[Nukdae]

Puppet:
Sesshoumaru

Cursed:
Male

Rotations:
A good hundred years but appears 20ish.

Form:
Inu Youkai

Class:
Lord of the West

Destruction:
Staff of two Heads: Locates his father's grave, can fire streams of flame and generate floods of water. The staff is usually held by his assistant Jaken. It features an old man's and a woman's head. They can speak when the staff is used.

Mokomoko: is the "fur 'sash'" on Sesshoumaru's shoulder that can stretch to long distances. He uses every once in a while, he once used its to grab InuYasha. It can be extended to great lengths and used to whip or constrict people.

Tenseiga : The Tenseiga can revive the dead and heal the living. It does this by letting Sesshoumaru see the pall-bearer demons that take away the souls of the dead so that he may destroy them with Tenseiga. It usually does not show this happening. In extreme cases, the Tenseiga also protects Sesshoumaru from potential lethal attacks. When in use, the Tenseiga has a blue aura. It was another of the swords fashioned by Totosai from InuYasha's and Sesshoumaru's father's fangs. But it doesn't quench Sesshoumaru's thirst for power from Tetsusaiga.

Bakusaiga : Created from Sesshoumaru's own body and made just for him, the Bakusaiga is his new and final weapon. It came from Sesshoumaru's body attached to his finally regenerated arm. It is not an heirloom or crafted sword but is created from Sesshoumaru's own body as a manifestation of his own demonic power, and thus truly his own. His success in abandoning his interest in stealing Tetsuseiga as a quick path to power resulted in the development of his own inner strength, in the end surpassing even that of his father.

Powers/Abilities/Talents:
Poison Claw: Sesshoumaru's claws release deadly acidic poison which can melt flesh. Sometimes he uses it like InuYasha uses his Sankon Tessou attack, but he can also use it to spray venomous acid from his fingertips.

Whip of Light: Can generate a thin whip-like strand of energy from his fingertips that can slice through almost anything.

Decomposition: Bakusaiga appears to manifest a form of corrosive wave attack, an interesting manifestation of Sesshoumaru's own power of corrosive poisoning as a sword attack. (Miroku comments that Naraku would suffer the same affliction should he absorb any demon wounded by Bakusaiga) If there are any significant limits to the effects of the corrosive power they are not known - even the fully transformed body of Naraku was unable to stop or quench the effect and only avoided it by abandoning pieces to destruction. Only the Shikon no Tama itself withstood any Bakusaiga attack, and it appeared to be immune to essentially all demonic attacks of any nature.

Destructive Wave: The Bakusaiga's destructive wave allows Sesshoumaru to easily dispatches thousands of demons. If there is an upper limit to the strength of this wave it is not known.

Flight: Ability to hover in the sky or generate a sparkling dust cloud to ride on.

Poison Immunity: Sesshoumaru is immune to all kinds of poison.

Super Endurance: Sesshoumaru is able to resist pain better than most demons.

Super Speed: Ability to move at blinding speed in short bursts, Sesshoumaru can move faster than the eye can see, both on land and through the air. When he does he leaves behind a fast-moving blur. He can also instantaneously close long distances without being detected by others.

Super Strength: Sesshoumaru possesses physical strength far beyond that of a normal demon; he was able to easily lift InuYasha by the throat into the air with one hand in one of their earlier encounters. In addition, Sesshoumaru was seen carrying the boulder-sized demon head of Goshinki in one hand with little to no effort. Sesshoumaru has Herculean strength, even with only one arm; his strength with only one arm is double that of InuYasha's full strength; InuYasha's strength allows him to lift a 9 to 10 ton boulder using one arm with little effort, so Sesshoumaru would naturally be capable of lifting double that or far more with the same amount of effort.

Teleportation: Ability to morph into a ball of energy and move over great distances over a short amount of time.

Psionics: Though Sesshoumaru's psionic capabilities have never been specifically quantified, he has demonstrated powerful feats of both telepathy and telekinesis in both the anime and manga. Examples of such being his ability to mentally levitate and fling skulls at InuYasha and Kagome. As well as his ability to overwhelm Goshinki's powerful telepathic aura in order to claim Tokijin as his own.

Taiyoukai: As the descendant of a great dog demon lord, naturally Sesshoumaru is a far superior youkai with heightened senses, intelligence and strength. While he appears to be an elf-eared human bearing splendid clothing and armor most of the time; he can transform into his true form at will, which is that of a gigantic acid-breathing flying canine with fluffy white fur.

Immortality: Being a demon, Sesshoumaru does not suffer from old age the way humans do. He appears to be a young man in his 20s. However, he has been around for at least a few hundred years.

Regeneration: An ability that allows Sesshoumaru to seemly replace limbs lost in battle and recover from similar severe damage. This ability was obtained once Sesshoumaru found the necessary strength to summon Bakusaiga, he not only regrew his lost limb but healed from severe wounds inflicted earlier.

Attitude Check:
A very powerful demon lord (daiyoukai, literally great youkai); Sesshoumaru often appears aloof and indifferent, and rarely shows any emotions other than slight annoyance or dissatisfaction. He thinks highly of himself and is cruel to others, though he is protective of his minions. He cares little for others, and thinks that humans, while at times amusing, are merely mortal and ultimately expendable. With the ambition to walk the path of conquest, he desires to become stronger, (although he is incredibly strong already, possibly as strong or stronger than Naraku) even at the expense of others. He believes that struggle is the only way for survival. He especially despises InuYasha, his half-human/half-demon (hanyou) brother, who wields the powerful Tetsusaiga, a sword made from one of their father's fangs that can kill 100 youkai in one strike.

Mirror:
His garments and armor have a decidedly mainland influence, including his waist sash and pointed boots. Sesshoumaru has a Prussian blue crescent on his forehead. He also has two red scars on each cheek and on the sides of his wrists as well as one red stripe on each of his eye lids. By default this is Sesshoumaru's preferred form.

Sesshoumaru's armor includes a spiked pauldron that covers his left shoulder attached to the upper section of his cuirass. When damaged, his armor automatically regenerates itself using youki. Both his armor and his long flowing sash have a decided "Mainland" influence, as opposed to the customary Japanese armor and Obi. His Kimono is mostly white with a red honeycomb and flower crest at the collar and sleeves. He wears Sashinuki Hakama, which are gathered at the ankles producing the "ballooning" effect. His footwear consists of flat pointed ankle-high boots

His true form is that of a giant white dog with markings similar to those he has in his human form. At that time, the whites of his eyes become red and the pupils and irises purple.The features and markings on his face begin to elongate and become fierce in detail. A reddish pink vapor swirls around him to signal his transformation. In this form, he brandishes white fur and long ears. The moko-sama 'worn' around his neck becomes part of his fur as a large, billowing collection of fur. He is often seen snarling whilst drooling highly acid saliva.

Return to the Past:
Sesshoumaru began his quest for the Tetsusaiga by searching for the place that a short poem indicated it would be. Sesshoumaru's father was a very wise and a great dog demon lord. He hid it well from both brothers for quite some time and prevented it from being misused by casting a barrier around the sword so that a full-blooded youkai or one without compassion for humans cannot hold or wield the Tetsusaiga. It is for this reason that Sesshoumaru is unable to hold or wield the sword. However, even knowing that he cannot touch the sword, Sesshoumaru initially desired to take it from InuYasha, as he felt it rightfully belonged to him and not his hanyou sibling. For this reason he fought with InuYasha in their father's burial grounds and by chance, InuYasha transformed the blade for the first time and hacked off Sesshoumaru's left arm. After he obtained the Tokijin, he seems to have lost interest in the Tetsusaiga.

He is followed by his minion, a kappa youkai named Jaken, and later by a human orphan named Rin who Sesshoumaru brought back to life, using Tenseiga, for unknown reasons. (At that time, he claims to be 'testing' the sword, but it is unclear whether that is his true intention.) He is also followed by a pet that looks like a two-headed dragon, named Ah-Un that often accompanies Rin.

Although Sesshoumaru maintains a cool, uncaring exterior, the presence of Rin at his heels is proof of his growing compassion. He not only tolerates a human, but also acts in an extremely protective manner towards her and rushes to her aid when she gets in trouble. Naraku later had Kagura kidnap Rin as a get-away plan in his attempt to absorb the body and the full youkai power of Sesshoumaru. Naraku's plan failed and Sesshoumaru was fired up and wanted to go after Naraku, who was trying to escape, but upon hearing that Rin was in danger, Sesshoumaru let him go and came to the aid of Rin. Subsequently he decided to kill Naraku as well.

[Nukdae]

Puppet:
Kyr

Passed Down:
Rayvin

Alias:
Chaos

Cursed:
Female

Rotations:
About 400 years (looks 20ish)

Form:
Psychic Youkai

Class:
Mercenary
[will do any kind of job (from babysitting and animal care-taking to bodyguard and assassinations) as long as she gets paid]

Destruction:
Two knives: Kyr is very skilled in close range combat, using two sharp knives as her weapon of choice. The hilt is red and shaped like a dragon, with no guard. The blade is black. She often coats it with a mild poison. [picture]

Powers/Abilities/Talents:
Rayvin Clan Curse: (refer to history) Can control muscle functions - such as causing cramps - and in a way, inflict pain on the target. Since the heart is a muscle, Kyr can kill, but usually chooses to use her knives. She needs direct eye contact for only a second to use her power, thereafter, as long as she can see skin, she can still inflict pain. The downside is that she can not move very far when her power is activated, so she tends to be vulnerable during that time. It seems that while she controls muscles in someone else, she can barely control her own.

Blind Combat: She can fight skillfully without the use of sight. She only needs her hearing and "sixth-sense" to predict and counter moves. So she can fight blindfolded or in complete darkness. Though, with her sight, she is even deadlier.

Close-Range Combat: As stated before, Kyr is very well skilled in close-range combat. She uses her knives to hack and slash at her opponent, preferring quick and deadly cuts causing instant defeat/death or making her opponent bleed out until they can't fight anymore. When she is caught at a distance, she usually uses her knives as throwing knives, though her aim is not as good, and the knives are not made for throwing.

Speed/Agility: She has better and faster reflexes than most of her kind.

Endurance: She tends to be able to run/fight/do activities for long periods of time before she even starts to sweat. She has an amazing resistance to pain and fatigue, though she usually ends up collapsing from exhaustion since she does not know when to stop.

Sensitive Senses: She has heighten sense of hearing, smell, and a sixth sense she uses to predict her opponents' moves, though not always accurate.

Attitude Check:
Although she can be absent-minded at times, when she sets a goal or is given a job, she does whatever is necessary to complete it. Her indifference to others and her surroundings can sometimes make it seem like she is cold and unfriendly, but once well acquainted, she usually becomes protective.

Kyr doesn't care for much, seemingly emotionless and fearless. She is sometimes seen as a traitor for when she is hired to do a job, she doesn't care who she is working for, whether their intentions are good or evil, as long as she gets paid, she'll do whatever is asked of her. Even though, she is not greedy.

She likes having things to do that entertain her and keep her interest, but she often gets bored easily when she has no motivation to continue. She's always looking for a rival, feeling competitive and compelled to find something to protect or to earn.

Once one does manage to hold her interest and become friends with her, she is a loyal and powerful ally.

Her absent-mindedness tends to cause her to lose her sense of direction, so she gets lost easily. She is not good with maps or verbal directions, either. But she is usually able to find her way around... eventually.

She likes cats. A lot.

Mirror:
Hair - Blonde/yellow
Eyes - Blue-gray
Skin - Pale
Height - 5'7"
Clothes - (Usually black, sometimes gray colors) Wears a long cloak - with hood - and a cloth mask to cover the bottom half of her face.
Other - She usually has a gray cloth covering her eyes as a blindfold.

Return to the Past:
Kyr was born in the now long forgotten Rayvin Clan.

The Rayvin Clan was known for a "curse"; that manifested differently in each member at a certain age, giving them a unique and usually deadly power. Although, it is not actually a curse, it was called this when the first creators of the Rayvin Clan met a witch who gave them special abilities. And anything from a witch was considered a curse. Kyr's father could put people to sleep for any interval of time, he could even put them in a coma. Her mother could control people's bodies, as long as she had eye contact.

For a while, Kyr lived peacefully in her Clan, cared for by her parents and other Clan members. But soon, a rival clan, the Devenza Clan, began to want to use the Rayvin Curse for their own purposes. The Devenza Clan began kidnapping the Rayvin children, at an age before the curse manifested. Many parents fought them off, but many more were killed defending the youths.

The Devenza Clan was attempting to make the Rayvin Curse manifest in a way they wanted in the youths they kidnapped, to create the perfect weapon to take over other clans and territories.

Kyr's own parents were slaughtered before her eyes when members of the Devenza Clan tried to take her.
Kyr refused to cooperate with her kidnappers, and ended up being tortured into submission, but she never yielded.

When Kyr's curse finally manifested (described in Powers/Abilities/Talents), she killed everyone around her. Her curse allowed her to cause pain, and sometimes so much pain, that death occurs. She tortured them as they had tortured her. But, eventually and quickly, they wised up and managed to blindfold her. If she can't see her target, her curse has no effect.

They negotiated after a few more deaths: She would do as they said as long as she had the freedom to come and go as she pleased. They agreed.

The first place she went was to her former home in the Rayvin Clan lands, only to find the remained of her Clan massacred. It was a bloody scene of destruction, not a living creature in sight. Kyr vowed to take revenge.

She cooperated with the Devenza Clan, seemingly a broken servant, but she secretly trained her mind and body whenever she could. She taught herself to use a sword a first, but found it too bulk and switched to knives. She also trained herself to fight without her sight, having to be kept blindfolded while in Devenza lands.

Once she was old enough, once she had fully mastered her own fighting techniques and skills, she left and did not return to the Devenza Clan. They came after her, trying to force her back, but she killed them effortlessly. When they stopped sending people after her, she returned to the Devenza Clan lands and began to kill any who smelled of Devenza, even the children. She showed no mercy, not once using her curse, and fighting blindfolded.

When she finally came upon the leader of the Devenza Clan - the one who ordered the death of her parents and the slaughter of her clan - only then did she use her curse. She tortured the leader. He never gave in, though, taunting her and insulting her. Once Kyr got annoyed enough, she killed him and left the now empty Devenza Clan to rot.

She began her mercenary duties when she ran out of money and a weak youkai asked her to protect him and that he would pay her well. She obliged and later became a well known mercenary. She was often given assassination jobs, eventually earning the name Chaos, which she now goes by, slaughtering powerful youkai, taijiya, and clans. She kills ruthlessly, unless the target can pay her a higher sum.

[Nukdae]

Puppet:
Atsune

Passed Down:
Kenkyusha

Alias
Atsu, Keni

Cursed:
Female

Rotations:
20

Form:
Human

Class:
Druid

Destruction:
Longbow - She is not very good with it, only carries it around for protection.

Powers/Abilities/Talents:
Animal Empathy: She can communicate with animals with her thoughts.

Pyrokinesis: She can control fire with her mind. If she gets upset or stressed out, or extra emotional, sometimes things - or people - will randomly burst into flames.

Attitude Check:
She is very care-free and likes to travel. She can be forgetful from time to time. Although it seems she likes meeting new people and tries to help others out whenever needed, she really hates humans and wishes that she was not one herself. She has no compassion toward others, though she is very good at acting like she cares.

Atsune only finds comfort in the company of her animal companions.

She can sometimes be over-emotional, which is not good when it comes to her pyrokinesis. So she often sets things on fire without meaning to. She usually takes what she wants, and if she can not have it... she'll probably set it on fire.

She is not a very good fighter.

Mirror:
Hair - Black, slightly past shoulder-length, feathery
Eyes - Light brown
Skin - Pale
Height - 5'4"
Clothes - She wears a light blue tunic and white shorts, with white boots with a light blue swirling design with matching arm warmers
Other - She sometimes wears a gray cloak.

Return to the Past:
When she was little, she was often made fun of because she was often seen talking to animals. She got so upset that she ended up setting one of the boys' hair on fire, and causing the rest of the village to fear her. That was when she found out she had the power of pyrokinesis. Because she was generally avoided in her village, she grew to hate everyone. But, she still acted nice toward anyone who did not know of her power.

Her parents did not mind, and only treated her as they had before, but they did make sure not to upset her and ended up spoiling her.

As soon as she was old enough, she left the village she had grown up in to travel. Which is when she met and befriended Sora, the crow.

Other:
Pets:
Sora - A crow. He is Atsune's pet and scout. Is very protective of Atsune.

[Nukdae]

Puppet:
Youko Kurama
Shuichi (human)

Passed Down:
Minamino (human)

Cursed:
Male

Rotations:
Several hundred; Looks 20ish
18 (human)

Form:
Kitsune Youkai

Class:
Rouge / Theif

Destruction:
Rose whip - Kurama's signature weapon, where he uses his demon energy to grow a rose from its seed state to its flowering state and then into a long thorny whip that's capable of cutting even through steel. This is his favorite weapon.

Seeds - He carries various seeds hidden on him (mainly braided into his hair) that he uses to create a variety of deadly weapons, such as the Rose Whip. Some of these seeds are also seeds of deadly demon plants that he can manipulate to do his bidding.

Seed of the Death Plant - When pressed for time in a battle, he likes to embed this seed into his opponents bloodstream without them realizing it. This is a small seed that Kurama plants in his opponent's body and can be manipulated using his demon energy. After it has had enough time to secure its roots within the victim's body, the seed immobilizes, then kills the victim.

Death Tree - He can summon this demonic plant from a seed. This is a carnivorous tree with an acidic saliva that strikes anything that moves.

Powers/Abilities/Talents:
Plant Manipulation - All plant-life can be bent to his will, even demonic plants. He can take a harmless blade of grass and change it into a sharp and deadly sword, a simple stalk of wheat can be changed into a spear, ect.

Rose Whiplash - Kurama swiftly slashes the whip in multiple directions.

Thorn Wheel - Kurama draws the Rose Whip and swings it around him in a circle, as rose petals scatter around and stun his opponents, while the wheel created from the whip unleashes cresent-shaped energy blades.

Petals and Thorns - He creates a whirlwind of rose petals that materializes in the palm of Kurama's hand and then swirl around him. If an opponent/attacker gets within a certain range, the petals attack and rip them to shreds.

Intelect - He is able to analyze other people, figure out their strengths and weaknesses and use it against them. He prefers logic and strategy over brute force. While he is in the Modern Era, he is top of his class, and well liked, especially by the female students. His favorite subject is Biology.

He can shift from his human to his youkai form at will, though while he is human, his powers and senses are weaker. He prefers to stay human while in the Modern Era, and youkai while in the Feudal Era.

Attitude Check:
Youko is cold and cunning with a wry sense of humor. He is often the calm strategist, preferring to analyze the opponent's fighting style before attacking. However, this usually ends with him being the most seriously injured. In the end, though, Kurama always has a trick up his sleeve to clinch the match.
In his human form, he exhibits a much nicer personality, though when he is faced with danger he becomes cutthroat and merciless. In contrast, he cares deeply for his friends and family, and will sacrifice his life to protect them.

Mirror:
In his human form, Kurama has bright green eyes, as well as long and vibrant-red hair, with two segments on either shoulder and the rest on his back. He often wears a reddish-purple jacket and pants. While in this form, he is occasionally mistaken for being a woman. While in his Youkai form, he has golden eyes, prominent silver fox ears, as well as a silver tail and long, silver hair. He wears a toga and martial arts shoes. In his fox form, his fur is bluish-silver with black points. He has five tails. [pictures below!]

Return to the Past:
Youko Kurama was a notorious thief, though now, he is still a thief, just not as well known, due to his disappearance.

While making an escape from a dangerous heist, he is mortally wounded in a fight with the guards. He was able to use his last bit of energy to take a spirit form, but somehow he ended up in the future. Desperate to find a way back, he needed a body, so he planted his spirit into Shiori Minamino's unborn child. He only planned on staying human for ten years to regain his strength, but grew to love his mother, and stayed so he wouldn't hurt her. He eventually found a way to return to his time, but prefers to stay with his human mother. Occasionally, he makes trips back to the Feudal Era.

Other:
It is thought that the number of tails he possesses is not based on power, but rather, age. Though, it is uncertain as to whether he gains a tail every 100 years or 1000 years. So his true age is pretty much unknown.

He can travel to and from the Modern Era, which he only visits to check up on his human mother.
