Note: Umi lives in a world where humans and anthros and what people call "mythological" creatures exist and can interbreed. Basically a backstory for her world would be something like, the world had it's cataclysmic decimate the population of humans episode (Mother Earth just said FEH!) The energy that was released allowed the old creatures to come back to it and they all learned to live, if not in perfect harmony, at least it's no worse than what we have today. I don't think I'll be using her in anything other than the Battle Arena. Unless someone finds a place for her, she sticks to her own reality. She has three main forms, "Normal" Umi, "Human" Umi, and "Oni Umi". Skin/scales: Normal; dark lilac and lavenders. Like a good Amythest crystal. Her scales are small, fingernail sized for most, and the size of a baby's fingernails on the tender-er spots. They're almost like Pangolin scales, as they attach at a root in a folicle like a hair, and at rest they overlap, but if she gets goosebumps, they will stand on end. Her belly scales are a pale pink, unless excited (she blushes) or about to flame, when they get darker, nearly red. 'Human'; Pale. If she wears makeup, it's ivory all the way. You can even see tracery of blue where her veins pass close under her skin. Oni; Scales are the same kind, but the color is closer to midnight purple. Her belly scales are always red. Features: Normal; She has stripes on her arms and thighs in blue, and speckles like some lizards on her back sides, and face. Characteristic five spots under each eye. She also has hooves that are pearlescent white, and horns which are glasslike. The horns change shape with her moods, but then, everything does with her. Her tail is long, slender, and has a spade that changes with her moods as well. 'Human'; She has a tail with a foof at the end like a lion, the foof matches her hair-color. Oni; Her horns are obsidian and semi-transparent, her hooves go oil-slick black, she has talons on her wings that are also black. Her tail is basically the same as normal, but it's tip is more like a scorpion's tail. Hair color: Normal; Golden reddish blonde. 'Human' form; fades from purple, to white, yellow, red, brown then black. Oni; More red, but still blonde. Eyes: Normal; Usually shades of Yellow and orange. Goes red when about to 'flame'. 'Human'; Blue Oni; Blood red Wings: Normal; Invisible unless she's concentrating hard, even then they're like shimmering, oscilating-colored glass. 'Human'; Rainbow and bird-like, if she has them. Oni; Classic draconic, same color as her skin. Umi was born human shaped, despite her mother's nightmares of bearing a centaur, but as she aged she kept changing forms. She kept trying to fit in with her surroundings, but kept failing, sometimes harming herself in the process. She didn't realize she was a dragon until she was about 25 years old, when she found that for some reason, she wasn't able to birth her unborn child. The baby was going into foetal distress, she wasn't having any signs of labor at all, even within two weeks of the due date, and the fluids surrounding the baby were dangerously low. Her baby had to be removed via C-section. Her milk was poison to her daughter, so they had to make use of the human "formula" milk, but even that didn't digest properly and caused the baby pain as she grew up. After her last attempts to feed the baby "naturally" she shifted one last time, her milk glands transforming to sacs built to hold flammable gasses for flaming. Since she couldn't properly nurture her child, she switched to protect mode. Her family: Her father was man with draconic ancestry, her father's family deny any non-human ancestry, though his mother was very powerful. She mislead herself and others and tried to say it was all just gifts from some god. Her father's parents were neglectful and abusive, and he had to raise his four younger brothers and sisters nearly on his own, but they never thank him for it. He's a good man, though moody, and he loves hunting and fishing. Oddly enough, though he has quite a few dangerous and deadly health problems, he's hardy and still active. Her mother was a half-unicorn shaman who was a great influence on everyone who met her in a good way. She had a very earthy sense of humor and was very intelligent, but she passed away from cancer when Umi was 23. This still affects the way she feels about people, especially older women. She hates to admit it, but she gets upset when older women complain about being old, because she keeps thinking that her mother would never have the chance to complain again. Umi has two half-sisters, both of which are in their 40's. One is a swan-maiden, though a maiden no longer, as she has two children of her own, though she adopted her husband's two boys as well. The other, the oldest, is a phoenix, and she also has two children. Umi's Powers: Umi is what one may call an "old soul". But throughout all her lives she's been the Guardian of the Tower. The tower rises up out of a dense forest, and inside the tower are doors and a dais. Each door goes to another dimention, each different from the last. The Dais is a large round raised place on the floor with a strange sigil etched into it. The platform, with the right energy patterns, can be used as a portal to anywhere the guardian desires and has been used to evacuate whole worlds in times of need. The Guardian is tied in some small part to every dimention in existance. This causes her to be somewhat sensitive to energy usage, and dimentional pathways. Needless to say, she knows when "ED" fields are used and sometimes they open to the reality where her conciousness resides. Because of her role as a protector, she's had to train to use and manipulate energies. She can usually transform any energy used on her to restore her own store, and what she can't hold, she can ground harmlessly. She hasn't really trained to fight that much, a few Tye-Kwon-Do classes when she was younger and some dance training. She's trying to learn to fight by sparring with Kage, but it doesn't happen often. Her best ability though is energy conversion, because most of what attacks her are energy beasts, mostly shadow energy. Often called ghosts, or demons, she can forcibly change the energy into something harmless or even helpful. Mostly she fights using her flexibility and trying to throw her opponant off guard. Of course, when desperate, she can tap into those other realities, bringing forth objects or energy from those places. She can "summon" a can of raid to kill a spider for instance. She may, under dire circumstances, send things to other places. For example, once, a long time ago, there was a waterspout threatening the lives of thousands of people in a coastal city. She was able, at great energy expense, to send the buffeting winds and water to a reality where the winds were constant and hence, had no effect. She spent the next week recuperating. Umi has an alternate personality, a cold, cruel version of herself that she calls "Oni Umi". Oni uses everything she knows as a weapon to harm people, and takes her own pain and uses it also. Where Umi will, by preference, attempt to shield and ground energy, Oni will create a siphon effect and steal the energy from attacks and use it. Once she begins the "vampire" like effect, it takes a very strong will and physical movement to break the channel. She cares very little for her own safety. Thankfully, Oni Umi rarely shows herself, preferring to stay hidden in her own dark little corner of existance. |
