Name – Ui Kurokami
Age – 17
Gender – Female
Appearance –
Standing at a cutesy 5’8’’ Ui has long brown hair with a rainbow of colors streaking through her hair. Streaks of purple, red, blue, and green color her hair, the green is a lot more prominent than the red, blue and purple indicating that this is a new addition. Ui has a face of innocence, her caramel toned skin, that cute smile, and those deep hazel eyes. Her hair falls to the middle of her back, about a few inches above and opposite of her naval, but a slight fringe exists partially covering her forehead. Her delicate features suggest a pampered life, although her scars on her hands and arms suggested a harden life as well. Contradiction after contradiction. Her facial features are rounded out and resemble a sweet girl.
She maintains a formal aura of confidence. Whether she is dancing, cleaning her katana, or just eating on some jelly-donut her ramrod back never falters. Her clothing is casual and quickly put together suggesting a messy type of girl. She wears a wrinkled white blouse with golden buttons adorning the clothing; the buttons aren’t fixed in the proper places leaving an unmatched shirt revealing her undergarment underneath. The sleeves appear too large for her as her hands fits cozily within her sleeves. Her white cargo pants are adorned with pockets and keychains! She has several keychains on her pants, one of her favorites happens to be one that resembles a cat’s head with a bow on its ear. The others are a bit more unorthodox including a keychain of a stalk of broccoli, one was a dragon’s head, one was the pentagon’s thief, and another was the Japanese character for “Nothingness”.
Personality –
Cutesy and almost ditzy. She has a habit of tripping over her own two feet and staring off into space. She likes to smile and talk about cute things like puppies and kitties and that new zombie flick. Yet while Ui seems like a socially competent person she never seems to stick with the friends she makes, she even goes out of her way to remember their names. Ui seems fiercely loyal to her commanding officers and appears to have no problem with a few causalities, double-crossings and back-stabbing, this is what the world has been reduced to, she finds it her playground!
Ui appears to be a bit psychotic if one were to go as far when describing her. She has a tendency of engaging in odd activities such as randomly eating after an assignment, or even playing chess with herself on occasions. Ui also seems to have a near endless appetite, despite her thin stature she eats quite a bit of food, according to Ui because of her hyperactive body and the aftermath of her strenuous training that she requires 3x more energy than a normal person – so she claims. Ui seems to take her job seriously and even enjoys assassinating targets and even finds pleasure in murdering people, she appears indifferent to witnessing death or even suffering pain.
Weapons –
[FONT="]匿[/FONT][FONT="]名[/FONT][FONT="]; [/FONT]Tokumeki –
Tokumeki is a sword that is as much as an enigma as the owner. Ui rarely speaks of how she acquired the sword and whenever she does it is ordinarily far-fetched: sometimes she mentions that she got the sword from a wandering elder that gave it to her after she had killed off the local militia, other times she claims that her father had forged the sword and that it is quite different from regular swords in that magic was infused within its steel. It is difficult to pinpoint truth from those stories but the sword itself is most definitely different from ordinary ones. For one the blade of Tokumeki is straight in contrast to the wavy patterns most katanas take also this sword was used for slicing rather than hacking as most straight swords may do.
The blade itself is a nightmarish black with a purple hilt, the sheath is black and red with circular designs running through it. Ui claims that this sword has magical properties since it was “infused with magic when being forged,” – as she said – but so far there is no physical distinction between her sword and another. Whenever Ui uses the sword it is often heard not seen. In a true assassin fashion Ui is an expert with her sword but rarely ever completely unsheathes it, utilizing her natural ability and speed with the sword her subsonic lai she can quickly draw, attack, and sheath her blade without being seen. This is not, however, an example of superhuman speed, her lai follows Ui’s personal philosophy of speed and is more about being unseen rather than being faster.
Ui has rarely fought against an opponent that was able to not only see her lai but deflect the attack, to grace their ability Ui willingly draws her sword and faces them head on.
Along with Tokumeki Ui carries several other weapons that range from shuriken to kunai to even hidden blades; however she only carries those additional weapons if she is bound to face a large amount of targets, she doesn’t carry them on a day-to-day basis. Unlike those weapons, however, Ui does carry Tokumeki everywhere she goes but often wraps it in a covering so she doesn’t cause a panic.
Powers –
Rokushiki –
Tekkai –
Ui is able to freely manipulate the very structure of her own body so that her physical properties changes to accustom her needs. This is a rather one-sided technique since she is only able to use this ability to accomplish one task. With Tekkai she is essentially able to physically harden her body to mimic the properties of diamonds. Essentially with Tekkai she would be able to deflect any physical attack with relative ease. To this day she hasn’t been attacked with something that could penetrate past her Tekkai. However when Tekkai is in use she is unable to move considering her mass would increase to twice its original weight, she can somewhat bypass this with Soru but her control decreases since more power is needed to compensate for her additional weight.
Rankyaku-
Ui is able to generate a profuse amount of energy and by centering it around her legs she is able to, essentially, “kick” off the energy so it would produce an energy projectile akin to an “air-blade” capable of slicing through brick buildings easily. Since the “air-blade” is simply the result of a shockwave produced by the energy in her legs vibrating from the kicking motion creates the air-blade. It isn’t an energy blast more like repulsing the air to create a shockwave of sorts; the only real way to deflect it would perhaps be dispelling the air pressure.
Ui takes pride in her ability of Rankyaku – according to her this is her favorite ability – and is known for being quite fast while using it.
Soru –
This works off the principles of Rankyaku but there are gaping differences between the two. She gathers physical energy to the soles of her feet and from there she uses that energy to cause her feet to vibrate, in the fashion Rankyaku operates, and it uses that vibration to very much literally push off the ground and cause a propelling motion. This motion in turn creates the similar air pressure that Rankyaku provides but instead of producing a projectile it propels Ui forward. The propulsion itself isn’t fast but what makes Ui near untraceable is how she utilizes the propulsion. Her philosophy about speed isn’t being faster than your opponent it is simply being unseen by your opponent.
“You can be as fast as you want but as long as your opponent can still track you all of that speed won’t matter in the long run; you can be the slowest person in the world but still be as untraceable as an assassin if you work at it.”
Rather than fly around being the fastest thing to trek the ground she uses Soru to be difficult to track. As she says someone can be extremely fast when sprinting, but that doesn’t make him invisible, the human eye is still able to keep up with him since the motion created by his movements is still traceable. With soru she moves past being fast with linear movement to instead being faster with nonlinear movements.
A fly isn’t exactly fast but it is difficult to keep an eye on since it darts around here and there. Why is that? Simple! It changes direction being highly difficult to track. With soru she is able to utilize nonlinear movements and move about in a speedy matter without being detection and without the exertion of excess energy. You see in the process of using soru she stabilizes the energy centered on the soles of her feet and in mid-propulsion she diverts the energy so it surrounds her entire body. With that energy she is able to move more fluidly and easily so in the process of kicking off the ground she moves and twists her body so it would undetectable. It isn’t about being faster than the opponent; it is simply being untouchable by them.
Nikyu –
Utilizing her hands she is able to center physical energy on the palms of her hands and effectively use that to create a new technique. Essentially if one were to think about it the techniques of Rokushiki utilizes the physical energy a human body were to hold, if one were to train their bodies enough they could achieve superhuman qualities however it isn’t the technique that makes up the person it is the mastery of that technique. Rokushiki is the collaborative creation of multiple techniques derived from one: Nikyu.
With Nikyu she is able to “repel” the air in front of her palms to produce a shockwave in the form of a semitransparent sphere. This shockwave travels at the speed of the gust of wind and in all honesty isn’t difficult to avoid or even deflect however one should tread lightly if faced with Nikyu. The mere notion of air being a dangerous force against such elements like lightning or fire is almost laughable absurd. This shockwave can very much literally pierce virtually anything. Since the shockwave holds no real tangible body to travel think of it as a compressed tornado, such a large force encased in such a small form that is the shockwave is almost terrifying to think about. Whenever the shockwave passes through a tangible body it doesn’t leave any physical evidence of trauma, except an impression that resembles a sphere, but causes physical damage. Funny, isn’t it?
In essence with Nikyu, Ui repels the air in front of her to create a shockwave that can travel at extremely high speeds that can travel through practically anything and tear it up from the inside; Nikyu leaves an impression – even within rocks – of a sphere which can even be left on human bodies.
Nanba Hashiri -
Not necessarily a special supernatural technique and definitely not a part of Rokushiki either. It is a method of running utilized by the samurais of the days of yore. Nanba Hashiri isn't as difficult as one may make it out to be - considering with Ui's personal training and enhanced physical attributes she pushes Nanba Hashiri to the limits. It is rather simple actually, one walks using their arms and legs at the same time without losing the undulation that comes from the body she effectively uses less energy and moves quicker than if she were to run normally. Utilizing her personal physical augmentation, however, she can move at superhuman speeds at top speed, combination with Rokushiki's Soru she can become nearly invisible.
