Character Name: Sora Ikushima
Character Canon: Tokyo Xanadu EX+
Canon Point: Post afterstory
Age:16
Crime: Vandalism - For all the boxes and walls she's destroyed in the Eclipse labyrinths.
Background: Wiki link
Story takes place in 2015, in a fictional area of Tokyo called Morimiya.
-Teen raised by parents at her family dojo in the country
-Father sends her to the city because 'seeing the world is an important part of being a karate master'. They're paying her rent and sending her an allowance while she lives alone and goes school.
-Her seniors in the karate club like her, but start getting antsy when they notice her overtaking them.
-This leads to a monster (Greed) latching onto them and dragging her senior into a labyrinth. Sora's feelings of wanting to make things right lead to her manifesting a Soul Device. So she can go into the labyrinth and fight the monsters.
-She ends up joining the main characters, consisting of an older childhood friend who she thinks of as a big brother and another older girl. Learns about multiple underground organizations that handle the Eclipse and Greeds.
-They work together trying to find out why more and more Greeds are appearing and manage to recruit: a millionaire teenage hacker, a former gang leader whose now a chef, the student council president whose also the princess of one of the underground organizations, an idol singer.
-As they go, they discover that the current incidents are related to 'The Tokyo Twilight Disaster'. A major earthquake that happened 10 years prior and killed tens of thousands of people.
-It turns out it was all caused by a major Greed that seems to be reforming.
-EXCEPT it's not and monsters start roaming the streets and attacking people.
-That's because Greed latched onto and merged with one of their classmates, who died during the earthquake 10 years before the game.
- When the Greed is killed, the friend fades from existence and everyone but the Eclipse-aware cast forgets them.
-A god decides the group has been through enough. It gives them a challenge and if they succeed it'll revive their friend.
-OPPS it also revived the Greed.
-but this time it is separate and can be killed.
-And then they went to a Halloween party.
Personality:
- Cheerful and optimistic. Perhaps the most obvious trait of Sora's is that she's really happy-go-lucky and almost always smiling. It doesn't matter who she's talking to, local delinquent who everyone else is afraid of? She's smiling and wishing him good morning. But she's also the type of person who gets up at 5am to go for a jog and volunteers to help with odd jobs if she notices someone struggling. In bad situations she might have a moment of crying, but she's quick to crack her knuckles, recover and declare she has everyone's backs. There are only two times in the whole game where she gets angry. Once when they meet a guy whose yelling and rude to his sister, who Sora decides they’re going to make him apologies. The other time involves when her and a friend get threatened by a gang of thugs who…make some not very pleasant threats. Even then Sora very politely gives them a ‘please stand aside.’
- Reckless ...Unfortunately, she doesn't tend to think things through. Because she's that optimistic that she thinks things will just turn out alright in the end. So there’s several moments where she notices someone getting sucked into an Eclipse labyrinth and runs into to help on her own if needed… Fortunately, someone else appears both times to make sure nothing bad happens. But she did attempt to fight the golem monster many times her size before getting her powers. A part of this is because of the Ikushima family style of karate creed, that strength should be used to protect overs. So Sora tends to put others’ safety before her own.
-Naïve. The ‘things will turn out okay’ mentality also appears in other situations. The largest of which being a conflict Sora has with one of her senpai from karate club, Chiaki. Iniatily, when Sora first arrives in the city Chiaki takes her under her wing. Showing her around, where to eat and just hanging out with this country bumpkin. They quickly become close friends… Then Chiaki realises that Sora might not be better at karate than she is now, but she’s rapidly catching up. Then Chiaki starts to get jealous, she’s aware of this and tries to hide from Sora because she can’t stop herself from lashing out. Sora doesn’t get it and repeatedly tries to follow Chiaki, apologising and asking what she’d done wrong. Which only makes Chiaki feel even guiltier. Because Chiaki is aware that Sora hasn’t actually done anything wrong and she needs to sort her feelings out. But Sora keeps saying sorry to try and fix it so they can back to normal.
- Unsure – Despite all her cheer, Sora is very uncertain about her future. To some degree, she feels like she’s not improving and she’s close to ‘hitting a wall’. Though she doesn’t give up and she is willing to talk about it, but she comes to the realisation that she’s just assumed she’d take over the family dojo at some point. That she had to do karate. It’s this realisation that makes her think about her motivation and if there’s anything else she’d like to do. Which leads to her trying skateboarding, something she enjoyed. Making her realise there’s so many things she’s not tried. At that point she vows to start trying new things but she wants to continue martial arts. Because she wants to be able to keep fighting Greeds and defend those that can’t defend themselves… Like this stray kitten she just found. Sora can’t take them in because her apartment doesn’t allow pets, but as a part of her vow to protect, she can find them a nice home!
Oh, and she’s a busy body when it comes to romance. Pointing out to people how close they seem, asking for more in. Then backpedalling the moment they turn the question back on her.
Abilities:
Soul Device - Valiant Arm - A Soul Device is a manifestation of someone's soul and willpower. Sora's takes the form of a pair of gauntlets that make strengthen her body, making her punches and kicks hit harder. It's type is wind and steel, the steel is the strengthening part. The wind aspect allows her to maneuver herself around in the air and generate electricity that she can unleash in her punches. (look types are weird in this series. For some reason 'wind' is wind and electric, 'steel' is techy-things, earth and metal'). Characters can also fit small orbs called Elements into their devices and visit craftsmen who can enhance them. However she probably won't be able to get the materials or see the people who can do that here so I'll save myself and the mods from this bs 1, 2,
Karate - She's spent her whole life training and reaches the quarterfinals in that year's nationals.
Inventory:
-Her winter school uniform
-Red sneakers
Samples:
TDM thread - Kurt
ling yao
Questions: I changed canon points between writing my TDM and app. Sora's personality doesn't change over this time but it means a few details are different (like her birthday passing). She's also got the thickest county accent when she gets flustered...but that shows up once the whole game.
