(Intro)

Definately working on this still. Pardon me while I mash my notes into something vaguely cohesive. xD The Mariner's Revenge song (by The Decemberists) has nothing to do with anything, by the way~ xD

FEAR THE SUCKAGE.

We are two mariners~
(Asher)

Name: Asher
Guardian: Inari Brigham
Gender: Female

Personality: Asher is very quiet, enough so that you can forget she's even there. At first, when made to interact with people, she speaks in short sentences and avoids eye contact. She never speaks first. She likes to play by herself, although she wouldn't exclude anyone if they asked to play. She has an active imagination and tends to spontaneously start games of make-believe.

When something bad happens, she tends to feel like it should somehow be her fault. She'll always apologize for everything, and won't often blame others for misfortunes.

Appearance: A black cat, probably, to be specific, an American bombay.

Note: "Please don't die."

Concept: Basically, Asher befriended a reaper and when she died, the reaper, unable to handle the death of its friend, revived her. Naturally, revival, although possible, is extremely taboo and the number of people who know the actual, 'safe' way of doing it can be counted on one hand. The methods created by others require the person attempting the revival to give up thier bodies, their existance, thier souls, whatever the method requires. The person revived is never returns to the way they were. Some look like monsters, some are mentally unstable, some die soon after thier revival; those being revived are always messed up somehow.

This reaper in particular used a method that caused Asher to take his body and some of his traits, accidentally turning her into a reaper herself. She (hopefully) won't be insane.

Misc: Asher's voice has a boyish quality to it.
-Her body is androgynous; it won't have the male genetalia because she's a female, but it won't have much of a female figure because the body was a male. It won't be very obvious until later though.

(The miscellaneous notes section, to help keep me in order)

-In Asher's hometown, black cats are (supposed to be) rarely seen and are mostly found near deaths, so they are an omen of death.

-Black cats are actually the equivalent of the grim reaper, they lead the souls of the dead to the other side. They also take care of any malevolent spirits or irregulars that might interrupt the balance of souls
-->Black cat = one form the reapers can take
--->The other is a humanoid form, since that could help calm the dead person
------->They only have one human form. xD They don't get to choose what they look like.
---------->In humanoid form, they can only be seen by the spiritually aware and the dead
----->The form they take is a matter of preference
--->They have nine lives like normal cats, and, like normal cats, they can die
--->They can and will talk human talk because it can simplify things
------->but you only understand them if you're dying or dead, normally
--There's enough reapers that 'a few' can be more than a small number.

-Asher is very unaware of the reapers
--she'll be able able to speak and be heard because she's an irregularity
---Revived dead called irregulars, maybe?
--Asher will be able to shift into a humanoid once she remembers how, but I think it won't be a complete shift because she's partly human xD

Questions to ask:
-Why are the reapers cats? Who makes them/how are they made?
-Since Asher isn't quite a real reaper in the same way the other reapers are, what are the differences between her and a regular reaper?

Ideas to play with:
-Since there are others like Asher, what could they be like? What is thier story?
-What's the afterlife like?

I guess we have some time to kill~
(Inari Brigham)

Name: Inari Brigham
Nickname: Nari
Gender: Female
Age: Fifteen
Race: Human
Height: 5'3"
Occupation: High school teacher (Mythology/Japanese/sometimes PE)

Appearance: Nari has short, dark brown hair that parts to the left and blue eyes. Her skin is slightly tanned, her build is lean, and her figure is slight, enough so that if she cut her hair, she would look like a boy. Her outfits are simple, if sometimes oddly put together. She always wears pants under her skirts.

Personality: Tomboyish, cheerful, and energetic. She always means what she says and can be really odd when she's bored. She also has low gender perception; when people do mistake her for a boy she doesn't feel the need to correct them. She's not very finicky about her appearance either, and is of the "let's just suck it up and get it over with" variety when faced with something she'd rather avoid. She doesn't like when people are depressed and she doesn't like giving up on things. She also has a low temper.

Misc: Nari is blind in her right eye.
-She has good aim and a strong kick.
-She got her teaching license when she was fourteen.
-->Family: a brother (Jerry Brigham), surrogate brother (Fenri Lundage), mother and father (Thomas Brigham and Yukino Brigham [maiden name = Tsukino]; deceased)
-She has trouble sleeping on the night(s) of the full moon
-She's allergic to silver; it makes her itch
-When she gets mad, she rips them a new one with a smile :'D
-She's very oblivious and inexperienced in the love arena and shows no interest in either gender

You had a charming air, all cheap and debonair, my widowed mother found so sweet~

And so she took you in, her sheets still warm with him, now filled with filth and foul disease~
