Noir Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Kitsu Kageko Kitsu Kageko Lion Clan Sodan-Senzo Gender: Female Age: 15 Height: 5' Eyes: Hazel Hair: Fiery Orange/Yellow Appearance: Kageko is rather petite young lady with piercing hazel eyes and a fiery mane of hair that is usually tamed into a banded ponytails on either side of her face. She wears a hooded robe with the Kitsu family mon emblazoned on the bottom of each sleeve and the mon of the Lion Clan on her back. Try as it might, even the voluminous robe with its large hood cannot totally conceal the striking beauty of this young Lion. Her features so soft and elegant, almost feline. Beneath the robe, she often wears her favorite kimono decorated with scenes of the Spine of the World Mountains at dusk bearing her family mon on her left sleeve. Her scroll satchel rests on her right hip while her wakizashi rests on her left side, in her obi, occasionally accompanied by her han-kyu and quiver resting on the hip. Personality: Kageko has a quiet sadness about her. She is very polite, bowing graciously and talking softly though sometimes to people who are not there, which can be unsettling to people at first. Her gaze often drifts off into a forlorn nothingness only to be suddenly brought back by a question or comment directed at her. Strangely though, she does seem to be able to pay attention to conversations and the like in these moments. Those who spend extended time with her soon discover that she does not sleep well, apparently plagued by terrible nightmares, the source of which is unknown. As a result, she often rests by spending time meditation or playing haunting melodies on her shakuhachi (bamboo flute). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirumoto Rin Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 "Think lightly of yourself, and deeply of the world" Name: Myrumoto Rin Gender: Female Age: 16 Height: 5' 6'' Weight: 120 lbs Hair: Dark Brown, Worn Shorter than normal for a girl Eyes: Brown Appearance: Rin is a bit tall for a girl and a little bit more curvy than the average with broad muscled shoulders and a large bosom. Her dark brown hair is worn much shorter than normal for a woman and her large brown eyes are always sparkle with a glint of humor or mischief except when she is sad and they darken with unspent tears. While pretty with a well proportioned face and pleasant features she is a far cry from the ideal of beauty to which most Woman aspire too. Having been raised in a decidedly non traditional way for a Samurai-ko, first by the old couple who were the caretakers at her mothers house and then by the Denizens of Togashi Castle until she left to join the Mirumoto school, she has a bit of trouble with the etiquette and manner of a Lady. While she can dress in the noble finery of her station she prefers simple clothing and will dress In her Jade Green Kimono with the Dragon Clan Symbol on its back and smaller Dragon symbols on the sleeve edges and Hakama, unless formality ordains other wise. She wears her Family Mon on her left over her heart and her Daisho, which were her mothers are always worn properly with reverence except when manners dictate otherwise. Personality: Rin is outgoing and gregarious She is extremely brash and will take offense at the slightest hint of insult;t to her, her family, her clan or her friends and will always demand apology or satisfaction. She is very Confident in her abilities and hotblooded to a fault. But she has a softer side as well. she will spend hours studying a flower, bird, or insect drawing it on papers in many different styles and will often color the the drawings which she saves in a small box which is always with her.

Shosuro Toshi Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Shosuro Toshi Scorpion Clan - Courtier Gender: Male Age: 16 Height: 5'8 Weight: 150 lb. Hair: Short black hair. Eyes: Pale green. Appearance: Toshi appears a slender youth, face much concealed from the nose down by a mask of a steel-gray color. Though the mouth is stylized open, a trick of its shape and shadows obscures the human lips and mouth even in the midst of conversation. His fine clothing bears the Scorpion mon and the line beneath: "I can swim." What he bears by his waist is a fan and a wakizashi (plus tanto), but no katana - reminding that he is a courtier who cannot fight his own duels. Personality: Toshi seems calm, educated and observant... but there is as yet no reason to differentiate him from the mass of Scorpions. He does demonstrate an interest in the theater.

Kuni Taka Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Kuni Taka Crab Clan Kuni Shugenja Gender = Male Age = 14 Height = 4'10" Hair = Shaven!, but would be black Eyes = Slate grey - almost black Appearance Despite his small size he is quite stockily built in order to help him wield the Tetsubo he generally carries over one shoulder. He is dressed in quite plain, average quality clothes. Typically kimono and hakama with a travelling cloak and a hat to cover his shaven head. Although he only wears his Wakizashi in his obi he keeps his katana in his backpack if circumstances dictate he should need it. He knows how to use either blade or tetsubo and is prepared to do so in battle, but as a shugenja does not indulge in duelling. Personality Taka is intelligent and determined both of which show in his slate grey eyes. He is small for his age and this caused him to miss out on his ambition to be a Kuni Witch Hunter when the apprentices were chosen. However, this has driven him to learn all that he can to survive and perhaps even thrive in his environment. In the Crab lands this has meant learning to fight despite being a Shugenja, to heal others and to bring destruction to the tainted denizens of the Shadowlands. Now he has been thrust into the world outside the Crab lands he has learnt that the rules are very different and he is trying to absorb the information he needs to survive there. However, he does not want to reinforce the image of Crabs being rude so rather than asking lots of questions he tries to keep quiet and observe as much as he can. Although he is small in stature and younger in years than many of his travelling companions he has seen and dealt many times more death and destruction than his companions during his years of apprenticeship on the Wall and travelling into the Kuni lands. This shows in his eyes which seem much older than his years, his readiness to join in the drinking and jollity of the evenings at the way stations, but also his self-imposed limits to that same drinking. He knows the penalties that come in the deaths of friends and family for being incapable of fighting or casting whenever necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakita Zoyu Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 "Life is found on the Moment's Edge" Name: Kakita Zoyu Gender: Female Age: 15 Height: 5'4'' Weight: 115 lbs Hair: White with a lock of black; very long Eyes: One Blue, One Green Appearance Kakita Zoyu is a rare beauty, even among the refined aesthetics of the Crane, with an enviously pale and silky complexion, enticing mismatched eyes of blue and green, and stunning facial features, her full lips usually curved in a playful, enigmatic half-smile. Her voice is dulcet and melodic. Her glistening, naturally white hair, highlighted by a streak of pure sable, has never been cut and would fall to her knees if not elegantly styled and bound. Her figure is sleekly toned, yet curvaceous and well-endowed and she moves with languid, sensuous grace, as if just a step away from dancing. Her azure kimono is cut to emphasize her curves and movment, and patterned with the images of birds and sakura blossoms, with her clan mon on her back and her family mon on her right sleeve, where her ancestors can guide her actions and blade (to varying degrees of success). Her Katana and Wakizashi - fashioned by her father's own hand - ride at her hip, as natural to her as an extension of her own arm, her obi drawing attention to the fine curve of hip and waist. Personality Zoyu is a proud, gracious and vivacious young woman, her mismatched gaze at turns coy or direct, with an inherent sensuality she is beginning to explore. She has a tendency to stand closer to others, with seemingly accidental contact, that isn't quite intrusive enough to break propriety and is free with lavishing her attention on men, and even women, that catch her eye if its returned in kind and then some. She is beautiful, is well aware of it, and expects others to be aware of it as well. Dancing and Dueling - which she sees as just another kind dancing - are two of her greatest loves and she takes almost any opportunity to engage in or witness either. When dancing or dueling, she possesses an imperturbable and poised calmness that belies her youth, completely living on the Moment's Edge, and her blade is ever ready to defend the honour of family, clan, and friends... or those who have attracted her eye. Though she can't lie for the life of her, no more than the edge of a blade can lie, she rarely reveals all she knows, hiding behind a pleasant and mysterious half-smile. For those who look below the surface, they may notice a yearning for something or someone she keeps private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
