Physical description (face, build, weight): Kayura is a thin and small Japanese woman. Her hair is a slightly lighter shade of brown that is the norm for most people of Japanese decent. She also wears glasses for reading things up close.
When she is in the mystical armor that has been passed onto her she looks physically different. A little more taller and slightly different than she should to act as a disguise.
Age: 22
Birthday: Aug. 1
PB: (If using one.) Ai Takabe
Abilities: Extensive knowledge on Japanese myths, lore, and history. Trained in basic hand to hand combat and she has formal training in kendo as well as knowledge on how to use various bladed weapons. Though it is to be noted that she is no expert in any physical area. Her true area of expertise is in lore and tracking the supernatural, she has a natural knack for tacking and finding both as well as figuring out how to kill it.
When using her armor she is super-humanly fast and strong, about Spider-Man's level for both. The armor also grants her resistance against some magic and the ability to sense when something Isn't Right or is evil. This means she can guard roughly two thirds of what a straight damage spell can do to her. But she has no resistance against illusions of any sort. The ability to sense "not right" things is also active when she isn't in armor and she has a greater sense of when something wicked is coming her way so long as it is magical in origin. The armor comes complete with a sword.
She can also call the armor to her and it replaces her clothing. In order to do this she has to be able to verbally call it with just a word.
The armor itself can not be damaged perminately but as the moon waxes and wanes will determine how much the wearer will be protected from physical blows. The less full the moon is the more protection the wearer gains. When the moon is gone the wearer can only be harmed by magic or in Kayura's case when the armor slips she can be hurt. The armor is also self-repairing and as the moon is less full the armor can repair quicker. For any serious damage it takes two full days to repair, minor damage is gone by the end of one day. But when the moon is full it takes three full days for any damage to fix itself no matter how minor. The closer the moon is to being full adds two hours onto the repair time for major damage and three hours for minor damage.
Weaknesses and flaws: As the armor is meant for a male it can't bond to her and grant her the full power set that it comes with. As it is almost awakened it has an opinion of it's own and will argue with her if she doesn't act with honor.
And because she is a girl the armor can't properly reshape itself to fit her so at inconvenient times pieces will slip out of place. And the armor desires to be used to fight evil so it gives off an aura that attracts evil to her.
And sometimes when transforming out of her armor her clothes aren't there. It's very embarrassing for her. Also due to her build and the fact the armor draws it strength largely from it's user she has to consume a great deal of food, even then after using the armor for more than an hour and a half she is physically and mentally drained and will require several hours of rest to recover.
If the armor were actually to become damaged Kayura would also receive the same damage to her person as she is bonded to it almost fully.
Character location/Home: Tokyo, Japan.
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero/ Big Hero 6
Relatives (living/dead?): Seji Yagyu (father, dead), Rei Yagyu (assumed dead), Kenji Yamano (Uncle, living)
Backstory: Kayura is the last in the line of ronin monster hunters. Centuries ago her family was gifted powerful armor by a kitsune who had been acting as a messenger for a good, the kitsune did not reveal who she was the servant of, it was her way of showing thanks to the warrior who protected her from an ogre that would have killed her and stropped the flesh from her bones. The armor itself was enchanted with great power and because of the goodness in his heart and in his family the armor would continue to function for them.
The armor was passed like that from father to son. Only members of the family knew about it and they continued to fight evil for centuries. Then something happened that changed the fate f the armor and the family. Kayura was born. And only she. Her father knew that when he died the armor would pass to her so he did his best to prepare her. He taught her how to recognize different kinds of creatures from folk lore and how to protect herself from them. She was bright and good at it and took to it all like a fish takes to water.
Six months ago her father and mother went on a weekend trip. The car crashed and her father's body was found. She has no idea what happened to her mother but the armor has been calling her and she has no choice to respond. She just hopes Uncle Kenji doesn't think she joined a gang.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: A few classic Japanese ghosts are going to be making trouble in down town Tokyo at night. She's going to try and stop them. Or alternatively during the Orochi plot she'll make her apperance as someone who knows things who can also fight.
What are you planning to do with this character? I want to see her balance being a college student, getting used to the armor, and slowly getting used to the idea of not being the only weird super hero in Japan.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Hilarity! And fighting monsters and other outrageous stuff. I also want her coming to terms with not being who she thinks she should be as she has some gender issues due to not being born a male and not being able to bond to the armor fully.
