Name: Akki Kurohyou
Gender: Female
Age: Roughly 200; appears 17
Race: Panther hanyou
Status: Wanderer
Relationships: No
Appearance:
Natural- Even though Kurohyou is two hundred years old in human years, she appears to be at least seventeen. She stands about five feet and six inches, eight inches including the ears. Her skin is milky white, but she also has various demon markings all along her body. All the markings are black, except for one under her left eye that is green. Her eyes are extremely bright green, like the brightest emeralds. Her hair is long, ending below her waist line, and wavy; her hair is colored darker than the darkest night shadow. A single lock in her hair is a deep violet, which she has braided and held together by a silver clasp.
Her body is lean, yet very muscular. She has long limbs and a short torso. Her face is ovular and she has narrow eyes with thin elegant brows and long lashes. Her lips are naturally black. Her scent is that of rain and silver. Her clothes smell of the forest, fibers, and dust.
Panther- Like every panther, she has a dark coat with black spots. She stands about waist high to the average man at the shoulder, and about chest high at the head. Her coat is very dark and one would have to look extremely close to see the spots (though she would probably bite the person's head off if they got that close). Beneath her ebony coat rippling muscles are visible. Her eyes remain the same bright emeralds.
Human- Her creamy, pale skin darkens slightly and her long, wavy, thick hair dulls slightly, becomes straight, and thins out. Her eyes change to a dull brown and her lips transform from black to slight peach color. Kuro looses her demon markings, tail, cat ears, claws, and fangs. Her features and body structure remain the same, though, just less demonic.
Personality: Panthers prefer to wander alone. So does Kurohyou. Most of the time she is quiet and harsh, though not all-together cruel. If someone intrigues her she will often act playful and curious to draw out secrets, if she can. Don't try talking to her for very long because her gaze will wander and she'll forgot everything you said almost instantly. Once befriended she is often loyal, though sometimes her loyalty can waver. When angered she will most likely maim the person who angered her, but she won't kill unless she has to. Also she tries not to interact with humans unless it is necessary (or if she is curious). Kuro never backs down from a challenge or a battle, finding it cowardly to run. Unless, of course, she is human. Then she will only focus on surviving (until dawn, that is). Despite her harder personality she's just a kitten at heart (=^-^=) and acts like one around those she trust.
The hanyou has follows only the law of Akki (which is more of a 'strict code') and no other. She doesn't care for others - except any who befriend her (currently no one) - and doesn't mind physically or emotionally harming someone. Almost always she will act for herself and no one else.
Past: The young demoness was defeated. She couldn't fight anymore. The only thing left to do was flee. And that is exactly what Hitori did. In her demonic panther form she turned and ran away from the large group of demon slayers. The panther demon fled as far as she could and found herself at the outskirts of Re'vek. There she collapsed, shifting into the form of a young woman with pointed ears. Lovely she was, though probably not at that moemnt. Her sleek, black hair was matted with dried blood: hers and that belonging to a few slayers. Her far skin was scarred and bloody while her kimono - once elegant - was torn and matted with more blood. It was here that the young blacksmith named Shinin found her. It was a mere coincidence - the demoness had attempted to flee for her life and ran blindly while the blacksmith was merely heading home, using the same route he used every night. Needless to say after Shinin found the young woman everything fell into place. Just not perfectly...
Shinin took the young youkai to his home and there tended to her. She awoke after a few days, almost completely healed. There she remained for about a month and during that time Hitori fell in love with the human that had helped her, and apparently he returned the feeling. After Hitori left she always returned to see him. Sometimes she'd be gone a day or two, sometimes a week or two. It seemed she could never stay away for too long. A year later Hitori was pregnant. Good news indeed. Except the other villagers knew, too, and were afraid. A bunch of panther demons in their village? So they chased Hitori out and killed Shinin.
Nine months later seven panther cubs were born. Da-ku was the first born - a strong male with leadership traits. Karen was second born - a timid young girl who never left her mother's side. Analise came just after Karen and both were inseperable, although Analise was more outgoing. Fourth was Aneki - an isolated young boy, but just as timid as his sister, Karen. Then Shiryou, yet another male who seemed to be a bit too hyper and loving. The sixth child was Dai and last, but not least, Kurohyou, the seventh. The first five shildren all had the same basic features: black hair with a single purple lock and dark brown eyes. Dai and Kuro had black hair with the Akki trademark (a purple lock of hair), but Dai's eyes were a golden yellow while Kuro's were a vibrant green. The two younger siblings were extremely close, neither really thinking of why. Maybe it was because Dai was only thirty seconds older than Kuro. Maybe it was because their eyes were so different from teh Akki clan's. Or maybe both. There was the possiblity that the reason went deeper. Though it is still a mystery.
The cubs were about ten when it was time for another hunting lesson. Even though they were all the same age, Da-ku looked a year older then Karen, Karen a year olders than Analise, et cetera. Da-ku was already an expert hunter, while the others lagged behind a bit. Mostly Dai and Kuro. The two were tossingly and roughly palying. Every so often their mother, Hitori, would have to call them or send Da-ku to fetch them. Neither learned their lesson. Deep into the forest of Sparinik the siblings were crouched and ready to pounce on a herd of deer. Except Dai and Kuro. Both were rolling around, nipping and clawing at each other. Dai managed to throw Kuro off - and into a thorn bush. The female cub was trapped while Dai, unaware, ran off.
Biting and clawing the female began to untangle herself from the bush. All of the sudden she heard a loud, panther screech belong to Da-ku and a roar from her mother. Kurohyou worked harder to free herself. More screeches, roars, and shouts made by humans reached her sensative ears. Finally she was able to pull out and then raced to where he family was. Before her lay her entire family - her mother Hitori and her six siblings. All dead. Looking up from the bodies her terrified gaze landed on a group of demon slayers, drenched in the blood of the Akki clan. Kuro remembered a sudden rage that consumed her, her vision sharpening and her bones cracking as she began to change and then...nothing.
When the child awoke she was the one covered in blood. Not her family's, the slayers. It didn't take long for her to figure out what happened: she killed the slayers in revenge. One of Akki's laws was to not kill unless for survival. Her mother had often told her that breaking his laws would result in being cursed. And Kuro was sure she was cursed. The young hanyou readied herself to leave. And sicne that day she has had horrid nightmares: her killing the slayers and, to make it worse, her family waking up. Not really dead but just mortally wounded and unable to get far. In her dreams they blamed her for abandoning them. It took a few years, but she learned to ignore the dreams and moved on with her life. Though not completely. She still has the deepest hatred for demon slayers and will kill any who oppose her without hesitation. Another reason she strays from humans.
Abilities:
Default Abilities:
Strength: Kurohyou, as a hanyou, has the strength of at least ten men while in her natural form. However, while she is the the shape of a panther, she has twice the strength of that.
Speed: Being a feline, her speed is greater than any human's or non-demonic animal. She can probably run at about fifty to sixty miles per hour in her natural form. As a panther her speed is increased by about ten miles per hour.
Senses:
Sight - Kuro's eyesight is very defined. She can see farther and sharper than any human. Also, she has nocturnal vision. Bright light (sun-ish) hurt her eyes
Hearing - Like all animal hanyou's, Kurohyou can hear the faintest whisper. Especially loud noises hurt her ears, though she could even hear a leaf fall...which gets annoying to her.
Smell - Her sense of smell is not as powerful as a dog or wolf demon's, but she can still smell things humans cannot (glass, etc.
Battle Abilities:
Night Strike: In both her natural and panther form she can seemingly disappear into the shadows and then strike her opponent unseen. She is not quite invisible, but merely is able to blend in with a shadow exceptionally well. She rarely uses this, though. (Sorry if this is vague, it is hard to explain.)
Crimson Rage: Once she becomes angry enough, her body will automatically transform into a larger version of a panther. She will seemingly lose all sense of humanity and attack fiercely and mercilessly until her opponent is dead. However, she will usually return to normal once her opponent has fallen. During this stage, she can feel no pain and no sorrow, only anger and blood lust. She has used this once and only once when she was ten (see history).
Another note: In this stage she grows up to fifty-feet in the form of a panther. Her eyes are pure green (no whites) with a silver slitted pupil. She has three silver spikes on her brow, two above her eyes and then one larger one in the middle of her forehead. Then she has silver spikes trailing down along her spine, ending at her tail (a spiked tail, meaning she has silver spikes all around it). And finally one at the knee/elbow of each leg is one silver spike. (I'll get an image of this up soon.)
Transform: Kurohyou can change from her natural form (hanyou) to a panther. Not a large panther, just a regular-sized panther with enhanced abilities.
Control: When not in Crimson Rage, she can willingly turn into a full youkai and control her youkai blood, then change back. Unlike Crimson rage she can think clearly and feel emotions, but can't feel much pain.
Silver Shadow: When in Crimson Rage, she can summon the energy of Akki, her onisuki ancestor, and direct it to her enemy. It depends on the amount of energy she summons on how much damage it will cost. If she uses too much of the energy it will wear her out.
