Tsukino Emica
Vixen
"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything. "
General Information Age: 16
Gender: Female
Height: 165cm
Weight: 50kg
Physical Features:
- Face/head: After undergoing the bonding process, Emica’s face took on a narrower set with sharp features. Her teeth have taken on a sharper look with elongated canines that resemble fangs. Her eyes changed colors, becoming amber with oval slitted pupils positioned vertically. Her hair changed colors to become a light rust red, which she wears up in a bun to keep from snagging on objects. A pair of vulpine ears sits atop her head, reddish in hue around the rims. Inside each ear is filled with fine white hairs while the backs are covered in black fur. Though few know it, because she keeps them hidden under her hair, she still has normal human ears as well. The skin on her face is naturally fair, but she uses cosmetics to shade the upper half of her face (from the tops of her cheeks up) a rust red matching her hair. In addition, she paints her lips black, contrasting the flashing whites of her fangs.
- Body: The most notable thing that is immediately apparent about Vixen’s body, besides her tails, is the transition from fair to dark skin that happens below the joints of the elbow and knee. Darkly colored, her appendages better hide the small claws that have grown in place of normal nails, the dark razors blending with her skin tone. From between her vulpine ears down the center of her back runs a darker colored stripe (in her hair and on her skin). A second stripe runs between her shoulder blades, forming a cross on her upper back. At the base of her spine where the stripe terminates are her tails. Each of her three tails are a brownish rust red in color terminating in a white tip that nearly brushes the ground. Her figure is lean, built more for speed than power. She has surprisingly well-developed shoulders and arms as someone who practices extensively with throwing. Scars big and small are littered over her body, evidence of cuts gained in battle and training. Given the number, one can assume she doesn’t shy away from confrontation, or perhaps that she is a masochist.
- Notable Features: Vulpine eyes, ears, fangs, claws, and three tails.
Personality:
- General: Teenage and rebellious. Emica seethes at the state of affairs in the world. Being told no makes her see red. She’s done listening to her elders, letting them steer her life with fear and pain. She’s decided to take charge, give herself a new name, and strike down anyone who stands in the way. Everyone else has it wrong, and she’s just the one to set it right.
Vixen is an anarchist. She believes that people should be free, and that pain and fear are what keep people in a bondage of their own making. People fear pain and loss. They build lives based around the junk they acquire. To be free means to cut away those attachments, endure that pain, and free your mind of the fear which made you a slave.
The slaves of the world (read: almost everyone) need to be freed. Vixen believes she is the one to lead the world into the future that should be. It’s not that she is better than other people or should rule. People should rule themselves and find out if they are truly better. No. It’s because she is enlightened. She has seen the righteous path that Lord Jashin has placed this world upon. Now its her responsibility to see his will be manifest for the good of all. It would all happen eventually, but we don’t have forever in this life to find freedom. For those incapables of finding freedom in this life, she can always free their souls to find it in the next one. - Hopes/Dreams: To free the world. What else?
- Fears: I’m not afraid. I’ve cast off my fear and pain is my ally. You can’t control me any more!
- Combat Mentality: As a Tsukino, Vixen is in possession of fine sensory perception through her ability to see vibrations. As such she has learned to take away her opponent’s ability to perceive her with mist and stealth techniques. With her opponent unable to detect her, she plies ranged techniques and jutsu to both trap and injure them from a distance. That isn’t to say that she is afraid of entering to close conflicts. Indeed, one of the striking things about her is her willingness to allow herself to come to harm in the process of carrying out her plans.
Beyond no longer fearing pain, she has learned to take pleasure from it. Often, she is at her most dangerous when her opponents think she is at her most weak or defeated. In close range she wields her own blood as a weapon, forming it into spikes that launch from her body to impale her enemies. Worse, once her blood has made contact with an opponent (internal or external), she can use it to attack directly and violently.
Her biggest weakness is not her overconfidence, but her disregard for her own health. Death is but the freedom to enter the next life and walk beside Lord Jashin.

Vixen doesn't carry much, as she finds attachments to things to be part of man's bondage. What she does carry is a single small pouch that hides nicely under the bottom of her three tails. Inside she keeps her poison as well as spare senbon (x60). She wears a cuff made of while leather around each of her forearms with nickel plates buckles. Each contains 15 senbon with poisoned tips in individual slots that run vertically around the reachable perimiter of her arm. She also keeps a single senbon in her hair as a pin for her bun.
She uses these in the name of the sacred duty of bringing pain to the world, thus excusing herself from her attachment. Vixen deludes herself into thinking that she could get rid of them at any time, however she is reliant upon them in reality.

Abilities and Concentrations
| Abilities | |
|---|---|
| First Ability | Kitsune no KaoShow After merging with a fox, a Tsukino inherits many of the fox’s own physical features and potential. This takes the form of a small amount of the fox's features, namely a pair of fox-like ears and fox-like tails which multiply as their own powers grow (3 tails at Chuunin, 5 at Jounin, 9 at Bannin or Kage). The main ability of these foxes however are their extrasensory systems. A Tsukino’s ears are laced with vibration sensitive fur that forms the basis of a network of sensory paths in their brain, allowing them to feel nearby vibration as a form of sonar-sight. This works only in a small space around them but is greatly enhanced by nearby water as the liquid vibrations carry cleanly to their ears, allowing them to hear disturbances to water especially well. Even masses of vapor such as mist transmit such vibrations well. Without adequate water a Tsukino’s sense extends around them for (Instinct/3) meters and can form rudimentary shapes and images in that radius but no further. Vibrations caused by water being interacted with, or vibrations traveling through water, can project much further and more clearly, up to (Instinct/2) meters out. This advantage comes with it's own downside. Much as a normal person can be blinded with intense light a Tsukino’s sense can be temporarily shorted out by intense noises. Techniques that cause conflicting vibration can also dampen their senses, but these can be overcome using techniques. |

Once the water is expelled, it will form an umbrella shape that is concave to the user and about two meters in diameter. This defense is somewhat solid and can be formed in any direction the user can spit, up to five meters away. The defense is shot at a speed of 8 and has a strength of 10 and unless completely destroyed it lasts for three posts before falling lifelessly to the ground.
*Suiton • Water Shuriken
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user will form a shuriken of water that can be thrown approximately 6 centimeters in diameter in their hand. When kai'd, this shuriken explodes with a force equal to a D-Rank explosion and covers the immediate area in water. If not consumed, this technique lasts for three posts.
*Suiton • Propel Leap
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After channeling chakra into their hands the user will fire two jets of water from their hand, essentially hurling and propelling themselves in the opposite direction of their jets as if thrown by a strength of 5. Can be used once to throw themselves with 5 strength.

Once the target is inside, the user must hold the last seal and cannot use any other techniques, capable of holding this for up to five posts. In order to escape, the target must have at least 15 strength to physically make their way out, or the user must be disrupted. Most shinobi would pass out after two posts due to a lack of oxygen. However, if a target possesses a stamina stat higher than 10, it would require three posts for them to pass out. Should the target possess a stamina stat above 20, it would require five posts for them to pass out, but anything higher than 30 would allow them to resist passing out altogether.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Emica, bled for the family Muramasa, born of the family Tsukino was born in Kirigakure no Saito. Unsurprisingly, she was a playful child, spending her youth at the family onsen located in the military district. As a child she was wrapped up in the stardom that kirigakure lavishes on its favored ninja, collecting their memorabilia and autographs obsessively. She kept a special autograph book just for the occasion, hiding it away when not obtaining a choice autograph.
Then one day her autograph book went missing. She was six. She cried and cried, finding out the next day that her cousin had stolen it from her. She confronted her cousin out in the streets, but he was older and stronger. For her troubles she got shoved into the mud. Then a proud shinobi came to her rescue. He smacked her cousin over the head and took the book back. Instead of returning it though, he shredded it too little bits with the power of the wind, telling her, “Now they can never take it from you again.”
She cried and wailed that night, for her prized possession had been destroyed, but in time her pain passed. Soon she came to realize the wisdom of the shinobi who had destroyed her book and began to idolize him. Though he was largely unknown in the village, Emica remembered. Whenever her bully of a cousin would try to take something from her, she’d destroy it. Better gone than his.
Eventually though, it was time for Emica to join the academy. She was nine. Her savior, the ninja whose face she could recall if she closed her eyes, found her at the academy. It was there he observed that she had learned and decided to teach her more of his ways: the ways of Lord Jashin. Lord Jashin taught us that attachments were wrong and against his ways. The world was a world of chaos, and we had to learn to be part of that chaos, not resist it.
Emica learned well the ways of Jashin, but took longer to graduate than most, for she was always getting hurt. She seemed to delight in both her own pain, and that of her classmates. Her secret lessons had taught her much out of the eye of the academy instructors. When she graduated, her mentor told her she would be reborn through pain. He was right.
The Tsukino merging process is not a nice one. Many take some time to recover and are somewhat scarred by the experience of the transformation. Not Emica. When she emerged from the dark room of her transformation, she was grinning like the fox she had merged with. Her smile stayed as her parents waned. Soon after her transformation she decided to leave the home she was born in, moving in with her mentor. After all, were her parents not just another attachment?
She trained herself in those couple of years, building up her skills. She performed missions for the village but resented the control they held over her and her mentor’s cow toeing to them. Why did they need the village? They were sinners under Lord Jashin’s law. Her mentor tried to make her understand, but this only frustrated her more.
Vixen, as she had decided to call herself, decided that her gift to herself for her sixteenth birthday would be to purify herself before Lord Jashin, so she planned to be out on a mission with her mentor on that day. They were supposed to be out hunting a group reported to have attacked a slaver ship. Instead, Vixen cut away her reliance on her mentor. He was her largest attachment, and with his sacred demise she would please Lord Jashin. With him out of the way, there would be nothing holding her to the village anymore.
Vixen waited for the two of them to engage the slavers, then got herself injured and bled all over her mentor, then pierced his heart with her blood. Freed of her final attachment to her previous life, she fled into the countryside, fleeing the country to begin her sacred work of freeing he world.

Soon she came to realize the wisdom of the shinobi who had destroyed her book and began to idolize him. Though he was largely unknown in the village, Emica remembered. Whenever her bully of a cousin would try to take something from her, she’d destroy it. Better gone than his.
Eventually though, it was time for Emica to join the academy. She was nine. Her savior, the ninja whose face she could recall if she closed her eyes, found her at the academy. It was there he observed that she had learned and decided to teach her more of his ways: the ways of Lord Jashin. Lord Jashin taught us that attachments were wrong and against his ways. The world was a world of chaos, and we had to learn to be part of that chaos, not resist it.
Emica learned well the ways of Jashin, but took longer to graduate than most, for she was always getting hurt. She seemed to delight in both her own pain, and that of her classmates. Her secret lessons had taught her much out of the eye of the academy instructors. When she graduated, her mentor told her she would be reborn through pain. He was right.
The Tsukino merging process is not a nice one. Many take some time to recover and are somewhat scarred by the experience of the transformation. Not Emica. When she emerged from the dark room of her transformation, she was grinning like the fox she had merged with. Her smile stayed as her parents waned. Soon after her transformation she decided to leave the home she was born in, moving in with her mentor. After all, were her parents not just another attachment?
She trained herself in those couple of years, building up her skills. She performed missions for the village but resented the control they held over her and her mentor’s cow toeing to them. Why did they need the village? They were sinners under Lord Jashin’s law. Her mentor tried to make her understand, but this only frustrated her more.
Vixen, as she had decided to call herself, decided that her gift to herself for her sixteenth birthday would be to purify herself before Lord Jashin, so she planned to be out on a mission with her mentor on that day. They were supposed to be out hunting a group reported to have attacked a slaver ship. Instead, Vixen cut away her reliance on her mentor. He was her largest attachment, and with his sacred demise she would please Lord Jashin. With him out of the way, there would be nothing holding her to the village anymore.
Vixen waited for the two of them to engage the slavers, then got herself injured and bled all over her mentor, then pierced his heart with her blood. Freed of her final attachment to her previous life, she fled into the countryside, fleeing the country to begin her sacred work of freeing he world.
