Goddammit, peer pressure. Alright, fine!

Name: Asakura Imara
Side: Light
Race: Half-Demon (Wolfgirl)
Age: 22
Appearance: A physically-fit woman with snow-white hair and similar fur growing on her thighs and legs, arms and parts of her chest and back. She has bright blue eyes, as well as pointed ears atop her head and a fluffy tail poking out from behind. She wears a simple karate gi and an armored sleeveless jacket.
Weapons: What weapon could a person need beyond their fists? ... Okay so her fists have claws, still counts.
Special Skill:
- Supernatural Martial Arts: Imara, having trained dutifully in martial arts, has developed supernatural dexterity and agility thanks to her transformation to a half-demon. She uses her clawed hands and feet inflict greater damage with her strikes, and further supplements this by manifesting her ki as physical force added to her strikes. Her fighting style focuses on flurries of strikes and dodging enemies' attacks.

- Yuki-onna traits: Imara has inherited some of the natural traits of the yuki-onna who transformed her, as well as other traits appropriate to her arctic wolf appearance. Aside from being able to use her ki to augment her speed, Imara's transformation also gave her increased muscle strength and dexterity, allowing her to run at speed beyond what any human and most demons could manage.
She's no longer bothered by cold, no matter how low the temperature might get, though snow and ice can serve as physical obstacles still. She is also vulnerable to fire, being more susceptible to heat and flames, and being more damaged by fire than other beings normally would. The same applies to iron, which burns with a touch and weapons made of iron damage her more than normal people. Finally, she has a preference for having her meat cooked rare.

History: Imara was a humble girl born in a city of scholars and academics, not the best fit for the energetic, rash girl. Always more interested in action than books, her parents didn't hide their disappointment well, nor did her friends. When she discovered alcohol, her irreverent behavior only got worse.

Imara was unwilling to compromise, and when she was old enough she left the city, craving excitement and adventure. And such a life was exactly as fun as it always seemed in stories, until reality struck. Imara, during a reckless adventure, freed a yuki-onna from her prison, and the demon expressed her gratitude by transforming Imara into a half-demon more suitable to her tastes.

The yuki-onna then left the transformed wolf woman, cruelly promising to return next time she had found true happiness, then bend Imara's will and take away her happiness.

Extra: Imara does enjoy fighting, action and getting drunk. She tends to be laid back and crude when speaking. You're often likely to find a bottle hanging on her waist or in her hand. Still, Imara is a good person at heart and wants to help people, and when push comes to shove she gets serious and focused.

Steel demands I switch teams to balance them. Everything'd be the same except I'd rewrite my backstory to accommodate. That okay, Raiden?

I'm pretty certain that'd require I do the same for Leer as well.

I am the demandor. I demand all the things. Already Zelenha is manipulating events from behind the scenes.

Always pickin' on me.

Which is to say it seems fairly simple? Humans need deals with the Kami to make with the fireballs. I figured Zel's foreign origin would stick her with weird looking magic that basically works to the same principles - ie. she has deals with various Kami across the world - heck, she probably owes most, maybe all, a service or two. It's that correct? How would you like to play it boss?

Nostalgia rang, and thus I decided to join... although with something quite a bit different than usual. Somehow still has to do with souls and spirits though. Huh.

Obviously changes will come if Raiden deems them necessary, but I just thought this up so changes shouldn't hurt too much.

Name: Yuurei no Seishi

Side: Dark

Race: Spirit

Age: Unknown, at least hundreds of years old

Appearance: A glowing, misty form with the general appearance of a humanoid of varying height. Some features seem to shift in every now and then, but are in constant flux and hard to discern.

Weapons: Depends on the situation, see first ability

Special Skill: Spirit Manipulation - With the vast energy needed to project a physical form from the plane of the dead, Yuurei can change its form to suit its needs. Whether this is a weapon or shield, or even a devastating expulsion of its gathered energies, this manipulation is something Yuurei is still mastering, only recently becoming more powerful due to the coming conflict.

Spectral - Not being of this world, Yuurei is more of a ghost or phantom than an actual physical being, able to phase through walls or become invisible to those who are not spiritually sensitive (when it wills it, obviously). In this sense, it cannot be truly killed, but its physical form can be undone for a time (length of time depending on how destructive or spiritually attuned the attack that did the deed was). This can last any time between a day to much, much longer (think decades, here). Dispelling physical form to dodge an attack can be a last ditch effort to remain conscious in the physical world, but will scatter its essence, which must be gathered over a small period to reform (this would effectively put him out of the rest of a fight).

History: In the battle between good an evil, many have died that wished they could live. Human, demon, niether good nor evil mattered when their spirit passed on, but some still clung to the belief that they could find life in this new existence. These lingering souls clung together in a last ditch effort to believe in their existence, wandering onward in a seemingly pointless struggle. But as the number of spirits slowly went up, passing through battlefields and massacres the world over, a new existence began to form. A hive mind of sorts, a conglomerate of spirits that sought to escape the fate of fading from the world. Wandering, gathering, growing... eventually the hive mind reached a point where it decided to form more of an individual to getter wander and see the world around it without confusion. An unknownable time later, the individual became more of its own being, a representative of the community that would gather roaming spirits and absorb them, thereby gaining more power and insight into the changing physical world.

With even more time, this being figured out how to project itself into the physical world. Only briefly at first, to the terror of those it appeared near. It eventually heard someone utter "Yuurei no Seishi", and came to accept it as a name for itself despite its rather easy to understand meaning. After hundreds of confusing years as a group, there was now a name, and with a name came more understanding. Seeking out those who could more clearly sense it, Yuurei began to learn the state of the world, and how light and dark were constantly at war with one another. With no concept of good or evil, Yuurei began to wonder if it should take a side... and came to the conclusion, after many years of thought, that niether side mattered at all. In death, all were equal among others in form and power. Reaching this conclusion, Yuurei decided that balance between the two was most important. Light kept those alive at peace, while dark unknowingly paid its tribute to the dead. Peace and calamity went hand-in-hand throughout time, and Yuurei would seek to keep that balance uninterrupted.

Reaching the present, Yuurei could feel light beginning to well up in the world, threatening to overthrow the dark for good. The dark responded in kind, gathering its forces to reform the Demon Lord born and slain long before Yuurei had itself gained sentience. This event, Yuurei realized, would be the cornerstone of future events and decide which side would be more powerful from here on in. Whether this was actually the case or not was something to be experienced, but Yuurei decided to join the forces of darkness in order to create a greater balance between the two sides in this upcoming fight. Whether it is to facilitate its own growth through a higher death toll in the world or to seek to undermine the darkness... only Yuurei truly knows.

To add a note here. Make all the characters female and we got ourselves a Touhou game. We got ourselves everything from humans, to yokai, to demons and even spirits. I think the only thing we're missing is fairies and an oni.

Correction, we have an ice sidhe. All we're missing is an Oni.
