Aika Mitsuhide - Jakotsu Baba
Onna-bugeisha.
To break Sacroscant laws, horrifying.
What would you say if someone returned?
That would be.. insane, right?
Reality tends to be more horrific than fiction. The unnatural creeping into the mundane strikes fear into the deepest parts of the heart. It should not be; it shatters the familiar, the safe.Mitsuhide no Aika, heiress to her namesake clan, lives within that unsettling nightmare. Barely twenty-two years of age, she was forced to confront her mortality during a surprise attack by a hidden foe. A sudden blade between shoulder and spine - a killing stroke.Yet, despite all expectations, she awoke once more.Even after falling in defense of her homeland, she continues to live.What should never have been became her reality.Undeath. Or perhaps something else entirely.The sheer arrogance of living in defiance of mortality itself is a contrarian act, born from a fervent desire to persist despite the laws of nature. The reason? A power latent within her for years finally awakened, saving her from total destruction.This newfound power, however, is also her curse, for it alters her body in ways society would never accept.But even still, she lives on.
To find me, a challenge
Yet I am flattered, for you're determined
Let us see what blossoms.
Aika Mitsuhide - she is many things. A Witch, a Monster, a Wayward Sword.Yet, all the same, she yearns for that human connection. To remind herself that she is more than the titles given by others.For all intents and purposes, Aika's preferred style of roleplay has two possible avenues to approach from. Naturally, both can be given ample attention.If you wish to dive into the macabre, the extreme, the 'edgy', she is more than a fit for such scenarios. Simultaneously, she can fit within casual contexts - romance, slice of life, anything and everything in-between.Context, as always, is the most important detail. Should you want to discuss the how and why, I'm more than willing to sit down and plan out an arc or two.We're here for the roleplay, aren't we? I'd hope so - otherwise this is a lot of effort for nothing.
Blood Magic: Aika is, at this point in time, a fledgling practitioner of Hemomancy. Be it to impart what she knows, or to simply cross paths with another fellow practicioner of the obscene, you need but push for an introduction to the other side of magic.
Tarot Readings: Assuming one happens upon her reading the cards for herself, or has simply heard of the act, she will read if someone so desires -- and asks politely. Be wary, however, as she does not claim fault for anything that may happen after the fact.
Commerce: Aika's family earned their wealth through an abundance of aetherically conductive metals. Subsequently, Aika has pushed to ship the material across the known world. Looking to buy or, perhaps, to begin a trade of sorts? Ask.
Those Crimson Eyes: A daring beauty, eyes of crimson and pallid flesh alike create a striking image. Perhaps you wish to know her; perhaps she has been staring at you for the entire evening. Surely this is for simple minded fun, right? Might as well find out.
Eastern Underground: Even prior to recent events within Doman history, the Mitsuhide family always had a scrupulous reputation. Conspirators, liars, cheaters - thieves. Yet, simultaneously, they always managed to thrive. Be it through underhanded dealings, aggressive marketing, or simply funding the right person to ruin another with an amply greased palm, Aika can be the co-conspirator or debutante needed to facilitate those night-time dealings.
Forbidden Magics: Aika is, at this point in time, a fledgling practitioner of Hemomancy. Be it to impart what she knows, or to simply cross paths with another fellow practicioner of the obscene, you need but push for an introduction to the other side of magic. Be wary.
A Fellow Daywalker: Undeath has a price; birds of a feather walk together. Those who know what it means to exist between both states of reality understand the overwhelmingly steep price to stay as such. General warning: This is an extreme option - and it isn't for the faint of heart. If this is a curiosity, this is a one on one discussion prior to engaging.
