AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM Name: Lumikki this is her public name. She has yet to 'finalise' her true name. Nicknames: Lumi Gender: Female Age: When she is in human form she appears to be 14. Faction: Demon Race: Kumiho ((Korean version of Kitsune -- There are differences)) Note on Differences: Kumiho's are always female, as far as a back story for Lumikki I have made it as if they were similar to the amazons. They will capture a demon male and if their breeding results in a male they will send both on their way if it results in a female they will bring her in and raise her. They are also supposed to be vengeful and downright evil, which for Lumi manifests as a constant craving for attention instead. Natural Ability: Shapeshifting, since she is a Kumiho she uses this ability to shift between her natural form and that of a ghoul that is pleasing to the situation. ((see below for clarification)) Y1: Being able to shift back to her natural fox form even with pin on Y2: Masking her Tail and Ears Y3: Picking and Choosing Traits Personality: Lumikki has a very complex, not really, personality....but here are the highlights. The DitzLumikki is a bit of a ditz she tends to forget if she's already told someone something. This is more of an absent-mindedness type of forgetting, it's like she doesn't think she's had a conversation with someone yet so she decides to have it again, or she thinks she's already had the conversation and never brings it up, sometimes she forgets names of new people. This can cause her quiet a bit of anxiety, and she gets very nervous meeting new boils and ghouls because of this. The Walking AccidentLumikki has never been the graceful type. Everything she tries to do just turns out wrong. Once while sitting outside reading she managed to set the pages on fire, which wouldn't have been bad except she was borrowing the book. Being the type of demon she is, this particular trait is a large embarrassment to her and one she tries to laugh off. Awkward...Lumikki is one of those sweet girls that can be gullible. She is sweet and bubbly on the outside, but generally very awkward in new situations. She has quiet a few insecurities, that stem from her childhood, but she plays them off as if they were nothing. When she gets embarrassed she tends to play with her fox bead and is unable to complete her thoughts. Most the time she will just change the conversation without any notice. This has lead some to believe she might be a little off. Constant Reassurance NeededLumikki likes to be liked, she craves the attention and feeds upon the emotions of others. She will latch upon a person that has been prone to giving her the attention she craves. This causes her to look and act clingy however, she does keep in mind the pros and cons of every one of her relationships. She uses this to fulfill her cravings, so as far as she's concerned it isn't harmful. But she can see the drawbacks of being too clingy, only sometimes it's a little too late. She's lost many friends due to her 'need'. Oooooh shiny...Lumi is easily distracted, as well as easily amused. She can for hours on end find amusement in something as trivial as string. It might have something to do with the fact that is regardless of form still a playful kit. Being distracted doesn't seem to bother her in the least, she doesn't even notice most the time. Even if others do. Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Lumikki wants to enroll in to Amityville Academy because she believes that her enrollment will allow her to improve upon her training. And possibly help her get over some of her insecurities. She hopes the discipline of schooling and being around others of her kind will help her master how to use her natural ability to the fullest, as well as improve upon her FEAR. After having been an exchange student and seeing the horsemen fall, Lumikki is really wanting to come to the academy to learn how to harness her abilities. She felt useless in the battles on the isle. FEAR Ability: Her FEAR Ability is being able to call upon a cascade of icy blue flames that emit from her palms to create chaos, which she can use to her advantage by confusing a foe or sparring partner. But as it stands right now she can barely emit one small blue icy flames from her palms, she's hoping that with some training she might get better. ((This I believe fits the "Headlights" Fear?)) Headlights Known simply as " Headlights," this technique was discovered soon after automobiles were developed in the Human World. When these strange devices were first encountered, the nameless Halloweener was transfixed. What was that bright light coming at them from the darkness? That strange, beep beep sound? After discovering how painful these new horseless carriages were, this technique was developed to instill the same sense of confusion and transfixation that makes a Halloweener forget where they were and what they were doing, effectively making them skip their turn in battle.

She stands about 5 foot 4, and has a curvy build...she has curves and is proud of it. --Human Form-- Eye Colour: Her eyes are a violet colour. When she is using her FEAR Ability her eyes will be a glowing blue making them very scary looking. Hair Colour/Style: Her hair is a silvery white with slightly gray tips. It's almost always styled very fashionably, with most of her hair up curled and a few curls falling down over her face. Her hair is pulled up with hair sticks, hair chopsticks with silver chains connecting the two together. Skin Colour: She is tan with rosy undertones Clothing Style/Colours: Even though Lumi descends from an old and long line of Korean Demons she is very modern in dress because that is what is "appealing" to those around her. She generally wears clothing that she can catch attention in, normally that means faded daisy duke shorts with a black silk scarf wrapped around as a belt it has a skull pin holding it together, a tight black tanktop, and a long red leather jacket. She also wears 'hooker' boots, they are black leather knee high boots with a heel to them. It doesn't seem that scary or ominous but considering that her main goal in life is to prolong her life by feeding on emotions of men she doesn't see any reason to wear anything but items that would attract the attention of men that she can feed upon. Extra: Because Lumi is still considered young she sometimes has issues transforming. Kumiho that have mastered their ability are generally undetectable when they transform, except by certain ways. Lumi's way of detection, when she is fully transformed, is if she doesn't have her fox bead, this is an item that holds her FEAR/essence. Lumi is never seen without her fox bead which is in the form of a pendent worn around her neck. The silver necklace's pendent is a golden crescent moon that opens up to a five pointed star [[ mark ]]. She also is always seen with moon-star earrings. Note, during her four clans visit she made a ruby and diamond silver ring. References: See next post --Fox Form-- Eye Colour: Her eyes are a violet colour. Fur Colour: She is a silvery white fox with gray tips on her 3 tails and her ears. Extra: Even in fox form Lumi will never be without her fox bead. The bead is again a small silver pendent that she wears around her neck. The silver necklace's pendent is a golden crescent moon that opens up to a five pointed star.

A few questions!
- Why a Finnish name for a Japanese demon type?
- Why 1000 years old? Does she have extra life experience or some kind of plot-related reason to be this ancient? While the kitsunes currently in the shop do canonically age more slowly than humans, they're under 100, teenaged in their species' eyes. You might want to discuss the age point with their players (demon_pachabel and Lilpuffs) to make sure that the canon doesn't conflict.
- Likewise, why a nine-tailed kitsune? In a setting like this, a nine-tailed kitsune seems overpowered; nine tails usually represents great power and experience. Again, you might want to talk to the players of the existing kitsunes. At Year 2, Remi has 7 tails and Tomoko has 6, both having increased tails from their first year.
- Transformation is usually a natural ability rather than a FEAR ability; also, the FEAR ability description you wrote is a bit self-contradictory. If she's transforming into a beast to attack, how is her blue flame being emitted from her palms? And why does she need to transform to do this? Think of a FEAR attack as something like a limit break: an extra, more powerful battle ability that can be occasionally used.
- You might want to make some alterations to her outfit to make it more Halloweeny. This may not be necessary, but it would help the character fit the setting.
- What is a fox bead for? I haven't heard the concept before.

- Why a Finnish name for a Japanese demon type? >_< honestly cause I liked the sound...but if things like that aren't normal in this shop I'll be happy to ask around. - Why 1000 years old? Does she have extra life experience or some kind of plot-related reason to be this ancient? While the kitsunes currently in the shop do canonically age more slowly than humans, they're under 100, teenaged in their species' eyes.

Again, you might want to talk to the players of the existing kitsunes. At Year 2, Remi has 7 tails and Tomoko has 6, both having increased tails from their first year. This one is mainly due to the fact that she is a different type of Kitsune, she is a Korean Nine Tailed Demon. But again if that's not something that can be done I'll be happy to change it and I'll ask those two. Thank you so much for letting me know who else had kitsune's that I could talk with possibly ^^ - Transformation is usually a natural ability rather than a FEAR ability; also, the FEAR ability description you wrote is a bit self-contradictory. If she's transforming into a beast to attack, how is her blue flame being emitted from her palms? And why does she need to transform to do this? Think of a FEAR attack as something like a limit break: an extra, more powerful battle ability that can be occasionally used. ahha This is possibly because I'm special and don't use my words correctly ((english isn't my native language)) but when I said beast I meant more like she's still humanish but her tails appear...if that makes any sense. - You might want to make some alterations to her outfit to make it more Halloweeny. This may not be necessary, but it would help the character fit the setting. I will look in to this one. - What is a fox bead for? I haven't heard the concept before. fox bead again different from normal kitsune's due to her being a different kind but it's kinda like the source for magick.

Tiny bit of crit here at how your ghoul dresses!
Honestly I would not consider something that covers her from neck to soles of her feet as dressing like a prostitute. A slut would be pretty revealing, so maybe just omit that she dresses like a slut? Also, those boots really just look like rather normal knee high boots, if you are aiming for hooker you may want to go with leather/laces? Or, if you really want her to look like a slut I'd suggest tweaking her outfit a bit~
Hope that helps!

- I'm curious to see how you'd play up a 'kumiho' in difference to a 'kitsune' given how much similarity your quest has to the existing Kitsune character, Tomoko - who's clan also has Illusions as a Natural Ability, is also a pushover/sweet innocent type. She also has something very similar to what is being referred to as a 'Fox Bead' in this quest (only she goes by the mythos of the 'Ball of Stars'). - If you'd rather have her be a 'Kumiho', figure out how to play up the differences between a Kumiho and a Kitsune, otherwise it is a Rose-by-any-name sort of situation. - What does her FEAR attack do, exactly? It sounds like she just eats her own FEAR right now, and I am not sure exactly what purpose that will serve the character? Think of what kind of effect you would like the FEAR to have - Look into the FEAR Mechanics guide and see what of those types appeals to you and then build around that. smile

I'm very interested in her forgetfulness smile
How powerful is that trait? Like, is it obliviousness (like, she's never able to remember the name of the character, no many how times they met), or is just a simple absent-mindedness / preoccupation? I ask, since it looks like it can be quite difficult to play certain scenes, if it "does take her a while before she can put names and faces together. And even then it's a miracle", since she will be forgetting everything, though, it can lead to various comic incidents (if that's you intention).

Also, a little note concerning the slutty outfit. I think that the image of a hooker revealing maximum of herself (high heels, lace/leather, mini skirt, fishnet) is a very western image. However, Lumikki, being a Korean demon, could be more close to the Asian tradition, if you like, where - historically - prostitutes were covered from neck to toes with rich and complicated clothes (like Yūjo in Japan).

santime I'm very interested in her forgetfulness Her forgetfulness is more like absent-mindedness. Where she knows the person and she knows the name but doesn't generally put the two together. She generally has more of an issue with remembering if they talked about something before. Example, Lumi will probably have forgotten the talk about using their womenly ways to gain entry in the school if she were to meet your ghoul again and may make the same comment to her. santime Also, a little note concerning the slutty outfit. I think that the image of a hooker revealing maximum of herself (high heels, lace/leather, mini skirt, fishnet) is a very western image. As far as this one goes. It's mainly because she isn't an "old" demon. She is a descendent from an old line of demons but since she's more modern she dresses more in the style of 'today' since that's what is attractive to those around her. smile

Crit for you, as requested! C: Her name: I'm going to reiterate something that Prox said, especially since you keep referring to her coming from a long line of Korean demons and that lineage being important to her: her name being Finnish really throws me off! I mean, this is not a gigantic deal, at all, and you're more than welcome to keep things as they are - it just throws me a bit, that's all. XD; (Keep in mind that demons all have two names: a true name which they keep secret and a name they use publicly. Maybe Lumikki is her public name and she has a Korean true name?) Her personality: One thing I noticed with her ditzy & clumsy traits is that they describe her behavior, not her actual self. How does her absent-mindedness affect her? Does it bother her? Does she worry about forgetting things, or is she careless about it? Ditto her clumsiness: is she self-conscious about this? Does she get tense and twitchy, fearing that things will go wrong? Or does she charge ahead and laugh it off when it happens? How does this affect her self-confidence? The last two traits... seem kind of contradictory to each other. In one trait, she seems calculating and self-assured, but in the other she seems hesitant and highly susceptible to peer pressure. Is she calculating peoples' weaknesses because she's afraid they might hurt her, and she wants to be ready to hurt back if needed? Does she get really clingy when it comes to her friends and needing reassurance? Is she highly dependent on others - and if so, how does she feel about this? Again, the foundation is there, but think more about how she feels than what she does. smile (Also, there's something you say in her physical description about her main goal in life being to feed on the emotions of men, but I don't see that anywhere else! That's interesting - get that into her personality!) Everything else looks fine. smile I'd consider selecting a FEAR type to assign to her fear ability - maybe Battle Cry? But yeah, I'd think about her personality more! And RP her in the meta, that'll help flesh her out more. smile Good luck!

And I'm learning not to put means of names any more. Since most people wouldn't have known where her name came from originally. But I do like that idea of true and public names.

The Acceptance Bin had underwent many different transformations. The gnomes still weren't too sure what to make of its latest. Somehow it had gotten it into its head that fox accessories were popular and had adorned itself with several. The gnomes didn't have the heart to tell the Bin that it was wearing only one tail and five sets of ears when it should have been the other way around.
