...screw it. Here we go. Soldiers of Light Interest/Sign-Up Thread

[PhoenixFlame]

For once, I won't play Koyuki. Shock, horror.

Name: Izuna no Kami
Side: Light
Race: Hengeyokai, Kitsune
Age: Indeterminate, at least 900

Appearance: A beatiful young woman with waist-length blonde hair, wearing a white-and-red yukata-and-hakama skirt affair that is scandalously cut. Appearance of fox ears and one-to-nine tails depends on if she's hiding them or not.

Weapons: The Sorano Sekai, a hefty ashwood and brass naginata with steel blade. Also carries a tanto.

Special Skill:
Energy Projection; Izuna, like most kitsune, can project her ki given physical shape, though Izuna takes a more martial bent than most given her station as a celestial magistrate. Eminating from her tails, which is the seat of a Kitsune's power, she can project and control many ball-like flames of energy to use as projectiles, a shield, or to classically inflict terror or charm. With effort, the Sorano Sekai and ninefold rakshasa method, this can be magnified to tremendously destructive effects.

Howling Bone-Wolf Style; Izuna's martial style is fast, aggressive, and focused on speed and leverage to apply a polearm's damage to maximum effect against stronger and faster opponents by exploiting their movement and center of gravity. It stresses thrust-feints to vital areas to cover strikes elsewhere, and forgoing blocks to instead threaten the enemy's striking hand with impalement if they follow through. In combination with the above, and sequence based striking method, Izuna can alter her spirit orbs into vengeful phantasm wolves.

History: Humans often consider 'demons', and in particular Hengeyokai to be wicked, amoral, or at best immortal hooligans who have little respect for the celestial order. This could not be further from the truth, but indeed, there is much evidence it is so. Izuna is a celestial magistrate, tasked by Inari Okami, her creator, to oversee the worldly success and prosperity of the human race in regards to demonic incursion. As a kitsune, chief among hengeyokai and with a shrine of her own, she could claim terrestial godhood, although to what end this matters is questionable.

From a young age she has overseen the sanctity of Fushimi shrine in Kyoto, either from a great distance or personally, understanding that the spiritual purity of the capital was paramount to inspire people the empire over. At the age of nine hundred she was recalled to heaven to take part in the myriad intrigue of the celestial bureaucracy. With the return of Talkatz, she has been sent back from Takamagahara to see he does not rise again.

Though even so high a station cannot fully tame something so capricious. For her own part Izuna is fun-loving, laid back, and self-confident. Like all of her peers, she is promiscuous and uses her supernatural beauty to her advantage, seeing as it is part of her feeding strategy. Physically, Izuna loves sweets, particularly sweet breads with a side of fried rice.

Extra: Depending on what's more interesting, I might go for a Korean Kumiho and be evil. We'll see.
