- Name: Makurayami Ai
- Age: 666
- Sexuality: Lesbian
- Appearance: Slightly but noticeably taller than average, with long legs and short, straight hair in stripes of red, orange, and yellow, though her dark red eyebrows and eyelashes make it obvious that this isn't her natural hair color. Has bright, beautiful ruby eyes that seem to shine in the dark. Curved in all the right places, though not to excess, and expertily manicured. Tanned just enough to be intriguing (and occasionally shows off her tan lines). Her only physical imperfection (unless you count the tan lines) is a pair of scars, large but faded, that suggest that she once had wings, and that they were removed quite violently.
- Personality: Ai is evil, and she'll readily admit it, but she's quick to point out that she's the fun kind of evil. Flirtatious and vapid on the surface, she's actually quite cunning beneath her little mask, though often too short-sighted to put her deviousness to proper use. Has a voracious sexual appetite, but has no concern with any emotional connection. Will amuse herself with all sorts of malicious mischief, but is quick to act like a wounded innocent if accused, and has a million sob stories at the ready, some of which may even have the benefit of technically being true. Enjoys corrupting those around her. Unusually for a demon, Ai is not fond of violence.
- Skills: Ai is a succubus. As such, she can make adjustments to her voice and personal appearance as needed to appear more attractive, as well as being able to create and use pheremone of various scents and effects. Rather than draining life-force, she thrives on pure, animal lust, especially directed towards herself, which she can manipulate and amplify once it's taken root. Can regrow her wings, either demonic or fallen-angelic, for brief periods. When she reveals her true succubus form, her tail is prehensile, and her horns are sturdy enough to support the weight of a high-school girl. Is capable of telekniesis and teleportation, as well as astral projection and dream manipulation; and, while she can't read minds, she ''does' have an unnerving ability to know far more about the people around her than she should be capable of. Due to her demonic nature, she is impervious to most physical harm.
- Biography: The great-granddaughter of Mephistopiles on her father's side, and a distant descendant of Lilith's on her mother's, Ai was, of course, born and raised in hell. As such, her upbringing was... unpleasant, to say the least. In addition, her inexplicable lack of bloodlust made her an even easier target for other demons to torment... Not that demons need the excuse. However, she discovered a gift for gossip and seduction, enabling her to find a few pawns to hide behind, and even exact some measure of retribution on her tormentors. She has several stories of how she received her scars, many of which involve her father, but it's not clear which are actually true.
Too many powers, much? For instance, why the hell does a succubus have telekinesis and teleportation as abilities and why are they immune to most harm?
Avatar SourceMainly because I don't want her to get squished by Gaodia.
The teleportation is mainly because I need an easy way for her to pop up anywhere.
To give you an honest opinion, I don't like the character. >_>
Adding in so many powers just makes things worse. And teleportation so that you can be anywhere sounds, frankly, annoying.
Avatar Source...Sorry. I wanted to play an antagonist. I guess I went a little overboard.
I'll keep her away from your characters if she's accepted.
... This is not a genre that is particularly conducive to antagonists. :|
Avatar Source...I just thought it'd be a nice change to have a succubus who actually was a bad person, since generally they seem to be going the way of vampires these days. I don't intend anything big for her. Just some general sleeping around, careless breaking of hearts... You know, just so we'd have the role of The Bitch filled.

She seems like she'd upstage my antagonistic character pretty easily.
You are not alone, and you are not strange. You are you, and everyone has damage. Be the better person.- Name: Saito Kaede/Kaede Saito.
- Age: 32
- Sexuality: Bi, with a preference for girls.
- Appearance: Saito is tall, flat chested, and looks about twenty. Combine all of this with obvious good looks and it's little surprise that the teacher, with her short bleached-blonde hair and numerous suits, is often mistaken for a particularly effeminate bishounen. Her eyes are often described as red pits—there's a reason she wears sunglasses so much.
- Personality: Saito is one of the two people who has raised Momoko from childhood and, as such, tends to act the same way, teasing and trolling her students. It's far from casual disdain of everyone, though, Saito is merely particularly spiky and hard to get close to.
- Skills: Saito has a vast knowledge of literature, both Japanese and foreign, as well as a fluent grasp of English that rarely gets put to use. Outside of the academic, she draws doujinshi in her free time, dabbles in the occult (thus far without any success), and spends a lot of time visiting shinto shrines. She's also fantastically skilled at removing people's bras.
- Biography: Born Saito Haruhiko, Saito was understandably rather unsettled mentally and things only got worse. Nevertheless, the young Saito proved a brilliant student, getting from a poor school to Tokyo university. Whilst there, a relationship was formed with a single mother earning a law degree. This relationship persisted through quite a lot, from bad experiences with traffic to sexual reassignment—the latter of which was impossibly successful, fanning a dwindling interest in the occult. Amazingly, Saito has held down a single job throughout this time.
... I felt that this was necessary.
Avatar SourceI don't know if you dislike that, or just felt like poining it out, but, well, the truth is... Your antagonistic character hasn't shown up yet... So, um, I kinda forgot she was waiting in the wings...
...Um...
So, what all would you like me to do to change Ai so she's more palatable? I can ditch the teleportation and telekinesis, but I want to keep the dream manipulation (and use the Astral projection as her means of doing so). Would that help?
...I never would have guessed some of those things about Saito...

But not the imperviousness? That's... still kind of a big problem, assuming Daltar gets the plot moving. Anyway... I'd advise you to be careful with the pheremones. People don't normally like mind control of their characters.
Of course you wouldn't guess some of those things. XD
Avatar SourceSaito is approved.
Also Ai is also approved since I do believe that Scrounge will be careful with all the points outlined by Raineh.
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.Okay... Nerfing her abilities a bit.
Telekinesis and teleportation are out, like I said. Pheremones remain, because they're not direct mind control (and as such, have the potential to backfire in any number of ways, as well as to not work at all, either because she screwed them up, or because, well, it's based on scent, and scent-based mind control isn't particularly effective on humans). The dream manipulation is also limited in its scope; she can influence dreams, but not carve them from whole cloth.
I was actually thinking about toning down the imperviousness to mere revival and regeneration, with no immunity to pain and without the ability to regrow lost parts (hence the winglessness.)
Daltar, do you approve of this nerfing?
Scent based... poor Nekomi. Cats have incredibly sensitive smell (they know if water is chlorinated, for a start). And her dreams are bad to start with... XD
Seems fine to me, and Daltar appears to be trusting my judgement...
Avatar Source...Well, since Ai's a succubus, her meddling would probably be a pleasant change from Nekomi's normal nightmares, since sex dreams are better than bloodbath dreams for most people. ...And I suspect that Nekomi is one of the cases where it'd be easiest for the pheremone tricks to backfire horribly, the other being Vega. Don't feel obliged to be gentle with her. ;)
With those changes (and possibly a some more complex concerns hidden under her selfishness, but I'm not sure yet), I'm sending her on in. Anyone want her?
Surprise us. For who you send her to, I mean.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Just not the baths, please. D:
Avatar SourceHmhm. If Ai manages to get away from Vega, you can send her over to Hikaru...
Avatar from http://x0whitelily0x.livejournal.com/7486.html- Name: Inokuma Aiko
- Age: 16(Though you definitely wouldn't be able to tell by looking at her)
- Sexuality: Lesbian. Extremely lesbian.
- Appearance: One of the most striking things about Aiko is her appearance. One of the first things you're likely to notice about her is the fact that her skin isn't just pale, it's white. Bleached, paper-white, as is her hair(which is in a long Hime Cut). The second thing is her eyes: They're red. For Aiko is albino, lacking any kind of pigment in her skin, eyes, or hair. The third thing, or possibly the first thing, is her height and appearance. Physically, Aiko is no older then ten. She has no breasts to speak of and the shape of her body is very underdeveloped. Even her facial features are childish. She's also very small, no larger then the average ten-year-old, as well. She is literally indistinguishable from a ten-year-old girl, to the extent that people often mistake her for a girl of that age, even after getting a close look at her.
- Personality: Aiko's levels of energy are astounding. She's usually on the move, and she's very difficult to tire out. She's also almost excessively cheerful, rarely losing her enthusiasm or happiness regardless of the situation. In some aspects, she's as immature as she looks, often pouting when things don't go her way and even throwing temper tantrums of a sort if she becomes extremely irritated. She often takes advantage of having not grown physically since age ten, using her appearance to get movie tickets for a lower prices and other underhanded tricks of that nature. Aiko isn't bothered by her complete lack of a chest, but she has an extreme appreciation for the breasts of other girls. She likes them. A lot. Skinship is one of her favorite passtimes. Aiko is also shy of the sun, and doesn't like going outside in the daytime, considering that her pale skin easily burns. She also has a passion for Elegant Gothic Lolita clothing.
- Skills: Super sunburn skills! Nothing of note, really.
- Biography: Aiko's life hasn't been particularly eventful. Born to a normal Japanese family, she grew up being slightly sheltered to avoid severe sunburns but was otherwise treated normally. She passed from elementary to middle school level slightly roughly, since all aspects of her physical growth seemed to have stopped, but she hasn't really minded that fact. Now in high school, her life is mostly normal aside from avoidance of the sun and frequently being asked "What's an elementary student doing here?"
Because girls who look like lolis but aren't lolis if you go by age and are kinda perverse are funny.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Does she really need to be an albino? We already have Yuki (or had, anyways. Where'd Pidgeon wander off to?) and it just seems a little weird for her to be both albino and perma-loli.
I purposefully wanted to make a visually quirky character, so I went for some of the... odder, for lack of a better word, traits I could put together.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Ah, gotcha. Still, albinos are like crazy rare. What are the odds of two of them going to the same school?
You could make Aiko a ganguro if you want her to really be visually quirky. :)
Also, is it just me, or does having an Ai and an Aiko leave as much opportunity for confusion as having a Hikari and a Hikaru? :)
Was Yuki a true albino, or just really pale?
I also kinda wanted to get the sensitive to sunlight angle in there, though I'm not entirely sure why.
Hm. Hopefully not, though I might change her name now. I liked the name Aiko for her, but I'll change it if it'll cause confusion.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Yuki was a true albino.
Confusion doesn't mean you need to change it. Confusion can be fun!
Nekomi just wouldn't take kindly to Vega's prodding.
