She stands 5'6, has a well toned body but nothing overt and exceptional, and sports long ginger hair and the colour of her eyes behind her glasses are a softer but similar shade to her hair.

» Personality: Calypso is a somewhat gentle soul. She has the persona of Wulin, to honour elders and respect youngers. To treat all humans as your brother and to seek perfection for one’s own self. As most, she believes one's Face can be restored with martial prowess if it is ever lost. But to strike out again mere word and rumor is to confirm them and to show yourself as mentally weak and easily manipulated. Never overpower an inferior opponent for your own ego, never strike against the harmless or the unready, and never provoke a fight that you will obviously win, for the sake of winning it. But should a fight be started with you, put forward all your force to claim victory, so that others think before starting a fight. Wulin has a strange culture of encouraging conflict so you might grow to a point you may prevent conflict.

While self-serving like most Cultivators - a strong emphasis on her own progression and well-being first and foremost - Calypso can still be seen performing entirely selfless acts seemingly for the act's own sake. This comes from the Golden Age, where even the greatest of heroes would seek to improve themselves before anything else, so that they may help a greater number of people with their strength, and has survived to this day. While such concepts are hard to comprehend for the modern person, Calypso lives passionately by them and is entirely unaware that some might see it hypocritical or oxymoronical. A selfish selflessness embodies all the more profound concepts and principles of Wulin.

While principled to a T, Calypso is still a human in her late teens, so there are times when she acts reactively, responses inappropriately, and asks questions that put people in a terrible position. She will most certainly apologise for the problems that stem from this, but that does not stop it from happening in the first place. While not knowing her parents much, she knew of them, and is driven to become worthy of their attention, to stand at the apex of Wulin and ensure that she can be something, someone that is able to command their interest and presence with her very own.


» Likes: Cultivation, Betterment, aiding people, winning

» Dislikes: Deception, Stagnation, a lack of upfront, forethright nature.



» History Calypso was born in spectacular fashion. Her mother, Reana Gandr, was exploring way off the beaten path in search of Golden Age relics. Instead she found a hidden village filled with strange, out-of-touch Cultivators. Her presence was not appreciated, and a fight started. Though, Reana's style caught the man off guard and she took victory from that, waving her right to his life in exchange for a child.

Turns out, these Cultivators are distant blood relatives of Ao Kuang, Dragon King Of The West Sea. This came to light Calypso was four years old and started exhibiting properties of dominant dragon blood in her veins. This put her on a pedistal, and encouraged her to grow into a mighty warrior for Wulin and the Gandr clan. It also meant she had been wearing glasses since she was four as the Eyes of a Dragon are the most potent part of their body. A Dragon can not die until it's eyes are destroyed, and as such, they overwhelm the biology of an inheritor and cause all kinds of screwy issues until brought under control.

This didn't get in the way, however, and Calypso practiced, practiced, and then practiced some more. When she first learned to read, she read about the great Gandr Clansmen before her and techniques to aid her. When she first learned to walk, she walked all across the Gandr estate, every day. And finally, when she was a young child, she began to practice Wudang-An-Han with fervor.

This, along with her Dragon's Blood, ensured that she developed rapidly, becoming a strong Cultivator by the time she was 16, with a firm grasp on Blood Fists and the family art - Taiju Snake Style. And by the time she was 16, she had decided to strike out into the world to find her father. Of course, World War 4 put a hamper on that plan nearly as soon as it began, and she sheltered away from the chaos in a Wulin-owned temple in Tibet.

But, all things come to an end, and she was free once more to seek out her father. She took to Martial Art Contests for money and fame, announcing her desires to find those "Affiliated with Ao Kuang" every time she was interviewed. Crossing the countries and fighting in fight after fight, she gave the same message, which developed her somewhat of a reptuation.

But, tradegy struck. Fighting in a contest, she brought low all contenders then asked for those affiliated with Ao Kuang as always, but one of those she had brought low was a man connected with a very cruel, violent creature. So, while taking in the sights of Karakura and learning some grasp of the language, she was asailed from behind by a man. The blade cut her spinal cord, but more viciously, enacted a Profane Technique: Toppling the Throne. The blade not only cut her spine, but destroyed her meridians and shattered her body.

After being rushed to the hospital, the doctors fixed her spine, but were stumped as to how her muscles had atrophied to such a state in such a short amount of time. Her upper body was like it had been in a coma for a decade, and her lower body had no muscles left at all. A specialist was brought in, who told them her soul was pefectly healthy, but there was something wrong with her 'Morphogenic Field'. Whatever the hell that was....So, it seemed Calypso's joureny was over, before it had had a chance to begin.



» Equipment:



» Skills: Cultivator: A Cultivator of Wulin, Calypso originated from the Gandr Clan, and thus learned Blood Fists. Violent, forthright and powerful, it is a strong and straight forward fighting style that Calypso has a firm grasp of. Additionally she learned Taiju Snake Style and a few noneaffiliated martial art styles to round out her capabilities. This has led her to have a firm body and skilled capabilities in physical arts, acrobatic and martial.

Well-read: Calypso has read numerous grimores, tomes, and esoterica abound. She has a passable grasp of several languages, and is currently debating which Cultivation Technique is right for her.



» Powers: Blood Fists, Five Drop Blood Of Giants.

First Technique – Blade-Deflecting Body: Getting stabbed can ruin your day, regardless of how good a fighter you are. This was the first thing that the Western Druids thought, and so it was the first thing that was remedied, with this technique. Channelling Meln through their body, they are granted a temporary protection against bladed instruments, and so do not risk the loss of life or limb with every moment of a fight against a bladesman.

Second Technique – Armour-Crushing Fist: While those with the Blood of Dragons find little issue punching through the sheets of metal that lesser men adorn themselves with, not everyone can reach such a level, and for those below it, the sheets of metal pose a greater issue to break through and hit the man beneath. So the second technique was created shortly after the first, allowing the Cultivator to channel Meln to their fists, and then punch with great might, smashing through the meagre defences of the lesser creatures, and to smash the man beneath. With this, the legends of an unarmed man felling a fully adorned Knight spread through the lands of Europe.


Sub-Set - Taiju Snake Style:

First Fang - Viper's Dripping Fang: The first technique of Taiju Snake Style, it is as much energy control as it is martial precision, releasing Meln at the point of contact to severely aggravate the nerve cluster of the point that it hits.

Second Fang - Quicksilver Viper's Bite: Charging one's body with Meln, they enter a temporary state of superspeed, lashing out several strikes across the target to spread the 'venom' further and debilitate the target even further than the First Fang is capable of.

Third Fang - Taiju Snake Palm: The Eponymous technique of the style, the open palm and thrusting power behind the blow causes intense pain in the point of contact, even to the point of impacted organs spasming should the blow be landed well enough.






» The Spirit's Name: Hvit
» The Spirit's Race: Inner Hollow
» The Spirit's Gender: Female
» The Spirit's Age: 5

» The Spirit's Written Appearance: With unparalleled control over her personal reality, Hvit has forced the point of her beauty to a point of disturbingly uncanny. As befits a being of condensed and mind-searing pride, Hvit is perfect without flaw or marr, a fact that is not natural to the world and thus makes people feel uncomfortable to look at her.

A tall, 6ft woman with very light blue - practically white - skin and pure snow white hair, she opposes the more famous of her two hosts by being lithe, elegant and graceful, the epitome of a feminine body shape. Her eyes are the most striking part. A glowing sulphur yellow burning with the collective fire of the whole world's passion, a parting gift from her closest friend...

» The Spirit's Pictured Appearance:



» The Spirit's Personality: Having developed surprisingly extensively through her short life, Hvit has a multi-faceted personality which is not entirely evident at first contact. She is incredibly proud, as the crux of the emotion that she was born around is Mirja's often deranged sense of Pride in her own durability and capabilities.

Though, despite that,She has grown into her emotional state, maturing through helping Ulv become who she was meant to be. Opposed from the rival and constant lightly abrasive drive for Mirja to ascend past herself, Ulv required a more motherly approach, so Hvit isn't quite as much of a snooty bitch anymore. This motherly support helps her become close to Calypso, while also securing herself at the command of the two.

She still has a face of undaunted superiority (Showcased most aptly by the fact she has Calypso call her 'M'lady Queen') and will certainly showcase it for anyone who tries to step up to her, but stands separate and above the chittering of chattle. She does not brag or boast, and does not rise to goading or provocation, secure in the knowledge that if she is needed to showcase her superiority, then that will speak a thousand words for her.



» The Spirit's History: Hvit was born from the unyielding darkness within Mirja, a gestation that took mere hours to reach culmination. And the young hollow saw no reason to bide her time, immediately launching into the fray against Mirja. This, was the first time she learned the importance of support, as the fragment-spirit that was Iko became a major component for Mirja's victory.

Crushed at her loss - she was unable to comprehend how she had lost, given she was pride and anger and little else at this point - she was susceptible to Mirja's presence easing the edges of Hvit's sharp persona. They bonded closer than was usual for a Vizard, and the conflict that Mirja went through in her life allowed them to have mutual respect forged in fire.

Eventually, they clashed again, both full of despair and yet understanding how similar each was to the other. They needed to connect, and violence was the only way they could do such. This fight was not interrupted, and it was a fight that Hvit came out the winner in, if only for a few seconds before passing out herself.

This was the herald of a change in relation. From grudging acceptance through need, to a close friendship. This tight relation grew to a point that Hvit, in all her pride and self-interest, aided Mirja's final fatal act fully believing it would be the end of her as well.

Though it was not, and Hvit was reborn in Ulv. A young, new girl who inherited the cataclysm that was her old friend, Hvit took on a warm motherly relation with Ulv to support her through the inheritance from Mirja and ensure that Ulv could handle it. As history tells, Ulv not only handled it but came through with abloom and took the world by storm to become the Inferno Vizard Queen. But, history repeats itself, and the strength of Ulv was not enough to handle the depth of Mirja's scars, so eventually Ulv cracked under the strain, and chose to end herself as her predecessor did.

Unlike last time, Ulv did not allow Hvit to stay with her, and instead, Hvit left before Ulv died. Having been keeping her alive for several months now, Hvit had been given most of Ulv's reiryoku to power the constant regeneration, and as such Hvit was flaring with power and no shortage of passion. Ulv passed away, and Hvit went into the world to find someone who needed her support.

This search brought her to Calypso. A Cultivator - so Hvit would fit right in - crippled to a point of helplessness, Hvit was not going to stand such despair and inserted herself into Calypso. Using her overwhelmingly powerful Will to bind the two together, Calypso was flushed with power and pride, able to walk again. And Hvit had a new friend to get along with.






» Unique Traits:

A Queen's Decree: With absolute control over the seal between the two, Hvit ensures that her and Calypso are connected, though this has it's flaws. The Seal strength equals one rank below Hvit's Willpower, but Hvit can free herself at any moment she desires. This will cripple Calypso instantly until the woman can keep her own body together, but the potential exists.

A Queen's Presence: Too much of anything will make you sick, and Hvit is no exception. The incredible power that the Bear Queen brings to Calypso's body is far too much for her to be able to comprehend, let along grasp and use. As such, Calypso has no capability of using Hvit for anything until she gains considerably more power (3-1 minimum).

Worse than just simply being unable to use it, Hvit's energy often causes Calypso's body to strain and damage itself as the Tao circulates her body. This can cause Calypso to be wracked with coughing fits of phlem and blood, muscle cramps, extreme headaches and other physical aliments. Hvit's presence ensures there is no permanent repercussions from this, but the immense discomfort and pain these fits cause are their own problem.
