Kasumi Jushi.

[goneandforgotten]

I did this on my iPod and some things are spelt the English way as I'm from Ireland.

Name (First/last):
 Kasumi Jushi.


Nickname:
 Tākoizu or toury because of her hair colour.


Age: 
 Seventeen

Gender: 
Female


Species:

Human/Guardian race- the guardian race are like humans who posses one unique ability that gives them an advantage. 


Position: 
Neutral. She's just an explorer.


Powers/Abilities/Techniques/Skills: 

Like all from her race, they all have a unique area they specialise in, Kasumi's is mimicking weapons. 

She can create the weapon she pleases by viewing it and familiarising herself with the look of it and then she meditates to summon up a replica. It takes months for her to summon new weapons to perfection. This is a list she can summon for now. She can only summon one of these fakes at a time. But she carries a dagger that is proof that she completed her training of beginning a warrior.

Sword (Found in a museum in her home world)
Bows and arrow. (Her mothers weapon/ ice element)
Whip (Aki- her teacher)

 

Her skill level of the weapons she knows are average as she knows basic techniques. Her stamina is higher than a humans. She Knows no magic skills but is capable to learn. She just has never had the time to as she was always too busy learning to fight.

Her favourite fighting technique is freestyle, such as running up Walls and doing backflips while trying to slash the enemy (post cooling three posts). However; it takes a lot of energy to do that for half an hour so she'd only do that during short battles.



Limitations and Drawbacks

It takes a long time to learn and "create" a new weapon (thirty to seventy posts) and it takes a lot of time and energy to do so. Even then she will need to spend longer on learning to fight to an average skill (an extra thirty posts). In addition; the weapon is weaker than the real one and doesn't have the abilities the real one has until she is old enough to use her powers (eg. She finds out how to recreate a keyblade but her weapon would not be able to open/lock things. It would just be an oversized key).

Also as she is not fully mature she sometimes loses control of summoning the weapon she wants, this happens when she is panicking or tired, hungry or even in anger.

Changing the weapon will leave her venerable (for one post), even the most simple attacks and as she is not use to magic, she finds it very hard to dodge from it. 

Although she has high stamina she takes longer than a human to regain her energy (two posts) sometimes even collapsing during battle. This is due to her skills developing further. (They would be fully matured by nineteen).



Weapons/Items:

The sword has a silver hilt with a red swirl at the bottom, the blade is like a bread knife and is thiner at the top. The sword is a replica of the pretty sword in the museum.

The bow is blue and ice like. The arrows look like icicles as she learnt it from an ice arrow. Although her arrows only like ice, they just do regular damage as they are not ice arrows.

Her whip is what her trainer taught her to use, it is black with the chain holding the icons on a pack of playing cards, it is eighty-two cm In length.


The dagger she carries around is twenty-eight cm from tip of blade to hilt. It's completely black. This was the award all soldiers get for completing their training, she nicknamed it "Pop". Why "Pop"? Just because.




Appearance: 

Her hair is turquoise and when down falls to her mid back in loose curls, her fringe is a sweeping fringe that goes to the left side of her face but usually falls to cover her face. She always wears an orchid coloured ribbon, usually found as as a hairband or to put her hair up into a side pony tail that goes to the left.

Her eyes are orchid in colour and are famine with rounded upper eyelids and lower ones, her eyelashes are average length and black. Her nose is petite and her lips are of a pinkish-rose colour and are full. Her face is defined by her glamourous cheekbone structure and her  chin falls into a curve. 

Her body figure is curvy with her tight waist being the most noticeable figure. Her height is average for a sixteen year old (around 5"7). She is forty-seven kg

Her main outfit is a black shirt that she leaves the collar up on, a long turquoise jacket (Looks like a trench coat), the coat is three inches above the knee and is never buttoned up. 

She has a pair of shorts that have three orchid coloured strips that hang loose (two at the front, one at the back) with buttons at the end. Her ankle boots are black and a little dirty.

Her outfit can change slightly by her jacket ending at the waist and an attachment to the shorts that add on a trousers part that the buttons hold in place leaving two inches  of flesh still seen between the orchid straps.

Her dagger is always found on the left side of her. As she is left handed. When her hair is not held in place by the ribbon, it will be tied to the dagger.

She has no piercings but has a scar of a slash down her lower right arm and ends between her thumb and the pointing finger. She has a tattoo on her upper left arm marking her as a guardian race. It is an orchid coloured single flame.



Personality:

Kasumi's motivation is to see all the worlds the sky has to offer; as travelling the world was one of her largest dreams ever since she was a little girl reading about all the unique worlds and cultures they hold. As she read so many books about the worlds around her, she is knowledgeable about them sometimes exceeds the knowledge of the locals, however; some of the books she read from are very outdated and therefore she tends to ask the locals about recent activities of the world.


Her fear is to lose her home for good, just knowing that the world is safe from harm is good enough for her. She is also afraid that her work as a warrior or explorer will never be recognised in addition to losing her friends and family. Her weakness is her poor judgement in directions/strategy as this tends to leave her lost. 

Her interests is reading books about other worlds, training for battles, free running races, cooking and being with friends. In her free time she would record her research in a book and events she wants to remember forever. She refuses to sleep when other people are about cause she snorts and talks in her sleep, mostly about pointless dreaming things.

In general she strives to achieve what she wants in life and is curious about the worlds around her. She is kind hearted, sweet, hates to upset people, competitive to a healthy degree,  loves to ask questions and although does get bored of some things is willing to try out new things (as long as it intrigues her). She would love to be the one who takes control due to her families authority and her own official title but she wouldn't get upset if someone else takes control of the situation. She has a lot of pride of who she is and what she stands for. She is obedient, easy to get along with and not the kind to start fights off, she does like a good deep chat every once in a while. 

In a group she would be the defender as she cares about her friends and wouldn't want to see them get hurt. She would only fight as a last resort as she doesn't want to feel like she could ruin someones life through fighting. Although as she became an official warrior, you can already tell that she is a rather good fighter.

In difficult situations she would continue to fight as it was what she was taught to do. She also refuses to kill people as it will not show justice as it is part of her culture not to do this. She often thinks of strategies during obstacles  instead of before hand. If she flees a battle she gets upset with herself then tries to act upbeat.

Current world: Radiant Gardens 

Original World: 

She was born on "Sanctuary of Age" this is the world of the Guardian race. This civilisation chooses everyones fate from their ability. It is Victorian based architecture with futuristic technology.
The culture has been the same for 800 years. They use to be warriors that would help in other worlds wars, any war that happened, but they would never kill anyone. As it wasn't justified. When the worlds lost contact conflict broke out everywhere in the world itself, split into two clans, Philic and trumber clan. Kasumi is from the Philic tribe. As the conflict broke out the military unit was introduced.  

History:

She was born to the leader of the Philic clan, along with her brother, who was 2 years younger than herself. She lived a normal childhood listening to stories of how the warriors go to fight and always come back glorious. The majority of her childhood consists of reading books of other worlds and pestering her mother to tell her more about the worlds (As her mother was a solider).

When she became seven her abilities started to show, at first she recreated an old toy she owned. She firstly showed her brother, who of course, being him didn't really care much about it, so she ended up showing her parents instead who instantly knew that was her gift, although; they wanted to see what else she could recreate. They asked what she wants to learn and she asked to learn to replicate her mothers weapon, a little surprised they asked why. Kasumi's reply, "If I want to travel, I must know how to fight to protect my new friends." as they didn't want to upset her they followed with the procedure.

By the time she was eight she perfected the ability to copy her mothers weapon, with this achievement she wanted to expand this gift further. So she continued to recreate the bows and arrows until she felt it was too easy and then she needed something new to focus her mind on. One time when visiting the local museum she seen a pretty sword and that's when she decided that she wanted to learn how to create that sword. Therefore she went there everyday in hopes to learn it, however, after visiting the place 100 times she eventually learnt the weapon.

Once learning two weapons she felt content with those and went back to searching for books about the worlds around her. But every so often she would practice with the weapons to keep her skills to a level she felt comfortable with.  Her mother; on the other hand seen potential in her daughter to become a warrior and protect her clan.

For Kasumi's tenth birthday she hired a personal tutor in training her to become a warrior. Kasumi was reluctant to begin with as she only wanted it to protect others and not to rampage and destroy lives of others. However she felt it was rude if she declined so went to them. In these lessons she was taught by a woman twelve years older than her, a woman called Aki, she was sweet and gentle to Kasumi and never forced her to do things she didn't want. During one of the lessons Aki decided to give her a break of learning her weapon, (the whip) as Kusami looked fed up with it so instead showed her a fighting technique that she called "freestyle", based upon freestyle running. Kasumi's interest grew upon this subject and for a year she had extra hours learning this untraditional form of fighting as well as continuing with the compulsory fields.  

When not training or reading or cooking for the family, she would be challenging her brother in a game of free running for many reasons, one; that her brother was one of the few people she could talk to and two; it was good practice of agility and strategy of what paths to take. She was the fastest however; sometimes her instant choice of direction was wrong and made her lose the race. She had a healthy and happy relationship with everyone she knew, including her father who she didn't talk too much but when she did it began a huge deep and inquisitive conversation. 

When she reached the age of fifteen she was put in a test to become an official warrior and modulating was  the "Warrior Examination Board", where she passed ( with an average score) and was now officially known as a warrior. Her family and Aki had a small ceremony in Kasumi's home to celebrate the passing of the examine where she got a couple of gifts, a dagger; the common token showing your title of warrior in the clan. Also on that day she received an orchid ribbon from her brother, the orchid ribbon she always has on her. When this was given to her he said that it so she can always look back on the day and be grateful for all around her. 

On her brothers fifteenth birthday, he woke Kasumi from her slumber. She woke up in a terrible mood but as soon as she heard what he had to say she was speechless, his unique power was one that Kasumi could only dream of having. He had the power to make connections to other worlds, she knew what this meant and why he told her. She asked him if he could send her to another world and he nodded, so she chose to go the day after his birthday, as it was his special day. And to get a chance of telling her parents and Aki. 

The following day she grabbed everything she felt she would need for exploring and said goodbye to her family and friends promising to come back to them someday. Her brother asked where she wanted to go she flicked trough some pages of a now worn book called "The universe- encyclopaedia" and stopped at a place called "Radiant Gardens", he hesitated and confessed to her that he has only tried this connection once with a cup and doesn't know if people are able to pass through, Kasumi didn't care as she trusted that her brother could do this.

There was a flash of light and there she was,new settings, new sounds, new people, everything was so fresh upon this new land she in. The rest of her story is writing details of this world, asking locals of recent events and doing recon and logging every finding her book.  


Role Playing Sample: 

(OOC: Might not be what you are looking for)


"I guess... This is my life over..." Kasumi sighed as she lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, her face was calm, "I have no regrets for what I have done" she muttered as she closed her eyes for the final rest before the sun fell too low. A crush of rubble feel from above her making Kasumi jump and shoot out of bed, she inspected this hole for a short time and then Akis head showed up. Kasumi tried to hold in the relief of a rescue but couldn't achieve her goal. "You snore you know." Aki giggled while reeling down her whip, Kasumi began to blush of embarrassment, "Sh- shut up." she grabbed hold of it and was hoisted upwards onto the roof of the building. The skies orange tint reflected upon the surface of the water, as the lights on the cobbled streets began to burn like unreachable fireflies, Kasumi's eyes shone upon the beauty that she knew will never be seen by her again. "Come on, we don't have long until the guards wake up." Aki grabbed Kasumi and dragged her along. 

They both made their way to the edge of the building, the fall to the bottom was low but littered with trash from the idiotic youths partying there last night. The ledge was giving way as small lose tiles fell and smashed Kasumi looked under her then in front, she pushed Aki off her and sprinted outwards, towards the open window she arrested out her arms and leaped off the edge of the prison, her tips stretching for the open window skimmed the pain and fingertips hit the ledge with the force breaking her little finger. Her her teeth grinned together with the pain but she grabbed onto it with both of her hands and used her upper body strength to pull herself up. Aki shook her head at her friends lack of analysing and went down the fire escape.  

"Hey! Toury! You don't even know where your heading!" Aki cried as she looked upon the open window Kasumi climbed in from, "Hey- Kasu-" Kasumi bursted through the door just underneath the window, "Stop yelling. I'm right here." Kasumi calmly brushed herself down of the dust and ash she collected before continuing "I have it all planned out. I will dig a hole, about six foot deep. How about that?" She smirked at her comment and looked round to see Aki puppy face. "But I saved you." her voice quivered of hopelessness, "It was a joke Aki, you know; ha ha sort of th- forget it." She give a cheesy grin towards her fellow companion who was wiping away the lose tears falling down her cheek. "I dont know, I need to get away from here. Where I can blend but be seen."
"You need a gummi ship?" Aki asked walking towards Kasumi with her hands behind her back.   
"You mean... We still have one?" 
"Well i don't mean to brag but I am a fast learner, I built it myself out of bits and pieces I've found from old instruction manuals left in the attic of the military base." 
"What are the chances of it working?" 
"I don't know... It will either work a treat or blow your face off." Kasumi placed crossed her arms while balancing the equation left. She looked up to Aki and nodded, "I'll take my chances."




Dream.

She felt a cold breeze upon her cheeks, cold, yet warm. She stood upon an edge of an oversized blade looking into the sky with a wanting heart, looking particularly at one spot of the sky, the deeper she looked the closer the image became, at first darkness, a star, disfigured planet, Radiant Gardens. Kasumi reached out for it spreading her hands out as if she wanted to pick it up. Before she could touch it the bladed floor started to disintegrate into pages on either end, Kasumi looked in both directions, both leading to nothingness , she stood there holding her breath waiting for her to fall and become like the darkness. Feet started losing grip and she began to fall into the deep sky.

She just continued to fall with the stars escaping the areas. Kasumi shook her her head in midair in determination not to fall without a fight, summoned her bow and arrow shot towards a star. The star expanded into a deep light and swiftly engulfed Kasumi in to a bright light she closed her eyes to protect them from the intense light that surrounded her until the light faded.

The light quickly did fade, Kasumi slowly opened her eyes, a little afraid of what else my appear in this dream. She felt something take her hand, she looked up to notice it was her brother, smiling at her, deeper this background was her mother and father in this White room. Relieved to be with people she knew, ran towards then with backflips in between before embracing her mother for a hug. Suddenly the all faded and the White room shattered into tiny orchid flowers, and there she was, a place she had never been. But looked somewhat familiar. Tiny particles of light fell from the sky and magnificent fountains, a castle that haunts the mind. This in Kasumi's mind was the way she pictured Radiant gardens to look. Her eyes showed her dreams and her dreams formed in her eyes, this is the world she wants to see, one world she wants to see, she knew instantly that Radiant Gardens was more beautiful than what the books described it as. 

"Toury" she heard the voice of her brother and the world began to shake, everything crumbled and fell as she woke up in her own world. "Toury, guess what?" he looked proud, a little to proud that those who didn't know him would call it cocky. "What?" she asked a little moody and upset that it was a dream she had. He smiled, "I think I know my power." 

And the rest was history.

NOTE: Due to the change of history I wasn't sure if I had to make a new role-play sample. I made one just in case.

Lovely effort. Apologies for the huge delay in looking her over.

Biggest problem is with the History. First and foremost, Kasumi’s method of leaving her world needs to be altered. If you read the character sheet and/or rules closely enough, you’d spot the semi-‘ban’ on gummi ships in character history. Explanation for this is given there.

There are various other means of exit:

Members have an imaginative license for that part. Most common way is to have the world taken over by darkness. Others have been transported by creative oddities, such as falling off a tower, sleeping in a cathedral, or flying an airship through a rip in the sky.

Also, her History and Personality sections don’t align very well. You have her depicted as a very violent young girl in the History. For a child to kill at the age of eight, her home life must have been very negative, enough to lower the value of human life. In general I’d suggest going through and establishing congruity, making sure you’re depicting the character you want to depict, and have her History make sense with how she currently acts and thinks.

We'll start there. 5 days to edit, if you have any questions, please let me know. ;]
