OOC Info: Name/Alias: Makyuri Gender: Male Contact Information: Private Message me first if you please. Other Characters: I've only just joined the RPG here.
Are you sure you read all the rules?: When he goes vampire-slaying, the headmaster always wears his best dress and make-up. He likes to feel pretty while hunting for monsters in the sewers.
IC Description: Name: Hamabe Makyuri Alias/Nickname: He answers to Ma or Kyuri as shortened names. Gama, meaning toad, is a name he picked up surfing. Age: 16 Gender: Male Race and Level: Vampire, Level C Status: Night Class Student
Appearance: A toned and lithe, athletic form that was shaped by his surfboarding habit, that aforementioned sport had left quite a fingerprint both on his looks and on his actions. The young man's face is clean-shaven, though his rich violet eyes were very much hidden by the tendrils of shaggy blonde hair that snaked down in a bowl across his head. This hair, too, showed the constant stain of his sport, for it was bleached from the constant touch of salt water.
Though he does well to keep his Cross Academy Night Class uniform prim and clean, Makyuri projects a laid back look when he is not in class. He often wore slightly baggy cargo pants that ran down to his feet. These were usually covered with either wooden geta clogs or jika-tabi boots. His top usually had a long sleeved t-shirt with a short-sleeved one layered over it.
Though his clothing obscures them, Makyuri has a red tattoo of the symbol for the Quiksilver surf brand on both his upper left and upper right arm.
Personality: Makyuri is sometimes overcome with sadness and conflict by his unique situation - someone who loved a sport of the sunshine and yet damned to the forces of the night. Nevertheless, he is eternally calm and relaxed in the perfect surfer's archetype, and projects a very laid back personality. Makyuri is also quite the romantic, and possesses a strong sense of justice.
Other Information: As well as surfing, Makyuri has several other hobbies. He enjoys reading manga, listening to music, and Oto Resu (Japanese motorcycle racing.) As to the final, he actually enjoys gambling, though his age usually prohibits this to him giving money to a 'responsible adult' when they're placing their own bets.
IC Background:
Biography: The Hamabe family lived a relatively pleasant life in the Japanese prefecture of Okinawa. Growing up alongside the water, it seemed only natural that he took an interest in surfing from his earliest days. As a sort that was standing on a surfboard seemingly as early as he could walk, Makyuri absorbed a good amount of the local surf culture and rose in the informal ranks that always form the pecking order of that kind of organization. However, through it all, he was always known as someone without an ego; in fact, the unwound nature he was known for could even make some of the other boys his age angry because it was almost impossible to get a rise out of him.
Makyuri tried his hardest in school, though admittedly, it was because he knew that academic success meant that his parents wouldn't restrict him from spending as much time on the water as he wished. Soaking in the sand and sun, Makyuri enjoyed everything about the beautiful days of summer in the southern prefecture.
It seemed he had everything figured out. Once he turned sixteen, he was going to apply for a motorcycle license and request that his school allow him to work at the local surf shop. It was going to further cement the 'perfect' plan that he had for his young live, and it was all going to come to an end with the love of a girl named Yugure. Sneaking out at midnight to kiss Yugure under the stars left him with little time to wonder why she he only ever saw her at those late hours.
Soon, however, those kisses turned to the kiss of death. With her eyes locked to his, Makyuri was unable to stop her from taking his life and joining him to the fate of the living dead. Stabilized with her blood, Makyuri grew into his new condition, though he dreaded the loss of precious daylight. He wanted nothing more than to once more surf under the cheerful sun, but alas, it was not to be.
He did learn, however, to use his newfound powers. Soon, the thugs that once invaded his beloved beach were dead; nourishment for his new state. His parents, however, were quick to discover his new dark secret and, in a state of near disbelief, sent him on his way after disowning him. Makyuri then came to Cross Academy, hoping that he would be able to find a new life to fit into.
Family and Other Important People: Hamabe Shunsuke: Father, disowned.
Hamabe Kiyone: Mother, disowned.
Hamabe Kyon: Brother, disowned.
Tsubaki Yugure: The pureblood who turned him; she has since disappeared, despite having controlled him in the past. Items of Note: He wears Geta, which are traditional Japanese wooden sandal clogs, as well as Jika-tabi, which are a marriage of traditional Japanese split-toed Tabi footwear and industrial shoe making techniques.
As previously noted, he has a pair of Quiksilver logos tattooed on the sides of his upper arms.
Character Goals: Though he might assure everyone that he doesn't have any goals, and that a relaxed individual like him doesn't think much about the future, he secretly wants to come to terms with his situation.
Powers, Abilities and Notable Skills: He is still learning to control many of the abilities that have been granted to him since becoming a vampire. However, he is currently immune to disease and human toxins, and possesses incredible senses and regeneration capabilities. However, unlike most Level C vampires, he has a strong sensitivity to sunlight.
His powers are sure to blossom more as he becomes accustomed to the form of the vampire.
RP Sample:
Standing slowly, his eyes adjusted more fully to the moonlight around him. Makyuri thrust his shirt onto the sand around him, feeling the aforementioned granules between his toes with a sigh. How he longed for the light of day, and yet, he understood just how beautiful this moment really was. The ocean was coupled with his surrogate mother - the night - and it came together to enthrall him in a way that even blood could not.
Exhaling, he grasped his composite surfboard and thrust it into the water along with himself. For the split second before his hands started paddling out, Makyuri understood the chill of the water against the equal chill of his undead flesh, and knew that it was the best combination he could have at the moment. Finally, with a duck dive he stood up on the board and found himself riding across the surface of the wave, reaching down on his surfboard so that he carve the water. Spinning and shredding through the wave, he enjoyed the feeling of water against his body as though it were the blood that he knew he needed to survive in this state.
He started to float himself to he top, spinning his board around underneath himself before he came back down, feeling as boundless as a flying fish jumping to break free from the water and soar amongst the clouds. However, those clouds were obscured by the dark cloak of the night that enveloped both them and his heart.
As he soon found himself back on shore, he started to clear the wax from his board with sand, allowing his boardshorts to drip with the water that was around him. Soon finding a towel he previously thrust onto the beach, Hamabe was at least dry enough to return to his dormitory. Slipping his feet into a pair of wooden geta, he soon tried to make his way back uninterrupted, but felt someone might soon be coming to speak to him.
Name explanation: Hamabe, his family name, is Japanese for beach - the place he is most connected to as a surfer. His given name Makyuri is a Japanese rendering of Mercury, which fits him on several levels. Mercury was the Roman god of commerce and speed, and a sport such of his praises one to be slight. Mercury, as in the element, is silvery like the moonlight his doomed to be within, and a deadly toxin like a vampire's bite. Another name for Mercury is Quicksilver - 'Quiksilver' is his favorite surf brand.
By the way, the back story character Yugure's name was chosen symbolically as well - Yugure means evening, which is the time for vampires to prowl.
