ZOE
Age: Looks 21 | Is 317[/size]
Gender: Female
Species: Zasshu
Subspecies: Makai & Rusuimeru
Occupation: Personal Advisor
Alliance: Arashimeru
Choice of Weapon(s): Possessing no real weapons other than her bodily movements, she has her other uses. She turns what’s around her in an environment into a form of weapon or defensive object. Whatever is available, she will make use of in one way or another. However, she has one defensive weapon which provides nothing more than a simple mode of blocking and that is her three-inch stainless steel cuffs. It is actually a storage device hailed from her birthplace and it can become invisible at her beck ‘n call. Packed with technological uses stored on by solar power stained in magical property, it allows her to communicate with those who are back home at a certain time frame; ironically during when the eclipse occurs. But it also has its other uses; thus allowing her to use the cuffs to block attacks with ease due to its magical property.
However, when she advances into her second level form, she sports a tall scythe with a large curved blade flecked with feathers toned from honey-orange to lavender in shades. The scythe is not a typical weapon and it can only be used by a wielder who bore the bloodline of a Makai. It has neutralizing/negation ability and bestows judgment on those who have contravened with its own decided punishment not formulated by its wielder.
She has a pair of crimson-stained wings with white underneath, its size proportionate to her height and is light-weight. It emits soft glow of heat which can often comforts those who needs warmth; although the heat alone signify its magical inherit property (which can be explained in her battle specialties).
Battle Specialties & Flaws:
- Bodily Levels; unique only to her race, she is a level three demon which means she has three different forms, distinct in strength and weaknesses. Level one is her “humanoid” appearance where she appears to look human but smell like a demon. Level two is her demonic form for which all those who are makai share similarities; physical appearance mainly and then the third level is her creature form, rarely used due to irrational thoughts and less control. Nevertheless, she is almost always in her level one form.
- Fighting Techniques; considering the fact that she hailed from another world in another time, she is also equipped with fighting techniques that may not be available or world-wide on earth in Feudal era. Being knowledgeable of battle methods is essential in her race. While she may lack strength, she does more than make up for it in demonic agility and stamina alone, combined with her quick thinking. It is often that she creates special moves that only she invented combined with gymnastic skills, a surefire way to baffle her enemies.
- Scent Masking; not an inherit ability, but a skill she acquired through training. This allows her to completely mask her scent from her enemies when she is camouflaging or to keep others away from knowing she is a demon in her level one form. It is a skill that through training and constant use, it becomes part of her habit to mask her scent if needed. She can use this ability in all level forms.
Level One:
- Universal Telekinesis; widely adept to this particular skill, she has no problem manipulating things her way; whether it be objects, elementals or even people themselves. She has constantly trained her mind to get used to living heavy items to a point that she managed to create an entirely new skill spawned from this one main ability. This ability can only be used when she is in her level one and two.
- Gravitational Barrier; spawn from her primarily ability, she is able to suck on the gravity force and create a barrier of her own which can easily deflect attacks thrown in her way. Given the fact that this is just a recent skill, she is only able to maintain her barrier for a good fifteen minutes before it dissipates due to mental exhaustion and can only reuse it after an a hour.
- Two Elements; as expected of her race, she is gifted with the power of fire and water. However, she is known to use the fire element than it’s opposite. It has been believed that this is due to her personality. She can manifest fire out of thin air, manipulate it to her liking and even create what she prefers to call, “Rope of Fire,” allowing her to whip her enemies with her Rope of Fire. The result can be painful and excoriating. Due to the fact that she uses more of her fire, it has strength and ferocity than her water element. When she uses her water element, she can only produce it out of thin air and manipulate it with minimal control. What she can do is create fog by combing both her fire (the heat itself) and water element as a way to diminish the scents in the area and a perfect way to escape if need be.
- Shadowfyre; the ability for which enables her to become like a shadow and phase through any types of assailants, or even attacks that has magical property. This skill has a limitation; she can only last in her shadow mode for a good thirty minutes until her body decides it’s enough. If she continues, her shadowfyre can become irrational and her solid body can suddenly become shadow and the next minute, it’s not. She can only use this ability in her level one form.
Level Two:
- Sonic Scream; available for her use only in level two form, this is a attack which brings forth an extremely high frequency; enough to blow the ears out which can be painful to those who have deep-rooted hearing sensitivity. However, those who do not have sharp ears tend to find themselves in bouts of vertigo (nausea, dizziness, headaches). However, she cannot use her sonic scream as much as she like, because after she performs the sixth times, throat becomes dry and it can be painful.
- Subjugation Ring; by using her scythe in her second level form, she performs a negation ability which allows her to cancel out powers within two mile radius. Any additional miles added requires the very essence of her being which can drain her to exhaustion. If she continues after using it even to the point of near-death exhaustion, it can result in fatal blow; death. This is the one attack that her race is well-known for; since no other powers has been able to sustain against this particular ability. It proves to be useful for when she needs to stop a certain battle or render her enemies useless, although unfortunately, it can also render her comrades useless as well.
- Retribution Be Judged; the scythe is not only known for neutralizing powers, but it decides its punishment of those who have transgressed. Its decision is not made by its wielder as the scythe has a mind of its own and will bestow punishment whether it is austere or mild; although don’t be surprised if death is one of the list of punishments it can bring. Since the scythe has a mind of its own in this case; she cannot demand its punishment.
- Sigil of Carnage; this ability provides curved blade sitting close atop the silver rod to revolve at high-speed, enough that a penetrating high-pitch whistle can be heard and be thrown away from the rod, thus becoming a speedy gyrate blade. She can will it to become invisible as she wished, but the high-pitch whistle resonated from the spinning blade cannot be blocked unfortunately.
- Two wings; while they provide her the ability to take flight, it also come equipped with its own specialty, allowing her to turn her wings into her very own shield. It can absorb attacks and reflect twice-fold its strength. The only drawback is that she can only use this skill with attacks that are energy-related or magical-related; not blunt objects thrown at her.
Level Three:
- Shock wave; available only in this level, she can slam both her front claws to the ground, creating a shock wave resembling an earthquake. By doing so allows the ground to erupt spikes randomly which can cause severe puncture wounds or great for distraction. Unfortunately, she cannot control how the ground spikes will appear.
- Static Shield; once shrouded in neon-green statics over her body, she can easily move from one spot to the next in a flash, increasing her normal agility to the next.
- Whipping Hair; those long, crimson hair can elongate and grip its opponents to suffocation. It is often used as a whip for offense and defense moves. Its only drawback is that it can be cut easily, although it can regenerate within five minutes to its normal length.
Weaknesses:
- Strength; despite the fact that she can do a decent job in hand to hand combat due to her agility and quick-thinking, she does try her best to not wrestle with her opponents for her strength is not up to par. The strength level for her is above the human level and just slightly below the demon level.
- Footsteps; Clumsiness has always been a big issue for her. Rocks aren’t her favors either as she tends to find herself falling over several times in battles, only to get away with quick thinking or having someone to distract her enemy.
- Red Stone; a stone called Oniishi is the one thing that she and her kind fears the most. It controls their very being; mind, heart and body. If the wielder orders the stone to end the life of a Makai, it can do so. It is simple to do and all the more reason for she and her kind to avoid an oniishi at all cost. To identify an oniishi is a red bloodstone with a tiny black mark embedded from within or usually, a Makai will know at first sight. When an oniishi is used, a crimson symbol of Makai appears on the forehead, signifying that the stone has taken control of that said individual.
- Bodily Levels; different forms varies different abilities and cannot be transferred from one level to the other. She has to choose which level to engage in a battle.
- Level Three Form; this form is the one thing that Zoe will not risk using. Considered a ‘creature’ form, when she ascends to level three, she can become irrational, callous and hostile. She does not see friends or foes; whoever she sees, she tends to have insatiable need to devour for no reason.
Physical Appearance: When in her normal form which is the level one, she exudes rapturous sigh of desire, disgust and fear. She has two mesmerizing eyes shed in astonishing cobalt color and the almond-shaped and coloring of her eyes often shock and delight for they twinkle with mischief and danger. Her ink-black hair, long to the knee, is full and lustrous but feral. She almost could never tame her wavy hair and often made habits of braiding over her shoulder to sustain control. It is not surprising that she leaves the room with her hair slightly in a messy hair-do bun with tresses framing her oval-shaped face. Standing only five feet and six inches tall, she has a small waist, broad shoulders with well-defined collarbones and a pair of evenly toned, long legs. Her body is best described as slender and toned due to her constant training despite her obvious strength. Yet, every woman has something they dislike and she was no exception. She harbors the shape of her nose and her thighs. Her nose, small and slightly up-turned at the tip, leaves her to think she looks like a bird. The thighs on the other hand, she thought them ‘average’ big for her frame. Yes, she is bodily conscious!
A look at her bare back reveals an intricate mark that stretches from the nape of her neck down to the top of her bottoms. Many Makais receive this peculiar mark when they achieve level three form and she was one of them which helps to point out who is a level three Makai. Aside from her body and moving to attire preference; her approach to life translates into the clothes she wears. She does make painful exceptions to add traditional clothing style into her own to stay low, although it does not always necessarily help. More than often, she find herself akin to wearing kimonos without any traditional undergarments, but add her own style of blouse and pants or shorts on occasion which often baffles others. However, she does not appreciate the sandals that these traditional people wear and often wore her own types of shoes often flats or low-heel boots. Despite her unconventional taste in clothing, she made it a point that she will not put herself under restraint to follow the traditional lifestyle.
Ascending to her level two forms reveals the traditional appearance that all Makais share in their second form; crimson eyes with narrow vertical pupils (like cat’s eyes), lavender hair, as well as pale skin. Again, her physical features remain the same except that her hair has become less wavy and is lavender with well-lit crimson eyes along with soft, pale skin. She sports white, thigh-high boots, shorts and a bandeau across her chest along with rustic silver chains around her neck with Christian symbols; oh such irony. She has one long earring on her left ear in the same rustic silver style. Donned with two crimson wings proportioned to her physical size, the clothing she wears enables her wide range of flexibility.
Moving onto her third level form which is the one thing she avoids most as she has almost no control over it. Towering almost four stories high, her form is best described as lithe in muscle tones which allows her quick agility. Sporting short violet fur with faded white stripes on the tip of her long rabbit-like ears, over the nape of her neck and around her footings, she has long crimson hair sprouted from her head down to the neck and the hair disappears along the back line. Her claws are somewhat like hands, enabling her to be grabby with long silver nails, resembling steels. The tail is large and elongated with white faded stripes at the close to the tip with crimson hair protruding. The face often confuses others; she almost looks like a mix of a cat and a rabbit with blazing neon green eyes.
Overall Personality:
Adventurous and daring, she has a unique blend of determination, personal magnetism and penetrating insight. She is not one who is timorous to endeavor new set of challenges, whether it’s good or bad (in most cases, unfortunately, bad). While she fancies the element of risk, sometime the concept of perilous exhilaration and opportunities can lull her senses, thus becoming reckless and unable to foresee future consequences. The other half of sometime, she can get out of danger either by luck or smart thinking.
Imaginative, curious and receptive, she is intellectually bright and versatile, enabling her to explore different options before she makes her decision on what her next action will be. Once the decision is made, she sticks by it. One can rest assure that either a “yes” or a “not” is a strong guarantee. She is not one to change her mind easily unless there is a good reason, otherwise she’ll be just plain stubborn to a point of becoming inflexible with others. Like a bull, she can become unrelenting, unwilling
She is like a chameleon, alternating between being playful to tough or irritated to being sympathetic and kind. This doesn’t goes to say that she has a mood swing; but rather what lies in the moment. Consequently, she enjoys how she baffles others with her behavior, putting them off the train at every chance she can obtain just for the heck of it. She has youthful qualities; on one stand, she is someone who has surefire confidence and the next minute, she is reduced to her childish tendencies. She may stick her tongue out just out of spite, pull minor pranks or even make puppy-eye look to obtain what she desires. She remains a puzzle to others, leaving one to fail in understanding the many sides of her personality. Simply put, she is unpredictable.
Creativity and emotional sensitivity are often a part of her personal charm. Idealistic and aggressive with an inquisitive mind, she finds herself interested in the subject of social environment, psychology and education. She is constantly on the hunt for new and exciting ideas. If there is anything she can do that will benefit others, or particularly the environment and animals, then count her in. She will do everything she can in her power to give services a change, often turning herself into a martyr despite her awareness of what surrounds her.
Easily prone to mental restlessness, she can become bored and thus lacking mental stimulation resulting in scatter of energies on trivial pursuits. This side of her is unusual but often occurs when she does not find something to do. This is all the more reason why this young woman is on the hunt of doing something to stay active. She simply dislikes the idea of standing around, doing nothing. It is often an occurrence to find her fiddling around with strange devices she brought from home or simply reading novels to make up for idle time. The novel she reads? She seems to enjoy romance, adventure and real-life stories; although the adventure genre has the high preference coming from her.
It is not surprising to see her being extremely self-reliant and is easily prone to temperamental outbreaks when she finds the situation not in her favor when becoming meek and weak. Despite her quick anger, she is a forgiving person if one can give her time to let off steam. A social independence who does not require the approval from social lifestyle, she has the confidence which radiates if one can ignore her occasional clumsiness.
As her unpredictability runs strong, she often surprises others with her soft side. Despite her front-forward façade, she has a wealth of emotions, implying that she is sensitive and kind. Her nurturing side can bring life and hope to situations when the need arises, and of course, if her stubbornness doesn’t get in the way. Yet, if her resentful and temperamental side kicks in, she can become controlling, rigid and unbending. And it isn’t a pretty sight to see.
History: Across the span of time in another dimension lies a different planet where both humans and demons prosper in peace reveals a young healthy baby, Zoe, first-born child of Zarek and Sabena. Her father, a demon lord of their kind, the Makai was the laid-back type with mischief to match rules with a firm fist. The mother on the other hand, was the complete opposite. She had firm expectation of those around her and is highly adept in the skill of sorcery. The Makai race, a community of hell demons, is rare and only prospers in one dimension and one planet; only offering the myth surrounding them to other places. It is only occasional that these breed travel to other places for mission works, often further induce the spread of myths.
As the young babe Zoe grows older, it became apparent that she was not about to outgrow her untamed side much to the dismay of her mother. She did everything she could get her hands on, wherever her curiosities lead her by the nose and dump her into loads of trouble. And when consequences kick in, she favors her father’s punishment than her mother’s; further inducing the distance between the mother and daughter.
Despite the strain between the two females, the young Zoe spent her every waking moments training nonstop—often to a point she forgets to eat which allowed her hunger pang to reduce with passing time. It was a benefit given due to her demon inheritance, otherwise, had she been human would she have died in vain. The reason behind Zoe’s constant training was her dream to become like her father. It seemed that both she and he shared a lot of similarities, although the differences were that she was much more temperamental and utterly stubborn than her father was (traits she gained from her mother, unfortunately). Her father was someone she idolized; he was a daiyoukai who achieved level six form and there was only one other youkai who also achieved the same impossible feat. She wanted to be the next one to do so and she aims for it; although it is highly unlikely due to her mixed race as her mother would bluntly point out. Zoe would often find herself uninterested in the art of sorcery and wound up in an argument with her mother over how she should train or what to learn.
It was only a year later when she received the sudden news of a new member in the family. Unlike some other older siblings, she was not envious of her young little sister. In fact, she found herself protective and willing to help out in the baby care chores which pleased her mother greatly. This showed that Zoe had maternal instincts and is not all sparks and fire.
Months passed and a gift was given to Zoe by her father. She received a small black silk pouch and opened to find herself staring at a charming silver ring. She soon learned that it was a ring which allowed her to morph her clothes to any style she prefers. The only drawback is that if she took the ring off, she’d be bare naked. Her father explained that he would have her behind if this occurs; for he believes strongly in the virginity of his race. Virginity among the Makai was a prized possession as once it is broke by its intended partner; it allows the bonding of two. This brings the couple the ability to sense each other’s wellbeing and whereabouts.
Nevertheless as years elapsed once more and troubles is brewed once again by Zoe. It seemed that she could never outgrow as mother would have liked. This sparked an argument so intense that Zoe found herself shocked by her mother’s punishment. It was a punishment that her mother had been considering on; to send her off to another dimension and be forced to become someone else’s personal advisor. Yet to twist the situation around, she had decided to send her first daughter off to a planet set in the past where she could learn to let loose her stubbornness and wild side.
Despite her father’s quieted plea to calm the situation down, the mother would have none of it. Unfortunately, a trait of which Zoe inherited, the mother will not change her mind once she made her decision. Rather than dumping her off out of nowhere into somebody’s lap, the mother sent note ahead of time to her intended target and destination ahead of time. She then forced Zoe to leave her home to travel on a so-called mission for self-learning and self-improvement.
