Both

Name: Kain, the dragonslayer.
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown (physical appearence of 25 but his eyes show wisdom and experience that go beyond that age, how old is he really? How can he look so young?)Weapons: Two katanas and a long bow
Height: 1,80 meters
Weight: 75 kilograms
Armor: Mythril Chain Mail, fighting gloves and leather boots suited for walking, running and horseback riding
Magic: Prefers hand to hand combat but knows basic lightning and healing spells
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black
Class: Ranger/Monk
Location: Faerun

Abillities: Can fight as well with a weapon as with his bare hands and can use a bow with deadly accuracy and, as a ranger, he has the ability to call some of the Nature's creatures to help him.
Hide in Shadows: Kain can conceal himself in the shadows becoming almost invisible to the naked eye but will still be seen by the infrared spectrum in which elves and dwarves can see, he may also be detect by those of keen hearing and/or eyesight and will reveal his location when attacking.

Personnality: Likes to help people and avoids killing whenever possible. Will not engage in a fight unless it's to protect someone or to save his own life. Kain can be described as a lone wolf, always wandering alone but fierce in a fight to protect his ideals.

Magic Abillities: Can use the thunder and cure spells. Can use the thunder sword ability which allows him to imbue his swords with the power of thunder.

Magic Items: Necklace of Infravision: Although it seems an ordinary necklace at first sight, it allows anyone who wears it to see in the infrared spectrum just like an elf or a dwarf.

Special Attacks: Whirlwind: Kain extends his arms spins his swords at high speed cutting almost anything that gets caught by this attack, he gets a little dizzy after using it, though.
Double Sword Dance: Kain uses both his swords to deal around 15 consecutive fast attacks.
Phoenix's Talon: When he's not wielding any weapon, Kain can concentrate all the strength of his body in one blow. That blow is a jump kick called Phoenix's Talon that cannot kill his opponent
but can knock him out for a couple of hours.

Description: A not very muscular man who wears a mythril chain mail under his black cloak which hides his face almost completly. One would doubt his intentions, specially after seeing the two katanas he has attached to his belt both on the left side and the bow on his back. A very closed man who keeps much to himself but is always ready to help others. He moves like a shadow and fights with enormous speed and agillity with or without a weapon.

Weapons: His two magical katanas are called Heaven's Fury and Masamune. The first will paralize any enemy who is wounded by it for a few seconds and is most useful against creatures with evil alignment the second is a sword made only to protect people and will never take any life at all. Both the swords can only be used by those pure of heart. His bow looks a normal long bow made of the finest wood, though it is suspected to be enchanted but, if it is, no one ever found out what it can do. In his quiver, he carries about 50 fire arrows. Kain also has two daggers hidden, one in each of his boots, to use if everything else fails.

Bio: No one knows where this misterious man came from. His past is clouded with misteries and his future is uncertain. All that is known is his present. Recently appeared a small town in a region known as the Sword Coast in the world of Faerun but known not to be originaly from that world. When asked about his past he'll either say that it's his own business or remain completly silent. Whether he doesn't want to tell or he doesn't remember, no one can find out. He got his tittle after helping a group of adventurers defeat a white dragon, dealing the killing blow himself.
The origin of Kain's weapons is also a mistery. It's known that he obtained the Heaven's Fury after his arrival on Faerun but no one knows how he got the hold of it or who wielded it previously. The Masamune is an even greater mistery: once it was thought to be the same sword wielded by the greatest swordsman of all times, Sephiroth, but now, it was discovered that the two blades only share their name. What's the origin of the blade and why does it share it's name with Sephiroth's sword is a secret known only by the maker of the sword. His bow is even more misterious than him, some would say it was just a normal bow, some would say it was magical but no one could truly know, where did Kain got hold of such a weapon?
During his time in Faerun, Kain has always travelled alone, working as a mercenary to gain money to pay for food and rest but never accepting jobs just for money, he only accepted those that didn't go against his nature.
How long has Kain been travelling between worlds? How long will he stay in Faerun? How can anyone find out? Should anyone ask? Should anyone even want to find out?

Fighting Styles: When fighting with his swords he uses a mixture of several Japanese sword styles including, among others, traditional Kendo and a style known as Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu.
In unarmed combat, Kain can use Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo, Jeet Kune Do and Capoeira.

Approved, but be careful with summoning creatures. Do not have them take his place in battle for long periods of time.

Squall Leonheart · #3 (**permalink**) 10-07-2003, 12:37 AM

The creatures are not summoned but rather are already there and usually are small creatures like a squirrel, a cat or something like that.
Anyway, here's the second, for both, RPBs and ORPGs:

Name: Amadeus Andaurig
Status: The Seventh Guardian
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Race: Angel (can take the form of an human or an elf to avoid drawing attention)
Height: 1,95 meters
Weight: Varies
Hair: Silvery white halfway through the back
Eyes: Plain white (blue when in human or elf form)
Weapons: Three long swords (about 1,60 meters) and twin pistols (of about 30 cm each)
Armor: Body fully protected by an full plate mail made in the heavens. No protection whatsoever to his face
Origin: Kingdom of Andaria in the world known as Nexim
Location: The heavens with the gods of good

Description: Amadeus is a tall angel with white feathery wings. His eyes are completly white. They show some of the emptiness that goes in his heart. He can turn himself into a human or an elf as tall as he normally is but without the weight of his wings and, as an elf, less muscular than he normally is. His full plate offers protection against magical and physical attacks and is surprisingly light since full plates are usually made of steel and cover the entire body. When in his human or elf form his eyes change to blue. A blue that can reach as his as the blue in the sky or as deep as the blue of the sea.

Personallity: Amadeus avoids revealing himself as an angel and refuses to talk about his past life. He will engage on fights only if inevitable or if the gods tell him to do so. He will avoid killing his opponents whenever possible. He can change his temper very easilly. He can just as fast be happy and funny in his talks as he can do them very seriously without ever even giving an hint of a smile. He will, however, be always ready to help whoever he thinks needs his help.

Abillities: Amadeus can make each of his weapons magically appear on his hand by extending his arm and saying its name and make it disapear by saying its name in reverse. He can also fuse some of his weapons to create more powerful or versatile ones. Being an angel, no phsysical or mental effects (poison, paralizis, etc. as examples of physical effects; confusion, domination, etc. as examples of mental effects) can affect him. As the Seventh Guardian, he can draw power from all six elements (fire, water, earth, air, light and darkness). He can also travel through time and space at will if allowed to do so by the gods.

Weapons: His first sword is called The Holy Avenger. Its blade made in the heavens is virtually unbreakable and its sharp edges can cut through almost anything. His second sword is called the Blessing of the Daystar (Daystar for short) its white blade draws its power from the sun, even if ithe sun's hidden behind the clouds as long as the clouds aren't magical in nature, and it's stronger when the sun shines brightest and will be left without almost any power at all when night falls. His third sword, the Nightgift is almost identical to the Daystar but for the color of the blade, which is black in the first and white in the last. It draws its power from the darkness. Many people associate darkness with evil. In truth, evil usually uses darkness to enhance its powers but darkness itself is not evil. The Nightgift was proof of that. He can fuse the Nightgift and the Daystar to form another long sword, this one a bit longer (about 1,80 meters), called Wrath of Heaven. This weapon can create a beam of light that shoots straight from the blade of the sword to his opponent. The beam can, sometimes, be too powerful for even Amadeus to control so he avoids using this sword. His twin pistols are called Justice and Punishment and shoot magical bullets that could kill even creatures usually imune to normal bullets (like vampires and werewolves). He can fuse the two guns to create either a bow, called Lumina, and about 20 light arrows similar to the bullets that he used to avoid drawing attention to his guns in worlds that don't know what guns are, or a sniper rifle, called Heaven's Judgement, that shoots similar bullets and is perfect for long distance shots. To fuse the weapons, he holds one in each hand, puts his hands together and calls the name of the weapon he wants to form.

Spells: As the Seventh Guardian, Amadeus can use six spells, one for each element and a seventh spell that combines all the elements. Using this spells causes him to lose some of his mental strength allowing him to use each of them only once in battle and, in some battles, he might not be abble to use all seven spells.
Fire: Flame Pillar: Amadeus can call a pillar of light to come from the heavens straight at his opponent.
Water: Cone of Ice: Amadeus gathers the water existent in the air and sends it towards his opponent in the form of a cone of ice.
Air: Four Winds Strike: Amadeus calls to the winds striking with four gusts of wind, one from each of the four cardinal points, that can cut through cloth and skin.
Earth: Anger of the Land: Amadeus shapes the grund to create a golem to help him in the fight. The type of golem depends on where he uses the spell. He can summon stone, clay or iron golems depending on which is more common on the place where he uses the spell. The golem he creates can only be mantained during 2 mins maximum until the land goes back to its original form. The size of the creature will depend on the amount of material available to create it.
Darkness: Darkness falls: Amadeus summons a mantle of darkness that falls over his opponent blinding him for a few seconds.
Light: Healing Light: Amadeus calls to the heavens for a beam of light that falls on him healing his most serious wounds. It can't heal all of his wounds.
Elemental Barrier: Amadeus lifts a barrier that protects him against all kind of elemental damage for 2 minutes.

Bio: Amadeus Andaurig was one of the finnest knights in the army of the kingdom of Andaria in the world of Nexim. The kingdom of Andaria was at war with the invading empire of Kannos. They were badly outnumbered and had little chance of winning. The strength and courage of Amadeus, lider of the armies of Andaria, kept the war going sometimes leading the armies into seemingly impossible victories. He was respected by his allies and feared by his enemies. Some said the battles he won, he won by luck. Amadeus didn't believe in luck. For him, luck was no more than being abble to create favourable scenarios. He made his own luck.
One day, a great battle was fought. Almost all of the soldiers in Andaria were fighting barely half the soldiers of the empire and were still outnumbered at least 5 to 1. Amadeus managed to get them an advantage: the fighting ground had been prepared so that the soldiers of the empire were fighting on lower ground making it easier for the archers of Andaria to kill the enemy soldiers, evening the odds. Then, it happened. An enemy poisoned arrow took down Amadeus. The soldiers from the empire expected the knights of Andaria to run in panic from the loss of their commander but instead, they started fighting harder to avenge the death of their commander. They manage to defeat the invading army but their forces were badly decimated. Some nearby kingdoms and some forces within the empire, not happy with the empire rulership, decided to help Andaria and formed an army that more than matched the empire's. In the end, they came out victorious but at terrible costs.
When his soul was about to go to a higher plane of existance, the gods of good asked Amadeus to become an angel and watch over the material planes. He accepted and was given the body of an angel. His strength, speed and agillity were increased greatly and so were is fighting skills. He was trained in all known martial arts with and without weapons. After a few centuries, he became one of the best and was asked to become a guardian. Guardians were angels who surpassed all the others. There were 24 guardians total among the thousands if not millions of angels there were. 8 guardians worked with the gods of good, 8 with the gods of evil and 8 with the neutral ones to ensure none of the sides got overly powerful. For each alignment there were 6 guardians with the power over one element (fire, water, earth, air, darkness and light), one with power over all six elements and an eigth with the power to control the other guardians and stop them from becoming too powerful or from straying from their path. As a guardian, he was given his weapons, his armor and some abillities. He was also allowed to instantly travel through time and space at will as long as the gods allowed it. His job as guardian of good consisted in looking over the various worlds of the material planes and stop evil forces from taking over them.
Being an angel, he cannot trully die. If he is "killed" in battle, he will return to the gods and banned from the world where he was "killed" for 100 years being able to return sooner if the gods wish so never returning in less than 24 hours.

Fighting style: Amadeus can fight well with and without weapons. He favours the longswords and will rarelly resort to his guns. He uses various attack combinations involving his swords, his elbows, his legs and even his head. He may involve his guns in those combos but will prefer to draw his guns only when his opponent fires the first shot.

Approved nice work

Squall Leonheart · #5 (**permalink**) 10-23-2003, 09:45 PM

Finally got this one ready. Took me long enough.

For RPBs and ORPGs

Name: Kari Tsuihou
Gender: Female
Age: 23 years
Date of birth: March, 17, 1589
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 110 lbs
Eyes: Green
Hair: Dark brown, at shoulder length and held behind the head with a ribbon to keep it from falling over her eyes.
Race: Human
Occupation: Renegade Ninja
Weapons: Two ninja swords, ten five-point shurikens and ten throwing kunais
Weapons’ names (swords): Dageki and Shikyo.
Armor: Leather armor, steel-covered leather boots and gloves
Weapons description: The two ninja swords she carries are about 1'8" long, of which, about 6 inches are for the handle and the remaining 1' 2" is for the blade. As most ninja swords, they are too long to be called daggers and too short to be called short swords. The blades have been magically enhanced making the blade sharper and more resistant making them perfect for combat despite their small size.
Shurikens are small missile weapons that can be thrown to efficiently deal damage. The ones carried by Kari are shaped like five-point stars and decorated to improve their beauty. However, they are not ornaments but deadly weapons. Anyone who lowers their guard to admire them might find one of them stuck in their throat.
Kunais are small daggers. They can be used as melee weapons but excel when used as missiles. These particular daggers are too small to be used as melee weapons but are perfect for throwing and, due to their small size, can fit through the unprotected connections of the pieces that compose most armors.
Kari’s missile weapons have been magically enchanted to return to her at the end of each day, giving her an endless supply of daggers and kunais even if her use of the weapons is limited for the day.

Personality: Kari is a joyful and playful young woman who likes to help people and to protect those who can’t protect themselves. Some say she’s never serious except when she’s fighting, which isn’t too far of from the truth. While the loss of her father and the exile from her clan took away some of her happyness, she lives for the moment trying to be as cheerful as she can and trying to put everyone around her in a similar mood.

Description: Kari is a beautiful young ninja. Over the leather shirt she uses for protection, she wears a ninja outfit composed of a long-sleeved shirt and some pants both made of the finest cloth. The outfit also allows her to cover her face partially or all of it, leaving only the eyes uncovered. She can wear either a black or red outfit though she usually prefers the black as it makes it harder for her to be detected at night. The leather boots and gloves she wears have small steel plates covering them allowing perfect movement of hands and feet yet improving the protection and fighting efficiency they are capable of.
Ten shurikens and ten kunais are strapped around her waist ready to throw when needed. She also carries with her a number of ninja items that can prove useful in combat situations.
On her back, a little above the waist, are her two swords, slightly crossed in a almost horizontal position

Abilities: Having been trained as a ninja, Kari knows several abilities that are also common to thieves and assassins. She can pick locks, move making almost no noise at all, use the cover of shadows to render her virtually invisible, pick pockets and detect, arm, disarm and recover almost any trap.
She also knows a good deal of tecniques known only to ninjas, the so-called ninja magic. Kari knows there is little magic in ninja tecniques. Most of them are ilusions caused by the incredible speed a ninja can muster or the result of the mixing of herbs and chemicals. During her travels, however, Kari did learn some amount of basic magic spells. These spells, however, can only be used to enhance the effect of her items and skills. She knows only one minor offensive spell: a small thunder ball she can create in her hand and throw at her enemies.
To use her spells, other than the ones used to enhance her items, which are permanent, she must memorize them beforehand and recite a small arcane chant. Even the lesser spells used mainly in street illusionism and with little or no combat value must be memorized in an, at least, eight hours-long rest.
Kari also has a sixth sense that allows her to tell what’s in people’s hearts and, sometimes, in their minds. She cannot read minds however and, therefore, cannot forsee her opponents movements except by watching their muscles.

Ninja Items: Kari can use herbs and chemicals that allow her to make items capable of healing herself, creating ilusions or harming the enemy:
Healing Potion: One of the most basic items she can create. The healing effect of the herbs used to make this type potion has been enhanced magically allowing whoever drinks it to heal some of their wounds and regain some of their stamina, allowing them to keep on fighting. One potion alone, however, cannot fully heal the one who uses it. In the battlefield, it will speed up the healing process enough to close some of the wounds almost imediately and it’s effect will also speed up the healing process of the other wounds until they close but it'll take at least one night's rest for them to heal completely . Kari carries around a maximum of five of these potions.
Smoke Bomb: Another basic item commonly used by ninjas. When thrown against the ground, the chemicals in the container will create a cloud of smoke that can either temporarily blind whoever gets caught by it or allow the user to retreat to safety. These bombs work well enough without magical enhancement so Kari prefers to spend her magic with other of her items.
Fire Circle: Using some chemicals and a bit of magic, Kari can create a circle of fire in 3 feet radius around her stoping anyone from aproaching her during a short while.
Lockpick: A tool used commonly among thieves to pick locks. This particular lockpick has been enhanced to allow anyone who uses it to pick even the most complex locks provided they have received training (even if little) in lockpicking. When Kari uses it, it allows her to pick even locks that are magically protected, provided the spell isn’t too strong.

Special Abilities: Kari knows some attacks and skills that improve her efficiency in combat. All these tecniques require stamina and, when overly used, they may tire her too much to keep fighting.
Twin Mirage: By moving at na incredible speed and using a small amount of magic, Kari can create the illusion that there’s more than one of her, making her almost impossible to target directly with ranged weapons or spells. It’s a tecnique meant mostly for evasive tactics and has little use in close combat.
Dark Illusion: By holding five of her shurikens/kunais in a certain maner and using a small amount of magic, she can create the illusion that she’s actually only holding one. The illusion lasts during most of the missiles’ trajectory and, unless they can see past the illusion, her opponents won’t realize it until it’s too late.
Multiple sight: After throwing one of her shurikens/kunais, she can create the illusion that there she threw ten. But only one of the ten is real and can cause damage, the others are nothing more than illusions but may be enough to make her opponent put the guard on the wrong place.

Fighting Style: As many other ninjas in her clan, Kari fights with two small swords usually held in a reversed grip. Due to the short size of the weapons and the way they are held, they are only usable at close range. This fact leads many ninjas, Kari herself inluded, to use their feet and legs as a way of complementing the attacks of their weapons. She also uses the ninja tecniques she learned during her training and the magic she learned during her travels to perfect her fighting strategies.

Biography: Kari Fuma was born in the ending of 16th century near Edo (Tokyo), Japan. She was the youngest of the three daughters of the leader of a ninja clan, the Fuma clan. He was a respected man, even outside his clan. The Fuma ninja’s code of honor kept any of the members from killing anyone who didn’t deserve to die. Even when hired has mercenaries, no matter how high the pay, the Fuma would refuse to kill anyone who had done nothing to deserve death.
At the age of 6, Kari started her training as a ninja as did almost all of the children born to the clan. She was na excellent student and, even being so young, she was abble to master most of the basic tecniques at the age of 12 and good deal of the more advanced ones at the age of 15. At that age, they gave her the first of her swords, Dageki, which means strike. Name given because, despite its small size, it was more suited for offense than deffence.
The changing of the political regime happened when she was 14, when Tokugawa Ieyasu stepped to the power and set his government in Edo. She was too young to worry about or understand the implications of the change and, indeed, during the 3 years that followed, not many differences were noticed within the clan.
When she reached 17 years, she noticed an increasing number of assignments coming in and an almost constant flow in and out of the clan’s hideout. She could tell that some of the members were getting unhappy that her father was refusing some really well-payed jobs and accepting others almost for free. She knew that it was the code of honor of the clan that drove him to do that. And, in truth, they didn’t really need the money since they got almost everything they needed by their own means. Unfortunately, many of the younger members of the clan believed that the money would only bring the clan better living conditions.
During the following year, she felt the tensions within the clan rising and she could feel something bad was going to happen.
Her fears came true when, one day, after a mission, she returned to see the sentries carrying guns. The riffles seemed to be from Tanegashima where they had first arrived in Japan, brought by the Portuguese, in the middle of the 16th century. She new something was wrong because her father didn’t approve of those weapons nor did he had any connections with Tanegashima. She sneaked past the guards and, trying not to be seen, headed for the small house where her father lived. When she entered it, she saw her mother, her two sisters and her two brothers trying to remain tall and emotionless in front of her father’s bed, but she could see in their faces that something was wrong and, when she saw a tear running down her mother’s cheek, she didn’t have to see her father’s body to know he was dead. Like the rest of her family, she refused to mourn over the loss. There was no point and it could be seen as a sign of weakness within the clan. All she could really do was remember him and honor his memory with future deeds.
Later that day, all the ninjas in the clan were assembled in a great hall, apparently to announce the rising of a new leader.
Unlike what most people were expecting, the new leader wasn’t a member of Kari’s family, but one of her father’s students, a man in his early thirties by the name of Shinja. The clan was told that the former leader, Kari’s father, was killed during an attack from a rival clan and that, though the attackers were defeated, only four of the twelve Fuma ninjas that had gone out, were abble to return alive. Kari knew better. She knew that, if twelve of their best ninjas had really been overwelmed by members of a rival clan, none of them would make it back alive and that, even if some did, they would be protecting her father, whose fighting prowess would keep him from being killed easilly. Also, the survivors were all people who wanted her father out of the leadership and two of them were the sentries she had seen earlier carrying riffles. When she looked to Shinja, she was abble to sense what was on his mind and, by doing so, confirm her suspicions: the attack in which her father had been killed, had come not from the outside but from within the clan. She couldn’t do anything about it. Not when so many of the ninjas that supported Shinja were in the room. She would have to wait but she was determined to get her revenge.
After the meeting, when most of the ninjas were either resting or out on assignments, she decided to strike. As she was leaving, her mother appeared in front of her the look in her eyes told Kari she knew what Kari intended to do.
Instead of trying to stop her, though, her mother gave her a small sword much like the one Kari already had.
The sword was a treasure of the clan given only to the rightful leader of the clan. It seemed her mother wanted her to assume that role.
It was said that the sword was made and given to the clan by the swordsmith Masamune, one of the greatest Japan had ever known, over 300 years before.

Kari stared at the sword for a while, the blade seemed sharp enough to sever a man’s head right from his shoulders with just one blow. And, according to what she was told, the blade hadn’t started to dull even though it had been used for over 300 years. The sword seemed to have earnt its name, Shikyo, Death. She placed the sword on her lower back with the hilt opposite to Dageki’s so she could easilly grab each of the swords with the respective hand.

As the night grew darker, Kari went out, hiding in the shadows and trying to make as little noise as she possibly could, Kari sneaked into a secret passage that would lead her to Shinja’s house. She could only hope she would reach him before she was found.
As she approached Shinja’s chambers, she started to hear someone else’s voice from the inside, a voice she did not recognise.
It seemed like someone else was with Shinja and, whoever it was, wasn’t too happy about it.
As she drew closer, Kari was able to identify the voice as a man’s voice and overhear some of their talk.
Apparently there was someone helping Shinja from the outside and, from what Kari could hear, it wasn’t someone from outside the clan, the city or even the country. It seemed like it was someone from another world.
Driven by curiosity, Kari started to get closer to the door to be able to listen better. Unfortunately for her, that curiosity led her to be a bit careless and, as she was about to reach the door, she stepped on a rotten board on the wooden floor, causing it to break and give her away.
Cursing herself for her stupidity, Kari had no choice but to try her luck on the task she had to do. Reaching for some of her kunais, Kari jumped to the side and threw three of them at Shinja.
Being alerted by the noise, Shinja was expecting her attack and, though one of the kunais hit him in the shoulder, he was able to keep them from hitting any vital body parts.
From the corner of her eye, Kari saw the misterious man throw a dagger aiming at her heart. Since she was in mid-air, changing her course would be difficult. Fortunately for her, she was close enough to the ground to use her hands to change her body’s trajectory. The dagger came in too fast, though and, although it went by her without sticking in her body, it got her in the arm, drawing a thick line of blood. Bitting her lower lip to keep her from screaming and realising she had failed, Kari managed to land on her feet and, seeing as she would be captured and probably killed if the guards came, she ran for the secret passage, out of the village where her clan lived and away into the forest.

Kari spent the next few months in the woods, going to one or other town to buy supplies when needed and doing some jobs to earn some money. During that time, Kari kept thinking of a way to get her revenge.
One day, while she was resting on a cabin she had found unoccupied, a ninja came to her badly injured and carrying a small pendant, a ninja she recognised as her brother.
He told her that Shinja had been ordered by someone to retrieve it. Her brother had managed to steal the pendant when it was brought back but had been caught, forced to run from the village and fight two of Shinja’s best men. While he did defeat them, he suffered serious injuries that might have meant the end of him if he hadn’t come across his sister.
Feeling that her brother’s life would be seriously endangered and figuring Shinja might have a way of tracking down the pendant, she left her brother in the cabin to heal and ran into the woods, hoping that Shinja’s men would come after her instead of her brother.
As she was expecting, a group of ninjas appeared in front of her. They all seemed strong fighters but Kari always had been the best.
After a tough fight, Kari came out victorious but she had been too badly wounded and she knew she had little chance of survival. The last thing she saw before passing out from bloodloss, was a human figure with white wings coming from his/her back. She started to feel her body refreshed, she wished that she was somewhere far away, somewhere where she could be helpful, somewhere where people would appreciate her efforts, somewhere where she could become strong enough to defeat Shinja but, most of all, somewhere where she could keep on living. Then, she fainted. She did not see the pendant in her hand start to glow, she did not see the surprised face of the angel as her body disappeared from the planet called Earth, all she saw was the peaceful scenery presented to her when she regained her senses.

When she looked around, she realised she was not in the forest, nor in any part of Japan she had ever been to. Her wounds were completely healed and it was like her body had never been touched in battle.

She saw a small man approaching. At first she thought he was a child since he was so small but his face clearly showed the features of a mid-aged man. As the gnome, for indeed that was what he was, approached, Kari felt the curiosity of his mind and the gentleness of his heart. Though Kari didn’t know how she had done it, the gnome, a wizard of some power, felt the intrusion and asked Kari why and how had she done it. Strangely enough, Kari could understand the gnome perfectly and replied, truthfully, that she had no idea. The gnome invited Kari to go to his house to learn to control her innate abilities and learn a bit of illusionism magic, the one with which the gnome was most proficient.
When he asked her name, she started to reply “Kari Fuma” but, after thinking for a while, she decided that that name no longer suited her. She was no longer a part of the clan and she wasn’t even on her homeworld. “Kari Tsuihou”, she said at last, figuring the word ‘exile’ would be the best to decribe her situation.

After 4 years of adventuring and learning illusionism magic under the gnome’s tutelage, Kari’s physical and magical skills increased considerably. Gnomes are also known to be good inventors and this one wasn’t an exception. He was able to improve all of Kari’s ninja items and magically enhance their effects. She also came to grow more beautiful and, with time, much more cheerful. She was able to fully control her ability to see into people’s hearts and was taught a few thieving skills by the gnome she had come to see as a mentor and a friend.
One night the angel that had saved Kari’s life came to her in a dream telling her it was time to go home, to Japan, and to prevent Shinja and his associates from taking over the country and maybe even the world. Kari did not understand what the angel meant at first but then the pendant her brother had given her started to glow. She forgot her desire for revenge and wished to save her family and her country. She closed her eyes and, when she opened them again, she was back in that forest near Tokyo, Japan in the planet known as Earth. What journeys awaited ahead of her, only the future would tell.
