drastic temperature changes easily. Yuiko is also utterly merciless when it comes to inflicting injury or killing - she has been known to crush an unfortunate individual's skull with a hammer in order to harvest his blood.
  
  
• Somewhat immortal - Although she remains earth-bound, Yuiko's half-spiritual nature renders her impervious to most physical harm when she's in her original/true form. However, this advantage is countered by the fact that Yuiko is very much susceptible to exorcism rituals and the like; any exorcist worth his salt will have Yuiko scrambling to escape. Interestingly enough, Yuiko is still very much capable of self-harm.

Personal Weaknesses:

• I'm ugly, don't look at me - Yuiko has an unhealthy obsession with her physical appearance. Which is, to a certain extent, understandable, given her unfortunate affliction - but the girl really takes it to another level altogether. She compulsively picks at just about every piece of skin on her body, and if she's agitated, may even try to scratch her skin raw or attempt to rip swathes of skin off altogether. Couple that with a textbook case of anorexia nervosa - and you have yourself a girl who literally can't stand the sight of herself.
  
  
• Unwilling blood-guzzler - Somewhat unusually for a kuchisake-onna, Yuiko requires nutrition in the form of blood if she is to sustain herself for an extended period of time. And it has to be human blood, too. While going for a day or two without normal food won't bother her (she'll probably throw it all up anyway), the one thing that really gets her going is blood. It's unfortunate, though, that if she's gone some time without feeding, the mere taste or smell of blood will drive her into an unholy frenzy. She will stop at nothing to get her fix of rich blood. All bets are off if you get within range of her while she's in one of those frenzies of hers.
  
  
• Yandere? - While she hasn't had many (read - none) romantic encounters, Yuiko can develop mindless fixations for just about anything - human or otherwise. See that fluffy rabbit cutely munching on a carrot? Well, it's Yuiko's carrot, and *SPLAT!* - the rabbit becomes no more than a bloody lump of meat. She has no compunctions about using violence or any other means to attain the object of her desire. As such, she can be easily distracted by a well-placed lure or trap, even in moments of danger.

Magical Strengths/Abilities:

• Blood rite - Yuiko's one active magical ability is her control of blood (haemokinesis). With any sufficient amount of blood, she can manipulate the fluid to her liking; making beautifully crafted miniature fountains, majestic waterfalls, shimmering humanoid figures - you name it, she can create it. More relevantly, Yuiko can bend blood to her whim in more ways than one - with the appropriate procedures/rites, she can create a temporary magical barrier, create a corrosive offensive weapon in the form of a swirling orb of blood, and even summon a familiar - a blood spirit - for a limited amount of time, usually no more than an hour. However, it is worth noting that such rites usually leave Yuiko dead exhausted; and should there be insufficient blood for her purposes, Yuiko is forced to draw on her own blood, which leaves her severely drained.
  
  
• Elusive shadow - It's a kuchisake-onna's job to scare mere mortals, and what better way to do that than by blending into the shadows and jumping out at them when the time is right? Tired jokes aside, though, Yuiko possesses an ability to blend into her surroundings. Many's the time she will go unnoticed, except when she chooses to reveal herself. This ability of hers isn't foolproof, though; given that a barely noticeable shimmer will give her location away, she can still be spotted with some careful observation by an eagle-eyed individual.
  
  
• Terror on demand - Not so much a magical ability as it is an inherent facet of her nature as a kuchisake-onna, but Yuiko has the ability to transform into her original form (that is to say, with her trademark Glasgow grin) on demand. The transformation actually relieves her mental and magical burden to some extent, as she needs to continually expend magical and mental energy in order to take on her alternate human form. It is especially notable that Yuiko almost always seems to be in a better mood when she's in her original/true form; although the wide, gaping smile may have contributed somewhat to this perception ...

Magical Weaknesses:

• Burnt to a crisp! - Yuiko does not like fire and/or light. As previously mentioned, she can withstand high temperatures; it's elemental fire and light that really do her in. She has mild photophobia, and you can often find her squinting in a brightly-lit area. Normal, everyday conditions are not enough to harm her - however, she can be severely injured by a concentrated light/fire magical attack.

Weapon of Choice: Her short dagger; or really, any other sharp implements she can get her hands on. Yuiko's pretty handy with a knife, a scalpel, a cleaver, a pair of scissors ... the list goes on and on.

Short Bio: Well, where should I start ...

Yuiko is, as mentioned previously, the product of an unholy union between a drunken businessman and a kuchisake-onna. Her mother - perhaps somewhat unusually for a malicious spirit - was actually deeply in love with Yuiko's father, and had stalked him obsessively for months on end before finally catching him in a moment of weakness. Shortly after the two had engaged in a night of passion, Yuiko's mother decided to reveal her true nature to her partner for the night - and subsequently popped the question.

However, it appears that Yuiko's mother had a slightly disturbed sense of timing, as Yuiko's father lost his wits at the horrifying sight and collapsed in a dead faint from sheer fright. When he had regained his senses, he told her in no uncertain terms that he had no intention of marrying a monster, and indeed that he regretted ever having fell into her clutches. In a moment of madness and fury, Yuiko's mother wielded her razor-sharp pair of scissors and plunged it into the unfortunate man's chest, ending his life.

Yuiko's mother then disappeared into the mist, never emerging except to feed or hunt for an entire nine months, until baby Yuiko was born. Thereafter, realising that she was ill-equipped to take care of a newborn infant, Yuiko's mother left her on a priestess' doorstep, where baby Yuiko was raised for the next ten years of her life. Her initial appearance came, without a doubt, as a shock to her newly adopted mother; however, the priestess - being a fundamentally good person - managed to deceive herself into believing that Yuiko's face had been the result of some horrible mutilation, and continued to take care of her.

However, a twist of fate saw the priestess' hypothesis disproved beyond any reasonable doubt. As Yuiko grew, so did her thirst for blood increase exponentially; and one day, as the priestess was returning from a trip to town, she happened to catch a glimpse of a stark naked Yuiko biting into the neck of a cat in a futile attempt to relieve her hunger for blood. The priestess, utterly overwhelmed by the sight and the sudden knowledge that she had been harbouring a monster beneath her roof for ten long years, suffered a stroke and spent the rest of her years in a sanatorium.

Yuiko, left to fend for herself following the priestess' abrupt departure from her life, resolved to start her life anew, as it were, in a totally foreign environment. She ended up selecting a certain City X, the capital of Eccharia, as an ideal location - mainly because of its high (making an assumption here) population density, which meant that she would never be short of potential victims.

Theme Song: This, for reasons that will *hopefully* become apparent as we progress! ^_^

RP Example: Here~

I noticed, it was annoying at first, but then I sort of acclimated to it, to remove it now would just make it feel weird.
Also, what's this Yuiko girl's story?

[Charmera]

It is fine to have more than one. However, each character's powers should be used in a slightly different manner, representative of their different personalities.

Hmm...ok. Well it would seem that the new person and I will have to do some negotiating.

Also, I should hopefully have my post up soon.

I might be able to have Freia meet Anne...?

[Hetland 2]

I'm surprised the Puppet's theme isn't Marrionette.

BTW, I am using my OP magic and forcing you guys to send your characters to the Palace Entrance in your next posts. My last IC post assumed that you all were already there, so just make mention of that in your next posts.

If none of this makes any sense, I'm blaming Nek.

Rood. No zomboobies for you then

Somebody put me back in the grave, there are too many cheesy zombie sex jokes to make

Wait what? I have a post on the press that has maybe a few more paragraphs til I post it. Anneliese isn't at the gates yet in my draft.......

Then just shove it in randomly. Or skip it for now, and add it in on your next post.

NOOOO!!! I REPENT IN DUST AND ASHES!!!! GIVE BACK THE ZOMBOOBIES!!!!

Eh fuck, I need to go to bed. See you all in the morning.

Sorry for not taking my character straight into the palace but I needed her inside the city first. Plus my next post would have had her going there.

[Achidyemay]

Thank you, Achi. I love your enthusiasm.

Of course, enthusiasm is what gets me through life. On a side note, Chantelle is turning into more of a jealous, seductive thief than the rough dominatrix she is supposed to be. I'll have to change that, maybe... Wait! I've figured it out! I have no idea where these flashes of inspiration come from, but you could say that I... I felt it in my soul...
On a side letter, what's the reason that Chantelle can't beat down on her team-mates again, it better be good.

Ugh, my brain is too stressed, I'm afraid I'll have to delay my post again. Between getting my stuff ready for my drive to visit my hometown, and finishing this draft, RL has won tonight. I'll have to post tomorrow.....sry for the hold up guys. I'm probably gonna change my post so Anne is in the city already.

[Ryurin]

...I like this. A lot. A whole lot, actually. If only it had come in sooner...

As it is though, I'll definitely stick you on the waiting list. If two people leave us, I'll throw ya in.

Well, thank you for those kind words, haha. I'll probably be lurking around, so just give me a yell if you want/need me in~

Hmm...ok. Well it would seem that the new person and I will have to do some negotiating.

Wait up! We'll start negotiations once I'm actually accepted!

Also, what's this Yuiko girl's story?

Mhm, was Yuiko's bio not fleshed out enough for your liking?

[Achidyemay]

No... ... ...
Okay, yes it was good, I was actually wondering more of whether or not you should be included in the stats and whether or not you've been accepted. It was a confusing time, but I think I understand now.

[Nekronia]

*should post in the IC* *needs to take a test before getting yelled at more*

*stabs self with pencil then postpones IC posting until after test*

So, a Sandworm just materialized inside the palace?
