Character Name: Ouseken Player Name: Neon Fly Race: Human Aspirations: He seeks the knowledge of how to become a dragon, partially to restore order to his “family” shrine, but mostly to protect it from future chaos. If he can find a way to make a whole lot of money in the process, that’d be cool too. ;D
Personality: Everyone Should be More Like ME!; Alright, so he’s a little egotistical… okay A LOT egotistical! Everyone could certainly better themselves if they were, in some way, more like him. However, to be fair, the high expectations he has for others are no less critical than what he expects of himself.
Hate to Love You; Despite acting as lofty as the Exorcisma he was raised by this Koi is loyal to his family and friends. It’s sometime frustrating to him that he can’t simply ditch them whenever he likes and that, even if he doesn’t agree with the things they do or their mindsets, he can’t help but feel devoted to protecting them from their own stupidity.
Fall Seven Times, Stand Eight; Koi are known for their indomitable spirit and it’s just one of numerous traits that he shows. No matter what sort of obstacles stand before him this boy will find a way to overcome them, or die trying. His ability to persevere in the face of challenges that would break others verges on bull-headedness. His endurance for certain seems to be far beyond what most would be capable of.
Dance On A Razor’s Edge; In his ambitiousness, he tends to be rather reckless taking potentially life-altering—or worse life threatening—risks to obtain whatever he needs and reach his goals as quickly as possible. Whether he takes the time to consider or even realizes the risks he takes when he acts this way is hard to tell given that it often seems as though he doesn’t consider how it may affect his friends and family when he pulls such crazy stunts.
A Wound That Can’t Quite Heal; Having grown up in the care of his Exorcisma family, he respects, appreciates—and in his own way loves—them for all they’ve done for him, but can’t help but notice that he will never really be kin to them. They try to understand him, but not being Mononoke them selves they seem somewhat at wits end sometimes when dealing with him and as far as he’s concerned the feeling is mutual. Being abandoned by his birth parents has made the young Koi less than eager to trust others at face value. He doesn’t understand, nor like his family’s favorable views of Majin and tends to be rather loud about it. His viewpoint hasn’t changed since the shrine was over-taken either. Rather, if anything it’s caused him to gain a new appreciation for his loathing and mistrust of their kind.
An Embarrassing Secret; He’s so good at keeping up a superior front that most would never chance to guess that this Mononoke has a deep, dark secret. When caught off guard (and thusly flustered) by a hug or kiss from someone close to him, he inherently takes on his Koi form. As a result of this he tends to keep people at arms length with his imperious attitude so that no one will ever find out.
OH GOD. IT BURNS!; He’s allergic to the salt in sea water which burns his skin if he attempts to swim in it.
Looking in From the Outside; As a single Mononoke living amongst Exorcisma, it’s been difficult for him not to feel like the outsider they unintentionally make him out to be. Not born with their innate ability for life and death magic he’s been hard pressed to feel at home in the shrine of his “family” where he doesn’t seem to have a purpose. It’s no better in town where droves of Humans live out their daily lives and he finds himself unable to walk down the street without drawing attention to his odd features. He has since decided that if he’s going to stand out, he may as well dress up to the part and has since stop trying to blend into the crowds. He’s unique, deal with it.
Magic Theme/Abilities: I was thinking something along the lines of perhaps some kind of transformation magic that would give him the ability to take the shape (and gain the abilities) of a dragon. I’m a little cheesy and I thought it would be really cute to base this character on the Chinese story about the carp (Koi being a type of carp) who wanted to become a dragon! It’s a really specific idea and I’d kind of like to branch him out a bit more and give him some other complimentary lesser abilities, but I want them to tie in nicely so I’d rather wait to see him grow as a character before I made any further decisions. Becoming a dragon would kind of be his coup de grace though, the thing he strives for across his stages so in the beginning he'd probably be able to only use his lesser magics/only have his Mononoke transformation ooor if he was already working on his transformation magic it might only have a glamor type effect (i.e. slight alterations to his appearance or something like that).
Short Biography/Background: Left on the steps of the Ouseken family shrine as a wee baby, the Exorcisma family weren’t quite sure what to make of the little Koi Mononoke when he first arrived. Uncertain of his origins they decided to raise the child as one of their own, despite whatever complications that might have arisen. Whether they regret their decision or not is a secret they keep closely guarded as they tolerated and even accepted the youth as best they could. Attempting to teach him their ways, though mostly letting the boy have free run of their home to play and explore.
He lived a fairly average life despite his awkward beginnings and it wasn’t until many years later that he began to understand the purpose of his family’s shrine or even what the Ouseken Exorcisma did for a living. And further more, just how little he contributed to the running of the shrine. Determined to earn his keep, he helped out where he could, always leery of the Majin that came and went as they pleased. Welcomed by the Ouseken without fear or prejudice. It seemed like a recipe for disaster to the Mononoke, a though he frequently expressed to his family and the Majin he attempted to chase away as soon as they set foot upon the stone steps.
When the shrine fell victim to the magic-feeders, thanks in no small part to his family’s welcoming attitude he decided it was time to leave in search of the wisdom to become a dragon. A story he had been told since he was little. As a dragon he could protect his family’s shrine and the village from Majin and Witch-Eater invasion that threatened to permanently destroy the only home he’d ever known. Some day soon, when he’s mastered his quest, he’ll be able to return with his head held high and prove to the Exorcisma that raised him, that their benevolence was not offered in vain.
Tea: I’d like to leave this blank if possible, I’d definitely wanna get to know the character before making any choices on this.
You understand that if you are a new(ish) player, if you aren't active in rp or thread with the character you win for the first 3 months you can lose it? Yes
Note: Ouseken is his last name. I take forever to come up with first names,so I'm gonna leave it blank for now since I'm running out of time. Stupid work. Also, sorry for the brief and vague history, if I win it will definitely be fleshed out, I just don't have the time before this contest ends to do it justice. Sorry guys!

Character Name: Satoshi (聡)
Player Name: Purely Anonymoose
Race: Human
Aspirations: To become a powerful Ars Lilium.
Personality: Positive: ⨠ Courageous ⨠ He has a bit of a 'nothing can hurt me' kind of attitude so he'll rarely turn down a fight, or an adventure. One of these day's hell have a reality check, but right now he's young and foolish... ⨠ Easygoing ⨠ Satoshi is pretty laid back when it comes to studying and hanging out. When you're not afraid of anything it's difficult to be stressed out. He learned at a young age to relax, otherwise he never would have survived in a house with 7 siblings. ⨠ Levelheaded ⨠ Even though he likes to push the buttons of his siblings, he keeps himself in check when it comes to other people. He has a good mind about it and knows when to pick his fights... However, sometimes he'll ignore that inner voice if someone infuriates him.
Neutral: ⨠ Witty ⨠ Who doesn't like a good joke or punch line?
Negative: ⨠ Cocky ⨠ He has little respect for other students that have magical abilities he sees as insignificant. He's a little judgmental when it comes to magic and sees himself as a gift to magic. ⨠ Precarious ⨠ There's a thin line between taking a chance and doing something dangerous. Satoshi likes to take those chances that others would deem hazardous and unsafe. ⨠ Stingy ⨠ Just because he invited you to dinner doesn't mean he'll pay for you to eat. Having so many siblings you learn to keep what's yours to yourself. Sharing with 7 siblings usually left you nothing in the end.
Quirks: ⨠ Although he's a mononoke, and a fish, he doesn't know how to swim in his human form. If he ever finds himself in a situation where he needs to swim, he simply transforms. Though, who needs to swim when you can just walk under water? The gills help with the whole needing to breathe thing. ⨠ In the colder months he becomes less active. Who wants to go outside in the snow? Certainly not him.
Magic Theme/Abilities: Magical Absorption. Much like a droplet of water rebounding from an impact, he will have the ability to absorb magical attacks cast upon him and use that power either offensively or defensively. He'll only be as powerful as the attack cast upon him. This is his strength. His weakness is physical attacks. Although he can absorb magic, he fails at hand to hand combat. Hopefully no one will coldcock him in the face; it's too pretty to break. (I'm not going for mimicry or reflection but more of the use of energy.)
Short Biography/background: Born to a large family, he was often over looked when it came to matters of the magical kind. His seven siblings were all gifted in their chosen elements. But when it came to showing his stuff, Satoshi often came up empty handed. He couldn't conjure fire, manipulate water, cast illusions nor enchant the simplest of hearts. It wasn't until a sibling rivalry occurred that the family understood where his talent lied. His brother, in a fit of rage, threw a spell at Satoshi intent to shock him. While defending himself, Satoshi managed to not only fizzle the spell but returned it with vigor!
Unsure of how to train their son, his parents shipped him off to the academy where he could learn to hone his skills from the professionals, just as his siblings had. However, learning wasn't the only reason his parents shipped him off. Satoshi would often egg his siblings on, using that mouth of his to get in some trouble. Unable to take the constant bickering, his parents were more than relieved to send one head ache away to school... but they wouldn't tell Satoshi that.
Knowing what his strength is, Satoshi is ready to take on new challenges at school. He's not afraid of anyone as he assumes their magic is practically useless against him... well, at least the other witchlings. He's arrogant when it comes to his magic and believes he's above the other witchlings in his class. None of them can best him in a match! (Fffffft I'll iron this out more later. But you get the gist of it!)
Tea: Diluted Tranquility
Ingredients: ⨠ Crushed Mint Pleasant and refreshing, it instills a sense of concentration. ⨠ Sea Foam Light, Salty and tart. It brings a sense of serenity and adventure. ⨠ Dandelion Dust It brings a feeling of clarity and being a free spirit. ⨠ Bitter Tears Full of regret and angst. A dangerous ingredient to use. ⨠ Tidal Water Living things are still in it! It's like the ocean in a bottle. ⨠ Fool's Gold Worthless, but still sparkling.

Character Name:Kib Player Name:Silver_tigress18 Race: Human Aspirations: He wants to be one of the greatest swimmers of all time. Personality: Positive: Active - he will spend most of his time swimming or running in order to improve his stamina as well as his mental alertness. Dependable - People can depend on him for anything, he will do his best to get it done in a timely manner Fearless - Though its rare for something to scare him he is often the first to take the plunge or the one to stand tall in the face of danger, in order to help support those around him.
Neutral Candid - You could be his closest friend but that doesn't mean hes going to favor you any more than the stranger he just met an hour ago. Everyone deserves a fair shot at everything
Negative Daring - He is constantly trying to push others to be better than their limits by challenging them physically and mentally Competitive - He feels that he must be best at just about everything and doesn't like to be told he has done something horribly Moody - You can't really tell what kind of mood he will be in from one moment to the next and some would almost consider him insane
Magic Theme/Abilities: Water based, it would be great if he didn't actually have that many or very powerful attack abilities but he would be able to support others or amplify their own power to make them stronger to varying degrees as with water it ebbs and flows and so does his power. Like tides with the moon
Short Biography/background: Though he grew up with two other sibling being triplets if you could really call them that, he was the strongest of the three. Favored by his parents and regretting that factor for leaving his two siblings with less affection than he had he was constantly trying to push them to be better and by doing so pushing himself to be better for their sake.
Worried for their health and well being Kib started training away from home more and more. Often times he would be on his own during the week for days on end trying to make things better. Hoping that his two siblings would finally be able to crack from the shells and emerge to be just as wonderful as he though in different ways.
However they never did fully emerge and He didn't like watching them being left behind until he felt that he was overshadowing his siblings to much and ended up leaving home for the Academy where he had been selected to go hoping his parents would finally turn and appreciate the two that remained home.
Tea: Melon Flavored Bubble Tea
You understand that if you are a new(ish) player, if you aren't active in rp or thread with the character you win for the first 3 months you can lose it? Yes (does this also include when you let staff know that due to life situations such as health that you may be gone for a month?)

Aw what the heck...
Character Name: Florian Morray Player Name: Trixsy Race: Mononoke Aspirations: Ideally he would like to open his own shop... a shop that was both a cafe and a place to purchase various charms and spells. Oh, and he also wants to find his one true love! Personality: Florian is a hopeless romantic, but that doesn't make him an innocent, mushy flower of a boy. He thinks very highly of himself, though it doesn't help that said high opinion has been reinforced all his life. He gives the impression of being very proper, but once he's out of environments with officials he becomes quite playful. He's his most energetic outside, and when near water he just seems to be brimming with life and enthusiasm. He's also a bit spoiled and very used to getting what he wants. He prefers to stay outside whenever he can, and in fact if he can find a body of water he'll even sit at the bottom of it and sleep. He's able to breathe underwater and will either relax as a human or transform into a koi fish to laze about. Maybe someday the person of his dreams will sit beside that water and he can pop out and capture them... siigh. Magic Theme/Abilities: Unsurprisingly Florian's magic is water based. He can manipulate the water within an object to control that object... for example say someone dropped a doll in a lake, Florian could focus on the water within the doll to "bring it to life" and make it swim back to solid ground, run to it's owner, and give her a wet hug. He totally hasn't done that as a pick up attempt... nope. In theory as he gains a better understanding of his magic and grows in strength he could even attempt manipulating a living creature... we are made mostly of water, after all. In addition he can create temporary shields with water, using it to absorb the force of a physical or magical attack... but he has to be near water or have water with him to accomplish this. He's been experimenting with creating weapons in the same way and has had limited success with a dagger and a bow and arrow... but he needs to build up his endurance to do it as the weapons and shield don't last long. If he needed to use them in a fight he would need to have his timing down perfectly, else all he'd manage to do would be to splash his enemy. Short Biography/background: Florian is the only child of a very rich family. He was doted on by his mother who raised him on romantic stories where the charming prince saved his princess from evil, and they fell in love at first sight, and they lived happily ever after. Being taught that he was indeed that prince charming led to the boy performing random acts of valor to help the little girls, and even some other little boys around town and he soon had quite the fan club... but he never got "the feeling" that he was in love. It was troubling to him, since all the stories never mentioned that as a problem. While his mother doted and spoiled Florian, his father was the one that encouraged his magic. He was a good learner, doing what his instructors asked, but none of them could seem to get that extra potential to come out. His mother didn't want to send Florian away to an academy because, honestly, she didn't want to lose her baby boy... but eventually Florian himself requested it. He needed a different atmosphere anyway, he wasn't going to find his true love here! For someone with no hardships or trauma in his life, he can be quite naive and trusting. He's also developed quite a few talents to woo others. He's talented at music... primarily piano and violin, he knows quite a bit of poetry by heart, and he's even learned to bake fantastic meals for others. He enjoys making other people happy, hence his desire for a simple life with a simple shop... however, perhaps something will happen at the academy that will chance his low aspirations. Tea: Rainbow Waters A blend of sea glass, pink catnip, crushed mint, sea foam, and lavender.

Character Name: Enki Abano Player Name: Strawberri Stardust Race: Human Aspirations: To flirt with everything that moves and to eradicate the witch eater population as a Reaper. Personality: Suave Enki is smooth and he knows it. He uses this to his advantage when weaseling out of trouble. Because of this trait, he's usually very popular wherever he goes and he enjoys the attention. He loves to be the center of attention, and will generally not be pleased if someone usurps this position from him. He can turn into kind of a jerk if it happens. Flirtatious He loves to flirt. With anyone and everyone. This has been known to get him into a little trouble, but it's nothing he feels he can't handle. He doesn't differentiate on gender, everyone has the potential to be attractive to him. Just...not everyone is. And he won't flirt with those he finds unattractive. Though he can't conceive of this ever happening, if someone were ever to turn his flirting down flat, he would be shocked at first but he'd play it off. His pride might take a little hit but it's something he would be able to shrug off in an hour or so. Proud Enki takes pride in everything he does. His hair and clothes are always impeccable and he is very neat in everything. His school work is always as flawless as possible, and his grades are fairly perfect. If his pride is, gods forbid, injured seriously, he will get...pissed. Though he doesn't usually like to fight (because it would muss his hair and possibly bloody him), depending on what the affront is, he'd fight for his pride. Vain He takes a lot of time and pride on his looks. As said above, his hair and clothes have to be perfect and he will not leave the house until they are. This has caused him to be late on many occasions, not that he really cares. His scales have to be shiny and if they're not, he shines and buffs them until they are. He doesn't appreciate this part of his nature being made fun of. He is not a "sissy." He just had pride in his appearance. Such wounds to his pride have resulted in smart-a** remarks, and in one instance a fight. Ambitious Because of his history, he hates all witch eaters. His goal is to become a Reaper so that he can eradicate them from the world, or at least do his damnedest to get rid of them. Because of this, he makes sure to study and learn everything he can so there's no chance he won't make it to being a Reaper. Magic Theme/Abilities: Water-based. He can control the temperature of water. This includes turning water into ice and using the ice as weapons or shields, boiling water and using it to scald. As he grows in power, he'll be able to control the temperature of the water in someone's body. Not enough to boil their blood or anything, but enough to distract them in a fight or to help a friend if they're cold or hot. Short Biography/background: As a very young child, Enki saw his parents murdered. He had just come inside from playing in the lake behind the house, excited to grab his parents and show them the trick he'd just taught himself to do. Once inside, he ran to the kitchen, expecting them to be there making lunch. But they weren't there. He called for them, and headed to the front room. It was there that he saw two witch eaters stealing the magic of his parents and eating their hearts. Eyes wide, he screamed and ran, running until he found a place to hide. The witch eaters searched for him, but never found him. Night fell and Enki finally came out from his hiding place. After he was fairly certain the witch eaters had left, he ran to the authorities who looked into the murders. Ultimately there wasn't much they could do. It was this that formed a knot in Enki's stomach, and this knot became a ball of ambition that would push him to become a Reaper. The authorities placed him with his aunt and uncle after his parents' murder. They encouraged him to follow his goal and will continue to encourage him in everything he does. Despite his burning hatred of witch eaters, his personal honor prevents this hatred from bleeding onto Majins in general. He doesn't particularly like them and will not associate with them if he can prevent it, but he also knows that unless they become witch eaters, killing them would be murder. Tea: Tidal Revenge ✤ Sea Glass A simple piece of glassed honed by the sea to become beautiful and coveted. ✤ Shark Fin It's said that Sharks can smell blood a quarter of a mile away, and can sense a living thing because of the electricity it creates. Can you? ✤ Red Cap Mushrooms Said to grow on battlefields where much blood was shed. ✤ Passionate Kiss Flirty and Capricious kissing is....delicious? ✤ Bloody Claws Claws ripped off an angry beast. It brings about a sense of ferocity and vindictive dominance. ✤ Crushed Mint Pleasant and refreshing, it instills a sense of concentration. You understand that if you are a new(ish) player, if you aren't active in rp or thread with the character you win for the first 3 months you can lose it? Yes

Character Name: Tomo Snijders Player Name: Lilbabe808 Race: Human Aspirations: He wants to join the ranks of the Reapers, believing that slaying witch eaters and saving hearts will make him popular with the ladies. Personality: Tomo is conceited. He carries himself with an air about him like he is the hottest and best damn thing to walk the lands. Girls should appreciate his looks and feel blessed when he gives him attention, or so he thinks. Despite his overly conceited nature, he is actually thoughtful. He pays attention to what others like and don't like. He very much loves to please the girls. Tomo could be considered a player. He never stays with one girl for too long and knows the sting of a slap from one well enough. This doesn't stop him from playing the field though. He considers slaps to be a form of affection, like he's so hot that he needs to be hit. Any girl that receives his attention will soon realize that other girls that catch his eye get equal treatment. He doesn't believe in treating one better than another. Magic Theme/Abilities: Watery Illusions – He has a natural affinity to the element of water and likes to make illusions with the use of water. Short Biography/background: Tomo was an only child, not by the choice of his parents though. They tried very hard to have more children but for some reason his mother would always lose them or they would be stillborn. On the night that Tomo was born, his mother went down to the lake not far from their little cottage in Clarus Arbor. During the whole pregnancy, she had felt drawn to the lake and would often sit at the edge with her lower half in the water. That is where she gave birth, in the shallows of the lake with her husband by her side. At first it was feared that he too was a stillborn but then his limbs started to move, flailing in the water as his crying disturbed the still air around.
Tomo is the miracle baby. Oddly enough, he was born as a mononoke. His mom believes that him being a koi mononoke makes sense since she was often in the water while holding him in her womb. He was extremely spoiled growing up as the only child. His parents were so happy to just have a child that lived that they gave him whatever he wanted. There was almost nothing he couldn't get if he wanted it. This is what led to his excessive pride in himself. All the praise and love from his parents just blew up his ego beyond belief. From Clarus Arbor Tea: I would like to decide this later.
