Shugorei Name: Kiba
Usually a canine name it actually means 'fang' in japanese.

---

Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation?: Straight
Current mate?: None; and has little interest in one.
Image

---

Affinity: Chaotic

---

Personality: Kiba is cold, distrusting, quick to anger, and reserved.
He says little, does little, and is the pristine image of the perfect watch dog when it comes to his humans. He cares little for them, admittedly; doing anything he has to to protect them simply because it's his duty rather than because he actually feels the legitimate urge to shield them. His algid nature is deeply rooted in his own antiquities, what is unknown however is whether this is because of the humans he's encountered or perhaps something that happened to him directly. Regardless, he's seen as a brute who has little regard for others, and ironically enough, himself as well. His primary concern is constantly his human counterpart, and he serves under them with a sense of conformity unmatched by most of his breed.

in regards to romance...
Like anyone truly dedicated to their profession he finds he has little time and no real concern for a relationship. He may take a mate in the future, but she'd better not expect his attention. As far as he's concerned, partnership between shugorei as mates is for breeding purposes, he isn't one to support such comical, whimsical ideas such as love.

battle...
Under no circumstances does he harm others without being triggered to. He may have a distorted perspective of things and lean towards the chaotic, but, he isn't blatantly destructive. However, it doesn't take much to set off his fuse, so it would be best you left him and his master in peace, before you end up in pieces.

Story of how your Shugorei came to be/how you discovered:

If she peered through her scope lenses she could see him clearly, the man walking at an abnormally quick pace down the city streets. A briefcase was clutched between the fingers of his right hand, his eyes wandering about the alleys as he passed by each one rhythmically. It was odd, to see a man at this ungodly hour dressed in the black attire he was while aimlessly wandering the Tokyo streets alone.

The metallic barrel was lifted as she placed her fingers upon the trigger, a single eye of hers closing as she took aim. She froze at the sound of something tumbling to the ground behind her. Glancing back quickly she put the gun down and between her legs so it was out of sight, only to see that no one was there. It had just been a trash bin lid that had probably been blown off by the wind. Turning back to her quarry guilt gripped her, and for a moment, there was hesitancy before she managed to manifest the will to pull the sling back and release the bullet. At that moment, her chest filled and became intoxicated with an overbearing feeling of grief as she fought the urge to gag.

She tried to reason with herself to calm. Her tensed configuration and broadened gaze distinctly revealing the shock she now felt. Her tongue passing over her parched lips she took a shaken breath, unable to tear her gaze away from the unmoving corpse that now lay on the ground in the streets below. In her ears she continued to hear the sound of the guns signature discord, now unable to stand upright as she felt her backlegs buckle beneath her weight, causing her to collapse onto the ground.

Unable to continue handling the arduous weapon she now clasped in her palm she put it down beside her. "Father will be proud." she repeated quietly to herself. "Father will be proud." Recollecting the instructions her father had so carefully given her she took a camera out of her bag and took a photograph of the mangled body that lay sprawled along the sidewalk before quickly stashing her gun into her bag and scrambling down the fire-escape to head home with her precious cargo.

March 26, 2003 had been the first time Sol Racoch had murdered anyone, and she had just turned 9 years old.


His tail twitched impatiently as he sat atop the ledge, peering down at the woman below. Scars were evident along the girls face, her hands shoved into her black leather pockets. The woman had never seen Kiba, and knew nothing of his existence, but Kiba knew more about this girl than the human would ever care to know about herself.

Shugorei were assigned to watch all kinds of people, and Kiba, had been given the difficult task of minding a human known as Sol. Sol was a temperamental being who was also incredibly mentally unstable, and a murderer. She had been raised in Japan herself, though she'd moved around quite a bit as a child and adult alike, her father having been in the same business as her. One could say it was a 'family' business. Mercenaries were still relatively common in certain areas of Japan.

During his time watching the human Kiba had learned to become more cold in personality, his sense of pity dulling as he watched the girl repeatedly beat, and murder other humans. Perhaps in his time with the human he'd learned to be just as cruel and vicious, or maybe it had been in him all along, but eventually, he started to feel some sort of odd, deeper connection with this soul he was protecting. For at one point, he chose to reveal himself to her...

His movements spoke of the eternal chase between prey and predator, the explosion of gore at the climax, that gentle prayer the survivor offered. He paced along the rooftop with the madness of a murderer, and as his master approached, it was all the cat could do not to bristle when those dull eyes befell him.

"Why do you...do this!?" His tone was disdainful, disrespectful, but even he could not hide the curiosity that now stirred within his majestic gaze. His heavy paws halted, and the silence was dreadfully suffocating.

Sol swallowed reflexively, bunching the brown and white patterned gloves she wore on her hands within her fingers. She sought for a moment to try and explain the idea of her position while he continued on his familiar path around the curve of the rooftop and to the trash bin where he'd originally been sitting.

After a moment, the woman sighed and turned her near emotionless grey eyes to the other. "It's complicated... but surely even you can understand the idea of someone killing people for payment?" Her sentence was choppy and hesitant in places, where she was unsure whether her inquisitor recognized the English term of 'assassination.'

But Kiba merely hefted a mighty snort and began walking back and forth again, his muscles tensing and trembling. "But...your not that evil. Murder, of any kind, is evil. I don't understand why you do this Sol...as a child you showed such reluctance." The memory of the infant he'd watch metamorphosize into the killer she was today was...stirring, to say the least. It was difficult to watch someone so pure become something so gnarled and twisted simply because of the person that had raised them. He'd seen her first murder, and he'd tried to stop it. He'd knocked over a trash bin lid as to try and frighten her from that rooftop...but to no avail.

Frowning, the feline watched his master, his eyes locked at a dagger she now wielded in her right palm; but by that time Sol was lost in the memories she so carefully encased within her mind and had rifled an explanation. "It's not all bad you know."
Kiba's ears lifted, twitching. Evidently from his expression he was confused....even he knew murder was considered abominable. Though he had indeed killed before, he didn't do it the way she did. Not for money, not for power.
"Many of the people I kill," she began explaining in a gingerly manner, "are bad people. Gang leaders, people who are really better off dead. I know it may seem difficult to accept, especially considering that, well yes, I have killed some innocent people," she admitted quietly, "but in the process, Im also clearing out the wicked." she paused a moment, her eyes meeting his to see his reaction. "You see?"
Image

Quirking one thick eyebrow, Kiba felt his claws knead the ground beneath him. "And so you find it right, that your actions are a means to an end?" He questioned, his tone hardened as he watched the dispassionate gaze of the other. This time, Sol was unperturbed by the hostility he presented in his tone.
"Yes." she replied quickly.
Kiba adopted a look of concern, his eyes wandering over her. "You have a disfigured view of things Sol. It isn't healthy."
"That may be true." she admitted, seeming to think it over a moment, "but, based on what you've told me about yourself Kiba," she said, her lips coiling into a slight smile. "it seems you do too."

Username: NARANDA

Shugorei Name: Akimitsu
Pronounced: (AH kee mee tsoo)
Origin: Japanese
Meaning: Autumn Light
Kanji:
ImageImage

Affinity: Chaotic

Gender: Male
Status: Single
Orientation: Straight

Parents: Unknown
Siblings: Unknown


Favorite Quote:
"Our Family Is Not A Choice,
Neither Where Their Loyalty Lies,
But Where Your Heart Is,
Is A Choice For You To Decide."
-By Me (NARANDA)

Personality:
Akimitsu is a rather calm and quiet shugorei. He would rather think things over and plan what his next move his rather than rushing into something he has no time to prepare for. Due to the feelings of the girl he was guarding, Akimitsu was corrupted. His feelings towards her were caring and kind, but he feels the same way she does, He thirsts for revenge and wishes for harm on those that hurt her. Akimitsu is callous and vicious towards pure Shugorei, and could care less for other chaotic. Normally, Akimitsu has a serious attitude around him wherever he goes, though many would think a chaotic shugorei would be wicked, dark, nasty, and pure evil.
Though Akimitsu shows these feelings, those who are lucky enough to get close to him find a hidden surprise within him. Underneath all of that hostility, one who is lucky enough, can find that he longs for love. Akimitsu lingers to love as this is how his protection feels. Love is something that he wont mess around with.

Story of how your Shugorei came to be/how you discovered:

The cell in which I sat was cold and dark, too dark, for it even seeped into my soul, blocking the light that had kept me sane for so long.
It was stuffy and the air was thick with dust for the cells have never been cleaned before, since the day the bricks were laid.

I haven't always lived like this. I used to be a normal girl, with a family, friends, a home, schooling and freedom, but now I am nothing but a slave. Why did I have to choose that path on that night so long ago. Or at least I think it was long ago, for I have lost track of time in the dark, cold cell in which I am kept when not needed by the master.

 My master is cruel and has a heart of black ice. He doesn't care for my health, my happiness, or anything about me. I'm nothing but a filthy pest that has to do his bidding. He beats me and works me till I drop and can't move, sometimes he'll work me beyond that point. Sometimes I believe my self dead, only to wake up in a living nightmare, with sore muscles and dark bruises that even reach down to my soul.

The other slaves look on me with pity when they see me, except for a few who just snicker and sneer. I do not have anyone to call my friend among the other slaves, for they are either too afraid or don't want me to get hurt. Why must this life be so lonely, why must it be just me going through this?

I sat in the corner, my arms wrapped around my legs and my head down. I dared not cry, for the master would just beat me harder and I already had no more tears to cry.

A golden light then flickered in the corner, revealing a feline the size of a house cat, yet it was no house cat of any kind. A name came to mind when I saw him and I knew it wasn't my thought, but that of the being in which I stared. 'Akimitsu' was the name I heard. He slowly walked towards me, and I became frightened. There was no windows and the door could not be opened by anyone other than the slave keeper and my master. How had this being gotten in? And what was he? 'I am your Shugorei' I heard as a reply. 'A spirit guardian' I stared in shock before reaching foreword, and then watched as he leaned and placed his forehead upon my palm.

Akimitsu's POV:
I watched the night she was taken from her life and forced into slavery, I was a pure Shugorei then. I didn't show myself then, only hoped that she would have a good master, but I was wrong. She got the cruelest master there ever was and slowly she started to fall apart. She lost track of time, but I didn't. She was a slave for months before I showed myself to her.

Before I showed myself though, my heart started to change. I was no longer pure, but instead became Chaotic. I didn't want to be chaotic, but the urge to get revenge for the torture of my protection was strong. I hated how she was treated and felt the need to destroy the man who was causing her all this pain.

I watched in the corner of the cell that night and knew she needed someone, knew she needed me. I appeared, allowing my lamp to flicker and the light to touch her skin. She looked up, a bit surprised. I then told her my name, not out loud, but she knew it was me telling her. I started slowly towards her, hoping not to scare her too much. I spoke to her again, telling her I was her Shugorei, a spirit guardian. I came closer and she reached out her hand, then and urge came to me to comfort her, so I place my forehead in the middle of her palm in a comforting manner, feeling an even greater connection come between us.

A New Friend:
I was unable to help her the next time the master needed her. The guards came him and grabbed her, dragging her through the halls to the room on her cruel master. Oh, how angry that made me! They could not see me, and I could not harm them at the moment, which made me more frustrated. How was I going to help her? First, we needed a plan to get away, or get rid of the master. That would be the hardest thing she would ever do, bringing the dagger down to destroy the one who hurt her for so long.

I worked with her each night in that dark cell, teaching her not to be upset when the life seeps out of the man she would have to most likely kill. If only we had more help in this plan though, but wait, maybe we do. Their was another girl there, a human, cat shifter. She had come with a friend of the master, another noble. Maybe she could help us, and then we can leave her here to get caught instead of us. She would be the perfect distraction for when we make our escape.

She could see me because she was partially feline herself. I told her we would help get her out, that she would have freedom if she helped us escape. She agreed. Oh how well this plan would go with the other slave as a distraction. We would run off while she got left here to be caught by her master. I went back to my protection, back to the cold, dark cell. Soon we would be out, soon we would be free,
Or so we thought...

That very night, the slave girl came with shocking news. My protection had been sold to her master. This would ruin our plans! Everything we worked so hard for had just faded into nothing. Our old plan could not work on the new master. He was far crueler than the old and was a demon. His demon blood made him too strong to kill and there were too many guards.

We sat in the corner of our new cell, forlorn expressions upon our faces. I tried to comfort her, but it was in vain and she would now never be free. We shared a cell with the same slave girl I had planned to make a distraction. Her name was Neia and she hadn't always been a slave. She was caught in an alleyway and dragged here by the guards. Her and my protection became friends, the first she had in a whole year and I was happy for her, but my heart stayed cold to the slave girl, for a longer period of time.

It took me many more months to warm up to the other slave, but she sorta came like a second protection to me. Because she was partially feline she could not have an official Shugorei, so I protected her instead. I probably warmed up to her because my protection was very connected to her. I would not allow either to die, for it would break the other's heart. I knew I could not protect them much longer. More demons came each day and Neia was gone more and more, forced to work for the demons at the parties and the guests. Each night Neia would come back with another wound. My protection became worried, but Neia would say nothing of what was being done to her in order to protect my human from the shock and even more worry.

I knew Neia has multiple lives, but I knew that she would not remember us in her next life. That was one disadvantage about having multiple lives, you could never remember your family or friends, you have to start over from scratch. At least Neia would have a better life, hopefully, if something happened to her while she worked here.

We had to find a way out, and quick. There was no way we were going to leave Neia behind this time, she was coming with us. We could not kill the master, but we could sure try and get past him. As the girls worked each day they looked for ways out around the castle. Neia got another boy to help us escape, Kamen. He was a human, horse shifter, a rebellious slave.

We worked hard till the day we were supposed to reap our reward. We snuck through the secret tunnel my protection had found. Then there was yelling from behind us. We had been discovered. We ran through the large tunnel, the guards not far behind, when we heard a whoosh and down went Kamen in a tangle of netting. He told us to keep going so we did, but Neia hesitated, allowing herself to be caught. I turned around to help her, but she yelled for us to keep running, yelled that it was too late for her. Me and my protection ran, no more guards chasing us. We escaped, but at the cost of our friends freedom, and probably life. We cried that night for our new close friend, and hoped she would one day have a better life without slavery.

Little did we know that we would see Neia again one day.
Though, not under happy circumstances...

Next Meeting:
We were in the shopping market next time we saw Neia. She looked tired, and had many scars and bruises. She wore a sort of collar and was with a guard as they did some shopping for the master. Oh, how hatred for that man filled my soul at the sight of what he had done to Neia. My protection was shocked by the sight of Neia and the bad shape she was in. 'We need to help her' she thought, and I heard that, but I knew there was not much we could do. There were too many demons in the house of the master, and we were no match for them. I also sensed something new, something I had always thought to be a myth, Crow Tengu. I believed in many spirits, but the crow tengu was one that I had never seen and so I did not believe they existed. I knew we could not fight those without power from the gods.

Neither of us spoke as we walked backed to the place in which we were staying. We were staying in a small basement of a family who took pity on us. We didn't intereact with them much and bought all our own stuff, which was very little. All we had in our little temporary home at the time was a bed, an ice box and a fireplace. The need for revenge still filled us both, and it was much stronger now, for we both wanted revenge for Neia, our one and only friend. My protection couldn't find anyone that she really connected to as a friend and missed Neia dearly.

We walked into our temporary home and my protection walked over to the bed. She sat down and yawned, she was much more tired now, and filled with worry. I hoped up and laid in her lap, allowing her to pet me in order to help her calm down and relax. I reassured her that Neia would be fine, even though I didn't know it myself. We sat there for hours before she laid down, me wrapped in her arms, purring. I stayed by her until she fell asleep, then I snuck out of her grip and sat on the windowsill, watching everything that moved in the darkness around the house.

Turning back to her quarry guilt gripped her, and for a moment, there was hesitancy before she managed to manifest the will to pull the sling back and release the bullet. At that moment, her chest filled and became intoxicated with an overbearing feeling of grief as she fought the urge to gag.

Her tongue passing over her parched lips she took a shaken breath, unable to tear her gaze away from the unmoving corpse that now lay on the ground in the streets below.

Unable to continue handling the arduous weapon she now clasped in her palm she put it down beside her. "Father will be proud." she repeated quietly to herself. "Father will be proud." Recollecting the instructions her father had so carefully given her she took a camera out of her bag and took a photograph of the mangled body that lay sprawled along the sidewalk before quickly stashing her gun into her bag and scrambling down the fire-escape to head home with her precious cargo.

March 26, 2003 had been the first time Sol Racoch had murdered anyone, and she had just turned 9 years old.


His tail twitched impatiently as he sat atop the ledge, peering down at the woman below. Scars were evident along the girls face, her hands shoved into her black leather pockets. The woman had never seen Kiba, and knew nothing of his existence, but Kiba knew more about this girl than the human would ever care to know about herself.

Shugorei were assigned to watch all kinds of people, and Kiba, had been given the difficult task of minding a human known as Sol. Sol was a temperamental being who was also incredibly mentally unstable, and a murderer. She had been raised in Japan herself, though she'd moved around quite a bit as a child and adult alike, her father having been in the same business as her. One could say it was a 'family' business. Mercenaries were still relatively common in certain areas of Japan.

During his time watching the human Kiba had learned to become more cold in personality, his sense of pity dulling as he watched the girl repeatedly beat, and murder other humans. Perhaps in his time with the human he'd learned to be just as cruel and vicious, or maybe it had been in him all along, but eventually, he started to feel some sort of odd, deeper connection with this soul he was protecting. For at one point, he chose to reveal himself to her...

His movements spoke of the eternal chase between prey and predator, the explosion of gore at the climax, that gentle prayer the survivor offered. He paced along the rooftop with the madness of a murderer, and as his master approached, it was all the cat could do not to bristle when those dull eyes befell him.

"Why do you...do this!?" His tone was disdainful, disrespectful, but even he could not hide the curiosity that now stirred within his majestic gaze. His heavy paws halted, and the silence was dreadfully suffocating.

Sol swallowed reflexively, bunching the brown and white patterned gloves she wore on her hands within her fingers. She sought for a moment to try and explain the idea of her position while he continued on his familiar path around the curve of the rooftop and to the trash bin where he'd originally been sitting.

After a moment, the woman sighed and turned her near emotionless grey eyes to the other. "It's complicated... but surely even you can understand the idea of someone killing people for payment?" Her sentence was choppy and hesitant in places, where she was unsure whether her inquisitor recognized the English term of 'assassination.'

But Kiba merely hefted a mighty snort and began walking back and forth again, his muscles tensing and trembling. "But...your not that evil. Murder, of any kind, is evil. I don't understand why you do this Sol...as a child you showed such reluctance." The memory of the infant he'd watch metamorphosize into the killer she was today was...stirring, to say the least. It was difficult to watch someone so pure become something so gnarled and twisted simply because of the person that had raised them. He'd seen her first murder, and he'd tried to stop it. He'd knocked over a trash bin lid as to try and frighten her from that rooftop...but to no avail.

Frowning, the feline watched his master, his eyes locked at a dagger she now wielded in her right palm; but by that time Sol was lost in the memories she so carefully encased within her mind and had rifled an explanation. "It's not all bad you know."
Kiba's ears lifted, twitching. Evidently from his expression he was confused....even he knew murder was considered abominable. Though he had indeed killed before, he didn't do it the way she did. Not for money, not for power.
"Many of the people I kill," she began explaining in a gingerly manner, "are bad people. Gang leaders, people who are really better off dead. I know it may seem difficult to accept, especially considering that, well yes, I have killed some innocent people," she admitted quietly, "but in the process, Im also clearing out the wicked." she paused a moment, her eyes meeting his to see his reaction. "You see?"

Quirking one thick eyebrow, Kiba felt his claws knead the ground beneath him. "And so you find it right, that your actions are a means to an end?" He questioned, his tone hardened as he watched the dispassionate gaze of the other. This time, Sol was unperturbed by the hostility he presented in his tone.
"Yes." she replied quickly.
Kiba adopted a look of concern, his eyes wandering over her. "You have a disfigured view of things Sol. It isn't healthy."
"That may be true." she admitted, seeming to think it over a moment, "but, based on what you've told me about yourself Kiba," she said, her lips coiling into a slight smile. "it seems you do too."

I would use him for drawing, maybe roleplaying, and writing stories. ^^
