Erida Seika
NPC TEMPLATE Name: Ito, Katagiri Alias: The Dragon, "Ruby" Real Age: 74 years old Phys. Age: 18 years Gender: Female Species: Shinigami Alignment: Lawful Good Appearance: A signature on his physical appearance, his joyful grin definitely stands out in a crowd. Aside from that, he has a spiky, short hair of a deep, chocolate colorization, which views as the perfect hairstyle - this is because it's wild nature allows him to look the same, even when he wakes up after a rough night (ie. no bad hairs), but almost all of his friends seem to view this as idiotic reasoning. He carries himself in a relaxed manner, standing around 5'4" and weighing 126 lbs, making him a lot of shorter than most men around him. His eyes are of a smokey topaz colorization, earning him the nickname "Topaz" in his circle of friends, whom all are called by the name of a jewel, that their eyes remind the most. He takes the lovely face claim of Satoshi Fukube from Hyouka. Personality: Raian is characterized by his cheerful, laid-back attitude, and a big grin, that he wears on his face all the time, as a sign of this. He likes to nap a lot, and seems to dislike work, unless there is a prize for doing the job - if this is the case, he will be more than enthusiastic about it. A rather comical character, Raian can come off as childish with his short-lived obsessions for random interests and awkward with his terrible jokes - he, however, displays an ability to cheer others up with his words and make others laugh at his own clumsiness. As crazy about battle as he is about video games, he's extremely happy, when he gets to show off his physical talent and combat prowess to others - he will accept any challenge, and rush into a battle without really giving it any thought first. Unpredictable and spontaneous, he is hard to read for even the most skilled, as there is simply no way of telling what he will do next. Or what he really is like. Yeah, you read right. Beneath his bold, unthinking and outgoing personality, there seems to be something more to his character - but fortunately, it's nothing like the inner darkness of his best friend. To begin with, he's way, way more intelligent than his hyperactive, oblivious behavior initially gives off to people around him. He suffers from a undiagnosed case of ADHD, that comes with an insomnia, that prevents him from sleeping without aid of external factors like pills - if you've read the profiles of his friends, they all possess great intelligence and neurological problems that come with it, and it traces back to their innately better brain functions. His "special power" is an exceptional memory and ability to see patterns between two events. Raian is caring and protective of his friends. Intended Role: Katagiri and Raian have known since the kindergarten, but she only got to know Eliyah after they got into school - after which, the three became close friends. She is part of the psychic cluster. She is Fifteenth Seat of Division 4, but despite this, she is stands around the level of a very strong lieutenant, at 3-2. As a NPC involved in a personal plot, you may ask for a permission to use her from the author, but otherwise she's off-limits. Personal Abilities: Name: Katamari [塊, "Cluster"] Effect: A mysterious phenomena, that has yet to be explained in it's purpose or mechanics, Katamari links psychics, who die together, into one in their next life. Since she was a little girl, Katagiri can recall being able to intuitively know when something was about to happen, but in Hiroshima, 1945, the human girl received her very first vision - one, where a great fire devoured the city. Hours later, she gained the ability to 'see what others were seeing', and spent her last minutes with her friends via her ability. As she awakened in Soul Society with his friends, she found herself tied to them in an unexpected way. Katamari melded their four souls into one, before cutting it in four pieces for each body to carry - and because of this, their psychic capabilities were also fused into one, resulting in the most unique effect. Though only the original owner of the power could fully harness it, the others became able to utilize it within their shared soul. It was Katagiri's power of linked the senses of others together, that allowed them to physically sense what each of them was seeing; Raian's telepathy bestowed them with wordless communication, Mei's empathy made them capable of feeling the emotions of each other and Eliyah's astral projection allowed them to literally visit each other without physically being there. Initially, the Katamari would work instinctively, but later on, as years passed, the four learned to control it, activating and deactivating it at will - one could even block the three, given they concentrated on shutting them off from their mind, but otherwise, they were given access to each other at all times. Linking themselves with other psychics, outside of their psychic cluster, became possible via eye contact. Their initial brain capacity being only slightly above that of a normal human, but as their minds were fused together, each was granted an 80% access to their brain, which would greatly enhance their individual psychic abilities. When it came to Katagiri, whom out of her cluster has the greatest number of psychic abilities, the mind-meld would enhance her powers of extrasensory perception, precognition and psychometry. She could now easily interpret the history of whatever she touched, heard, saw, tasted or smelled at will, as well as receive visions and feelings from what is yet to come - the future. Information can be absorbed via same means as the history of objects and beings, but with her skills at ESP, she mostly utilizes her intuition - in other words, Katagiri is capable of knowing things without any explanation to how she knows them. The true potential of her complex, passive powers is yet to be explored. Shikai Name: Hō-ō no Ichimei [鳳凰の一命, "Phoenix of Life"] Shikai Ability: Name: Come forth, Lazarus! Effect: Only a select few of shinigami chose not to release their true Shikai, and instead, stage a false one to hide the true nature of their sword. Katagiri belongs to that small group of shinigami. By calling out a wrong incantation and leaving out the name of her sword out, she releases an alternate Shikai, that gives her access to a single technique, which she claims is her zanpakuto's power. Fukkatsu, which stands for "Resurrection", is a healing technique, that, much like the true release, draws power from neither reiatsu nor reiryoku. Instead, it transfers her own vitality, or life-force, which is glowing red in color to the eye, and heals any and all injuries, given the needed amount of life-force is invested on the target. Much like the name suggests, it could be used to revitalize one from the dead, given they've died within the past twenty-four hours, but it both drains the wielder of the sword greatly, potentially lethally, and leaves an imprint on the target after their resurrection. When released, Katagiri gains access to 100 points of life-force, and is given 1 point per each additional post as her vitality is constantly regenerating - should she run out of her own vitality, she will find herself facing death within the next one or two posts. Healing Chart: 1 post = 2 post = 3 post = 4 post = 5 post = 6 post = 10% = 20% = 30% = 40% = 50% = 70% = Resurrection, of someone, who has been dead for less than an hour or so. 90% = Resurrection, of someone, who has been dead for more than a few hours.
