Description

Name: Rika Ashrun

Species: Taikura

Age: 36

Gender: female

Height: 6ft

Weight: 170lbs

Profession: Field agent

WDSA status: Silver

PERSONALITY

Rika can be described as calm but intense - confident and straight to the point, she can inadvertently be an overwhelming personality. She seems to misunderstand or perhaps not care much for human etiquette and social cues, but her friendliness and desire to be part of a greater cause does soften what could be an otherwise off-putting demeanor.

She is composed, experienced, and practical, and very slow to temper. She enjoys her work as an agent immensely, and though not particularly bloodthirsty, loves the thrill of the hunt and does miss the satisfaction of a clean kill. Her persistence and patience makes her an efficient and relentless hunter.

ABILITIES

Shapeshifting - her natural form is that of a large semi-aquatic predator. Her claws, powerful bite and brute strength has won her many fights. She is adept in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, but is most certainly an ambush hunter and not a persistence one.

Semi-aquatic - Rika can hold her breath for up to fourty minutes, and is a strong swimmer in both forms.

Durability: Rika can tank some serious damage in both forms, more so than a normal human or animal could.

Tattoos - Rikas tattoos are blood-magic runes that have some inherent power, but the more advanced effects are only activated after making contact with blood. The strength and duration of the spell depends on the amount and type of blood used - it is an imperfect and non-exact form of magic. Her own blood and animal blood is the bottom tier of blood used to activate the runes, while human and power supernatural blood is the highest.

Neck - inherent abilities: enhancement of the senses; (scent, sight, hearing) so they are at the same heightened level as her natural animal form.

Neck - blood-activated: her sight is enhanced so she can see in situations she normally wouldn’t be able to; ex extremely murky water, thick fog, or any kind of magical darkness/obscuring magic. It also enables her to see heat signatures and blood trails.

Shoulder - blood activated: protection from physical harm, deflecting damage from blades, claws, teeth, bullets etcetera. Spell only lasts for a few hits, and typically only once against magical attacks, and sometimes not at all.

Lower leg - inherent: strength. She retains the strength and power of her natural form, ex; a punch has the same strength as a swipe of her paw.

WEAKNESSES

Shapeshifting: Rika cannot shift between forms more than twice a day without becoming exhausted. If she is badly injured or completely exhausted, she will revert to her Taikura form and be unable to shift back until healed or replenished.

Lack of endurance (natural form): Taikura are ambush hunters, and can only manage short bursts of speed on land. Although fast when striking, her heavy, muscular build is not made for endurance or long-distance running and she will give up on a terrestrial chase very quickly

Mortality: Catastrophic injury, damage to organs, blood loss etcetera will kill her. She does not have a prolonged life span or immortality of any kind.
