Akemi Kageyama wrote:Name: Lady Akemi Kageyama
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Birthday: 05/07
Sexuality: Bi
Special Characteristics: She can make her eyes glow red in the dark.

Personality:  Life has been very easy for Akemi. Her family history is long and complicated but the short of it is that two generations ago her family split into two branches. Her grandfather received the estate, the money and the power, while the other side went to a temple or something. She was never certain and honestly to this day does not care. Being the oldest of three, she is first in line for the Kageyama family estate. With money unquestionably old, she is free to do as she pleases until her parents do something annoying like die. Until that time, she is free to do as she pleases.

Having never had to worry or want, she is used to getting literally everything that she asks for. As such, when it was revealed that she had the gift of magic, she demanded to be trained in the family secret arts which combines the summoning of ancient beings of imprisoned light and darkness along with the cruelty of sheer savagery. A ninja without morals or a samurai without bonds, the Kageyama family secret arts is forbidden for use except under the most dire of circumstances.

So of course she uses it whenever the hell she wants. After her master met an untimely demise (due to being murdered by her) she was left with a series of scrolls which would unlock additional skills of the magics she had learned the basics of. With nothing else to do but use them, she now ventures out to own the world she sees as hers. Maybe she’ll become an assassin. Maybe she’ll bully some kids. She really does not care. An important note: Throughout the world as she travels now, she wears a small glamour which masks her true appearance. Thus, she will not instantly be recognized as the Kageyama heir, letting her travel and play as she likes.

Likes:
• Weapons: If there is one thing that Akemi has trained herself in it is the usage and history of most weapons. With some study she can analyze the age and country of origin of most weapons. She’s also capable of identifying and spotting forgeries of ceremonial weapons, again, with some analysis.
  
  
• Harm: To say she is something of a masochist or that she’s a sadist is a little tame. She is a mixture of both, seeing pain as a way to convey any kind of emotion without restraint. If she is ever required to talk about feelings, it will be through hurting.
  
  
• Desserts: She’s a sucker for desserts, and demands the best of anything sweet that she eats. However in truth, she will settle for packaged convenience store brownies as long as no one sees her eating them.
  
  
  Dislikes:
  
  
• Pacifists: The weakest warrior is miles better than the strongest coward in her opinion. Someone willing to put their money where their mouth is and put their life on the line gets a modicum of respect. Someone who thinks it’s better to solve things by talking is just begging for a boot to the throat.
  
  
• Waiting: As mentioned before, she is the eldest child of a family that comes from old money. As such, to wait for anything is nonsense and will not be tolerated. If the things she wants are not brought to her on the silverest of platters, she reacts quickly and violently.
  
  
• Coins: She doesn’t want to jingle, she’s not a court jester. She’s not tipping you, she just doesn’t want the change.
  
  
  Motivations: (Akemi has two motivations known to her, while the third is not acknowledged)
  
  
• Power: She seeks to have the strength to grow her family’s estate by nearly whatever means necessary. This includes but is not limited to physical strength, magical ability and political might. She is, however, a loyal woman and considers allies as important trinkets rather than disposable tools. Help her rise to the top and she’ll have a place for you once she’s there.
  
  
• Mastery: Truth be told, Akemi is more of a perfectionist than she lets on. While she can write off mistakes or small errors occasionally, she personally feels that when it is time to shine, she had better. Therefore anything she is to be good at, she wants to be *great* at. To be known for your family is one thing, to be known for your craft is another.
  
  
• Independence: A motivation not acknowledged by Akemi relates to the other two motivations, which is her secret desire to be known as Akemi Kageyama, rather than Akemi of the Kageyama family. To be born under the shadow of your own blood is something that many never have to concern themselves with. But it does get frustrating.
  
  Fears: (Akemi does not have any fears that she is willing to acknowledge)
  
  
• Loneliness/Loss: Akemi has been surrounded by servants, those that wish a taste of her family’s power, and anything else that she has ever wanted. The loss of all of that, leaving her completely powerless and by herself, would be devastating to her.
  
  
• Mortality: Pain is one thing. She enjoys feeling alive through pain. However there is the finest of lines between the beauty of pain and the tragedy of death. She has taken lives, many, and faced her own mortality more than once, but the thought of dying still petrifies her.
  
  
• The Man With Red Eyes: When Akemi was young, she snuck downstairs past her bedtime and a man was meeting with her father. She could not hear what they were saying, but she vividly recalls that it was the first time she saw her father afraid of anything. The conversation ended and the man turned to leave. She cannot recall his face. She locked eyes with him. The fear spread to her. So did the eyes. She never wants to meet him again.

Name: Kotomi Kadenkouji　[勘解由小路琴峰]
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Birthday: 09/18
Sexuality: Gaaaaaaay
Special Characteristics: She has a small tattoo strike on her back for each time she’s lost a fight.

Personality:  In a world where those that can use magic, even the weakest kind, anyone who cannot is always going to be at a disadvantage. With a lineage of great mages going back generations, Kotomi Kadenkouji never felt as though she had the option of failure. Learning of her family’s importance at a young age, she stuck to a self-imposed pressure to be as talented as the rest of her bloodline. However, Kotomi never had the general skill with magic despite having the technical ability to produce it. She instead developed several workarounds for the type of magic she produces. Though a little untraditional, her style of magic nonetheless made her family proud. She became an above average student of particular note throughout her stay at Kingsley, although some of her unorthodox methods made it a bit difficult for her to attain favor in the eyes of all of her instructors. However, this was enough for that she grew into her own motto: If you can produce the same results, no one will care how you did it.

This is not to say that Kotomi is embittered by the events of her high school or was somehow brought low by the harsh realities of life. She is an optimistic, some would even call naive young woman. She believes that there are days of absolute right and absolute wrong, and the days will inevitably involve bloodshed. However she is aware of the murky middle and simply tries to keep herself away that area as much as possible.

Although she is off on her own now, fighting for the sake of her own notability and sense of right or wrong, she has never forgotten the importance of her family. Everything that she does bears the Kadenkouji name, and as her family is of importance in the magical community, she works hard to ensure that nothing she does brings dishonor to that family name.

Overall, however, Kotomi Ain’t That Deep Fam. She is a young, coltish woman who enjoys fighting mostly for the joy of it, and is willing to work as a mage in order to make her way through life, make a little coin and hopefully show that she’s capable of making a difference on her own.

[list]
Likes:

[*]Martial Arts: Her magic style relies on the martial arts she uses, and thus the study of all ways of maximizing physical technique are of interest to her. She has learned several ways of the fist and is proficient, if not a master, in many types of murder.

[*]Strong personalities: Kotomi is drawn to those like herself, who can take a beating physically or mentally. She doesn’t think that people who are otherwise are weak per se, but she has a tendency to treat them like they’re made of glass for safety’s sake.

[*]Parfait: It’s a dessert with little fruits in it, what more can you ask for?


Dislikes:

[*]Willful Ignorance: Kotomi was never as naturally gifted with intelligence as her classmates. Therefore, she has had to study and work hard towards everything she’s ever wanted. Going through her time at Kingsley was especially difficult as there was no room for error. Therefore, anyone who chooses to remain ignorant or not give their best towards something deserves the results they attain in her opinion.

[*]Sucker Punches: Kotomi was taught by her various masters that a fight is an ugly thing from start to finish. However, her opinion is that a fight starts fairly and ends how it ends. She feels it’s necessary to do her best to begin a fight fairly, by stating an intent to initiate combat. Thus, a sucker punch (whether a physical punch or any other initial, off guard strike) is a coward’s move.

[*]Naps: They always either turn into sleep or they just make her feel groggy and slow.


Motivations:

[*]Makoto, her little sister:  It could be said that everything Kotomi does is for her little sister’s sake. If she is as strong as possible, she can protect Makoto from anything. Otherwise, she just likes to tease and spend time with her little sister when possible.

[*]Self-Improvement: Kotomi seeks to better herself in every way possible. Mastery of the body, mind and spirit are all of equal importance to her.

[*]Tomorrow: Kotomi is an optimistic person. As such, she lives to see the new challenges and excitement that tomorrow will bring.

Fears:

[*]The Loss Of Her Sister: As stated above, Makoto is her motivation. Losing her little sister, or the idea of something happening to her, is something that would turn Kotomi’s world completely batshit upside down.

[*]Being Disowned: Her family is very important to her. Being removed forcibly from that lineage would break her.

[*]The Cobra: The Cobra is a martial artist/mage against whom Kotomi has fought ten times. She has lost ten times. He has slowly wormed his way into her mind and is now living there rent free. She wonders if, perhaps, she will never be able to beat him.

Kotomi Kadenkouji wrote:Using my Character Change thingy bought here: Clicky.
Name: Iroha Ikegami [池神色葉]
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Birthday: 09/13
Sexuality: Gaaaaaaay
Special Characteristics: Wireframe glasses, freckles, as well as a black leatherbound notebook which she's either carrying or is floating in her vicinity.

Personality:  

A second generation immigrant from Midi, Iroha grew up in a plain family as a person of little repute. Her father works as a carpenter and her mother is the owner of a small flower shop in Oshibana. A bit of a daydreamer from a young age, she nevertheless showed considerable magical potential and was enrolled in a small academy to learn the basics and consider moving forward from there. Her control of her magic is average, but her creativity in creating different ways to use it was considered above average and something to see.

Iroha is considered by many to be a very unique person, often becoming hyper-focused on certain hobbies or activities and essentially suck them dry of any interest or enjoyment. Within that time, she'll become an expert on it and share that information with anyone and everyone she meets, unless strictly informed not to do so. She is the type of person to listen to a song on repeat for an entire week until she loses interest in it. Once this happens, she tends to drift through life until she finds something else to grasp onto. Her only persistent interest is magic, constantly focusing on different ways to utilize a gift with infinite potential.

Her social skills are lacking, and she can be a bit blunt without intending so. She lacks certain social nuances and has trouble grasping double entendres or implied meanings. She tends to take people at their word except in very obvious circumstances, meaning anyone with considerable charisma can usually pull one over on her. As such, she relies on any friends or allies to keep her straight, and when in one-on-one conversations, tends to become pensive and slow to respond as she must concentrate on what her conversation partner is saying.

In battle, however, Iroha experiences a full switch and can be quite reactive. She's rarely one to start something but is by no means a pushover. Her ability to notice small details comes in handy at this point, as it helps her assess the strengths and weaknesses of opponents quickly and her creativity with magic allows her to utilize her spells in ways that might not seem obvious to others. She's not one to trade quips throughout a fight, focused specifically on fighting with two small exceptions. She has a habit of pointing out things that she has noticed within a fight, connected to her hyper-focusing habit and inability to tell when things shouldn't be said. Perhaps due to this, she has no specific stubbornness for winning a battle, and would rather survive to analyze her opponent and come back rather than fighting to the bitter end when she knows she will lose something.

Likes:

• Studying: When she becomes fixed on one thing, she learns everything that she can about it by any means necessary. The book that she constantly carries allows her to hold knowledge on any of these previous fixations.
  
  
• Her friends: Iroha is very practical when choosing friends, but becomes severely loyal to them when she does. Being friends with her is like having a pet cat. Although she does not always obviously return the affection, she is definitely there and cares in her own way.
  
  
• Stuffed animals: When she sees a stuffed animal of any kind, she does her best to purchase it and then ship it home. Her father built her a separate room above family's garage that is filled with them.
  
  
  Dislikes:
  
  
• Liars: Although nobody likes liars, Iroha has a very particular stubborn dislike towards people who have fooled her in the past. Since she is aware of her uniqueness and how simple it is to lie to her, it is incredibly difficult to win back her trust once someone has lost it. This is, above all, a survival instinct.
  
  
• Being Alone: While many people who exhibit similar traits as hers might prefer silence or being alone, Iroha is quite the opposite. She loves being around people and has a harder time concentrating when there is no background noise or people talking.
  
  
• Shoebills: Those birds look like puppets and scare the hell out of her. She will not buy shoebill stuffed animals.
  
  
  Motivations:
  
  
• Knowledge/Creation: Whether she is consciously aware of it or not, Iroha must know all things. This, combined with her unique complexities, often causes her to ask questions that others might consider "invasive", "inappropriate", or "stupid". However, pushing through such social absurdities allows her to become more creative with magic, utilizing and mastering things that other people might "assume" they completely understand.
  
  
• Respect/Praise: Iroha isn't unaware of her situation. She knows how she is different from others. However, she strives to connect with others in similarities and be recognized for her contributions just like the others. As such, she can be easily lured or motivated by recognition of her works and accomplishment. This, perhaps, ties into her naivety.
  
  
• The Book: The book that Iroha carries with her has a specific usage and purpose, but also carries within it a deep motivation for her to continue forward. Call it a curse or a blessing, it motivates her to continue onward at nearly any cost.
  
  Fears:
  
  
• Claustrophobia: As in she has it, not fears it. Iroha cannot stand being alone, and the idea of being trapped somewhere by herself is enough to make her want to vomit.
  
  
• Pain: Likely more than others, Iroha has a fear of pain and it is one of the things most likely to cause her to panic or lose focus, and one of the reasons why she prefers not to come into physical contact with people she doesn't know. Fortunately she's created magical ways to avoid experiencing pain during battle (merely the experience, not damage), but sudden instances of pain whether light or heavy will often cause her to react in extremes.
  
  
• The Tired Willow: A beast, concept, event or human that occasionally appears in her nightmares. Although she doesn't know exactly what it is, she has reason to believe that it actually exists.

Name: Iroha Ikegami [池神色葉]
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Birthday: 09/13
Sexuality: Gaaaaaaay
Special Characteristics: Wireframe glasses, freckles, as well as a black leatherbound notebook which she's either carrying or is floating in her vicinity.

Personality:  

A second generation immigrant from Midi, Iroha grew up in a plain family as a person of little repute. Her father works as a carpenter and her mother is the owner of a small flower shop in Oshibana. A bit of a daydreamer from a young age, she nevertheless showed considerable magical potential and was enrolled in a small academy to learn the basics and consider moving forward from there. Her control of her magic is average, but her creativity in creating different ways to use it was considered above average and something to see.

Iroha is considered by many to be a very unique person, often becoming hyper-focused on certain hobbies or activities and essentially suck them dry of any interest or enjoyment. Within that time, she'll become an expert on it and share that information with anyone and everyone she meets, unless strictly informed not to do so. She is the type of person to listen to a song on repeat for an entire week until she loses interest in it. Once this happens, she tends to drift through life until she finds something else to grasp onto. Her only persistent interest is magic, constantly focusing on different ways to utilize a gift with infinite potential.

Her social skills are lacking, and she can be a bit blunt without intending so. She lacks certain social nuances and has trouble grasping double entendres or implied meanings. She tends to take people at their word except in very obvious circumstances, meaning anyone with considerable charisma can usually pull one over on her. As such, she relies on any friends or allies to keep her straight, and when in one-on-one conversations, tends to become pensive and slow to respond as she must concentrate on what her conversation partner is saying.

In battle, however, Iroha experiences a full switch and can be quite reactive. She's rarely one to start something but is by no means a pushover. Her ability to notice small details comes in handy at this point, as it helps her assess the strengths and weaknesses of opponents quickly and her creativity with magic allows her to utilize her spells in ways that might not seem obvious to others. She's not one to trade quips throughout a fight, focused specifically on fighting with two small exceptions. She has a habit of pointing out things that she has noticed within a fight, connected to her hyper-focusing habit and inability to tell when things shouldn't be said. Perhaps due to this, she has no specific stubbornness for winning a battle, and would rather survive to analyze her opponent and come back rather than fighting to the bitter end when she knows she will lose something.

Likes:

• Studying: When she becomes fixed on one thing, she learns everything that she can about it by any means necessary. The book that she constantly carries allows her to hold knowledge on any of these previous fixations.
  
  
• Her friends: Iroha is very practical when choosing friends, but becomes severely loyal to them when she does. Being friends with her is like having a pet cat. Although she does not always obviously return the affection, she is definitely there and cares in her own way.
  
  
• Stuffed animals: When she sees a stuffed animal of any kind, she does her best to purchase it and then ship it home. Her father built her a separate room above family's garage that is filled with them.
  
  
  Dislikes:
  
  
• Liars: Although nobody likes liars, Iroha has a very particular stubborn dislike towards people who have fooled her in the past. Since she is aware of her uniqueness and how simple it is to lie to her, it is incredibly difficult to win back her trust once someone has lost it. This is, above all, a survival instinct.
  
  
• Being Alone: While many people who exhibit similar traits as hers might prefer silence or being alone, Iroha is quite the opposite. She loves being around people and has a harder time concentrating when there is no background noise or people talking.
  
  
• Shoebills: Those birds look like puppets and scare the hell out of her. She will not buy shoebill stuffed animals.
  
  
  Motivations:
  
  
• Knowledge/Creation: Whether she is consciously aware of it or not, Iroha must know all things. This, combined with her unique complexities, often causes her to ask questions that others might consider "invasive", "inappropriate", or "stupid". However, pushing through such social absurdities allows her to become more creative with magic, utilizing and mastering things that other people might "assume" they completely understand.
  
  
• Respect/Praise: Iroha isn't unaware of her situation. She knows how she is different from others. However, she strives to connect with others in similarities and be recognized for her contributions just like the others. As such, she can be easily lured or motivated by recognition of her works and accomplishment. This, perhaps, ties into her naivety.
  
  
• The Book: The book that Iroha carries with her has a specific usage and purpose, but also carries within it a deep motivation for her to continue forward. Call it a curse or a blessing, it motivates her to continue onward at nearly any cost.
  
  Fears:
  
  
• Claustrophobia: As in she has it, not fears it. Iroha cannot stand being alone, and the idea of being trapped somewhere by herself is enough to make her want to vomit.
  
  
• Pain: Likely more than others, Iroha has a fear of pain and it is one of the things most likely to cause her to panic or lose focus, and one of the reasons why she prefers not to come into physical contact with people she doesn't know. Fortunately she's created magical ways to avoid experiencing pain during battle (merely the experience, not damage), but sudden instances of pain whether light or heavy will often cause her to react in extremes.
  
  
• The Tired Willow: A beast, concept, event or human that occasionally appears in her nightmares. Although she doesn't know exactly what it is, she has reason to believe that it actually exists.

Iroha Ikegami wrote:I'm changing back. I have a character change thingy to keep all my stuff.
Name: Kotomi Kadenkouji　[勘解由小路琴峰]
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Birthday: 09/18
Sexuality: Gaaaaaaay
Special Characteristics: She has a small tattoo strike on her back for each time she’s lost a fight. There are currently eleven.

Personality:  In a world where those that can use magic, even the weakest kind, anyone who cannot is always going to be at a disadvantage. With a lineage of great mages going back generations, Kotomi Kadenkouji never felt as though she had the option of failure. Learning of her family’s importance at a young age, she stuck to a self-imposed pressure to be as talented as the rest of her bloodline. However, Kotomi never had the general skill with magic despite having the technical ability to produce it. She instead developed several workarounds for the type of magic she produces. Though a little untraditional, her style of magic nonetheless made her family proud. She became an above average student of particular note throughout her stay at Kingsley, although some of her unorthodox methods made it a bit difficult for her to attain favor in the eyes of all of her instructors. However, this was enough for that she grew into her own motto: If you can produce the same results, no one will care how you did it.

This is not to say that Kotomi is embittered by the events of her high school or was somehow brought low by the harsh realities of life. She is an optimistic, some would even call naive young woman. She believes that there are days of absolute right and absolute wrong, and the days will inevitably involve bloodshed. However she is aware of the murky middle and simply tries to keep herself away that area as much as possible.

Although she is off on her own now, fighting for the sake of her own notability and sense of right or wrong, she has never forgotten the importance of her family. Everything that she does bears the Kadenkouji name, and as her family is of importance in the magical community, she works hard to ensure that nothing she does brings dishonor to that family name.

Overall, however, Kotomi Ain’t That Deep Fam. She is a young, coltish woman who enjoys fighting mostly for the joy of it, and is willing to work as a mage in order to make her way through life, make a little coin and hopefully show that she’s capable of making a difference on her own.

Likes:

• Martial Arts: Her magic style relies on the martial arts she uses, and thus the study of all ways of maximizing physical technique are of interest to her. She has learned several ways of the fist and is proficient, if not a master, in many types of murder.
  
  
• Strong personalities: Kotomi is drawn to those like herself, who can take a beating physically or mentally. She doesn’t think that people who are otherwise are weak per se, but she has a tendency to treat them like they’re made of glass for safety’s sake.
  
  
• Parfait: It’s a dessert with little fruits in it, what more can you ask for?
  
  
  Dislikes:
  
  
• Willful Ignorance: Kotomi was never as naturally gifted with intelligence as her classmates. Therefore, she has had to study and work hard towards everything she’s ever wanted. Going through her time at Kingsley was especially difficult as there was no room for error. Therefore, anyone who chooses to remain ignorant or not give their best towards something deserves the results they attain in her opinion.
  
  
• Sucker Punches: Kotomi was taught by her various masters that a fight is an ugly thing from start to finish. However, her opinion is that a fight starts fairly and ends how it ends. She feels it’s necessary to do her best to begin a fight fairly, by stating an intent to initiate combat. Thus, a sucker punch (whether a physical punch or any other initial, off guard strike) is a coward’s move.
  
  
• Naps: They always either turn into sleep or they just make her feel groggy and slow.
  
  
  Motivations:
  
  
• Makoto, her little sister:  It could be said that everything Kotomi does is for her little sister’s sake. If she is as strong as possible, she can protect Makoto from anything. Otherwise, she just likes to tease and spend time with her little sister when possible.
  
  
• Self-Improvement: Kotomi seeks to better herself in every way possible. Mastery of the body, mind and spirit are all of equal importance to her.
  
  
• Tomorrow: Kotomi is an optimistic person. As such, she lives to see the new challenges and excitement that tomorrow will bring.
  
  Fears:
  
  
• The Loss Of Her Sister: As stated above, Makoto is her motivation. Losing her little sister, or the idea of something happening to her, is something that would turn Kotomi’s world completely batshit upside down.
  
  
• Being Disowned: Her family is very important to her. Being removed forcibly from that lineage would break her.
  
  
• The Cobra: The Cobra is a martial artist/mage against whom Kotomi has fought ten times. She has lost ten times. He has slowly wormed his way into her mind and is now living there rent free. She wonders if, perhaps, she will never be able to beat him.
