Suppress the Soul, The Undesirable Standing Alone its Undeniable || 若久 阿修羅 || Ashura Wakahisa || Lady Ashura || Shura "Ancient Dark God" || Pronounced A-SHURA WAKAHISA 565 Years Old October 13th Demon Touched A Rank Chaotic Neutral Female || Heterosexual Appearance Eyes & Hair: Callous, with a hint of arrogance, Ashura's eyes easily reflect upon her soul. They are almond-shaped, a brilliant azure in color and framed by thick black lashes and thin dark eyebrows which she describes as 'perfectly arched'. Ashura's hair is a composite of sheer white and lustrous silver, a silky long mane that cascades down the length of her body when left open and curls ever so slightly at the tips. Her forehead is covered by a messy fringe and a few strands of hair hang loosely around her face, often tucked behind her ears. Physique: Ashura possesses a delicate yet voluptuous body type. Her full breasts, thin waist, round butt and long legs flatter her hourglass figure and combined with her soft facial features, Ashura is often described as a radiant beauty. Her fair skin is unmarred by imperfection and her cheeks bear a captivating glow reminiscent of rosy peaches. Lady Ashura has lovely and pinkish lips and dainty little hands and feet that almost seem incapable of performing the feats she does. Shura carries the faint scent of jasmine flowers with her and has a little mole underneath her left collarbone. Clothing: Shura's main attire is the small amount of fabric she likes to call clothing. Her delicate limbs are the reason why she refuses to wear anything that hinders her movement and prefers to wear tight white undergarments to hide her skin underneath; As well as hold the white vest with a black sash just under her bust, Ashura combines everything with black wrist warmers and a white over jacket that only covers one limb, that being her damaged left hand. Additional to her main thought for garments, Shura wears knee high white boots that have black metal guards over them, They allow her to perform to best of her abilities in combat. Occasionally she will be seen wearing a long white cape that tucks under her jacket to protect her from the elements, not that they bother her anyways. Description: Ashura's body language is indicative of great self-confidence. She can often be seen with a look of curiosity or a harsh smile on her face and her gaze wanders often, usually scanning her surroundings. Modesty is something that Shura lacks however, If something catches her interest she will often stare, regardless of how this may affect the opposing party. Ashura is fond of skinship and displays affection through physical contact, so in regard to how she dresses, it is on purpose; She can easily hide and mask out her true feelings and intentions and yet, when she's in an emotional state, unable or unwilling to hide it, her body begins to tremble. She'll stutter when speaking, her voice fading from it's normal harsh tone to high pitched and feminine; and her blush-kissed cheeks will reveal her embarrassment, and her tears will show her anger and her sadness. Her skin runs the gamut from a translucent white to a deep rose, depending on whether she is angry, tired or excited. Someone had once told her, "Honestly, child, sometimes I don't recognize you. You've got all the colors of the wind in you." Aside from this, people very often tend to notice the scar that runs on her right eye, and take note, that any questions about it or a prolonged stare lingering on it will expose you to the woman's distaste. And although she tries to make sure that no questions are asked about that abhorrence on her skin by hiding it with a lily; she cannot escape questions on why the flower adorns her eye. But, of course, it is much easier to lie about the flower (a piece that has no sentimental value) than the scar. However her emotions will rarely get the better of her, thus she will always be seen with her strong facade. Special Characteristics: Scars Ashura has a few marring scars on different parts of her body, usually achieved in different spans of time in her long and twisted life as a hellspawn. The most prominent among them would be on her right eye though, as it runs deep in a vertical way; cutting across from above her eyebrow, right upto mid-cheek. However, she's prone to hide this scar by using a white flower, a lily, to be precise, and pinning it to her hair in such a way that it covers her right eye completely. Other scars range from a few on her wrists and legs, as well as a greater concentration on her back. Prosthetic left arm In force of her recognition as Demon Touched, Ashura's left hand is black and marred. This is also an inscription of her dark magic as it is infused with the same darkness that claims her soul. It still functions as well as the one made of normal bone and skin, possessing the same amount of strength and sharp claw like flanges. There Lives Regret But i Have Yet To Find It Personality Description: Shura desires respect and success earned through recurring hard work. As a perfectionist, she puts the highest effort into all of her projects until the very end, and is known for aiming to be the greatest at everything. While Ashura is interested in material wealth, her biggest source of motivation remains power. She has a strong focus and doubts and limits don’t bother her, Ashura savors pleasing her superiors, but more than anything else she savors pleasing herself, This even comes down to killing other's to obtain what SHE wants. Her self-confidence and trust in everything she does remains Ashura’s most outstanding attribute. Every movement, every word spoken and every breath taken is a commitment to herself, her ideals and her work. Ashura Wakahisa doesn’t doubt her own abilities nor does she believe in restricting limits. She voices her thoughts with a strong voice and never avoids eye-contact. However, while determined, Shura is not stubborn and capable of admitting defeat and mistakes, but only to herself. She would never admit defeat to anyone but her own. As a strangely curious individual who craves for power and for knowledge, Ashura is an observer and investigator. She’s not shy or reserved with her questions and studying people has become her most liked hobby. Shura can hardly suppress her thirst for information, even when it does put her into dangerous situations at times. Knowledge is power after all. A brilliant mind, a clear insight and decent understanding of even the most bizarre issues make Shura a resourceful personality. She’s access to a respectable amount of information gathered by herself and uses it to approach difficult problems with a solution in mind. Ashura’s highly skilled in acquiring information through communication and easily memorizes details. Her abilities to process, understand and remember make her a valuable researcher, or maniacal sociopath. However you look at it. Ashura can't stand the sight of mess or dirt. She’s a well organized person with the talent to remember the respective place of each and every little thing, making it impossible for her rooms and buildings in which she resides to become untidy. She rarely uses belongings as she’s always able to remember where she put them. Shura's mannerisms stand in direct contrast with her innocent appearance. She’s a sharp tongued and foul mouthed woman, known for her boldness and her sass. Ashura never once felt the need to change her rude attitude and has grown rather accustomed, enjoying the lack of formality especially around her superiors. Mockery and scorn often influence her radical choice of words, although she does know when to contain herself. With great confidence there comes great vanity. Whereas Shura’s self-esteem can be considered a positive trait of her personality, her arrogance certainly can not. She proudly admires her own reflection altogether and carries herself as the goddess that she is not. Treasuring her appearance like no other, Ashura is easily offended when someone fails to notice the efforts she has made to look even more gorgeous than usual. As mentioned before Ashura is incapable of blaming herself. To lift the weight from her shoulders, she’s always searched for and found another person to blame for her pain. Unable to grow stronger through her suffering and learn from experiences, Shura’s become a vindictive woman who’s obsessed with the idea of revenge, even when it’s completely unreasonable. She’s yet to learn how to forgive and move on. She’s not an honorable person; She takes pleasure in playing the damsel in distress simply to deceive and betray her victims. She’s cunning and her ruthless nature represents a real threat to those who fall for her. Ashura rarely trusts people and in a world full of lies, remaining honest and forgiving is clearly beyond the Wakahisa. She’s given up on dignity and merely acts and strikes to entertain herself. Ashura’s daredevilish nature is just another way of expressing her curiosity - in a negative way. She’s no coward and her daring nature easily gets her into critical situations which may or may not present an actual threat to her existence. She’s yet to learn to control her thirst, or she’ll suffer the consequences. Involvement with other races has always been Shura’s weakness and while aware of the danger, she’s sometimes almost too stubborn to back out. Currently living in her Psyche rests a dark and heavy consciousness; a blood thirsty creature that finds no end in swimming in chaos. It urges Ashura and speaks to her, weighing on her mind constantly. This is partially the reason why Shura is the way she is, a voice living inside your head convincing you to kill people; It goes by Hakurou and wants Shura's body for itself, so she is at a constant fight with the being, trying to block him out as she goes about her day. In truth she is a highly misunderstood creature, and there may be more to her being than even she herself knows. Likes: Fighting A woman obsessed with power she will fight to no lengths to get it; This includes fighting her own guild mates or seeking out avid challenges to prove that she is superior. In a sense she enjoys the thrill of finally being able to be killed, after living in the amount of time she has, Shura has a inner longing for death, but will not go out of her way to commit suicide, the idea crossed over her mind several times but she refuses to go out without causing chaos and destruction. Jasmine It seems odd that this woman can have such an undying love for a flower, but Ashura is passionate about the smell of the purple and blue hued White plant. Perhaps it derives from some unknown entity or is a hidden part of her long history, none the less she will make note of the fragrance if she comes across it. That and it is her favorite flavor for tea. Books She believes that knowledge is the key to power, so in her active search for power she is avidly researching. Any topic that peaks her interest she is sure to find some form of scripture on the matter; This can cover a wide birth of subjects, including resurrection to demons taints. She collects her records in a stored vault along with other items she has kept throughout the centuries. Calligraphy She enjoys the art of Calligraphy, and not just with a light pen or some source of metal ink pen either. She enjoys the rice paper, ink well, water vase, and paint brush calligraphy and has recently taken up the art. She likes to decorate her designated rooms and areas with hung quotes and words in traditional writing. Red While she may wear the color white in an obscene amount, she really prefers the color red. But not bright red like fire, more of the maroon red color of blood. It may just be her sick nature, but she really likes the way it looks on white. Red and white, the colors of passion. Dislikes: Heroes Ashura considers herself the heroine of her own story; So why would she need some goodytwoshoes to come into her business and tell her how she is doing injustice. To Shura she is in the right, only following what her heart and mind tell her, and the definition of good and evil is opinionated. Therefore she will never admit she is wrong, because she finds that her actions are always right by her. Loud Noises Ashura really can not stand sounds, be they high pitched or loud... She enjoys the peaceful sensations of quiet and will grow rather irritated if someone is talking to loud, or too much. She even disapproves with loud thunderous sounds; but is somehow fond of bone splintering screams and the sound of someone gurgling on their own blood. In this sense, she herself is quite hypocritical because any noise she creates be it loud or soft is justified. The Sun As a creature of darkness, she prefers the night and even cloudy days. Harsh sun makes her sneer in disgust, as her pale skin was a indication of how little sun she actually see's. Her favorite weather is that of lightning and rain. Sure it comes with thunder, but the loud booming from the sky is beautiful in her eyes and she can stand that sound. So for the most she will often parade around at night time, or venture out when it is cloudy, trying to avoid the sun at all costs. Ego Not her own... She has certainly came to terms with her ego; It is the large ego of others she loathes. As that would make them better than her... and no one is better than her! To bow down to the unworthy is a sin in her eyes and she would rather cut her own head off first. So for those that talk about their power constantly without being able to back it up with actions causes her to act in great disapproval, by removing their tongue from their dirty mouths. She also does not appreciate people talking down to her in such a way that would place her beneath them. Ugly People A woman of vanity, Ashura is disgusted by the concept of ugly people and will often kill them just to rid the stain from the world. Sure that sounds moronic and a bit hostile, but you are titled to your own opinion. Ashura believes that only people with a sense of beauty are allowed to live, as they are pure compared to those that are compared to roaches in the dirt. Motivations: Power There is little Ashura wouldn't do for Power. Kill, Lie, Cheat. She has and will do it all to obtain a higher status than she is currently standing in. Ace, Guildmaster, Magic Council, Chairman, God. These are all titles she is envious of and desires; thus she will do what she can to obtain her own desires. Shura has been known to give her allegiance to the highest bidder; whoever she could use for a time being that would be a successful foothold to gain power. Death Though she does not want to die at this time, she looks forward to a dark future, she looks forward to not having a future at all! After living her time she is eager for release. That said, she will not put herself in harm's way, just look forward to the epic fight that will be her undoing. Her ideal death would come with destruction and chaos. A true spectacle in the eyes of the beholder. She also will constantly look for the being that may possess the power to defeat her; If she can surpass that person, it means they were not the one. Vengeance Being born in the pits of hell she has developed a disdain for demonic beings; that is because she feels cheated out of life. She was not born a demon, no she was made one through torture and heinous rituals. To kill those that have done this is her ultimate goal, and to achieve this she must become more powerful than she is now. She feels pity however for the demonic that plague the earth already, feeling that they were wronged just like herself. Fears: Failure She has few goals, and to fail any of them is a fate she fears. To die before obstructing her vengeance? Never to gain the power and thus unable to defend herself. They all tie in together and Shura fears this as her future. To prevent this she refuses to compete in petty battles where she may end up doing something foolish, instead looking higher to possibilities; so for now she succumbs to those around her. For now. Darkness Not the type of darkness most people are afraid of; Ashura is afraid of the manifestation of Darkness within herself; That being her power growing out of control and taking over her psyche. There is a dark presence within her that aims to constantly take over Ashura's mind, and she is afraid to let that happen. At this point there is no threat, but how long will that last? Devil Slayers They are her true weakness, seeing as how she is Demon touched, she had all the weaknesses of any demonic being and facing a Devil Slayer seems like her death. So Shura will avoid all Devil Slayers, that is if she knows about them. What is that phrase, " Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer"? At this point she will live by that standard and not give off any indication of her demonic origin. Light the Fuse Within My Veins.... Legacy Created Guild: Ashura has chosen Black Air's as her Guild. Seeing the potential in this guild she aims to use them as much as they could use her. Constantly keeping in mind her goals the woman proceeds to begin her adventure as a Mage instead of just a Monster. Tattoo: The insignia of Black Air's rests square over her heart. The stark black color contrasting on her pale flawless flesh as it cups over her breast in an appealing manner. RP Sample: Azure orbs rested on the organic horizon, peering ahead softly as they took in the environment; It was going to rain soon, the salty smell filling her nose and the pressure of the air weighed heavily on her joints. Dark Grey clouds built up just above the tree's, and the first bolt of light could be seen in the distance, followed with a crack of thunder that echoed off the mountains she rested between. There was no sounds of birds chirping or wind whistling, it was just calm and peaceful, much like the phrase, ' The Calm before the Storm.' It certainly was going to storm, the way the clouds barreled over another indicated that it would be a rough one. Ashura did not mind however, she sat atop a boulder, crossing her ankles over one another and resting gently on the rough terrain. Silver tresses fell from her crown over her shoulders and curled at the nape of her perfectly arched back. Even though she was lounging atop a rock, she still sat with her habitual elegant posture, more as a form of practice rather than a forced position. The rain came in a soft drizzle, falling atop of the pale woman, causing goosebumps to crawl over her skin, the sudden cool air setting her on edge, though it did not bother her in terms of temperature wise. A solemn face hung low as she laid her hands out in her lap, caressing her fingertips lightly in her right palm she felt the texture of her prosthetic. How long had it been since she bore the mark of the demon? How long since she was determined to live an eternity alone? Shura smiled softly as this day reminded her much like the ones she experienced as a child.
He could have saved her that night.... Her head jolted up at the interrupting voice, quickly looking around to pinpoint the location it came from; Her eyes were a frenzy as they searched for movement. But found no form of person, and that was when it spoke once more. He could have saved you... He was there, weighing down on her mind; causing the woman to clasp her forehead in her fingertips, placing pressure on her temples as she closed her eyes in agony. He never left her be, never let her sleep, never let her have peace. Hakurou, the essence that wanted her being so badly, that wanted to devour her soul; he pushed the memories she wished to forget. Like the color of her sister's dress on that fateful day.
But that was your mistake wasn't it? Shura's blue eyes opened softly as she listened to the taunting remark, refusing to let it get to her. At least she tried to convince herself of that. A flash of light blinding her as it was instantly identified with a booming roar of thunder. The storm had grown harsh in the short time she sat on that rock. At least she thought it was a short time. How long had it been really? A few minutes? A few hours? But when you have lived for centuries, your sense of time becomes askew. The rain poured, soaking her garments, and wet hair clung to her face, masking her tears as rain ran down the bridge of her nose. Her eyes grew red and she closed them once more, raising her face to the sky and listening with open ears to the music of the world. She felt like screaming, like cursing the world for her pain, but that would be blaming something innocent. She knew exactly what caused her pain and how to exact her vengeance.
If only you stayed.... you could have died with them... Shura lived with that regret, cursing her own cowardly actions that kept her from saving them, or dying with them. Now she lived alone in a world that hated her, to be tortured by her own past. She cursed herself for the day she was weak, for the day she was unable to walk away from temptation.
Her mind wandered through her memories, centuries of gathered thoughts that complied into her psyche. Her Loved and Lost, her Gained, but most of all her Failures. Ashura sighed heavily as the sounds around her ceased. Blinking the water off her her eyes she opened them gently to see a ray of sun fade through the dark clouds, the rain coming to a stop and the thunder bellowing behind her. If only the light could push away her darkness. Standing in the light of the sparkling rays, Ashura bore her solemn face, as she was reminded once more of why she was the being that she is. About her victory is escaping the chains that held her mind, body and soul.
