[Teal Mage]

Well, I suppose I might as well post my character change. It was drastic enough that I changed everything I had before! So, new character, slightly different role, but a Miko is still a Mage.

...and yes, before any of you say it, I know Mikos aren't boys. He's more of an apprentice priest. But they have a longer name that I don't-ah just read the bio. You will notice my crude attempt at correct use of Japanese! Try not to kill yourself at how bad it is.

Name: Tachibana Shin
Side: Light
Race: Human
Age: 19
Appearance: A slim, effeminate and delicate looking young man, with long silver hair and violet eyes. Typically wears a wide sleeved white kimono top and pale blue hakama pants, with a leaf printed violet obi separating the two. A pair of bells are tied to his wrist with a thin white cord.

Weapon:
Suzu Mayoke, A pair of golden bells, tied to a plain white thread. Blessed by protective charms, the Mayoke will ring if malicious intent is aimed at their carrier. Demons that touch them will be burned. Can be used to generate a spherical barrier around their user.

Ofuda, Paper talismans inscribed with the name of his guardian Kami. He carries three kinds, to seal power, to perform exorcisms and to generate one sided barriers. If too much stress is placed on these talismans, or the target is too powerful, they will burst into flames and fail. Shin can use them as projectiles and combine them with his spells.

Special Skills:

Spirit Armor, A ghostly force that wields a sword of spirit in Shin's defense. Possesses the ability to block or parry attacks, in addition to launching its own using a transparent spirit blade. Injuries dealt with it are purely spiritual, but hurt all the same. Attacks that can't be blocked or parried will more likely be softened by the Kami's aura; a field of repellent force around Shin. If overused, the aura will become virtually non-existent and weaken Shin's own attacks. Especially effective at stopping curses and the like.

Heaven's Wrath, Shin's spiritual power, drawn from the Kami. The power appears as bright pink, yellow and white energy, which Shin shapes into a variety of attacks. Common motifs include fragments of glass, lighting, weapons and waves of light. He can elect to have the spells damage selectively, indiscriminately, or just act as force; demons don't take any more damage than a human would.

History: A traveling Exorcist, his position in the official temple hierarchy is roughly between apprentice and normal priest, though his spiritual powers are uncommonly strong for his age. A few years prior to the present, Shin went on a pilgrimage with the Shrine Keeper of his village and the handful of other apprentices, to a larger temple which housed a sacred mirror containing a powerful Kami.

Along the way, the group was beset by bandits, lead by a pair of powerful demons. They were overpowered and many of them were slain. Soon, only Shin and a pair of apprentice Mikos remained. Then, when all seemed hopeless, a bright light erupted in their midst.

Shin was knocked unconscious after that. When he came to, he and the young girls found themselves with silver hair and violet eyes - and in the possession of ghostly guardians and great spiritual power. Oh, and they were surrounded by dead bodies, but that wasn't important.

Feeling he had a duty to use his powers to their fullest, Shin left the temples after that, leaving much of his training unfinished. He's had moderate success as a demon slayer and exorcist, but has to deal with some of the same stigma that Half-Demons do, because of his appearance. As a result, he rarely stays long in any one place. Recently, after dealing with a string of weaker demons claiming to be members of a movement seeking to resurrect the Demon King, Shin has been thinking that wandering from village to village might not be the best way to use his powers any more. Perhaps a quest would be more suitable?

Extra: The bells are from his dead mentor, his belongs were distributed among the survivors. Obviously, they didn't help him much.
