Personal Info:
-----------------------
Name: Yuuki Hatake
Nickname: Speed Demon, White Tiger
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Species: Human
Alignment: True Neutral
-----------------------
Appearance:
-----------------------
Height: 5' 9"
Skin/Fur/Scales, Etc.: Skin, lightly tanned
Eyes: Dark gray
Hair: A dark brown, pulled up into a ponytail. Bangs hang down in her face and along the sides, just barely hanging in her eyes.
Looks: Yuuki is a tall and lightly tanned woman with dark brown hair tied up in a ponytail. Bangs tend to hang down in her face and along the sides of her face. She has icy dark gray eyes that have been hardened from years of fighting and killing. The worst scars that she has on her face are three diagonal claw-like streaks on the left side of her cheek.
From years of training and hard work, she has built up an athletic and lithe build. Unlike Seika's, whose muscles are more prominent, Yuuki's muscles are similar to that of a runner or swimmer, with a lean but strong musculature. Her body is littered with scars, both superficial and deep, from the countless numbers of battles Yuuki's fought in. Her most notable physical characteristic, however, is the tattoo that was branded onto her back when she first joined with the organization. It can never be removed, and Yuuki must bear it as a memory of her past. This is part of the reason why Yuuki hates to reveal any skin on her back.
Yuuki also has an artificial left leg, with the prosthetic stretching all the way to the upper part of her thigh. It's made out of sleek, strong metal and synthetic material, allowing Yuuki to move her joints with ease and flex synthetic muscles, just like in a real leg. Part of her right leg was also blown off, up to the middle of her calf. This was received when she was blown up by an enemy IED, which also gave her deep lacerations on her other leg as well. The deep scars and stitches are still visible. However, it's not only her leg that was blown up. Yuuki had lost chunks of her skin in that explosion, and while those grew back eventually, the ones on her stomach were too severe. They severed through her stomach, and also ended up destroying some organs and critically injuring others, and so Yuuki has mechanical parts interlacing inside her organs to keep them in functioning order. Because some of the blood vessels had also ruptured, metal pipes also extend through her body and into some of the veins that had been cut in half.
Her attire usually consists of a (very) dark gray tank top and light kevlar material, as well as pants made of the same light but durable material, and combat boots. She tends to enjoy wearing her trench coat, and has shoulder holsters for her pistols. She sometimes carries a utility belt with her. Other times, when out in the open, she'll resort to more casual, everyday clothes. On missions, depending on the sort of mission that is, she'll dress accordingly to blend in so she can get in, eliminate her target, and get out without a hitch. Her sai are easily enough concealed that she can hide it in her clothes and slide them out within a second's notice.
----------------------
Specialties:
----------------------
Strengths/skills:
- Proficient with technology, Yuuki was able to make a few of her gadgets, as well as upgrade Dragon Storm's base security. She can mildly hack. And she can pick locks, yay. This helps with escape artistry, but of course, she is definitely not on the professional levelyet.
- Yuuki is a very well-rounded individual, and has trained herself in other useful abilities such as piloting aircraft, using all sorts of weapon systems, and is multilingual. She was taught psychology, escapology, stealth, disguise, and the art of espionage. She has natural skill in reading the body motions of other people, which allows her to predict most attacks.
- A master at close-ranged combat, most of Yuuki's abilities revolve around the usage of close combat. She can use her weapons in very versatile manners, incorporating a number of different types of martial arts into her fighting style. She is proficient with the usage of her two sai, able to use them in both an attacking and defensive form. Yuuki has also mastered the art of stealth, and can silently move through the shadows unnoticed. For the most part.
- Yuuki has honed her body to almost the peak of human perfection for someone of her age through vigorous and intensive training from a very young age. She is at the peak stamina for someone her age, and is already capable of running faster than the average human in her base abilities. Yuuki is also at the peak of human agility, with fast reflexes and instincts. She exercises control, precision, and balance in her fighting, the three aspects that she has concentrated on the most, more so than brute strength. She is very mentally concentrated, and able to withstand telepathy and mind control with some concentration.
Weaknesses:
- Yuuki does not actually have any abilities built for mid-range or long-ranged attacks, which keeps her at short-ranged combat.
- She cannot go fast for a very long time, because firstly, it drains her energy rather quickly. For the second reason, while her brain is fast and can process quickly, it is not fast enough to let her eyes take in everything around her, and so everything becomes a blur. This is why she only uses it in small, controlled bursts at a time.
- Yuuki is only human, not superhuman. Her abilities are only magic spells that she has come to learn over time. Everything else about her is her own, personal human abilities.
- She is not very durable, and while she has stamina, she is not known for her endurance. Regular punches from regular humans can injure her as much as it can for other humans.
Special Abilities:
Freeze
Freeze grants Yuuki the ability to freeze objects and people around her. She can adjust the type of her ice: brittle ice to make objects weaker and easier to destroy, or permafrost to make objects/weapons more durable and resistant to heat and damage. She cannot make living creature skin more brittle because of the internal heat they give off, as this ability is built for items, not living and breathing creatures; all she can do is just freeze them in place, but she is still capable of hardening the ice to make it harder to escape. This ability can only be activated upon contact with Yuuki's own skin. Depending on the structure of the object, her ice can either freeze within half a second, or take up more time. Smooth, flat surfaces will not take long at all. Bumpy and rocky surfaces will take a bit longer, but Yuuki's ice can still spread rather rapidly. The bullets of her pistols can burst into ice and coat surroundings, objects, and people with thick ice that may take some time to break through. Ice can also begin to coat when her sai come into contact with objects.
Veil Prison
Veil prison is a defensive ability, a bubble-like sphere of water that wraps around Yuuki's entire body. Shaped within half a second, it's designed to suck in all of the momentum of whatever strikes it. For example, if a bullet were to touch the sphere, it would stop inside the water and could not be pulled out easily. While the veil prison is powerful as a defensive maneuver, it gives no room for Yuuki to move around, as she is stationed in one place as long as the sphere is active.
Yuuki can manipulate her veil prison into a half-shield, which gives her more flexibility to attack as well. However, this offers her less defense, as it would only guard one side of her that she chose to protect. The half-shield form cannot change shape, so it cannot grow bigger or smaller, and is limited to a certain size. She can only block one attack at a time using this ability, but it still works the same way as the full bubble shield, sucking all of the momentum out of whatever strikes it. For example, if an enemy swung a sword at her, and she turned the veil prison into its half form to block it, then she wouldn't be able to block from other attacks. This is because her veil prison is fully occupied protecting her from the sword, and leaves other parts of her body open for attack. This is why the veil prison shield is not very useful against multiple opponents. Yuuki understands this weakness, and
Her bubble is useful against large scale attacks, while the half form is useful for one-on-one fighting. This is still usually used as a last resort.
Her bubble can only be formed when she has a visible water source around her. Its size could also vary on the water source's size, but she also has a maximum size that her half shield can reach. After using it once, she has a cooldown of one post before she can use it again.
Speed
Yuuki can move faster than the average human, capable of almost reaching the speed of sound at her maximum speed. The fast speed is used in short, controlled bursts at a time, because it drains her energy too much to keep up when she goes fast, for a long time. And while her mind may process more quickly than the average human, her eyes still cannot process at the speed she is going, so the faster she goes, the blurrier everything gets.
Strike
This ability allows Yuuki to concentrate gusts of winds around parts of her body and used in a variety of ways. This can be used as a slashing movement, a single piercing stab, or a shockwave. The shockwave is the main ability of "strike", the other two are just slight variations. It uses the power of propulsion force, appearing in the shape of ringlets of pressurized air. Yuuki's wind becomes much more centralized, and she can send out a small shockwave that can both push away opponents and make her hits stronger, or boost her speed. By creating multiple shock rings around that specific part of her body, she can increase its power. Yuuki most often uses it as a speed boost or a jumping boost, and can actually also be used in midair. The single piercing stab concentrates the wind around her fingertips, which turn them into tiny needles made to either jab into pressure points or stab into and through the opponent. She uses this move to quickly and efficiently take out opponents without too much of a hassle. The slashing move is similar to a clawed Yuuki sending out claws of razor wind. However, they are no bigger than her own body height, and are much more compressed.
Yuuki needs time if she wants to build up more power for this ability, and it has a wait of 1 post. If she doesn't, she cannot use it to its maximum input.
---------------------
Personality:
---------------------
Personality: Yuuki is the cool, calm, and collected leader of team Dragon Storm. She herself might not be the main strategist, but she is a quick and rational thinker, always ready with a plan, and with a black up plan following the original one. Contrary to her appearance, she has a rather short patience span, which her teammates can break to the minimum. More often than not, gets exasperated by her team's constant antics, especially when they destroy things and make their money bill rocket even higher. Yuuki's job requires for her to be able to blend in with her surroundings, and this displays Yuuki's ability in acting and creating a fake identity for herself. And in order to get close to her targets, she needs to know how to understand people and empathize with them. She understands that she kills for a living. Some people may believe that killing on the "correct" side will make them less at fault, but Yuuki knows that no matter what, killing is still killing. She still takes a life, no matter who she works for. And she's fine with it. After all, it's not a job that she can thrive in if she's squeamish about such things. And from experiencing countless bloodshed, Yuuki has hardened her exterior and interior in order to shield herself from any emotions that might cost her her life.
When her first kill happened, Yuuki suffered through PTSD, and has constantly had nightmares since that day. The battles that she has been through afterwards have not helped much, either. This has significantly impaired her ability to reason with the average society, because she just can't integrate herself fully back into a civilian lifestyle. All she can do is craft a mask and hide it as best as she can, and this makes it hard for her to empathize with others, because they don't know what she has gone through. She is somewhat emotionally constipated, as some people might put it, and has a hard time expressing herself properly through her words and actions.
Yuuki is a very careful planner, and always prepares ahead of time before she gets rid of her target. She researches both about her target and the person who hired her, before she makes any decisions. Just because they offered a reward did not mean that Yuuki was immediately going to accept with a smile and do their dirty work.
She is observant, and very focused on her job. She pays a lot of attention to detail, which helps her to quickly notice if something is not as it appears. This was able to be formed over years of analyzing carefully and concentration. Even when in a fight, Yuuki keeps calm and thinks with a clear mind. When not doing missions, Yuuki will avoid fights at all costs, as she finds them most unnecessary.
Organized and orderly, Yuuki likes it when things are kept in order and neatly placed. This is why her room is pretty much always spick and span; she claims she can't find anything when nothing is in the correct spot. She is also a big worrier about punctuality, since she believes that early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable. She also trains daily, because her abilities will degenerate if she does not constantly commit herself to strengthening her body continously.
Likes/Hobbies:
- Gardening
- Technology
- Punctuality
- Tea
- Order and organization
- Reading
Dislikes:
- Having to repeat herself multiple times
- Messes
- Not the biggest fan of coffee
Fears:
- Getting close to people. But once she becomes close, she fears to lose them. She's already almost lost her teammates too many times due to her rash decisions when she was younger.
- Doctors. It's a bit irrational, but Yuuki can't help but shiver at the thought of having to go to that horrible place. It's almost as bad as having needles stabbed into her skin, which may have partially come into play from her trauma at losing her limbs. There were... many needles involved.
- Slight fear of heights
- Failure. This is Yuuki's most deeply set fear. She despises the idea of failing, after having failed so many times in her past. It agonizes her and stresses her out for her to think about how she isn't able to do something, or complete it, and Yuuki would rather tear her hair out than face the prospect of failing.

RP paragraph:
- Spoiler:
- Xylnthian leaped out of the way as a large fireball hurled at him from the demon, almost crashing into a large column.
"HOLY MOTHERFUCKING GOD!!" he yelped as another fireball came close to searing off his scales. Sure, he was a FireWing, and you were probably thinking, But FireWings are immune to fire! That was definitely true, FireWings were immune, but this was a fucking DEMON. They weren't exactly.... you know. Regular and shit. How did they even end up in this situation in the first place? Oh yeah. That guy. That day, he had been chillaxing at home with Enz Zziio (his gorgeous mate, might he add), comfortably in his arms. They were cuddling and everything! Then, some asshat who claimed to be Enz's childhood friend called Ryuu had suddenly appeared out of nowhere (and ruined his very nice smuggling, thank you very much) and requested for Enz and some other dragons to help defeat some kind of stupid demon dragon.
Just great.
He knew he should have just declined... But noooo, Enz had to accept. At that time, he really wanted to just burn the bastard into a crisp, but that would make Enz sad, and Xyl hated seeing Enz sad. That was the last thing he wanted to do.
He launched a high-speed fireball at Averon, sadly doing only minimum damage. Seriously, what was this guy made of? Thankfully, Avian, the FireWing Lieutenant, was able to dodge out of the way as well. "We need to burn that thing down!!!" the feathered FireWing shouted at Xylnthian.
Yeah, no shit, sherlock. The question was how. The demon was very powerful, constantly growing in power the angrier he got. And boy, were they making him mad.
What could Xylnthian do? Use his surroundings? Ok, yeah. That was the logical thing to do. He scrutinized the area with narrowed eyes. Ok then. Rubble. Giant stupid tower with beacon, and a dark temple. Yeah, totally helpful. Riiiight. What could he do with the rubble? Another fireball was headed for his group, and so he immediately leaped behind one of the broken sculptures. Where was Enz!? As his gaze swept through the whole area, he spotted her familiar shape inching her way towards the entrance. He wanted to scream out, do something at least, but that would give away his location. All he could do was just sit there helplessly. Enz! he pleaded silently, as they made eye contact. His metal eye was the only reason he could see her mouth, I'm sorry.. before she disappeared inside. Just as that happened, a pillar from on top of the temple crashed down, barricading her inside with probably no escape at all.
"NO! ENZ! FUCK--" Before he could do anything, something from out of nowhere slammed into the side of his head, knocking him from out of his hiding place out into the open. Oh shit. He was exposed, there was no time to get away. Shit shit shit shitshitshitmotherfuckingshit-- "Xylnthian!" Ryuu called out, and sent a slashing wave at the marble pillars above the demon, sending the rubble crashing down and burying the demon, thankfully saving Xylnthian from his pending doom. Damn. Now he had to be thankful for the stupid shitface who brought them into this mess? But it wouldn't last. They had to get out of there. But Xylnthian couldn't leave. He had to keep fighting. Keep fighting for Enz. He couldn't leave her.
His eyes closed for a second, and he listed sideways. The only thing preventing him from falling was Ryuu, who was supporting him.
“We have to go...” Ryuu said next to Xylnthian, his voice that of sympathy. “We can't get to her now... she is on her own, but we still have an obligation to make. We must make it to the tower and power the beacon. If we do not then our friends have died for nothing,” said Ryuu. Xylnthian hesitated, his eyes shifting desperately back towards the blocked entrance. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the rubble shift and move. Oh shit.
“Lets go! There is no time to lose!” shouted Ryuu. Xylnthian nodded, trying to push the thoughts of Enz to the back of his head as he followed Ryuu down the ruined hall. She would be fine. She was a strong and proud dragon.. she'd definitely make it...... Right?
As they pressed on, Xylnthian grew more and more worried. This feeling.. his gut was telling him that something was wrong. Something was not going according to the plan. The beacon was ready and lit, and so Xylnthian's group of ragtag dragons sat there and waited. And waited.
Where the fuck was she? What had happened?
After this is all over, we'll go back home together. Just you and me, Enz.
He watched as Ryuu took out a scope, before the dragon suddenly dropped the scope in shock. “NO!” he said backing up against a small pillar supporting the roof of the beacon tower.
"W-what? What happened!?" Xylnthian's face drained of color and he shoved Ryuu in his haste to race to the edge to get a closer look. There stood a crimson dragon over Enz's still and unmoving body, which was covered in crimson. B-blood? Xylnthian's heart shattered into pieces, and he staggered, falling down. "N-no....." he whispered, tears now falling freely from his eyes. How could this happen? They were going to succeed, they were going to win! His hopes had just been crushed... what happened to going home together!?
He snarled in rage and grabbed Ryuu's neck with renewed strength and smashed the other dragon into the ground. "You told us it would be fine!" he roared, spittle flying out of his maw as his eyes dilated with rage. "YOU SAID ENZ WOULD LIVE!" Ryuu glanced away guiltily, and Xylnthian stuttered on his words as they clogged in the back of his throat. He could feel a sob forming deep in his chest. He couldn't find any reason to yell anymore. What was the point? Enz was gone now. She'd never come back. He released his hold and backed off, choked laughter escaping his throat like a madman. Tears streamed down his eyes as he roared into the night sky, a cry full of pain and loss, a broken heart lodged deep within him.
A world without Enz would be like a nightmare... a never-ending hell where Enz wasn't by his side. There was no point in living..
His eyes, now dull and listless, stared blankly at his beloved's body as his spirit broke apart. There were no more tears left to shed. His mate... his love... she was gone. Gone forever from his life. He didn't even register Ryuu's heartbroken voice apologizing, he was far too gone to even care. The shock... this was just too much. He could dimly hear Avian's familiar voice as it roared in anger. His eyes slid shut and his head dipped forward. Darkness took over, and his body sagged, as if a once powerful soul had just left.
The beacon wavered and dimmed as its power failed to sustain it. The crystal turned black, and shattered as it dropped on the ground.
Time had run out. They had lost.
