Character Name: Phoenixflame (but she also goes by "Mokou")
Character Age: ageless/immortal (body of a young warrior but actually probably hundreds of years old)
Gender: female
Alliance: The Skulls
Rank: Sailor (normal rank)
Appearance (6 or more sentences): White-furred, almost silver wolf with reddish, maroon eyes. On her tail are tied numerous red and white paper charms, as if to protect her from being burned by fire. She also wears these charms on her head, taking on the appearance of a large bow behind her ears. Besides this, she's mostly plain-looking, and she almost always seems to have a disgruntled look on her face. In terms of size, she seems to have an average build-- although she may be slightly taller than usual --and despite her size, she also seems to be slightly scrawny. In general, she seems pretty scary and unapproachable, and her eyes seem to imitate fire, almost always burning with some sort of emotion (hatred is not unusual). Even though she has a thick coat (both literally and figuratively), if you can look past how unapproachable she is and approach her anyway, she can prove she has a heart of gold inside-- despite looking like a delinquent or troublemaker.
Personality (6 or more sentences--these sentences form their own section and do NOT count towards the 4 groups below; those are additional requirements): A loner by nature, she's a prime example of what you would call a "lone wolf." Despite this, she can also get pretty lonely easily, and since she can never die, she often tries to find ways to kill time and make life less unbearable. She's afraid of getting too close to others because she knows they'll just die anyway (and die before her since she doesn't have the ability to die), but despite this, maybe she's a little bit of a masochist, seeking out the company of others anyway? She's usually successful at avoiding others, but joining a clan was just an example of her cracking-- she couldn't take it any more, and nothing could be worse than being alone and staying in isolation forever (it just made it more obvious how different she was from others-- how dangerous --and being alone was also harmful because it left her to her own, cruel thoughts). Despite her scary aura and appearance, she's actually really nice inside, helping others without a word and not expecting anything in return. In that sense, I guess you could call her a little bit selfless (even though she helps others because she wants them to like her). Socially awkward and pretty antisocial, she still makes attempts to befriend others, and she's slightly sensitive in that she doesn't like being hated. To those she's acquainted with, she speaks bluntly and with a lively personality. She's pretty secretive (especially about her past) and reticent in regards to herself, and when asked about her past, she tends to avoid the question and answer very vaguely. However, she seems to happily listen to others' talking. Speaking in a belligerent tone, she acts pretty tomboyish for a girl. Her personality can be compared to a flame: she's very passionate and full of energy, and when angered, she can be scathingly hot and burn everything down. When that happens, she's dangerous. On the other hand, flames can provide a source of heat and warmth, and despite a bad exterior-slash-personality, she can be really kind and even motherly. She likes to keep details about herself a mystery, instead acting like a silent, valiant warrior who saves the day, melting into the background again and leaving once her deed has been done. In general, she looks like she has gone through and seen a lot (thus she almost seems pessimistic and perpetually grumpy), but she can be made happy by the smallest things, and she tries not to carry her negative aura/emotions to other people. On her own, though, she usually looks tired, staying in a brooding state and staying awake for hours even if it's really late. In summary, Mokou may look like a bad guy, but she's a good, gentle girl at heart. At the same time, a lot of things about her remain a mystery, and she prefers to keep it that way.
---Likes (at least 3): fried chicken, helping others, being liked
--- Dislikes (at least 3): being hated, all of her enemies (and her friends' enemies), being alone
---Strengths (No MORE than 5): very strong, can manipulate fire, is very resilient in that she can never (truly) die, therefore she can sustain a lot of pain and keep fighting until she literally drops, is empowered by her emotions (when she's really angry and when she's fighting for the sake of someone else is when she's strongest)
---Weaknesses (At least 3): is literally hotheaded and can lose her head/cool, is kind of reckless since she can never die, is slightly really gullible and a little too trusting (once you gain her trust and get past her initial mistrust, "proving" you're not hostile), underestimates her opponents and relies too much on her own strength, thinks the answer to a lot of things is violence, acts on her own a lot (thinking she can handle it), getting her too angry might actually make her an easier target for attack and therefore less concentrated (at the same time, she's really dangerous in this state despite losing accuracy and logic)
History (8 or more sentences): She drank something a long time ago that made her immortal, and she has tried numerous times since then to end her life after she realized the horrible effects. She failed, of course, because she's still alive today, and today, she's still not completely sure how to feel about her immortality (most of the time, she thinks it's a curse). She doesn't like to talk about it much (her past), so she doesn't. She may also have a grudge against someone, and since she's lived for a long time, she's bound to have had many experiences. By now, almost nothing fazes her, and she has too many emotions and memories bottled up inside to count. While she can't "die," someone can still defeat her in battle by knocking her out. They should think before they challenge Mokou, though, because she doesn't give up, and she'll just keep coming back (reviving) and trying again. If there's one thing she doesn't like, it's losing, so she'll just keep trying until you give up or she wins. Getting her to forgive you after wronging her is also not that easy, as she's easily angered and holds a lot of anger inside. She probably has a lot of enemies too (she's picked fights with others before, and she likes fighting), so she wouldn't hesitate to add you to her list if you really deserved it. She's not completely pure, and she's had her fair share of scuffles and fights. Because she's so stubborn, when she's set on something, persuading her out of it is not a viable (or smart) option. She does a lot of things out of pure emotion (without thinking about them), and she is quick to react to a supposed attack (she doesn't really think when she does things, so she's impulsive in that manner). When she's wrong or mistaken, she feels guilty and tries to apologize, and she really is sorry about it. In retrospect, she regrets a lot of the things she's done (most of them, she did in the aforementioned manner-- reacting to her strong emotions (especially hatred)), so she's trying to make up for any past wrongs she's had. In an effort to pay off her debt of sins, she always tries to do whatever she can to help others, and she joined a clan to be a support. (But she would be lying if she said she hadn't joined a clan because she was lonely and she was curious.) Because she doesn't age, she knows others would find it unusual when they got older but she did not. Therefore, she used to move around a lot in order to avoid being detected, but now she's through with hiding herself from others. Even though she does not bring up her immortality, if asked about it, she would admit to it and say nothing more. In short, Mokou is done running away from her past, and she wants to confront all of the things she's done and make things right. She doesn't want to restrain herself any more, and joining a clan like this would be a fresh new start-- especially because no one would know her.
Roleplay Sample {Required for first advanced bio}: She had been lingering outside of their territory for a while, pacing back and forth nervously. It was a wonder no one had noticed her so far (or maybe they had, and they were simply choosing to ignore her) and found her creepy, but she was glad that she hadn't been confronted just yet.
It had been a while since she had interacted with another living soul-- too long, actually.
She had forgotten how they were actually like, and that was what was making her nervous.
To be honest, she had finally decided to break out of her shell. She had heard about clans, groups, before, and she would have been lying if she had said she hadn't been interested.
A self-sustaining group, comprised of various creatures that all got along well despite differences and helped each other...
If she hadn't known any better, that would've sounded like a family to her, and...
Her eyes glazed over a bit, and her mood seemed to dampen a little.
How long had it been since she had had a family? Since she had even heard that word or felt it?
Shaking her head, the white wolf resumed her pacing, once again entrapped in her thoughts. Like magic, her sadness melted away and her previous worries came back.
What if I mess this up? What if they turn me down?
She had heard about an auto-acceptance policy before, but did she really believe it? Did she really believe that those groups-- those families --accepted just anyone?
It sounded too good to be true, and Mokou knew she couldn't count on it.
With so many mouths to feed, they had to be exclusive to some extent, right?
Which brought her back, again, to her doubts. After such a long time, she had finally decided to go back to living normally (could she ever live normally, though?), and with such an important decision-- one that would have such an impact on her life...
She'd be damned if she messed up now!
Would fate really be cruel enough to do that to her? But when she thought about all of the other things she had experienced-- the fact that she was even alive today now --it didn't sound that far-fetched.
Arrgh, damnit! She roughly shook her head, digging her claws into the earth. I can't back out now! I've-I've decided on this! It'll be good for me! Besides, there are more benefits than drawbacks! I'll be okay!
After living a solitary life for so long, she couldn't take it any more. Today was the day she would end that chapter of her life and begin a new age! Or something.
She had finally decided to do something about her miserable existence; the least the world could do was humor her, right?
Comments (optional): Based off of Fujiwara no Mokou from Touhou Project (obviously). Since I wanted to help out The Skulls and I was deciding between bringing back Remi or not, I decided to go with the flow and create someone to adapt to the new theme-- pirates! I looked through all of the Touhou characters and thought I'd done pretty much all of them (I just really like roleplaying them xD), but then I realized something! I hadn't done Mokou yet, and Phoenixflame was born! I think back then, I didn't because you still had to purchase elemental powers, and if I'm not mistaken, you can use any power you want now. Therefore, with this freedom and this information, I'll have fun with this poor, jaded but sweethearted Mokou! These types of characters are fun too, and I'm really in the Touhou mood; my cursor's even Mokou now!
