NAME: Kusari Jäger
SPECIES: Ogre (Blue)
TRAITS -
>>COLOR SPECTRUM: Blue Ogres are generally more cunning and rely on their wits, they begin with a bonus technique slot that can only be used to create a Variant of an offensive technique or to Upgrade or create a new Support technique. Your chosen color also determines your transformation path, regardless of choice Ogre's can also pick up their first Assist Signature for one less technique slot than normal.
>>AFTERLIFE ACCLIMATION: Ogres, being a naturally occurring part of the Afterlife, know the ins and outs of the realm fairly well. Ogres can travel between Hell and Heaven freely, and purchase non-LTO items exclusive to the Afterlife even when in the living realms.
>>TWO-WAY TAXI: Because Ogres begin in Otherworld they lack the means to participate in a lot of other activities in the living world. They do, however, have the ability to travel between the two worlds instantly, though this ability takes a full month to recharge. This only works if the user is alive. Ogres may also travel freely between Heaven and Hell as they please while in the Otherworld, with no need to post in the Travel Log for it. They can also only travel alone with it. Use it wisely.
>>GHOST BUSTER: Ogres and Ghosts have been natural enemies since the dawn of time. As such, Ogres have developed tricks to catch the wily spirits. A ghost can never hide their Power Level from an Ogre, no matter what technique is used. In addition to this Ogres receive a +x1 to Offensive Power when they are fighting a Ghost or a force that has a Ghost on its side.
AGE: Twenty-Two
GENDER: Female
STARTING PLANET: Earth
APPEARANCE: Standing at a modest 5' 6", Kusari is a mostly plain Ogre in the way of looks. Muscled, blue skin, and a pair of pointy front-facing horns atop her head - the only curious things about her are the stark white coloration to her hair and yellow eye tint. Some say that her abnormalities are a result of her family's bloodline, which once mingled with Demons in secret. She can most often be found in a simple set of plain black & white clothing in the form of a tank top and shorts, never known to be one for the dramatic on most occasions.
BACKGROUND: Legacy and expectations can take a toll on one's body and soul in more ways than you'd think. Kusari was the third child and first girl born to the modestly well-known Jager family line of Ogres. Their ancestors were revered as the most skilled and consistent Ghost Hunters that the afterlife had ever laid eyes upon, and while this prestige has slightly faded to just being supremely skilled hunters instead of 'the best', reputation remains. All three children were expected to someday follow in the footsteps of their family and become hunters themselves, yet only one - generally the oldest male child - would receive the sacred artifacts of the Jager family. These pieces were not just powerful tools but also symbols of power and status. Kusari, born the youngest and a female, knew she would never likely have the chance to don or use any of it.
Yet still, the role of hunter was forced upon her. And no matter how hard she trained, how much effort and blood was poured into it, Kusari would always hear of how talented and amazing her eldest brother was. How glad people were that he was to be the one to inherit the Jager artifacts. That HE could be the one to set a title as the 'greatest ghost hunter' just as his ancestor did before him. She grew resentful at her kin. Not just for ignoring her own hard work, but for the way almost everything operated in Otherworld. Meritocracy was a laughable concept, evil in life was not punished in Hell, and the so-called Gods that were supposed to curate the mortal realms did nothing as it burned and bled. All they did was laze about and order the Ogres - a species born solely for servitude - to fulfill the most basic duties that the Shinjin should be doing themselves. What if Kusari didn't WANT to work for Otherworld? To befriend only other Ogres? What if she wanted to actually explore life and what it could offer?
'Too bad', she had been told. It was her role in the cosmic scheme of things to be an Ogre. A servant, confined to this realm with no true freedom. Otherworld was corrupt, and Kusari couldn't bear to stand it any longer. She may not have a chance in the wind to seriously topple or re-organize the bureaucracy of an entire dimension... but that didn't mean she couldn't cause issues for them. One day, shortly after her twenty-second birthday (a small, unglamorous affair), Kusari did the unthinkable. Jager artifacts were not locked up, not watched by security. It was almost incomprehensible that any member of the family or another Ogre would even think about touching or taking what wasn't theirs. Kusari took it all, out of a mix of spite for her brother and to hinder the work her family could do in the field of ghost hunting. Her rebellion would be small, but she was determined to make it a thorn that Otherworld couldn't ignore. After her theft, Kusari fled to Earth in search of allies and a resting place to hide from the squadrons of authorities that would inevitably try to track her down...
TRANSFORMATIONS -
Fiery Spirit [x2/x3T] | Starter: A fiery blue aura springs to life, empowering Kusari.
Resolute [x2/x4P] | 70,000 PL: A mastery over her previous power-up that makes the aura a bit calmer.
Ongyo-Ki [x16/x18P] 125,000 PL: A form of myth that is taken upon by the wielder of the Jager sword and armor once the magics within the artifacts fully accept their host. Supposedly grants an immense amount of power...
TECHNIQUES -
Soul Search [UT]: Ogres are naturally attuned to the feeling of souls and their energy, and Kusari is no different. With this innate skill, she can sense the energy and location of living beings! Androids, due to their mechanical nature, and some Alien species are not detectable like this.
Feather Step [SIG]: With a burst of speed relying on raw instinct, Kusari can detect and evade oncoming attacks at or under 50% of her PL twice per thread.
Vanish [SU1]: Expelling a chunk of energy to form a cloud of haze, Kusari dodges an enemy's offensive technique at or under 100% of her PL for 1 KP.
(8k Slot) Magic Materialization [UT1]: As all Ogres are naturally gifted with a knack for magic, Kusari has honed hers to the point where she can manipulate magical energy into temporary objects, ranging from simple things like pencils or rocks to larger and more complex constructs such as weapons. The larger and more complex something is, the harder it is to form it and keep it formed for long periods of time.
(16k Slot) Soul Obfuscation [UT]: Kusari is capable of suppressing her own energy signature, masking her true strength from sensing and scouter alike. Using a technique will break this illusion.
INVENTORY -
Soulflare Katana: A Jager artifact in the form of a blue-bladed black grip sword. Drained of power, this incredibly weakened weapon still contains traces of magic within. Once per thread, Kusari can tap into this reserve to boost her offensive power by +x1, but suffer a -x1 to defensive strength the following turn. (Blood Ruby)
Umbra Armor: A Jager artifact in the form of enchanted, weaved light armor. Drained of power, this weakened set of mythical armor still has enough juice in it to provide a once-per-thread +x1 defensive modifier on attacks greater than the wearer's Power Level. (Battle Armor)
Oni's Glare: A Jager artifact in the form of a terrifying mask. This piece survived the trip from Otherworld and has all its' power fully intact. It is capable of detecting the Power Level and location of ALL beings, regardless if they are organic or not. Kusari can further examine someone by not spending KP, focusing the lens of the mask to read a target's 'Kili' and see their full potential - this takes the form of what their PL would be if they used their strongest transformation. Focusing like this also pierces the veil of suppression or intimidation manipulation. (Kili Meter)
Hunter's Ring: A Jager artifact gifted to the family for their excellent services as Ghost Hunters. It is a weakened version of the Shinjin's very own time rings, this one in particular capable of warping the user's own local space-time to nullify travel times between planets. This only works if they travel alone, however, as the magic is safeguarded to prevent abuse. (Minor Time Ring)
Ripple: A phenomenon provided by the Hunter's Ring that opens a small, one-person portal to another planet, allowing the user to traverse the stars. If for whatever reason the full power of the Hunter's Ring isn't exercised, the portal will take twelve hours to complete a trip. Only usable for Kusari. (Spacepod)
