Age:
--17 years

Birthday:
January 19th

Relationship Status:
Single

Sexuality:
--Straight

Personality:
The woman is calm and collected, yet she holds more of an enigmatic aura to her. She will reveal absolutely nothing of herself even if it's the given time, and prefers to keep herself concealed in any way possible. Though she's not a very social person, she will find the time for her friends and those she trusts.

Despite her dark aura and seemingly evil and cold ways, she's a relatively calm and level-headed person. She is able to keep her cool in heated situations and even make even the worst situations turn themselves around.

However, Suka has a nightmare of a temper, and when made angry she will lose all of her cool in less than five seconds. To add on to her already bad attitude towards people in general, she's partially insane.

Biography:
Seven Ravens
Suka was conceived like any other, but at her mother's sacrifice. Suka was a difficult child to raise, to say the least. If Sacrifice were to be personified, then Guilt would be the child.

Suka was born into the world, but was to never be. Her mother was young, at the height of her life when she conceived Suka. Waiting on their knees was nine suitors. The nine suitors each had something to offer, but Suka's mother (Tereza-- suppose she was born out of reality) felt obligated to marry the ninth who was supposedly the manliest of them all. The only reason she married him was because it was his child in her belly.

And so Tereza married the unloved ninth suitor, later giving birth to Suka out of "a mother's sacrifice". Suka grew up much unwanted and much unneeded, for her mother was still wallowing in her regret to care about the well being of her daughter or husband, who was becoming more and more depressed day by day. At last her mother left and her father... didn't care.

Slowly, Suka began to become more and more of an outcast, for family had become a very unlikely and unreachable bar. Suka took to more dark methods as to what family really was. The world was a curse to her, it held no sentimental value for the connotation had long since disappeared with the shadows that stretched across the fields she had grown up in. At the mere age of seven, Suka ran away from home to hide among the poverty stricken population of adults. The girl grew up knowing nothing, being nothing. The personality of Suka was born by the distant cries for help and darkening hearts.

It wasn't until the age of seventeen that Suka became a Warrior internally physically. The woman was given a chance by the ravens she cowered with for so long-- to become them, to become what they represented. And so it was, but not without sacrifice. Forever, Suka will live at seventeen and see only from the darkness, never again to touch the enlightments that the world had to offer. Forever, Suka will carry what the previous Warrior of Darkness did-- Guilt.

Perspective Past: W.I.P

Born Nevermore-- Guilt Evermore

Part 1
It was only a length ago I remember clearly-- clearly as daytide-- that I was just a young girl, growing up abnormally --...

Part 2
I had walked for what seemed like eons (for another asylum had yet to come my way), and maybe it had been. Perhaps the stench of death had long since fallen over my countenance--...


Abilities:



||-- Ravens
In order to disappear from seemingly impossible or even fatal situations, Suka can turn herself into a flock of ravens. This can't be used for attacks; a flock of birds is extremely tedious to control at once. And in order for Suka to manifest from the birds, all the ravens have to be together. She can use individual ravens to spy on someone, but she can do nothing but that. Killing a raven will result in no huge happening, but it will be harder for Suka to get away.

Suka has a telepathic connection with her ravens; she talks to them and she can summon them for company if she wishes. She taught her ravens to be hunters; not scavengers... for the most part.


||-- Shadow Manipulation
Simple enough; Suka can manipulate shadows. This is useful for hiding and uncovering hidden dangers and for scaring people half to death (she can make the shadows appear to be something they aren't; say a monster. But the monster isn't real, nor can it do any damage).
She uses this more for illusions sake; it puts her opponents under the thought that what she has created is really there and she may make it look like they are bursting through walls, when really nothing is happening.

Along with this, she can form the shadows into things very real and capable of damage and trapped for just a set amount of time. Her personal favorite is the manifestation of a raven colossus from the surrounding penumbras. This is a skill that she has mastered completely-- it's almost impossible for this to backfire on her. It can cause damage, fly, carry, and trap up to three selected targets.

◣Now on a more... malevolent side.◥ She may summon things from the darkness. Creatures that should have stayed in Hell, things of nightmares and the things that even Lucifer himself locked away. These are very real, and very dangerous. It's rare Suka will feel threatened enough to summon them from their chains, but it's certainly possible.


||-- Aura
Suka has this black aura that glows white on the edges, when it's visible. This aura is almost like a ghost; using her mind, Suka can will the aura to pick up objects or even use minor attacks against her enemies. She can use it as a shield or she can manifest it into a weapon. However, if her mind is troubled or she can't focus, it will automatically disappear. After that, it's beyond frustrating to get it to come back.
When she's angry or troubled, her aura tends to destroy things: picking up objects that are lying around and throw them around, windows breaking, lights exploding, rocks cracking in half, ect. Though this will do nothing if it's a living being.
Her aura can also be used to stop things; if a baseball is thrown towards her head, if she sees it, then her aura will surround it and stop it. She can even send the thing going back to whom ever threw it. If something is travelling too fast, Suka can do nothing to stop it.


||-- Psychological Manifestation
Anything she sees or desires will appear in front of her. This only works with inanimate objects and imaginings. If she wanted a 3-D illustration of the galaxy in front of her, it will appear. Though if she wants answers, they will appear in some form of hints and pieces of usually irrelevant information. This happens because her mind is so troubled; if her head were to be cleared, it would be easier to conjure what she wants.



||-- "The Sight"
When desired, Suka may look into the eyes of her ravens. She may feel everything they're feeling, and may see everything they are seeing. It takes a moment for her to fully regain her senses, so if thrust out of her sight and into a battle situation, she will be at an immediate disadvantage.

Also using the Sight, she can see bits and pieces of the past and the near future. Prophecies seem to be her favorite thing to tell, ancient or coming. In order to do this, there has to be some kind of element near by. The easiest ones to use are shadows and water. Earth cannot be used for obvious reasons, and air requires too much focus.


||-- Cast
Suka is skilled in the arts of witchcraft. When provided the right ingredients and the right times, she can cast spells on to whom ever she wishes. Now, if you know a thing or two about witchcraft, you will know the purpose of it is not to harm others. She does these purely out of good intention-- if she feels that someone is causing her or another harm, she may decide to curse you. The curse will only last as long as she believes that someone is causing harm. They are minor curses, and will only do so much-- it's ill luck she's after. Ill luck counts as losing something of importance or forgetfulness or even returning bad karma on to them. She can't cast these spells on a moment's notice, nor can she remove them on a moments notice.


||-- Darkness
Her most powerful and very real ability-- using anything around her, the air even fire, she can engulf it in her shadows and use it to her aid. Surrounding fire in her shadows, she can control that bit of fire. Upon this happening, it will turn either grey or black. She can do this to living things, but afterwards the effects are permanent. Humans are the easiest thing to control, for they are weak and have no power. The effect is death. However, things with great amounts of power can not be controlled. This ability drains her own life slowly-- in order to regain this life, she has to kill another after using this.

"At times she may seem a little heterosexual, but she considers them friendly displays of affection. "
^Do you mean homosexual? Because heterosexual == straight.

The thing with 'kawaii' is that, being a Japanese word, it's a very specific Japanese oriented term, i.e. the user of the term would also probably be somewhat versed in Japanese anime/manga culture too and properly identify Suka as Japanese versus all the other Asian heritages in order to call her that. When it comes to any other sort of person, would she flip if someone called her 'cutie' or 'cute'? How about 'love' or 'darling'?

Is Suka not human? Demonic red eyes are not common, especially if they shift into that colour. She seems like she could be a magic user, especially with all the electronics going wonkers around her when she's mad and the lightning/thunderstorms following her.

You say she's a Capricorn. A nice touch would be to include her exact birthday, but it's not necessary.

Overall, the character concept is not too bad; it just needs some refining. She's an interesting character; the meaningful name and her heritage makes her special. I can see the sort of archetype she is too. The character sheet write up makes her seem a bit all over the place though. She's shy and timid and a party animal all at once? As well, I'm surprised that despite being loud and cruel and a party animal and somewhat perverted and seductive when she feels like it, she has no taste for alcohol and hates other people who show off a flirty side. It's also not clear, with her seemingly extreme desire for solitude and aloneness, why she would be so into parties and clubs when those involve such a high degree of socialization. These are all just kind of loose ends that need to be tied.

Have you ever RPed with her?

Hm, very good advice :3 Thanks for that!

Oh bloody hell, I can't believe I
typed that xD Thanks for correcting me!

Really it depends on what the storyline is for her
to be human or not, but in this case she isn't.
(Forgetful British girl forgot to put that -.-).

Some of the information used
was taken from the two profiles I
have in a couple guilds, one of
which was fantasy based. So that explains
the whole eye thing there.

I've Role-played with her once or twice,
so she's not too developed yet.
