BACKGROUND:

Pre-Series/WaSuYu:

Born into one of the primary Taisha family’s and possessing a high aptitude for it, Gin was chosen at a young age to become one of those blessed and empowered by the Shinju, a divine tree comprised of a conglomerate of Land Gods whom erected a great barrier around the island of Shikoku to guard the remnants of humanity, to become a Hero, alongside Sonoko Nogi and Sumi Washio. 

The duty of a Hero was to protect humanity from an enemy known as the Vertex, a life form from beyond the Shinju’s wall who’s goal is to reach and destroy the Shinju, which would collapse the barrier and signal the end for humanity.

Till 6th grade, Gin lived relatively normally, despite her duty, the main exception being some occasional training to hone her combat skills for when the time of battle arrived. During one of her school days, the world around her, Sumi, and Sonoko froze, signaling the enemy had finally attacked, before finding themselves transported to an otherworldly scenery created by the Shinju to minimize damage to the real world during battles against the Vertex. Transforming and wielding twin large axes, Gin worked with her allies to successfully defeat the first Vertex to attack in almost 300 years.

Afterwards, the training for the three Heroes intensified, as did everyone’s bonds. The group gradually grew to be closer and better friends between their shared experiences, from normal and every day life, to their training and battles in the name of their Hero duties.

Shortly before Summer, the group’s class went on a field trip, partaking in various activities, such as completing obstacle courses in record time, making art, and cooking. Before the trip home, Sonoko, upset over her lack of cooking skills where’s Gin and Sumi both assisted in making the delicious food that became the classes’s lunch, asked for their help learning to cook, and the three made plans to teach her how come Sunday before heading back home. But, the happy event was not meant to be.

After returning home, a Vertex attack of unprecedented scale happened, with three of the monsters attacking at once, where’s before it had always been a mere 1. Only seeing two initially and being caught by surprise from the third, Sonoko and Sumi quickly received heavy injuries that left them unfit for fighting. Moving her friends to safety, Gin promised them she would return after battling the Vertex.

Battling against the combined might of her enemies, Gin bravely managed to physically drive back the three Vertex several kilometers and force them outside of the barrier, but not without a terrible price.

Later, Sumi and Sonoko, having recovered somewhat, hobbled up to their friend, relieved to reunite with her and calling out to her, but Gin didn’t reply. No matter how much her friends pleaded and cried, she couldn’t reply. The girl stood still.

(YuYuYu AU:)

(Exact details TBA, somewhat flexible on this and planning the specifics on case by case with any other RPers, given how Gin’s death had a HUGE impact on the direction things went afterwards, and the general idea is an AU where she survived her awesome fight against the three Vertex. That’d naturally have an absurd amount of butterflies going on with it in terms of what’d happen to the canon timeline, so as I mentioned, I’m more than flexible in what I wanna do with it. That said, I do have two “default” set ups and verses to start from. Second one is under construction, but the first one’s about done)

The Lone Hero:

During the battle against Sagittarius, Scorpio, and Cancer, events played out differently. After carrying Sonoko and Sumi to safety, Gin leap off to stop the 3 Vertex from destroying the Shinju, and the world with it.  Between trying to manage fighting 3 Vertex, keep herself from dying long enough to deal with the enemy, and trying to push them back, Gin’s attention was divided, and the battle ended up drifting dangerously close to the unconscious Heroes. The trio of Vertex took notice of the potential to score easy kills against their helpless enemies, and shifted their attacks from Gin, toward her companions. Realizing the gravity of her carelessness, Gin attempted her best to defend her friends. But, the girl lacked tools for anything but pure offense, she didn’t possess a shield like Sonoko.

With the Vertex distracted trying to kill her friends, Gin was able to inflict heavy damage on the Vertex while trying to keep them away, her ability to knock them around being her greatest method of preventing their attacks. However, despite her best efforts, Sagittarius unleashed a hailstorm of glowing arrows onto the two helpless Heroes, riddling them with spears. 

Enraged beyond reason, Gin successfully pushed the Vertex back, inflicting heavy injury on them due to their divided attention of trying to kill her friends, while avoiding any fatal wounds. Heavily injured, but still alive, Gin stumbled over toward her friends, hoping by some miracle they might still be alive, but it was far too late for either of them. Sonoko and Sumi had been killed instantly by the volley, their bodies filled with holes.

Her friends dead, heavily wounded, and blaming herself for the tragedy, it was too much for even Gin’s positive attitude to bear. The girl collapsed to her knees, apologizing between sobs.

In the aftermath of the incident, Gin took it severely hard, feeling responsible for their deaths and that she should’ve been the one to die instead. Though externally, the girl tried to keep projecting the same demeanor she always had, her behavior was never quite the same and Gin was internally torn apart.

After the funeral for her friends the ensuring attack, discussions were held about potential replacements for her teammates, given her status as being the only surviving Hero. Gin firmly rejected the proposal, not wanting to put anyone else through this dangerous fate and stating she could be strong enough to manage the issue.

While true to the intent to keep her word and dedicating herself more seriously to training, even at the expense of starting to drift away from her social life, the Taisha didn’t seem entirely convinced of leaving everything on her shoulders alone.

Thankfully, the girl would get a chance to prove her ability, when an oracle came in of a massive scale attack coming, alongside an upgrade to her Hero system. Without even any candidates found in time to prepare, Gin was alone to battle the onslaught, just as she wanted.

Her strength, tremendously boosted by the enhanced system, Gin easily dealt with most of the initial Vertex without needing to evoke Mankai more than once, losing her right arm as a sacrifice.

With Leo’s soul retreating, Gin pursued it beyond the barrier with the intent to kill it like its companions and discovered the truth of the world, that the Earth beyond the Shinju’s barrier had turned entirely into an uninhabitable hellscape. 

Overwhelmed by the stunning revelation, along with seeing many more Vertex coming and Stardusts coming for her, Gin fellback into the barrier for safety. But, before Gin could collect her thoughts and calm her reeling mind, the Vertex returned, in significantly greater numbers, if only partially complete. 

Knowing she had to defeat the Vertex before anything else could be done, Gin steeled herself and charge into the hoard. Over the course of the battle, Gin had to Mankai several more times, losing parts of herself that included her right eye, hearing in one ear, sense of touch, and more(Exact number of Sanges and which ones are a bit flexible for a thread by thread basis. But it’s generally around 5-6.)

(incomplete, to be completed likely in a day or two as of 1/8/2018)

POWERS AND ABILITIES

Physical Stats:

Super Strength:

Of the three Heroes within her group, Gin is by far the strongest and most suited for physical combat of the group. Her strength is enough that, before the upgrade to the Mankai system and receiving a huge boost in power at the base level, Gin’s physical strength was great enough to easily knock back the 30 meter in size Vertex with a throw of her axe, even after first deflecting her weapon off an enemy’s attack. 

Furthermore, her offensive power should be leagues above Christian Era Heroes, including Takashima Yuna using her first trump card, who was said to be able to strike with the force of a tornado, yet was unable to even scratch an incomplete Scorpio far weaker than the one Gin easily sliced through.

Even lower level Vertex are said to be immune to any manmade weaponry, including nuclear arms, though if this is simply a property of being that durable or due to other properties(Such as the fact Heroes and Vertex are both empowered by the Divine and thus may be effective against one another), is unknown.

Super Speed:

In contrast to her immense strength, Gin is the slowest of her Hero group, but even despite this, her speed is still far beyond human levels, as all Heroes are easily capable of reacting to and intercepting projectiles which cross hundreds of meters to even kilometers instantly. She is also more than capable of easily creating tornadoes by spinning in place.

Super Durability:

Matching her great strength, Gin’s body is incredibly durable while transformed. A blow which heavily injured and left both Sonoko and Sumi unable to even stand, while still injuring her, left Gin is capable enough condition to continue battling normally and even go on to defeat 3 Vertex. Gin should be able to take attacks comparable to what she dishes out.

Super Agility:

Heroes, such as Gin, are easily capable of leaping several dozen meters in single jumps.

Super Stamina/Endurance: 

The first Heroes, of which were drastically weaker than the system Gin uses, were capable of fighting for several hours, provided they were afforded a short rest. 

Gin herself was also capable of pushing back 3 Vertex upwards of 13 kilometers(The Length of the Great Seto Bridge) in a long fight, during which she sustained heavy injuries and still fought for an extended amount of time, including impalement in multiple places and even losing an arm. However, while she was still capable of fighting and winning an extended battle, doing so for such a prolonged period did ultimately prove fatal.

Limited Extrasensory Perception:

Both untransformed and transformed, a Hero possesses a touch of sense beyond just the main ones most are familiar with. While transformed, Karin Miyoshi was able to sense and accurately attack a Vertex soul, despite a thick purple fog completely and utterly obscuring ones conventional sight. While in their base stats, these supernatural senses are drastically diminished, with Sonoko and Sumi displaying the ability to “feel’ right when a Vertex attacked and time stopped, just a moment before they arrived.

Rapid Healing:

One of the few abilities that Gin arguably possesses outside her transformed state. Compared to a normal person, a Hero’s body can recover from injuries at a much more rapid rate and even safely heal from heavier injuries which could incapacitate a normal human for a while, such as when Gin broke her hip and it wasn’t treated as anything terribly major. However, this power is not regeneration and while useful for returning to peak condition after battle, it does not heal quick enough to be considered of any use during combat, save in the most prolonged engagements and still requires some small rest. 

Enhanced Physiology:

Heroes have their body, even when untransformed, enhanced to a degree by the Shinju. These enhancements are minor in comparison to their transformed powers, hardly enough to even be called superhuman, but it can be assumed they include abilities such as a resistance to ailments, improvement to stamina, and possibly other stats. As an example, Anzu Iyojima was a very slickly individual with a weak body who had to repeat a grade due to missing too many days from her sickness, yet after becoming a Hero, she rarely got sick and her stamina was noticeably improved.

Limited Fire Manipulation:

Gin is capable of briefly igniting her axes with fire, dramatically boosting her striking power and infusing the flames into her physical blows with the weapon.

Cold Resistance:

The first Heroes, which used a Hero System far weaker than Gin’s, were unfazed by temperatures which dropped low enough to instantly freeze lower level Vertex.

Axe Weapon Proficiency:

As part of her training as a Hero, Gin is highly proficient in the usage of her twin giant axes. While not a master in terms of pure skill, Gin’s combat prowess is non the less extremely high, especially for her age.

Mankai:(YuYuYu AU only)

Receiving an immense of power from the Shinju, a Hero can enter a state known as Mankai, dramatically increasing all of their stats to the degree of being able to one-shot Vertex which would’ve been a difficult foe normally and able to fly from ground to orbit in mere seconds. Sumi’s Mankai was described as possessing the firepower to easily and completely flatten a mountain in a single shot while transformed, where’s later Heroes using Mankai could crack large island sized Vertex souls with their strikes.

A Hero also receives a new tool to use during their second transformation, manifesting as gigantic versions of her axes held by large, mechanical like hands in Gin’s case.

However, Mankai also carries an immense price. After the transformation runs out, part of the Hero is taken as a sacrifice in exchange for the power, permanently crippling them in someway. This can range from a variety of ailments, such as blindness, losing functions in limbs, heart stopping, or even portions of their memories. To compensate for this, a Hero receives a fairy with each usage of Mankai, which further boosts their power, provides a new ability, and can compensate for disabilities while transformed(Such as when Togo’s outfit grew tentacles which enabled her to move around, when she lost the usage of her legs), but provide no such aid while in their normal state.

Immortality: (YuYuYu AU only)

As part of the Mankai system, Heroes are rendered immortal and unable to die via almost any means. The fairies which accompany their masters will keep the user alive, regardless of if they want it or not. Various methods were attempted to kill a Hero, ranging from hanging, poison, drowning, stabbing, blunt force trauma, and much more. As long as the Shinju’s power exists, the Hero will be unable to die.

Barriers: (YuYuYu AU only)

As part of the powers of a fairy, they are capable of producing barriers when Heroes are attacked, protecting them from any and all forms of injury. However, while they are unable to be injured, a Hero is still capable of feeling the pain that would’ve been inflicted by an attack and being knocked out.

Flight: (YuYuYu AU only)

While using Mankai, Gin is capable of unaided flight.

Favorite colors: Red and White

Nicknames: Wasshi(By Sonoko Nogi)

Future Goals: To become a historian

Notable Items carried on person: Her Hero terminal, used to transform.

Misc Info: Will virtually always try to suggest something eastern as an alternative to any time a western item is brought up. Bit of a weakness for cute things in certain conditions.

Major Personality Traits: Strict, formal, difficulty relaxing around all but her closest friends. When around her close friends, can sometimes get excitable over certain matters, much more than her usual demeanor would suggest, and eases up quite noticeably.

BACKGROUND:

Born as Mimori Togo, Sumi was adopted into the Washio household at a young age, due to her high potential as a Hero, taking on the name Sumi Washio. Alongside Sonoko Nogi and Gin Minowa, Sumi trained for the eventual task of battling as Heroes of the Shinju. The duty of a Hero was to protect humanity from an enemy known as the Vertex, a life form from beyond the Shinju’s wall who’s goal is to reach and destroy the Shinju, which would collapse the barrier maintaining Shikoku and signal the end for humanity.

Till 6th grade, Sumi lived relatively normally, despite her duty, the main exception being some occasional training to hone her combat skills for when the time of battle arrived. During one of her school days, the world around her, Gin, and Sonoko froze, signaling the enemy had finally attacked, before finding themselves transported to an otherworldly scenery created by the Shinju to minimize damage to the real world during battles against the Vertex. Transforming and wielding a bow and arrow, Sumi worked with her allies to successfully defeat the first Vertex to attack in almost 300 years.

Afterwards, the training for the three Heroes intensified, as did everyone’s bonds, a precious thing for Sumi, who lacked any real close friends due to her strict behavior driving some away. The group gradually grew to be closer and better friends between their shared experiences, from normal and every day life, to their training and battles in the name of their Hero duties.

Shortly before Summer, the group’s class went on a field trip, partaking in various activities, such as completing obstacle courses in record time, making art, and cooking. Before the trip home, Sonoko, upset over her lack of cooking skills where’s Gin and Sumi both assisted in making the delicious food that became the classes’s lunch, asked for their help learning to cook, and the three made plans to teach her how come Sunday before heading back home. But, the happy event was not meant to be.

After returning home, a Vertex attack of unprecedented scale happened, with three of the monsters attacking at once, where’s before it had always been a mere 1. Only seeing two initially and being caught by surprise from the third, Sonoko and Sumi quickly received heavy injuries that left them unfit for fighting. Too injured to move, Sumi helplessly watched Gin carry her and Sonoko to safety, before promising to return and leaving to fight the 3 Vertex. The bow using Hero passed out from her injuries seconds later.

Later, Sumi and Sonoko, having recovered somewhat, hobbled made their way toward where Gin had gone, shambling about from their injuries. The two saw Gin facing toward the edge of the barrier and raced up to her, relieved to reunite with their friend and calling out to her, but Gin didn’t reply. No matter how much her friends pleaded and cried, she couldn’t reply. The girl stood still.

Still recovering from the despair and hole in her heart left from Gin’s death, Sonoko and Sumi attended her funeral days later, paying their final respects to the third member of their group. Tragically, the Vertex attacked in the middle of the ceremony, sending Sumi into a furious rage. Together with Sonoko, she successfully fought off the invader, spurred onward by Gin’s heroic sacrifice.

Afterwards, Sumi and Sonoko slowly tried to move on and continue their duties, but Gin’s death left a heavy wound which wouldn’t heal and the two always kept their friend in their thoughts and hearts while continuing life and their training, such as Sonoko telling their teacher it was the three of them who worked hard as Heroes, not just the her and Sumi, when their instructor praised them for continuing their duty, or picking out a set of 3 matching keychains with their Hero form color themes in memory of Gin.

Eventually, the two Heroes were instructed to hand over their terminals for an upgrade to their system that would provide more power. After doing so, the two were summoned for the upgrade and each greeted with a small fairy companion upon grabbing their phones. Sumi received Aobozu, taking the shape of an egg with a dark middle section and eyes, while Sonoko received a crow Tengu that she nicknamed Sebastian.

After receiving their fairy companions, Sumi and Sonoko continued life as normal, even attending a festival for Halloween. Shortly after leaving, Sonoko and Sumi had a brief talk, where the blonde gave Sumi her ribbon as a keepsake to wear, a symbol of their close bond. However, shortly after this, the Vertex attacked once. The Heroes prepared for battle, ready to unleash their new powers.

Transforming, the two noticed their new outfits and weapons, Sumi briefly naming her’s after their departed friend. Down to only two, Sumi stayed behind to provide ranged support, while Sonoko charged ahead to act as the vanguard. During the battle, the two discovered that their fairies protected them from damage with a barrier, from poisonous gas and explosions, to blunt impacts. With each defended against attack, their Mankai gauge filled up. Once both filled there’s to max, the two transformed into their next level of power.

Empowered by the Shinju’s might, the two’s power soared tremendously past any and all limits they once had, enabling them to defeat the Vertex with ease. However, the system was not perfected, and both had their transformations undone automatically shortly into the fight, before all the Vertex could be destroyed. Shaking the dizzyness that has overcome her, Sumi discovered, to her shock and terror, that her legs were paralyzed. Before she could panic for long, her outfit mysterious grew a set of appendages for her that acted as impromptu legs, letting Sumi continue to move and fight. 

Catching up with Sonoko, Sumi learned that her companion had lost all vision in her right eye. Yet, before the two would dwell on it for long, the Vertex resumed their attack, forcing the pair to renew their fight.

Once again, the two had their Mankai gauge filled. After her second Mankai Sumi passed out upon detransforming.

A short time later, Sumi came to, starring at her surrounding with horror and confusion. The landscape she had been battling on moments ago, looking like an alien world she had no idea of. As if an answer to her question, Sonoko returned, informing her of great trouble to come. However, Sumi merely asked what was going on and where Gin had gone. As a price for the extreme power granted by Mankai, a Hero offered part of themselves in exchange. Sumi had lost her memories and legs in exchange for the strength to combat the Vertex.

Devastated by her friend forgetting about her, Sonoko wailed her friends name, but was interrupted by the arrival of over a dozen Vertex from behind the wall. An attack of impossible scale.

Confused, Sumi watched as Sonoko tied her blue ribbon around her arm, explaining how her, Gin, and Sumi were all friends forever, no matter what happened. Promising to return, Sonoko charged off to battle the Vertex, activating Mankai. Seeing the brilliant image of a colossal crow made of energy, Sumi’s consciousness faded into darkness.

Far after the battle, Sumi awoke in the hospital, completely unaware of how she arrived. Trying to move, the girl discovered her legs were paralyzed. Searching for an answer, Sumi tried to dig through her memory, over to find that the last few years of her life had all vanished. The identity of Sumi Washio had ceased to be, instead replaced by that of her original name, Mimori Togo.

POWERS AND ABILITIES

Physical Stats:

Super Strength:

Despite being the ranged fighter of her group, Sumi is not without enhanced strength. Her offensive power should be leagues above Christian Era Heroes, including Takashima Yuna using her first trump card, who was said to be able to strike with the force of a tornado, yet was unable to even scratch an incomplete Scorpio far weaker than the one her group faced. Where’s Sumi is quite capable of physically stabbing her arrow through Vertex skin with her bare hands.

Even lower level Vertex are said to be immune to any manmade weaponry, including nuclear arms, though if this is simply a property of being that durable or due to other properties(Such as the fact Heroes and Vertex are both empowered by the Divine and thus may be effective against one another), is unknown.

Super Speed:

While in the middle between Gin(The slowest) and Sonoko(The fastes) of her group, Sumi’s speed is still far beyond human levels, as all Heroes are easily capable of reacting to and intercepting projectiles which cross hundreds of meters to even kilometers instantly.

Super Durability:

As with all Heroes, Sumi possesses greatly enhanced durability. Sumi should be able to take attacks comparable to what she dishes out.

Super Agility:

Heroes, such as Sumi, are easily capable of leaping several dozen meters in single jumps.

Super Stamina/Endurance:

The first Heroes, of which were drastically weaker than the system Sumi uses, were capable of fighting for several hours, provided they were afforded a very short short rest midway.

Rapid Healing:

One of the few abilities that Sumi arguably possesses outside her transformed state. Compared to a normal person, a Hero’s body can recover from injuries at a much more rapid rate and even safely heal from heavier injuries which could incapacitate a normal human for a while, such as when Gin broke her hip and it wasn’t treated as anything terribly major. However, this power is not regeneration and while useful for returning to peak condition after battle, it does not heal quick enough to be considered of any significant use during general combat, save in the most prolonged engagements and still requires some small rest.

Enhanced Physiology:

Heroes have their body, even when untransformed, enhanced to a degree by the Shinju. These enhancements are minor in comparison to their transformed powers, hardly enough to even be called superhuman, but it can be assumed they include abilities such as a resistance to ailments, improvement to stamina, and possibly other stats. As an example, Anzu Iyojima was a very slickly individual with a weak body who had to repeat a grade due to missing too many days from her sickness, yet after becoming a Hero, she rarely got sick and her stamina was noticeably improved.

Cold Resistance:

The first Heroes, which used a Hero System far weaker than Sumi’s, were unfazed by temperatures which dropped low enough to instantly freeze lower level Vertex.

Bow and Gun proficiency,

Being her primary weapon, Sumi possess high proficiency in the usage of bows, having trained for a while as part of her duty as a Hero. Furthermore, Sumi is adept at the usage of firearms, having practiced with them and demonstrated the ability to win a carnival game in a single shot, that took Sonoko dozens without success, and which the person running the stand had rigged to supposedly be unwinnable.

Unlimited Ammunition:

Both her bow and guns possess the ability to generate their own arrows and ammo, letting Sumi fire without worry about running out. However, this does not mean Sumi is capable of shooting forever. Her bow needs to have the string draw and arrow charged with each shot, while her guns require a manner of reloading(Such as pulling back a mechanism on her sniper, akin to a bolt action rifle) after enough shots.

Hero Bow: (Pre-Mankai System Only)

Sumi’s original weapon. Capable of firing arrows in a variety of ways. Sumi is capable of shooting one or a small volley of arrows at one and spreading them out to cover a wider area. Sumi is also capable of “charging” her arrows with energy by holding the arrow ready for a several moments, sharply increasing their destructive power. Her arrows are capable of creating large explosions after impacting. Sumi can also physically stab the arrows her bow generates into targets with her hands, similarly causing explosions.

Shirogane: (Mankai System only)

The weapon Sumi wields after the Mankai system upgrade, named after her deceased friend Gin(Both names meaning Silver in Japanese). A powerful snipe rifle capable that fires highly explosive and powerful energy bullets, far surpassing any manmade sniper in potency and speed. 

Mankai: (Mankai System only)

Receiving an immense of power from the Shinju, a Hero can enter a state known as Mankai, dramatically increasing all of their stats to the degree of being able to one-shot Vertex which would’ve been a difficult foe normally and able to fly from ground to orbit in mere seconds. Sumi’s Mankai was described as possessing the firepower to easily and completely flatten a mountain in a single shot while transformed and she can fire an entire volley, where’s later Heroes using Mankai could crack large island sized Vertex souls with their strikes.

A Hero also receives a new tool to use during their second transformation, with Sumi’s manifesting as a large platform she stands upon, flanked by several powerful guns on each side. The firepower possessed by single blasts of this transformation was described as enough to flatten mountains.

However, Mankai also carries an immense price. After the transformation runs out, part of the Hero is taken as a sacrifice in exchange for the power, permanently crippling them in someway. This can range from a variety of ailments, such as blindness, losing functions in limbs, heart stopping, or even portions of their memories. To compensate for this, a Hero receives a fairy with each usage of Mankai, which further boosts their power, provides a new ability, and can compensate for disabilities while transformed(Such as when Togo’s outfit grew tentacles which enabled her to move around, when she lost the usage of her legs), but provide no such aid while in their normal state.

Immortality: (Mankai System only)

As part of the Mankai system, Heroes are rendered immortal and unable to die via almost any means. The fairies which accompany their masters will keep the user alive, regardless of if they want it or not. Various methods were attempted to kill a Hero, ranging from hanging, poison, drowning, stabbing, blunt force trauma, and much more. As long as the Shinju’s power exists, the Hero will be unable to die.

Barriers: (Mankai System Only)

As part of the powers of a fairy, they are capable of producing barriers when Heroes are attacked, protecting them from any and all forms of injury. However, while they are unable to be injured, a Hero is still capable of feeling the pain that would’ve been inflicted by an attack and being knocked out.

Flight: (Mankai System only)

While using Mankai, Sumi is capable of unaided flight.
