RIN EVANGELINA RIN, KOSAME-CHAN ► AGE: Seventeen, March 28th ► GENDER: Female ► SEXUALITY: Heterosexual ► NATIONALITY: Italian and Japanese ► FACTION: Mafioso ► OCCUPATION: High School Student ► personality TEXTEXTEXTIGNORETHIS ► PERSONALITY ► POSITIVE TRAITS Strong-Willed: Rin has always been a very proud and somewhat fierce individual. This drive to accomplish her goals and succeed means she's not the type to run or surrender easily, though it can be a double-edged sword. Independent: Growing up around assassins and the mafia, Rin learned very quickly to be self-sufficient and is quite independent for her age, capable of maturely and calmly handling any task or job presented to her. Highly Intelligent: She has proven to be quite ingenious over the years and something of a tactician on the battlefield. Combined with her resourceful nature and ability to quickly adapt, her cunning and wits have only helped her in moving up in the mafia world. Kindhearted: While Rin may come off as distant or cold at times, beneath the icy exterior, does have a softer and more demure side. Although, she would sooner bite off her own tongue than admit to it. Loyal: Rin may not always be the trusting individual, but when it comes to those who have earned her trust, she is fiercely loyal. She can be very protective and ruthless in her methods to secure their happiness and safety. ► NEGATIVE TRAITS Prideful: Due to her years of training, Rin can occasionally come off as quite arrogant, completely confident, especially in her skills as a swordsman and rarely allows anyone to make light without facing some consequence. Blunt: Rin rarely has any trouble expressing herself and is known for being something of a smart-mouth to boot, which in the past, has been known to get the girl into quite a bit of trouble. Cold: There's no getting around that Rin can normally be very distant towards others and somewhat cruel, but this seems to be more of a result of survival, rather than anything personal. Ruthless: Because Rin was raised to be an assassin, she bares few qualms about killing, especially in combat. In fact, while tries to keep these tendencies in check, Rin can occasion be quite merciless when dealing with an enemy. Hot Tempered: Something of an inherited trait, though Rin can normally maintain her temper. However, when someone manages to push her buttons or tick her off, she can become quite vocal about the matter and seems to have no problem settling the offense with violence. ► LIKES Music Ramen Fighting Swords Reading Chess The Rain ► DISLIKES Bugs Kids Spicy Food Hot Weather Cowards Weakness Stupidity ► misc info TEXTEXTEXTIGNORETHIS Background Born the granddaughter and heir of the Superbi family, Rin's parents tragically passed away when she was still young. She was eventually sent to live with her grandfather, growing up under the influence and shadow of the Varia when she was barely six. Rin started learning from the former Sword Emperor soon after and became a quick study in the art of the sword, though was also trained by the finest tutors available. Compelled by tales and stories, she swore to carry on the family's legacy as masters of swordsmanship, though few took her serious at the time. By the time she turned fourteen, she was a trained assassin and her talent among the Varia led many to believe that she would follow her grandfather's role as Vice-Captain of the Varia. However, Rin surprised everyone by turning down the offer and leaving Europe, headed east on a journey that would take her two years to complete. After claiming the official title as Sword Empress, Rin settled into Japan with the intent of completing her education and gaining her high school diploma. Unfortunately, the quiet life soon proved to much for the young Superbi and in her wanderings she stumbled across a local dojo. Unknown to Rin at the time, the place was the headquarters of the Spiaggia family and after issuing a traditional challenged, ended up dueling the head of the family. Despite not having lost over a hundred battles, her weapon was broken and Rin was forced to admit defeat. Out of respect for the young boss, Rin accepted his offer to become the Rain Guardian of the Spiaggia Family and has since settled into the role. Although, she has recently begun seeking out strong opponents in any attempt to best her old record and keep her skills sharp. Facts: Is the granddaughter of the First Sword Emperor, Squalo Superbi Phobia - Has a completely illogical fear of bugs and insects, or basically anything with more than four legs. Apparently, stems from a rather traumatic experience she had as a kid. ► inventory check "THE SWORD EMPRESS" ► AFFILIATION Rain Guardian of the Spiaggia Family ► ALIGNMENT Chaotic Good ► FLAME ATTRIBUTE & ABILITIES RAIN (PIOGGIA) FLAME: Ameashi (Passing Shower) [Type: Defensive| Duration: 4 posts| Recharge: 5 posts] This technique draws on the Tranquility of Rain Flame and begins with coating her sword with a thin layer of flames. The weapon is then drawn across in arch, releasing many small droplet-like flames that float in the air around Rin and across the battlefield, similar in appearance to will-of-the-wisps of Japanese legend. At most, it can cover an area with a distance limit of about 30 feet. However, these flames are intentionally spread out much like a web, causing an enemy's limbs or body to slow if they accidentally come into contact with them in their attempt to approach or attack her. For each flame one runs into, the more slowly one moves and presents an opening for an attack. These flames are stationary and once released cannot move, despite if the owner changes position, though they can cover different surfaces such as air and water. Rin is capable of moving through the field though, in the same way her opponent must, using her agility and flexibility to her advantage. The downside to this technique is that it can only cover an area of about 180 degrees around or in front of the user, and is easily negated if an enemy can get around behind them or is strong enough to force their way through flames. Rin's coverage is also limited, since the larger the area the more flames that are needed and the more energy that must be expended, causing her to tire or collapse as a result of the strain. It also requires a great deal of stamina and focus to maintain, meaning it is ineffective against enemies who can attack from a longer range or that can simply wait out the technique, as it takes time to recharge. ► BOX WEAPON Namigiri (Wave Cutter) The blade of this Muramasa katana has actually been altered to help Rin gather and channel her Rain Flames into the blade, using them to focus and strengthen her attacks. Its craftsmanship is impeccable and Rin has a habit of fawning over the weapon, often referring to Namgiri as her most prized possession. The weapon's is composed of two parts. First, is the sword which measures about twenty-eight inches in length, without the hilt. A round silver tsuba adorns the weapon, along with a hilt wrapped in black and white silk. The sheath is painted black, with few decorations as a weapon of assassination, aside from the white cord that wraps around the outer sheath to tie to one's belt. While the weapon doesn't appear any more dangerous than most swords, in Rin's hands the blade is something to be feared as she can demonstrate a great amount of agility and grace with the weapon. The downside, however, is that Namigiri, like many katana, is a close range weapon and isn't as effective in long range battles or opponents. Attacco di Squalo (Attack of the Shark) [Type: Offensive |Duration: 1 post |Recharge: 2 posts] This technique is rumored to have been passed down from her grandfather and begins with striking an opponent or solid object with powerful blow, which upon contact sends out an osculating wave which rings through an opponent’s body to stun the muscles. Like ripples through water, Rin uses this technique to cause temporary paralysis of limb and while not permanent is said to be the equivalent to the muscles being hit with a baseball bat. Rain Flames can also be added to the blade to enhance the numbing effects by traveling into an opponent’s body in the same manner, due to the Tranquility of Rain Flames. However, these effects can be negated to some degree by administering a lesser shock to the muscles or by holding out until the effects being to wear off in about 3-4 posts or around a few minutes. The main downside to this technique, however, is that is relies on one's ability to get close enough to an opponent to make contact. Of course, while the initial move is not fatal, it is often used to create an opening to deliver a finishing blow. ► BOX ANIMAL Gemelli Pioggia Squali (Twin Rain Sharks) When released, this box weapon appears as a pair of Blue Sharks, a species of requiem shark, known for its speed and tendency to hunt in packs. The two creatures are nearly identical, measuring some 6-7 feet in length and often have their bodies coated in Rain Flames, allowing them to swim freely through the air. Like many sharks, they possess a thick rough hide and appear blue-gray with a white underbelly. Because of their streamlined bodies they can move very quickly and are notorious for attacking an enemy from multiple sides. Pioggia Frenesia (Rain Frenzy) A move that occurs when the two sharks separate and swim apart from one another to encircle an enemy. They then charge forward at an opponent, each from a different direction. Their main intent is to either ram an enemy with their bodies, hitting them with a dose of Rain Flames or latching onto a target with their razor sharp teeth. Due to the Tranquility attribute of Rain Flames, the opponent rarely feels pain and can experience numbness, lethargic sensation in the limbs hit, or general weariness. However, aside from the bites, the sharks are not large enough to cause fatal injuries and this behavior seems to mirror a natural feeding frenzy by tearing away at an opponent, which earned the technique its name. The main downside is that this is a close range attack and physical contact must be made, which can place the box animals in some level of danger as well getting that close. ► EQUIPMENT Yakushin Ame (Onslaught Rain) The sword is not a box weapon, although due to the swords versatile nature, can be used either with or without the Dying Will Flames. In appearance, the sword is carried in sheath covered in dark blue lacquer that is polished to a shine. The hilt of the katana is wrapped in ray-skin with a similar deep blue silk wrap around the handle, along with a round tsuba with cherry blossom designs across it. The blade of the weapon demonstrates a unique hamon or ripple along the sword's edge, resembling sharp curved teeth, similar to those of a shark. The weapon means a great deal to Rin, as it was actually a gift from her boss. She tends to keep the weapon close at hand, often carrying the weapon in a black sword bag, similar to the ones used to carry kendo equipment to conceal it and prevent the weapon from drawing to much attention from the unsuspecting public. ► MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS Sunglasses, Backpack, Headphones, Cell-phone, Hooded Jacket, 1x Rain Ring and a Sword Cleaning Kit ► general information TEXTEXTEXTIGNORETHIS ► OTHER CHARACTERS 0 - None ► FACECLAIM ★ [b]vocaloid[/b], [i]yowane haku[/i] -- rin shirayama ► I, "RIN", AGREE that i have read the rules and other such items and will stick to them. i will keep to the minimum post size and stay active. i also understand that if i fail to stay active my character will be deleted and my account, if completely inactive, will be removed from the forums. ► CREDIT Original Credit for the application goes to Allie of On the Edge.
