Name- Rei (means "nothing" or "zero")
Age- 16
Date of Birth- The sixth day of the sixth month during the Year of No Moon (6-6-6)
Homelands- Forgotten Catacombs
Race- Part-anything(demon)
Class- Shape-shifter
Final- <(Broken Will)>
-Those who have witnessed this attack and lived to tell of it say that it might be described as watching a panicked Berserker with an unquenchable lust for blood mercilessly slaughter any living thing it sees. Ninety-nine percent of the time, Rei has used this move against her will; she'll do anything to avoid unleashing it. When it activates, the demon side of Rei takes over completely. She calls the demon her own personal Shinigami; death god. Once in this state, Rei can do nothing to change back. She must wait until the Shinigami's "life span" runs out (usually a few minutes, one time several hours because Rei willed it out), or someone recites the long forgotten incantation of the Nineteenth Scripture. Rei fears battle for this very attack, when Shinigami comes out of its dormant state.
----------------------------
{Weapon information}
Rei carries no weapons; using the word 'carries' in a physical state of being. Being a part demon and a Shape-shifter, Rei simply morphs into her one animal-like form; a demonic dragon, rat-like mix of features. These include her primary offensive attributes, which are her teeth and claws. Rei literally fights with 'tooth and nail'.
{Armour Information}
(Serpent Scales)
A very lightweight piece of chain-mail that covers Rei's left arm and hand. The glistening silver "scales" were created in such a way that they will fit any who wear them. They never loosen or grow too tight on the wearer. The links wrap around Rei's hand like a fingerless glove, continuing all the way up to wrap and secure itself around the most upper portion of Rei's chest; and inch or so beneath her collarbone.
[The chain-mail seems to have a life of it's own, but not so much free will. It "learns" and "remembers" the wearer's unique shape and movements until the wearer doesn't feel it on their body at all.]
{Accessory Information}
(Mark of the Shinigami)
This is a small, dragon-like tattoo placed neatly at the intersection of Rei's ribs. It is a mark to show who, or rather what she is. Her identity is painted on her body for anyone to see and discover. Though most times it's quite easy to hide with a simple garment, it's not so nondescript during Broken Will. When this powerful final is activated, the small mark with flare with light, starting at a bright red before fading to an eerie, glowing black.
[It's purpose is a warning. Two warnings actually. The first may be obvious; it's so people can see what sleeps within Rei and quickly create distance. The second is a trick Rei learned; before the Shinigami is fully unleashed, the victims have time to run. When it's still ablaze in a red glare, they'll be safe to get as far away as possible, hopefully wise enough to cover their trail]
{Physical Description}
(Human Appearance)
When in her most common state, Rei appears to be just like any other humanoid. Pale, ghostly skin is accented by her auburn hair short, cut so it doesn't ever pass her chin. A secure ribbon keeps the smooth hair tied back into a high ponytail. Due to the hair's length, the ponytail "fountains" out just a bit, not long enough to dangle down gracefully. Some of the more stubborn pieces, mostly her bangs, cannot be put into the ponytail and so they hang down over or next to Rei's face. Her eyes are a strikingly intense shade of sky blue. They almost always call for a long second glance. The sadness and tension seen inside of them add to their naturally alluring beauty. Rei stands at a sturdy 5'6" with a well-built frame. She can eat all the wants without ever breaking 125 pounds. Oddly enough, Rei also seems able to keep her four-pack abs without any constant workouts. Same goes for any other distinguishable muscle; but one would never say she's overly muscular. The tendons and muscles ripple gently over her body, not distinguishable unless pointed out or examined more thoroughly than just a friendly glance.
Rei's attire usually consists of a black, form-fitting shirt that stops an inch or two above her belly-button. The material is strong and flexible, ideal for her fighting style. The shirt straps wrap around her neck, tying into a neat knot with the half a foot of extra material flowing gracefully behind her. This leaves her back almost completely bare except for where the shirt wraps around a few inches below her shoulder blades. With her back "naked", anyone can clearly see her other tattoo. It's a solely black ink outline of a pair of wings and a spine, which lines up perfectly along the designated area. Rei's shorts are worn but holding strong, the edges looking like they were supposed to be pants until someone ripped them. It's odd, but, in the back, there are two slits in the shape of a cross resting neatly over her tail bone. When pushed from the inside out they open into a hole with about a four or five inch diameter. It's peculiar enough to me obviously intended, but peculiar none-the-less.
Whenever possible, even at times when it would be inappropriate, Rei doesn't wear any sort of footwear. She goes barefoot anywhere unless specifically told to do otherwise. At times like these, she'll reluctantly resort to thin, black nylon stockings that go up to her upper thighs. They have black leather pads attached in the foot's general area, serving as the 'shoe'.
(Usual Morph)
Although Rei is a Shape-shifter, she only has one shape that she ever willfully changes into. She can change from the time it takes for her to jump from the ground to the time she's makes contact with her opponent. Brown, dragon-like wings sprout from her shoulder blades, seeming to drag the tattoo with them. the wings don't look like they'd be big enough to support a human's weight, but Rei seems to glide effortlessly, sometimes for days on end when necessary. Besides the wings, Rei's legs and feet shift and morph into inversely jointed, talon-like claws. For the clearest pictures, just think of a Raptor's ((yes, the dinosaur)) hind legs.
A three, almost three and a half, foot long tail extends from her tail bone. Not the most pleasant of thoughts but it more than precisely resembles that of a rat's tail. Her once beautifully ghost-like white skin darkens into the lightest of greys, like she died and bled out all color. Rei's fingernails recede, leaving room for black claws to grow from the top of each finger. Her teeth, fangs most noticeably, sharpen, ready to bite through or into a variety of substances... the last changes are her eyes and ears. The tips of her ears elongate until they look almost elven, only more threatening. They looked like she's always pulling them back in a snarl when really they just form that way; though she can pivot them to listen in different directions if she so chooses.
Most importantly, her eyes change significantly. They lose their pupils, a fiery red spreading throughout the entire orb. Especially in the dark, Rei's morphed eyes glow with and eerie crimson light. Her sight changes just as much. She know sees a person's body heat rather than distinct details.
(When Shinigami escapes)
Hopefully no one will ever have to see this up close. This is the form Rei takes on during Broken Will. It looks like a much more extreme, intensified version of her other morph. The wings become larger, more reptilian. The tail grows patches of scales, her claws becoming longer and more hook-like. Curved barbs sprout along her back, down her spine all the way to the end of her tail. Thin, sickly green scales spread along her spine, wings, arms, legs, and randomly anywhere else. Rei's teeth sharpen to a demonic length, requiring her jaws to break and elongate, becoming more like a dragon's muzzle. The once auburn hair now becomes an unruly tangle of dark brown, causing her ponytail to fall out, leaving her hair wild and gnarled. Her eyes lose their glow and seem to be filled with blackest of inks. Intricate 'tattoo's spread throughout her body. Once in place, their black hue morphs into a glowing white, her skin becoming as black as her eyes.
Even Rei's movements become faster and more erratic, no pattern at all. Although this form doesn't usual last more than minutes, it's been known to end the lives of dozens in one go.
{Background}
Rei was the result of her clan's grotesque religions. Her mother, said to be "chosen in the Dark Prophecy", was injected with a dark essence; the Shinigami. The pregnancy was long, painful, and frightening; she never wanted to see the end. Rei's mother gave birth as a virgin, dying as soon as the baby was freed. The Dark Prophecy stated that she was to be killed following her birth, but a corrupted priest convinced the clan to let her live. The others protested at first, claiming that even her brithtime reeked of Shadow Magic (6/6/6),but in the end, they agreed. to make up for going against the Prophecy and allowing something to live that should not exist, they gave her the name 'Rei', meaning "nothing".
The tattoos were there right from the start, growing as she did. Rei was used in battles against her will, unable to resist the chanting of the clan's priests as they read from their corrupted scriptures. Rei learned to fear who she was; she desperately wished for control over her own being.
One night during the eclipse of a blue moon, the Shinigami gained complete control over Rei, the first time ever without the help or control of the priests. Powerless against the Shinigami, Rei watched through Its bloodthirsty eyes as it ravenously devoured the only people she'd ever known. Rei woke up the next morning, surrounded by the (mostly incomplete) bodies of her clan. Terrified and nauseated, Rei fled. The fourteen year old girl wandered the lands, frightened and alone.
Word soon reached her ears of a place. A place where people like her could go for help and training. Rei found a new goal, something else to wish for. She wished for nothing but to find that place. She now devoted her time to tracking down others like herself and following them as they traveled to that wonderful place. She lost many trails along the way, having to start with new people, but day by day, Rei got closer and closer to her destination. Eventually she lost track of how far and how long she had been traveling, only knowing that she had to get there. Rei couldn't bare to feel like a monster anymore. She needed people who could help and understand her, teaching her to live with her demon.
The Forgotten Catacombs, which before the Great Slaughter were known as the Tombs of the Powers, became the burial ground for her friends, family, and memories of how they treated her so poorly. Rei now wanders as a fifteen year old girl, fearing the one thing she can never escape from.
