Persona
[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background:url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2up94kh.png); width: 450px; color:#360000; box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px 2pt #360000; border-radius: 0px 0px 50px 50px;] Tacit and Reserved; Both of these traits are key factors in Kogaku's personality. Due to her calling she has always lived in a very reserved state. Her emotions and feelings are kept in check at all times. This goes hand in hand with her tacit nature. She is not prone to chatter or gossip. Far more likely would be to hear a cryptic remark pass from her lips with no explination to follow. She has a frustrating habit of not explaining things, even if a person does not understand. She looks on in a mix of pity and jealousy at their ignorance. Mature and Private; Once more her calling as a Soul Piper plays a large roll in her personality. Kogaku is severely mature for her age. She is not prone to excitement or emotion. She plays no social games and approached life with a very mature outlook. In such she is very private about her own life and has a disdain for overly nosy individuals. Those who attempt to pry into her life will find themselves stonewalled at every corner. The only 'people' the little piper has ever truly let in are the animals whom she calls her friends. Macabre and Devoid; While some consider her outlook and comments macabre, the truth is it is just the way she thinks after having led restless spirits the majority of her life. Death to her is but an integral part of life. On the same note humans and spirits alike feel that she is devoid of emotion. She calls herself 'neutral'. She is not one to judge or condemn anyone for their actions. She shows a distinct lack of empathy and many feel she is incapable of love. While many who exhibit these traits have built a wall around them, the truth of the matter is that Kogaku has always been this way. Honorable and Responsible; While Kogaku can be disinterested and uncaring she is nothing short of honorable. If she gives her words she keeps it without trying exploit loopholes or get out of her duty. All oaths are sacred to her. On the same note she is very responsible. Any reactions caused by her actions are for her and her alone. She works hard to go make the proper decisions so as to minimalism any negative effects that could be caused by her actions. On that same note she always gives one hundred percent, devoting her everything to her actions so as to make them truly worthwhile. Calculating and Impartial; Kogaku carries a certain air about her when it comes to human affairs. She considers herself very impartial to them. She believes she is much closer to the spirit world than she is the real world so she stays out of human affairs all together. She is also very calculating. While may gather an opinion she will not offer it. But she will calculate every details of every information given to her in order to paint a proper picture within her mind. The truth after all often lies in the middle of the road, not on one side or the other. Every movement and thought needs to be in truth, and thus in calculation. |
Visage
[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background:url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2up94kh.png); width: 450px; color:#360000; box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px 2pt #360000; border-radius: 0px 0px 50px 50px;] At five feet and four inches it is quite clear that the young Kogaku still has room to grow. Weighing in at only one hundred and twelve pounds leads to modest curves that have not quite finished their growth yet. Despite the ebony locks that fall to frame her face around her jaw, her most noticeable feature is her eyes, for more than one reason. Often the young Ranzatsu is spotted wearing a patch upon her left eye. Her right eye is a startling shade of red that is usually reminiscent of a dojutsu but that is not the case for her. Her left eye was once red, but now when her patch is lifted, which is most usually when a fight gets serious, it is shown to be a shade of green. The patch she wears is clinically white, with a band on each side so the small elastics can be seen stretching across her pale face. She keeps many extras of these hidden about her person should one be lost. Set against her pale face are her cherubic lips in a pale shade of coral that looks most unnatural. Unlike most females her clothing does not often deviate. A white button down shirt covers her body, the collar neatly folding over a red boy she wears about her neck. Over all of this goes a dark blue blazed, though occasionally she wears black. This blazer has a double set of gold buttons to keep it securely closed. A blue skirt hugs her waist and hangs just below her knees in a chaste fashion. Beneath the skirt she wears simple black shorts to further the chaste nature of her dress. A belt looks out of place upon her waist. It is this belt where she holds a multitude of weaponry from knives and shuriken to makibishi and grenades of all sorts. Perhaps one of the most versatile weapons she carries are her bo-shuriken, which are actually elaborately decorated hair pins that she often wears. At least two of the jeweled pins adorn her hair at any time, acting as beautiful but deadly clips. A black cloak is fastened around her shoulders with an elaborate pin in the shape of a leaf and vines. This cloak holds an expanse of lock picking kits which are most certainly more than anyone could ever use. These she has found over the years but she is sure it is time to get rid of at least some of them. Her ‘blazer’ actually extends slightly past her hips, this is because it is actually a modified robe that holds further grenades, tracking needles, an aersol spray can, and goggles. The odd amalgamation of items she carries are in case she should ever need one, though she does not rely upon weaponry as such. Upon her legs are thick white stockings and reinforced black shoes. The hard plastic platforms lift her another two inches from the ground so as to raise her height ever so slightly. She makes it clear that the shoes are platforms as opposed to high heels which are worse for your legs. On that same note Kogaku is not one for make up or overly elaborate hair styles. She is very minimalistic and puts little stock in personal appearance. Function over fashion is a much repeated mantra of the so-called ‘Soul Piper’. |
Chronicle
[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background:url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2up94kh.png); width: 450px; color:#ccccff; box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px 2pt #360000; border-radius: 0px 0px 50px 50px;] As long as I can remember I’ve been a soul piper. With the power of the Mateki I lead the departed souls to the land of the Beyond. Something in the flute leads them and causes them to follow in my wake. Leading them to the gate is not the problem, for they go with ease, but when the flute stops they break free. Those who have already passed through the gate struggle to return to the world they once knew. They constantly struggle and fight to find their way back into our world. Sometimes they make it, and sometimes they don’t. Every reflection is an open invitation for them to try and fight their way back. Every mirror, every window, water, and flame. They are all open portals that the spirits of the departed use to try and claw their way back into our world. For most people these are nothing, they do not have the sight required to see those spirits, but for me… I can see them. When they see me they know that I am capable of seeing them in return thus enraging them further. For one to slip out is a rare occurrence but it has happened. The last time a spirit escaped a portal they took over the body of a man. It was then that I lost my eye. While I tried to pipe the soul from the possessed body the man took out my eye. I was barely able to play the spirit back into the real from which he came. Sometime later an emergency surgery and a less than willing donor resulted in me returning to my normal two-eyed state. The one problem being while my eyes were normally red my left eye was now green. I’ve often hidden this new deformity but this is what happens when a spirit breaks free. That night the only thing that saved me was Ridori, or Wataridori to be technical. Ridori is a Ziz whom I am honored to call my friend. While she is incapable of fighting the incorporeal she was capable of getting me to a hospital. The fight I've found out was difficult for her, because she knew I was being injured but between the close proximity and the possession she could not aid without either hurting me or the innocent man the spirit had taken over. Once the fight was done she was capable of taking me to a hospital to try and save my eye. Since then we have had no more incidents. We hope to avoid them all together and we both do the best we can to make sure the gates to the Beyond are locked firmly in place. The only problem now is my flute was broken during the struggle. It is not just any flute that a soul piper plays, but a rather special one to carry the tune. I am dead in the water so to speak while a new flute is crafted for me to be used. Ridori and I are both on our strongest guard during this down time when I am vulnerable to attacks. |
