Name: Itsuki
Age: Between 8-10. (Itsuki's a year old!)
Birthday: Itsuki's real date of birth is still unknown. He manifested from his mirror on December 11th, but his birthday would technically be October 31, since he's a Halloween Simu.
Zodiac: Scorpio, Monkey.
Ethnicity: Caucasian? Beyond that, its hard to tell.
Sexuality: He's really too young to be thinking that far.
Crush(es): Yeste' and Kyoko. Like he'd admit it, though.
Alignment: Currently neutral. He hasn't thought much about it. Though, judging by these recent dark, violent dreams...
Companion: Urahara.

Favorites: Cup ramen (spicy beef!), knives, fish sticks (with hot sauce XP), watching the news, rooftops, learning, solitude.
Dislikes: Social situations, awkwardness, embarrassment or humiliation, failing at goals, feeling inferior, cooking (unless cup ramen counts...), being analyzed.
Quirks: Gets seasickness, wary of women, has some mother issues (?), seems to have something to prove.

Appearance: While Itsuki is at an average height for his age, he feels small around the sudden abundance of teenagers. His hair is brown, with some small highlights he picked up from his caretaker, in no real sort of style. He has pale skin (especially compared to Ura crying but not nearly as pale as Yeste's) and bright gold eyes. Most of the time he wears more subdued, dark earth tone colors. While blue is his favorite color, you'd be likely to find him wearing brown or black. His most noticeable feature is his blue headband tied at the left side of his head.

Tastes: Earth tone colors (for clothing) and blue (for everything else). He wears clothes that are comfortable and easy to move around in. At his age, what to wear is the last thing on his mind. His favorite foods always seem to be slightly spicy, for whatever reason. Though there doesn't seem to be relation between them (ramen and fish sticks... Instant-food?).

Personality, etc: Itsuki has a deep sense of inferiority that consumes the way he acts. Everything he does, he's always finding himself making sure it won't make him look bad to other people. His first experiences with other people (Urahara and Yeste') were failed first impressions in his mind and since he feels as if he has something to prove (To them? To himself? He's not sure.) and works at developing his "skills", whether social or physical. He tries to project himself as superior to Ian, not exactly intentionally, and thrives off her fear of him. It's painfully obvious to him that he lacks considerably in the social department and has worked hard (in his opinion) on getting better.
Itsuki isn't a total bundle of self-pity and anger. Despite his sometimes lack of self-confidence and fear of inferiority, he has a deep rooted sense of pride. Things must be perfect (in order to keep that pride intact) and thus he is always trying to change who he is (to become perfect and thus, be proud of himself). This can lead to stubbornness (or as he calls it: determination) and a somewhat black/white view of things (everything in life is a mission and there are only two outcomes: success and failure).
In a nutshell: Angst, inner dialogue, uneasiness, train, explore, analyze, set a goal, stick to it. The poor boy is more confused about the world and himself than he lets on and this shows through his conflict reaction methods (see above o.o; ).

Main goal in life: Previously, to figure out who or what he is. Now, he's more concerned in becoming as strong/perfect as possible.
Biggest Want: To impress those he cares about.
Biggest Fear: To fail utterly and lose them.

Most likely found doing: Training, meditating, exploring, watching television.
Most admired person: Urahara.

Origin: Itsuki is a simulacra who came from a mirror. His mirror is dark and laiden with gothic designs and was found by Neith with a matching necklace wrapped around the handle. The necklace was sold separately and first, and contained Urahara. Itsuki's mirror was sold on Halloween to Ian and he arrived in December.


Relationships

Itsuki has a hard time communicating and interacting with others, but he's managed to meet a few people without getting himself killed.


User Image
Urahara: He's only met him once when he was a teen, but Itsuki feels like he's known him forever! He strives hard to become stronger in order to make Ura proud the next time he sees him. Itsuki knows Ura is his Companion, which means there is a deep connection between them. He's more concerned with winning the boy's praise.


User Image
Yeste': Ian noticed Yeste's feelings for Itsuki quickly but the boy is more dense than a sack of wet chickens when it comes to love. He isn't sure if he likes her, but has accepted her as his friend. She fascinates him more than anything as she is a paradox in his black and white view--a woman and a warrior. Itsuki sought escape in becoming stronger and being able to fight better after seeing her first side, then has started to appreciate the finer things in life after discovering her as feminine as the rest of the female population. Unbeknownst to Itsuki, he seems to disapprove when others talk about being close to her and can actually get a little jealous.


User Image
Kyoko: He first noticed her beauty and enjoys the way she talks with him. Has some admiration for her knowledge and willingness to teach. He isn't sure if she likes him or if he would return those feelings. Takes what she had to teach him into consideration in his life. He doesn't look at her as quite a peer, but someone he cares about. He likes spending time with her, but he isn't as close to her as he is with Yeste'.


User Image
Kerryn: After meeting her, he found her a nice change from dealing with other Simu personalities. He enjoyed being challenged by her, as well as having someone who he found was near the same intellectual wavelength as himself. Her point of view on knowledge and the obtainment of it has left him wondering if she's right after all...


User Image
Zanna: She piqued his interest, such a powerful-looking woman. Mixed between intimidated and impressed, Itsuki is glad that Zanna has taken to Mat. Wouldn't mind getting to know her better, as she looks like someone who'd be a better ally than enemy.


User Image
Kami: Doesn't have much of an opinion one way or the other about her. He happens to like the fact that she can talk to him without much questioning or preconceived judgements. Her bright colors don't bother him as much as it does get his attention.


User Image
Sarria: If anything, he found himself relating to the little girl. Her cautious nervousness reminded Itsuki of how he must've appeared to others earlier on. Now that he's heard she has grown, he's interested in speaking to her again. He had earlier intended on grilling her about Companions, but isn't as interested anymore due to Kerryn's influence.


User Image
Ronin: Mentioned to him by Kyoko and Kerryn. He's rather interested to meet this boy now, feeling as though he's the only one who hasn't met him. Not only is he interested in daggers, but Kyoko speaks so highly of him. Frankly, Itsuki would just be happy to meet another male for a change.


User Image
Aurora: From just what he's heard, he isn't sure if she's just a sissy girl or some amazon Urahara put in her place. Believe me, he's coming up with a lot of different weird deductions about this girl he's never met.

Name: Ian
Age: 19
Zodiac: Taurus, Rat
Sexuality: Hetero
Other:
Ian is a pushover as far as caretakers are concerned. She is almost done getting adjusted to her life on Gaia, settling her educational affairs and getting her finances in order. Before, she was alone in her Durem apartment with her cat, Luc, as her only companion.
Now that Itsuki has arrived and taken over her life, things have changed in the household as well with the girl. She tries to provide more choices in the food department (although, she keeps the cup noodles since Itsuki seems to have taken a liking to ramen) as well as pay more attention to the boy. He doesn't seem to enjoy her presence, but he really does like the company. Itsuki uses her as his only test at social skills and thus is lacking in that department. She is easily scared by Itsuki's glares and words, but still worries about him. She sleeps on the couch, having given Itsuki her only bedroom.

First gift! From Yu-tan biggrin DD So nice to give everyone on the thread a gift... Gonna make sure Itsuki wears it, too. ^^;

User Image


Itsuki bought his first (real) weapon! They're two knives that stealthily turn into.. a.. o.o stick/baton! :O! He's named the knives Mana. Because... that's what he said. o.o;;

User Image

Received a Valentine's Day gift from Yeste'! Itsuki was pretty pleased to receive this... Thanks Sao and Yeste'! ^^ Itsuki decided to name the dagger as Lisn, a name that came to him after a bout of anger.

User Image

Another gift from Yeste'... This one, after her return from her trip from London. However, Itsuki didn't receive it until after coming back to the mainland from the rescue mission. He seems very fond of the necklace, for reasons unknown, and wears it constantly with his others.

Today I went grocery shopping and decided it to be best if I ventured down another street to get to my destination. I haven't been able to explore the town much, mostly out of fear of getting lost, and I had free time for once. It was an opportunity, I had decided, I should take advantage of.
The weather wasn't the best; it threatened to rain since this morning when the clouds consumed most of the sun for the greater part of the day. Of course, five minutes after leaving the house, it began to rain albeit lightly.
It wasn't that bad, a little drizzling never hurt anyone. However, it just gave a sense of dreariness to the day and grey tones to the city which dampened everyone's moods as much as their hair. It did not take me long to realize I had wandered off track and so I decided to... just wander some more. I was already somewhat unfamiliar with my surroundings and the rain really made me feel too lazy to put much effort into my travels.
That is when I began to feel as if I was being pulled or lead down the road. The same feeling as when you're homeward bound after a long day, or when you can sense the bakery drawing near when you're dying for a creamy cinnimon roll. Yes, the feeling was something close to a desire... Perhaps a calling? Whatever it was, it lead me to an old antique shop that seemed still in the process of being shaped up. It was nice and gave a homely feel that I enjoyed. I don't know why I didn't just look around and leave, but something caught my eye. No, it drew my gaze over.
It was a beautiful, yet dark, mirror adorned in a gothic theme which seemed perfect for the time of year. If there was anything that interested me, it was knicknacks that took up space and did nothing but amuse myself. However, I never had much money to spend on frivoluous things and maybe that is the reason I bothered to bid on this mirror? Or was it the strange power I could feel coming from it, calling to me? In the end, I spent more than I probably would have believed before walking into the store but I knew I had gotten more than a good deal on the artifact.
The mirror was warm in my hands and I could swear it had a heartbeat of its own. ...I must be going crazy. I need to get out more. But, strangely, I ended up wandering all the way back home without trouble. I gave up on grocery shopping today and I think I will go back tomorrow.

Ian set down her pencil and closed her journal. After staring at the plain blue cover, her eyes slowly crawled their way to her dresser. She didn't know why, but her heart began to beat fast as if in anticipation of what she knew lied on the wood surface. Ian stood up slowly and watched the piece of furniture from her spot a little longer before stepping closer.
The mirror lied there, serene in its blank reflection, yet intimidating in its dark fashion. She had not figured out why the mirror's glass was faded and fogged. Countless times she tried many cleaning materials but seemed unsuccessful. This time, she ran her hand against the glass's surface and shuddered at the sudden cold exposed to her gloved hand. Ian withdrew her hand and stared at the strange artifact a little longer.
Her eyes could not seem to come off the curves around the edges, the swirling depths of each jewel... finally, she brought herself to pick up the looking glass from its handle and... promptly place it into her top drawer. As she closed the drawer firmly, her nerves unwound and her heart calmed down. For a moment, she felt extremely childish. What was she doing? Was she afraid of this object? She felt better at least, so she decided to get ready for a shower.

... and the other day I chanced upon that mirror I had bought a few months ago. Would you believe I totally forgot I had put it in my drawer? Actually... I don't even remember that happening. Either way, I pulled it out and tried to give a good cleaning when it didn't seem to respond. That really is strange...
Well, I tried to hang up the mirror even though it had a handle... and I'm not sure why, but it seems to keep falling down. The dresser wasn't working very well as a place for it, as whenever I placed my keys or jewelry on the glass by accident, it would wind up on the floor. I think that is Luc's doing, silly cat. So, I decided to put it on my nightstand next to my bed. It works nicely there, beside my alarm clock. However, I find myself gazing at it for too long and there was one instance where I was late for work due to that odd antique. There is something about it... it used to frighten me, now it is simply intriguing... as if I could fall right inside...
I think I could use some fresh air.

Ian stretched her arms and slipped out of her chair, pushing it back into her writing desk. She climbed up onto her bed and opened the window there, sticking her head out to take in the scent of the city below. She normally avoided heading totally out of the building unless she was feeling extremely cramped, mostly because she didn't want another incident of her getting lost... as she might not find her way back home this time.
She sat back on her legs and looked out the window a little longer before she shifted to the side and gazed at the looking glass on the end table. The same, spiraling, almost woven, black rim topped with bat wings and adorned with red gems... but what?
She got up and picked the mirror into her hands and found the reflection not quite glazed but.. spiraling? Was her eyes adjusted right? Ian felt as if she was falling.. falling into the mirror... No, that wasn't possible. Yet, it felt as if the reflection was twisting.. spinning.. turning.. It was hypnotic and she struggled with the notion of setting the piece back down.
The moment she convinced her arm to lower and her fingers to release, she felt as if a large weight had been lifted off her body. The tips of the brunette's fingers tingled and her dark eyes seemed strained. Ian licked her lips and swallowed hard, her mouth suddenly dry.
Was she sick? She couldn't figure it out and she felt a headache approaching whenever she attempted. This time she just shook her head and contemplated leaving the room.
"...Maybe some television might make me feel better."
However, she couldn't help herself from looking again at the mirror, wondering how and why it held so much power over herself when it was just... just a piece of glass.
PostPosted: Thu Dec 09, 2004 4:14 am


The mirror's endless swirling stops, and the mirror sits dormant for a few minutes while it waits for Ian to notice the lack of activity. Then as soon as her eyes fall on it, it starts to swirl again but with more of an persistent feeling to it. It wants her to be drawn in, and it seems that blue and green light from the room is sucked away to leave only a vivid blood red glow. The swirling grows and grows, and grows, and a reflection that is NOT Ian starts to make itself known...

Sure enough, the moment Ian tells herself to look away from the object and do something useful, she finds her eyes moving directly to the piece in question.
This time, however, all thoughts of looking away were lost. Her eyes became fixiated on the swirling motion, her knees becoming weak as she moved closer. She rested her hands on the table as if to prevent herself from falling over as she watches the hypnotic torture of the endless loops of red tide within the glass. Ian found it harder to breathe as her eyes burnt from... the light? Or perhaps from staring... yet, the pain did not allow her to pull away from watching.
It took a couple of moments for her eyes to focus into a shape forming within the glass. Her eyes could not make it out, however, and so she hesistantly pressed a shaking hand to the glass, half expecting it to go right through. Still confused and overwhelmed by the item, she tried to wipe the image away to make the consuming red whirlwind become more visible again.

The jewels on the mirror grow brighter, and brighter, the reflection growing just a tiny bit clearer...
And all the light in the room grows even duller, the only bright spot seeming to be the few jewels and the glass.

Ian pulls her hand away briefly, notcing the jewels becoming brighter and gets momentarily sidetracked. She then notices the glass's smudge is more apparent and so she wipes it more, feeling as if an outside force is driving her forward. She squints her eyes, having a difficult time seeing anything outside of the mirror and gems, but is unable to focus on her mind on anything else but cleaning the glass.
