Major Traits

What's your character's style? Are they traditional, or a free-spirit?

(Traditional) Your character usually follows the rules and the "normal" way of doing things. They are conservative, hardworking, routine, stable, and diligent. They focus on doing what's expected and making sure it's done without much fuss. They prefer to follow society's standard values, standard dress, and are slower to accept new ideas. They are the ones who wait for someone to finish speaking, before they themselves start. They are usually meek and respectful.

(Free-Spirit) Your character is used to doing things their own way and following their own path. They don't like going with the crowd. They prefer to live by their own code. These characters are open to most everything. They like to experiment and have no problem changing to take on new environments and situations. These are the ones who'd more likely ditch and leave a conversation if something more interesting pops up.

What is your character's way of action? Are they physical, or mental?

(Physical) Your character experiences the world primarily through physical touch. They like to hold things, hug things, kick things, punch things; anything that lets them connect with life in tangible ways. They are very aware of their bodies and surroundings, but are liable to get irritated if they're not able to move around for too long.

(Mental) Your character likes to take things in through their mind. They like to plan, think, imagine, and wouldn't mind spending a whole day inside their heads. Their brain holds an entire world; sometimes bigger than the one outside. Though they may like to daydream and appear as if they're not doing anything at all, they are. You just can't see it.

What kind of resolve does your character have?

(Careful) Your character is cautious. These are the type who look before they leap. If there was a dangerous situation where someone needed help, there's a possibility this character might jump in; just don't expect them to be the first. If there's something frightening coming, follow them if you want to live to fight another day.

(Bold) This character is brave. They are the type who leap before they look. In a dangerous situation where someone needed help, this person might stand back for a bit, but they wouldn't be able to keep out of the action for long. If there's something frightening coming, stand behind them if there's no choice but to fight.

What type of outlook does your character have on life?

(Realist) This character sees things for how they really are, not how they want them to be. A realist is practical. They do not shoot for the stars, but aim low and try to do things they know can be done. They can be cynical, brutally honest, always seeking the truth, and hard to make happy because of it.

(Idealist) This character sees things for how they should be, not what they seem. An idealist is imaginative. They refuse to be stopped by how things are and try to create change needed by shooting for the stars. They are positive thinkers who have faith and trust that most times the goal can be reached -- you just have to try.

What level of openness does your character have?

(Extrovert) These characters charge up and refresh by spending time interacting with external life. They lose their pep when spending too much time alone; most specifically during introspection. This character feels better talking to or interacting with other people and things, sometimes with more than one item or person at once. That is good. The more the merrier! They are usually effervescent characters that handle the outside world extremely well.

(Introvert) These characters de-stress and center by spending time alone. They lose their charm when being around people or other external things for too long; especially large crowds of them. Being spoken to directly or performing an externally demanding task, drains them even faster. When exposed to too many things at once, these characters will soon likely take a break to rest and recover. Introverted typed people are usually independent, and thoughtful, reliable friends.

Lesser Traits

What's your character's demeanor?

(Serious) Your character doesn't like to play games. They're all business. They get straight to the point and quickly move on as soon as things are settled. Time is one thing this character does not waste without a fight.

(Playful) Your character loves to play games and have fun. Joking around is a must. They may never get to the point...instead sit back and enjoy the view. Who cares if they lose a minute or two? These characters don't. Come on! Lighten up!

Which way to knowledge does your character prefer?

(Education) Your character places a high value on education. They likely took classes and studied a lot from books themselves. Though unlikely to reach a true and complete mastery of a single topic, these kinds of people usually know a great deal about many different subjects.

(Experience) Your character is a child of experience. They likely went out and got what they know about a subject by actually doing it. These kinds of people aren't able to explore everything in the world, but from what they have come across, they usually have a very deep understanding of.

Is your character romantic?

(Affectionate) Your character is affectionate, comfortable with romance, and open to love. This can be as friends or as something more. This person would be the type to sit with another and pat them as they cry their problems out on their shoulder.

(Detached) Your character is oblivious to love, affection, romance, and all. This can be towards friends or anyone they see as something more. This person would rather give a tissue or direct someone to the bathroom, instead of letting them cry on their shoulder.

Breathing:
- Tornado Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics cyclones, specifically the gusting, force and rotation of the air and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities.

Users also visualize themselves seemingly creating and manipulating tornadoes when unleashing its techniques.

- Tornado Breathing: Third Form - Enhanced Fujita Three. Momentarily spinning themselves at speeds of 136-165 MPH, the user intends to cause "moderate" damage to the target by channeling the speed through their weapon of choice.
- Tornado Breathing: Sixth Form - Eye of The Storm. Closing one eye, the user shifts all visual acuity to the other, greatly enhancing that eye's natural abilities. A sign of the skill is a steady circular motion from the open eye.
Weapon(s):
- A Nichirin bow with bladed edges and a quiver of 15 Nichirin steel arrows.
Biography:

An older member of a prominent tribe of Native Americans, Wayra Catawnee, was named for her propensity sputter and blow like the wind. As a newborn, the first thing Wayra's parents noticed about her was her love of gurgling, blowing, and smacking her lips together just because it seemed like fun. When weather was bad and the settlement holed up inside to take cover, their child always seemed to be calm, even at rest, when the howling winds were blowing across the land. Hunting and trapping were the activities Wayra enjoyed as a child, even as her mother often ran after her to become a "good housemaker" for her future husband. With time however and the onset of maturity, Wayra grew to a fine, pliant woman, watchful of her words and eager to be the glue that held her family together.

However, as with all things, both good and bad, they never do quite seem to last. A year into her marriage and ready to bear children for the Cherokee nation, something tragic happened. Something that till this day, she still does not understand. As the yankee who saved her explained it, "her husband was gone and would never be the same again". But...how could that be she wondered? Not only did he escape at the sight of the yankee, but just minutes before, Wayra felt her hand cut through his throat with a cracked edge from one of their small kitchen bowls. Was he a Nûñnë'hï? Immortals that hid in the mountains where no timber grew? Or was it entirely something else - some other kind of spirit the elders warned them about long ago? There were so many questions. She had so many questions. But in that moment, the thing that weighed on her most, was how the yankee got his weapon to glow so brightly in the ray of that dying moon.

Breathing:

Breath of the Cosmos

Cosmic breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics comets and meteors, replicated through Rus' rifle. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms involve long ranged projectiles that are powerful enough to create explosive effects, but are inaccurate and/or boast considerable recoil. All bullets effected by the Breathing Style turn bright like comets with an arching tail. Users of Cosmic Breathing also visualize the world as a collective of the universe, all interconnected and drawn by a single string of fate. It is said that the breathing style begun many decades ago with Benjamin Franklin.

Stances:

The techniques and forms you use with your breathing.

Weapon(s):

1903 Springfield Rifle: A magazine fed, bolt-action rifle, formally adopted by the United States Military in 1903. It can hold up to four rounds at a time, and each mission, Rus is given three magazines of Nichirin bullets. The gun itself boasts a grey gradient, a similar color to the nozzle shown below. It can be accessorized with a scope or bayonet, both of which Rus actively employs (the latter also maintaining Demon slaying capabilities and a similar grey color).
Biography:
Rus was born in Worcester, Massachusetts to a family of Harvard scholars. He was the second child to survive child birth in the family, the first being his older brother Walter. To say the brothers were spoiled was an understatement, it was as if the love meant for the 4 miscarriages had been drenched over them like ice water. Russel and Walter had everything they could ever want: books, candy but most importantly the best tutors the American dream could offer. This access to the country's top academics garnered a passion pinched by learning . Walter grew to love Anthropology, while Russel gravitated unnaturally towards physics; like his contemporaries Einstein and Tesla. Rus had such a knack for Mathematics, that when his peers at his private school began their Multiplication tables, Russel had already mastered Integrals and Derivatives. His parents believed he was destined to change the world around him and Rus had begun to believe this to be his ball of yarn.

Walter was an amicable man, able to bring girls back to his dorm easy, whereas Rus had become to grow estranged to those around him. While his peers would struggle with advanced calculus, Rus breezed by. Very little challenged him and this tormented the boy's mind, only soothed by his brother's presence. Russel grew a reputation of being anti-social, aggressive and even arrogant. Deep down, he believed himself better than those around him, but Walt kept the winged-boy grounded, or at least at arm's length.

By the time Walter had graduated with a degree in Anthropology, Russel had already been working as a lecturer for Harvard at the age of 22. Walter did a lot of fieldwork, studying the Indigenous people of North America. However, on one of his missions to the Cherokee nation in Oklahoma, Walter and his team went missing mysteriously, with no evidence other than a bloodied denim jacket beloved by Walter. Without his grounding force, Russel became notoriously abusive towards his students, berating them for getting questions wrong, or for any excuse he could find. The final straw broke when he had physically attacked one of his students to a bloody pulp for an adding a mistake. Not only did he lose his position at Harvard, but he had alienated the last of his family.

With nothing left to occupy him, the 26 year old Russel became obsessed with his brother's disappearance. The once proud and arrogant man became depressed and despondent. He accepted a position as a Professor at the spry University of Oklahoma. None of his violent tendencies followed him, but students noted him as an apathetic teacher who had lost passion in the numbers he taught. Russel did embark in a new interest, however, and that was the demons. He began to draw conclusions that his brother had been murdered by them, leading to a sporadic departure from the University of Oklahoma at the age of 27. His destiny no longer lied in the numbers he was promised, but to free Walter's soul.

Breathing:

Lightning breathing is as the name implies closely related to thunder breathing in utilising extreme speeds to swiftly overwhelm an enemy, it differs by focusing on enhancing the output of the arms instead of the legs allowing for faster and more precise movements in drawing, firing and reloading revolvers. This style is often partnered with drugs enhancing visual acuity and the speed of perception for more precise aiming at vital points, overdosing or regular use of such drugs damages the user's eyes and those that do manage to retire often have varying levels of permanently impaired vision.

Stances:

The techniques and forms you use with your breathing.

Weapon(s):

A matching pair of Colt Single Action Army revolvers loaded with Nichirin bullets.
Machete forged from Nichirin steel.
Biography:

Born to the leadership of an Irish-American crime gang Perry was raised in relative luxury as immigration propelled it's growth but also surrounded by violence as the gang pushed out rivals. Being slighter in build and more mellow in disposition than his brothers he found himself falling behind shortly after being introduced to the family business, rather than work harder to earn his place Perry screwed around as much as he could and elected to 'work smarter not harder' when forced to work at all to avoid being cut off.

Perry managed to toe the line until the tail end of his teenage years when the gang hit a rougher patch, things seemed to be looking up when a mysterious new business partner employed them to store and smuggle goods for a handsome price and a promise not to look at what was inside the crates. Naturally they very quickly peeked and discovered that they contained an assortment of strange ores and medicine, taking an interest in the incredible effects of the drugs the gang took to skimming some out of each shipment.

The betrayal of their benefactor's dubious trust proved to be their undoing, arriving characteristically late to a meeting Perry found his family and their associates torn apart and partially devoured. Before Perry could process what had happened the Pinkertons arrived and took him into custody, after being questioned they told him that the goods the gang had been smuggling were demon slaying materials stolen from the Pinkertons and that the client had been a demon seeking to learn about the Slayers' tools. Eventually Perry was presented with a choice; he could either take the fall for the gang's crimes, go to prison and get shanked before the week was out or work with them to catch his family's killer and other demons hiding in the criminal underworld.

(Physical) Your character experiences the world primarily through physical touch. They like to hold things, hug things, kick things, punch things; anything that lets them connect with life in tangible ways. They are very aware of their bodies and surroundings, but are liable to get irritated if they're not able to move around for too long.

(Mental) Your character likes to take things in through their mind. They like to plan, think, imagine, and wouldn't mind spending a whole day inside their heads. Their brain holds an entire world; sometimes bigger than the one outside. Though they may like to daydream and appear as if they're not doing anything at all, they are. You just can't see it.

What kind of resolve does your character have?

(Careful) Your character is cautious. These are the type who look before they leap. If there was a dangerous situation where someone needed help, there's a possibility this character might jump in; just don't expect them to be the first. If there's something frightening coming, follow them if you want to live to fight another day.

(Bold) This character is brave. They are the type who leap before they look. In a dangerous situation where someone needed help, this person might stand back for a bit, but they wouldn't be able to keep out of the action for long. If there's something frightening coming, stand behind them if there's no choice but to fight.

What type of outlook does your character have on life?

(Realist) This character sees things for how they really are, not how they want them to be. A realist is practical. They do not shoot for the stars, but aim low and try to do things they know can be done. They can be cynical, brutally honest, always seeking the truth, and hard to make happy because of it.

(Idealist) This character sees things for how they should be, not what they seem. An idealist is imaginative. They refuse to be stopped by how things are and try to create change needed by shooting for the stars. They are positive thinkers who have faith and trust that most times the goal can be reached -- you just have to try.

What level of openness does your character have?

(Extrovert) These characters charge up and refresh by spending time interacting with external life. They lose their pep when spending too much time alone; most specifically during introspection. This character feels better talking to or interacting with other people and things, sometimes with more than one item or person at once. That is good. The more the merrier! They are usually effervescent characters that handle the outside world extremely well.

(Introvert) These characters de-stress and center by spending time alone. They lose their charm when being around people or other external things for too long; especially large crowds of them. Being spoken to directly or performing an externally demanding task, drains them even faster. When exposed to too many things at once, these characters will soon likely take a break to rest and recover. Introverted typed people are usually independent, and thoughtful, reliable friends.

Lesser Traits

What's your character's demeanor?

(Serious) Your character doesn't like to play games. They're all business. They get straight to the point and quickly move on as soon as things are settled. Time is one thing this character does not waste without a fight.

(Playful) Your character loves to play games and have fun. Joking around is a must. They may never get to the point...instead sit back and enjoy the view. Who cares if they lose a minute or two? These characters don't. Come on! Lighten up!

Which way to knowledge does your character prefer?

(Education) Your character places a high value on education. They likely took classes and studied a lot from books themselves. Though unlikely to reach a true and complete mastery of a single topic, these kinds of people usually know a great deal about many different subjects.

(Experience) Your character is a child of experience. They likely went out and got what they know about a subject by actually doing it. These kinds of people aren't able to explore everything in the world, but from what they have come across, they usually have a very deep understanding of.

Is your character romantic?

(Affectionate) Your character is affectionate, comfortable with romance, and open to love. This can be as friends or as something more. This person would be the type to sit with another and pat them as they cry their problems out on their shoulder.

(Detached) Your character is oblivious to love, affection, romance, and all. This can be towards friends or anyone they see as something more. This person would rather give a tissue or direct someone to the bathroom, instead of letting them cry on their shoulder.
Breathing:

Wolf Breathing - An animal breathing style mimicking the breathing of wolves that actually originated in England, prior to the extinction of wolves in from her family's home country. The overhunting and removal these predators from their home country was actually the reason the Von Rowenbergs settled in the New World (were more wolves still roam) and have lived there ever since. Its founder, Rudolf Von Rowenberg, was said to have been saved my a demon (while hunting in the forest) by a Great Grey Wolf and learned the wolf breathing technique by watching and imitating his canine companion. Since then, all members of the Von Rowenberg family learn the wolf breathing technique. Upon passing the Demon Slayer Exam, members of the family are gifted with a canine companion trained in Demon hunting to travel with (if they didn't already have one). A savage, ferocious style somewhat similar to other animal/beast breathing styles, but a bit more calculated...like a hunter. It's a style that works well with others and is actually best used with a trained wolf companion. Can't really learn it without one.

Stances:

*First Form: Fang - A two-handed vertical slash (like a chop, really) that's strong to leave a fang-like mark on the ground.

*Second Form: Fang Two Fang - Moving so quickly that there seems to be two of her, Hilda (and her afterimage) deals a powerful strike vertical strike to her target. Only one of them is real. Which one? Your guess. Two fang-like marks are left on the ground when the attack is finished. It's a 2-hit attack. There are Fang Three Fang, Fang Four Fang, Fang Five Fang, etc variants.

*Third Form: Canine Cartwheel -- Dragging her axe along the ground, Hilda swings upward, clipping the toe of her opponent and sends them cartwheeling up in the air. This technique can be followed up with any attack/form of her choice.

*Fourth Form: Howl of the Wolf King - Deeply breathing, Hilda then releases a sound similar to a wolf's battle cry. Any wolves nearby will then come to her aid. It also makes them submit to her while she commands them to either attack or surround the target. To her enemies, the howl instills a feeling of fear and may stun those who lack the mental fortitude. Even demons are no exception.

*Fifth Form: Hunter's creed - Hilda lets out her breath, cooling her body and lowering her presence as she seemingly disappears while her companion(s) strikes the target from behind. Both she and her companion knows this form (Companion required for this form)

*Sixth Form: Wolves' Fury - Shooting straight at the opponent, Hilda deals random flurry of vertical and horizontal slashes that (if they don't already cut her opponent to bits) will steadily drive the target to where her companion is hidden as she pushes forward with unrelenting fury.

Seventh Form: Crescent Moon Swing - A horizontal slash that draws an 180 degree arc similar to a crescent moon, this technique seems to draw its energy from the moon and is best done at night. It shatters steel with ease.

Eight Form: Full moon Swing - Same as crescent moon swing, but it swings her axe a full 360 degree circle.

Nineth Form: Inner Wolf - Hilda channels her inner wolf to gain heightened senses capable so capable of smelling, hearing, and just plain feeling where her enemies are. Once this form is used, fighting in the dark poses little problems.

*Tenth Form: Dance of the Lupin - Following the Nineth form, Hilda performs a series of animalistic attacks that greatly resembles a werewolf and generally ends in the target being decapitated. Those who've seen her use this technique could swear they were looking at one. This technique can be done with a wolf companion for double the effect when she and her demon-hunting companion dance as one.

*Eleventh Form: Reeling in the Prey - Slamming her axe eye to the ground, Hilda radiates a challenging aura that draws demons towards her.

*Twelfth Form: Moon's Healing - Breathing a certain way, Hilda increases her body's natural recovery rate, healing most minor injuries with ease. Most effective at night.

Thirteenth Form: Fetch! - Hilda throws her axe in a way that lets it spin back into her hand - after cleaving off a couple of heads along the way that is.

Note: All the stances marked by * are ones Boreas can perform (but canine versions)

Weapon(s):

A large Nichirin Axe.
Biography:

Born from old, wealthy Demon-slaying family that had a long history of producing demon slayers, grew up training and playing alongside the demon-hunting wolves her family raised. She knew from the start what she was meant to be. She was taught to abhor them - the monsters that consumed human life. Hilda's mother lost her life to a demon. Her father never failed to remind of her duties. She had to get revenge. Uphold her family up. Protect humanity. Growing up in a country-side mansion in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Hilda didn't have much friends other than her canine companions, or her maids, being home-schooled and all. She did go to the city time to time, taken by her maids whenever she wanted to go shopping, or see city sights, so it wasn't like Hilda was completely isolated...but she couldn't truly connect with the children who didn't know what she knew. The ones that played outside at night, never knowing that was the hour that demons lurked. Never knowing that demons lurked among them - that it could be one of them.

Not that she hadn't tried.

Willow, the wolf pup Hilda always took with her, warned her of the demon in child guise among a group of children. Barked really loudly in the presence of the demon. Hilda tried to warn the other children. They didn't believe her. Then one by one, they all died. Eventually, her father returned and was able to deal with the demon after Hilda's report. Since then, Hilda kept away from the city and buried herself in her training. She regretted that she hadn't been able to do anything. If she had been strong enough to act, if she had been as skilled as her father, she might've been able to save the lives of all those children her age. However, Hilda had been afraid. She never wanted to experience that feeling again.

At 16, she passed her Demon Slayer Exam, received her first Nichirin axe (which glowed red at her touch), and started her journey around America with Willow. After Willow died to a demon, Hilda raised and trained one of Willow's pups, Boreas, to take her place. While their main quest is to hunt down and slay the demon that killed Willow, Hilda makes it a habit to slay any demon she comes across as well.

Breathing:

Impact Breathing: Impact Breathing is a Breathing Style deriving from Stone Breathing.

Impact Breathing is a breathing style developed and self taught by Tony Rogers to mimic the brutal forces of nature, man and beast. While Stone breathing is the direct basis for Impact breathing, some of it's forms pull inspiration from other known styles. This breathing style utilizes a great deal of physical strength and speed to maximize the overall destructive power of each blow that is delivered.

Stances:

First Form: Striking Anvil- The user sturdies their grip for a close range assault and swiftly swings down, as if their blade is a blacksmith's hammer. Ideally, this is technique is preformed once the target is held in place by the user's offhand. This form is visualized from a side view, with the appearance of an anvil in the background and a pitch black backdrop. The darkness and the anvil is illuminated by the striking of metal as the user's blade strikes their target.

Second Form: Charging Boar- The user holds their blade in front of them with the flat side facing forward, and places their off hand against the other end of it. They then begin to rapidly pick up speed until they are close enough to ram the blunt side of the blade into their target, causing great blunt force trauma. This form can also be used defensively, by tilting the blade as needed to block and deflect incoming attacks while the user closes the distance. This form is visualized as, when the user lunges and throws their arms forward to bash the target, an enraged boar is seen charging alongside them.

Third Form: Blazing Tunnel- The user crouches low to the ground while holding their blade behind their back. They begin to swing it in a continuous circle as they go for a sudden long jump, engulfing it in flames while collecting pressure waves, then lunge as soon as their feet touch the ground. They then swing their blade through the lunge in a reverse grip to decapitate their target before the pressure waves pass the user and blast the target away. The flames on the sword are visualized, while the pressure waves created appear as a great fiery explosion following the user, as if traveling through a tunnel and released from the exit.

Fourth Form: Capsized By Crashing Waves- The user lowers their stance and reels back with their weapon pointing down. Using all the strength in their legs and arms, the user fiercely bring their blade through the ground to preform a two handed vertical slash in a harsh upward motion. Both cleaving into their target and sending them into a disorienting tumble. This form is visualized with the image of a violent wave smashing into the port (Left side) of a vessel, that inevitably turns over.

Fifth Form: Violent Gusting Wind- The most versatile of the Ten Impact Breathing forms, the user straightens their posture with confidence, standing tall, with their blade ready for an upward diagonal slash. With a swift and powerful motion, they slice the air from left to right as the blade ascends, creating a long ranged pressure wave that blows away dirt, wind and everything in its path with a destructive and sudden ferocity. The form has many applications, not only is it a strong, fast, and deadly, but the large radius and arc is capable of defending from many incoming attacks while simultaneously countering. This form is even capable of draw striking, (an attack preformed simultaneously with drawing the blade.) This form is partially visualized, and unlike Wind Breathing's jagged green-colored attacks, this form is a simple off-white color, similar to a rapidly moving dust cloud. The air pressure alone when preforming this technique creates a loud clapping sound caused by a sonic boom.

Sixth Form: Erupting Earthquake- The user utilizes superior speed to slash the ground and anything else with clean cuts, before returning to the center and stabbing their sword straight into the earth with superior strength. This generates enough force to send the newly cut ground exploding upward with lasting tremors.

Seventh Form: Charging Ram- Like the second form, the user holds out their blade horizontally with the other end held for stabilizing, only now the blade is facing forward and off hand is against the spine. Furthermore, with this technique the user does not pick up momentum, they instead tilt their body forward with a low stance and rush forward with a great burst of speed. Such speed breaks up the ground with every long stride before reaching their target, and either rams directly into them to plunge the blade, or release the off hand to swiftly decapitate their target at an unpredictable angle.

Eighth Form: Disordered Pugilist Volley- Rather than using the Blade for this form, the user utilizes the kashira, the butt of the hilt. The user holds their blade in a reverse grip and thrust at the air several times with supernatural strength to create large pressure waves. These large waves travel through the air and bombard their target several times in quick succession, like explosive machine gun fire. This form is visualized as visible pressure waves, but begin as a series of disembodied fists of gold being swung at the same time.

Ninth Form: A Tranquil Shattering Strike- This form is unlike any of the others. Instead of ferocious swings, this form focuses on precision and a feel for the target's weak point. Using their senses to find vibrations in their target, the user of this technique singles out the most fragile, breakable spot. Instead of using a powerful swing of the blade, with the blunt spine of the blade, they seamlessly strike the spot with just enough force to break it. This technique requires a calm mind and steady breathing to preform, as well as simple intuition.

Tenth Form: God's Wrath, Lightning Spear Impact: The pinnacle of Impact Breathing, mimicking the fearsome power of the sky; lightening, to generate unimaginable power into a single swing. The user forces their body high into the air, and once they are at the apex of their jump, use all their arm and core strength to spin at high velocity to gain as much downward momentum as possible. Once preforming this acrobatic feat, they make their blinding fast plunge with their dominant arm outstretched with their blade cutting through air and anything else as it travels down. The technique concludes with their clenched sword hand doubling as a fist that strikes the ground with a force that breaks the ground apart and sends all around them flying back. The visual of this move is akin to Thunder breathing's First form, but instead vertically rather than horizontally.

Tenth Form: Improved, God's Insistent Wrath, Lightning Spear Forceful Impact: A further developed version of the Tenth form with the drawback being situational to the terrain. As is the case with the normal form, the user jumps with all their might, but instead of reaching the apex of the jump, they instead utilizes the ceiling of whatever enclosed space they are in, provided it is high enough for them to preform the technique i.e. a large spacious cave, or tall tree branch. Reusing the same movement to leap from the ground, they then use it to come back down again to generate even more velocity than normal, and tack on even more power with a quick spin on the way down.

Weapon(s):

Nichirin Sword (Katana) With the blade a dark Indigo #28396c and the typical black spine. As is seen in some Nichirin, where the colors meet is a pattern. A pattern of square-shaped, black notches that cross into the indigo colored blade side. These notches appear to have small, hairline cracks in the design. The hilt is slightly longer than average, about a foot long, and is wrapped with black leather with the inside painted a light red color.
The appearance of the 'tsuba' or guard.
Biography:

Born in a small village of Finland, Toivo, his family and the entire village were one of the many groups of people immigrating to America for safe refuge. All at once, their village was deserted when he was no more than Four years old. Although it was common for the Finns to immigrate at this time, the case for Toivo's village was extraordinary; they were being attacked by a demon. Toivo doesn't remember much about those times except for Finland's snow, but the talk of the demon never left his people. He had never seen the demon, but he could only imagine what it could have been by the fear the older folk had.

Many years later as an inhabitant of Minnesota, with a new name and a new purpose, Tony gleefully worked as a lumberjack with his uncle who was now the only family he had left. Every humble day started and ended the same way as his 14th birthday was drawing near. In his Minnesota community was a girl he had known since the immigration named Suzan, who too was from his village. They were friends, the only friend Tony really had. Any free time he had was spent looking for wherever she was hiding. The talk of the demon died down until there was nothing left of it, not even a peep. Until the horror came back. It had been days of searching in his down time, but he couldn't seem to find her. Tony figured she was sick or maybe she was mad at him for something. Typical stuff. But the night of his birthday, the truth was revealed. As he searched for her during sunset, Tony made the horrible discovery that a demon had made it into their community, and a little known fact about them was that they were once human. Something he only found out because he recognized her.

As his friend turned monster attacked, little to their knowledge was a Demon Slayer already hot on her tail. Fortunately she was weak, and Tony was able to overpower her. She tried to run, and people had seen her which sparked mass panic, but Tony managed to keep up when Suzan was met with a Demon Slayer. Tony didn't know who they were, but they could tell that this older man was here to kill her. He begged him not to, stating that she was his friend, but it did not stop the slayer. It was only when Tony got in the man's way with fearsome eyes that Tony was able to convince the slayer. The slayer's name was Dolton, an old and experienced Demon Slayer. Perhaps not the strongest due to his age, but one who knew how to keep a demon locked up for the safety of Tony's town. Dolton allowed Suzan to live on the condition that Tony become a demon slayer himself to become strong enough to protect people from Suzan, but for Tony it was motivation to be strong enough to protect Suzan from others. Over the next coming months, Dolton trained Tony in the water breathing style, but no matter how much they trained, the style did not suit him. Dolton thought for a long time before deciding it would be best for Tony to learn the style that suited him better, Stone Breathing. The only stone breathing teacher Dolton knew however, was all the way in japan. They both knew it would be impossible to bring Suzan along with him, but they also both knew Tony could not protect his friend in his current state.

By this point Tony's uncle had passed, leaving this girl to be the only person he had left. While naive, Tony made the tough decision to leave Suzan behind with Dolton to pursue training in the east. Unbeknownst to Tony however, this was Dolton's way to kill his demon without any trouble. 8 long years of training in Japan, every minute thinking about Suzan, becoming a demon slayer through final selection, and finding the inspiration to develop his very own breathing style, Tony returned to his home town at the age of 22. He was more than ready for the task he had set out to do in the firs place, but all he was met with was the tragic manipulations of Dolton. All that was left of Suzan's shack was the blood stained headband she used to wear. In a twisted turn of events, Dolton had died not long after his arrival back from Japan. Not even vengeance could be achieved, and in a desperate attempt of relief, Tony sought out the demon who killed Dolton. But even that could not solve his dilemma, as the demon explained in an amused tone. Laughing as he told the story that Dolton overdosed on his drugs in an attempt to beat the powerful demon. Noting how "pathetic" it was that Dolton didn't even make it onto his doorstep. Not even a quick and seamless slice through the demons neck helped Tony in his hopeless pursuit.

Finally, two years later in his prime, Tony often visits Suzan's grave. Sometimes he remarks about how bitter it is that there isn't even a body to come visit. As much as it hurts, from lost to betrayal, he finds a positive outlook and fights off the demons, so what happened to Suzan doesn't happen to anyone else. He knows they were all human once, all the more reason to stay strong so he can at the very least make it a little more painless.

Biography:

The oldest ever and current head of the Pinkerton Alliance, Roger Pinkerton is a man who takes after the spirit of fiery Juliana Pinkerton. Though not able (or willing) to go through the Demon Slayer Trial himself, he nevertheless has been one of the more respected leaders of the clan. A far better man than the one who proceeded, Roger's strategies have brought the Alliance far. Taking over during a period where his younger brother was assassinated and the mantle being left to him, the Pinkerton was successful in pulling together the Corps during the time - especially when it was made known the killer of the previous leader was a slayer. Though Demons took this as an opportunity and stormed the Western safe-zone in the mountains of California, the humans were at least able to escape being wiped out due to his quick-thinking.

It's not a wonder then that despite not fighting alongside them, slayers still see him as a fellow on equal footing, just like they would have Juliana. He takes his job seriously, possesses tactics that surpass the skill of many men, and isn't opposed to taking bold moves that would put the corps out in front. In this way, he is like that Flame Hashira of old - always striving for the ideal and taking the moves necessary to make it happen. While many would have assumed a younger leader who could have become a slayer themselves, was more fit to be head of the alliance, Roger was a pleasant surprise. He's made it clear to all those employed by the Pinkerton Alliance his goal is to rid of the country of Demons and through the actions he has taken, there are virtually no Demon Slayers who doubt that.

Breathing:
Breath of Reaping
A style that focuses on wide sweeping strikes, as if to separate wheat from the chaff. Ironically, it traces its roots to farmers who became hunters of the demons that plagued their lands, who used the same tools that once helped them collect what they have sown

Stances:
1st Form: All Paid
A simple horizontal sweeping attack that catches foes in an extremely wide arc. The basic form of Breath of Reaping, and all practitioners are expected to be at least proficient in it. It is notably quite difficult to execute properly due to the twisting of the body that the wielder must do to make sure the blade cuts all the way through.

2nd Form: Collector
An advanced form of All Paid, where the wielder sweeps around them in a circular motion, slicing through everything around them. Mastering the 1st Form's nuances is necessary to execute this properly. It bodes ill for practitioners to have their blade catch at the last minute due to poor form.

3rd Form: All Owed
The practitioner executes a cross slash with their scythe, dividing their target into four. It is often followed through with Collector to take their targets' heads.

Weapon(s):
A huge crimson scythe that is as tall as they are. Its entire blade is made of nichirin steel.
The weapon or weapons specially crafted for you to slay demons with.
Biography:
None of the people that Kincaid was from ever respected the Demon Slayers. They were wanderers who offered their help to those in need, and they spat on things like belonging to an organisation. They had their own motto: "From the people, for the people.", and they executed their duty, separate from the Slayers. Having come from nothing more than farmers who wanted to do good, they wanted for nothing, and they served no master except the good of the people. Kincaid was raised in the same manner. A baby whose parents were killed by rampaging demons, their mother cradling them in her arms as she bled to death after fleeing from the massacre, Kincaid was but one of those who suffered the injustice and indignity that the demons visited upon humanity. Brought in by those who called themselves the Reapers, they were raised without the concept of gender or humanity, merely as tools of justice, sent out to kill any of those who would pervert the course of humanity for nothing more than sustenance and joy.

Kincaid continues to follow her people's nature, breaking off from their pack at 18, as most younglings are wont to do, to prove themselves that they are worthy of their weapons. Their scythe in hand, they wish to visit the same terror onto demons as they have visited onto the people- Reapers do not care for what their kind fight for, so long as justice and hatred for all that is evil burns within their hearts. Kincaid bears both of them as proud additions to their mantle, and it is said that no other Reaper before them has possessed such fervent desire to completely wipe the monsters from the face of the earth.

Breathing:

Impact Breathing: Impact Breathing is a Breathing Style deriving from Water Breathing.

Impact Breathing is a breathing style developed and self-taught by Didier Oyahe to mimic one of nature's most fluid yet destructive forces: water. While Water breathing is the direct basis for Impact breathing, all of its forms combine its pliability and grace with Didier's brute strength. This breathing style utilizes a great deal of physical strength and flexibility to maximize the overall destructive power of each blow that is delivered.

Stances:

Will be revealed and updated as the RP progresses.

Weapon:

A nichirin Ngulu (Hooked Short Sword).
Biography:

In the bustling town of Tamale, Ghana, there was an extraordinary boy named Didier Oyahe, who possessed a gift that set him apart from his peers. Born with a rare condition known as extreme muscle fiber hyperplasia, Didier was exceptionally strong from a young age. Even the slightest workout would unleash the raw power potential of his muscles, making him a veritable celebrity in his community. From the moment he could walk, Didier's parents noticed his incredible physical prowess. They encouraged his natural talent and enrolled him in various sports like wrestling and soccer. Didier was not only strong but also incredibly toned, as he diligently worked out to maintain his physique. His popularity soared in the schools he attended, as his feats of strength left everyone in awe.

However, life in Tamale was not without its mysteries and legends. Among the tales that captivated the imagination of the town's children was the legend of Madame Koi Koi, a malevolent entity said to haunt schools after dark. Didier and a couple of his adventurous friends couldn't resist the allure of this legend. Determined to uncover the truth, they decided to investigate the abandoned school where Madame Koi Koi was rumored to appear. One moonless night, they ventured into the eerie school building, armed with flashlights and trembling with excitement. Their heartbeats quickened as they stumbled upon the terrifying Madame Koi Koi herself, a grotesque and otherworldly creature. Bravely, Didier and his friends attempted to confront the monster, but their efforts were in vain. Madame Koi Koi seemed to heal instantly from any damage inflicted upon her, sending chills down their spines. Terrified and filled with dread, Didier and his friends fled the school, their panicked footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. Little did they know that their encounter with Madame Koi Koi would have dire consequences. In the days that followed, his friends met untimely and gruesome ends, one by one, as if cursed by the malevolent spirit they had dared to confront.

When it was Didier's turn to face the looming shadow of death, Madame Koi Koi visited his residence at night, bringing terror to his family. His parents fell victim to the creature's relentless fury. Cornered in the dimly lit kitchen, Didier's fate seemed sealed, until an unexpected savior burst into the house. A foreign demon slayer, introduced himself as Dolton Ray, had arrived at the behest of the town's chief to seek out and eliminate Madame Koi Koi. Hailing from America, Dolton explained his mission as a demon slayer, bearing one of the few weapons capable of vanquishing these malevolent beings – a Nichirin sword. As Dolton engaged in a fierce battle with Madame Koi Koi, Didier summoned his immense strength and grappled with the monstrous entity, desperately trying to hold her in place. This act of valor provided the opening Dolton needed to deliver the final blow, severing Madame Koi Koi's head from her body. With the threat gone, Dolton extended his hand to Didier in friendship and offered him an opportunity that would change the course of his life. Recognizing Didier's potential, Dolton, a water Hashira, invited him to become his Tsuguko, his disciple and apprentice. Didier, his world shattered and without immediate family, accepted the invitation, eager to learn the ways of the demon slayers.

Didier was captivated by the noble work of the demon slayers and dedicated himself to mastering the teachings of Dolton. For a year, they trained rigorously in West Africa, honing Didier's skills and preparing him for the challenges that lay ahead. When their training was complete, the pair embarked on a journey to Minnesota, USA, where Dolton continued to mentor Didier for another two years. During this time, Dolton shared stories of his prior students, like Tony Rogers, who had ventured to Japan to study another swordsmanship style known as stone breathing. He also spoke of a demon named Suzan, whom he had slain before meeting Didier. Despite Suzan's connection to Tony, Dolton believed that eliminating her was necessary for the greater good and spared Tony's feelings by sending him to Japan. With three years of intense training under his belt, Dolton felt that Didier was ready to embrace his destiny as a demon slayer. He recommended that Didier journey to the Western Pinkerton Estate and aspire to become a Hashira, the highest rank within the demon slayer corps. Dolton believed that Didier's unique strength and his adaptation of water breathing techniques into his own style, which he called Impact Breathing, would make him a formidable warrior.

And so, Didier embarked on his own path, leaving behind the mentor who had guided him to this point. He had become the Impact Hashira, dedicated to hunting demons across America and upholding the legacy of his mentor, Dolton Ray. As he roamed the shadows, Didier's incredible strength, yellow nichirin, and unwavering determination would serve as a beacon of hope in a world plagued by the forces of the dark.

Weapon(s):
- A Nichirin Calvary Saber with the words "Live, Laugh, Love", etched in black onto the white blade.
Biography:

Even from the beginning, Samantha was different. Born with an innate connection to the world of emotions, from the earliest days of her childhood, Samantha’s sensitivity to the feelings of those around her set her apart. While her peers reveled in games and laughter, she found herself drawn to the more tenuous corners of the human psyche, curious about the fears and worries that most people would hide. Growing up, Samantha's parents, masters of holistic medicine, recognized her proclivity and encouraged her to explore her emotional intuition. Under their guidance, she learned to listen to the unspoken thoughts and feelings of others, honing her ability to sympathize deeply and connect on a profound level. Yet Samantha's upbringing was not without its challenges.

Her heightened emotional awareness often left her overwhelmed, struggling to find a balance between her own feelings and the torrent of emotions she sensed in those around her. As she entered her adolescent years, Samantha's curiosity led her to delve into the abundant books on self-care housed within her parents' library. There, she stumbled upon manuscripts of her parent's early years- fighting demons and healing those who were poisoned by their scourge. Intrigued by these notes, Samantha began to train herself in the art of combat, fueled by her desire to confront these monsters that caused so much destruction to the human soul.

Through rigorous self-discipline, Samantha transformed her innate emotional sensitivity into an extraordinary advantage. She realized that her deep understanding of emotions granted her the power to anticipate her opponent's moves and motivations in battle. With each training session, she grew more skilled at wielding her emotions as weapons, channeling her own feelings to amplify her strength and accuracy. As the years passed, Samantha's proficiency in both emotional understanding and combat caught the attention of a Hashira in the Demon Slayer Corps. Recognizing her potential, she was made the Mind Hashira's Tsuguko and taken under their wing. Under their guidance, Samantha further refined her skills, learning to harness her emotions in ways that forged an unbreakable bond between her and her weapons.

So following these events, Theresa was appointed Regional Director of the entire Eastern United States by the board of Pinkertons. Given a dual mandate of figuring out the tricks to demon physiology and running the branches/estates that fell under her command, Theresa's mind gave her an unnatural leg up. While not ideal (at least to the public), the Pinkertons were not stupid. If there was a possibility to accomplish their goals even using unorthodox methods, then they were not opposed to it. Of course, as always, they would do their due diligence, but Ms. Marvo gave them no reason to suspect a thing. In fact, due to her intense fascination, intellectual idiosyncrasies, and keen awareness of structure, she had done a lot to move the organization forward - chief among them, establishing the pride and joy of the Demon Slayer's Corps' Eastern Estate: the famed New Genetics hospital.

Breathing:
- Breath of Moonlight- A breathing style revolving around one's ability to remain calm in battle. Avoiding any unnecessary movements, the user strikes with extreme speed and precision, never losing their composure as they show grace on the battlefield. While the style makes it easy for the user to adapt to their surroundings, Colt takes things a step further. Instead of limiting himself to the main forms, he's taken to incorporating other breathing styles into his own. Even if every technique can't be perfectly imitated, he learns the concept and transforms it into something usable.
Stances:
- First Phase, Waning Crescent- A feint where the user slashes at their target, only to drop the blade before making contact. The weapon is caught with the other hand and a second attack is made to catch the target off-guard. This can be repeated multiple times and improved with the use of afterimages.
- Second Phase, Dance Under Moonlight- A form that takes the concept used in Waning Crescent and applies it to the user's entire body. The user moves at high speeds to disorient the target with the use of afterimages and multiple feints.
- Third Phase, Waxing Crescent- A slash or series of slashes strengthened by the momentum a user creates while twisting their body.
- Fourth Phase, Moonbeams- A relentless assault of attacks where the user attempts to pierce the target's body. This puts pressure on the target and limits their movement by striking at any space they move toward while attempting to dodge. The true purpose of this technique is to cut the ankles, wrists, and other areas while the target is avoiding the attacks that are meant to grab their attention. The injuries limit their ability to move and use weapons.
- Fifth Phase, Libration: A powerful strike used to stun a target's muscles with oscillating waves. While it can be used against the body directly, this technique can also be performed by striking an opponent's weapons, carrying the waves from the area of impact to their arms.
- Sixth Phase, Penumbra- A defensive technique where the user holds their sword at an angle and deflects incoming attacks on impact. This is primarily use when the opponent is close, allowing them to quickly retaliate after an attack has slid off the surface of their blade.
- Seventh Phase, Umbra- A defensive technique primarily used against ranged attacks and attacks that cover a large surface area. The user protects their body by using a series of strikes to creative a protective shell with their blade.
- Eighth Phase, Half Body- A single high-speed strike performed immediately after the user draws their blade.
- Ninth Phase, Full Moon- The user performs a barrage of quick and precise strikes from various angles while twisting their body. They rotate around their target, keeping them contained to a single spot and caught in a dance of blades.
- Tenth Phase, New Moon- A state where the user achieves true tranquility. Their senses have been heightened so they can focus completely on their target. They analyze how the opponent moves, breathes, and speaks, taking in everything and matching it to the best of their ability. The technique revolves around becoming a mirror image of the enemy, trying to match every one of their movements with accuracy. Once they've perfected their timing, the user makes slight adjustments to their movements to drag the enemy into their pace.
- Eleventh Phase, Blood Moon: A form where Colt uses his blood to affect the cognitive abilities of demons.
- Twelfth Phase, Far Side: A quick barrage of bullets fired from one or both of Colt's revolvers.
Weapon(s):
Colt wields a white sabre and a pair of revolvers. He also carries two containers around his waist, each holding a mix of wisteria, strong moonshine, and his blood. The mixture works like a poison against demons, damaging and disorienting them. He often uses it to coat his blade and bullets.
Biography:

Colt's mother was a wanderer, born to a game hunter and Japanese immigrant. The woman only took a break from her aimless journey when she needed some good food and good company. One man managed to satisfy both of those needs, and their meeting resulted in a pregnancy that wasn't discovered until they had already separated. Nine months later, she returned to the town where Colt was conceived and left him with his father. She wasn't the type to settle down, and her lifestyle made it impossible to safely raise children, so she put her trust in the more responsible adult and set off once again.

Colt only knew about his mother through his father's stories, but her absence didn't bother him much. Truth be told, he didn't have much interest in the woman or her skills with a blade. Rather than a life of duels and demons, he was far more interested in his father's work.

His father was a chef, and their home also served as a small saloon. Growing up surrounded by food and the townsfolk who stopped by to enjoy it, Colt quickly decided that he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. The world could be cruel and unforgiving, and many people lived in fear of the demons that claimed lives every day. However, something as simple as a delicious meal helped them forget about their bleak reality. For a moment, they could just smile and enjoy their lives, not having to think about a thing. Colt was captivated by those smiles. He believed he could help more people with a kitchen knife than he could with a sword.

He spent years learning from his father, running the business by his side and experimenting with his cooking. With an extraordinary sense of taste, he had a natural talent for hunting game and turning his catches into mouthwatering meals. He was always trying to create the best dishes and make the perfect alcohol, never concerning himself with things like demons. Life was short, so he wanted to make it enjoyable. However, it was impossible to remain indifferent forever.

During a hunting trip, Colt found himself at the mercy of a hungry demon. He did his best to fight back, but an ordinary knife was of little help. He was injured, left unable to run or resist. Ordinarily, he would've been easy prey, but his predator suddenly stopped. As blood poured from his wound, the demon became dazed and lost their composure. Thanks to that brief moment of confusion, a wandering warrior was able to cleave the demon in half and save his life.

After bringing home the stranger with the intention of repaying their kindness with a hot meal, Colt discovered that the person who saved his life was actually his mother who'd left years ago. Surprisingly, it wasn't a very emotional reunion. Instead of being concerned with each other and how their lives had been after separating, his parents were focused on Colt's brush with death.

According to his mother, the reason for the demon's odd behavior was his blood. Like a strong liquor, it was intoxicating and capable of disrupting a demon's cognitive functions. That quality was enough to save his life, but it didn't mean his blood was a blessing. Marechi were highly sought after, considered a delicacy worth the lives of dozens of humans. Because of this, his mother never stayed in one place for very long, not wanting others to get caught between her and a demon looking for a high quality treat. Unfortunately, Colt inherited her blood and the concerns that came with it.

After discovering what he was, Colt left home and accompanied his mother on her travels. While he didn't want to leave his father alone, it was better than putting him at risk whenever he cut himself in the kitchen. He was forced to abandon his peaceful life and learn swordsmanship until he could protect himself. He had no passion for the blade, but he proved to be a quick study, inheriting his mother's talent along with her blood.

After years of training and slaying demons, Colt became a proficient fighter. Satisfied with his progress, his mother decided to enlist him in the Demon Slayer Corps and continue her solo journey, leaving him behind once again. While he still wasn't interested in following the path of a warrior, he was left with little choice. He made the best of a bad situation and eventually made a name for himself, but he never stopped thinking about his father back home.

Even now, Colt thinks about returning to his peaceful life in the saloon. While he is able to make the occasional visit back home, he eventually wants to be able to abandon the life of a demon slayer permanently and settle down. However, concerns over his blood make that dream difficult to achieve. In order to make it a reality, he's come to a simple conclusion. If demons were no longer a problem, he wouldn't have to worry about his blood. So, the simple thing to do is make sure they're no longer a threat. If that day comes, he'll be able to leave everything behind.

Under the cover of night, the small town of Aurora nestled in the midst of the towering forests and endless plains of the midwest. In this quiet corner, the Ortega family kept a humble flock of sheep, their livelihood and pride. Among them was Daniel Ortega- a young boy with eyes as sharp as the moonlight itself. One fateful evening, as the dark sky loomed over the endless fields of wheat, a demon descended upon the unsuspecting herd. Its malevolent eyes glowed with an unholy fire as it lunged towards its prey. But little did it know, it had crossed paths with a formidable enemy. Unleashing a primal fury, Daniel drew the gray knife his father had gifted him on his last birthday. With a swift and accurate strike, Daniel finally killed the demon by cutting off its head after numerous attempts to find its weak point.

Thanks to his ever-encouraging mom and dad, news of this miraculous incident spread through the town like wildfire, reaching the ears of desperate residents who sought protection for their livestock. As most people assumed the murder of their animals was the work of a rabid wolf, only Daniel was privy to the fact it was something else entirely. It made sense that only he'd have the ability to properly dispatch demons that wandered into their abodes. High off the constant praise and eager to prove himself, Daniel, now hailed a hero, took upon the role as the town's guardian of the night. Night after night, Daniel roamed the dark fields, defending people and livestock from the clutches of darkness.

His swift blade danced through the shadows, dispelling evil one by one. The townspeople cheered as their livestock grazed peacefully, their hero a solemn silhouette protecting their humble existence. And so, Daniel Ortega, once a simple boy, embarked on a path that would shape his destiny. As he continued his heroic feats under the moonlit sky, the legend of the grey knife grew, etching its name in the annals of Aurora forever.

Red (Ferocity) Nichirin

Age:

35

Gender:

Female
Personality:
- (Free-Spirit) Your character is used to doing things their own way and following their own path. They don't like going with the crowd. They prefer to live by their own code. These characters are open to most everything. They like to experiment and have no problem changing to take on new environments and situations. These are the ones who'd more likely ditch and leave a conversation if something more interesting pops up.
- (Physical) Your character experiences the world primarily through physical touch. They like to hold things, hug things, kick things, punch things; anything that lets them connect with life in tangible ways. They are very aware of their bodies and surroundings, but are liable to get irritated if they're not able to move around for too long.
- (Careful) Your character is cautious. These are the type who look before they leap. If there was a dangerous situation where someone needed help, there's a possibility this character might jump in; just don't expect them to be the first. If there's something frightening coming, follow them if you want to live to fight another day.
- (Idealist) This character sees things for how they should be, not what they seem. An idealist is imaginative. They refuse to be stopped by how things are and try to create change needed by shooting for the stars. They are positive thinkers who have faith and trust that most times the goal can be reached -- you just have to try.
- (Extrovert) These characters charge up and refresh by spending time interacting with external life. They lose their pep when spending too much time alone; most specifically during introspection. This character feels better talking to or interacting with other people and things, sometimes with more than one item or person at once. That is good. The more the merrier! They are usually effervescent characters that handle the outside world extremely well.
- (Playful) Your character loves to play games and have fun. Joking around is a must. They may never get to the point...instead sit back and enjoy the view. Who cares if they lose a minute or two? These characters don't. Come on! Lighten up!
- (Experience) Your character is a child of experience. They likely went out and got what they know about a subject by actually doing it. These kinds of people aren't able to explore everything in the world, but from what they have come across, they usually have a very deep understanding of.
- (Detached) Your character is oblivious to love, affection, romance, and all. This can be towards friends or anyone they see as something more. This person would rather give a tissue or direct someone to the bathroom, instead of letting them cry on their shoulder.

Biography:

Born in the enchanting countryside of France, Ana Moreau was destined for an extraordinary life. As a child, she wandered through picturesque landscapes, captivated by the beauty of her homeland. Growing up in a quaint French village, Ana's early years were marked by the simple joys of rural life. She was known for her insatiable curiosity and boundless imagination. The idyllic tranquility of Ana's childhood, however, was destined to be shattered. When she was just a teenager, her family made a life-changing decision to leave France and embark on a perilous journey to America. The promise of new beginnings and the allure of the unknown fueled their aspirations. Leaving behind the familiar landscapes of their homeland, the Moreau family set sail across the Atlantic, their hearts brimming with hope.

Adapting to the sprawling landscapes and bustling cities of America was no small feat, especially for a young girl like Ana. Yet, her indomitable spirit and quick wit served her well. She immersed herself in American culture, rapidly learning the language and customs while preserving the cherished memories of her French heritage. Ana's life took a fateful turn when she stumbled upon a hidden world that would become her obsession and her calling. In the shadows of the American frontier, Ana discovered the existence of demons – nightmarish creatures that thrived in the realms beyond human comprehension. The revelation of her neighbors torn to shreds by monsters, not even human, jolted her from the ordinary life she had built in America.

Determined to confront this supernatural menace head-on, Ana eventually came across an organization known as the Demon Slayer Corps. With a fire burning in her heart, she embarked on a grueling journey of training and self-discovery. Ana honed her combat skills and sharpened her mind under the guidance of seasoned demon slayers, each day bringing her closer to her goal of becoming a formidable protector of humanity. As the years passed, Ana's reputation as a demon slayer of great skill spread far and wide. Her courage and determination were unwavering, earning her the respect and admiration of her comrades within the Demon Slayer Corps. She became a symbol of hope that many budding slayers across the US would look to.

However, Ana's unwavering dedication would lead her down a dark and treacherous path. In a mission fraught with peril, she faced a dilemma that tested her moral compass to its limits. Faced with an insurmountable horde of demons, Ana made a decision that, while effective in achieving the mission's objectives, was deemed by many as morally reprehensible. The consequences of her actions reverberated throughout the Demon Slayer Corps, leading to a heated debate within the organization. The Pinkertons, the enigmatic figures overseeing the corps' operations, condemned Ana's actions as immoral and dangerous. They argued that her willingness to compromise her values for the sake of victory jeopardized the integrity of their mission and the reputation of the demon slayers as a whole.

Biography:

Nuna Wright was born into a quiet, humble family in a small, tight-knit town in the American Southeast. She was always a reserved child, preferring the company of books and the solitude of nature over social gatherings. Her parents noticed her introverted nature from a young age and encouraged her to embrace her independence. As Nuna entered her teenage years, her natural talent for observation and her ability to blend into the shadows became evident. She would often spend hours in the woods, learning to move silently and unnoticed. Her interest in marksmanship began to develop when she found an old hunting rifle in her grandfather's attic. With patience and determination, she taught herself to shoot all sorts of game in the woods with remarkable precision.

At the age of 18 and tired of school, Nuna made the decision to join the military. She enlisted as a sniper, drawn to the role's solitary nature and the opportunity to put her sharpshooting skills to good use. Her years in the military honed her ability to remain hidden, both physically and emotionally. She rarely spoke to her fellow soldiers and found solace in the quiet moments between missions. During a covert mission deep in the wilderness of the Amazon, Nuna and her unit stumbled upon evidence of demon activity. They encountered grotesque creatures that defied explanation, and it became clear that a hidden war had been waged against humanity for centuries. Nuna's keen eyes and precise shooting skills proved invaluable in these encounters, limiting losses and casualties whenever these otherworldly beings were found.

After her military service ended, Nuna was recommended to and sought out by a secret organization known as the Demon Slayers, dedicated to eradicating demons. To the few commanders who knew of their existence, her varied military background and exceptional marksmanship made her an ideal candidate. She joined their ranks, further honing her combat abilities and learning about the demons' weaknesses. As Nuna became more deeply involved with the Demon Slayers, she discovered that some members of the organization relied on drugs to enhance their combat abilities during demon encounters. Remembering her drug-addicted comrades in the military, she strongly disapproved of this practice, believing that humans should rely on their own skills and training rather than artificial substances. She passionately began advocating for the ban of these drugs within the organization.

However, Nuna's outspoken views on banning drugs within the Demon Slayers met with resistance from those who argued that the drugs were a necessary tool in the war against demons. Her insistence on the issue eventually led to her being silenced and reprimanded by higher-ranking members of the organization. She was warned not to pursue the matter further and to focus on her duties as a demon slayer. Suffice it to say, this was a matter closed by the Demon Corps, but not for Nuna Wright herself.

Biography:

Bobby Lugaud's story is one of a free-spirited and extroverted man whose life took a dark turn in the battle against the demons that plagued the world. Born and raised in the picturesque landscapes of rural Pennsylvania, Bobby's early life was filled with laughter, adventure, and the freedom to explore the natural wonders of the region. He had a deep love for the outdoors, often spending his days hiking the wooded trails, camping beneath the starry skies, and immersing himself in the serenity of the Appalachian Mountains. As a young boy, Bobby heard tales of demons and supernatural monsters from his grandparents, who shared stories passed down through generations. His fascination with these legends ignited a spark within him, one that would eventually lead him to a life of demon-slaying. The stories became more than just bedtime tales; they were an irresistible call to adventure and a chance to protect his community from the evils that came in the night.

By the time he reached adulthood, Bobby's determination to become a demon slayer had transformed him into a skilled and fierce warrior. He was loved as soon as he joined the ranks, for he had unbound courage and dedication to the cause. His charismatic and extroverted nature made him a beloved figure, drawing people toward his magnetic personality. For years, Bobby served the Demon Slaying Corps with unwavering loyalty. He battled demons that would have torn apart the inhabitants of numerous towns if not for his bravery and determination. However, the ongoing war against the supernatural beings took a heavy toll on his body and spirit. To keep up with increasingly powerful demons, he was introduced to a potent pill known as "Black Magic," which enhanced a slayer's physical attributes for a limited time. Initially, the effects of the Black Magic were invigorating, and Bobby's prowess as a demon slayer soared to new heights. But like many before him, he soon found himself ensnared by the pill's addictive grip. Its allure was irresistible, its promise of strength impossible to resist.

As the addiction took hold, Bobby's life unraveled. He struggled to maintain his once-stable existence, and the extroverted man who had charmed his fellow slayers became a shadow of his former self, isolated and plagued by his secret vice. The demons he hunted now seemed to be the only companions who understood his plight. In his darkest hour, Bobby turned to the very leaders of the organization that had once hailed him as a rising star in the Demon Slaying Corps, for help in breaking free from his addiction. However, the response he received was far from what he had expected. These same people, not knowing nor caring to mend the life of an addicted slayer, discreetly turned their backs on him, leaving him to battle his demons alone. Now, at the age of 35, Bobby Lugaud is a man torn between the relentless pull of his addiction and his desire to regain the stability and honor he once held dear.
