In This Life
It's a beautiful day. The weather's cool and sunny. There's a gentle breeze. The streets are busy as usual. The country is peaceful under the benevolent rule of the great ruler, His Majesty, the Emperor Kei. Monsters are kept well outside the city gates. Neighboring cities are mostly at peace with this country, Byakko.
Can things be any better?
There are guilds throughout the city for virtually any occupation one can imagine. There are always something to do in the city, always something fun to join in.
Quite a beautiful place isn't it? Come on, get a life already!

TIPSYNARUTO
Name:
Zhang Yue Fei (Fei is her used name)
Gender:
Female
Age:
22
Race:
Human
Job:
White Tiger Division Lion General Guard (Third Rank officer out of 9 levels)
Appearance:
Fei is one who exudes elegance and grace. She was graced with a tall stature and a fine figure which she is not too shy in flaunting. Similarly, her face is like a work of art, praised by many to be extremely beautiful with the air of nobility, but not as a traditional sense of beauty. People revel in her appearance, but are somewhat intimidated by her air and presence of a warrior and defiance and lack of a humble and soft nature of an aristocratic girl.
Like most of the people that live in Byakka, her hair is a very dark brown, almost black and like most females of ehr class, left very long. Fei's hair when left loose reaches and spools on the floor. Fortunately, Fei has her her done up in a slight ponytail which pulls it up enough to reach just before her ankle.
Fei's clothing are somewhat flamboyant and shows her defiance of following traditional principles. It is a traditional one piece robe design with waist belt, but with a few fundamental difference. It is rich in green and gold with lots of intricate designs embroidered on it. It has a golden collar that runs the edges of her collar all the way down the front of her dress where it crosses. At the shoulder she has a small red hanging items with yellow tassels at the end on each side. The sleeves open up wide past the elbow and has a swirling dragon and cloud design using green with the sleeves bottom edges tinged in orange. The lower "dress" is long, touching the floor. Similar to the sleeves, the dress has a richer green before becoming lighter near the base with a tinge of orange. At the base, there is a light flower pattern design that runs the whole dress.
The most odd thing about the dress is the breast covers/ under bodice. Fei is not afraid to show a bit of skin, as she does often wear her dress with her shoulders bare. However, she does not bare it all or risk it, so she commissioned a bodice that is presentable along with her dress. As a result, it is firm and solid, made with typical green with gold embroidery and covers her breasts. Granted that she is more open, she does not want to shame her family, so her bodice is a back up. When she wears her dress in a way that reveal her shoulder, she does not open up her chest area and is kept closed, only showing her shoulders collarbone area and the nape and the front equivalent.
Around her waist is a chinese cloth belt. It is in two layers. The base is gold with a red edge. It has phoenix embroidery in a deeper yellow colour. At the back, it is longer than the front, reaching her buttocks in a spade V. Underneath it is a long, very dark green piece of clothing that has light green, almost white dragon and cloud design similar to the sleeves. It is long and not too wide with it reaching just below the hem of her dress. It similarly ends in a fat V with a large yellow tassel hanging. Framing the black cloth are three jade bead chain with yellow tassels at the end on each side These reach halfway down her calves. The waist belt on top is a bit more normal, being black and small. It serves to hold the entire dress closed along with the golden belt and the red rope ornament. It is not too wide as the golden belt underneath peaks out at the top and the bottom when looking at her from the front. The red rope ornament is tied around on top of her belts a few times before being tied at the back in a bow with a jade talisman hanging with a red tassel.
Her head ornament is similarly flashy. it consist of a dragon perched on a thin, black, lacquered ornament stand. This sits on a small round golden stand that is held in place as Fei loops her hair into the small cap and out the back with her ponytail and set in place with three long golden pins at the sides, and longer one from the back downwards to the front diagonally down like two horns, one on each sode. Along the back of these two longer pins are three golden tassels which hang from three close separate jewel of emerald, ruby and quartz. Connected to the rear of the cap are several slim golden chains that are used to bundle her hair halfway down her hair, together as to not let it fly around. They are rather long and as a result, the remaining length hang along with her hair, just shorter at the tip of the weighted golden tassels on the end. To top of her extravagant outfit, she has a white scarf draped over her arms and behind her back.
While hardly seen due to her dress, she wears a traditional chinese female shoe that is dark green for primary and white for secondary colour as well as the pompom.
As a female, accessories are a necessary. For her head, her headpiece and pins are enough. Her ears have two golden earrings (minus the black things). On her neck is a jade dragon pendant (10cm) on a golden chain whilst on her wrist, she has a jade bracelet on each hand as wells two other slim golden bracelets plus two jade rings on different fingers on each hand.
When on the job that require her to go a bit less obvious, such as White Tiger Guards job, she would wear a helm with a moveable faceplate. It is a rather open helm, with the top part of her head uncovered for her head ornament. Along the top are metal feathers for decoration. It is green in base with gold as secondary with silver as the round decorations at the ear. The helm covers the side of her head, the ears with two small frames next to her face. A larger round pulge protect her forehead and serves as the slot where the moveable faceplate rest. The faceplate is similar in appearance as the top where it hides. In fact, its made so that it appears as if the top part continues down. It covers down to her lips, making her faceless.
With her always is her 45 cm Kiseru pipe. It's main body, the actual pipe is warm gold while an emerald green jade body in the middle with golden flower swirls. On her waist is her pipe lit, a small waist bag of light brown leather holding the ash collector and the multiple herbs she smokes.
Personality:
Fei has, as with most aristocrats, a slightly snobby and haughty disposition. Although it isnt over bearing, she can be a bit demanding and blunt at times. She is rather vain and takes very good care of her appearance. She is proud of her lineage and her position and holds herself in an equal manner that would not disgrace her position, bar her taste in clothes. What differentiates her from spoilt princess brats is that she is hard and headstrong, but also insightful and responsible, to the point of being an elegant and feminine tomboy (if that makes sense). She could do anything boys do and not succumb to social stereotypes. When it comes to it, she would do her job right and correctly the first time and would not depend on people easily.
For friends, she acts rather Tsundere-ish. She would show distaste and make excuses to hide embarrassment. While she can talk normally, she finds herself unable to show weaker feelings such as excitement, joy, embarrassment and last of all, love.
Fighting Style:
The Zhang Martial Arts style is wide and diverse, but Fei concentrates on the more graceful and elegant style. With her jian, Fei fights mostly with thrusts, slices and stabs rather than straight out chopping. Her blade is different from most jian in that it is thicker and more stiff, which does allow chopping, Fei does not do so often. Fast strikes to critical areas is her specialty. She is also capable of magic of very high quality as well as shooting, though she can't say that she likes it to a too high degree. In fact, Fei has a distaste of it as it creates smoke that Fei believes to be dirty and could mar beauty if it flew close. Therefore, she would shoot as little as possible, and when shooting makes sure she only have to shoot once, hence her accuracy. When shooting, she would often have her arms outstretched as far as possible and block one of her ears as well as distancing her head from the hammer a such as possible.
In addition to the swordsmanship and shooting, Fei is also very adept with Fire element magic. She is an Archmagi, right underneath the Warlock. She is so skilled to the point where she is even highly respected amongst her Archmagi colleagues, ranking up in the top echelon.
Weapon:
Jian: A family heirloom, this jian has seen its fair share of battles, but has retained its keen edge and its aesthetic beauty as if just straight from the forge. At its pommel is a decorated phoenix head while down its length, it has a white edge, a dark metallic gray body with golden designs along with an equally decorative red sheath
Pistol: The first of her guns. Not her most loved possessions, Fei was given this pistol as a gift. As required by manners, she accepted it and carries it around in a very low slung right holster that hangs off her waist belt. It hangs from her waist belt all the way down to the side of her buttocks in a vertical position with a slight forward slant. it is a bit long at around 35 cm long and is a tri-barreled, cocked and changed barrel every time the hammer is pulled back. To reload, it is break open action with minie ball-like cartridges.
Blunderbuss #2 #3: Similarly like her pistol, Fei was given the blunderbuss. In fact, two of them. Due to its number, she is unable to carry it around always on her body. Instead, they are a pre emptive weapon. She has one or two of her lady-in-waiting carry its case with her ammo, in which she would take it off her, fire and get her to reload, then repeat. It is more a battlefield weapon in which she has soldiers protecting her. If she chooses just one of them, then she can carry it around without her lady-in-waiting, though it has to be slung across her bag or on her shoulder. Again, it is a triple revolving chamber gun with three paper shotgun cartridge.
History:
Fei is a minor royal. She has a loose blood relation to the throne, but it is small enough that they would not expect too much liberties and privileges. Instead, the little privilege the Zhang family got, they exploited. Fei's family were given low officers position as a grace to their blood. Through this, her ancestors worked hard and fiercely in the army, and within two generations, her great grandparents made general, which is where their power stems from. From there, her grandfather, father, uncles and siblings all became high army officials and guards and it was expected.
Fei followed in the family tradition. Her seven brothers and five sisters were either within the guards or married off respectfully. Fei had the option to marry into better royalty, but instead, went into the guards. Her pride on her freedom and independence did not quite allow her to become a quiet wife doll. Rather than going through her family's influence, Fei went up from the bottom, starting at the Orange Tiger Division and clawing her way up through tough competition before finally, making her family proud by being accepted into the White Tiger Division.

Name:
Huang Renka
Gender:
Female
Age:
Unknown. Appears early thirties, but estimated to be at least over 65
Race:
Human
Job:
Fire Warlock
Appearance:
One look and any one can tell where Fei get's her extravagancy from. Renka wears similarly, if not more, flamboyant clothing like her apprentice. A good deal of her habits also seemed to have rubbed off as well. Her appearance defies her age, looking rather youthful and ageless, giving her a handsomeness and rather attractive feature.
Renka is pale. Verily so. Almost like a ghost. Her skin has the slightest hue of pink. That may have been attributed to her constantly being in her sprawling house in daytime, hardly ever going out and her generally liking the night. However, her appearance compliments her greatly. She has a rather complacent and relaxed face that appear very knowledgeable, which does not change too much or go into extreme emotional change. She stands at a staggering 180cm tall with a thin, lithe figure and long and slender limbs with buxom chest.
Her hair is also very, very long, Even when hoisted in a very complex manner, it is just barely off the ground, even with her platform princess shoes. Her side burns flow low down to her thighs while the back of her hair is tied in one large ornamental loop with several more smaller, intricate ones inside, before it is looped upwards inside these loops and splayed down like a waterfall. The front is cut in a princess bob fashion, with a straight cut front fringe. Renka's eyes are set in a permanent relaxed state, seemingly musing and is a nice light browny-red colour. Similarly, Renka's lips have a sage-like, all knowing smile to it, decorated with a light pink rogue.
Her taste in clothing is also somewhat gaudy. As standard, she wears a lighter, red inner robe with a more extravagant white one outside. She wears a similar bodice as Fei, except all red, that acts as a fail safe from exposure. However, due to her powers as a Warlock, she has a somewhat legit excuse for her to constantly bare open her robes. The sleeves are incredibly wide as is the base near the leg. The inner red robe is a mix shade of red. A crimson colour acts as its base, while near the hems of the robe, at the sleeves and the edges, she has patterns of wafting smoke and cloud made with differing shades of red. This robe is tied closed with a rather complex set of wraps. The first is a large purple cloth that has triangle patterns near the end. This is wrapped several times around her waist before being tied at the front in several large hanging parts. On top of that, is a thinner red cloth that has golden edge near the end with bells running along the shorter side. This is tied at the front like the purple belt and hangs with four pieces before a golden waist rope is tied over the two cloth and tied in a fancy knot at the front. The Red cloth strips that hang are underneath the purple one, but point downwards while the purple on arches upward and over like a n. Over this, she wears a large, white robe that has similarly wide sleeve ends. The robe is bade white with very light gray wing outlines. Along the sleeves, it is in made to appear to be actually like feathers on a wing. This is not tied by anything but a single thick thread near the middle. Her shoes are similar to the one Fei wears, except her main colour is white with red as secondary. It is much higher than Fei's, throwing her into almost 186-7cm tall.
On her head, her ornament is like red spikes, slaying out in different direction in an arc on her head. It is stuck on the top, in front of the tied hair at the back. The red spikes V backwards in an oblique angle and the further most side ones point slanted downward as if like the rays of a sun. These ones are rather long, almost reaching the width of her shoulders. Along the two antler spikes that are longer than the rest near the op of her ears, she has two long red tassels that reach her waist, which has bells attached in a bunch in four places. One where the tassels hang from the ornament, the next is 1/6 way down, then third is half before the last one is at the end of the tassel near he waist. A similar ornament is wrapped around her neck reaching a bit up her throat before going down to her collar bone and outwards. The front reaches her chest while the sides end shortly after the neck meets the collar.
Another thing that Fei did pick up from Renka was smoking from the Kiseru. While what they smoke isnt narcotic, it produces a similar effect with certain taste, depending on the herb. In addition, the smoke that comes out are of different colour, depending on herb. Renka is able to manipulate these smoke through mysterious means, however, it is just a side trick. Her Kiseru pipe is long, at 75 cm in length, made of metal and being extremely flexible, almost like a jockey whip.
Personality:
Renka is as laid back as they come as well as being relatively immature, free spirited and rather whimsical. Sometimes, even a slave driver to Fei. While holding a rather major position, she prefers to enjoy relaxing and the little things in life, rather than stress out and devote solely onto her job. What she does do, she gets done, but one would often find her able to shirk off jobs that arent that important to her competent personal attendant and at times, onto Fei. There are often times she becomes sage-like and serious when the situation calls for it and often, gives Fei and those close by cryptic, but crucial messages to help them. However these moments are far and few. Rarely does she show extreme emotions such as anger or being really ecstatic, though people can tell when she is serious and dangerous.
Fighting Style:
Renka is the Warlock of Fire. All combat is based on her powerful fire magic, burning all in her way to a crisp. While her clothes does not look like it allows it, Renka is very skilled in close quarter fighting, especially Ta Chi Quan, Bai Ji Quan and Wing Chun, three very close quarter fighting style which allows strength despite size. Not normally used as she prefer little exertion on her part, Renka nonetheless polishes them everyday. Lastly, her Kiseru pipe can be used as a weapon. Its body is made of an extremely durable and flexible metal while the bowl and the mouth piece is hard. With whip like movements, these hard, weighted parts can hurt a lot.
The downside of being a warlock is that she frequently has a lot of fevers. There is not much she can do about it, but Renka has gotten used to it to not make a fuss about it. She would just be somewhat lazier and sluggish that day and have her attendants and sometimes, Fei fan her and cool her down. It is also why she wears her clothes rather openly.
Weapon:
Technically not a weapon, Renka can use her long kiseru as a weapon. It is 75 cm long and made of very flexible metal while the bowl and the mouth piece is hard. With whip like movements, these hard, weighted parts can hurt a lot. While both side hurts, the mouthpiece side can cause slight cuts, but less crushing damage while the bowl side is vice versa. Depending on strength, Renka can use this as a discipline tool when training people or as a deadly weapon on enemies.
History:
Renka is an enigma amongst the enigmas. When her age isn't even known, what chances are there of knowing her history? It is known she arrived into the Capitol around 20 years ago and by that time, was already an accomplished magic wielder. She was elected into Warlock position within 3 years and even then, she appeared not much different that she is now. A year into her Warlock position, she met with a 5 year old Yue Fei and through a whim, took her under her wing, teaching her fire magic up until now. Even though Fei was currently an highly recognised Archmagi, she still hangs onto Renka as if she was still 5, being the only person Fei ever obeyed obediently without question.
