*le double post*
I am now up-to-date on the submitted profiles. If you check the accepted characters list and see your character there, obviously I have no fault with it and you're good to go. If not, there is something I'd like you to fix about your profile. As for what those things are...
@ Juicesir - Do you want to have any sort of special power? Because right now, you don't. You've listed some talents which could be considered normal, but if you want something that is not normal, you might want to edit. If you're fine with lacking such powers, then let me know and I'll add your character to the list of accepted ones.
@ Kitten - Invisibility is too good without some sort of limitation on it. Add a limit--a time limit or a speed limit--or change it to something less complete than pure invisibility. For instance, chameleon. You don't disappear with chameleon. Instead, you just blend in. You can be spotted, but not unless someone is paying close attention.
@ TheNinjai - I'm just a little hesitant about those four powers. Having three combat-applicable abilities like that makes me a little wary. I'd feel more comfortable if you dropped one of them. If you really want to keep all of them, though, I'll go ahead and accept your character. Just don't abuse them.

How long do I have to make a character until you get the IC up? And is there a role you'd want me to do? I'm not in the mood for a huge amount of responsibility so not sure Shogun is a good idea for me. I'd rather do something more like an assassin or bounty hunter, mixed with a bit of Kenshin personality.
I had a samurai character that had a defensive based fighting style. He'd wait for someone to strike, then make a defensive move to knock them off balance and strike with great precision and speed. So, if there isn't much time left, I can convert him if you think a character of that style would benefit your role play. His history is stereotypical for my characters. Sick wife, he's motivated to find a cure, blah blah blah. I'm a drama slob sometimes.

@ Twisted - Make whatever you think would be most fun for you. An assassin would be fine. I'll be making a bounty hunter, and you can make one if you wish to, as well. Up to you. I'm not sure how much time you have before I put up the IC topic. I still need to post my characters, after all. So if you get yours posted before I post mine, you're fine. Plus, I'll be waiting until people have fixed their profiles as necessary before I put up the IC topic, anyway.

How's this?
Katorai Ryu First Name: Ryu Last Name: Katorai Gender: Male Age: 34 Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual, he’s married to a woman. Alignment: Neutral/Good Occupation: Bounty Hunter/Bodyguard/Street Sweep (He's a man for hire, but will not kill unless ABSOLUTELY required. So he makes a good bounty hunter to return people alive, and a good bodyguard in assuring the enemies are so disabled they cannot pursue.) Side: Neutral, he’ll do what he needs to get what he wants. Appearance: He’s tall and has a fair amount of muscle to his build, due to training, also due to other factors his body shows little damage from the years of battle. He is around 6 feet tall, and nearly 200lbs. His face is of a stern looking man, his mind set right his goals clear. He usually wears a rough ‘I haven’t shaved in a day’ facial hair style. The hair on his head is dark brown, and shoulder length, usually back in a high ponytail lifting his hair up and off of his body out of the way. He wears typical samurai robes. They are a dusty brown/tan color. Underneath the sleeves he wears light metal bracers that go from his wrist to his elbow as a form of defense. His shoes are typical straw sandals with tabi socks. Personality: Ryu is a very kind man, honorable and just. He bases his actions and words off of what he believes to be right and fair. He has never killed a man in his life, and he has lost a few fights due to this. He doesn’t believe in killing, he feels that death is not for him to deal. He only stops those of which wish to stop him. But he does it in the fairest way possible. Defeating them in a non lethal way, and letting them think about what they are doing, and hopefully stop it. The only time he would consider killing, is if he can find it 100% just and right. He talks to those who talk to him, he is in no way viewed as rude. He has a very deep love for his wife Rika Katorai, and he will do almost anything for her. History: Ryu grew up in a humble family, raised by his kindhearted mother, and his strict yet caring father. He had a normal childhood, although, his mother and father decided to teach him from home. His mother taught him all his needed things which he would have learned in school, and his father taught him how to defend himself. As Ryu grew older, he slowly became closer to his father, while his mother watched her son grow. Ryu had learned his fathers fighting style and was now equal to the level of a green sash. He was now around 15 years old, and still training hard with his father, and grandfather who had taken to helping with his training, starting to teach him the arts of fighting with a reverse-blade sword. Around the age of twenty he met a girl named Rika, and they soon developed feelings for each other. All the while Ryu continued his training. Everyday after his training, he would go to see his love Rika and they would walk together and talk about their future as a couple. They were falling in love more with every passing day, every walk under the sakura blossoms in spring. Ryu was also growing in skill of battle with every passing day. Time went on and Ryu and Rika decided to wed. Both Ryu’s and Rika’s family’s agreed to the wedding, due to both family’s long running friendship. By the time Ryu had wed his true love, he was a black sash of his grandfathers fighting style, and only his father and grandfather surpassed him in skill. At this time Ryu was 25, and he continued to train with his father and grandfather. 5 years later, after more training with his father and grandfather. Ryu and his love, moved to a small home in Edo. Sadly Rika had fallen ill, and Ryu has been searching to find a cure for her illness. She was not in immediate danger of dying, but the sickness had made her weak, and in pain. Ryu has not given up on finding her cure, and he asks and learns as much about it as he can. One day he returned home to find his front door open, and the entrance room was a mess. He quickly ran into his wife’s room to see a man standing by her bed. The man was looking down at Rika with an evil glare. She was in tears and clearly distraught. Ryu connected the dots in his mind, and he knew that the man had raped his wife. Ryu went into a silent rage, and used his reverse-blade sword to strike the man in the back of the neck. The man fell to the floor. Ryu thought he had killed the man, but in reality he had broken his spine, causing the man to be paralyzed. Ryu got the authorities and the man was taken away to be treated (He would never move again, just live with the thoughts of the crime he had did.). After that, Ryu has never left his wife home alone if he is to leave the city, he always pays (a small amount to a good friend) to have his wife protected while he leaves. He still continues to search for his wife’s cure, so they may one day walk together again under the spring sakura blossoms. Weapon(s): A reverse-blade sword. A katana that has the cutting edge on the inwardly curved side of the sword, thus being nearly incapable of killing. It was given to him by his father at the age of 20. It is a symbol of his kind nature, and fighting style, being that it is not a killing blade. The overall Katana length is 4 feet, with the blade being 3-feet, and the haft (handle) being 1-foot. It is a well made sword, and is crafted to be medium weight, so the attacks are fast, yet effect. The blade is black for all but the sharpened part on the back side, it shines bright silver. The handle is made of a red-ish looking wood (possibly cherry?), treated to be very strong. It is wrapped in a black leather. The guard of the blade is silver as well, and prevents blades from coming down and cutting Ryu’s hands. On his back, he carries with him a large suburitō, a heavy wooden training sword normally used solely for solo training due to its ability to be lethal if improperly used against an opponent. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/Suburito2007a.jpg/800px-Suburito2007a.jpgIt is 5 feet in length, one foot handle and 4 foot “blade” area. It weighs around 4lbs. Power(s): He has extremely fast reflexes and speed. “Inhuman” is how most describe his movements. It is not however how fast he runs or walks, but in the short burst movements he uses, such as sword strikes, hand movements, or dodges; his feet are normally planted while doing these extreme movements. Very rarely does he use this ability to advance in any direction, as it throws off his balance, and balance is what his belief is. He can sense the “chi” of any living creature within 10 feet of himself. His sense are so attuned that he can know where they are without seeing them at all. It gives him a scene to follow in his mind where the chi glows like an aura around the being. This allows him to fight even if blinded. He has the ability to focus his own chi into his strikes -be it hand to hand or sword- and negatively effect the chi flow of an opponents “chi points” by striking particular locations on the body. If he successfully lands a strike, the flow to that part of the body will be halted or slowed, and reduce the ability to effectively use that area of the body. Slowing reaction time, movement, etc. Weaknesses: He will not kill a human. (only if absolutely forced to do so. Such as protecting a loved one.). He is afraid of losing his loved one Rika Katorai (wife). He is afraid of babies. They make him nervous. Likes: Spicy Foods, Training, Trees/Grass/Nature in general, Painting/Sketching, Reading. Dislikes: Babies, Cats, Chocolate, Dishonest People, Rapists. Other Information: He normally doesn’t use his suburito unless he is facing a “normal” opponent. With this weapon, his speed is somewhat slower than with his ‘real’ katana, so he believes it makes it a “fair fight.” When fighting a skilled opponent, he will sometimes remove the suburito before the battle in an effort to reduce his own weight and increase his inhuman speed even more. Fighting styles: Martial Art Stances and Style: Stern stone: A fighting stance that requires almost no movement of the feet. Only quick upper body moves. This stance is used with his sword fighting to place more power and speed based attacks on his opponent. Since the core of his body is still, he can focus power into his strike. Dancing crane: A small series of foot work moves. Mostly used as a dodging method for coming out of the stern stone stance. It can consist of a few light hops, to graceful balance based kicks. He uses this to help dodge attacks and use their exerted power to overcome them. Cast stone: A simple technique where Ryu can use his focus to shift to his lower body, allowing him to make a quick leap away and out of his stern stone stance. He uses this to dodge, and sometimes make a rare leaping forwards strike. Hand-to-hand: A style very similar to Hwa Rang Do. It was taught to him by his father, and grandfather. It is one of the Styles that the nowadays Hwa Rang Do was based off of. It contains many moves, but not many kicks. The style focuses on keeping a center to your body, and having perfect balance. You are trained to block attacks with your hands, then counter strike with a throw, pressure point jab, or a grapple. The only time kicks are implemented are when the user can assure his balance will be kept. All attacks are intended to do the most effective thing, without wasting much force. It is focused on using the attackers force against them, and to disarm, or disable them. It is almost always used as a defensive technique, that is never the first to strike. He is a Pal Dan: Eighth Degree Black Sash. A master of the style. Only his father and grandfather surpass him. Notable techniques: Reverse Slash: Quick horizontal strike to the neck, ribs, or arm. Reverse Strike: Quick vertical strike to the collarbone, shoulder, neck, or skull. Roll off strike: It is an attack where Ryu spins his body one time in a counterclockwise circle, then as he comes out of the spin, he uses his blade to strike the weakest and most open part of his enemy’s body. The momentum of the spin, and the force of the swing, give the attack a very fast and powerful blow. It is a very fast and powerful attack. It often targets a pressure point or joint. Ryu does not move from the spot he starts the attack. It is simply a 360 spin and strike, but it has much force and speed behind it. Enough to break multiple bones. Ankle Breaker: Ryu spins his body fast one time in a circle, then drops down to a lower attack angle and strikes a reverse blade strike at the ankle of the enemy, aiming to break it and hinder their movement. Leg Sweep Strike: While in the stern stone stance, Ryu moves one leg to quickly sweep the enemy's feet out from under them, sending them to their back, where he then attempts to strike at their throat, just enough to stop their breathing for them to pass out. Never enough to kill.
The history is meh, and I really hate writing it. I wrote it a long time ago, so, I hope you'll understand the lack of quality for it. I edited him to fit the template you had and changed several things.

Phew. Histories are as annoying as usual. Let me know if anything needs changing. Still debating on his first name, but I think I'll keep it.
*has changed it like five times already*
Edited a bit.
Yamasaki Makoto First Name: Makoto Last Name: Yamasaki Gender: Male Age: 25 Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual Alignment: Lawful Good Occupation: Bodyguard Side: Shogunate Appearance Standing at 5'9, Makoto has black hair that is usually kept in a ponytail. His eyes are a dull brown that show a hint of sadness. His build is very slender with little muscle visible - he's agile, with average physical strength. Upon the right side of his neck, a scar can be seen, though he usually covers it up with clothing or armor.  Personality: Forever honest and true, Makoto is a man all about honor and integrity. Laws are to be followed, and anyone disobeying them shall be punished accordingly. Without exception. Not one to stretch the truth even the slightest, he expects those around him to be credible as well, and can often tell when one is lying to him by observation alone. It takes awhile to earn his trust, but very little is needed to lose it. Though, to those he deems honest, Makoto is friendly and easy to get along with. He isn't too uptight considering his law-biding nature; its all right to relax and have fun around him, so long as you're not breaking any laws while doing so. To the current shogun, he shows the utmost devotion, and will do anything within his power to see to it that his lord(s) are well protected. To him, the life of the shogun far outweighs the lives of countless civilians, and he will always choose to save influential figures over citizens. At times, he can seem a little paranoid when the shogun's life is in question, but he is just a cautious individual in general. History Born within a noble family quite loyal to the previous ruler, being the blade of your lord was an ideal ironed into his very being. Upholding the law and setting an example for those beneath you in rank was another. Home schooled, he was taught everything his parents felt was necessary for a child of nobility, until the age of ten, where he began to take up swordsmanship. At first, his father taught him daily through grueling methods, but as the years went by, he saw his father less and less.
After attempting to teach himself for several months, Makoto gave up and pleaded with his mother to let him join the nearby dojo. With her husband hardly ever around, she reluctantly agreed, knowing how much he was against Makoto obtaining knowledge of any kind from other sources. Life was decent at the dojo -- since he had already known much more than the basics, it didn't take long for him to rise through the ranks. He was a polite kid, and made many friends through his strong yet humble personality, even becoming somewhat of an assistant trainer to the other students.
Life at home, however, was a different story. It wasn't exactly bad, but his father became more and more scarce as time passed by until he simply disappeared all together. Whatever he was doing, money was still being provided to them, and there was no threat to their status as nobles. Still, Makoto wished that he could have shown his father just how strong he had become.
Once there was nothing left for the dojo to teach him in his style of swordsmanship, Makoto decided to take up another form of martial arts -- one he could use to subdue armed opponents without the use of his sword. At the time, he wanted to join the law enforcement, rather than become a soldier. Now at the age of eighteen, he no longer needed his mother's blessings to join another dojo, though he spoke with her first anyway. This time, it wasn't so close to home. She couldn't hold him back any further, and wished him luck on the path he had chosen. They said their goodbyes, and Makoto set off to learn jūjutsu and hopefully become an upholder of the law like he had been taught as a child.
Two more years had passed, and Makoto had successfully accomplished his goal. He was a great warrior, and used his talent for the benefit of his people. Feeling great about himself, he decided to return home for just a little while and catch up with his mother. Upon reaching his home, however, he was greeted instead by samurai of the shogun himself. From what he had gathered during his questioning, his household was being accused of treason -- there were whispers of some sort of coup being planned. Eventually, he managed to prove his innocence by proving that he hadn't come into contact with his family for quite some time.
He was let go, though returned to his own home since he couldn't find his mother. Upon arriving to work the next day, he was informed of an operation being led by the police. They were being brought in as extra muscle to defend the shogun's castle that night. There were rumors of individuals out to take his life, so extra guards were needed. This was the chance he had been looking for, surely this was much more meaningful than his current work.
The night came, and the castle had never been so guarded. The night went by, and they were seemingly in the clear. However, something out of the corner of his eye grabbed his attention, forcing him to leave his post to investigate. He stealthily tracked the movement in the shadows, ultimately coming to an unguarded entrance. He gave pursuit, chasing down the group of cloaked individuals who knew the castle walls quite well it seemed; somehow, they managed to avoid running into any guards, almost as if they too were in on it.
Minutes passed as the mysterious group skillfully dashed about. Upon turning a corner that they too had passed moments ago, he came to a stop. Before him were larger doors, and the cloaked group. The doors surely lead to the shogun. There was nothing left to do but to stop these villains, even if he felt that something was wrong. Upon making his presence known, he was instantly attacked. Though strong fighters, he was able to lessen their numbers to only two. The doors flung open and out stormed several guards, catching the remaining two assailants in a pincer. Unable to accomplish their task, one thought to escape, and made a desperate run towards Makoto, whom stopped the cloaked figure in its tracks. The guards did not move. The two fought on for several minutes before Makoto was defeated -- still, the guards did not move. Before the decisive slash to his throat could be dealt, the second cloaked figure cried out to its comrade to stop. The voice was feminine. Makoto knew that voice. Something in him snapped at that moment, and as the blade continued towards his neck, a miracle was bestowed upon him. The katana's edge simply brushed past his neck, leaving a decent cut yet sparing his life. In an instant, he capitalized and thrust his sword into the abdomen of the would-be assassin, and down fell the hood. The face he saw writhing in agony before him was a familiar one; though he hadn't seen much of it, it was unmistakeable.
Makoto took a step back in shock and let the word he should have never uttered escape his lips: "Father". The other assassin removed their hood, it was indeed a woman, his mother. The guards moved in to arrest her. Makoto's blunder was not unnoticed, as some of the guards even motioned their blades to him. Sure, he had stopped the assassins, but...
His parents, what were they thinking? After all that they had taught him. Flesh and blood or not, they were wrong, and Makoto knew it. But still, though he had no real feelings for his father, his mother had always been kind - she had always been there for him. It was then that he saw his mother's smiling face. He had grown strong, and she was proud. He knew that she would surely be executed, but after who knows what. He loved her too much to let anything of the sort happen to her, and so...
In a blink of the eye, his blade - still stained in his father's blood - met the flesh of his mother. She was dead before she hit the ground, swift and peaceful. His deeds did not go unnoticed, as the shogun herself bore witness. To kill his parents for the sake of his lord. Such devotion. Be it because the shogun felt pity for the man, or because she wanted someone "ruthless" enough to spill the blood of family to defend her, an offer was made to him: He could become a personal bodyguard to the shogun from that moment on. Weapon(s): Reiken: A katana of notable length, obtained from within a locked chest found in the basement of his parents' home. The key to which was hidden within a pendant that his mother wore around her neck. Surprisingly light despite its length. Power(s): Moonflow: Around Makoto's body rests an invisible sphere of ki. Anything that enters the sphere can be pulled in or pushed away, bringing in unsuspecting enemies for the kill or drawing fatal attacks away from his vitals. The power of the pull is far greater to that of the push, though objects that are either too heavy or traveling too fast cannot be manipulated so easily (if at all). Weaknesses: Having had everything "handed down" to him as a nobleman, Makoto feels as though he has to constantly prove his worth. Because of this, he is a demon on the battlefield, but shows little regard for his own safety when it comes to accomplishing a task (especially defending the shogun), and can thus get carried away. Likes: Bitter tasting tea(s) ; a breezy, moonlit night ; reading poetry (though he has no talent in writing it). Dislikes: Criminals ; those who try to harm the shogun ; sweet tea(s). Other Information: Skilled in the arts of battōjutsu and jūjutsu, with his special ability greatly enhancing the latter.

@ Kitten - An actual time limit would be good. And I'd prefer if you put in a speed limit, too. For instance, not being able to run while invisible. Or having it wear off more quickly the faster you move.

Gonna likely be posting a few times in succession here, but... Well, I'm finally getting my own characters posted. Huzzah! Also, I'm caught up on the profiles again.
Now, the first character of mine. A blast from the past version of this roleplay, but with a new twist: he's on the opposite side. For now.
Mikage Kurei First Name: Kurei Last Name: Mikage Gender: Male Age: 19 Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual Alignment: Neutral Good (will break the law if necessary, but always for the greater good) Occupation: Bounty Hunter/Mercenary Side: Shogunate Appearance: Kurei Personality: Kurei is a kind person, though he takes his job very, very seriously. He's not afraid to kill if it's necessary, but he does try to avoid taking lives if the situation doesn't call for it. He is extremely loyal to the Shogun, and he refuses to take on jobs that would go against the man. History: Kurei's father was a bounty hunter in service to the Shogun even before the man took power. From an early age, Kurei was trained by his father to use a katana, and once he was old enough, he started working alongside his father on the job. The boy showed a considerable amount of promise as a bounty hunter, using his inherited abilities to aid him in catching the many criminals that roam the streets. Two years ago, while Kurei was at home caring for his younger sister, his father was killed on the job. His mothers and sister were unable to support their family, so Kurei took up his father's job on his own and is now working to provide his family with the money they need. He works very hard at his job, not wanting his family to live in any less comfort than they are used to. Weapon(s): A black-bladed katana called Kuroka. Power(s): Kurei is able to manipulate shadows in a variety of ways. These ways include, but are not limited to, turning himself into shadow for the purposes of quick travel and avoiding attacks (he cannot physically interact with anything while in this shadow form, though), using shadows to form weapons or barriers in combat, and healing his wounds by turning into shadow and reforming himself. He cannot conjure his own shadows, though, so his powers are severely limited during the day. Kurei is also able to see in the dark, but he is colorblind. Weaknesses: Kurei is weakened by sunlight, and being exposed to bright lights is painful to him. He cannot use his powers while in light (at least, not without risking serious injury to himself). His eyes are also highly sensitive, so bright lights can easily blind him for short periods of time, depending on how long the light is shining in his eyes. Likes: His Family, His Job, Darkness, Training Dislikes: The Sun, Bright Lights, Fire, Criminals, Being Weak Other Information: Kurei's powers are hereditary. He has the shadow variety of his family's powers, which is rare. The majority of the people in his family, including his sister, manipulate light rather than darkness.

How long does the invisibility last while in combat, or does she not even bother using it then?

I went ahead and accepted it. Just waiting for Juicesir to fix his profile, now... I'll probably PM him about it just to speed things along.
If anyone wants to make another character, feel free. Any side will do. We could use more female characters, since thus far the gender balance is quite poor.

I would greatly, greatly prefer for the Shogun to be male. But as a very last resort, the Shogun could be female. And if you can play characters on opposite sides. That's not a problem.

First Name: Kasumi Last Name: Sayuri Gender: female Age: unknown, guessed to be between 19 and 23 Sexual Orientation: bisexual Alignment: evil Occupation: traveling gypsy Side: assassin Appearance: Spoiler: click to toggle
Personality: Kasumi has a very good silver tongue that she uses to her advantage. Being very smooth and selective of her words, she does nothing but temp the minds and bodies of those around her. She only cares about personal gain and she will kill anyone or anything just to get what she wants. She doesn’t wish to fall in love mainly because she feels humans are nothing more but toys for her to play with and dispose of as she wishes. She can also come off as very sure of herself, but she’s just very arrogant.
History: Kasumi wasn’t born in Japan, she was born in the middle eastern. Raised by her Japanese parents while traveling with a group of gypsy. She learned that she must fight to get what she wants and sometimes even kill. Her parents weren’t around a whole lot so she was raised by the gypsy women. Sadly though her parents ended up leaving her behind, but Kasumi didn’t care one bit. Here is when she learned about the serpents eye’s. The gypsy’s taught her everything about it.
She went on through her life until a man seen her and took her from the band of gypsy. This man made Kasumi his wife and gave her everything he had, of course she didn’t get any of that without being the temptress she is. Slowly she grew bored of the man until she heard of his family treasury. She used her silver tongue to get her husband to show her where it was, of course the man showed her without a second thought. As they got there, Kasumi noticed two odd blades and grabbed both of them out of the shrine they were sitting in.
The man broke out of his little trance since she lost her concentration on him. He told her about the blades and what they could do. Her husband tried to get his way by saying he would give her the blades if she would do something for him. With one swing she cut off his head, only because she was bored of him and felt he was of no more use. After that day Kasumi noticed she was coughing up blood. She wasn’t sure why but at the same time she paid no mind to it. The only thing that was on her mind was making her way to Japan for some odd reason.
She traveled by boat and met a man on that same boat that was taken by her beauty. This man seemed to know a body doubling spell that she liked. She learned what she could from this man and just threw him overboard to the sharks that were following. She practiced the best she could with her blades and the abilities that she learned. Amazing enough she was able to master the blades on her own just before she got to Japan. When she stepped off the boat she seen a land that was ready to be taken by her. Weapon(s): two blades elemental blades without hand guards. The right blade is known as the Behemoth blade as her left handed blade is called the leviathan blade (seen in picture)
Power(s): Eye’s of serpents: looking into her eye’s is very dangerous, they are known in foreign lands to be used by gypsy’s themselves to tempt any they wish. Her eye’s can make man and women alike almost fall into a hypnosis state, but they are causing the person to slowly fall for her. Of course the spell can be broken and avoided. To avoid it, one must not look into her eye’s for longer then ten seconds. After that ten seconds it becomes very hard to break the spell, but when caught in her trance it’ll take will power to break it or for her to lose concentration . Most warriors or even monks are able to break it, but they must be true warriors and monks. Mere peasants couldn’t hope to break free.
Blades of the earth:
Leviathan blade: this blade has the ability to have water come forth covering the blade and making it sharper. Of course the water can be shot out in a high pressured blast that can shoot a hole through anyone and almost anything. Once she does that though the water goes away till the next day.
Behemoth blade :the right handed blade uses the element of fire, but since it’s fire it also hurts the user. This blade can be activated only by her and when she wills it. The blade awakens and is covered in fire. She stabs this blade into the ground causing an explosion that is 6yards wide. Of course this is more of a sacrifice ability, but it does take 5sec to blow. With the blade having fire around it, the user can shoot out a slash of flames also, but like the Leviathan blade once that is done the flames leave. This blade also hurts the user by slowly burning their hand. That’s why she would only use it if really needed.
Smoke screen: with both of her blades activated, she hits them together and creates a small smoke screen that she only uses to get away in.
Body doubles: this is a fake out. Her body doubles are nothing more but illusions that flicker. She never mastered this ability so she can only make five of them. To the untrained eye one couldn’t notice that the fakes flicker while she does not.
Weaknesses: Using her blades fire ability harms her, underestimates everyone, has a sickness that causes her to cough up blood if she strains herself.
Likes: herself, anything she wants, the smell of fire, bending people to her will
Dislikes: messing her hair up, her own blood, being denied what she wants, flowers.
Other Information: Kasumi was stricken with a sickness awhile back. The sickness causes her to cough up blood if she strains herself. If she does strain herself then it just brings her closer to death until she relaxes. She isn’t sure how to get rid of it, so she learned how to deal with it, but too many times has she almost died because of it.

I went ahead and accepted the character. So we now have three women and six men. Anyone else want to make a female character? I might not make another character after all. We'll see.

I had an idea for a female assassin, but I'll probably hold off on it for now and see how busy Makoto will be. Or I can post it up now and RP as her later on, if that works.

Enigmatic is insane.

But don't forget to smile.

Sure. Just make a note that she's not going to be active from the start.
Would anyone mind terribly if I made a character who is essentially a vampire? Because with all these seductive and mesmerizing people on the assassin side of things, I figured the shogunate needed someone who could return the favor. (And do it for blood.)
