Don't think this is merely a game...your life is on the line.

:|Character Information|:. Name: Shingetsu, Nanayo Age: 18 Dorm: Osiris Red Grade/Year: 2nd Gender: Female Race: Japanese Height: 188 cm Weight: 68.1 kg Eye Color: Blue/Green Hair Color: Black w/ crimson highlights Defining Characteristics: Eyes that change hue from Sapphire Blue to Emerald Green as her level of agitation increases, calve-length hair black as midnight with streaks of crimson that seem to dance like embers among smoke and ash, quite tall, well-developed legs, other things that will probably come to light later... Appearance: Nanayo wears her ebony hair loose, letting it flow down her back like a fine curtain. Her bangs, parted away from her face, are cut to just slightly above the bottom of her breasts. Emerald-studded earrings adorn her ears, visible only in short windows as her hair sways gently this way and that. Her piercing blue eyes gaze into the distance, as if considering the workings of the entire world and beyond. Her years of martial arts show in her deeply tanned and highly toned physique, yet she still maintains a beautifully feminine shape. Her breasts, though quite large, are perfectly proportioned to the rest of her body. Her long legs are her most prominent feature aside from her hair and eyes; incredibly strong but soft and curvy in all the right places. Commonly worn attire consists of a pair of close-fitting black jeans, a black sleeveless t-shirt cut just above her navel, a short sleeved red blazer similar to that of the standard Osiris uniform, fingerless black and red gloves that resemble arm guards, and knee-high narrow-toed black leather boots. An emerald pendant, which forms a matching set along with her earrings, dangles from her neck on a thin gold chain and rests comfortably against her chest. Known Relatives: Ichigo (Father), Kaname (Mother) Biography: Born the daughter of a prominent yakuza Oyabun, one would think that Nanayo would live a life of luxury…and they’d be right. Her father, despite having questionable moral values, was a loving parent who provided every luxury one could ask for. Her mother, a beauty that few could hope to compare to, spent her time teaching their daughter proper etiquette, how to cook and a popular card game called Duel Monsters. Sadly, she was killed when Nanayo was only four and a half during an attempt on her father’s life that was later revealed to have been orchestrated by several high-ranking politicians. Nanayo, overcome with grief and self-loathing at being unable to protect her mother, vowed that she would have vengeance against those that had so cruelly torn her family asunder. On her fifth birthday, she began to teach herself the basics of martial arts and self-defense while simultaneously throwing herself into her studies. From her first waking moment until she went to bed each day, she could be found either in the yard of her family estate clumsily working through the motions of various techniques, or in her room at her desk hunched over piles of books and notes. Though concerned for the well-being of his daughter, her father left her to her self-assigned tasks stepping in only if her safety had the potential to be compromised. Soon after, several instructors were hired to refine her training. Proving to be a quick study, she rapidly advanced in terms of strength and skill. In no time at all, she became well versed in several dozen different martial arts including Karate, Kickboxing, Jeet Kun Do, and Tai Chi Quan (there are rumors that she’s also currently studying an unknown variety of Ninjutsu, but she claims her current goal is to master Capoeira). She’s also became quite proficient with a variety of different weapons such as the Katana, Naginata, Nodachi, Bow, and modern firearms. In addition, her father enlisted the aid of numerous world-renowned tutors to aid in her studies. Displaying incredible talent in all subjects except history, she showed a particular interest in both Chemistry and Physics. She even managed to devise formulas for several new types of explosive and incendiary compounds…a fact that was quite unnerving to those that spent any extended periods of time with her, the sole exception being her father. Soon after turning fourteen, she began to display a curiosity for the various workings of economics and finance. Sitting in on some of her father’s “business meetings”, her thoughts began to linger on how she herself could make money. Granted…there was little need for it, as her position provided her with more than she would ever need. However, she wasn’t too keen on the idea of just sitting back and letting her life pass her by either. With a bit of initial financial backing from her dad, she invested in the nearby community. Renovating a local abandoned restaurant, she promptly turned it into a thriving money-making machine and quickly became known for her exquisite culinary skills. In short order, she had paid back the money she had borrowed from her father plus substantial interest (despite his objections). Years came and went and the small girl matured into a strong young woman.. On the eve of her seventeenth birthday, as if predetermined by Fate, news reached her that a party was to be held that night for some of the regions social elite…among those attending were the politicians that had taken her mother from her. Blinding rage, sealed off within her for more than a decade, flared up within her like a dormant volcano that had suddenly awoken from it’s slumber. A murderous intent flashed in her eyes, while a vicious smile parted her lips…one couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present. As the sun set on the day, spotlights and fireworks lit up the night sky above a lavish mansion on the outskirts of the city. CEOs…their husbands and wives…top-ranking military officials…even foreign ambassadors and the like lounged about on the rear terrace, gorging themselves on fine cuisine and expensive liquor. It was quite a scene really…especially when the right wing of the mansion suddenly became engulfed in a raging firestorm. Panic, chaos and discord ensued as the attendees scrambled for the nearest exit. Women, children, and the elderly escaped safely, but several members of the security team and a group seated near the back wouldn’t be so lucky. As they tried to follow the others out of the area, their escape was cut short as a pillar of fire erupted from the ground stopping them in their tracks. As they attempted to backtrack, the bloodcurdling sound of someone screaming in pain made them turn around in horror. A young woman stood before them, clad in a skintight black bodysuit with a deep crimson scarf concealing the majority of her face. In one hand she held a katana, dripping with the blood of their fallen comrade. In the other…lay his head, dangling by the hair she gripped tightly and cleanly detached from it’s proper place atop the mans neck. Tossing it aside like so much trash, the young woman lunged forward, embers from the nearby flames dancing along the edge of her blade. The guards grabbed at their weapons, but were cut down in an instant. The remnants of the group scattered like roaches, crying out in terror…but one by one they all shared the fate of their comrade. A single man, a short middle-aged man with a horrible toupee, remained. As he sat on the ground, clutching himself tight as tears welled up in his eyes, he couldn’t help but beg for his life as his executioner ended his life with little more than a flick of her wrist. As the last of his life’s blood drained from his body, the young assassin finally spoke. “This is retribution. Retribution for stealing my family away from me…” Turning on her heels, she quickly fled the scene. The next morning, when the paper arrived at her doorstep, she couldn’t help but smile as she perused the front page, which was filled with photos and “eyewitness accounts” of a massacre that happened at a mansion of a wealthy foreign business man. According to the investigation, one of the attendees. a well-known political figurehead had apparently drank a bit too much and went totally out of his mind, setting fire to a portion of the mansion and the surroundings before killing several others then committing suicide. The weapon of choice, a katana that had been hanging above the entrance, was found nearby. Heading back inside, he was greeted with a warm hug by her father, who had been busy making preparations for her birthday celebration. After enjoying the day thoroughly, she retired to her room. As she sat down on her bed, she opened her drawer. Producing a small wooden box, she opened the lid and looked over the contents. She couldn’t hold back the tears as her eyes fell upon the old photo of her mother, carefully maintained as the last true piece of memorabilia of a much happier time. Nanayo couldn’t help but wonder what would have changed, were her mother have still been alive today. After gazing at the picture for a time, she closed the lid on the box and prepared to return it to it‘s resting place. It was then that a card, apparently stuck to the bottom of the box, fell to the floor face-down. Bending down, she picked up the card and studied it for a brief moment. It was a well-worn old thing really…a mechanical-looking dragon with a cannon barrel for a snout. The text had all but worn away, but one could still tell that the card was, in fact, Blowback Dragon…the card had been a favorite of her mother’s for some silly reason that she couldn’t quite remember. The call of a family friend reminded her that they had yet to present the cake. Walking down the hall into the main reception area, she overheard a couple discussing how they had been planning to send their son to the prestigious ‘Cloud Ridge Academy’, but a freak accident burned the school to the ground. Several new schools were beginning to be born from the ashes of the fallen academy, and one name in particular caught her attention. “Crimson Wind Academy?” Nanayo pressed the two for more information. Apparently construction of the school had only recently been completed, and as such there was a need for new students and faculty. The idea sounded promising…a fresh start, and an opportunity to stake a claim in a new territory. It was a chance that Nanayo simply couldn’t pass up. The next day, she set out for the application center. During the written portion of the exam, she grew bored after the first question, and ended up leaving the majority of the answer sheet blank. However, during the practical dueling portion of the exam, she tore through the proctor as if he was nothing more than a beginner. …Which is probably why she was more than a little irked when it was announced that she would be joining the ranks of the Osiris. Resisting the urge to kick ‘Wade’s’ teeth down his throat, she returned home fuming. Reflecting upon things, however, she realized that it was her own fault for not taking the time to do the written portion. Still…who the hell did that proctor think he was, acting so arrogant when he couldn’t duel his way out of a paper bag!? Shrugging off her aggravation, Nanayo packed up her things and set off for the academy. Upon her arrival, things weren’t quite what she had expected. The faculty was still scrambling to get things set up, and the students were wandering about trying to find some sort of direction. It wasn’t exactly what one would consider an ideal learning environment…but it WOULD be the perfect time to set the ground work for a home away from home. For the entirety of her first year, Nanayo set to work carving her mark into the academy. Through her connections, she started by augmenting the selection of cards available at the local card shops and soon even the rarest cards started to be supplied in abundance in exchange for a portion of the daily profits. Later on, she helped fund and oversee the construction of several buildings and establishments on the island, including the academy restaurant and the main library. In exchange for her generosity, a majority of the school administration tends to look the other way in regards to her actions. She’s also been granted permission to make use of special living arrangements during her stay on the island. CURRENT DAY Remaining a member of the Osiris dorm, Nanayo enjoys breaking down overconfident newcomers and upperclassmen. Exhibiting an aura of confidence to the point of being borderline arrogant, her sharp tongue and the inherent hint of sarcasm in her speech tend to aggravate those that are unfamiliar with her. Since arriving on the island, she’s developed a steady level of self-control, yet glimpses of her violent temper still seep through from time to time. Wanting to refine the deck that her mother had used long ago, she decided to attempt to bypass the 'luck' factor to learning to manipulate coin flips. Using her knowledge of Physics, coupled with large amounts of practice, she eventually became able to predetermine the outcome of flips without the need for cheap trickery such as rigged coins or magnets. The result was a deck that quickly tore through competition like a scythe through fresh wheat. Finding that the deck was a bit too much for her competition, she instead opts for other tactics at the moment. Currently she's been tinkering with the newest monster type, Synchros, and enjoying a solid level of success with them. Contact Information: I’ll never tell…=P Fun Fact: Ryvern's actually female! Oh, and I'm currently WAY overtired as I type this...so if it sounds slightly incoherent, then...whatever. XD Edited by Demitri Reyveirnacus, Jun 23 2008, 01:15 PM.
