k a z a h a y a ; spirit of incense

n a m e ; kazahaya
s p i r i t ; incense
g e n d e r ; male

e y e s ; Any light color (contrast with ash)
s k i n ; Pale, nearly white

h a i r ;
Kaza's hair is black or any shade of smoky gray.
It's cut in a razor'd style short cut in back, but it
is longer on each side of the face in the front,
with some shorter bangs across his forehead.

b o d y ;
Kazahaya has a pointed animal ears at the top of
his head, and a bushy tail, both black like his hair,
but sort of looking like a raccoon or a chinchilla.
His face is usually a bit smudged with ash across
his eyes like a stripe, and also on his feet/hands
in the style of swirls and twirls.
c l o t h e s ;
I imagine something kind of asian and ceremonial,
since incense is used in quite a few ceremonies.
q u i r k s ;
Kazahaya always smells good. Sometimes it is a
light fruity fragrance, sometimes very musky. His
favorite smell seems to be wisteria.
a b i l i t i e s ; See Below



p e r s o n a l i t y ; a little more behind the
smoke Kaza is a bit reserved. He doesn't take to
people easily, but once he does, he really opens
up to them. He can sometimes be moody and
fleeting. His reserved silence sometimes makes
him seem a bit of a mystery, but he's really an
open book. His moods are easy to read. He's a bit
of a packrat and sometimes has sticky fingers
when no one is looking.

l i k e s ; <3
bacon, things made of glass and reflective surfaces,
shiny items, breezy days.
d i s l i k e s ;
pushy people, thunderstorms, girly things

i n s p i r a t i o n ; behind the scenes
[ I've always been fascinated with incense and the way it moves.
It's flawless and mystical. Sometimes it is used to calm people or
spiritually cleanse a space. It's an art of herbs and spices, a treat
for all the senses. Incense leaves behind a white residue, so I kind
of pictured the skin being very pale, and the hair being black. The
racoon or chinchilla inspiration comes to mind from the fact those
animals always seem to look like they got into ash. Chinchillas also
bath in white powder. Incense burns white and black, so I thought
that Kaza would have a lot of influences from both of those.]

a b i l i t i e s ; what little terrors do!
Blowing Smoke [ When emotions run high for Kaza, he tends to
start blowing smoke from his ears or mouth. This sets off every
smoke detector around, and is a real problem. It ensures he gets
his way in almost any situation, and puts a whole new meaning to
the 'smoke coming out of his ears'. ]
Fade [ Smoke tends to fade, and Kazahaya displays an occasional
ability at fading so he's semi-visible. He's not completely invisible,
and his skin doesn't change, he just goes a little see-thru some-
times. It makes it easy for him to sneak bacon off the breakfast
plates. ]

a s h u r a ; the guardian

n a m e ; Ashura
n i c k n a m e ; Ash
g e n d e r ; Female
e y e s ; Green
a g e ; 23
h e i g h t ; 5'5"
h a i r ;
Ashura's hair is black, long, and blunt cut at lower
back. She has blunt cut bangs that stop just at her
eyes.

f a m i l y ;
On non-speaking terms. Ash's family doesn't consider
her to be on the correct career path. They think she is
wasting her talents, brains, and personality at a dead-
end job instead of aiming for a career path. Ashura
does not care as long as she can do things that make
her happy.

o c c u p a t i o n ;
Retail salesperson at a shrine giftshop; the entire thing
is completed by the fact she has to wear the traditional
red and white outfit to work everyday. [ Glamourous,
isn't it? ]



p e r s o n a l i t y ; more than meets the eye
Ashura is very independent woman. She's been taking
care of herself for a long time. She moved out when
she was seventeen, and took up the only available job,
working at a small shrine's retail giftshop. She might
seem uninterested in the culture that the shrine engulfs
her in, but she has a lot of curiosity. She tends to have
little patience for people who push their luck with her.
Ash finds beauty in things that people normally would
pass by.

<3 ; the things ash loves
trinkets, good smelling things, trees, nature, photography
the things ash hates
rude people, waiting, secrets

I updated Kazahaya's abilites. <3 ~ heart
PostPosted: Fri Nov 17, 2006 10:19 pm


lol... i have to agree about the monkey squishing there...

this concept is wonderful gabu, very creative and very vivid! his abilities are brilliant and quite perfect for his personality and character. the blowing smoke produces an amusing mental image and would be every child's dream, i would imagine. the fade one is perfect. i could almost see him like insence smoke... his image rolling between being visible and semi-visible. another cool one might deal with movement since the smoke from insence moves so gracefully and hypnotically.

thank you sooo much for the luck and linkage ro-chan! i wish you loads of luck in bringing Kazahaya to life! heart xd

Oh wow, that was the nicest comment yet! *adoration* <3 ! Thank you for all the comments, and I'll consider the movement idea too... He does need something somehow graceful or fluid...
