Name: Shinchou Meguro
Race: Demon (Oni)
Class: Oni Delinquent/Scaredy-Cat Oni
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Aura: Pale Peach
Appearance: As a Japanese Ogre goes, Shin is on the small side. Alongside her classmates the 6'2" tall girl is rather well-built and more squared off than usual. Or rather, she was until she got her right arm chopped off. Still an intimidating figure, her onyx strands are less often in her preferred mohawk shape than before, whatever is left behind tends to hang a little past her shoulders. Depending on the personality, her true skin color will be a bright crimson or a cerulean blue with matching eyes. Framing her face are two large horns sprouting from her forehead and two modest tusks. Typically found wearing outfits comfortable for athletics.
Abilities:
Demonic Lightning Magic - Lightning magic, tainted by Shin's demonic nature and heritage. Wilder and more destructive, than pure lightning magic, spells drawn from this force are well suited for battle, but are not easily - or painlessly - applied to beneficent ends. Lacking a structured spell, Shin's control of this force is extremely limited.
- Fear Aura - Drawing on both demonic and natural forces, Shin can strengthen her presence in the immediate vicinity and create a frightening aura with little effort. This aura instills fear and intimidates anyone who looks at the oni and lasts until dispelled. If caught off-guard, the sudden wave of demonic power will stun onlookers upon activation. Moderate strain.
- Summon Club- A spell which allows Shin to summon and dismiss her kanabo in a flash of lightning. Normally stored in a small shrine in her room.
Shadow Technique - Oni are traditionally portrayed as brutes, but are also supposedly the original ninja - Shin's not so in-touch with this side of herself, but Chou is! She's a natural sneak and is an expert free-runner. She's not so good at the combat-side of being a ninja, alas.
- Human Disguise - A simple illusion which can be used by both Shin and Chou, allowing them to as a normal human. Almost always active, this spell causes their horns and tusks to vanish and makes their skin a normal color. This disguise can be broken, especially under exhaustion, but has little strain associated with it.
- Beneath Notice - A stealth technique that makes the user's shadow vanish, causing other's gazes to slide away from them, while making the user's steps both lighter and more surefooted - even on difficult terrain. them Middling magic and physical strain. Prevents the use of other magic while active.
Oni: Japanese Mountain Ogres by definition, Shin is part of an ancient race of Yokai that have been known to terrorize humans. Their lifespan is roughly twice that of human's and they age appropriately slower. Shinchou is carnivorous and can become ill if she eats too much 'rabbit food,' though vegetables are fine in small amounts. Muscle tone is easier for oni to develop and keep in addition to simply being stronger than humans and many other races. Their skin, hair and eyes are naturally bright in color, with darker and more intense hues viewed as more attractive. These colors seem to reflect personality, though it's not sure which is reflecting on the other. Oni will also show a variety of horn and tusk types, helping to identify their genetic line and region. All oni dislike the smell of sardines and find soy products repulsive. Shin specifically has a green tea phobia.
- Strength Surge -Sending a surge of demonic energy into her muscles, Shin strengthens her body beyond normal means in order to outmaneuver or overpower her opponent. Highly versatile, but puts great strain on her body. The outer-limits of this ability are easily enough to demolish stone.
- Demon Smith: Growing up Shin was instructed at the forge on the properties of the metals and the importance of being spiritually bonded with their craft. Though by no means a master, the training still influences her methods - and her grades. She puts extensive effort and care into each piece, as she believes it will charge the object with her energy. Recycled materials are more valuable than others, as they accumulate their energy over time.
Brute Strength- Fighting comes as naturally to an oni as breathing, their own style develops as they grow and mature. Shin's style is very brutal and full of cheap shots to the head and vitals, but will sometimes show a little more technique.
Dissociative Identity - The disorder is not entirely like DID in humans, having a visible physical effect on the oni. Shin or Chou alternate control over the body, though are still the same person. Just don't tell them that. Their abilities change slightly according to whichever personality is active.
Bio: An oni with a long list of Expulsions from various schools, the delinquent was placed in Amaranth as a forceful measure in an attempt to get her to behave. The carnivore has a new set of rules here and for once has been put in her place amongst potential food. The normally proud creature has been slightly skiddish as of late and seems to be recovering from the loss of limb.
Clubs: Out of the gates Shin found her strength and freedom in Mixed Martial Arts. Since the loss of limb she is recovering, but still attempting to train with a single hand. She also participates in metalworking with some assistance, uses Swimming to maintain herself and has been attempting to get into meditation. Chou prefers the Book Club, but due to her lack of screentime, she rarely gets to participate.

Relationships:
Azure "Kit" Fabre - Shin's Kitsune friend and roommate. She hasn't treated him well in the past, but is coming around and making an effort now. DM controlled!
Teanne - Shin's other roommate. The one she is terrified of. May or may not be a robot princess. Uses Tea as her primary weapon. DM controlled!
Melissa Curphy - Metalworking Professor. Has taken quite a shine to Shin and her passion, as well as Chou's designs. Probably a more sane Professor than Landry
Sao - Shinchou's closest friend, one of the few shared by both personalities. The undine is a great healer and is part of the super secret No Dianas Allowed group Shin is in.
The Librarian - Chou is on decent terms with the receptionist that Shin ticked off. Not much communication going on, but it's notable that she doesn't drive the oni out of the library when Chou is active.
Deimos Whelan - Assigned partner in metalsmithing to assist the handicapped ogress. These two aren't particularly close at this moment.
