[Ko Allegra] [Witch – River Dragon] Character Name: Kohaku “Ko” Allegra – AKA Shinrabanshou Age: Unsure (somewhere around 460) Gender: Ambiguous (but effeminate) Type: Witch – River dragon Partnered? No Clothing and description: Ko, despite being ambiguously gendered, is in a single word “beautiful”. Hair the color of the sky overhead at sunset falls in wild tresses about her regal features, sharp eyes the color of molten gold are framed with midnight lashes, skin the color of polished alabaster set on a slim frame with a cat-like grace, and features that declare no nationality but its own mark this stunning beauty. Ko is above the scrutiny of others, knowledgeable in their flawless beauty and willing to share it with other if they only but ask. (In layman’s terms, this means Ko has long violet-red hair, gold eyes, pale skin, and is about 5’ 6” and 120 lbs, with an unknown gender and nationality and a skinny sort of body. It’s also very narcissistic and vain, as dragons tend to be. Oh, yeah, and though Ko wouldn’t admit it, the bloody dragon is fairly well blind – at least, enough to make glasses needed. Near-sighted almost to an extreme.) Dressing in the finest of garb, Ko is consistently covered in cloth of silk and extravagant colors; gold, flame red, royal purple… these are only to name a few. The only weavers talented enough seem to come from the Orient, thus Ko prides in wearing their garb – modestly, of course. The garb does much to accentuate the beauty of its wearer, depicting the royal status this one should have been privy to by birthright alone. When a combat scenario arises, Ko sheds the unneeded layers to better preserve them until the battle is won, bearing little more than commoner’s clothes, though certainly of better quality. (Again, to simplify – Ko dresses in silk clothes from China; think like these porcelain Chinese princess dolls. When Ko decides that combat is to be had, the outfit will lose layers until it looks something like this. The colors are usually red threaded with gold, though the undergarb/combat wear is the same violet shade at his/her hair with gold accents.) When Ko taps into the raw power that is dragon magic, the body actually seems to become more like that regal creature. Pupils and iris’ disappear into a sea of gold, scales of crimson and gold raise up from skin, and the delicate features become something terrifying and ancient in its prime. A serpentine tail tipped in violet-red feathers marks the great master as it truly is, and an image of ink-dark feathered wings appear in the cast shadow of its form. (Strictly speaking, Ko does not turn into a dragon. However, the magic s/he uses alters the body to take on more identifying attributes, like most witches. The tail is real, the wings are an illusion, the scales do not have any additional properties other than looking cool. The tail can strike, but the wings cannot fly, etc. Everything else is self-explanatory, albeit over-worded.) (Throughout the RP, Ko will be labeled as a female, though a true gender is not established.) (As an additional note, Ko’s former appearance was that of a 16 year old girl with short brown hair, pixie-ish features, and secretive green eyes. She is still fair, though not overtly so, and has freckles dusting her nose. She is cute, curvy, and always seems to be listening intently to what people have to say while making wise-cracks. She wore lots of black, comfortable clothing, and tended towards heeled boots more than any other shoes.) History: Ko was born to an as-of-yet unknown set of parents, though it is known that one of them was one of Shinigami’s personal guard. The child was aided by her parent in hiding from Shinigami for many years and running from country to country (due to her being a powerful witch and her parent not wishing for Shinigami to kill her) before simply dropping off the face of the Earth for 400 years. This happened when her protective parent cast a curse to keep the child in dormant sleep and died a short time later. A side effect of this curse gave Ko amnesia, making her forget everything about who and what she was along with any spells she knew. She awoke in a form strange to her as well, but set off to find out more about herself. As a youngling, she met with another witch who offered to train her. Not yet sensing any treachery, Ko agreed. However, it soon became clear that the witch –while indeed training her- was more interested in amusing herself by abusing the girl mentally and physically without relent. Ko became afraid of her, then indifferent, until finally one day she lashed out with a newly regained spell and drowned the abusive witch. She set out once again, jaded and determined to find out more about herself. Upon discovery of Shibusen, Ko immediately infiltrated/enrolled into the school, hoping that she could stay undercover as a student while learning more about her enemies and past. Her Soul Protect ability kept her from discovery, and a few weeks went by with no issue. However, a hitch came about when she was suddenly partnered with Ellis Winchester; a problem student who had difficulty Resonating or even working with any prior partners. Despite her uneasiness about it, Ko accepted the Weapon grudgingly. The two found that their Soul Resonance was almost perfectly in-sync, and Ellis swore to never tell Shinigami or any others of Ko’s secret. For the next two years, the two became close friends, trusted comrades, and –even more amazing to Ko- passionate lovers. There was nothing hidden between the two; they knew everything the other did and didn’t care, save that they were going to achieve the impossible. Over time, Ko began to understand the view of Shibusen, and strove to make Ellis a commendable Death-Scythe. Deep in her heart, however, she feared the day that her weapon and lover would be taken from her, leaving her alone and hunted once more. With the final kishin egg that they were to capture, the beast revealed Ko’s identity as a witch. Since this had already been established between the pair, neither paid any attention. As the fight wore on, the creature told them more and more of Ko’s past – how she senselessly murdered for the sake of her hoarding and her vanity, how she manipulated the hearts of anyone she wanted to control… Ko, remembering this as the beast spoke, began to hesitate, unsure of who she was becoming as she reached discovery. Ellis came to her defense, stating that it wasn’t a person’s past that made them, but their choices of the present. The beast turned on her, reading the girl’s past lives of violence and darkness with gristly detail. With the creature attacking Ellis, Ko became enraged and the two pressed on with a vengeance. Finally, after a grueling battle, the kishin egg was defeated, and the Demon-Weapon devoured it. As they went on their way home, a witch by the name of Lynn Foxx appeared, claiming responsibility for the kishin egg and claiming that it was such a pity they destroyed it. A master of illusions, they could not defeat her, though they became more and more unglued with each comment she made of them. When she struck out that Ellis was a manipulative and self-centered human, Ko lost faith in her weapon and the Resonance began to degenerate. At that moment, Lynn vanished. The team then returned to Shibusen. For three months the relationship steadily fell apart. Soon, the two couldn’t even stand being around each other, constantly bickering or stewing in silent resentment. Finally, the day came for them to hunt down Lynn, and they did so, hoping (despite their dissonance) that they could pay her back for the wrongs she did them. The fight became desperate quickly, and finally Ko couldn’t stand the feel of her partner anymore. She tossed away the weapon and shed her human form, furious with the cowgirl and more than ready to walk with Lynn, as the witch had already shown more camaraderie to her than her apparent “love”. When Ellis objected and claimed to love her, Ko spat in the face of such a farce, saying that “love” didn’t mean the same thing to her as it did to the American child. Sudden rage overtook her at being manipulated this way, and she attacked the rifle, wishing to silence the girl in case she told someone what had happened. The blast of water damaged her, but didn’t kill her, so Ko lashed out with a dagger to stab her ex-partner in the eye (an assured kill). Ellis managed to avoid the blow somewhat, though was damaged by the attack and fled, swearing vengeance as she did. Lynn used some of her illusions to batter the girl, and Ko chased after her, but she ended up escaping. Since then, Ko has not personally seen Ellis, though Lynn’s magic does keep tabs on the student. Ko has become more like her old self, and stays with Lynn (though their relationship is a distant friendship at best). They live on the road mostly, traveling from place to place either when Ko decides whomever is housing them is no longer of use or they discover her secrets and she has to kill them. Currently, she’s seeking a way to destroy the only one who knows her secret, as well as to find her missing parents. Her true goals she keeps secret, but it is likely that the Kishin's Madness is affecting her own, thus drawing her to fulfill her want to find her parents and become a witch to be reckoned with. Personality: As a student at the Academy, Ko seemed a timid sort of person who had many anxieties and secrets... at least, to the teachers. She went out of her way to keep others from worrying about her, putting on a smile and making jokes when she couldn’t fade into the background, but all the while was enjoying the attention. She was constantly searching for her past in seclusion, though she won the hearts of any man who got close to her openly. She kept them at a distance of friendship, though she had a way of speaking that made her seem like something more. With Ellis, she slowly began to relax, and the anxieties that plagued her began to dissipate. She began to have the formings of love with the other girl, and trusted her more than any other (though she did fear the Weapon’s temper something fierce). After leaving, Ko became much her former self; haughty, vain, self-righteous, and condescending. She won hearts and broke them easily, using these petty mortals’ affection to feed her vanity and greed. She would make them fall for her, then take whatever she wanted from them and leave them to suffer. She seems to gain a certain amount of enjoyment from it, though she gains the most from watching Ellis suffer. She equally becomes bored with the plights of humanity, though often rushes in to save the day so that other may worship her. She also stirs up a good amount of this trouble, determined to keep those she has enthralled hanging on her every whim. As a strange twist of fate, Ko is very much a dual-sided person – occasionally, her anxiety will return and get the best of her. She suffers from paranoia, moodiness, mania, depression, and cold rage at the drop of a dime. This is her Madness, and it is unknown whether she despises, fears, or relishes it (she seems to act in favor of all three). Though, most certainly, she is a very dangerous and bad witch, and should be avoided at all costs by Shibusen students. Abilities: Ko is a Witch and a Meister, something that is feared by most sane people in the world. However, she still is trying to remember her past and herself, so she has few of the spells she had before being cursed. That being said, all of her spells are activated with the incantation, “Mizu Ryu, Mizu Ryu”. The spells listed here are ones activated by the incantation. Technique Name: Soul Protect/Release Effects/Description: Like many strong witches, Ko can use the Soul Protect spell to hide her from the prying eyes of Meisters everywhere. Her particular rendition makes her appear as she did in the DWMA; a mischievous Meister who seemed to be keeping secrets. She uses this spell often when in the presence of others and rarely seems to drop the spell. Only other witches seem to be able to see through it (as witches are prone to). When she activates her Soul Protect, she regains the guise that she had while attending Shibusen as well. During her time in Soul Protect, she cannot use any spells (yet). Technique Name: Healing Dew Effects/Description: Stripping water from the air or nearby sources, Ko can make a thin coating of magic water that will slowly heal wounds (1 round for light, 2 for intense, 3 for severe, and 5 for life threatening). She needs to focus on this spell, so she cannot cast any others or fight while performing it, nor can she heal more than one wound per person at once. Currently, her abilities stand at one person, one wound per casting. Technique Name: Water Lance Effects/Description: Drawn from nearby sources and her own magic, Ko can fire a strong blast of water at an enemy directly before her. The pressure and speed is the same as a fire-hose on full-blast, and also covers the same area. The water stings pretty mightily, and if caught in a melee blast most humans will leave with broken bones. The pressure decreases with distance, but is still painful for almost 10yds. After that, the pressure is no longer harmful and merely stings rather than causing real damage. Additional Spells: These spells are minor and ability-related. They do not have to be activated via incantation. Ko has the following abilities with limitations:
Combat Style: Ko fights in a way that would seem completely contradictory – she rushes headlong into the situation, but holds back to see what comes of it. She prefers to fight with magic and heal her comrades than go into the thick of it, but if handed a Demon Weapon she will not hesitate to use it in its most lethal manner. She always follows her emotions in battle; if she is calm she will strategize, scared apply defense, and rage makes for a mean offence. Her preferred weapons are swords, though she has a very strong preference to using Ellis (if not just for the sheer love of tormenting her at this point). Ko is physically weak and has a low pain threshold, though is quick on her feet when she has to be. She is well-balanced, but tends to be arrogant and over-confident in her abilities. She likes to taunt others, demoralizing them or attempting to persuade them to her side. She herself is competent as a fighter, but is not yet strong enough to go toe-to-toe with masters. She is versatile in her style, but she has yet to really master anything. Miscellaneous Information:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Roleplay Sample: It was easy. Just so easy. And so deliciously cruel at the same time. Hearing that pour soul’s agonized wails over and over in her dreams, begging to be released of the nightmares of her memories… it thrilled the creature as much as their closeness previously had. But that was before. Before… The draconic being opened its eyes, pupils and whites absent in a sea of gold. Slowly, they restored and the magical aura faded, leaving Ko sitting delicately on the floor of the mansion, dressed as a regal Chinese princess in red and gold. Glancing around the deserted and blood-soaked halls, the witch stood, shaking out the folds of the garments before walking outside. “Lynn.” The other witch appeared instantly from nowhere, a devious smile on her slightly chubby and freckled cheeks. “Let us leave. It wouldn’t do for us to stay until those children arrive, will it?” A giggle was all the dragon-mage received in response, and if anyone in the mansion were left alive, they would have seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Just to formally respond: We like to give people a chance to spend some time on their existing characters before Imp and I mod a new one. Normally we would've done this for Ellis too, but we thought we'd be generous :3 I'll reply in a fortnight [2 weeks] or so to this once you've had a bit more of a play around with Miru and Ellis Hope you enjoy them!

Sorry about the delay then in my replying @_@ I completely forgot about poor old Ko. Age: Unless there is a crucial reason why this is undisclosed, could you give us a rough figure? (eg: 450 years old) Description: I like the style you did here- very in character but still clear. Is she long-sighted or short-sighted, and does she have particularly bad eyes or just a tad blurry? At times you mention that Ko is ambiguous, but at other times you outright say Ko is female, and/or that their clothes accentuate her more feminine of curves. Could you clarify, or perhaps choose one option or the other? ![]() History: Why did her parents hide her from Shinigami? There is a tonne of motives and I was just wondering what her parents' were :3 It sounds like she had quite the life you have skipped over before her amnesia? Could you also perhaps go into a bit more detail about her current history, goals and the like~? The history mostly ends with Ellis, which seems a shame as this character is a separate character ![]() Personality: Could you go into a tad more detail about her current personality? :3 At the moment you've got some really good details, but I've no idea if she is a 'good witch,' a 'bad witch,' both or neither. What does she do? Save babies from burning buildings or is she the one who sets the fires? Abilities: Soul Protect- Could you please specify if she can use all or any of her spells in this form? ![]() Are these also the sum total of her magic? (eg: Can she fly on a broomstick or use other water-element attacks?) Combat: On a scale of one to ten (one being the worst) how awesome at fighting in Ko? Would she be able to hand Black*Star his arse on a platter or does she have trouble fighting a small child? Overall: I guess the main question on my lips is: Is this a character, or is this a plot for Ellis? That is to say ... Is this a character you are interested in and happy to play with by herself, or does the character exist to eventually be beaten by Ellis? |

All righty! Here we go: ~Ko is actually a very effeminate male originally, though her Shibusen form is female. It's weird, but one can think of her form as a Shibusen student as a separate incarnation that she can access at will. No one really knows if Ko is male or female in his/her true form (hence ambiguity), but because of the effeminate nature and female form accessible, s/he will be called "she" where there is a need for pronouns. ~Since her past is not really known to her, it's not in her profile. However, her witch parent hid her to protect her, and they moved a lot. Mostly around Asia. As for her current goals and such, she's simply gone from Shibusen back to her original goal of finding her parents and becoming more powerful. Ellis is just a source of amusement for her at this point, as she loves watching the torture she's inflicted on the poor girl. ~Definitely a "bad witch". Ko has occasional sparks of sanity and kindness, but there's always a deeper motive. She's out for herself and doesn't care who she has to hurt or manipulate to get her way. ~These are techniques only. She can teleport through flowing water (although frozen water is a current no-no), she cannot drown, and she can pull water from the air (thus she is never thirsty or dehydrated). She can technically cause droughts over time if she stays someplace long enough, but she can also bring monsoons. It depends on her mood and how long she stays someplace. Consciously manipulating weather will come later. ~In combat, Ko ranks about a 6. She couldn't beat up a teacher, but most students are no problem for her. She also knows when to run or call allies, so it's hard to say. One-on-one, fighting her is like trying to capture a cornered wild animal - be careful or get ripped to bits. ~In finale, Ko is technically a plot device for Ellis. However, I want her to grow and mature alongside my Weapon, and (hopefully) there will be a final conflict between them where one will die and the other will survive stronger. Ko is also an NPC for the most part. xP |

Hey there Kallisti ^__^ I'll be concentrating on Ko's abilities because the rest of her profile looks acceptable to me :3 First and foremost however, could you please make sure to include everything that you have mentioned in your edits in the profile itself. - please mention all her extra spells that don't need to be activated specifically – these can be done all in one paragraph, just like where you explained them in your edit ^__^ - how fast can she travel through water (assume this is how fast she will normally be travelling, if there are very special circumstances you can mention them but I am wondering about her average speed) -with soul protect you say she -actually- looks like she did when she was at Shibusen? Is this a transformation power? If so you will have to add transformation powers to her abilities section to formalise it ^__^ -what spells, if any, can she use while under soul protect? -You mention that water lance has only the power of a regular firehose, but at the end you say it is only non-lethal at 10 feet away? Does that mean that she can kill anyone with this within a 10 foot range? If not you may want to think of rewording the last sentence ^__^;; |

All edited. And she cannot use ANY spells under Soul Protect. Only her "Never Thirsty" and "Transformation" abilities are used during Soul Protect.
