Original Owner: Takeda Shingen
Clan: Takeda
History: Takeda Shingen was born Takeda Katsuchiyo, In 1551, his name was changed again to the well-known Takeda Shingen. Shingen is sometimes referred to as The Tiger of Kai for his martial prowess on the battlefield. His primary rival, Uesugi Kenshin, was often called The Dragon of Echigo or also The Tiger of Echigo.
Takeda Shingen was the first-born son of Takeda Nobutora, the daimyo of the Province of Kai. He assisted his father with the older relatives and vassals of the Takeda family, and became quite a valuable addition to the clan at a fairly young age. But at some point in his life after his "coming of age" ceremony, the young man decided to rebel against his father. He finally succeeded at the age of 21, successfully taking control of the clan. The end result for the father was a miserable retirement that was forced upon him by his son and his supporters: he was sent to Suruga Province to be kept in custody under the scrutiny of the Imagawa clan, headed by Imagawa Yoshimoto, the daimyo of Suruga. For their help in this bloodless coup, and the alliance was formed between the Imagawa and the Takeda clans.
After he had conquered Shinano, Shingen faced another rival - Uesugi Kenshin of Echigo. The feud between these two became almost legendary, and they faced each other on the battlefield a total of five times at Kawanakajima
Around this time period, the Takeda clan suffered two setbacks within the group itself. Shingen uncovered two plots on his life, the first from his cousin Katanuma Nobumoto (whom he ordered to commit seppuku), and the second, a few years later, from his own son Takeda Yoshinobu. His son was confined to the Tokoji, where he died two years later. It is uncertain as to whether his death was natural or ordered by his father. This left Takeda Shingen, for the moment, without an heir. However, he later had more sons, and it was actually his fourth (Takeda Nobumori) who would take control of the Takeda clan after his death.
Sacred Item: A once long prayer black bead necklace held by a red string, now reconstructed into two bracelets and held together by a new purple string, which hangs at where it is tied, (each worn on each wrists)
Activate Ability 1: Ambience Stance: Only good for blending into the environment to be able to hide and or spy. Cannot be in any kind of combat mode or else stance will be canceled on the spot. Her relic's energy allows her presence to be concealed as it cloaks her but it cannot help silence movements. Also, she cannot be bumped by anything or it will dispel the stance immediately. She can also cloak others but only up to a party of five - including herself - the following effects also applies to the party. Stance only lasts for 30 minutes (5 posts) in total and can be reused again after one hour (10 posts) of cease for singular use or two hours (12 posts) for group use.
Activate Ability 2: Chain Stance: Requires her to only handle the chain part of her weapon and be on solid ground at all times. Energy from her relic that allows her to create energy generated thin slashes with a radius of 90, while using the momentum of her weapon's chain as the pivot. However, they can only be effective when inflicting damage onto the person or object upon impact. Depending on how close or how far, a person can either get injuries, get pushed down, or just feel it brushed against them - so timing matters - range is only 1 mile. Stance is canceled upon whenever she's no longer on solid ground but between each slashes she does, it needs one minute interval (every other 1 post) until the next slash could be produced.
Activate Ability 3: Phantasm Stance: Unable to use the chain part of her weapon. Greatly boosted speed that creates another illusion of herself. Only lasts for 10 minutes. (2 posts) However, when interrupted upon impact the image ceases.
Passive 1:
Soul Extract: Energy from relic are delivered accordingly depending on which type of stance she is in for her to use so that she does not have to over charge for her attacks. No longer effective if she is not in any sort of stance.
Passive 2: Aura Accumulation: Over time, amounts of energy are gathered that gives a tiny boost to attacks. However, this requires her to not be stationary. No longer works when is she is still.
OverburstColor: Lavender
Overburst Power: Soul Reaper Stance: Enhanced in strength, speed, agility, and endurance but the stance only lasts 15 minutes. (3 posts)

Childhood Friend - Kai Izuki
History: Akarui is one of your typical girls that is a part of the middle upper society - growing up in a very traditional family. Of course, the environment that she grew up in was a calm and loving one. Minus the other fact that she was trained to be someone who could be an asset to her home country. She was the only child or so as it was until an elder brother, named Ryouga, who was adopted into the family, popped out of nowhere. To be honest, Akarui never did want anything to do with him - acting as a spoiled child and all - but it was an encounter with something that was not meant to be that change her view on Ryouga. As well as her bothersome cousins from her mother's side.
Throughout childhood closing into her beginning teenage year, Akarui was given two beaded bracelets. She was told by her grandfather that it was to never come off - a supposedly "protective charm" - has had it since then. This outcome was proceed after the encounter with the relic. The two, her grandfather and herself were in the family's treasure shed, looking for some old text scrolls, and Akarui being like the normal tomboy as any other, scrambled around. Finding a box that had a paper seal on it, by a corner which was sitting on top of a small tabled surrounded by four candles that stood close the table's corners, and under the box was a purple cloth that was arranged in a diamond shape. Out of curiosity, she easily ripped the paper seal and opened the small box. What were inside was two beaded bracelets. Gleaming at them, she grabbed both, one in each hand, and went to show her grandfather. Of course, her grandfather, having finally found the text scrolls that he needed, called out to Akarui to only discover that the child had somehow obtained the relic that belonged to Shingen Takeda - as she came up to him showing the relic. It should have been impossible to remove the paper seal as it was him who put it on. Or as to be specific, the only ones of being able to have opened the sealed box was his priestess daughter-in-law, Yume, and himself. However, what bothered the grandfather the most was that, it resonated and even the child, Akarui, did not seem to be effected negatively... With a sign, the grandfather gently took the bracelets from Akarui and explained to her, that one day, it - the relic - would be given to her but for now, it was not time. Agreeing so, Akarui walked out of the shed carrying the scroll her grandfather wanted. The relic that once resonated with the grandfather, Ookami, after such a long time which faded now resonated once again in his grandchild. Hoping the relic would never be put to use, it seems that it's usage was to come again. Just what is happening with the world's balance...? Quickly, putting it back and resealing, the grandfather left the shed, to also inform his son and daughter-in-law of the incident.
Therefore, to Akarui, things were already set for her future. She was to attend Edo Bugei Academy, graduate, and follow in the footsteps as did so her family. Working in both in the light and shadows, blending in, and survival. The life was already paved and the only next stop was for her to follow down it. Of course, at times she did rebel but there was no way she could escape it since it was a part of her.
Attending the first year of Edo Bugei Academy was nothing special. It was just your usual typical "freshman year" environment. Of course, aside from school work, Akarui did some side jobs - integrated by her family's business. Least to say, she's always made sure to stay a mystery to her schooling counterpart. On the other hand, only to discover a few months later that her childhood friend, Kai Izuki, was also going to the same academy. It was awhile since they last met up, considering the strict regime that their fathers gave them. In a way, it was the knowing that someone she knew - also in the same academy - was close by, it gave a warm and human feeling. That she wasn't alone and there was someone she could turn to when needed.
Second year, Akarui improved a bit. Sure, she was still the quiet type but it was not something that was going to benefit her. She made sure to be more active in school and to also keep herself from falling behind her fellow classmates. It wasn't even before long that she's made use of her abilities and skills. It's gone up to a level where she's recognized by some teachers as a fairly well moderate student who is achievable on all accounts. Whether it be missions or just classes, she would complete them right away by always giving her all and the best. Even some teachers would ask her to attend or some fellow students would ask her to join on their missions.
At last, reaching third year. Although, it wasn't easy, Akarui had only wish that the spotlight was not so...open. Sure, she's ended up as someone who is a part of the top students of the academy but that's not something that she intended to aim for. Least to say, she's done a good job of just being "Akarui" and keeping the mysterious persona. Other than that, her next step would be Elite Year at the Edo Bugei Academy. And there was nothing to be stopping her from achieving it. After all, good grades, completing missions under the usual time frame, and as well as being among the top students was even to prove her worth. All that's left was to see what else the academy had in store for her.
