nicknames – she rarely goes by her given name and chooses instead to go by aiko or simply ai
age— fifteen
apparent age- fifteen
gender— female, bi-gender
pronouns – they/them, she/her
species— human
abilities - unknown

appearance— a small and seemingly sickly girl, while ai is many things - ugly is not one of them. while many would be quick to call her cadaverous, her lithe frame is soft and well-proportioned. though she hardly reaches five foot, height has never been her sore point as going unnoticed is the norm for her though if anything she loathes being overlooked.
aiko tries to keep her hair neat. note that tries. while she can't go a day without washing it, she has no problem with cutting it on her own - and let me tell you that aiko is by no means a talented hairdresser. her locks are uneven, and her fringe is choppy, all over the place, and constantly seems to be getting in the way of her glasses. Because of this she often ends up pulling her hair up into two untidy plaits or a bun, anything really to keep it out of the way.
now, as for those glasses, aiko does need them. or, she did. wearing them has just become a habit nowadays, and she's found there is something comforting about having them on.
i'd be lying if i said aiko's eyes were piercing orbs of obscurity and enigma; truth be told they're dull. these eyes aren't ones to weave a tale of sorrow and times gone-by; they're lifeless and commonplace and give you a good idea of just how blind she has become over the years.
height – 4’9”
weight – 124 lbs
hair colour – strawberry blonde, dyed

ai generally comes off as tired and dazed.
her personality generally shifts depending on who she's under the influence of and who she's surrounded by. she does her best to form a personality based on what these people like the most, only to receive positive attention from them. ai doubts the possibility of actually having a personality that is not false or a creation made to attract love. she will range from sweet to charming to cruel if it is needed.
aiko comes off as a fairly sweet, submissive kid, and she usually goes along with what others want. she will put up no fights and try to be as easy to get along with as possible, however becomes conflicted when two or more people want something different, but she will act in whichever way that gets the most positive responses.
all of ai's behaviour is based on her desperation for love and affection from other people, and she has a history of doing what it takes to get "proof" of this love out of people. she'd often consider sex or physical attraction as proof of love, if not receiving constant attention from the other party. her obsession with receiving love from others has resulted in her getting hurt many times, by both ai herself and others.
aiko holds a strong belief that her worth is completely dependent on the attention she receives from other people, and will often engage in self-destructive behaviour if her expectations and desires regarding attention are not met. she has a strong interest in and is drawn to anything considered “creepy”, especially places and people.

slowly, she became involved with a bad crowd, and experienced things that perhaps could have waited 'till she was a bit older. her behaviour changed drastically, though even that went unnoticed at home. under-eating, self-harming, substance abuse, even to the point of sleeping around, she slowly sunk lower into a depressive state and became overly reckless.
ai's behaviour became more and more destructive and violent with both herself and others, though her attitude was still very charming, attracting many people. she incredibly charismatic and had an impressive reputation among peers, especially in school. She was a great actor and used this to her advantage.
during her teen years, ai still managed to hold onto her reputation among others, while balancing her school and work life (and avoiding having her work found out by other students). she put heavy focus on her social life in school, and made sure to keep her reputation protected. over these years she began to feel much more strongly for feminine apparel and genderless pronouns. while slowly coming out about this, her image among others proceeded to plummet immediately. she began to face violent bullying and harassment. this made her close up more and more.
though at first it was nothing drastic ai quickly began to change herself, moulding her appearance and personality to attract attention; sometimes positive, sometimes negative, but still attention was attention and she would take what was given.
her want for (preferably positive) attention stems from her past, from the lack of attention she received as a child and the bullying she faced as a teen. never once did she manage to overcome it but did, over the years learn to deal with it in the best way she knew how.[/fancypost][/fancypost][/fancypost]

full name— Hisashi Jōnen
nicknames -
age— ?
apparent age- 18 years
gender— Male
pronouns - Masculine
species— Tengu
abilities - Flight: An innate skill made possible by the feathery appendages on his back. They aren't just there for presentation. When it comes to ambushes, he is a valuable asset. Diving from the sky to snatch up enemies and dropping them from perilous heights. So long as nobody has their eyes glued to the sky of course. You would think that wings that are powerful enough to keep his body afloat are as tough as bricks but no. They're an Achilles heel you could say. Perhaps in another decade, they will be more resilient.
Lightning: Meeting Hisashi for the first time is a shocking experience. Literally. He has a habit of giving other people a static-shock. The action is harmless to the receiver, though they might be startled. Since it is often misconstrued as intentional and thus evokes a person's irritation, he avoids physical contact.

The lack of control can be considered a defence mechanism rooted in his subconsciousness. This static-shock is unavoidable, people who touch him will receive a static-shock. Thankfully, he has better control of manipulating lightning. It requires him to actually pay attention in order to direct a bolt of lightning potent enough to do actual damage onto a target. People that are struck may end up unconscious, lose feeling in the area that is hit, or get a bad case of nausea. In some cases things end up burnt. But in order to inflict damage equivalent to the latter, there must be a storm brewing above him, which gives him a strong source of energy to amass.

Storms: Having honed in on this ability a lot more, he only requires a few minutes to create one. Gusts of wind will push clouds into one particular area. With further provocation from a Tengu will darken and shoot down rain. Water droplets might be replaced with hail if the climate is cold enough. Mostly, Hisashi partially uses this ability to evoke strong gales to aid in his flight. Though he has also used it as a means of retreating and hiding from people.

appearance— Some people wish for Hisashi to be smaller. Sometimes he nods in agreement. Exceeding six feet, he sticks out in a crowd, making it impossible to be inconspicuous. Throw in a set of wings that loom over his body, and he's as detectable as fire in the dark. A life of flying and constant movement gives him a rather rugged body. Although his skin isn't marred or wrinkled it is neither smooth or pristine. Which is unsurprising as he is constantly exposing himself the weathers elements.

As permanent as the head above his neck, his wings can not be hidden away with a spell. Although, he has never tried to rid them from sight. When they are drawn out to their full span, feathers fanning out proudly, he gives an illusion of valour. A reminiscent of his ancestors. The combined weight of his his body and wings add to 191lb.

Just like his hair, the feathers are a thick coat of black. They are sleek and lustrous, clearly well tended to. His hairstyle on the other hand is a different story. Short with a fringe brushing to the left of his face, it has a knack of becoming a tumbling, static mess.

People that aren't a Tengu don't have the highest opinions of him when they only have his appearance to go by. It is probably his height. He guesses it makes him look like a menace. His facial structure is probably a second reason. It's all pointed edges, sharp, a narrow pointy nose; it often results in a restingface that looks stern or grumpy.

A third reason is that Tengu nails are too similar to talons; perfect for snatching up children and eating them. Hisashi snorts whenever he hears that rumour, waggling his black talon-tipped fingers. These nails are better at cutting than snatching.

Some unease is likely to rise due to his eyes. It is a radiant green, splinters of gold striking from the iris to the edge of the pupil. In places lacking light, his eyes are faintly luminescent, seemingly to exude a glow. 'weird', people will say. Hisashi will shrug. There's little he can do about it.

The only thing nobody gets their feathers ruffled over is his ears. Probably since they can't feel alarmed by them. Long and pointed, much like his face, it lacks a softness of smooth curves. Three earrings adorn his right ear. The lowest one is a simple red stud, the upper two are circular rings crafted of silver. There are a few who point his ears out but they are often remarks born of curiosity rather than wariness. Although, most people are drawn to more prominent features. Such as the smile that makes its appearance whenever he speaks of his interests or simply finds something amusing. It shatters the assumption of him being foul-tempered, contradicting that aura he has around him by appearing gentle.

Pants are never a problem for Hisashi. One leg went there, the second over there, pull it up and tada You're wearing pants. It's shirts he struggles with. He can understand the importance of Leather Armour that is crafted specifically for his kind; Anything that stops an arrow embedding deeply in his gut is fondly thought of. Yes, both shirts and armour require the same amount of time to put on but there is no benefit for cotton tops. They offer little protection. But they are comfy; Pillowy and soft, like cottoncandy.

Back to the topic at hand. If one happens to be curious as to how Hisashi can wear shirts read on, if not, skip this paragraph.
This Tengu wears shirts that are backless, a portion of cloth at the top and bottom remain at the back of his shirts to ensure the article remains in place. The wide gap between the strips allow room for his wings. Most of his clothes are made in this manner. His wings, particularly when folded, obscure the hole from view. So it appears as normal as any humans' clothing. His shirts range from grey flannels to loose, plain tops.
height - 6'3
weight - 191lb

miscellaneous - I really wanted a character with noticeable pointy ears. This was the only face claim I could find. Although canonically this guy has red eyes I decided to make my character's eyes green seeing as there are already quite a few characters with a trait in the red spectrum.

A big guy like him looks like trouble doesn't he? Which, if bribed, isn't far from the truth. But being an opportunistic hireling is only a hobby. Hisashi is a very Inquisitive individual. While some people lose the passion for knowledge the longer they live, Hisashi's quest of broadening his intellect expands with each passing season. Considering how long he's been around, his curiosity is monumental. If a rumour or piece of information catches his interest, he'll start digging to gather a better understanding of it. The next best thing to learning would be teaching. For this reason he is helpful; tutoring is fun. Even if the person being trained is a lost cause. He at least gets the pleasure of blabbering about something he knows. His head is often buzzing with tales of grandeur; he can't resist the idea of something better. He likes the challenge of gaining the unobtainable, and is prone to going on wild goose chases because of it. He is a constant victim to temptation. Who doesn't want nice things? Most of his actions are often motivated by a personal gain.
Is he Selfish? Yes, unabashedly so. But Hisashi hasn't survived this long by selling out every person he associates with. To some degree, he is honourable, and won't turn his back on people or relinquish any secrets. But if gems are involved- oh, he will be very torn over what decision to make.

Yet despite his avarice, he can't turn a blindeye on injustice. Which, if one happened to know about his past activities, makes him either a hypocrite or somebody trying to redeem himself. Honestly, Even Hisashi isn't sure which one it is. He does try to be sincere, it's something he wants to be. But that's as likely as him becoming a sulker. There are moments where he is inches from acting like a grump, especially if he hasn't been sleeping, but he has yet to completely lose his playfulness. If there's one thing he can be 100% certain of, it's his sense of humour. Admittedly not everyone will appreciate his frivolity. A light-hearted tone is never welcomed in times of mourning. Hisashi knows this from personal experience.

To summarise, Hisashi is greatly controlled by greed but wants to be a better person. He is knowledgeable but susceptible to temptation. He is curious, willing to accept all forms of opinions to paint a clearer picture. He is honourable but doesn't strive to do good. He is helpful so long as he benefits from it. Laughter is the best medicine in his opinion. Hisashi and confidence go hand in hand. It's very uncommon to see him in a flustered or confused state.

History spoke of bird demons that were powerful fighters. Back then, Tengus were warriors with an honourable task of vanquishing evil. Had more of HIsashi's ancestors survived corruption, they would have been outraged at the fall from grace the species had taken. They were now considered equivalent to the evil that had rampaged the world centuries ago. Their presence elicited distrust and fear from humans. In order to avoid the newly kindled hostility, Some Tengus sought refuge on high terrain, making a home in mountains. Others lived a life of constant migration. Another portion fought back, refusing a life of estrangement. They fought fire with fire, matching the aggression that was shown towards Yokai.

The path of mayhem Hisashi walked did not match his childhood.
If Hisashi was asked to share his earliest memory it would go something like this: There was a valley in the midst of a mountain range. Like an oasis in a desert, teeming with greenery. Sheltered by the mountains from the harsh wind, flowers bloomed and small copses unfurled from the ground, forming a forest. A river sliced through the woodland, shallow and swift. Mainly Yokai with an affinity to nature lived or raised their young there. His family chose this place for the latter reason. When Hisashi had grown too large to cradle in a sling during flight, they settled in the valley, awaiting the day HIsashi was able to fly alongside them.

Hisashi's family consisted of three other people. Alongside lessons in flight, the trio worked together to educate him of the world, each having their own unique advice to deliver. Although years had passed since he last saw them, he could still recollect aspects of them.
One of them had Flaxen tinted feathers that glinted brightly when under the sun. She owned a sharp-tongue, a loud voice, and a riddle of scars across her skin. Rage simmered in her eyes but it was never directed at her family. The second was A cluster of brown feathers, wings reaching out to gently smack him upside the head in a playful jest. Despite his light-hearted nature, He was the most sincere of the trio. He was also the least high-strung; one of the lucky few who was able to move forward from the horrific memories of their plights. He was the rope that stopped the other two from falling into paranoia, comforting them when one or both of the two awoke from a trauma-induced nightmare. The third person was a tangle of nerves. their black feathers constantly ruffled, bushy eyebrows furrowed fretfully. They were prone to stress. The other two were unable ease their worry, and could only offer hugs and assurances whenever they broke into tears, insistent that something was watching them, waiting to ambush them. Hisashi's family harboured a troubled history.

When his family was certain he had a good grasp of flight, they returned to their original goal. Before Hisashi was born, they had been hunting for things. Treasure, relics, old books and scripts, long forgotten buildings and places. Anything that grabbed their interest really. They took what they wanted. With no divine order placed upon them by gods they sought to pursue knowledge. It was only natural that Hisashi grew a fondness of gathering intellect. The search was fun, and research undertaken to understand their findings was even more invigorating. Most items they sought were owned by humans. As such many of their missions involved ambushing people. They pillaged small settlements, leaving ghosttowns in their wake. His family strongly resented humans, and this hatred was also kindled within Hisashi.

A century later, when they heard news of a battle going on against yokai and humans in a nearby town, they jumped into the fray, nobly standing up for their kind. This was the first time Hisashi witnessed the tension between humans and demons. The events that took place was horrifying. It shattered him.

He met Iya in a less than favourable situation. It was peculiar how he still remembered Their name whilst he couldn't recollect his family members'. When the war was taking a turn for a worse, he was ordered to stay away. He hid in the forest, recuperating from his wounds. His family told him to avoid humans. They never said he also had to be wary of other demons. What took place was something that left his wings crippled and bleeding. Clumps of feathers torn off. Bruises and cuts laced his skin but his wings were the main source of his agony. The one that did this to him was haunted by a grotesque past. A Tengu had hurt the demon long ago, sparking a fury that escalated to the point of it assaulting Hisashi on sight. He was mauled simply for his nature. But Hisashi would never discover this. He would only know that a demon attacked him, and a human had come to his aid. He learnt a valuable lesson from this; good and bad was not easily distinguished. Not all Yokai looked out for one another and not all humans were hell-bent on getting rid of them.

It was perhaps the combination of being attacked by another Yokai and the war waging in town he had taken part in that resulted in his lightning magic to develop to into what it was. Not even Iya was safe from getting a dose of static-shock whenever they checked the Tengu's wounds. He learnt many things about Iya, the most surprising being that they were a mercenary. One would assume that someone with a nurturing heart would have a more acceptable career. Having grown fond of them, he decided to stick with Iya. When his family found him and heard of his decision, they begged him to change his mind, insisting that the human couldn't be trusted. They had even attempted to get rid of Iya themself, which only infuriated Hisashi. His family quickly departed, bitterly returning to a life of raiding. For that was the true nature of their work. Their goal might have been to gather knowledge but the aftermath of their search was one of destruction.

As for the fate of him and Iya, the duo plunged into the underworld society. Having earned Hisashi's friendship, Iya was confident that no harm would come to them. Which they were right. No matter how risky the job, Hisashi would be watching from the skies, ready to dive in and help if needed. The art of thievery was easy under the cover of a stormy night- Curtsey of Hisashi. It was odd, despite Iya's dabbling in illegal activities, they taught Hisashi a lot about morality. Such as only stealing from the rich, and that killing people that had done bad things was completely fine. After Iya retired from that type of life in order to pursue something more domestic, Hisashi continued to work under the cover of Iya's identity. He learnt what he could from the blackmarket trade, evening joining in on a few missions that involved stealing from the rich, and amassed numerous contacts. Through this he had a constant source of information. THe wealth he gained was an added bonus. He enjoyed collecting gemstones and jewellery. Ever the faithful friend, Hisashi stayed by Iya's side. His loyalty extended towards Iya's partner and child. Then to Iya's descendants. He protected them and ensured they lived a life of comfort. Iya wasn't the spitting image of righteousness. By siding with them over his family, Hisashi hadn't traded one lifestyle for something better. Perhaps at the start it seemed like it but he knew it wasn't so. Nonetheless, the decision was a catalyst for making Hisashi question himself and those around him. [/fancypost][/fancypost][/fancypost]
