Name: Ayano Mariko Gender: Female Age: Forty
Height: Five feet Weight: One hundred and fourty five pounds. Appearance:
image An office worker, and personal receptionist/assistant, by trade Ayano's body is pretty....average. She's not super muscular, hell she couldn't even be called well built either, nor does she have massive fat deposits. Long black hair, often tied up into a bun to keep it out of the way, reaches down to about her waist. The funny thing is no matter how short she has it cut it reaches that length again in a couple of weeks time an odd occurrence noted by many of her colleagues much to her dismay.
White skin and an angled face, ending in a pointed chin, are key features of Ayano's face but something worthy paying attention to is her brown eyes...and the stress induced signs of fatigue that surrounded them. Yes Ayano often has difficulty getting to sleep, due to a certain VERY PRESSING ISSUE, and has the bags underneath her eyes to show it. Besides that she does manage to maintain a healthy body weight and still manages to get at least some sleep if not a perfect amount. Beyond that there is very little to actually mention about her as really she's the pinnacle of normality or at the very least tries to act it.
Occupation: Receptionist/office worker/personal assistant
Residency: A one person apartment in the city; she lives by herself and so does not desire a bigger house.
Personality:
personality Ayano is.....normal. Utterly and totally. She wakes up, goes to work, does her job, drinks with her colleagues and then goes home to pass away her free time. She has no super special hobby, being a massive sucker for crime drama shows and shopping, yet has plenty to while away the hours. In fact on the weekends she often goes out, shops with her friends, socialises and generally just engages in normal hobbies. It's all very vanilla and plain which is exactly how Ayano likes it. No variety of life spice here please.
Really she may seem immensely boring compared to a lot of people but that's due to Ayano's greatest desire: to have a normal life. She is immensely unambitious in life perfectly content with a simple existence. However this lack of ambition is due to the fact she feels she doesn't have much control over her life anymore. The lack of ambition is because she pretty much gave up on her dreams because she was continuously unable to afford the education she needed to get her dream job. Additionally due to her age she merely decided to stop trying; can't be a student for ever after all.
The events, and the reality, of her life have made Ayano immensely...submissive. She no longer really cares for advancing or climbing the ladders of society like she used to but has cultivated highly desirable skills in an assistant. A high level of tolerance for "silliness" coupled with her reliability and resourcefulness are what make Ayano so good at her career path. Of course some small part of her does wish her life turned out differently than the dull "surviving" experience she lives, which tends to come out when she's drunk, but alas..such wistful hopes are fleeting! For truly Ayano has forsaken dreams for survival....
On a more general note she may be dull and not very interesting but you could easily sum up her nature as "the house wife." She may be plain, normal and not have the most interesting hobbies but she's friendly, sticks to the rules and fully supportive of her friend's dreams; although perhaps that is due to her wishes that things turned out differently. Perhaps she subconsciously doesn't want the same fate to befall others but other way she'd do anything for her friend's dreams. In fact assisting them in that regard is the only time she shows any real passion for anything anymore as, like you've probably realised, Ayano really does have some very deep seated issues locked away in the old noggin.
History:
history
As the name would imply Ayano was born in Japan specifically Osaka to a very average family with no real issues other than perhaps a mother that maybe spent a bit too much time drinking. She may never have noticed it at that young age but the seeds of Ayano's future had already been planted. Apart from the friction that her mother's drinking caused Ayano's childhood was immensely plain. No great legacy, no heir to any power and no deaths in the family.
Primary school and the period of her life surrounding it were perfectly normal as was secondary school so let us skip that and move all the way to when she was hoping to enter Higher Education. By this point her mother's drinking had resulted in a car crash which inflicted some serious injuries. Injuries so severe that they negatively affected her ability to perform in real life. At first Ayano's father looked after his mentally incapable wife. However after two years the financial pressure and other demands got to him causing him to just be gone one day.
Now obviously with a mother unable to look after herself or work and with bills to pay Ayano was forced into to look after her. Not only did she have to get two jobs in order to pay for a carer to look after her mother; after all she could not possibly work two jobs AND look after a disabled person. This continued for years on end often resulting in Ayano failing the entrance exams for post-secondary education because she never had time to study. It was fortunate that she had actually shown an aptitude in her career as a receptionist and so got to the point she only needed one job.
Only needing one job did free Ayano up to actually study for university but guess what? She was thirty by that point. The moment the demands work had placed on her lessened she looked at where she was in life and realised it was too late. By this point in her life she was just feeling tired and worn down that drive she had to attend University having faded long ago. She was so used to her current life and the routines of it that to change them was just something she wouldn't even consider due to the amount of upheaval in her life. Simply put complacency, generally being worn down and a lack of ambition are why she has given up on her aspirations.
Skip forward to five years ago and Ayano's mother had died having fallen down the stairs one day. Ayano grieved and moved on just in time for her company's planned move to Kaneshima. Ayano didn't want to move to the island with the rest of the company, after all her friends all lived on the mainland, but doing so would have meant the loss of her job. She could have easily found another but her employer was a very....persistent women and Ayano did not want to shake up her life having grown a little scared of change. With that in mind she packed her bags, said good bye and bought an apartment on the island.
In the five years since moving to the island that was when Olivia got involved. There was no special ceremony, no inheritance style affair or a special artefact behind Ayano becoming Olivia's host. The lost spirit picked Ayano out of EVERY one else on the island for one very good reason: they had a lot in common. Once Olivia had been in a similar position to Ayano worn down and tired due to the reality of the life they lived. Olivia could not, and indeed would not, tolerate anyone having such a pitiful existence and so forced Ayano to serve as her host. Now she randomly possess her at moments to try and spice Ayano's life up! Get her a boyfriend or give her some reason to be less of a grumpy stick in the mud! Much to Ayano's chagrin...
Powers and Abilities:
Olivia image gallery Olivia is, as her appearance leads you to believe, obviously not human. She used to be but now she is a simple spirit who refused to move on. Spending years on planet Earth wallowing in her regrets and desiring a second chance, while also feeding off similar emotions, eventually empowered Olivia over many decades. In fact only in the past sixty to seventy years has she actually accumulated enough spiritual power to physically manifest herself in the world; something she is very grateful for as other people's bodies are "ugh..so drab!" In terms of personality she is head strong, confident, selfish and highly greedy. She knows what she wants and she will take it damn what everyone else thinks! Yet there is also an element of remorse, not to mention pain given the injustice she suffered, to her personality and actions. A lot of the time she will come off as selfish and greedy but she can in fact be very loyal...provided you earn her loyalty a very difficult thing to do nowadays. It's a long story but let's say she was betrayed in the past. Olivia's driving motivation is making up for lost time and getting what she deserves. In her life (1840 to 1880) she was the perfect housewife loyal, obedient and used to be viewed as inferior to the male gender. She wants to make up for lost time by enjoying the freedoms, and perhaps satisfying her lust for good old fashioned payback, she was denied in her own mortal life. Of course despite her callousness she does care for Ayano out of self preservation and genuine concern. Perhaps this is due to repressed emotions during her life or simply a way to spite the society she grew up in but Olivia is VERY flirtatious yet she never actually falls in love with a single soul; it is far too restrictive for her. She teases, taunts and flirts with people for many different reasons ranging from her own amusement or to get something she wants. Either way be very cautious and watch your back if she displays an active interest in you; she won't stab you in the back but she will get you into an awful lot of trouble. Finally there is the matter of how Ayano adopts the form of Olivia and the rules around it. Adopting the form is simple either Ayano can request it..or Olivia can merely take control whenever she likes. As such there's no duration or cool down associated with the form. However...injuries sustained in either form are shared between them yet oddly enough sickness, like the common cold, isn't. It's strange given how it is the same body just in a vastly different physical form but "spooky spirit stuff" is weird. Abilities:
- The Lupara Quartet:
The Lupara Quartet are a series of four magical armaments, two of which she has attached to her heels, based upon the Silverhawk Beretta. As the name would imply they follow the Lupara design having had the barrels shortened, the stock replaced with a custom made handgun grip with a few magical effects added in for good measure. Can't be going around with sub par gear now can we?
They would not be magical armaments without some fancy abilities so let's get into them. Firstly she never needs to reload the weapon due to the endless supply of ammo. Secondly. She can use different ammunition, provided it fits her weapons, however it isn't infinite and adheres to the properties of that ammunition. Thirdly the weapons can injured magical or spiritual beings basically anything like a ghost, an angel or a guardian spirit.
As for their actual capabilities as weapons? They are equivalent to a modern magnum in terms of fire power with the same rate of fire and range as a modern handgun. Now they are not automatic and as such she must pull the trigger each time to fire except in the case of the weapons attached to her feet which she fires via a mental command provided they remain attached. Beyond that they leave no shell casings or gunpowder residue behind provided it's not alternative ammunition she's using at the moment.
- Physicality: While her physical strength, endurance and running speed are only above average for a normal human her reflexes, eyesight and mental capabilities are far beyond anything a human could achieve. With a super human ability to calculate distances, mathematical equations and angles Olivia can EASILY pull off "impossible shots." Her reflexes are also super human allowing her to easily dodge people aiming at her provided they aren't inches away. Her eyesight is also equally amazing as she can see up to distances of ten miles perfectly while also having perfect night vision. Nest she has the ability to walk on walls and ceilings. Finally she can easily jump from rooftop to rooftop of a average two story house provided it's a width of two standard four seat cars between them.
- Burst mode:
Burst mode is, as the name would explain, an ability that allows Olivia to go beyond her normal limits for a burst of additional power. Both herself and her weapons are empowered allowing for an increased combat performance. Starting with her self her endurance is increased to peak physical condition for a human while her speed becomes equal to that of a gazelle. Lastly she gains wings in this form but can not fly with them. Instead she is able to glide and slow her descent or perform rapid changes of direction in mid air which combined with her ability to walk on walls is a useful thing indeed.
Next is her guns..and oh boy does that get interesting. All but one of her weapons stay the same except the one in her right hand which morphs into a high powered cannon. It carries over all the abilities it had as its' default form yet gains an increase in firepower able to blast holes clean through meter wide slabs of concrete and tank armour. Sadly the increased firepower comes at a cost with the rate of fire dropping massively. Due to it now being an energy based weapon it takes at least a full post, as in starts charging one post fires the next, but can only be fired once due to the amount of energy required.
Ultimately the Blast Mode is a limited form meant to provide an additional rush of energy to defeat a difficult foe or get out of a sticky situation. Sadly this means it does have certain limits imposed on it. The first of these limits is a five post duration which sounds like a lot, and indeed is, but it is balanced by the fact she can only use Blast Mode once per thread. If that isn't enough the moment Olivia exits Blast Mode she is utterly exhausted her stamina totally drained preventing her from ding anything more energy demanding except walking, talking or other "normal" activity. She may still be able to fire her weapons but the exhaustion causes her marksmanship to take a gigantic nose dive meaning she'd probably end up missing.
Equipment:
Phone, keys, purse. The standard stuff.
