Name ►: Emiko Nishimura Sword Smith Name: Kyo Nishimura
Age ►: 26

Canon or OC ►: Original Character
Sexual Orientation ►: Heterosexual
Race ►: Human
Group ►: Godless
Face Claim ►: Sode no Shirayuki - Bleach
Appearance ►:
General Personality ►:
At a first glance Emiko may come off as cold and uncaring. However that is a front, a shield that she's learned to put up. Usually she wears a poker face and this can often make her seem like an extremely hardened woman. Her temper doesn't help that, if anything it makes her seem like she has a very short fuse. Though this can generally only be triggered by either hurting her, attempting to make fun of her or sticking your nose in to her business when it doesn't really concern you at all.
However. Beneath the shell she has Emiko is a gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individual. She tends to know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. She's usually right, and she usually knows it. Consequently, she does put a tremendous amount of faith into her instincts and intuitions. She can be protective of her inner self, sharing only what she chooses to share when she chooses to share it. She's a deep, complex individual, who can be quite private and typically difficult to understand. She will generally hold back part of herself only showing it to those she feels close too, and can be secretive.
She's genuinely warm as she is complex. She tends to hold a special place in the heart of people who she's close to, who are able to see her special gifts and depth of caring. She may not seem like it most of the time but she is concerned for people's feelings, and she does try to be as gentle as she can to avoid hurting anyone, unless of course they seem to be a complete asshat. In which case she really won't hold back as far as words are concerned, violence however is rarely shown and even when she does reach that point she won't ever shed another persons blood unless they shed her blood first. This attitude can however get her in to quite a bit of trouble as she doesn't like to pick sides and she's rather sensitive to conflict, this sensitivity to conflict is the main reason why her hair is white she cannot tolerate it very well, this can lead to her becoming sick when under a lot of stress since she tends to internalize the stress. It finds outlets eventually one was to make her hair white and the other is where she becomes so sick that she's bed ridden for a few days.
She knows this fault, she tries her best to avoid internalizing stress instead opting to try and allow it to run its course, though she does fail at this quite regularly.

Weaknesses ►:
Magic Attacks
She knows no magic attacks. Yet.
Magic defense
Due to not knowing anything in the way of magic she has very little defense against it. +50% damage taken from all elemental attacks.
Status effects
She can resist status effects to an extent. 50% chance of status effects hitting her.
Death
She can die. She's only human.
Her heart
Her heart and soul are two things she cares about a lot, sometimes she might break down and lose her concentration if an ally/friend/someone she cares for is attacked. This is however a double edged blade since attacking her friends and those she cares for will cause her to go berserk and she will stop at NOTHING to KILL you.
Seeing Red - Stress
If her stress levels reach 100% in battle, she'll gain a short burst of strength DOUBLING her initial strength and all her attacks will deal double, her speed also increases and makes her attacks basically UNDODGABLE but only for a single turn. After this turn? She shutsdown and is knocked unconscious. Also cancels out her usual strength.
Physical defense
She needs to train her body to endure more. She can be cut, she can bleed and it causes her a lot of pain, especially when old scars are reopened. Scars on her back will cause her excruciating pain and slow her movements down.
Abilities ►:
Strength
A passive ability, she's stronger than she looks and also stronger than the average person. Her strength is +25% to all her physical attacks.
Sleep Powder
Emiko tosses a powder in the enemies direction upon contact it puts them to sleep, however this can backfire if a wind attack is used to blast the powder back at her! The effects are temporary lasting only one turn.
Poison Blade
A quick slash with her dagger this poison however simply knocks out the person or makes them drowsy (Rpers consent needed) allowing Emiko to flee.
Herb Mixing
Using various ingredients Emiko can make certain things. She usually carries a large leather pouch with her that carries many already prepared herbs. They can do the following.
- Healing, takes away pain and increases the healing rate of minor wounds (Like regen.).
- Confusion, when smeared on an enemy this can actually confuse them, the substance is soaked in to the skin and for a turn of battle it can briefly confuse an enemy making their vision blurry and making them dizzy.
- Smelling Herbs, wakes a person up from K.O. Status.
- Burning, causes mild pain like the enemies skin is ablaze.
- Blind, by blowing herbs in an enemies direction/face she can temporarily blind an enemy making their attacks 50% less likely to hit.
Execution
Emiko launches herself into the air and aims her sword to her left. She then uses the momentum to spin as she descends slashing at her enemy repeatedly. It can be dodged, if dodged Emiko will not be dizzy. If the attack is taken? Emiko will take a small amount of recoil damage and also be rather dizzy. Medium level damage.
Steeled Soul
Upon seeing her own blood this ability is activated. Her eyes go cold, her soul seems non-existent and she becomes little more than a strategic killer. Aiming strikes rapidly at the limbs of her enemies aiming to incapacitate them by removing the limbs completely. However this increases her stress levels and she WILL suffer for it after the battle is over, usually collapsing and falling unconscious for a day. +25% str when active.
Seeing Red - Stress
If her stress levels reach 100% in battle, she'll gain a short burst of strength DOUBLING her initial strength and all her attacks will deal double, her speed also increases and makes her attacks basically UNDODGABLE but only for a single turn. After this turn? She shutsdown and is knocked unconscious. Also cancels out her usual strength.
Swords Smith
She can repair and forge blades, she's always wanting to try new things given she's so used to working with katana styled blades, she also likes mixing new metals to create new styles of blade. She hand crafts everything, the blade, the guard, the grip and the sheath. She even makes the designs with the material and she hand paints any designs that she puts on the sheath.
Weapons ►:
Also has a small white dagger on her person, the blade is coated in a fast acting poison, this poison however simply knocks out the person or makes them drowsy (Rpers consent needed) allowing Emiko to flee.
Items ►:
Auto-Life - Must be used to gain the effects. Upon death the person with auto-life is revived from death with 25% of their maximum hp. Can only be used once. OTM April 2013
History ►:
There once was a small child by the name of Emiko, she wasn't an only child, she had a younger brother, both children lived happily with their parents. Everything seemed just fine, till there was a raid on the village in which she lived. Everyone including the baby boy she called her little brother were murdered. Her mother hid her in a small cupboard handing her a charm and a small yet expensive painting, out of harms way and out of sight before she went to get the baby only to be cut down. Scared blue eyes watched through the crack of the cupboard as both her mother and father were cut down blood painting the walls of their home. She didn't make a sound. Knowing to be quiet or suffer the same fate. The crying of a small baby soon ceased. Death had found its way to her brother it seemed.
Eventually the raiders left, setting the village ablaze.
After a short time the smell of smoke lingered in the air, the little girl was too afraid to move, her legs wouldn't do as she told them too and the flames licked the houses. Eventually she managed to move. To run, stopping at the bodies of her parents before she took to climbing over and under the falling debris in her house and escaping out in to the wilderness.
A small five year old. Alone.
She can't remember how long she wandered on her own out there but she was filthy, covered in soot and her clothes charred at the very edges. She did however manage to keep the picture and the charm clean and unmarred. The last things... To remember her parents by.
She was eventually found, by none other than slave traders and since she was alone and she looked worse for ware they snatched her up knowing they could make some money from her. They also took the painting and charm from her and they laughed as she screamed and tried to take the items back. It was all that was left of her family. In the end it reduced her to tears.
Knowing they could make a fair amount from the picture they took from her and not really knowing the charm other than it being a piece of junk they attempted to toss it away. She took that charm back the second they looked away and she hid it in her clothes, she eventually took to wearing it in her hair as an ornament.
During the travel that she was put through she did notice another child often referred to as Shinta, though she never actually spoke to him she did smile once or twice and other than that she never spoke to anyone. Some of the women however treated her like their own, trying to protect her. Eventually she told them her name. Emiko.
Then it came, yet again, another raid only this time the slavers were attacked and most of the to be slaves were also murdered ruthlessly. Again she was hidden, tossed out of harms reach. A hand going out to grab the other child but she missed and she couldn't drag him with her, instead she was screamed at to run.
She gave in. She fled. Like a wild animal.
She didn't stop running till the soles of her feet were bloody and sore, they could no longer carry her any further and she collapsed. Sleeping out in the open.
From that day on, Emiko wouldn't ever forget those two nights. Not. Ever. They would always haunt her. How she was helpless to do anything, how she abandoned those who tried to help her. How she left everyone... To die.
Walking for days she suffered from hunger and thirst till once more she was snatched up by another band of slavers. This would be the second time. They dragged her around from place to place and eventually due to her constant nightmares they threatened to kill her because she was useless and slowing them down. As they made their way through a town, they ditched her, leaving her in the gutters on her own and threatening to kill her if she followed them.
Once again... She was alone...
She spent a good year living in the street, in the gutters, thieving from houses to survive. When she reached the age of six she was caught by a man in his late forties, as she tried to steal food from his kitchen. She froze then she slowly offered the food back to him. When he saw how skinny she was and how tiny she was he refused to take the food back from her, instead he offered her a place to stay. She refused at first. Promptly running away. At this point she already had small patches of white starting to form in her hair.
She came back day after day and he gave her hot meals and something to drink eventually earning her trust and the third time he offered her a place to stay she agreed. He treated her like as if she were his own after that. Acting as a father figure to her and showing her compassion, showing her that the world wasn't always cruel and that people could be good citizens.
The man started to teach her at home, he taught her how to clean, cook, all the things a good housewife should know and she excelled at them, all the while her hair was still turning white and she said very little unless spoken too. The man also taught her basic hand to hand combat so that if she were ever attacked she could defend herself. He even went so far as to teach her some kendo he even gave her a sword that he made for her, she knew he was a sword smith but never thought to ask about it much, this eventually lead to her seeking tutorship but to no avail. No one wanted to teach the girl with hair white as freshly fallen snow. Seeing her as strange and weird, some even thought she might be a demon in disguise and thus they started to hate her.
She instead took to teaching herself. This meant that she would ALLOW herself to be attacked and then she would defend herself. Often leading to men being harmed in the process. Eventually people learned to leave her alone. With nothing else to do she now turned her attention to the many swords her father had, she pestered him, asking him to teach her how to make swords. He always said no until eventually she came home covered in small lacerations.
She agreed not to go out looking for fights so long as he taught her how to make swords.
He agreed. This was the beginning of her career. As a sword smith, she was fourteen at the time, and learning was hard, extremely hard but she kept at it. She even allowed her father to give her a new name. Kyo. For Kyo is a name associated with males, even if it is a unisex name.
For years she improved. She even made herself a blade, something perfectly matching her appearance and it has a bell on the end of it. Allowing her enemies to tell where she is and also to instill fear if she ever does fight.
She has been working for years and now? She's ended up in Omphalos, unsure how or why she's been brought to this place. Though she is happy that she has been reunited with a long lost friend, if she can even call him a friend.
