[Lord Celebi]

Welcome to the RP, Neo.

[bronislav84]

Spoiler:

Name: Karai "Kar" Horoshi

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Team: Aqua

Description: First of all reference pics. I don't know who the authors are because I found these on Goggle Image Search, but I will say that I don't own these pictures. They're not 100% to my character and she's only based on Hikage, but I will explain the differences where applicable. Warning: May be NSFW.


She's 5'6". She has brown eyes, black hair, and average Caucasian skin.

She has a small nose, high cheekbones, and luscious lips that you just want to kiss and never stop kissing. Her black hair is long down to her hips, a little puffy due to hairstyle, and has wispy bangs that hang low enough to barely cover her eyebrows. The bangs and hair wave when she walks. She also has a tattoo which looks like a necklace. See reference picture.

From the shoulders to her fingers, her skin is incredibly shiny. The reason for this is it's 100% scars from cutting herself. When a scar heals it makes the skin shiny. She sometimes has new cuts, but lately she stopped cutting herself so it's not often she has new cuts anymore.

She is extremely top heavy, and her official size is 40I. She has the same tattoos as Hikage, but hers are on the right instead of the left. She exercises as often as possible so she has a thin waist and wide hips. She has the average amount of muscle on her arms and legs. She's basically very lean and curvy in all the right places.

Now the clothes.

See pic for shirt. It's sky blue where Hikage has hers yellow. It has a snake pattern in black and white.

She has gloves which don't really cover anything, from the middle of her arms down to her hands. They look like belts. Disregard the knives as weapons. Although she uses many weapons, her primary weapon is a pair of gauntlets with three metal claws that retract into the gauntlet. See picture for the what the "gloves" look like.

For pants she wears ripped jeans with a snake pattern, and belts below the knee like on her arms. The jeans are very tight-fitting. They aren't fully closed and only stay on her just because they're tight. She wears a belt but that's not closed either. The jeans cover what needs to be covered.

She also has basic black shoes that make no sounds when she walks, so she can sneak up on anybody.

The colors change from day to day, but the outfit really doesn't.

Personality: Karai pretends to have emotions, but doesn't really have any anymore. Her personality boils down to "I don't care" unless money is involved. She pretends to be nice to others if that's part of the job she's on, but really she doesn't care for anything or anybody. In reality she only cares about what it would do for her bottom line. If you want her to feel for you, show her money. Otherwise the REAL Karai is unemotional and uncaring. If she goes on an infiltration mission or just needs to break in and charm people, she can act like a normal person and play a role. She's an extremely talented actor, and those who know her only think they know her for as long as she needs to act that way to do what she needs to do. She can pretend to have any personality or pretend to feel any emotion she needs to in order to complete her mission. Those who really know her know that she uses her acting talent all the time to fit in and not creep people out, and that many things she says to others are lies. She can fabricate intricate back stories as alibis on the drop of a pin. Of course people who know this are either no longer alive, are former/current employers, or are Hebijo graduates.

When around team members she usually isn't acting, lying, or pretending, and depending on if they were creeped out by her lack of emotions and feeling might be acting normal for them to not be creeped out. It's still just an act though.

Under her facade of not caring about anything is a very damaged person who was taught to be an unfeeling machine since the early teens. She would like nothing else than to learn to feel something again and care about people, but knows it would compromise her job integrity. For now, she doesn't attach to anybody except fellow Hebijo graduates. Everybody else is probably just going to end up a corpse anyway, so why get attached to the walking dead? Maybe this will change when Aqua takes over the world.

Background: Karai came from pretty humble and normal beginnings. She was born to pretty average parents from Ekruteak in Johto. She went to a regular school until grade 5 when she was 11 years old. No major events, just a happy childhood. Her life changed when she was to attend high school. Her parents revealed the family legacy: They were members of a secret line of shinobi and everybody in the family attended Hebijo Clandestine Academy. She was enrolled for next year.

On the surface, Hebijo was a normal school. A combination of American High School and College, students would have classes and learn like other schools. But the day was much longer and school didn't let out until 8pm. When she graduated the High School portion of the Academy, she went on to major in Mechanical Engineering. She proved quite smart and capable of designing machines and weapons.

Why did school end so late? After normal classes let out at 3pm, students were trained to be shinobi for hire. This part of the school wasn't open to the public, and the only ones who knew about it were the students and faculty. From 6th grade onward, Karai was conditioned to feel nothing for anybody. To complete the job no matter the odds, consequences, laws, or rules in place. A specialist doesn't care and doesn't get attached. Only the pay motivates them to complete their mission and keep trying.

At age 11 when she was in 5th grade her teenage development picked up extremely. Like many teenagers, she hated these almost continuous changes. Finally at age 14 in 8th grade she started feeling extreme back pain. To the point that pills didn't help kill the pain and her spine actually started to get damaged. Her doctor told her that either she would get surgery to fix it or she would soon not be able to use her legs because her spine would literally snap in two from the weight being put on it. By this time she had resolved to love her body and wouldn't change it. She needed alternatives, and Madame Hebijo was glad to oblige. The descendant of the founder and principal of the Academy had some very good connections. While Hebijo was legally funded by the Johto government, the after-hours programs needed outside funding because they weren't really all that legal. In return for their funding the partners received graduates to work for them, and it was a very good deal. Most of the funding partners were military, but a couple were less than legal. She contacted one of the big funding partners for the school named Mr. Makoto and explained the problem: An extremely talented student needed to have her spine repaired. Makoto agreed to fund the project in return for Karai and 4 others joining up with his organization upon graduation. Karai had no choice but to agree if she was to continue living the life she had gotten used to.

After several days in bed a package arrived at the school with a new form of metal. Well, sort of new. It was the rare metal Dracaria mixed with other chemicals and elements. It was grafted to her spine under the skin. The graft was found to be non conducting and non magnetic. It was also completely invisible to x-rays and would look like it's not there. Metal detectors didn't notice it either. But she had to take pain killers for life and while it was made to function with her spine and she could bend down it would take a couple of years for the bones to completely mix with the graft. Until then she had to be careful to not hurt herself and was carefully monitored. Working for Mr. Makoto would pay for her painkillers and expenses.

Over the years Karai was trained in the use of all forms of martial arts, agility, stealth, infiltration, melee weapons, and army weapons. This means she knows many ways to take down an opponent bigger than herself and doesn't need to expend energy fighting them. She can wield anything from a wooden stick to a RPG launcher, assuming she could carry said weapon around. She was also trained to drive most vehicles, from bicycles to tanks and planes.

A mastery of disguise, vocal manipulation, and alibi fabrication allowed her to be anyone in any location. Though not an expert at hacking and relying on programs to do it for her, she could easily research a target and ask people for information. She could be right next to her target but they wouldn't know it until their head was separated from their body and it was way too late.

The perfect multifaceted ninja assassin that doesn't ask questions. Or so she was taught. In private, Karai had been losing her sanity. To keep from completely losing it, she took to cutting herself. She needed to feel something, to make sure she was still alive. The training taught her much, but it also came at a great cost. Did she lose her soul? Her humanity? Was she like the machines she designed in the college years? She had to cut herself to make sure she was still alive and could feel things, even if it was just pain.

Eventually it was time for graduation and fulfilling her obligation to Makoto, now more or less heading Aqua. When the world war started Hebijo Clandestine Academy was annihilated in a staged arson on an off day and rebuilt in Lillycover City in Hoenn, closer to Makoto's location. No trace of the school was left in the original location and no leads were ever found in the investigation. All students and faculty were evacuated and are now Hoenn citizens, with the regular school part continuing the run off government funds as a legal school and the shinobi part being funded by funding partners. As before, the school hides in plain sight, looking like a completely normal school. Though Karai has had a couple of employers and gone on missions as training during school, Aqua is her first longterm employment. She may not have joined when the organization was founded, but she has been employed for 2 years now.

Pokemon: Blaziken (F), Raichu (M), Lapras (F), Hydreigon (M), Gardevoir (F), Venusaur (M)

Other: Travels with a squad of four other Hebijo graduates. Names and genders TBD. Default weapons are her claws, dual handguns, and a pair of katana. She also carries a laptop and smartphone for hacking and data retrieval if the mission calls for it. She has her Pokeballs in her pockets or a backpack if she's already carrying too much.

NOTE: This character might be better against NPCs, and I have no idea how she would operate in a PVP scenario.

[bronislav84]

Name: Droctor Amelia Anthony
Gender: Female
Age: 42
Team: This character is joining Aqua
Description:
She looks like a typical Scientist, though with differences as outlined below.

Due to not going out very much, Amelia has pale white skin. Her eyes are colored baby blue, and she has long blond hair. She wears a white unbuttoned labcoat over a plain blue t-shirt and black pants with basic white tennis shoes that have a butterfly pattern. Under all that science clothing she is pretty well endowed and possibly has time to work out. We wears glasses. She sometimes caries a smartphone and sometimes a tablet.
Personality: Amelia is intelligent and logical. She prefers solitude to working with others, and believes she is right quite often. She is a bit fanatically loyal to Diabora, though this will probably change over time. She enjoys research and discovering new things. There really isn't much to this character's personality, and it will probably be developed more during the RP.
Background: Amelia is originally from Goldenrod in Johto, long before Aqua partly razed it of course. She was born to scientist parents who were also anthropologists. You could say she was born into the family job. She was a bright child and attended an unassuming "gifted" school in Lillycove in Hoenn, though it wasn't Hebijo, mostly because the school hadn't moved to Lillycover yet. Sshe came back home to attend Goldenrod University and was one of the students who was regularly on the honor roll, graduating with a stellar GPA. She was bullied in school in general for being into books and computers more than being active. Amelia would read a lot into human cultures even while she was young. Eventually she earned her Doctorate degree in the field.

She traveled around the world a lot studying the cultures of different regions to see how they were different from each other. Eventually she came to work in Violet University and was one of the anthropology team deployed to Nasmar people's Fiore Temple where they discovered the ABHs. Understanding that these devices could literally turn the tide of any war, the four scientists separated, each taking an Ancient Burst Heart with them. She hasn't seen her colleagues in a long time and believes them to be dead.

Most recently while collecting data on culture in Lavaridge Town in Hoenn, Amelia stumbled upon a cave where Groudon slept after a battle with it's Rival Kyogre. After nursing the Legendary back to health, it decided to leave the cave with her. She had befriended it and it allowed itself to be caught in a Ball. During this time she didn't have much human interaction and talked to Diabora a lot. Curious about how Diabora was contacting her she decided to research the Burst Hearts to find out exactly how they worked, but she needed funding and resources. Making a deal with a some scientists fired by Petrovich and a small illegal manufacturing firm, she started the Black Market Burst Heart Ring. All she had to do was coordinate the shipping orders, oversee them, and digitally sign them. Otherwise the operation expanded on it's own and operated pretty much without her supervision.

Through trial and error with many broken BHs she figured out how they worked. She had more than enough funding for her research and discovered a flaw in the manufacturing process. The mass produced BHs had a magic catalyst part to them that would wear out. This was due to requiring an ancient spell that the Nasmar people from Fiore had used to get closer to their Pokes. Diabora was more than happy to teach her the correct version of this spell in exchange for her loyalty and devotion. She was convinced that Dr. Petrovich had an incomplete or improperly made version of the spell being used for manufacturing and casted by stupid machines, which is why the biotech microchip that controlled it's activation would wear out and eventually break. Over many months Amelia learned much about the Magitek called bursting from the one she called the Voice of the Heart. She was about to attempt to take apart the ABH in her possession to put it back together when Karai and her squad stumbled into the Under Ruins by tracking the IP address of her computer console.

Proposing she join Aqua in exchange for safety and stable funding, Amelia agreed on the condition that the Voice of the Heart be allowed to test the soon to be new owner of the ABH. She was defeated, though she put up a good fight.
Pokemon: Groudon, though this Poke will probably be taken away. Otherwise none.
Other: This character is a shared player character for Aqua players, though will primarily be written by me.
