[Other FULL] Reapers: Keepers of the Balance (M) (OOC)

Name: Byrne Kennedy
Gender: Male
Physical Age: 21
Actual Age: 140
Appearance: Byrne has an athletic build, but this is almost unnoticeable because of two things; his height is rather unimpressive, being an unimposing five foot nine inches tall. If you couple that with his slumpy posture, his gymnast's figure is usually completely passed over. He has a bad case of babyface, with wide brown eyes and plump cheeks. If it weren't for a glaze of stubble over his chin, cheeks, and neck, his face could easily be mistaken for that of a small child's. His hair is short, and of an indistinct mousy brown colour. While on Earth, he wears something comfortable – usually a t-shirt made of a light fabric and a pair of jeans. If it's colder, he'll wear a hoody or a coat, but he doesn't really care on earth. Meanwhile, in limbo, he somewhat craves a life he couldn't have as a mortal on earth, often wearing fairly formal clothes reminiscent of the Victorian era.

Personality: Byrne is laid-back, and carefree. The flipside of that, though, is his laziness, which seems to ooze out of every orifice. He resents having to work, and will avoid putting in a lot of effort into anything much at all costs. Along with effort and work, he generally steers clear from being frustrated, upset, or angry, and will drop anything at almost the slightest bit of resistance. That's when he can help it, anyway. He's not particularly strong-willed, and can be quite easily pressured or bullied. Apart from anything else, he's an amiable guy with a mischievous streak that likes to keep his cards close to his chest and avoids bad things.

Weapon(s): Byrne carries a walking stick – he doesn't need it, but it's a good excuse to carry around a stick . If just hitting his target doesn't work, he'll light the end of it and use fire.

Past Life: Byrne was born to an Irish mother as part of a travelling circus troupe in England in the late nineteenth century. This, naturally, was pretty much his world, and he was absorbed into it immediately from birth, beginning to pull his weight aged five. Here he learned basic gymnastics, but it was his stints as a fortune teller he particularly enjoyed, using fire to read information about guests and their futures.
Despite his apparently cheeky and shirky attitude, this was a tough environment to grow up in, and Byrne was beaten throughout his entire mortal life, which hasn't left any permanent physical damage, but one imagines that his cowardliness and submissiveness stems back from being the resident punching bag.
Needless to say, this was the only life he'd ever known, and, for Byrne, this was the norm. Also needless to mention is his surprise when the reapers came to make him one of their own because of his innate potential as a scry or soothsayer.

Special Gifts/Talents: Having come from a circus background, Byrne has learned to do quite a few fancy flips and tricks, which are now even fancier with inate reaper abilities added on. More importantly, though, is his way with fire – he finds lighting fires with reaper magic incredibly easy and has had the ability to divine information from fire since he was even born. This information usually takes the form of seeing the future (a little), but can also be used to interpret peoples' intentions and desires. This, though, doesn't work on reapers. Since becoming a reaper, Byrne has also found that he can use his fires to locate important or lost souls.

Any Other Info: Fire aside, Byrne is not very adept at magic at all, and finds it exhausts him very quickly. Because of his laziness, weak will and magical ineptitude, he has something of a reputation for being a bit of a joke.​

Here's my alpha SU. Sorry about the wait.

Name: Tasahiro Mishumi
Gender: Male
Physical Age: 19
Actual Age: 2256

Appearance: Tasahiro stands at about 5'11, he weighs about 160 pounds. His skin is tanned, much like everyone from Japan. His jet black hair hangs down to his shoulders, and it blocks his left eye as well. He looks like a gothic person. He wears a black tee shirt with a black trench coat over it and black jeans, as well as black sneakers. His face is sharpely pointed, with a scar running down his chin. Tasahiro's muscles are large, but are not huge. His eyes are astonishingly white.

Personality: Tasahiro is the exact definition of the word warrior. His loyalty is undying, his heart is full of courage, his head filled with wisdom, and his sword driven by purpose. He never says anything if it doesn't have a purpose. He believes that everything has a reason. Destiny is always present. This has led him to believe that he was destined to be a reaper. He does not deny any mission: It is destiny. He doesn't hate anything, but he doesn't love anything either. He is a man of neutral intent. He is the Switzerland of the reaper world. He is very polite. He grew up believing that if one is always good to another, good things will come out of it. He is very awkward when it comes to social interaction. He prefers to be alone.

Weapon(s): He uses an anciet Japanese katana in one hand and a second, smaller Wakizashi in the other....and mayonnaise, but that's a different story.

Past Life: Tasahiro was one of Japan's finest warriors. Was. His skill was countered by very few men. He was in the emperor's personal guard. He grew up alone with no one to care for him, so he was always a loner. Even when the guard was sent on a mission. He fought the enemy with sword and word. He was visited by a reaper in the year 224 BC. Mishumi's talent for killing was legendary, and the rea[ers agreed. He was taken to the grim reapers, and he was trained and turned immortal. Now he is one of the more active reapers.

Special Gifts/Talents: Tasahiro is a master swordsman, as well as a gifted climber. One of his finer talents is the brewing of excellent tea. His skill with a jar of mayonnaise is very deadly. He's killed a man with it. His most useful talent, however, is his ability to manipulate people.
