CATEGORY PRIZE
the prize for category 01 is: --

CHARACTER INFORMATION
name: aki minomoto
alias: none
nickname: a, miss away, anrui
gender: female
age: 20(?)
ethnicity: japanese(?)
skin: extremely fair
eyes: deep red; slanted and almond-shaped; has an insomniac's 'raccoon eyes' (dark patches above and below her eyes)
hair: very light 'cornsilk' blonde; though she cut it extremely short on her own, it has since grown out a tiny bit past her shoulders (a half-inch to an inch past) and is still quite uneven, parted in the middle; usually kept in two short, spikey pigtails at the bottom back of her head with loose bangs
height: about 4'11" (very short)
weight: 76 pounds
build: aki has a typical asian woman's frame, except a little smaller. she's very thin, and thus has thin limbs and is small-chested (a-cup). she stands pigeon-toed, meaning her toes point inward, and with a little bit of a leaned-back slouch. because her face is also a bit child-like, she looks somewhat like a life sized porcelain doll
tattoos/scars/etc: scars: scar extending from the top of her left shoulderblade to mid-way up the left side of her neck; scar from the top of her left arm almost to her right armpit; smaller scars (3) below her left shoulder on her arm; scar extending from between her left middle and ring fingers to an inch or so past her elbow (both sides of the arm); vertical scar on her right wrist
weapons: psychic abilities, ofuda (to summon shikigami, spirit familiars -- kuro is one of them)
accessories: ball-chain necklace
pets: kuro (large male cat, black/shorthair), navet (female cat, gray/shorthair), sakura (female cat, gray and white/longhair)
notes: aki possesses a wide range of psychic abilities; telekinesis, clairvoyance, occasional precognition, levitation, the works -- she can also act as a medium; she doesn't like sleeping and sometimes goes days without doing so.


aki's favorite outfits:
(note: don't forget her necklace!)
remember that originality counts; you don't HAVE to draw these outfits.

01. white sketti strap shirt (don't forget her scars), black cargo shorts, heavy black boots

02. long-sleeved, cotton shirt (light gray), white pinhead lace skirt, too-big combat boots -- as seen in first ref pic

03. white t-shirt (and sometimes above stated hoodie), tattered light gray jeans, combat boots -- as seen in first ref pic

CHARACTER PERSONALITY
aki has an extremely disinterested personality and aloof attitude. with the exception of her husband, she is quiet and withdrawn around everyone. if she does speak, she does so with brutal honesty. in actuality, there are three people she cares about and will interact with -- sonkun, samantha, and yanagi (in her own indirect, cold way) -- but doesn't really like anyone else. hates crowds and stays in her apartment as much as possible. she dislikes sleeping, but her insomnia doesn't seem to affect the way she carries herself.

a is not the type to apply herself to anything. she's actually rather wise and knows more about people than she lets on, but is extremely self-kept.

CHARACTER INFORMATION
name: undead sweet
alias: undead
nickname: none
gender: female
age: appears to be 18
ethnicity: none really, she was created (made in japan, that is)
skin: pale
eyes: sky blue; 'unemotional' eyes
hair: blonde; very stubborn and wirey, her hair is usually parted in the middle and kept pulled into two large, spikey pigtails on sides of her head with the exception of bangs, which are almost shoulder-legth and are also parted -- otherwise, it's left down and unkept
height: 5'4"
weight: 100 pounds
build: lean but athletic; she doesn't look it, but undead is quick, strong, and somewhat of a hard-hitter
tattoos/scars/etc: her left arm is extremely scarred (small scars, mostly across: not up and down) from accidental contact with weapons she holds with her right; her right is also scarred, but not as severely -- mainly at the points where her weapons attach themselves
weapons: her main weapon consists of five freddy-like blades (around 7 inches each) that sit atop her right fingers and a metal cuff that wraps around the wrist. wires that hold the blades in place go through the cuff and come out at the back bottom of her hand and under her skin, where they attach to tendons so that they can be used as her own appendages; after she dies and begins to appear in the visions and dreams of her 'son' (a clone produced from her egg), the weapon seems to have taken over her arm as a claw and the wires cover her skin completely
accessories: usually a weapon of some sort
notes: undead works mostly at night; she has very rarely seen sunlight; after a few years she began to feel caged and wanted out in the time leading up to her death.


undead's favorite outfits:
(note: don't forget to read the information above this)
undead is usually nude due to a variety of reasons. however, when she is dressed by her creators, the clothes are usually very dark; black, grays, and darker shades of blues or earth tones. sundresses to trenchcoats. ..be creative.

CHARACTER PERSONALITY
undead was created as the govenment's legal assassin. after many failed attempts, she was the first of their experiments to work. as to be expected, newly 'born' undead is quiet and seems unemotional, fights with absolutely no restraint, and sometimes lashes out at enemies. it was only after she began feeling did her creators decide it was time to terminate her life. after her rather gruesome death, she returned in the form of visions and dreams of her clone, a boy named saito, as a sharp-tongued girl with a startling claw -- urging him to take revenge on the people who killed her (which he does, eventually..).

CATEGORY PRIZE
the prize for category 05 is:

CHARACTER INFORMATION
name: yoko "miyabi" koujin (miyabi reeves after marriage)
alias: miyabi
nickname: meeb
gender: female
age: 17
ethnicity: japanese
skin: albino.. pretty damn pale
eyes: deep red-pink (albino)
hair: white or extremely light gray; parted directly down the middle into two very large curles at the sides of her head -- think floppy bunny ears -- that reach her shoulders and cover her ears; bangs reach to about her jaw bone and are also parted in the middle
height: 5'0"
weight: 90 pounds
build: skinny, lithe, and quick; she has the build of an active person
tattoos/scars/etc: n/a
weapons: lighters, firecrackers, fireworks, a flamethrower, small carrot-shaped rockets, hand granades, matches, and sometimes gasoline
accessories: always has her royal blue pilots' goggles with her, around her neck, or atop her head; bunny ear headband (were real bunny ears before she was married)
notes: miyabi IS a pyromaniac -- so bad that she once drove a gasoline truck into a lake, let the contents leak out, and then lit the whole thing on fire; she does have a reason for setting almost everything on fire, but it's not known to many. also, in bunny form, meeb's clothes stay her size; before she had the clothes, she was a regular bunny with blue pilot goggles.


meeb's favorite outfits:
01. long-sleeved cotton shirt, striped olive green and light blue (actually belongs to issac); baggy khaki pants with orange reflective strips on the pockets and bottom hem of the legs; black combat boots; blue pilot's goggles (usually around her neck); bunny ears or bunny ear headband - as seen in first ref picture

CHARACTER PERSONALITY
she's sarcastic, vindictive, stubborn, and quite snappy, but seems to have a nice or clingy-girly moment every once in a great while. at the beggining of her story, miyabi is a small albino bunny (with blue goggles) who turns into a human girl with bunny ears when the british-born isaac (now her husband) hugs her and turns back after a short period of time. she turned permanently human when she began to return his love, and her bunny ears became a headband that she still wears often.

CATEGORY PRIZE

gender: male
age: 26
ethnicity: japanese
skin: a healthy-looking pale peach
eyes: deep red

S.E.'s favorite outfits:
S.E. usually wears casual but stylish clothing; he is always well-dressed and good-looking.. collar shirts, leather pants, black shoes, what have you. be creative with his outfits.

S.E.'s personality:
the typical nice guy, he's usually polite to just about everyone, displays an unusual amount of chivalry, and is especially nice to his friends; he's close with both yanagi and samantha, and is also aquatinted with aki -- whose husband (also a close friend of the group), sonkun, tends to be jealous of the charming S.E.; basically, he's the epitome of everything one could want in a very good-looking boyfriend.
