xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPhysicalityxxxxxx
Physical Build: (Gangly, obscenely muscular, slender, this is where your werewolf form is placed as well, etc..) Weight: (Assumed and/or literal) Height: 5'7 Hair Color: Brown Eye Color/Distinctions: Green Scars/piercings/markings: Two runes branded into the palms of her hands Habits: (Nail picking, inappropriate mannerisms, impatient foot tapping etc..) Personality: Mirai is, in general, a normal girl for her age, she's bubbly , kind and helpful with a passion for reading and her academic studies, classmates have even described her as having a 'professor mode' when she finds something she's not encountered before or makes a breakthrough in her research. Despite being otherwise normal, Mirai does posess a counter her positive attitude. She's incredibly intelligent and knows how to get what she wants most effectively, be ith through diplomacy, coercion, or just plain and simple fear . Several times she's been known to do unspeakable things purely because she feels they are necessary , and seemingly enjoyed it, but openly states she would rather not have to and always tends to give people at least one chance before she loses her temper and feels she has to resort to measures others would call extreme. Situations like these have led to many people working below her to view her as sadistic and cruel for openly making examples of people through their punishments, but at the same time fair.
It's hypothesized that this duality is because of the fact that Mirai has the memories of a 70+ year old man, who was not the kindest of people, mulling around in her head, making her do things she possibly wouldn't do, but as she herself seems to be able to easily justify her own actions through very clear logic, it's difficult to say. All in all, Mirai is an odd genius with a good heart who's bad side you want to stay far away from.
Biography: Kept relatively hidden away in the Green Zone is a secret known by a privileged few , including the Elusive Eight, that secret is young savant and aspiring runic researcher, Mirai. Appropriately named , Mirai is watched by many who are considered influential , especially those of the Red Riding Hood organization due to her talent for translating runes, and the fact she's the key to unlocking decades of research.
Prior to her birth , there was a researcher going only by the name Render, a genius with runes be it translation, application, he could do it all and was rumored to even have created a few of his own. He worked well into his later years at which point his body began to break down and he realized he didn't have much time left. Not wanting to lose his life's work, Render set to work on a new project demanding a child of Runic descent, gender didn't matter so long as they were healthy and strong, and hours upon hours of his own time and energy. This process took several months before it was even close to being ready, but time proved to have been well spent as the researcher finished his task, and the child was brought to him not long after, a young brunette girl with bright green eyes . Render spared no time and quickly ordered the girl's hands branded with hot iron, permanently scarring her with two of his own original rune designs, Architect , and Sculptor. After that he had the girl's head shaved and tattooed while she was unconscious with his newest creation.
With his last ounces of energy Render branded the back of his own head as well as the girl's with his newest rune designed to transfer memories, and transfer they most certainly did. Shortly after the process, Render succumbed to the ravages of time while his quarters were cleared out and renovated for Mirai, thus began her new life.
Mirai's development wasn't at all dramatically changed, aside from a few tics and outbursts when she was upset reminiscent of Render, she seemed a perfectly normal girl, never even questioning the scars on the back of her hands . She never had to want for much, she was fed , clothed and schooled but was otherwise allowed to do what she wanted as long as she had an escort, though eventually she was brought before several members of the RHO who gave her a thorough physical inspection before putting her in a room with a werewolf gone mad , shackled to the wall with just enough length to barely reach Mirai at the other end as she cowered in terror. The wolf lunged and snapped at her repeatedly, swiping and leaving lines of blood where he managed to make contact until he hooked her clothes and was able to pull her closer. In her panic Mirai slapped at him repeatedly , screaming to be saved until the wolf suddenly fell onto its back, shrieking as tearing and snapping sounds filled the room. Unknowingly Mirai had used the rune on her right hand , Sculptor, and branded the wolf with it as well, then subconsciously began to tear it apart.
It was shortly after this that Mirai was given a handler of sorts, a person that became her mentor and helped provide her with anything she needed as she continued to grow and use her free time to learn about runes, their application, and even making new ones.

Body Runes
Classification: Body Runes Scholar
Rank: (Anywhere from novice, intermediate, expert, to master. To become a master, one must first have the prerequisite of having substantial renown.)
Shelf Life: (How long has your character been the rank you have chosen? Are there multiple tiers in which they completed at certain ages? Be descriptive)
Body Rune Type: Sculptor
Passive: On physical contact a copy of the rune is placed onto the surface of organic matter, particularly that of living creatures. This temporary brand allows the rune wielder to use the abilities without maintaining physical contact so long as the subject is within the area of affect.
Body Rune Abilities: Sculptor manipulates flesh and organic matter in ways that are, in a word, disgusting. The effects vary depending on the skill of the user but the lower tier allows for effective mending of injuries so long as they aren't lethal and the user has knkowledge of the organism affected. (Fill out the section below. You don't have to come up with fancy names, but please list the type your character primarily uses, the force behind those attacks, and a healthy post duration and cooldown. If you have only one type, then you are allotted 6 ability points to an extent, but if you have split your time between a secondary Body rune type, it will stay at 3 to an extent. Remember! To be proficient in one is far greater than being proficient in two. Take notice that only masters can draw runes onto themselves whilst in combat. Your cooldown should reflect this if you are not a master; also keep in mind that hard numbers or comparisons really help me understand how powerful these runes are for your character)
Basics of Anatomy (Tier 1): The user of the rune has come to understand the basics of anatomy in humans and most animals (likely through questionable means), and as such feels comfortable enough to use the rune for minor manipulation of the body and tissues. This level of understanding allows the user to use the rune to repair injuries dealt to the body but only to a certain extent. Injuries like lacerations, broken bones and some burns are easy to fix , however at the basic level of understanding things like ruptured organs or concussions cannot be repaired. At the same time, things like shock, and blood loss cannot be treated at all. Beyond repairing the body, the Sculptor rune can force the body to contort in various ways, often painful ones, including forcing limbs to move certain directions, forcing dislocations , and making the flesh wring and twist away like molding clay. (Lasts: However long the user keeps physical contact with the subject, or only 5 posts once the subject has been branded with the rune. Cooldown: 1 post after the end of the brand counter)
Advanced Understanding: At this point the user has learned enough about living organic matter that they can shape it as they wish while still keeping the subject alive. This can be used to shape the subject into a number of horrific and unnatural ways , often forming things that are by no means new beings, but rather monstrosities molded from living creatures. (Lasts: However long the user keeps physical contact with the subject, or only 5 posts once the subject has been branded with the rune. Cooldown: 1 post after the end of the brand counter)
(Optional for non secondary users, and experts)
Ability Name 4: (Lasts: Cooldown:)
Ability Name 5: (Lasts: Cooldown:)
Ability Name 6: (Lasts: Cooldown:)
(Optional for Masters only) True Understanding: At the level of true understanding the user has learned how to do incredible things with their rune, not simply healing injuries or shaping people into monsters, but stitching lives together to make new living creatures. The level of anatomical understanding is so precise that the user can bring living bodies together, dismembered or otherwise, and seamlessly attach various parts to one another until it forms a single functioning creature. It's speculated in the notes that the rune can even be used to grant humans new functioning limbs. The idea of wings has been heavily theorized. (Lasts: However long the user keeps physical contact with the subject, or only 5 posts once the subject has been branded with the rune. Cooldown: 1 post after the end of the brand counter)
Ability Name 8: (Lasts: Cooldown:)
Body Rune Secondary Type:Architect
Passive: (Place all those that apply to your usage of your secondary Body rune)
Body Rune Abilities: (Fill out the section below. You don't have to come up with fancy names, but please list the type your character secondarily uses, the force behind those attacks, and a healthy post duration and cooldown. If you have only one type, please delete this segment) Architect is sort of the inverse of Sculptor in that rather than affecting living matter, it affects only materials that come from the earth such as soil, stone, crystal and metal, and shape them in ways that do not occur in nature. However unlike Sculptor contact of the rune to the surface of the material must remain for the effects to take place.
Tier 1: Allows the shaping of stone and soil within a range of 10 meters upon contact of the rune against the surface. (Lasts: The effects of the rune are indefinite unless returned to normal by the user Cooldown: 1 post)
Tier 2: (Lasts: Cooldown:)
Advanced Understanding: At this point the understanding of earthly materials is greater and extends to crystals and metals, shaping them in ways not found in nature. However the control over metal at this point only allows the user to manipulate pure metals like iron. (Lasts: The effects of the rune are indefinite unless returned to normal by the user Cooldown: 1 post)
(Optional for Experts Only)
Ability Name 4: (Lasts: Cooldown:)
Tier 5: (Lasts: Cooldown:)
(Optional for Masters Only)
Ability Name 6: (Lasts: Cooldown:)
True Understanding: The highest level of understanding comes with the highest level of control. This tier gives the rune user the ability to warp earthly material in ways that humans and most runics alike would only be able to dream of, affecting anything within the range of the user to the point of warping buildings and infrastructure without risking breaking them apart. (though the same cannot be said for whatever is inside of them)
(Lasts: The effects of the rune are indefinite unless returned to normal by the user Cooldown: 1 post)
Body Rune Type: Mind Rune
Passive: (Place all those that apply to your usage of your primary Body rune type such as having the potential to infuse runes onto the skin or item for longer periods of time)
Body Rune Abilities: The user must carve, draw, etch, burn or paint the rune into a surface, the size may vary as you like but never the details or shape. Should someone step into or touch the rune, they are subsequently locked into the rune's effects; causing vivid hallucinations at the will of the rune's user. Terrify your subject with horrific visions of eldritch beings that drive men to madness, or pacify them with blissful sights and smells, the rune effects every sense and its limits are wholly dependent on the creativity of the user. It is worth noting that hallucinations specifically regarding subject's memories, specific thoughts or fears , cannot be made unless the user has explicit knowledge of them.
Basic use: Despite being the basic level, this rune's abilities are nothing to scoff at. Even at this level the Mind Rune can create vivid hallucinations at the will of the user, making even a small space seem infinite and even effects the subject's senses. However unless the rune occupies the entirety of an enclosed space the subject could easily escape the effects by moving out of the space the rune occupies, forcing the user to either herd the subject within the confines of the rune by means of the hallucinations, or to create one large enough that they can reliably keep the subject within the confines with ease. (Lasts: 5 posts or until the subject manages to escape the area. Cooldown: 5 posts)
(Optional for Masters only) Advanced Use: The hallucinations of this tier of the ability are intense enough that the subject can think they are running, but in truth will not have moved an inch, showing the level of skill the user has over this rune. This removes the possibility of the subject escaping on their own, and leaves the only reliable way to escape it to have them forcibly removed, or distracting/incapacitating the user , thus dissipating the effects. Lasts: 10 posts Cooldown: 5 posts
