Height: 5 feet 7 inches

Eyes: Grey/Blue
General Appearance:
It's clear when one looks at Aryanna that she is from a upbringing fit for royalty and discipline. Before her physical appearance can be explained it is always noted that her body language is what stands out the most. Satsuki stands tall and no matter whom she looks at it always seems that she is looking down on them even when she must look up to see anyone. Her posture never falters and it is one that commands respect. Her back is straight with her chin always slightly up and out, not so much too seem like she is challenging anyone but enough to show that she is in complete control. When she walks she takes long strides that are well grounded and precise. It's because of her outstanding form that her true beauty shines.
Aryanna's facial appearance is in her honest opinion the second thing others see when they look at her. She has creamy vanilla colored skin that show no visible scars or blemishes. Her skin is also soft to the touch and lets off a light clean scent at all times.
Her face is oval shaped and on her face she holds one pair of navy blue eyes, over her eyes are thick eyebrows which are " fabulous ". Aryanna's eyes hold a rather uninterested and stern gaze when looking at a person, this contradicts what she actually feels it's just the way her face has grown over the years. Just below her eyes is a small, sharp, and slightly upturned nose. Her lips are rose pink in color and soft to the touch with her top lip being thinner than her thicker bottom lip. She wears no make up on her face and has a natural glow to her.
Her racial background has blessed Aryanna with bone straight, obsidian black hair which shines beautifully no matter what the light ( or lack of ). She rarely if ever styles her hair and lets it fall down neatly, stopping just below her rather round butt. On both sides of her head two white hair clips divide most of her hair from pushing it's way to the front and being an overall nuisance. Neatly cut bangs come down in an angle to the front of her face while longer strands fall over her breast. Satsuki dislikes cutting her hair but does so to maintain her neatly trimmed ends.
Strikingly handsome Aryanna seems to fill the role of the " cool girl " in terms of looks. Capturing the attention ( and most of the times hearts ) of females, while intimidating ( and charming ) males. Standing at a height of five feet and nine inches and weighing in at one hundred and thirty seven pounds, Satsuki's frame is rather average with nothing being too small nor too large. Underneath her clothing one can clearly tell that she keeps herself fit. Her body is toned though not overly muscular yet with obvious signs that she has a rather rigorous training regime. Her arms and legs are slender with her legs being just a bit thicker around the thigh area. Her waist nips in and her hips flare out giving her a hourglass figure, though on a more petite scale. Her hands are small and her fingers are long though delicate while her nails are always neatly done in a perfect manicure. Her feet are the same though her toes are not as long as her fingers and rather short.
Extra: N/A
III. PERSONALITY
Personality:
Aryanna walks through life without too much care. She is fully aware of everything she does and most of her actions are done without reason. She herself really can't give much reason for half the things she does. She is just floating through life without much motivation. This causes her not to really care about the things happening around her which in turn causes her not to pay attention to the things around her. Because of this tends to be caught off guard frequently.
Aryanna is a very expressive and sassy individual. When she speaks her words are coated with confidence on such a high level it can be easily be seen as conceited. She will never let anyone talk down on her and is always quick with a sarcastic comeback or snarky retort. She is perfectly content with being alone or with close friends and doesn't really care to be the center of attention. Her overall out look on life itself is rather grimm. Knowing what kind of life she leads, she doesn't show much mercy or pity and is rather vindictive against her enemies and those who have wronged her. That being said she is one to hold grudges.
Aryanna is not the smartest or wisest person one will ever meet, but she knows how to get by in life. Her intelligence is based on her life experiences and she uses what she knows to her advantage. Aryanna has a curious memory and will remember things she herself never known she knew. It could be something she read once years ago that resurfaces at just the right moment when she needs it. Needless to say Aryanna has never once forgotten the word for something or couldn't remember what she was going to say.
As stated before Aryanna would rather be alone than with a group of people. This in no way means that she can't be with others and in fact she is more social than she lets on. One might find it surprising by the change when she comes into a situation where being social is needed. Being very " down to earth " she tends to connect with alot of her peers. Drinking and partying and just having a good time is what she enjoys because when things get rough it's in her opinion the best thing for a bad day.
Aryanna has her own ideas of right and wrong and has no problem with standing up for her beliefs. She will never judge anyone for their past transgressions nor will she side with anyone on any matter unless she feels it would benefit her or if she has a sudden change of heart on the matter. Aryanna's sexual preference is pretty open. Though she prefers men there are some woman that she'll go for, mostly those who are of the shy type. Aryanna gets flustered to the point of deep blushing and nosebleeds around her love interest and can turn surprisingly almost unnaturally Violent towards anyone trying to get near him/her. It's almost like someone else is taking over at that point and it gets so bad she won't remember anything after the attack.
Aryanna lives for a good ole fashion Brawl. Forget magic and weapons she enjoys her fist connecting to others violently. The Rush she gets from punching, kicking, and grappling gives her such a euphoric feeling. Even if she's losing the fact that she is able to keep up pushes her to keep fighting.
Growing up with a very religious mother, Aryanna believes strongly in her goddess. She won't preach the gospel to the world but she will damn well prey every time the moment calls. Before a fight? You know it. After a fight, win or lose? You better damn well believe it. Before any sleep, when waking up? Before and after meals? No doubt. If anyone even thinks of talking down to her about her daily prayers or her worship she won't hesitate to tell them off about themselves and then educate them about the importance of religious tolerance. Aryanna's belief in her goddess will never waver as she is the cause and source of her magic.
In quick summary Aryanna does what she wants when she wants and needs no reason to do it. This makes her unpredictable to a fault and even worse so when she is under the influence of drugs and alcohol. This doesn't make her unapproachable and she is pretty social when the times calls for it. She is very devoted to her goddess and won't tolerate being berated for it.

- Spicy Foods
- Drinking
- Honing her skills
- Strange Acts of Violence
Dislikes:
- Rules

Motivations:
- Those around her without knowing it motivates Aryanna to be better than she is. She wants to be stronger, faster, and whatever someone else can do she wants to do it twenty times over and perfect it.
- Her family. As much as she hates to say it her family is her prime motivator. Especially her " chosen one " Cousin. He took things from her that he wouldn't even know. And that burns a fire brighter than the sun.
- Her goddess, mainly she wants to be noticed enough as to be the to be accepted as the " chosen one ". She constantly moves forward in life to be great enough to be noticed by her goddess.
Fears:
- Being restrained weather it be behind bars or a hug that's too long the hopeless feeling of not being able to get away is a most dreaded feeling. Even in relationships if she can't do what she wants when she wants it's not gonna work.
- Clowns; The thing that is suppose to make people happy brings absolute dread to Aryanna. She can't understand why but being around clowns gives her this awful feeling and she can't get away from them fast enough...That or just try to outright kill the problem.
- To lose her magic: Losing her magic means being cast aside by the goddess who bestowed it upon her and probably means being cut off from the family. This is something that turns her blood cold just thinking of it.
Positive Traits:
- Daunting Presence (+2): You are skilled at inducing fear in your opponents.
- Diehard (+2): You can remain conscious after attacks that would fell others.
- Fortitude (+3): You are tougher than normal. You can take more hits than the regular Joe.
Zealot [ Swords ] (+4): This person has trained themselves to wield a specific type of weapon. This weapon can be mentioned behind the Zealot feat within brackets to claim it upon approval.- Blindsight (+4): Using senses such as acute hearing and sensitivity to vibrations, you detect the location of opponents who are no more than five feet away from you. Darkness and Invisibility are irrelevant, though you cannot detect non corporeal beings.
Negative Traits:
- Curiosity (-1): You're a naturally curious person and you find mysteries of any sort irresistible. In most circumstances, alas, your curiosity overrides your common sense. This forces you to investigate something unusual, even if it looks like it might be dangerous.
Explanation: You will walk deeper into the forest you have never been before. You won't turn around from the castle that you have never seen. This can result into getting you into very dangerous situations. - Daredevil (-2): You only really feel alive when you're staring death in the face. Your character is addicted to the thrill of death-defying stunts, pushing themselves to the limit at every available opportunity.
Explanation: You can't refuse the opportunity of engaging into combat with anyone or anything that is stronger than you. You also always volunteer and perform tasks that have a risk attached to them when you are in a group. - Short Attention Span (-1): You have little patience, causing you to have difficulty concentrating on repetitive tasks.
- Overzealous (-1): You are incapable of having a weak opinion. Everything you believe, you believe as if your life depended on it. Everything you don't believe in, you hate with a passion.
Once in a while your flaw gets you to strongly defend one of your opinions, no matter how inappropriate the time and place, nor what the circumstances of such an outburst may be. - Proud (-1): You don't like accepting help from others. If a gift or offer of aid smacks of charity or pity even the slightest bit, you grow indignant and refuse it.
- Reckless (-1): You lack the emotion of fear. Unfortunately, it is often an important cue that keeps men from doing foolhardy things. Sure, you don't flinch at the sight of even the most hideous monster, but neither do you feel the need to run away when outclassed.
- Overconfident (-1): Nothing is beyond your capabilities. If you wanted, you could defeat the best swordsman in the world; you just haven't had any reason to do so yet. And surely that chasm isn't too wide for you to leap across.
- Hedonistic (-1): You love a good time. You party too much, drink too much, and eat too much. You have trouble resisting an invitation to join someone in a drink and sometimes shirk your duty if offered a more enjoyable time elsewhere. Whenever a good time is presented you let your guard down. You're also not capable to resist seduction of any sort. It's just not in your nature to resist such opportunities.
Explanation: You always give in when a good time is offered such as drinks, women and other things. Even in the midst of a dangerous raid through a castle you decide to stay in the room that has wine and beautiful girls in them even though they could be monsters. - Inattentive (-1): Your mind has a habit of drifting off at inopportune moments. It flits from one thought to the next so fast that you have trouble getting it to concentrate on the here and now. As such, you are particularly unaware of your surroundings.
Explanation: You must drift off at least one out of five posts. - Cruel (-1): You have a sadistic streak that causes you to perform acts of cruelty for no good reason. Of course, this doesn't endear you to others. Most times you are prudent enough to carry out your cruelties on those under your thumb, rather than those you see as equals. However, you carry a constant social stigma, as rumors have their way of getting around.
Explanation: You must perform an act of cruelty one out of five posts. - Compulsive Honesty (-2): You cannot tell a lie, nor can you behave in a deceitful fashion. You tend to be blunt rather than tactful, even if it means insulting someone who you and your companions are trying to impress.
Explanation: You can't lie and you will tell the truth when someone asks you something instead of lying. So if your team is impressing an ogre and the ogre asks if you guys are truly from the guild you guys claimed you were and lied about it, you will screw it up and say the truth. - Arrogant (-1): You firmly believe that you are better than anyone else is. Your ideas are the best, your clothes are the most stylish, and you have to let everyone else know how much better you are. Once in a while you openly show contempt or disdain for someone else.
Explanation: You must at least act arrogant one out of five posts. - Allergies [Cats] (-1): You are afflicted with allergies. These may be something as simple as hay fever, but the reactions to such will result in something like a huge bout of sneezing and gasping. You must mention this allergy in your character application.
Explanation: Whenever this allergy comes into play you must suffer the consequences. The allergy must be something that can actually come and not something strange and unique.
IV. MAGIC
Magic: Reishi Magic
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Reishi magic is once lost and ancient magic. Bestowed upon the Devine family for their ancestor's loyal ship and good soul by the Goddess of soul, Psykhe. This magic is a type of soul magic that allows the user complete and utter control over their soul. They are able to manipulate it to the way they see fit without damaging their soul thanks to Psykhe. Allowing to unlock hidden power that cannot other wise be reached. The user can manifest objects among other things from their soul along with manipulating the energy that ones soul can produce when tapped into which is how it is used defensively. The soul's energy appears as an aura and the color of the aura depends on the user, Aryanna's is a fluctuating color of purples and blue. The soul energy can be used to perform attacks such as blasts, rays, beams, along with the user being able to expel the energy. Another ability with this magic is that it allows the user to tap into their soul to reach it's peak by the user focusing and tapping even deeper into the power allowing for them to increase their senses to be better than normal humans. Most of the time when the magic is used the caster will have their aura glow in it's color around them. An ability that the more higher ranking Devine family members have is that they can sense the soul's of others. They also tend to be able to read souls, and see/feel the entity's characteristics, feelings, whether it even has a soul, or damage others' souls have endured. A sort of 6th sense develops after them using their Reishi magic for such a long period of time. This magic was once used in the wrong way long ago in a distant land. The previous users attempted to take other souls which is why the capability has been revoked when it was given to the Devine family.
Strengths: A major strength to this magic is that it is fairly versatile. They are a lot of spells you could do with this magic as it could be used in a variety of situations. Another strength being that this magic isn't prone to any certain elemental weakness due to the fact that the user is using his soul to do their attacks and such. Another strength to this magic is the destructive power that the energy from the person's soul can produce.
Weaknesses: The fact that energy does not have a certain element gives this magic it's major weakness. Which is that this magic will never have an advantage against any certain type of element. Another weaknesses to this magic is that you cannot control other people's souls. The user can only control his/her own soul. One of the weaknesses to this magic is that it could take a lot out of the user when used heavily. Due to the magic being destructive by nature if the user is not careful they could end up hurting those whom they never intended to hurt.
V. HISTORY
History:
Aryanna Devine was born on a very cold night in December to Marisa Devine and Rokuro Kiryūin. Marisa hailed from the Devine family and was devout to the goddess Psykhe her husband on the other hand not so much, leading to the two to eventually split. Because of the rather strong magic the Devine line possesses Aryanna inherited the blessing of using the Reishi Magic that all members of the Devine bloodline possessed. Since her birth the soul energy that presented itself as a representation of her magic, was rather off seeing as it was a mix of purples and blues as it fluctuated around her. This puzzled Marisa seeing as she had no idea of why herself and because of this she mistook it as a Sign that her daughter would be made to be the one chosen by Psykhe herself, for what purpose she didn't know.
From the time she was young Aryanna showed much potential as the magic within her manifested and matured quickly. Her mother saw this and wasted no time in branding her soul with the council of three and began training her how to use it. Being a single mother only made Marisa stronger and she made sure that Aryanna was as much devoted to Psykhe just as much as she was. Aryanna herself didn't mind at all and enjoyed training and learning more about her goddess. Around other children Aryanna was quite the friendly soul but she was constantly shunned for her beliefs. Not many of the other kids accepted her and she ended up having a few close friends rather than being popular amongst many. Those that did stick around were amazed at the things she could do with her magic as most of them did not have magical abilities.
Upon hitting a certain age the pressure of her mother's strictness had begun to get the best of her. Especially during the time of her Cousin from her mother side, Jabo Devine becoming the " chosen one " something Her mother thought she was destined for. Because of this Her mother trained her harder and made her pray longer, keeping her from the little friends she had left. Once she hit the she of 18 rebellion had begun and though she prayed she rarely if ever listened to her mother.
As time went on the conflict between the two got worse until it led them to argue and fight. Aryanna wouldn't put up with her mother's controlling ways and Marisa was disgusted with her daughter lack of respect and failing to be chosen by the goddess. Disowned and put out from her home Aryanna went against it all and joined a dark guild in spite of her mother and she let it be known that she was through with rules and bring told what to do. Today she stands at the top rank in her guild, ever thirsty for more power to take the spot as " chosen one " by her goddess.
