Spurred on by dreams of great things

Character Name: Sara Asano (阿佐野娑蘿) Gender: F Age: 16 Height: 5' 6" Weight: "That's fine, you wanna get killed?" Description or Image of Character Appearance: ![]() Occupation: Grade Level: 2nd Year Powers/ Abilities: Avatar of the Sleeping Saint Hijiri: As the supposed reincarnation of the Living Buddha Saint Hijiri, Sara has access to a large well of spiritual power by channeling his spirit. This allows her to produce several powerful, divine techniques by reciting appropriate mantras. While her power is great, it can be quite tiring and often challenging for her due to her oftentimes less-than-virtuous behavior. Each technique is activated through a repeated chant and doing so requires the utmost concentration meaning Sara is unable to move while using any of her abilities. Additionally, while her spiritual well may be deep, her body can only handle the strain for so long and will begin to break down if strained. She is also capable of doing basic monastic feats such as purification, sanctification and basic martial feats taught to all monks. Her abilities are also linked to her own state of emotional purity. Anger, hate or despair will weaken her powers and cause additional strain when used. A hate-fueled exorcist chant could potentially shred her body if use wantonly. Green Tara - The Eight Protections (OM-TARE-TUTTARE-TURE-SOHA) This chant wards off harm and evil, manifested in a brilliant golden barrier surrounding the target. Sara can use it to protect herself or others and it can expand up to enormous sizes. However, anything beyond average living room size is impractical and would quickly strain her body far beyond its limits. That said, her barriers are incredibly formidable, able to stand up to powerful attacks for a reasonable amount of time (subject to the strain of resisting such attacks) and is especially effective at blocking dark or evil magic. This chant can be used in conjunction with most others and is often a good opening move to protect Sara as she cannot move while using other chants. Medicine Buddha Mantra - Healing (TADYATA-OM-BHEKHANDZYE-BHEKHANDZYE-MAHA-BHEKHANDZYE-RAJA-SAMUDGATE-SVAHA) A chant of healing, Sara can use this to heal minor to moderate wounds. Things like scrapes, cuts and most manageable battle wounds are easily fixed by this chant. It is capable of warding off death from fatal wounds as well, but cannot heal them in any reasonable amount of time and even then only if the chant is uttered continuously without a break in concentration can this be done. This chant, unlike the other two, cannot be uttered in conjunction with any other chant and requires complete focus. Kuji-in - Nine Syllables Exorcism (RIN-PYO-TO-SHA-KAI-JIN-RETSU-ZAI-ZEN) A powerful chant for destroying evil and balancing karma. Each syllable is an attack in itself, forming a brilliant golden kanji when it is muttered which then seeks out the target of the exorcism. They fly at the speed of a diving hawk and can take unusual flight paths to confound their targets. They hit with extreme concussive force and average comparison is about the same as being hit with a baseball bat. They will do more or less damage depending on the purity of the heart of the target meaning those with ill-intentions or an evil heart will feel its effects far more while those of pure-heart wouldn't feel anything at all. This technique is typically used by muttering the syllables in quick succession repeatedly, unleashing a barrage against its intended target. While this use is formidable, it takes a strong toll on the body and will quickly cause internal damage if overused. Unlike other chants, this chant requires the use of hand signs with each syllable. Equipment You Have: Prayer Beads Cheap Cell Phone 40" Solid Rosewood Bokken Surgical Mask Residency Request: Yuki Schedule: Homeroom Teacher: Lavender 1) Cooking 2) History 3) The Arts Personality Description: Sara has a very distinct personality in that she behaves distinctly like the leader of a high-school gang. She is often crass, rude and seems to enjoy intimidating others. Frequently skipping school, mouthing off to teachers or sleeping in class is sort of her MO and while all of that might suggest someone who just doesn't care about their own life or at least has had an underprivileged childhood, none of those describe the truth. Sara, while caring deeply about those around her and her own future, struggles to connect with people around her due to the insecurities heaped upon her by her parents decision to surrender her to the Golden Order at such a young age. As such she puts on the act of being a harsh and careless person to avoid being hurt by others. In truth she has never really been in a gang or men and typically bluffs about her feats. Beneath that false exterior she has actually a fairly sad, shy, reflective person. She hates the cards she's been dealt and wishes nothing more than for someone or someway to release her from her obligation as the Avatar of the Sleeping Saint Hijiri. Personal History: Sara was born into a strict religious household in a small town. They lived a few kilometers away from the Kiniro-do temple, a fact which would shape much of her childhood. The monks there would make trips into town which Sara's parents would treat with greater importance than most holidays. They were a well-respected body amongst the people and had allegedly protected the town since the sengoku period when they were founded as a shinto order. Sara's parents were harsh people, scolding her frequently for even minor offenses, but her situation was no unique where she was from. Even so, her life took a turn for the worse at the tender age of seven. The temple, which was a bright, golden, walled-in building with a great gate was allegedly protected by three living buddhas (sokushinbutsu) that had been there as far back as its stories stretched. Each of the three saints would supposedly be reincarnated every generation and those that inherited their souls were supposed to have great spiritual power and strong virtue. They were charged with rooting out evil and purifying the land. It was these people that protected the town in the old stories. When Sara was small two of the reincarnated saints had already been found, but she hardly paid attention to such things. However, when she was seven the monks of the order, believing the reincarnation of the final saint, the Sleeping Saint Hijiri, was somewhere in that town, began visiting households and testing the children with a well-known method of laying out objects for the possible reincarnation to choose from. By some miracle, Sara selected the correct three out of dozens. Her parents didn't hesitate for a moment to hand their daughter over to the order, despite her protest. The next several years of her life were full of bitter sadness and resentment mixed as she had no choice but to live amongst the monks in strict religious observation. She learned their teachings and techniques, but rejected them in her heart. This led to her frequent deliquesce of sometimes running off and hiding in the woods for days, defacing sacred statues or 're-writing' mantras written on centuries-old scrolls. Inevitably, the monks could stand no more of her and suspended her privileges of living at the monastery. Her parents were too ashamed of her to allow her to return home. Bitterly, she agreed to go to the city of Hyakuji and attend school there, the only place capable of catering to someone in her situation. She would remain either until graduation or until her behavior improved sufficiently that she could return to the monastery. As if either of those things were ever going to happen. Mashed Potatoes?
