-Basic Information-
Name: Achana Sonozaki
Real Age/Age of Appearance: 24 Years Old \-\ 20 Years Old
Birthday (Month/Day): 9/12
Blood Type: O-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Appearance-
Height/Weight: 5' 5" - 120 lbs.
Physical Description:
Achana Sonozaki is average height for a woman her age. With white hair, which some might find peculiar for her young age. The white locks frame a pale visage that is smooth and faire. A woman of beauty by modern standards would be considered an accurate descriptor. Her physical stature is one of an athlete's, who has trained from a young age to be physically fit and agile. With a modest bust, she wasn't overly curvy as that would be a trait of a more sedentary woman. Even now, in her adult years and training with Xcution, she sports an athletic frame, with all of the charms one might expect from one of surprisingly good looks.
Though as one were to examine the woman in closer detail, they would see the Mitsu-Tomoe [Shinto Trinity] tattooed on her collar bone, just above her chest. The three tomoe spiral outward into a circle that is a sinifier of unity. This potent magic crest is the representation of Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld all linked together. She also possessed an X shaped tattoo on the back of her right hand, denoting her allegiance to Xcution. Down on each of her ankles she sported tattoos of the Yin on her right and Yang on her left. Potent magical symbols of balance and harmony.
Some of her more exotic features were not present in her growing up but took place as she matured as a Shaman. Her hair, once raven black, turned it's white, snowy color as she gained more spiritual power. The tattoos described above were given to her during certain shamanic ritual practices to enhance her mana [or as the spiritual community calls it, Reiatsu.] This is all too apparent if one were to examine her spiritual energy as it seemed like the tattoos on her chest and ankles seemed to act as spiritual conduits that assisted the mortal body in channeling energy it otherwise should not be able to.
Achana can be often seen wearing the traditional kimono of a Shinto priestess of her family over her combat attire, which is a black, skin-tight battle suit with purple light-armor plating on her shoulders, elbows, and knees. At her waist is the hilt of a sacred sword passed down through the Sonozaki family as a spiritual focus. It is said to possess the soul of Sonozaki Hida, the last great swordsman of the family in the Edo Era. The handle of that legendary blade is kept at her side at all times, even when she sleeps.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Personality-
Dislikes:
[*] Shinigami : "Spirits claiming to be lords over the spiritual. Usurpers of shamanic tradition." - Achana does not like Shinigami as she feels it is the job of Humanity, and more specifically, Shamans to ease the pain of spirits and help them pass on. She blames them for the decline in the spiritual mediums as a whole.
[*] Hollow : "For obvious reasons. Perversions of Nature. This includes Arrancar." - It is not easy for her to dislike Hollow. They killed her parents, attacked her on multiple occasions, and persist as festering blights on the Soul Cycle.
[*] Snakes : "They creep me out!" - Achana does not like snakes as she finds the slithering motion of movement and the forked tongues to be creepy. Just one of those natural dislikes one would expect the average female to have.
[*] Dogs : "Subservient and unintelligent." - She is not a dog lover by any stretch of the mind. She finds dogs stupid and too reliant on humanity, all of the traits one shouldn't want in a species if it intended to survive in the long term.
[*] Crying : "Weakness on display is nothing but shameful, and should be reprimanded." - Having been scolded for it by her grandparents on multiple occasions, as well was having been teased even harder by the kids at school when they pushed her to that point of sadness and despair, Crying is nothing more than displaying a vulnerability to be exploited from her point of view.
[*] Weaklings : "Strength is needed for survival." - As a Shaman, she is focused on the natural order. The strong devour the weak, The predator devours the prey, and the cycle of life keeps revolving. Protecting those who cannot even protect themselves is part of her tasks, though she laments doing such kindness as she feels its a violation of the natural order.
[*] The Damned: "Souls of Hell deserve to stay there, for it is the natural order." - With the recent advent of souls escaping from Hell, be it the damned, demons, and otherwise, she is not afraid to show her displeasure at the idea of the unworthy breaking the trinity of the Shinto; Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld.
[*] Charity: "Those who cannot get what they need to survive on their own should be left to die. They should not be allowed to persist as parasites on the efforts of the strong." - Giving out handouts and providing to those in need is not in her nature. To give money to the homeless and food to the hungry keeps souls on Earth longer than they should logically be allowed to. It is the order of nature for the weak to perish and the strong to survive, not the strong sacrifice so the weak can continue to exist needlessly.
[*] Traitors: "If your resolve cannot see a cause through to the end, then you should never have taken a stand to start with." - Achana cannot stand traitors. To turn on your allies and work for the enemy is ultimately dishonorable and shameful. The very act that in the interest of self-preservation, one would not only submit to the will of their opponent, but turn and act out against those they once fought against is signing your own death warrant when it comes to her.
[*] Surrender: "I'd rather die than give up. For if one's spirit is broken to the point of surrender, then death of oneself has already occurred." - Achana believes in honor, and the tradition of a warrior, particularly the samurai. Due to the soul memories that reside in her Fullbring, she has a Do or Die preference and to surrender and give up is tantamount to the ultimate dishonor a warrior could commit on the field of battle.
Likes:
[*] Fighting : "It is only by the fires of conflict can we forge the future." - She has the soul of a warrior and to restrain herself to the general humdrum of everyday life would only bore her. She is the sort that would actively seek out a challenge to meet her in combat, even if it was just a sparring match.
[*] Honor: "Those who can act with integrity and resolve are to be respected." - Achana loves those who can behave with honor, like the samurai of old. Not-so-much the bushido mentality, but those worthy of respect and who can keep their word. If her superior is one who follows through and behaves with integrity, she is the type who would follow them into a storm of hellfire and back. There is no person she would rather be around, even if she might not show it.
[*] Edo Era History: "A Time when Honor and Strength ruled the land. It is my ideal world." - The time of the Daimyo and the Shogunate, a period in Japanese history in which might made right, and everything was kept in order by the natural law. A time period when the Shinto Priests and Priestesses were respected, and the kami revered. It was also the golden age of Shamans, and she would love for anything but to experience it first-hand, even if it's impossible to do such.
[*] Cats: "Independent and cunning. Intelligent creatures who deserve attention when it is demanded." - She finds cats majestic and impressive. Even domesticated cats can take care of themselves with little assistance from their owners. All from using the litter box without needing designated walks for relieving oneself to finding and hunting down food; either in garbage cans or the old-fashioned way. If the opportunity presents itself, she rarely refuses an offer to pet one and give it scritches behind the ears.
[*] Swords: "The bigger the better! One must always stand on the cutting edge between life and death in a fight, and there is no better partner in a battle than a sword." - While she loves swords, the like itself actually comes from the bleed over from her Spirit Ally that empowers her Fullbring. It is one of the delights of the long past Samurai's memories that has made itself apart of her due to her resonance with her own spirit powers.
[*] Training: "Whether it is with a superior or a squad of those beneath me, honing of strength is ideal." - Similar to her love of fighting, but different as training is the activity that she loves to pass the time with in between fights so she might gain more power. It also follows her believes of keeping strong to survive, so that she might protect the natural order as a powerful shaman.
[*] Family: "Blood is thicker than water. When your friends turn on you, and your comrades fall, your family will always have your back." - She never had much of a family, but even after her abduction and training by Xcution, her grandparents still enjoy her visits to this day. They have often assisted her in her own development when she would seek them out for answers over her phone calls and letters home. She hopes, one day, she might build a family of her own and bear children to be the next age of Shamans after her time is past its prime.
[*] Metal Music: "Sometimes I like to cut loose and let it feed my rage." - Achana is a bit of a metal head and enjoys putting in some wireless earbuds with some jamming music to help her channel her energy into anger, either during training or a fight she doesn't intend to take too seriously.
[*] Revenge: "Nothing could taste sweeter than righting the wrongs and settling the score." - Achana holds true to one proverb she was taught at a young age; 'And so the assailed will say to their assailant; "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven."' It was a proverb of honor, but also a message on making sure that those who foolishly hurt you and didn't kill you paid the price for their sins.
[*] Wealth: "Wanting for naught and thriving on excess is truly how the strong deserve to live." - Who doesn't want the good life? Fast cars, expensive clothes, and good food? All the pleasures of this mortal world that can be purchased with money. They say that it can't buy happiness, but whoever they were must never had had enough money to get happy.
Flaws:
[*] Realistic to the point of Nialhism. - Some might see it as defeatist, but she views herself as a realist. This sense of speaking the truth of the matter and not giving into hopeful optimism without a guaranteed outcome seems like a waste of energy to her. This can often deflate those around her and make it hard for her to make friends.
[*] Dismissive of those she sees as inferior. - Another trait that makes it hard for her to make friends, as she often feels that if somebody is beneath her in terms of status, then much time should not be wasted on them. It falls into her whole mind-set of the weak taking from the strong, and in that case making her weaker for the effort she might have to extend to elevate a person to her 'level', so to speak.
[*] Laments fighting when her forces outnumber the enemy. - It is far from honorable to outnumber a foe and defeat them sheerly due to the size of force as it stands. This often kills the thrill of the fight to her, sometimes to the point where she will refuse to fight unless given an order by a direct superior to do so, and even if ordered to fight, she will usually give it less than her full effort until things either resolve or even-out.
[*] Aloof - She's a cool and distant, levelheaded individual. She often would rather spend time alone with her thoughts than spend it with others. When speaking with people, she can often sound short with them, or annoyed, even if such is not true. Having been the subject of bullying and harsh training all her life, it is just one of those defense mechanisms she developed in her personality to keep herself from getting hurt emotionally.
[*] Manic-Depressive - Achana suffers from the mental condition known as Bi-Polar Disorder. She sees a human world doctor approved by Xcution and takes medication to help control her more self-destructive urges. It is a darkness in her soul that she does not particularly care to discuss with others, and even keeps it a secret, though anyone with higher rank than her would have access to her dossier in Xcution and know this information.
Habits:
[*] Smokes cigarettes - Achana is a smoker, and enjoys sitting on a rooftop in the night, all alone, just her and a pack of smokes with some heavy metal music to listen to. She will often smoke, even in combat if she doesn't feel like taking it seriously, or if it's a sparring match.
[*] Smiles when she is lying - She has trouble concealing herself when she is lying to somebody. She smiles, in varying degrees, when she isn't telling the truth depending on how big of a lie she is telling. Those who know her well know she doesn't normally smile, and it is often a give-away to them that she isn't being entirely honest.
[*] Eats with chopsticks - Abhors western cutlery, and will carry a pair of chopsticks, which she will use over a spoon, foor, or the worst... a spork. She prefers to keep things traditional and to not lose sight of some of the things that make Japan great.
[*] Reads Ero-Manga in Public - Being cold and distant means she hasn't much of a love-life to speak of. Achana is not really embarrassed and will often be caught reading something raunchy and lewd in broad daylight. She is the type of person who might read Fifty Shades of Grey at the dinner table and not even mind or show even the slightest bit of remorse for doing so.
[*] Prays to her Guardian Spirit before a fight - She will always say a prayer to her ancestor, Hida Sonozaki, before entering combat. As a Shinto-based Shaman, she feels that unless she pays the proper respect and tribute to her spirit, then her Oversoul [or Fullbring as it is known by the general public.] will be compromised.
Fears:
[*] Failure : "If I fail in my duty, then I should be punished. There is no greater shame." - Achana does not like to think of the idea of failing a task or challenge she has been assigned. Failure, as a child, was met with swift punishment from regular beatings to harsh lectures. She dreads the feeling of shame and disappointment she would be forced to feel if she had to face a superior after providing a report of unsatisfactory results.
[*] Hell : "The unworthy and dishonorable are damned. I will not walk that ground when I die. I mustn't." - A rational fear of anyone aware of the spirit realm. Achana believes she is an honorable soul worthy of crossing over to the Soul Society, or Heaven as she calls it. Only the shameful and dishonorable souls of the wicked are deserving of such a fate. To end up there would prove that she was anything but the person she strove to be.
[*] Spiders : "Few things in life make my spine crawl, and they are one of them. Everything about them is vile." - Everything from the spinning of webs, to the capture and draining of their prey inspires a sense of dread about her. Those with spider-themed power sets are truly fearsome enemies for her to confront, and one she would do so with the utmost prejudice.
[*] Drowning : "No death could be more horrifying and slow than realizing you're being suffocated by the very element of life." - Aside from being a dishonorable way to die, in her opinion. It is also the element of life in reference to a Shaman and the natural elements are revered among the devout to nature. The irony of being killed by the life element is truly terrifying to her as a Shaman.
[*] Tidal Waves : "They've devastated my family in the past, and there's no stopping this juggernaut of nature." - Paired with her fear of drowning, and these forces of nature are something to be feared. They are also the cause of death assigned to her parents. So all through her childhood she dreaded tsunamis and large waves when she went to the beach.
Goals:
[*] Become a high-ranking member of Xcution - The thought process behind this ambition is simple. The higher up she goes in rank, the fewer people she has to answer to and the number of people she needs to excel over and impress is much smaller.
[*] Defeat a Shinigami Captain - Either in a sparring match or a honest to goodness fight. The whole reason for this desire is to prove that Shaman are still the masters over spirits, even the strongest among them.
[*] Master her Fullbring - To become complete with her Oversoul and master the form is the sign of a true shaman master. Few in history had ever achieved this status, at least as it was known among the spiritualists like the Onmiyoji and other types of spirit callers.
[*] To Acquire a Rival - There is nothing more healthy to one's growth than a peer to push them to their limits. It could be a friendly rival or a bitter archenemy. Either way, the result would be the same; An iron to sharpen iron, and eventually make her strength beyond that of steel.
[*] To Acquire an Apprentice - It is her duty to pass on the spiritual arts as a shaman to the next generation. Even if she is not the best at making friends, Achana still wants a student to train and help build back up the number of shaman in the world.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Overall Personality:
Achana Sonozaki's overall personality could be summarized by three points. She was an honor bound, devout, and aloof student of the spiritual arts of Shinto. She was taught about the balance of all things in life, death, and beyond from an early age. It was these tenants of honor and respect that shaped her and taught her how to conduct herself in the world. However, it was her stand-offish nature that provided her perspective, jaded but it was a part of her world view.
Achana does not really like any spiritual being, be they Soul Reaper or otherwise. Good and evil made no difference to her, only the balance of nature and maintaining the Earth. Even humanity seems to get in the way of things, which leads to her having an overall contemptuous nature to those who seek technology and expansion at the sacrifice of nature. Her attitude and behavior might lead her to eco-terroristic tendencies against those corporations who defile the land and harm the spirits there.
Her training under her grandparents, along with her view of big corporations building dams, roads, and other projects of urbanization that destroyed nature in the interest of human progress only infuriated her as she knew it upset the natural balance between Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld. Not only that, but it was giving certain spirits of earth fewer and fewer places to call home. It also uprooted the lives of small villages were the spiritually respectful traditions of old were upkept. This overdevelopment of the planet and the way humanity abuses its position as the apex predator only fuels her drive to undermine some of those development efforts.
While Achana may not necessarily be a hateful soul, she is certainly cold and abrasive at times. She would rather give those optimistic souls around her a nice cold glass of reality. This can often come into a nialhistic tone, but far from defeatist. It is only ever in her interest to step up and prove that the natural order should be the way that is preserved. Not Shinigami and their konso, and certainly not Hollow and their devouring jaws... She believes that souls that do not cross over to the Soul Society should work out their unfinished business with the aid of a Shaman, not another spirit pretending to be divine.
Her training in Xcution put the finishing touches on her personality. She found that those of the group were more comrades-in-arms and less friends, and even further from family. Still, they were giving her a place to truly develop her skills as a Shaman and the directives she was assigned to only served her interest in keeping the unaware parts of humanity in check. Still, if anyone came to her expecting a shining beacon of hope or a hero to save the day, they would not find it in Achana. They would find the resolute warrior who stood not for good and evil, but for the natural law and order of the planet, both spiritual and physical. If either the spiritual world or the physical world itself did not change course, as she saw it, there was no hope. The utter destruction and collapse of everything was inevitable, and the world as they knew it was just circling the proverbial drain,. Fighting the inevitable was the status quo. If things were ever going to get better, it was going to take the actions of the true and the bold. Not those preoccupied with the morality of good and evil.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Powers-
Fighting Style: Achana's fighting style could be something akin to a spell-blade mixed with the mystical arts of Shinto spiritual purification. She fights using the spirit of her ancestor inside of the sword she carries as a guide, often relying on the ancient wisdom and honed sword skills, which she channels through her body as a medium via her fullbring to combat truly difficult foes. Of course, the details on this expand depending on how much of her fullbring she must call upon.
When drawing in the power of her Fullbring, initially, Achana brings the initial strength of her Oversoul into play. Shamanic magics allow her to channel the power and memories of her ancestor stored in the legendary sword to enhance her reaction timing and speed to combat enemies in close range with the prowess of a samurai that has witnessed countless battles over the centuries. This shamanic technique allows her to compete with spirits, like Soul Reapers, who live for lengthy periods of time and have had many of her lifetimes to perfect Zanjutsu skills, which without her Oversoul, she'd likely be no match for.
Though she fights with cold, relentless abandon, she will always focus on targets who express the most corruption and are in need of purification. This could be Hollow and Arrancar or beings with an incredibly dark aura about their souls. This method of target selection is especially true when it comes to her forces outnumbering an enemy, as Achana is likely to challenge the most corrupt target to a one-on-one duel in an honorable fashion.
When it comes to ranged opponents, she draws on her knowledge of Fullbringer skills and ingenuity to pull her through. Closing the gaps with techniques like Bringer Light and even resorting to spirit pyres from her sword if she is forced to unleash her fullbring to that second, and most pure stage. Still, it would take a lot of spirit energy to keep up in a ranged exchange and would be completely out of her element. Until, of course, her secondary Fullbring is brought into play.
When Achana uses Oversoul: Spirit Caller by channeling the power of the Sonozaki Magatama, she gains a more potent manifestation for ranged combat. The Oni masks can be used as ranged strikers as they fly at the enemy on command and can even spit out balls of purifying spirit fire. Still, this is used to level the playing field against those who use Kidou or even worse, purely ranged weapons and have the speed to continually break melee from herself to avoid the more potent Oversoul : Hida Sonozaki.
Main Fullbring Appearances:
The first stages of Achana's Fullbring, is awakening the soul inside of the sword-hilt to extend it out to thirty-inches in length with a shiny, freshly forged appearance. It is in this initial state that the weapon soul allows the blade not just to be dangerous to the physical but also damage the spiritual.
Achana's primary Fullbring appearance is her sword which outside of seeming to be an ordinary man-made blade, actually glows with magic runes along the edge when charged with reiatsu and the soul inside of it channeled. Her eyes shift a violet hue while channeling the blade's soul. The glowing purple seals are Shinto purification sigils and assist Achana with channeling the soul of her ancestor through her. The sword's name, "Murasaki no-Hi" [Purple Flames], becomes apparent as it seems to burn bright with the purifying power that lights up the magical seals along its edge.
Upon reaching a complete state, the Fullbring emits purple spirit-flames from the blade's edge and from the tattoos on her ankles. The sword itself even grows a foot in length and the blade becomes larger in width, becoming the size of a great sword, but with no change in weight to Achana, which allows her to wield it in one-hand, or apply two-hands if needed to add more power to the strikes in classic fashion to the weapon dimensions. These purifying flames are particularly dangerous to the supernatural.
Main Fullbring Name: Oversoul: Hida Sonozaki
Main Fullbring Level 1 Property:
"Purify" - The single one-word that activates the primary ability of Achana's Oversoul Fullbring. This opens her own soul to the memories latent in her ancestor's blade and allows her to use it to not only harm spirits, but to cause intense burning pain on Hollow and Arrancar it comes in contact with. The pure spirit pyre flames that radiate in the metal of the weapon and energy that flows from it mean that even touching it is enough to cause the corrupt to feel searing pain eating away at them like a fire. This is intensified if the blade is to cut, causing the corrupt soul's spirit energy to burn away as the fire consumes their soul and releases it back into the cycle. This is due to not only the protective power of her mother being passed down to her, but also the will of her ancestor to burn away all corruption and to see a world full of beauty.
- Those with 100 Light Aura damaged by this blade suffer a reiatsu leak of 2% of their reiatsu per post until the injury is healed. - This ability has no effect on those with x2 Achana's Offensive Stat
- Those with 75 or more Light Aura damaged by this blade suffer a reiatsu leak of 3% of their Reiatsu per post until the injury is healed. - This ability has no effect on those with x3 Achana's Offensive Stat.
- Those with 50 or Less Dark Aura damaged by this blade suffer a reiatsu leak of 4% of their Reiatsu per post until the injury is healed. - This ability has no offect on those with x2 Achana's Offensive Stat.
- Those with 75 or More Dark Aura damaged by this blade suffer a reiatsu leak of 5% of their Reiatsu per post until the injury is healed. - This ability has no effect on those with x3 Achana's Offensive Stat.
- Those with 100 Dark Aura damaged by this blade suffer a reiatsu leak of 6% of their Reiatsu per post until the injury is healed. - This ability has no effect on those with x3 Achana's Offensive Stat.
Main Fullbring Level 2 Properties:
Upon reaching it's complete form, Achana's Oversoul becomes a lethal instrument to the impure and unjust. The spirit flames that come from the blade spread through her form from the various spiritual tattoos on her body. The blades purifying purple flames now can inflict additional properties based on how Achana wills them. - She applies one property each time her blade manages to cut her opponent.
1.: "Weaken the Wicked..." : Those currently suffering a reiatsu leak from her purple flames will feel the weight of their corruption dampening their spirit power. This feeling is due to the sudden consumption of their spirit energy by the purifying flames. The power of darkness being illuminated on the inside of their soul can leave the target feeling liberated and free of sins as their soul is cleansed temporarily. This reduces their Strength by Achana's Strength for 2 Posts and is treated as a Long Term Stat Adjustment. - This has no effect if the target's Reiatsu Strength is x3 Achana's Offensive Stat. - In addition, this effect cannot be stacked, the duration extends by +1 post if applied to a target already suffering from it. - 100 REIATSU PER USE
2.: "Speak no Evil..." : With this phrase, while a target is suffering from the Reiatsu Leak of her purple flames, Achana can Silence the wicked soul by making it so they cannot open their mouth. Those silenced in this way will find that speech is impossible outside of muffled grunts, which makes incantations for kidou, and techniques with a spoken component impossible unless the user is able to perform them without incantations or via somatic gestures like sign language. This does not prevent a person from releasing a zanpakuto or the like, but it makes it impossible for them to announce their release audibly as they cannot speak. This effect lasts for 3 Posts, but can be overcome if their Reiatsu Strength is x3 Achana's Offensive Stat. - 50 REIATSU PER USE
3.: "Purge Corruption..." : Achana can use this phrase to cause all of her purple flames latent in an enemy to ignite in one bright flash instead of the slow burn from the Reiatsu Leak. This flare of energy is extremely painful and can bring even the most resolute warriors of darkness and corruption to their knees as it feels like their very core is ignited. This removes the Reiatsu Leak from the target, but instead they lose Reiatsu equal to 10% of their Maximum Reiatsu +1% for each additional wound they were suffering from at the time this was activated. A target can only be subjected to this rapid burn once per combat. - 250 REIATSU PER USE
Secondary Fullbring Appearances:
Achana's secondary Fullbring is a manifestation of her Oversoul with Hida Sonozaki, known as Oversoul: Spirit Caller. By combining the history of an ancient shamanic necklace with magatama carved from the shards of shattered hollow masks with the power of her ancestor's spirit memory from her blade, Achana manifests two oni masks filled with purple spirit-fire.
Secondary Fullbring Properties:
1.: "Spirit Pyre Ball" - The Oni Masks can fire off violet spirit pyres in the shapes of laughing skulls. On impact explodes with force equal to the user’s Reiatsu Strength. This inflicts the "Purify" effect of the Primary Fullbring. A target is immune to the secondary effect if their Offensive Stat is x3 Achana's. - 50 REIATSU PER USE
2.: "Consume Corruption" - The Oni Masks can draw out the power of purple fire from a person suffering from them and consume them, restoring a portion of Achana's Reiatsu in the process equal to 5% of the target's Reiatsu, and ending the purple fire Reiatsu Bleed from that injury. This does not heal the damage from the injury. - The Reiatsu Drained in this way goes into a Pool called Mana which is Reiatsu that must be spent on Fullbringer Techniques. Mana is lost if it is not spent within two posts of it being drained. - Altnernatively, Achana can choose to lose the mana as a cinematic effect, creating a harmless shikigami or ghost which flees off into the world to go find a place in nature to call home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-History-
Birthplace: Achana was born in Towada of the Aomori Prefecture in Japan.
Current Residence: A personal apartment in Karakura Town, Japan
Memorable Figures: Nozomi Sonozaki [Mother], Yuichi Sonozaki [Father]
History:
Birth:
It was a cold and stormy night in the back roads to the Sonozaki Shrine from the town of Towada. Two figures were in a small car, the grey Toyota splashing through the latent water on the road. The two returning in the car were Nozomi and Yuichi, a brand-new mother and father couple who held precious cargo in the child seat in the back. They were returning from the hospital with infant Achana, the future heiress to the shrine of the family's kami spirit, Amaterasu.
There was a flash of lightning, and for a moment, Nozomi swore she saw the outline of a wicked grinning mask. Not enough time was given to double-take before the car suddenly flipped forward as if something had stepped on the hood suddenly and then a clawed hand slammed forward smashing the car to the side into the cliff-edge that was on one side of the road. Nozomi and Yuichi were killed instantly from the trauma, as well as the fact the clawed hand had left them each with a mortal wound, which would have left the pair in the agony of bleeding out had the beast not made quick work of their souls.
Then, just as soon as it had arrived and it had left, leaving infant Achana Sonozaki alone, upside down in the wrecked car to be rescued by emergency services not long after. The child was found wearing a magatama necklace, and the spiritual artifact was likely the thing that had saved her life. A gift from her mother, but that was not all, as the power of Fullbring was now passed down as well. The power of a mother's love was one that created a bond that would continue to echo throughout her soul. The cause of the accident, however, was ruled to have been a rogue tidal wave that had washed ashore and over the road. It was the only way the normal humans could explain the damage to the road caused by the Hollow, as well as the way the car had wrecked.
Childhood:
Achana was raised by her grandmother and grandfather at the family shrine. While her parents had been caught unaware by the Hollow, the elders were more proficient in the spiritual arts. It was from a young age she was able to see spirits, and so she was trained in the Shinto-Shamanic arts of the Shrine Maidens as was tradition for those in the family with spiritual awareness. Of course, this was not without social ramifications. Claiming to see spirits and being known as a Shinto Priestess in Training did not make many friends growing up, in fact, it led to her being called 'weird' and 'crazy'. So, she grew cold, and hard. Life had taken away her parents and she would never know what it meant to feel her mother's embrace, or to be scolded by her father. Society refused to befriend her, and so she continued on, relying only on herself as she underwent her grandparent's strict lessons at home, in the shrine.
Upon reaching the age of ten years old, Achana first met her guardian spirit, Hida Sonozaki. While she was cleaning the relics on display in the shrine. She had finished polishing the ancient sword "Murasaki-no-Hi", that had been passed down her family line for generations, when a man in armor approached her in a vision. She had unknowingly resonated with the blade, and even worse it was one of the sacred heirlooms of the family. It was upon realizing the vision was the start of a Shamanic Communion with the spirit of the weapon, a fact she had learned in her training, that she began to visit the relics in the shrine and spend time with the blade. This pass time was not unnoticed by her caretakers.
Teen Years -> Present:
As she went through school, making marks enough to go to High School, Achana grew in her power with spirits. She had gotten to the point where she could talk to them, and even counsel them in shamanic fashion to help them move on to the spirit world, or unknown to her, the Soul Society. It was during this time she had been detected and spotted by the group, Xcution, while she spent time in the city practicing her arts as a spiritual medium to send spirits on their way. The fact she was spiritually aware had made her a target of the group for potential recruitment.
It was one night, at the shrine, she awoke to a terrible crashing sound. The trees were shaking violently, and the wind howled. She had figured it must have been the start of a bad storm, so Achana rushed about, securing things in the shrine. However, when she reached the relic room of the shrine, the front of it almost exploded from the impact as a masked creature now stood in her way back out. 'A sweet treat, and out of bed~. Kekekeke... Guess I'll take your soul instead.', the Hollow cackled. It was approaching her now. But there were many questions flooding through her head. Like what did it mean 'instead'? Who else could this demon be here for? Then there was a flash and the Hollow stood stunned for a moment before its mask split and it dissolved.
A man in the business suit, smoking a cigarette stood before her as it was clear by the silver sword in his hand that reverted to an inverted pentagram necklace was likely the Hollow's target. "I suppose keeping an eye on you, Miss Sonozaki, is more difficult than it would appear.", he said before brushing his blonde hair backward and putting on a fedora. "I think now is the time to welcome you to your Xcution...", he said before she had time to offer question. He simply grinned wide, his pearly white teeth illuminated by the moonlight.
The whole situation put Achana on edge. People were watching her, and they wanted to execute her? Were they from the government? Did they know what she could do? She instead grabbed the relic blade of her ancestor and drew it on the man. "I don't know who you are, but you need to leave now.", she stated harshly. Though her bravado was interrupted as the relic katana began to resonate with her enhanced spiritual presence. Her eyes turned a violet hue, and she could feel her body recoil into a stance she had never practiced. She had begun unlocking her Fullbring, and she did not even know it. However, she did not have much time to use it before the mysterious agent leaped forward with the speed of Bringer Light and knocked her unconscious. "Hnnn...Such a pain, these new prospects.", she grumbled as he picked up the unconscious girl and her sword and then casually bounced off on skips of Bringer Light.
- It had been a few years since that day -
Now, Achana has completed her training under Xcution and went through her trial processes to become a proper warrior for the cause. Still, she had no family. Her friends? More like fellow soldiers in the spiritual fight. It seemed like destiny had been shaped from the start to turn her into one of humanity's last shaman warriors. With the memories of Hida Sonozaki to guide her on the path of the warrior honorably, she had nothing less to lose and everything to gain as she went on into the future to face a path of keeping humanity safe and purifying corruption latent and growing in the spirits that have begun increasingly invading the area.
