Ember232:
Name: Ember (No Last name Recalled/On Record) [Fracture]
Age: 900 years + (Born around 1100 C.E.)
Race: Presumably human soul blood bound to a life sized porcelain doll.
Curse: The mere fact she exists is its own cure. She can not eat, drink, or even really breath. She does, by habit, 'breath;, passing air through her mouth and nose, though this is more to blend in than anything else. Only weight about thirty pounds naked, and hollow inside, she is easily overpowered, and her porcelain skin, while reinforced and majikally toughened, is not indestructible, and has many cracks across the surface.
Background/Sample RP: 'born' in Mid-Century Japan, the woman known as Ember has wandered the world for centuries, learning many things, and even participating in events that swayed the world. She fought in both of the world wars, at first on the side of the Germans (disguised as a man),then later alongside the Russians on the Eastern Front. She has extensive training in various forms of hand to hand and melee combat, and self-learned skills with firearms, though she rarely uses them. Over time she has come across many Reapers, and obviously none have yet to subdue her rebellious soul, which they desire as it lacks a true physical form. Recently she has had a few interesting encounters with a young Reaper named Xu Bai, Whom has many times attempted to take her soul-but once rescued her from another Reaper. an odd fellow. She has a single weapon-an ancient, enchanted Katana, simple, majestic, and indestructible. It never leaves her side, even if she must conceal it in a coat or dress.

Ember is currently seeking a way to repair and reinforce her body, so it does not break down into pieces(as it has already begun to fracture.)



(( I have permission from Reaper to include him in my history. :P ))

Avatar of the Weaver of life ~

Jeb is connected to the fabric of life. He believes he might be an avatar of the Weaver of Life, or somehow connected in some way to the weave as he has the ability to trace the weavings of life in every living thing. At a single touch of a person Jeb can see their past and their present and all the possible weaves of their future allowing him to manipulate it in small ways. However each time he changes something there is a cost to himself, the further in the past he reaches the more energy it takes easily bringing him closer to slipping through the weavings and the chaos beyond. One must also note that even though the weavings can be changed, it is one thing to shift the thread slightly and changed tiny things but to rewrite the past is nigh on impossible and dangerous.

Sidenote: The only exception to his power he has ever found was that he cannot read the life of his wife Ren. Given this opportunity to be normal, Jeb first befriended then fell in love with this unique woman. As they both fell deeper into their curses Jeb found that his unique powers were somehow tapped by Ren when they touched – allowing her to see in the weave of life dispelling any illusions she might see at that time

Background -

A dream of threads tangled deep within his soul, each a shining light in a rainbow of hues creating the most spectacular patterns the mind could imagine. Stretching away to the furthest stars Jeb could almost see the whole universe if only he could open his eyes wide enough. But yet… yet in all the beauty of the world Jeb could have never imagined the truest treasure he be held before him. It was the most innocent of things, a soft touch of their hands at the library and the wince of anticipation to see that whole person’s life… but it never came… In shock the young man swirled around in a fluster searching, eyes searching for what he never could have imagined.

The clatter of books falling to the ground distracted him slightly, as he realised he had dropped them in  his moment of distraction… but his mind was all a fluttered, his heart beating fast as if something big had happened. The area in the library he stood was disastrously clear with no one in sight. Panicked at the missed chance of finding someone he could not read, Jeb darted his head around and began searching the aisles. As he hurriedly walked past three or four shelves an ache began to grow in his heart and he wondered if he had blown it. His one chance to be normal…

From out of the corner of his downcast eye, a flash of red hair and pale skin beckoned him. Almost on the verge of giving up the man finally gave into temptation and hope and saw a picture of perfection. Elegant in her dress with long red locks, there she stood a woman of perfection…

Krozam:
Um... Ember, your two characters both have the same screen name... <.<

Here's a summary of Xu Bai and Ember's common history:

Xu Bai was changed into a Reaper about 3 years ago. They met for the first time while he was still in Hong Kong, before leaving his gang. For Xu Bai's reaper powers, the living doll is as good as dead, the soul ready to be taken. He tried to take her soul, but she led him into a merry chase that ended up in the middle of a big gang fight between two other triads. She got hit by some bullets, coming close to final breaking of her body. However, Bai got a great harvest from that fight, dozens of souls. He showed his gratitude for leading him there by not only letting her go that time, but by using one of the souls to strengthen the devil's binding spell and thus healing her. Although it wasn't enough to completely fix her up, it was enough to undo the recent damage.

A few months later they met again in Macau. After an exchange of words and another chase, she was saved by a coincidence, as Bai recognized an old friend in trouble and deemed helping a friend - even one who thinks him a traitor - more important than chasing a soul, when he wasn't even particularly hungry for one.

Their next meeting took place in New York, where they met a very territory-conscious reaper. At first the two reapers met and Xu Bai promised to get out of the town soon. However, before he could leave, he stubled upon the other reaper chasing Ember - his prey. A bit impulsively, he intervened and saved her, claiming the 'right' to her soul. This is the scene where the pic is from. The other reaper wouldn't have it, end they ended up fighting. Bai is strong, but the other reaper was decades older and more experienced, so the fight soon turned unfavourable for Bai. Ember, instead of escaping while she had the chance, distracted the other reaper and gave Bai a chance to end the fight - which he did. For the second time they parted ways in peace and mutual gratitude.

Destiny brought them together a few more times, but somehow she survived each encounter. Xu Bai finds those encounters rather thrilling - which is remarkable, considering his emotions are very suppressed while in the Reaper form. He can't help respecting someone who can escape a Reaper time and again, and he thinks he'll be sad once he finally takes her soul. He swears it'll be one of those souls he keeps for himself, not one of those he delivers to the devil.

InfinityStream:
Krozam and Ember are in cahoots.

Shion:
Yes, yes they are.
And just so everyone knows, I have made a Chatzy for anyone who doesn't have others on MSN to plan, or to do mini-RP as I like to call it.
