Welcome to Gaia! ::

Character name: Kameno
Race: Panther half demon
Appeared age: 16 (is actually about 30 years old)
Gender: Female
Sexual orientation: Straight; Heterosexual; only interested in strong men
Appearance:
Kameno stands at 5' 3". While in her half-demon form, she wears her hair in a messy ponytail that barely reaches her shoulders (as a human, her hair will be down). She wears stolen clothes from the villagers, and she tears the sleeves off all the tops in order to make them easier to move in. Her clothes are tattered because of how often she's running haphazardly through the forest. Her nails and canine teeth are sharp. As a human, her hair is black, and her eyes are brown.

Short bio: Kameno is the result of a union between a human man and a panther demon woman. While still an infant, their home was attacked, and after the death of her father, her demon mother dropped her off at a human village. She demanded the couple take care of the child until her return. Since that day, Kameno has been hidden in a shed behind the couple's home. Many years have passed, and that couple are now the village elders. They've managed to raise her in secret, so no one in the village knows about her.
From a young age, Kameno has been sneaking out of the shed and exploring the forest. Because she's a half-demon, many of the lesser demons have attacked her, and from necessity, she's learned to fight. After many years of their taunts and jabs, though, the fighting became less necessary and more for the fun of killing them. She kills them to train and prove her strength despite her human blood. Still, she can never win their approval, so she keeps fighting and becoming more blood thirsty.
She returns to her shed to eat the food the elders bring her but prefers to be in the forest. Only on the day when she loses her powers does she stay hidden, and on that night of the first waning moon, she sneaks into the village to pose as the restless spirit of a slain traveler.
Personality: Kameno likes to have her way. She has an attitude problem and prefers to fight rather than talk. She's rash and impatient and has never bothered getting along with people or making friends. Still, she is curious about new things, so sometimes she can slow down if only to check something out. While as a human at the Moon Festival, she is quiet and reserved. Her smiles are shy but happy. However, she won't speak a word while in her human form.
Abilities: Kameno has heightened strength, speed, endurance, and healing/regeneration from being a half demon. Her hearing is superb enough to pick up an earthquake before it happens, thanks to her panther demon blood. As a half-demon, she can sense demonic power but can't always guess what type of demon it is. Aside from hearing, she is better at speed and agility than anything else.
As a half demon, she also has the ability to become human one night a month (on the night of the first waning moon) and will begin to lose her demon abilities during that day.
Weapons: Her teeth and claws.
Other: Kameno heard that eating human flesh would increase her demonic powers, but despite that knowledge, she's never been able to bring herself to do it; her human heart has always gotten in the way.

Short bio: In ancient times there lived in hell a dragon that devoured the souls of the wicked and the bodies of any demon fool enough to cross it. One day it found its way into the mortal realm. Everything was different from the hell the dragon was used to. It did what it always did. It devoured everything in its way and slowly began to understand the world it found itself in. It ravaged ancient Japan for twenty decades until the inhabitants decided to remove it. An army of demons waged battle against the dragon for seven days and six nights. Even with all their combined power they could not defeat the dragon, only weaken it as a new group entered the battle. Eight holy men and women fought with the demons against their common enemy. It took three more days of constant battle and cost the lives of all but two of the holy warriors but they were able to seal the great dragon away. The bonds should have lasted forever but one day a shard of the sacred jewel flew over the dragon's resting place and awoken it. Trapped in the form of a small snake all it could do was hide inside the body of one of the priestesses. Now it seeks to undo its seal and finish its quest to devour the human word.
Personality: Jigoku is a very cold being. In conversation it speaks little more than it has to. Being a being from long ago Jigoku has values much different than modern day feudal Japan. In its day demons had a very strict hierarchy and it finds modern day demons to be pale shadows of their former glory.
Abilities: Back in its prime Jigoku possessed seven horns that allowed it control over aspects of the world. Now that it is sealed it can only access the weakest of the seven, the power of wind, by breaking off its horn and turning it into a sword. Though its body is that of a human Jigoku has modified it to make it strong enough to go toe to toe with most regular demons and half demons. Though demons or half demons with skill in combat can probably overcome what little power Jigoku still possessed.
Weapons: Jigoku wields the blade of wind. This blade can send slashes of wind that are capable of cutting through flesh. The wind can't cut through armor or hide that has powerful demonic or spiritual power inside of it. It is also fragile and can break easily and when broken takes a day to repair itself.
Other: Has little knowledge about modern feudal Japan.
