Personality: + Benevolent: Kaguya really tries to only mean the best. Even if it doesn't always work out to the benefit of everyone around her or sometimes even herself, she only tries to do good and nice things for other people, especially friends. While some call her troublesome because of her meddling in some affairs or taking on too much, she really is only trying to help regardless of how many times it will backfire right back into her face. With the clans working together now, it’s a hard for her to refuse another when they need help.
+ Modest: Because times have become hard on everyone, Kaguya has turned very modest, she does not need excess amounts of clothing when some can barely keep the clothing on their backs. Nor can she accept extra materials if someone else is more in need. If given a compliment, she'll probably just laugh it off and fire another compliment right back at you. Kaguya doesn't let compliments get to her head, and on that note, she hardly lets anything get to her. Overconfidence can lead to misfortune, she knows this much.
+ Hardworking: The clans need to be rebuilt, there should be no slacking around. Kaguya is constantly working, either mentally or physically. She sticks her hands or mind into the problem at full capacity, giving every situation or whatever she’s doing her 110% always. She cannot abide by laziness or self-pity afetr what happened. Kaguya works hard to build something for herself and to keep it with her always, in this case it’s to keep her beloved home alive.
- Wary: Old habits die hard, she may seem open a lot of the time, but Kaguya is actually uncomfortable and a bit paranoid most of the time as the old ways are still lingering. It’s still hard for her to trust any of the other clans, but she’s trying. Her biggest discomfort is with large crowds. She hates the jostling, the constant friction between herself and other people. Too much of a weakness, there's too many unpredictable variables. A contradicting statement in her personality. Kaguya may hate large crowds but she also hates the silence of waiting alone. It makes her antsy.
- Reserved: She is quiet a lot of the time. Kaguya keeps to herself because it keeps her out of trouble and out of everyone else's minds. There are times when she'll feel comfortable enough to simply sit around and have a conversation with some girl friends, but she’s more of a listener. While some of her friends appreciate the listening ear, it’s sometimes a lot harder than it ought to be to get information from Kaguya. She very closed lipped with those she does not know, and even more so with people who aren’t horseman.
- Stubborn: Kaguya does not like towield to the instructions of others, so best believe that she’s only going to do what she thinks will be best for her clan or, in some cases, her close friends. Once Kaguya has made up her mind, there is a very slim chance that anyone will ever really persuade her into changing it. You could try. She'll consider your argument, then act on her own accord. Furthermore, it is nearly impossible to shake her morals and opinions. Do not even go there. And don't think that, just because she won't argue with you, does not mean that she is conceding to anything you have to say.
Mount Form: [ Summon Mount: ] White Andalusian with diamond braided hair, his eyes are black pupil less and glow like the hooves a black color.
Weapon Form: [ Weapons Summoning ]: Kaguya’s spear is about a little longer than an arms length then a regular spear and has a slight curve to it for easier handling. The silver metal tip is longer and narrower than a spears. The handle is black leather which runs up half of the spear, the rest is also silver metal. (Think Nuada’s short spear in Hellboy 2)
FEAR ATTACK: The fear ability allows Kaguya to extend her spear to make it longer, right now it can extend up to five meters.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Silver Hair Colour/Style: Black with either a Ofuku or wareshinobu hairstyle. Artist may make slight modifications as they like with the hair style. Skin Colour: White, but looks a little silver. Clothing Style/Colours: I am completely open to letting the artist decide what she would wear, the only thing I would request is that her inspiration be that of a ‘maiko’. Here’s a small explanation x Extra: Traditional makeup if possible. References: I may in the future (Its been commissioned, just waiting), right now however I have none :<

DEUS EX MACHINA PERSONNEL FORM
The Hunter Name:Balieth Cinders. Nicknames:Bal. Gender:Female. Age:21.
Category:Sun.
The Weapon Name:Thonar. Nicknames:Partner, Nar. Type of Weapon:Sap gloves. Former species of weapon:Monster - Thunderbird. Gender:Male.
Personalities: Bal is a very happy go lucky individual the majority of the time. Everyone is likely to see her smiling in any possible situation thrown at her, and it’s rare for her to lose hope when the situation becomes desperate. Rarely does it seem like the hunter is taking the situation thrown at her seriously, but it might simply be how she handles the pressure. Another trait one should know about Bal is that she is very affectionate and a really touchy feely person, she is very likely to invade someone’s personal space without permission and give them a hug or a (not so gentle) pat on the back. Thus, it is best to warn her beforehand if anyone freaks out at physical contact (at least then she’ll make an effort to keep her hands to herself). The hunter is also very loud.
In contrast to her weapon, the hunter is a very hardy individual and can be considered reckless in certain situations. She is likely to run into the front lines just because she wants a piece of the action. Thankfully, a good smack across the back of her head will knock some common sense into her…most of the time. Bal is also very active and thus, it is likely you’ll see her running down the halls or fidgeting one way or another while sitting down. She’s not very patient most of the time, but if someone wants her to play the role of a listener, she will sit there quietly and listen.
Her reaction to the supernatural usually isn’t good: one, because she’s the type to rush head first into battles, and two, because she has a major bias against them. Not because they ruined her life…not physically, but they did ruin her emotionally, and with her nephew having the ability to see them, she felt like they were ruining the child’s life as well.
Thonar is relatively similar to Bal in that both hunter and weapon are very active. However, what they differ in is what they like to be active about. The weapon is one for being actively fighting, he likes knocking people out, giving them a bloody nose, and he would be darn rowdy as hell if only he had a movable body. It doesn’t help that he is resilient and obnoxious to boot, egging Bal on whenever a potential opponent came up. Thankfully, the gloves do have some good points to him such as being very supportive.
Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter? It all started with a single shadow creeping at the end of her bed.
She has been seven at the time, and had woken up in the middle of the night. Bal, at the time, had woken up groggy and stared at the foot of her bed when this lump suddenly moved. She thought it might have been no more than her imagination (as told many a times by her elder brothers and father), and brushed right past the shadow as she left to go to the washroom. She brushed past the shadow. She brushed past the shadow…oh god. Bal felt the shadow, and had halted in her tiny steps as she turned to stare at it with wide eyes. This…thing that was supposed to be nothing more than her imagination was touchable, that meant it was real. And upon her realization of its existence, she screamed.
That will always be the first memory Balieth will remember when asked about her childhood. She can remember being scared, screaming, and kicking(?) the shadow in the face before running to her daddy’s room, petrified of the monster in her room. Neither her father nor her two elder brothers believed a word she said, assuming it was only a nightmare, but she knew it was real. She saw it move and felt its solid existence. No one would believe the words of a seven year old child. This was a war she was fighting alone.
This war wasn’t too horrible, she thought as she grew. The shadows usually left her alone if she ignored it, and she kept to it. Keeping on a smile, pretending nothing was bothering her, and living every day in a self-created illusion where these shadows things wandering in the background wasn’t real. This lasted until she hit the age of 19 when her brother’s son started screaming about monsters. Her elder brother thought it might just be a situation similar to Bal’s childhood, and Bal thought it might had been caused by a nightmare, but she had smiled at the child, agreeing to keep an eye in his room that evening – to keep the monsters away. That night, she tucked her nephew to bed, and sat by his side until he fell asleep. However, she didn’t expect the shadows to appear again. The young lady didn’t scream, she didn’t shout, all she did was stare at the fiends before shoving them into her nephew's closet and hightailing it out of the room.
At that time, Balieth made a resolution: she was going to beat the hell out of these things that were driving her up the wall and ruining their lives. She was going to protect her nephew from them and everyone that had the misfortune of having to face them, and make sure they never bother anyone again.
Weapon Ability Thunder Charge || The Gambler's Chance An attack charged with electricity. While it could deal a larger amount of damage to the enemy, there is a chance of it backfiring. Since Balieth had just started, there is a much higher chance of it backfiring…however neither hunter nor weapon seem to care about the consequences.
Physical Description: Eye Colour:Grey. Hair Colour/Style: Long –and strangely – bright teal hair (dyed) that is always in a neat little braid. It ends at around mid-thigh in length. Skin Colour: Light Beige. Clothing Style/Colours: Black biker leather suit, with a white vest over top and a teal stash wrapped around her waist (Brief this is BRRRIIIEEEFFFF). Artist has free range on what her jacket looks like! OUO Extra: Her height is 5’11 and her build is leaning on the muscular side since she boxes. Her hands are wrapped in medical tape. References: Bal Reference
Name: Katsuo Hiromasa Nicknames: None Gender: Male Age: 16
Faction: Monster Race: Ushi-oni, "ox-ogre". (the description at that address is rather helter-skelter, and seemingly classifies ushi-oni as both a demon *and* a monster, which doesn't really work; this form should be a bit more specific, hopefully)
Natural Ability: Shapeshifting
Personality: Hot-Blooded Katsuo is a bit of a hothead; when someone offends him or those who have gained his friendship, he will become aggressive in an effort to get them to recant, and does not back down easily.
Headstrong: Once Katsuo has started on a project or taken on a cause, he will pursue it unfailingly to the end, or as far as he can, regardless of how much time and effort it takes.
Head of the Herd: Being, as he is, not just a bull but a being of Halloween, Katsuo is both a dominant type, and protective of those he considers "his" people; as such, once another Halloween resident has won their way into his circle, he will show them strong loyalty, stand up for and support them so long as they do not turn on him.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?: Katsuo wants to learn as much as he can and grow into his powers fully; for this, he has come to what is the best school in Halloween. In addition, having the best education will satisfy his personal pride and, he hopes, give him better standing in his world than he might get from a lesser school.
FEAR Ability:Disorienting Aura(basically a first-year, less-powerful version of Ushi-oni's ability to cause "madness" when looked upon) When Katsuo uses this ability, those around him would experience a disorienting sensation... Something along the lines of a hallucinogenic and/or dissociative effect that distorts their sense of reality, making it difficult for them to act.
Physical Description: Katsuo's student form is a teenage-looking male of about 5'11. He is heavyset, though much of this is muscle, with a definite taurine cast to his overall appearance: strong face with a heavy jawline and a rather wide nose, and short but stocky limbs.
Eye Colour: Yellow Hair Colour/Style: Maroon, wild and spiky to just below shoulders Skin Colour: Well-tanned Caucasian; though if possible, a few dark-red stripe makings such as are in the reference picture Clothing Style/Colours: A barbarian-type garment that appears to be made from the skin of the creature in the reference pic; a necklace of fangs such as are shown there. Earrings, carved from bone, in the shape of bovine skulls- one on each ear. Extra: A pair of bull horns, slightly lighter than his hair, atop his head; also, a bovine tail as portrayed in the image below. References: Overall, I'd like to base his student form off this version of the Ushi-oni, while still making him appear human. Thus, the ref pic above is mainly for hair, eyes, and extras, while contributing to clothing style and color as if he were wearing the skin of the creature portrayed.
TIH NEWBIE
Thank you for this AWESOME raffle
Now that the raffle is over & winners have been selected and this character is not one of them, I'm going to, er... take "advantage"/make the best of...(don't know how to best word this) situation and make a proper quest thread along with some tweaks - one of them being that I want to alter his name a little bit...so that's why I'm messing with this form even after the rolling sweatdrop
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 5:00 am
NAME OF STUDENT OR HUNTER AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK:Sin Err Proof of exam thread:[X] Any specifications? - Sin's hair has grown out slightly - Her arm spikes have grown a bit longer/sharper - Her wings have grown and she can now use them for flight - Her eyes have started to loose their pupil and glow yellow - She still has her demon eye brooch on her at all times - Outfit should be a combination of sophisticated and sexy with a scary Halloween touch (See journal photo album for outfit ideas if needed) Reference Picture for Y2 - Please keep it close to this ref!
Natural Ability: Shadow shift: For a few crucial seconds, grim reapers can shift into a shadowy, wispy intangible substance. They cannot sadly, pass through walls this way.
Personality: A playful troublemaker, Calista loves to play jokes and cause general mischief. She means no harm! Really! Calista loves long, romantic walks in a misty moonlit graveyard as much as she loves a loud and riotous party that will surely wake the dead so to speak. She hasn't had much tragedy in her life, nothing that would traumatize her or scar her into never playing any kind of prank or trying to cause trouble ever again; nothing that would make her stare off into the distance with a look of someone who has seen what cannot ever be unseen. Calista is young, she's got her whole life ahead of her, so why not have a little fun while she's still got the time for it? Variety is the spice of life, she'll try almost anything that sounds interesting. You know that saying, "if everyone else jumped off a bridge would you do it too"? Yeah, Calista would totally do it. I'm sure it's just a phase. Eventually she'll grow out of it and become a respectable grim reaper...right?
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Why not? Her mother went, her father went, and their siblings, and their parents, and their parents before them. It is boasted as the top school in Halloween, isn't it? Who cares if there are some silly stories about terrible things surrounding the school lately. Who cares about a little scandal? That just makes life interesting!
FEAR Ability: (The Tainted Fang) Nothing terribly fancy. No special incantations or epic stances or seven episodes of yelling buildup, not unless Calista just feels like it because she's in that kind of mood. Just a single cut from her scythe is all it takes. Enjoy slowing dying.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Bright blue Hair Colour/Style: Black, very full, curls at the end. Skin Colour: White like bone. Decorated on her arms, hands, chest and face with the markings of Catrina. Clothing Style/Colours: See references Extra: See references References:Concept It doesn't have to be exact, whoever does her is free to suggest changes. The scythe is taller than her. Black roses and white poppy flowers are also acceptable additions should you so choose~.
Faction: Demon Race: Cerberus (but prefers to be called a Guardian Hound)
Natural Ability: Shapeshifting - Can shift between her humanoid and true forms. Shay's true form is that of a large black two-tailed dog with one white tail.
Personality: Shay is loyal to her master, who once saved her life, she is dedicated to paying back the life-debt she feels she owes him.
Shay takes her responsibility's very seriously. If given a job she will not give up until it is completed no matter how long that may be. She does have a rarely seen playful side but won't let it out unless all work is done.
Shay can be reckless, rushing into a situation without getting all the facts first. While typically level headed if someone she cares about is in trouble she'll do everything she can to help.
Shay has a sweet tooth, more like an obsession really. If there's one thing that can distract her its sweets. She can't resist baked goods expressly if they have ice cream on them. The one exception is anything chocolate, she don't much care for it.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? A seer foresaw that Shay will one day be the guardian of her master's greatest treasure. She has chosen to enroll in the academy to prepare herself.
FEAR Ability: Dual Shadow Strike (Swift Strikes) - Shay fades into the shadows and strikes twice with her claws.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Dark Red Hair Colour/Style: Color: Black with White bangs Style: Long, Braided Skin Colour: Lightly Tan Clothing Style/Colours: Color: Black/Red Style: Please See Ref (feel free to play with the colors) Extra: Two fluffy dog tails (one black, one white), Black dog-like ears, Fangs Accessory: Silver earring near tip of left ear References:Hair styleclothingtektek clothingShay as a soq plush
The White Tail - A human managed to get his hands on a demon summoning book. One night while drunk he got the "brilliant" idea to try summoning a demon. But as drunk as he was and having no talent for languages he said the spell wrong. The spell was complete enough that it snatched up a two-tailed cerberus pup. Trapped inside the unfinished spell the pup would have died if not for the interference of one of the Demon Lords. The pup was alive but forever changed by the ordeal as the spell power had bleached one of her tails white.
Siska strives to be a good soldier, and she thinks that the best approach to this is adaptability. She thinks that she has to know that while she may be doing one thing, and expecting a certain outcome, that there are a range of other outcomes possible and she may need to deal with them accordingly. She does her best to seamlessly transition into a new course of action based on what needs to be accomplished, whether she likes it or not.
She is self-reliant, never letting any physical limitations get in her way. She is not a weak princess in need of rescuing, though she is admittedly short (she will vehemently argue anyone calling her "tiny" ), and she will tumble headfirst toward her goals until she meets them on her own.
One goal she has yet to meet, however, is being chosen as a guardian. She is near desperate to prove that despite being small, she is a capable soldier and worthy of being chosen for a more specialized position. For one reason or another, she has yet to stand out and has not made enough impact to be chosen for the position. She knows that after so long, it is unlikely that she will suddenly be chosen, and there is some bitterness attached to the realization.
Since the loss of the islands, Siska has felt it more important now than ever for them to preserve their culture. She believes in her traditions, and believes they are the key to the survival of her clan. She finds herself wanting to be surrounded by her fellow death horsemen more than she might have back home, and she worries about losing more than just the personal belongings that disappeared with the islands. She feels each clan should be working to rebuild their own cultures, and doesn't like being referred to as the lost clans as a collective. She wants them to rebuild and continue their greatness, as four separate clans as it should be, but she knows there's likely to be some give and take alone the way.
Siska likes books. In fact, she likes books, and stories, and tales. She likes things related to strategy and history and things she can learn from. Things that teach her how to be a better soldier, and better use to her clan. Anything to give her an upper hand. She also enjoys collecting pieces of jewelry, the pieces that remind her most of home be it the symbols or the styles. While most of death is into the jewelcrafting, Siska seems to put a little more sentimentality into it.
Mount Form: Ghostly-looking polar bear, wispy around the legs and ears
FEAR ATTACK: Siska moves her blade in a shadowy blur, dealing multiple hits at once. Swift Strike Mechanics.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Periwinkle-ish Hair Colour/Style: See ref. Desaturated purple-y brown color, pulled into a loose styled braid to keep it from getting in the way. Something like this maybe Skin Colour: Tan Clothing Style/Colours: Simple navy sleeveless tunic with a white furred hood. Purple knee-length pants, loosely fitted. A thick belt around her tunic, holding up some white fur. Short, brown boots. Headband piece with white wings coming of them. Both the belt and the headband hold buckles with the symbol of earth on them (or whatever symbol you want to do is cool.) She has armbands on her upper arms like these, and a chain coming off her belt. All metal should be done in shades of bronze. Any detailing is up to what you feel like doing. Extra: References:Siska
Essentially what I'm looking for is some Halloween Heroes paraphanelia for him to be dressed in. You'll def wanna stick to blacks and oranges for this rather than his typical blue + gold (other than his head). Somewhere he should have a badge with the TCG logo on it: http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w246/8477777/booster3.png If you need the transparent logo let me know I have it somewhere... I think LOL. /at work right now biggrina This design is mostly up to you as long as it sorta sticks within the TCG logo color range, if you need some accent purples or blues or whatever be my guest! Should be suit-y but if you want to hint towards like... idk some form of geek-wear go for it.
