Name-
Red Yusuke-
The name Red did not come from her mother, as far as she knows she did not have a name until after she had established a bar in a distant city, and the patrons in her own bar began calling her Red for reasons she did not know. Her last name Yusuke comes from her father’s side of the family. Her father was the establisher of the secretive clan of the Yusuke, which hadn’t lasted for more then 12 years. Rival clan’s that were not known very well, such as the Yusuke clan, were in war with Red’s fathers clan. After a grueling 3-year war with the neighboring unknown clans, the Yusuke clan was eventually wiped out, leaving only few woman and children that were able to escape to fend on their own. Red and her mother were part of those few people, and they had found themselves without a father and a husband. They both eventually made it away from the land, where Red’s mother had passed away. She never bothered to change her last name, since the Yusuke clan was never well known.
Age-
23-
When Red was a small girl, no more then four years old, her father had left to fight in the war-between-clans that had lasted three whole years. That left her at age seven when her mother and herself had to flee towards distant lands to survive. The two traveled for two years before her mother had passed away of reasons unknown to Red. When her mother had passed, she was only nine, and was forced to find the nearest place to live. For five more years she had fended for herself, and lived on her own in a small town. At age fourteen, Red had started a plan to build her own place, with a bar, rooms for wanderers, and anything else people may need. At the time, she was in love with the woodland creatures, the fox and the wolf. So that was her plan, to build a place with the theme of the fox and the wolf, the swift and the mean. For another two years she worked on the plans, and when she was a little over 16, the place was open or business. For a year the Fox and War Bar was up and running, but soon declined and was out of business. Two years past after the place was empty, and Red found herself in love, heartbroken, confused, in love, and heartbroken again. Which leaves her at the age of 19, with the once confusing, but now perfect love of Rayne Kusakabe? But that soon shattered as well….
Height-
5’9-
Red is of normal height, from her fathers side of the family. Her mother was never the exceptionally tall type, so Red had figured that she must had inherited her height from her father’s side, since she didn’t know exactly how tall he was. Red’s father had left to fight in the clan-war when she was a little girl, so her memory of his height was of little use to her now that she is in her woman-hood.
Appearance-
With now longer, rich blond hair that partially covers one of her dark crimson eyes, Red wears typically normal, everyday cloths. On occasion she will walk out of her room wearing clothes that would suit a fighter, or a warrior, in which she is as well. The cloths of a warrior include a dark crimson, almost black leather outfit that is designed for swift movement, and also provides an armor type of resistance to blades and such. The leather is almost like a second skin, and does not reflect light as normal leather would. Once the outfit is on, it forms to its wearers every curve, every shape. The torso half of the leather outfit is layered with a tough armor like leather, that in battle can look like metal armor, but in the dark crimson essence. The arms are not bulky such as normal armor, but cut off into the tight thin leather that holds little resistance, but wont slow the movement down. The whole of the torso is only slightly thicker then the rest of the leather, and so it is not bulky either.
Race-
Half demon/half human-
Red is able to look human, yet still use the energy, or powers as some call it, that her half demonic self can wield. Since mastering this technique, most people do not suspect her of being what she is, and her not using that side of her energy also contributes to the look of her being only human. Once she has averted into being her half demonic self, Red has the slender shape of her human body, and her head is the same as always, but out of her thick blond hair sprouts red and black fox ears. Her eyes take on an edge that is impossible to maintain in her human self, and shows the slight hint of the fox inside her. As well as the ears, a long, black and red fox tail emerges. The strength in that tail is unimaginable, and can help her stealth when moving at a fast speed. When making tight turns, the tail acts as a rudder of sorts, so she does not lose balance such as her human self would have done. When using her energy of the demon, her hands take on an almost claw-like demeanor, a dark purple glow contrasts to her fingers forming into almost sharp-like blades, but are actually claws. When in this transformation, her hands turn black as night. Along with the claw-shaped hands, Red is able to wield higher amounts of her energy when she is in this stage of her ability.
Abilities-
Along with the ever-wondrous powers of the demon, Red is able to control the chakra flow within her. She had learned that she had this ability within herself when in a life or death battle with a man she had been in love with. While trying to stay alive and out-smart the man, she had felt a burning sensation inside of her; one that felt like it would burn a whole within her chest. He was using a spiritual energy inside him, which enabled him to manipulate and control certain things that a normal person would only fathom to try to do. While watching what he was doing, and dodging the attacks at the same time, Red found herself attempting to do hands signs such as he had been doing behind her back, so he would not know what she was doing. Even though she didn’t know what she was doing, Red felt that burning sensation grow when she had done a hand sign behind her back, but nothing would come of it. At the end of that battle, she was alive, and so was the man she once loved. She had managed to escape completely, and was out of reach of him for the time. Unbeknownst to her, he had suppressed his anger and would not try to kill her anymore, but Red was still terrified since she was no fighter at the time. When she was alone, Red channeled that burning sensation towards her hands, and moved her hand into a single hand sign. That had triggered something inside of her, and a puff of smoke had appeared beside her. A poorly made clone was crumpled onto the ground where the smoke had cleared. It was wearing the same cloths as her, with the same rich, blond hair, but the rest of the body was contorted and didn’t look anything like her. With a twitching eye, Red ran from the room. Therein she found herself practicing and researching this strange power, and soon enough came to mastering the clone technique. She soon found that this was only a shadow clone, and started to research on everything she could fins about this new technique, and what it was all about. This new energy inside of her is known as Chakra, and Red soon mastered everything she could find about this strange spiritual energy. Her best-mastered skill with the chakra is ninjutsu, and everything she could learn with ninjutsu she had learned. With her chakra, she had mastered her demon magic/energy (See Race).
Skills-
Swordsmanship/Hand-to-hand fighting/Blade-work-
Before Red had mastered her chakra, or even the demonic energy, she had been familiar with the way of the blade. Along with small blades, Red had become a master of using the sword. The long while she had been alone in the small town, she had been learning to use a sword to better protect herself. And she knew, that if she were to get better and to master the skill, that anything in her path, even bullets from a gun, would not be able to get past the blade. Using the sword to Red is now second nature, since she was only nine; the sword had become a unified, daily practice. To her, without her sword she felt naked, felt vulnerable to everything in the world. As long as some sharp weapon was on her being, she felt somewhat safe. If there were numerous small blades, such as shuriken, kunai, daggers ECT, with her, she would still feel the paining regret of not having her sword with her. When her sword was with her, in its intricately designed baldric and scabbard, she felt she could defeat anyone, and that she was someone. With her sword, she had learned that using the smaller weapons was crucial, or she might as well leave without her sword. If anything were to happen to the sword in battle, she would have nothing but her own body to fight with, and that would not last long if her opponent had a weapon. Throwing knives and hitting the spot wasn’t her best skill, but she couldn’t say that she was bad. Red had worked with the small projectile weapons until she felt that she was comfortable, but had not completely mastered them. Still, throwing precisely was a must if Red wanted to be better then her oppoenents.
Bio-
Name-Red Yusuke
Red Yusuke was born in a small town that nobody really knows about. This town was on an unmarked island and was her paradise until she was 12. When she was 12, a group of bandits had sailed by the island and decided to claim it as theirs. The bandits had killed every one in the town except for Red, she was fortunate enough to hide away from them on their own ship. Once they had killed everyone and were scowering the island to mark the places they were to build things, Red had crawled out of her hiding place and looked at the massacre. The first person her eyes laid upon was her mother. She loved her mother with all her heart. She didn't have a father, but she had a brother.
She hadn't seen her brother until she was 16, at her own bar. Red decided to leave the men on the island to die, so she summoned what powers she had at her young age to aid the ship away from the island. It worked, she sailed away alone, with no idea where she was heading. She then stumbled upon a small town, in which she soon had accomplished opening her own bar. There she had met many friends, and a brother she never had. The bar was a success for a time, and then eventually died out, so she set out for different establishments to stay at. Two had caught her attention, The Ninja Rave, and the Kusakabe Clan's Bath and Teahouse. The Rave was her longtime home that she had stayed at, made friends and had her losses, but once everything calmed down at the Rave, Red began to fight and build her skills with magic and the way of the blade. She was training almost every day, getting better. Then she stumbled upon the Teahouse.
She had became better friends with a person she had met at the Rave, Rayne Kusakabe. He and his brother Ryo let her stay at the Bath and Teahouse, in which she and Rayne soon were the best of friends. Then Rayne had told her his true feelings, and her to him as well, they were now unable to be apart. But the strange lives that they lived soon got in the way and they saw each other less and less, but never gave up on what they had. This was where she resides, the Kusakabe clan's bath and Teahouse. With her many friends and her one love. Everything soon changed as Rayne couldn't control his shinobi ways, and had to make a sacrifice to save everyone he cared for and loved. He ran himself through with a katana, leaving everyone behind, including Red. Months passed, and Red had trouble moving on, until one night an unexpected visitor appeared on her window seal. Snake and Red talked, and he helped her get through yet another loss.
Rayne's reincarnation self, Ken, was still friends with Red, but he wasn't the same person, and she couldn't bring herself to love him like she had Rayne. That night Red and Snake were back together, but with a problem rising. Rayne had returned. Everything started to go downhill from there. He had returned on her behalf, battled his way out of hell to be in her arms. Life was getting difficult.
And with all that jazz Red found her way out of Snakes arms and back into Rayne's, where she is to this day. Regret is a large part of her life. But, she has a very large secret that she has kept to herself, and hasn't revealed it to anyone. She had been killed by a Kid, she didn't know his name, but he was sent by an insane man named Dan that was bent on killing Snake. She had got in the way of him killing Snake, and he didn't forget that. She was killed in the Teahouse, the Kid had stolen her soul from her body that had been burnt in a fiery blaze, and she never got it back. What nobody knows is that she cannot be alive, to the fullest, until she gets her soul back. Everybody thinks she is alive and well, but she knows that she isn't.
Now Rayne knows.
Her eyes have started to look lifeless, she has been relying on her demon inside to keep her alive. If she doesn't get her soul back, she won't live a month more, at tops...She told him, and if they can find a way to seal her body to the demon inside of her that is keeping her body moving, it will buy her more time to track down the kid, so she can get her soul back and return to living on her own.
Only a month had been granted for her to live, and the winding down hours came all too soon. The demon inside of her isn't the most active demon, and is quite lazy. If she were to die, the demon would have had to transfer to another body, or suffer. He granted her how much ever time she needed to get her soul back, at the right time. If little more moments had passed, she would have been dead and gone. She had no way of binding her body to the demon, and the miracle she needed had happened. She had been thinking on using two forbidden and highly dangerous ninjutsu and sealing techniques, but that would have cost another their life, and she would rather have died than do what was needed to keep her alive. Now she has all the time she needs to stay alive, well partially.
Before Red Yusuke had met those last few days, she had suddenly been sucked back into the vessel where her soul resided. The pain was excruciating, and she hadn’t known why she was there again. And then she was alive, in a seemingly pitch black room in some unknown establishment. She couldn’t move, couldn’t talk, couldn’t to anything but lay there and panic in her own mind. Then a familiar voice came to her, Hitori Hanzo. He explained what was going on, what she was feeling, and where she was. He had resurrected her into a body, a girl names Emma’s body. The girl was blind, deaf, and mute, but was a great fighter and could use her body to its full extent. It took a long time for her to be able to move, she had to use a form of telepathy. The energy linked into her veins and muscles, and with a thought she was able to move her before unusable limbs. The same power allowed her to speak, she could convert the words either aloud or into the minds of whomever it was she was speaking to. The same concept allowed her to ‘see’ just not in the same way any normal person could see. She used the vibrations through the ground and the energy waves through the air to tell where people were, to know where objects stood. This took months for her to realize, and years for her to perfect. She spent that time in the Rave, Hitori had long since disappeared. Snake was there, as well as Dan, Ari’ Andrr Knore, the Kid whom had killed her. This was her family, for Rayne had gone away as well. The boy that her and Rayne had raised and had witnessed her death had gone away as well, leaving a gaping hole in her heart. Rayne showed up from time to time for short periods, but would leave again. Snake went away as well, and she was left there alone most of the time. One day Red had tried to kill herself, she was sick of her life and tired of the people she loved leaving her alone. Snake was there, he stopped her and was pissed that she would even think of doing something such as this. He told her that her death would impact others more then she could realize, and it took her time after that incident to recover once again.
Then Rayne didn’t come back, she never saw him again. Red started a new bar and Inn, called the Red Moon. A new life, one where she could start new and rebuild what has been broken in her past. Fate knocked on her doorstep, a young girl had tried to steal bread from her refrigerator. Red of course stopped her, and found out that she was an orphan. The woman took the girl under her wing and cared for her like she was her own. The two had a bond, like mother and daughter, so Red decided to adopt her. She didn’t have a family of her own, and this was the closest she had to family. She had taken a hiatus from her home, and returned to the Rave. There she met Ari once again, who told her the whereabouts of Snake. He was in the forest that surrounded the Rave, dealing with something called the core, the soul defense of the Hangout. He told her where to go, and so Red took off to find him. She felt she had needed to see a familiar face, and he was one that had such a deep impact to her past. Snake wasn’t pleased with her arrival, but he welcomed her nonetheless. He linked her with the core of the Rave, and through that link Snake allowed her to see once more, through the forest of course, but it brought her to tears being able to see colors, shapes, detail.
Red left and returned to the Red Moon, only to be greeted by a bounty hunter by the name of Paladin. He had a hit on her head, and he had a hit on Rayne Kusakabe as well. Paladin told her he had killed Rayne, and that her lover had been willing to do, welcome it. This outraged Red, and a small battle pursued. After the battle Red was able to talk him out of killing her, and the two came to terms that they would have people after both of them now. Paladin explained that she would need to be able to see again, and to function like a normal human being in order to pose a threat to their attackers. He brought in a doctor, a cybernetics doctor, and they began to operate on her. This was an excrutating ordeal, Red barely being able to stay conscious through the hours it took for them to reconstruct her eyesight, her vocal cords, and her body in order to not be paralyzed anymore. She slept for days, and when she woke up she didn’t remember anything. She had opened her eyes and initially freaked the ******** out at being able to see clearly, pain shot through her whole body as she moved without the aid of the telekinetics.
Now she had to get used to everything a second time, and the process had allowed her to forget memories that were undesirable to her. One of those memories was of Rayne.
Her memories had returned, her body was back to normal use, and she disappeared for years.
Red found herself in a place called King Solomons. It was an antique/book shop in a place called Halloweentown. She met a few nice people there, but one day she went out of the shop because she was feeling odd. Fuzzy eyesight, sluggish movements, and then everything went black. The surgery that had helped her become a normal person again had failed, and she had to learn to use telekinetics and telepathy again. Not 24 hours after she had to revert to her powers to do simple day to day functions, she found herself face to face with a man named Froste. He came to her aid when a man had threatened her and she was gearing to fight him. Froste stopped her from engaging the man, so a man she had met at Solomons stepped in and fought for her. Froste showed her a vision, a vision of Snake and Hitori! You can only imagine what this did to her.
After chasing Marshall around Halloween town for a few days, they finally met up again and Marshall revealed to her more of what she wanted to know. Not what had happened to them, but more or less why Froste was appearing to her now, and not sooner. Snake had given Marshall his headband, the steel plated one that represented his family, his clan. This was a huge blow to her heart. It was a symbolization that he was really gone for good, and that this time...He wasn't coming back.
Headband in tow, Red left Halloween town with the knowledge that Marshall still needed to bring her back to the Rave, as Snakes last wish to show her something. It wasn't a good time for her, she wanted to find a woman. A woman that she despised more then anyone. Akako Akari had gotten between them so many times, but she was a part of Snake's life nonetheless. Red had rented out a small apartment in Barton, planning on giving herself some time to think about how she was going to approach the other woman with the news.
One morning as she had just finished getting ready for the day, Red stepped into the small walk in closet...And found herself standing in the streets of a city she had never seen before.
Sigil, The City of Doors.
This is where her life starts again, away from the hell that was the Rave, Halloween town, and her past. She ended up running into Akako and told her the news. Akako freaked, but the two were interrupted and promised to speak more later on the subject.
Red ended up running into the Master Librarian, a man whom had much say in the going on in Sigil. He was a man of great power, and so far it seemed she had made a great ally. They went to a meeting for the United Workers Party, the majority of big wigs around Sigil were there minus the head honcho. After a few pointless arguements, Red and Thomas Bravot left, only to be met with a hoard of the undead.
To sum up the next part, Red and Bravot jumped into his limo and the limo took to the air, scaring the s**t out of her considering her only way of Sight was through the touch of the ground. After said incident, Red went for a walk to clear her mind. She ended up in Ogre Street where a man was waiting, a little duel had been planned through a third party. The woman had a magic flowing through her nervous system which temporarily granted her sight, feel, and speech. This would prove to be more harmful to her then good. The duel progressed and it was more of a lesson in defense for her, as she hadn't fought without her Psionic abilities for some time and was very rusty. After acquiring a rather large gash on the backside of her head, they called the fight off and after a little conversation decided to go to her hotel for drinks.
