Appearance

We breathe. We pulse. We regenerate. Our hearts beat. Our minds create. Our souls ingest. 37 seconds, well used, is a lifetime.

-Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Physical Appearance:
Her hair falls in elegant ringlets, ending between her shoulder blades, while her bangs remain perfectly straight and frame her face. The coloring is a shocking orange, yet muted slightly as if dulled by grey. Her golden eyes shimmer from her freckled face. Her skin pale and yet tinted a creamy yellow. She’s a cute, average figured girl, with round hips and an okay sized bodice. Her fingers aren’t elegantly slender, but they aren’t short and stubby, and thick white nails. She has pearly white teeth, and elongated canines to show her unhidden feline self. Her ears and tail are marked with tabby stripes, showing that if she were in feline form, she would be a tabby cat.

Clothing/Accessories:
She wears casual clothing, screen printed t-shirts, trousers from cargos to jeans, and sneakers. Sometimes, on very rare occasions, she can be seen in a dress or a skirt. Generally the coloration of her clothing varies between gold, brown, green, and blue; she enjoys all the shades of white, grey, and black.


Compliments to my friend SWU for the drawing of my formerly Miuji now turned Akane.

Personality

If you commit a big crime then you are crazy, and the more heinous the crime the crazier you must be. Therefore you are not responsible, and nothing is your fault.

-Peggy Noonan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alignment:
She plays the part of the villain, influenced by insanity, she is otherwise good.

Behavior:
Akane could be described as a tomboy. She enjoys roughhousing with the boys; climbing trees, rolling down hills, playing tag, sword fighting with sticks. Of course as a girl, and when with girls, she can be feminine too. Of course boyish things are her favorite.
She’s a friendly cat, albeit a little shy. She can be very reserved and hesitant when meeting new people, and she isn’t one to be completely trusting on the get go – even if she might pretend that she is. She can be a little cocky, and prideful of herself, but as any cat she’s very emotional and expressive. She can move from being joyful to sorrowful in the blink of an eye, and as such tender emotions are quite raw she can be easily offended and be angered fairly quickly. Not good for one of her condition.
Though she quite loves to cuddle, and hugs are perhaps her most favorite things to receive from friends. She also loves to be scratched behind her ears – but never, ever, try messing up her hair. It would also be wise to point out that she enjoys singing, and is good at it (unlike the stereo-typical cat since she doesn’t yowl).
Akane would be completely normal, if it wasn’t for the violent regressions that she experiences from time to time. The outbursts are completely random; they have no set time, but any one that experiences one of these bursts of aggression could swear that there’s another mind at work. This other side of Akane seems to harbor a lust for blood, and seems to do near anything to acquire it, be that by means of a simple one hit attack, to total maiming of a person. This side is conniving, ruthless; it’s pure animalistic tendencies and pure lust. It’s a body that only has the most primal of thoughts, and yet seems to be capable of intelligent, conscience thought. And yet, with just as little warning as her arrival, this second half ceases to live, allowing the normal Akane to return with no recollection of anything that has happened, though she does admit to hearing voices in her head. And of course if this other half starts a fight and is hit, she will suffer the brunt of it, as the beastly insanity doesn’t seem capable of feeling fear or pain.

But, she is not without a hobby. For she enjoys several things. Singing is among the top of the list, she also enjoys cooking (and is quite adequate with it). But along this is a silly little dream, the dream of someday becoming a merchant.

Weapons

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

-Edgar Allan Poe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name:
Melee

Description:
Its rather more like a fighting style than a weapon, but anything that was not a part of Akane’s body at birth is not bothered with. She does not carry weapons on her person. There are no swords, nor knives or a bow – not even a quiver for arrows. Instead she prefers to use the claw-like finger nails that she was born with, and her sharp, carnivore favoring teeth. They have thus far proven to be quite effect, why stop now?

Abilities

Insanity - a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.

-R. D. Laing

AP

Crouch:
A relatively useless ability that slightly ups the defense of the user only while he or she is crouched down. The user will crouch down and cover his or her head – essentially a duck and cover technique. It is largely ineffective against both physical and ethereal attacks, but does deviate at least two or three damage points.

Strength: Weak
Uses: To protect the user from damage – but not very well. This ability can be used ten times in battle, and is limitless when outside of battle.

Silhouette:
Silhouette is the control over her own and other shadows to do her bidding. Mostly this means the temporary blinding of an opponent or can also be used as a hiding technique. Since she can manipulate her shadow, and the shadows of inanimate objects she can make herself completely hidden from sight by hiding the shadow that could be cast upon the ground.

Strength: Weak
Uses: A mode of spying or scouting. The shadows that one cast upon the ground cannot actually harm a person, nor can a person be controlled by their shadow. If it is used for blinding, then the shadow merely cross upon the person’s face and covers their eyes, this is easily remedied by a little light. This ability can be used five times in battle, limitless outside of the fight.

Beast:
It’s sort of like a second form for her. This is when the Darkness in her body manifests itself around her body. It seems to trap her in it, and she seems to drift, though she still makes movement motions and moves on all fours. This state can only be reached when she’s in a moment of insanity, and can be quite deadly and costly to both the user and its opponent. This is not without its drawbacks, for though it adds to her strength, it takes away from her mind and strategy, her brain loses the ability to send signals of pain, and thus her possibility of death becomes much higher. Yet, at the same time, she can cause mass physical damage to anyone who might try to stand in her way (mind you that this ability would be the easiest one to dodge seeing as its just thrashing around blindly until blood is spilled and her hunger is sated).

Strength: Strong
Uses: To cause pure, violent harm to whomever her unfortunate opponent might be. This is something of pure insanity, it can be easily stopped. This ability can only be used once, for a total of ten posts before the power is exhausted and the body collapses into its own defeat – not quite death, but certainly incapacitation. This ability cannot be used outside of battle, as it is initiated by a life threatening situation.

History

When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? He's written "He dies." That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is "He dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He dies." And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words "He dies." but because of the life we saw prior to the words.

-Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is difficult to tell from birth, if a person has a problem hidden in their mind. In fact in most cases of clinical insanity, no matter what shape it takes, it does not develop until the child can perform cognoscente thoughts. For Akane it was the same case. For many years she grew up like a regular child. She was born like any other baby, from the womb of her mother. Unfortunately her mother did not survive the birthing, there was nothing anyone could really do, and seeing as the technology and medicine wasn’t quite up to modern day standards. It was a sad and yet joyous day, and Miu’s dad and brother were still glad to have the little girl in their lives.

For quite a few years Akane grew up like a normal child. She went to school, visited the various sites around town like the Inn and the Tavern where her friend, Rachel, used to work – and it helped that there was a handsome older boy that would often prowl around, he was bitter and mean, but cute. It wasn’t until she turned ten that things started to change. Strange voices calling from the shadows, talking to her, telling her to open some strange door, they told her to use the powers of the Darkness.
It wasn’t as though she would tell anyone about them, hearing voices is never a good thing. But instead she listened to them. Began to experiment, and she found that with a little coaxing she could manipulate the shadows on the ground, one’s of her table, a chair, even her own. However when she tried to manipulate another’s shadow she couldn’t do it. But that was fine; she had an abundance of silhouettes at her disposal. Slowly the voices became louder and it grew more difficult to hide them. When her father realized he immediately took her to the doctor. He thought there was an evil spirit in Akane. They proceeded to the Church of Mana for an exorcism. Naturally nothing happened.
By now she’s twelve, and coping with having these strange voice and it wasn’t until age sixteen, when her friend Rachel cut her hand open that her animal instincts kicked in. She smelled the blood, and her golden eyes seemed to light up, her normally round pupils shifted to slits and she stared at the blood for a few seconds before attacking, and ending in Rachel’s death. When Akane’s mind returned she was horrified with herself. Her best friend’s blood was on her face and her hands – and she wasn’t sure but she thought she might’ve eaten a bit of her. She rushed home and washed the blood off; and once out of the shower she hurriedly packed her clothing and slipped off into the forest.

There were search parties, no one knew she’d been the one to kill Rachel; Elazul (the boy who frequented the Tavern) was blamed and driven out of the town. But no one could find Akane who was living deep in the forest.
While she was here, she found a strange tree. It had a door on it. The voices were loud here, she tended to stay away, but when she was finally nineteen she couldn’t help but approach it and press her palm to it. She’d been curious, and now she’d been able to survive quite healthily. Her insanity appeared mostly when she was ravishingly hungry, and it had done well in keeping her alive. It was time to open the door and let in the whispers of Darkness. And she did.
It was that day that her world was engulfed, and that day that she walked through the door and found the world of Traverse Town. She’d caused the demise of Diel and her friend Rachel. She is forever haunted by the events, but somehow pushes onward.
