Personality

• Personality:
Shani's personality is influenced by her usage of death's energy, thus causing it to vastly change when she is in her merge state. Their are times when these two personalities may mix together, causing a third personality, one which contains traits from both, to appear. Which traits are in the third personality is not constant, and changes depending on what type of situation the third personality appears in.

Regular Personality:

• Always Serious: Never joking, never playing, she is eternally serious in everything she does.
  
• Emotionless: While she seems emotionless, she just has extreme control over her own emotions, making it very difficult to anger or upset her.
  
• Killer: When fighting someone she has no problem killing them. She is not bothered by death, and always attempts to kill her opponent as quickly as possible.
  

Merge Personality:

• Childish: Though she has physically and mentally developed faster then is normal during the first 8 years of her life, when she enters her merge state her personality goes to that of someone of her real age. This results in her acting more like a teenager then the adult she appears to be.
  
• Fun loving: She hates doing anything she does not enjoy, making it hard to get her to do certain things.
  
• Battle lover: She loves fighting, especially with swords. She gets this euphoric feeling as two swords clash, and just holding one makes her happy.
  
• easily upset or angered: It takes only a small amount of teasing or foul words to get her to react, though her reaction is not constant. She will sometimes get extremely angry, attacking the offender. Other times she will start crying and run away, most likely to someone she is attached to.

Human Traits

• Human Capacities:

• can see spirits
  
• Extreme strength: like her father Shani has worked to push her physical body to inhuman levels of strength. She has not made it anywhere near the heights her father has, due to her much younger age and slowed down recently by the fact she has been training to control the connection to death's energy she has. Despite this she is still much stronger then most humans.
  
• Natural Sword user: From a young age Shani had an affinity for bladed weapons, quickly mastering the usage of swords as a weapon. It is rare that she is found without a sword of some sort, she often feels a need to hold one.
  

• Equipment/Weapons:

Deathblade: She never goes anywhere without her sword, one she forged by hand when she was nine years old. It is a katana, the handle covered in black leather, the guard shaped in to an oval and looks similar in color to gold. The blade is the finest steel, but the color has changed to black since its creation. This does not affect the blade, in fact this is a result of her death energy, which the sword can act as a conductor for, allowing her to treat it as if it were part of her body when using death energy abilities.

Demon Heritage

DE Class:

DE Powers:

Semi-Immortal: Due to her death energy her aging process fluctuated greatly during her early years when she had no control of it. Having now learned to control her death energy she has stopped aging, and can no longer die of old age.

Age loop regeneration: Using her control of aging, Shani can reverse damage done to her body. She cannot effect more then one fifth of her body at the same time, and the areas this ability is used on are left extremely sensitive and painful for a few posts afterwards, depending on how much she regenerated.

Sword of light and shadow - darkened edge: Shani empowers her sword with her death energy as she attacks, using it to break down the opponent at a cellular level when she cuts them. This only happens while the sword is in contact with her opponent though, which can make for fairly little damage some times.


DE Merge Appearance:

When she activates her DE Merge, her body is surrounded by a black orb, which then shatters, revealing her body to have transformed in to the above. Her appearance has changed over time, it originally looked more like a dead being, but she hated how it looked. Over time her hatred has caused it to change to the current appearance.

DE Merge Powers:
Calling of the Light and Shadows: When she uses this ability, an exact duplicate of her sword forms in her hand, the same down to every last detail. These copies disappear when she leaves her merge state.

Sword of Light and shadow - poisoned edge: she imbues the blade she is holding with her death energy, forming it in to a toxin which infects the body. When she cuts someone while using this ability, the toxin gathers in their body, gathering additional death energy from any nearby source. At any point after activating this ability she can release it, causing all the gathered death energy that is dormant in the bodies she has cut to break them down from the inside.

Berserker State

Berserk State Appearance:


Berserk Enhancements:

• Extreme Strength boost
  
• Extreme Durability boost
  

Berserk Details:
When Shani enters her berserk state, she transforms in to the form she wish she could get rid of. It is four times as big as she is and genderless. When in berserk state she looses all rational thought process though, going on a rampage of anger and hatred. Her first target is always the person who damaged her to such an extent, and unless she cannot see said person she will not switch targets until they are killed. After she has either killed her target or they are out of sight, her Berserk state will last a little while longer, at which time anyone who attempts to attack her will become a new target for her, though her berserk state will still end as if she had not found this target.

Background History

• Background:

Birth and early life

Shani was born late in the summer to Mifune Soan and Katana Broadshield. It quickly became clear that she was not your average child, as her growth rate changed rapidly, going from no growth in six months at one point to 2 years growth in three months at other times. She also displayed a great desire for swords, knives, and other bladed items, starting when she was three years old. Despite this and some of the strange events that happened around her, her parents showed their love for her. Mifune always doting on her, and not scolding her when she took one of his swords, instead teaching her how to wield such a weapon. Katana always working to mold her daughter's personality, but doing so in a way that Shani understood she meant well, allowing her to make more of an impact.

Teen era, first rampage, and the beginning of death energy training

As Shani approached her seventh birthday she started to enter her teenage years, a time often marked by rebellion in regular children. It was the same with Shani, though for her this would have dire consequences. She started with forging swords, an action she had been forbidden to do by her mother. Soon afterwards she started to smoke, breaking a rule her father had set for her. Things between her and her parents became strained, and she started to stay out later and later as time went on. Then when she was three months from celebrating her tenth birthday, the final act of rebellion happened.

Unbeknownst to her parents, Shani had been seeing a boyfriend for the last six months. She was physically and mentally at the age of seventeen, and the boy had no idea of her true age. She had kept out of the house since she wanted to keep him away from her parents, and her parents had not yet caught on. One night when she was closing in on her tenth birthday, having learned that her parents would be away for the night, she chose to daringly take her boyfriend to her home. It was unfortunate for her that her parents had decided to end the night early and return home. Their timing could not have been worse for Shani, her father and mother walking through the door just as she and her boyfriend prepared to make out.

What happened next was a blur to Shani, she looked up to see a blade sticking through the young man's back, her mother standing above it. Then, the emotions poured over her, anguish, rage, fury, despair. In this emotional state, she started transforming, growing in size as the red scales covered her body, the horns replacing her hair, her breasts shrinking as the wings grew on her back. Then, with all her hatred and anger, as it was all her mind could handle, she turned to Katana Broadshield, with one thought going through her mind. Kill.

Then she attacked, bringing all of her strength in order to destroy those who had created her. Her physical strength was immense, combining the training she had received when her father taught her swordplay with the fact her figure was now four times bigger then usual. She was not used to fighting with her bare hands, much less in this over sized form though, and she would not have even been a match for her mother alone, she had no chance against her mother and father, both of which stood before her.

As her first punch swung downward towards her mother she was already not there. As Shani's fist hit the floor, sending the rest of the house, those parts that had not been destroyed by her sudden growth, falling to the floor in a wreck, her father was already in action. As she tried to find her mother again, her parents worked to subdue her, making non lethal attacks on her body, using her huge bulk to hide themselves from her eyes. As she roared in pain from their attacks, she fell, sending a cloud of dust in to the air. For a few more minutes anguished growls could be heard coming from the large bulk. Then, the growling turned to crying as the figure shrunk, Shani returned to her usual self, a large number of small cuts on her body, sobbing hysterically.

After this, her mother, now knowing that her daughter had inherited the ability to wield death energy, started teaching her how to control it. It took a while for her to gain basic control of it, but her mother never relaxed the training, and her positive attitude gave Shani the hope to continue with it. Her training continued until Shani had control over her powers and her mother was confident she wouldn't lose control again. Even afterwards, Shani decided to continue the training, combining it with the sword skills her father had taught her.
