-Basic Information-
Name: Chikusho "Chiku" Unoji
Age of Death: 24
Real Age/Age of Appearance: 2045/HOLY SHIT IT'S A BUG! (I'm not sure she looks any particular age...)
Birthday (Month/Day): 6/6
Blood Type: B negative
RP Sample (Optional): [Insert Here]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Appearance-
Height/Weight: 6'7"/345 pounds
Physical Description:
To put things simply, Chiku is physically imposing. Not only is she rather large, but she has VERY prominent aspects that draw attention. Her tail, first and foremost, a very large chitinous tail that can be raised over her head and lurch, capable of reaching around her to extend up to two meters from her body. The stinger itself, much like a scorpion's, is curved at it's tip, making it a very painful thing to have shoved into you. Something a number of people have learned.
From there attention likely goes to her arms, all six of them. Two sets have normal hands, albeit slightly armored and clawed, but still hands in a sense of the word. The anterior of the three sets, which are set in sockets attached to the shoulder blades and end in very large, powerful claws. These claws are pincer-like as one would expect from a scorpion. In addition to being very strong, they are also rather large and heavy.
{Spoiler}
From there attention then moves to her face. In addition to her Extra eyes which form a small curved semicircle beneath her main eyes, she also has her mandibles which flank her mouth and provide a general sense of alien-ness to an already very alien visage. Not only exotic, her face is an intimidating one. More often than not she is seen in such a manner that often running is the most popular reaction. Second only to screaming or attacking. Of course, there are a number of individuals who do not react in this way, some even go so far as to find her pleasant or beautiful. She does not however have ears, instead she has tiny pits in her shell which have small vibration-sensitive hairs, which pick up on sound.
{Spoiler}
From there, her anatomy becomes a tad more regular. With a somewhat pliant frame she is very capable of flexing her muscles and bulging her carapace slightly, resulting in a more exaggerated musculature and a frame that seems very masculine and bulky. However in a more relaxed state her plates contract and she looks a bit more slim and even feminine. With a flexibility of joints and plating that comes from her reduced internal skeleton she has a remarkable ability to slide her limb about and even slide her secondary set of unclawed arms behind her so as to seem to only have two sets of upper limbs, which is a considerable step in seeming less intimidating around others. The sections between these plates of hers are actually ligament-like sections which are only mildly tougher than skin. These sections, as stated, bulge out slightly, extending the space between the plates and cause her body to seem to bulk up. They are also responsible for her incredible flexibility as the bones in her body are very reduced and indeed are almost unused save for her skull and thorax which have very thick amounts of bone in them. The only real extensively sexual dimorphic aspect is her breasts, which are a bit large, resulting in a habit of binding them, even in the earlier stages of her intellect.
{Spoiler}
From here on below her features are more feminine as her legs show considerable sexual dimorphism in their plating, being a bit more smooth, even in her flexed state they do not particularly burst out much. The legs look rather human save for a bend at the mid-calf where the joint reverses, ending in a toeless foot, looking like a boot or the toe of a shoe rather than that of a mammal's. Her physiology being so flexible, she is very limber and those long legs of hers often can be found propulsing her along quite rapidly despite her size.
That aside it is typically with a considerable level of calm and control that Chiku carries herself, the manner in which she presents and behaves herself, even the way she holds herself as she stands is surprisingly calm and graceful compared to most shinigami as she has a multitude of limbs and a much finer control of her weight distribution. As such she has a very calm walk and a considerably steady gait, capable of putting geishas to shame as she moves and navigates herself around. In addition to this her expression, once gotten past it's enigmacy is often very soft and almost motherly in a sense. She obviously has a multitude of attitudes, and can look VERY ferocious, but for the moat part she conducts herself (when unprovoked) with a very calm and calculated manner befitting of a Scorpion. she gets angry, but it is, mostly, when she is displaying aggression, her actual state of anger does not necessitate facial shifting and as such it can be incredibly hard to gauge her irritation until it is too late.
{Spoiler}
So far as typical attire, Chiku typically garbs herself in traditional rukongai style. While during her earlier stages of intellect she will typically wear less, she typically garbs herself in a manner similar to a samurai. Sarashi bindings to...reduce her considerable breasts. At first wearing naught but sarashi and a hakama, she tends to wear more and more as she progresses, though in battle she will often shed her top save for the bindings in order to fight without restriction and to allow the effective use of all of her arms. Her clothing however can be rather tattered as any shirts would need to be custom made, another reason for her toplessness at initial stages.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Personality-
Dislikes:
Muffling Surroundings- Or really anything that muffle sound. She is very uncomfortable when her surroundings are unaccoustic to the point of making it very hard for her to sense her surroundings. This is rather disorienting and she finds it very unpleasant.
Vegetables-She is not very fond of the taste, being primarily a carnivore with omnivorous tendencies, she does her best to eat meat when she can. More often than not she actually will decline to eat if there are only vegetables around.
Country Music- The lyrics, more than anything, bother her excessively. If she cannot get it to stop, she will relocate. If she cannot do so, she tends to have a bit of a bad mood.
Being Silenced-Physically and verbally, she dislikes being kept from expressing her opinion, however rare it is. This is a very rare issue as typically she does not share her opinion, though around....certain influences, this can change, especially around individuals whose opinions she cares about, as such she will share hers in hopes of gratification through acknowledgment of her opinion as sound.
Weak Smells-Although her sense of smell is phenomenal, she is not very fond of weak smells, at least compared to stronger ones as they simply blend in with everything else. Individuals who have no scent or have very little scent, be that of body odor or at least of soap, she tends to view in lower standing.
Signs-She can't read them. Obviously. What with her blindness. She can understand braille(assuming someone teaches it to her), but that's about it.
Good people- We're talking about saintly people, individuals who give everything and ask for nothing. Such individuals make her feel very uncomfortable. She just doesn't like being around them.
Being called a Monster-Something very detrimenting to the woman. It depresses her greatly as it is, for all intents and purposes, true. Or so she sometimes believes. In the heat of battle or conflicts, she ignores this. Shinigami and humans say all sorts of things for no reason other than to hurt someone, she takes very little stock in this. No, it is only people she cares about that can truly hurt her with this.
Vegetarians-She doesn't trust them.
Bossy People: She tends not to respond well to being told what to do by people with a certain....tone. Something about the way they tell her to mind her own business, to go clean that floor, or if they just speak to her in a way that makes it seem like they think they own her. She doesn't much like that.
Danger to the Young Master- ANYTHING that threatens her young master is an immediate baddie in her book and more often than not invites violence. Though as she grows more and more intelligent, she begins to realize how much of a danger his empire has put him in.
Milk: She finds it kinda...weird. Especially People Milk. Which she runs into a lot more than she would like. She lives at a brothel after all.
Likes:
Yasu Unoji-The Young master and, at present, something of a child for her. She herself having had no real success in mating, she sees the young man who had taken her into not only his business but also his family as something of a lovely young man and one with potential. She is however unaware of the horrible things he does to keep his business afloat.
Courtesans:-she spends most of her time around them, be it wrenching off clients that get too handsy, or simply spending time with them when they aren't busy, she finds them very lovely women and they tend to like her. Through experience, she has come to very much enjoy their company as well as the little beauty and speaking lessons they give her.
Looking Pretty:- Or as pretty as one of her looks CAN be. Those that help her look more appealing or presentable will always find a special place in her heart and mind and can more easily gain her trust.
Being flirted with: It probably won't happen but hey a girl can dream.
Meat-Generally regardless of the type of meat, she will often indulge herself to a considerable extent so long as it's not super expensive looking (assuming it's not given to her by the young master). Having come to be well-versed in different types of foods, she at theivery least knows a good cut from a crappy one.
Loud Noises-Despite her excellent sense of hearing she quite likes loud noises, to the extent of gravitating toward commotions. She has, as such, built up quite the resistance to sensory overload over the years. Something about bone-rattling music just kinda pleases her. Not to mention they give her a VERY clear idea of her surroundings.
Compliments-They're super rare and always appreciated.
Being told what to do-She has a pretty pronounced Soldier Mindset. Being told what to do, within reason, tends to work out now and then when one would think it wouldn't.
Rule-abiding Patrons-They make things so much easier. The frequents sometimes even star to like her and bring her gifts from time to time.
Sand-It feels pretty nice against her Carapace.
Garret:She doesn't know his last name, and she barely can pronounce his first one, but that being said despite the....enigmatic manner of their encounter, she has come to somewhat like the man.
Cold Weather- she feels surprisingly at home in cold temperatures. Wether it's the bundling up or the way snow falls, she always enjoys those frigid temperatures.
Flaws:
Monsterous- Her appearance is absolutely shocking to those unfamiliar with her kind. Regardless of the shit you've seen, nothing quite seems to prepare you for her, only the very brave or the very kind tend to be able to stand her looks and get to know her better. It takes a lot of getting used to. Thankfully, whores tend to be very accepting. Amirite? That being said, it is hard for her to forge meaningful relationships.
Objective Pessimism-Things like Honor, Morality, Unconditional love? She doesn't have that. She understands the argument for it, and she can copy behavior when she needs to. But when it comes to actually implementing such things, it's only ever on a level of necessity, she doesn't really believe in any of it. Her view on the world is very literal. She doesn't see anything as good or evil. Things just kill other things because they need to in order to survive, it is a survival instinct to remove potential threats. Things like Good and Evil just complicates what is, in her opinion, a very simple world.
Blind- While her other senses cover this weakness for combat purposes, it is still very inconvenient in a world where labels are so important. The fact that she won't know Braille off the bat also further complicates things. Colors are meaningless, shiny to her is just "smooth' But then not all things that are smooth are shiny. So there's a lot that is lost to her. She relies on noises, general features, and smells to understand who is around her.
Weight- she's kindof a fatass. Even if she does not look physically obese, she is heavy as all fuck. Most would assume that her height is a big problem, but given her flexibility with a lack of a pronounced internal skeleton, she can get around that, what she CAN'T handle is anything were being heavy would be a problem. Like being picked up or moved. She can move fast on her own, but having others carry her is super hard, and if a structure isn't very sound, it can sometimes break from her sheer weight. More than a few chairs have broken from her bulk.
Habits:
Apathetic-She has trouble dealing with "People Problems" in contrast to the kinds of problems her kind has. Such as food and such as opposed to stupid shit like death of family or friends, or relationship drama. It just is something she is used to. She can be comforting, but deep down she really doesn't care.
Silent Observation:-She finds that talking doesn't usually help things out all the time, so every now and then, she will fall into observant silence. She can be a talker sure, but sometimes she needs a little urging.
Clicking her tongue, tapping her claws/foot. Making soft noises.-They help giver a better feed on her surroundings so often she will use her body like a clicker to help her 'see' what's around her. She does this particularly when she is wary or on edge, so it can sometimes even be an indication of her mood to see if she is excited or anxious.
Eating Vermin-Specifically rats and the like. Hey, don't knock it. That Brothel has not had a rodent problem throughout the entire duration of it being in business. In a place like the rukongai that's pretty nice.
Wandering-When she isn't on duty and Master Unoji tells her to take some time off, she tends to wander the Rukongai a lot. She sometimes goes to the wilderness and hunts hollows, as the creatures tend to fascinate her in a way she can't quite explain. Not just that but she feels the nomadic sensation of keeping her legs moving is just very relaxing for her. If she didn't have her obligations she'd just.....keep walking.
Fears:
Losing Master Unoji:-she already lost her biological children, the loss of the young master would depress her further. Even though she doesn't have the same sort of love that shinigami and humans boast of, it would still be very sad to have to endure another loss like the one she faced before. Not only that but it would mean losing the only real purpose she had in her life. Hardly one to run a brothel all on her own, the place her young Master worked so hard for would be gone.
Ice-She likes water, she can actually swim pretty well. Just when it gets too cold and the ice starts to form she become a bit....less enthused. something about that treacherous stuff just rubs her the wrong way. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she's hit her head on it so many times. She doesn't mind ice itself, honestly if she'd had better experiences with it she might even like the stuff, but it's just too treacherous.
Imprisonment:-She hates being cooped up. Call it claustrophobia, disliking the popo, whatever. She is NOT a fan of being tied up and more often than not she will melt her way out of her bindings if necessary in order to get her ass out of suck a situation. Some handcuffing (you'll need a lot of them) won't set her raging, but if her cell is too small, she is not going to be very quiet.
Goals:
Master Unoji and the Girls having Kids- She sees him like a son, and what does every mother want? Grandkids! So really she's has been pushing for the young master to settle down for a while now. so if she sees some nice girl who is pretty and has a lovely voice? She may very well try to set her up with her little one. This ALSO extends to her 'daughters' the Courtesans who had, over time, come to be like little daughters to her. She knows they have to work, but still she does cross her claws every time a particularly nice customer comes around. MAKE ME SOME GRANDCRITTERS DAMMIT!
Find a nice home where her and all her children (MAster Unoji and the Hookaz)- In addition to having grandkids, she wants to find a nice place for all of them to live once this whole brothel business rolls over. Somewhere nice and sunny where it doesn't get cold in the winter.
Alignment: Neutral Good
Overall Personality:
Chikusho is.....an interesting woman. Chances are that when you meet this big buggy lady, that her very first reaction to you is going to be turning in your direction. Admittedly she can't see but she has a habbit of looking at people as she has been taught that...well it's polite. Silence is well, what you'll likely get at first. Not one to go jabbering your ear off at the start of the race, she will likely look you over, and let you talk. She takes the time to observe, take a person in, see what sort of voice they have, the tone they lace it with, the words they use. Even if she doesn't know what ALL of them mean, she can use context most of the time and tends to like the sound of some words more than others. she uses this to gain a first impression, and that typically dictates how she acts around you.
Around people she likes, she tends to be a bit more chatty. Her Claws relax and slide behind her back, those pincers sliding out of view and even her second set of arms fold out of the way and she looks much more...normal. She smiles and speaks softly, warmly. She is much more prone to laugh and even make attempts at jokes. She asks questions a lot, especially about word use and any items of interest on the individual, becoming a bit....well nosy. It just means she's interested! Honest! So far as physical affection though she is not very...huggy, thankfully. So most of the time she doesn't really seek physical contact unless it's someone close like family, but even they don't usually receive physical affection very often. The highest form of affection is putting someone in a position to ride on her back. This is how she would carry one of her children so this is a big thing for her.
Around people she has no strong opinion about she can be...sociable. She will tend to be very silent, watching and looking for any hints as to what she things would change her opinion. These people are common, but given enough time they typically fall into the other three categories eventually because well, she tends to look for reasons to categorize. Around these types of people she doesn't like to talk much, a little more than around those she dislikes or is uncomfortable around but well, still not as much as if she actually liked the person. From time to time she will be a bit more nosy, if she is feeling particularly inhibited she may even dip into another category for the person, as she is an unpredictable drunk. Sometimes she can even be a little flirty, mainly because this tends to throw people off and make them show things about themselves they would otherwise keep repressed.
Around people she dislikes she tends to....show a bit more claw. Her Pincers usually in plain view, as well as that stinger of hers. She is VERY watchful of these people and won't even turn her head toward them as she focuses her other senses on them completely. She may look like she's looking somewhere else with those blind orbs, but she's focused on YOU Mr or Mrs Troublemaker. At times she can also be a little violent with individuals in this category if they start trouble. Admittedly she isn't looking for trouble most of the time, but she sometimes tends to fish for a reason to injure someone if they have a particularly irritating personality trait.
Some people get a very special means of interaction. Weirdos. Some people even give HER the heeby jeebies. You there with the insane murderous face? Nope, she's fine with you. A super powerful leader that rules with an iron fist? Newp. Are you jacking off in a raincoat in the middle of the road? She dislikes you, but you still don't fit in this category. This is actually reserved for people that are just....too nice. Obnoxiously nice. People that do everything and anything to help others. She doesn't know what it is but it just feels..creepy. She tends to act guarded around them.
Generally speaking, she is a very quiet woman, preferring to observe and listen than to speak herself unless the mood strikes her. She has a surprising lack of 'right and wrong' in her. She doesnt' particularly hate people who do bad things, her position generally being that survival is the name of the game, and some people are just better at it than others. This is exemplified by her lack of concern for Master Unoji's generally lecherous and evil behavior from murder to blackmail. She doesn't have a problem with it, and she doesn't really mind it from others unless it's her job to do so. Though that would just be a professional problem, nothing personal. Speaking of personal, she takes things in such regard very rarely. She has been called a monster all her life and she knows she's one. Who cares if some riffraff punk calls her ugly? She knows she's ugly, and you're just being noisy. Leave her alone you little brat.
Given her age, which she actually acts, she is actually a bit like one of those old ladies that simply stopped giving a fuck. She remains active and gives off a very odd, sagely aura. One can't help but respect her if the mind is open to such things and really she has an odd feel of wisdom about her, even if she knows very little so far as a shinigami might understand. She isn't smart, she's just wise. She's been through a lot, and really you would do well to mind her words you rugrat. That being said she does have her own personal brand of silent rage. Her face remains remarkably calm when she's furious. She'll LOOK angry, even sound angry sometimes, but that's just for shinigami. Scorpions don't hiss or spit, they don't gesture and bare their teeth. They look you in the eye and get their stinger ready to stab you in the forehead.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Powers-
Fighting Style:
Chikusho's fighting style is very unconventional. Specifically in that it is particularly destructive to her environment. Not only does her Yaseishin tend to melt a lot of what is around her, but she also has a very pronounced habiit of DIGGING. Be it through a wall, the floor, or through ground/dirt/sand/ whatever. She likes to find cover and sense her opponent through it. From there she reaches through the ground/wall/ceiling/flooring and will typically drag her opponent down into the ground with her before stinging and clawing them repeatedly, then burying them in rubble or whatever is really available. Digging your ass out after taking an injection of lactic acid or five tends to be very difficult.
Of course in environments in which destruction of surroundings is not as easy, she tends to be a bit more straight-forwward. She typically waits for her opponent to come to her, often remaining perfectly still until an opponent enters her range. Using her sharp senses she typically avoids or blocks any incoming shots, followed by immediate retaliation in much the same way traditional scorpions hold their ground until an enemy comes within stinging range. However in this fighting style she tends to not release her yaseishin as it tends to be very easy for an opponent to simply wait out it's duration and then attack once it's over and she's wasted her stamina. This way she can save her strength and fight extremely conservatively.
While she is capable of using weapons she tends to favor the use of various types of hand combat, be it punching, chopping, or simply stabbing people with her sharp claws and stinger. Her carapace itself is quite hard, making it particularly easy to stab people even with those clawed hands of hers and not using her stinger or her pincers. Prying limbs apart and generally being a right brute about ripping into her opponents, she seldom has to worry about being thorough as she is typically very intent on making sure that an opponent is unable to continue fighting, unless of course it is a more friendly bout.
In regards to illussions and the like she tends not to take much stock in them. As she is....well...blind. She tends to be a little confused when people start acting so relaxed around her, thinking they pulled a fast one. Hallucinations however do tend to disorient her. She is not used to seeing anything so when an effect makes her see things she knows it isn't real, but that doesn't make it any less disruptive. Hallucinagens, typically, stimulate the brain into seeing something. However, as she is unused to Seeing anything, she typically tends to panic a little. Of course this does nothing to an illussion's ability to effect her other senses. When any sort of trickery is involved, her senses are typically enough to see right through them, but when they aren't she does tend to retreat, preferring to find out what happened before going at it again in the future, hopefully without it happening again or finding a way to keep the enemy from initiating it. That being said, her plans typically are not very complex. Keeping her enemy from doing something typically boils down to : hit them before they can do it.
Actually, a number of her strategies involve general dismemberment and disfiguring of her enemies. Sure she may not be very...original, but it gets the job done, her digging habit and her yaseishin generally tend to be the extent of her base fighting style. Though with tutelage she may yet be able to progress to more elaborate planning. That being said she is a surprisingly apt learner. Being very observant individual she is able to learn considerably well and often takes in information wherever she is able to. The prospect of learning to fight from a master would definitely be something she was interested in, her own tricks and such being a bit....varied. Every now and then, she will surprise opponents. In her many years she has fought a number of punks and drunks, some of them doing things that impressed her enough to remember them. She may not be the best at executing perfect imitation, but she is more than liable to pull a fast one now and then, granted that it is not overly elaborate.
Yaseishin Name Tsutsashgüi (The Tireless)
Yaseishin Apperance:[/b] During Tsutsashgui, Chiku's exoskeleton and hair turns from brow to a sinister black color. In addition to gaining several inches in height, resulting in a height of 7'4" she also gains length in her stinger, allowing it to reach eight feet in any direction from her body. For the entire duration of the technique, a gray mist seeps from seemingly every part of her body, as well as filling the air with a soft hissing noise. Along the inside of her claws form several small barbs, the tips of which are hollow as they too begin secreting this mist, this is also shared with her stinger.
Yaseishin Overall Ability:[/b] Tsutsashgui's overal ability is the ejection of Lactic acid from her body in large ammounts, an acid produced by muscles during anaerobic respiration as a result of oxygen deficiency. By Channeling this acid from her muscles to her exoskeleton and ejecting it from her body in the form of a fine mist, she all but eliminates the effects of stamina drain on herself while it is active. If she is in a state of fatigue as a result of combat prior to the release, releasing will immediately alleviate her and keep her from feeling such effects for the duration of the release. Additionally, when released her body produces a much larger quantity of this acid, resulting in producing enough to constantly keep a thick fog of acid around her at all times. Direct exposure will typically eat away layers of skin up to the muscle in the span of one post. If it is left alone then the mist will typically have begun eating midway into the muscle layer by the second post, and completely eaten into the flesh down to the bone by the third post. Chiku's surroundings also will be effected by the mist, eating into several inches of wood, about an inch of stone or similar materials, and a quarter inch of steel or other metals per post.
However, this lactic acid does not simply evaporate and dissolve into nothing in the air, it is forcibly ejected from her body, where it settles to the ground, or lands on objects around her, eating away at her surroundings with an intensity of around 200. Also, due to the positions of these ejection sites, namely from the tip of her stinger and her claws, this lactic acid can be injected into her opponents by method of piercing their skin with either of these natural weapons, or subjecting an opponent's wound to the gas. Indirect exposure (breathing in, wound contact with the mist, through the skin) result in burns as previously stated, typically able to eat through an individual's skin at initial exposure, and eroding skin down to the bone by the second post. However, by direct injection, not only will this burn intensity increase to 400 and will typically eat away at the surrounding muscle within the first post, but additionally the target will immediately begin feeling Chiku's fatigue in her stead as the lactic acid begins eating into their muscle and tissue as though through strenuous activity. This effect, as it is physical rather than the effects of reiatsu, can be reversed with a Healing Efficiency of 200 or higher. The Mist itself permeates an area of about 5 meters around her when in her released state and is generally obstructive to vision, in that it is slightly concealing (translucent rather than completely opaque), and the fact that at a certain distance it will start eating into your eyes.
The Drawback of this ability comes as rather large, and does not wait for the Yaseishin release itself to end. After every three posts of continuous combat that Chikusho overcomes, the strain of pumping so much lactic acid from her muscles weakens the muscle itself, reducing her strength and Speed stats by 10%, compounding for every three posts that this occurs. Once the effect ends, or Chiku takes rest, this debuff begins to decay, regaining 10% of her stats every post until they are completely regained. Healing has no effect on this stat reduction.
Yaseishin Enhancements:[/b] X
Other Techniques:
Birthplace: The Sahara
Current Residence: Rukongai Inner Districts
Memorable Figures:
Yasu Unoji:
A sick and twisted man, he was the one to pick her up out of the wilderness as a child and take her in as muscle for his Brothel. Using her stupidity, blindness, and simple nature as a means of manipulating her, he was her very first experience so far as human interaction.
Subida Roja:
Another of the guards hired by Master Unoji, she actually very much likes the woman. Rough, tough, and like Chiku: not very woman-looking, she and this tough gal have had a lot of good times together. Sometimes a little too good.
Echnidae Suchiru:
One of the many girls indoctrinated into the brothel through necessity, the woman has a lot of mystery about her. Despite supposedly being a soul she dresses rather strangely and has a lot more attitude than the other courtesans. Chiku feels rather protective of her.
Ajora Faengerhol:
Another of the stranger ladies in the brothel, she is actually a customer. She comes in very rarely and Chiku can't help but feel....off about the lady. She has evoked the woman's curiosity more than once. She seems to have a particular interest in Ariugrette.
Ariugrette Tsetsara:
A woman with a mouthful of a name. She is one of the few courtesans that supposedly used to be a shinigami. The manner in which she came to be where she was is unknown, but she often cries when asked about it.
Jice Zadjett:
This is another strange woman that came to the brothel. Word has it that she was once a part of some sort of big organization, the details are very shady but she seems to have an odd dislike for shinigami that even unsettles Master Unoji. She gives great head though.
Umi Ekaji:
Another courtesan, this woman is very popular amongst the more submissive clientele. However, around the other courtesans she couldn't be nicer, often assisting Chiku in her english lessons and even helping the woman get prettied up now and then. A wonderful seamstress, she is responsible for the very few tops that Chiku owns.
Garret:
A man that once almost led to the destruction of the Brothel as a result of his curse. despite the fact that she almost tore him in half, she quite likes the man and feels some semblance of affection for the dude. He might even be a friend!
History:
Many stories of origin are quite sad. Many are so filled with hardship and suffering that one can barely manage to speak of them, let alone remember them. But alas, Chiku's has not been a very hard history. People have died yes, she has suffered some, but in her opinion there is very little tragic about it in the slightest, in fact she considers her life to be rather prosperous and privileged despite the somewhat shady circumstances around them. Awakening to Soul Society's outter wilderness, she lived a very simple life. In the sands, hunting for food, and for lackof a better way of putting it: Simply Surviving. She had no goals, no aspirations, no issues or woes. She had attempted, for a time, to mate and have young ones, though her first and only child was eaten by a hollos. but then, for the wastes, that was not particularly uncommon. So really it did not bother her much, it was just something that happened.
So when a young merchant caravan ran into her and several others of her kind, there was really nothing personal or befitting of her rage. It was just another attack, and she slew the guards, though several of the others died in the process. It was at this point that a young man, with ambitious eyes and something about him that had already, at his young age, rotten him to the core, so found promise in her and rather than offering her the sharp end of a blade, he offered her food. Surprised at this, she allowed herself to be led out of the wastes and to the very center of the caravan. At first she was restrained and a sack placed over her head. However they soon discovered that she was a: blind, and that B: her auditory sensation was not isolated to her head, and she seemed hardly very inhibited by it. Perhaps even more surprising was the fact that she did not seem particularly violent.
After a few hours she was unbound partially, bit by bit over the course of the few days that the caravan travelled. She was tended to by the young boy, fed, and even petted. It was not unpleasant, and she didn't exactly have any sense of dignity to be offended at such treatment, so it was allowed and even enjoyed. When the caravan finally arrived at the rukon districts, she was taken in as a pet for the boy, whose father had been killed during the journey and whose mother had died in child birth. However as it so happened, the boy belonged to a rathr well-off family and inherited a good deal of money. So there was hardly much grief in the boy's heart, indeed he felt rather happy about his parent's death. With his new money and a very dangerous pet, he began to terrorize the neighborhood.
Naturally she did not entirely understand what it is that she was being used for. Those that endangered the boy she had come to trust and have care for her usually met their end at her pincers or stinger, pinned to the ground, torn apart, or simply stabbed to death. She simply saw them as dangers to him, her only family, or rather almost her child. Being so young she fancied herself the boy's mother and oft went out of her way at times to 'deal with' those that even the boy did not have her attack. Such did the boy's influence and reputation grow, to the point where he purchased out an old worn out noble housing, the previous occupants: The Uzumakis, having been disgraced when their family head went mad, screaming of some horrible spectre named sasuki. Losing their home, the young boy, whose name , originally Kito Umori, was now Yasu Unoji, proceeded to purchase the estate and in very little time converted it to a brothel.
Of course, despite being unable to speak very well, if at all, she was very pleased when her young master began to speak and interview many young ladies. At first simply smiling and such, enjoying the fact that he seemed to be growing up, but as he began collecting less....savory women, unbeknownst to her because they were simply cheap, she immediately intervened. Chasing off the ugly and more stupid-sounding girls and inspecting the new ones. He was getting out of control and losing his prospect of quality! Soon realizing Chiku's knack for prospecting high-price courtesants, Yasu began enlisting her presence during all interviews and soon they had quite the roster of women who were not simply pleasant to look at, but who each had a certain charm to their voice, girls that had some sort of ring to their words such that one day, when the Young master Yasu came to the brothel after dealing with advertisment deals, he found that Chiku had engaged hald of the courtesan staff in a sort of harmonized wordless song.
The business suddenly bloomed. The young man's brothel soon earned it's reputation as The Haven of the Nightingales. And became enormously successful and ESPECIALLY famous for it's security. A small number of mercenaries as well as, of course, Chiku. Being able to deal with all but the strongest of the average malcontents, as the place was hardly a location for shinigami or other powerful souls, she was quite well known. Because of all of this success, Yasu began to consider her a great treasure and a wonderful sign of good luck. The rotten, corrupt young man, through the years, began to grow more and more attatched. As business partners came and went, either growing tired of the business or trying to take it over and meeting a very swift end, she became his one constant.
He began treating her very differently, and soon she was as well tended as any young noblewoman. Given fine garbs, which she never wore, and fed the finest of foods, he even went so far as to adopt him into his family. While his was hardly a family of nobles, his success put him in fairly high standing, She, of course, didn't understand the specifics and trivial details. All she knew was that her little boy had becme a very handsome and very comfortable young man, with so many lovely women around him and who took such good care of his dear Chiku.
In addition to the perks of being in with the owner, she was allowed free reign over the courtesans, given massages and the like a she wished, though the staff themselves soon found her to be surprisingly agreeable and pleasant, even with the language barrier. Some of them began assisting her with her english with some minimal success, and others even attempted to give her her own brand of makeover (Typically courtesy of Echnidae or Ariugrette), which usually lasted about a day, but always brightened the mood between clients. Her fellow guard Subida even hangs out and drinks with her, on one particularly drunken occasion the two actually had something of an intimate encounter with one another. Neither of them speaks about it.
Very recently however, things have begun to change. As the Brothel has gained popularity, she had been going with her young master out on more and more ventures, and the Brothel itself has gained the attention of more other-worldly beings, even prospect of starting a branch in the world of the living have started. And while she does not quite understand what any of that means, she notices that the young master has taken to conversing with shinigami a lot more frequently.
Naturally she worries, as the strange uniformed men and women seem to have a knack of attracting trouble, but for the time being she has remained silent and protective. Though even as an animal she senses that her world may very well be on the brink of changing, and she can only hope that this change comes in the best interest of her young master Yasu. She isn't so sure what she would do without him.
