Appearance

I have a lot of pics. But basically, a very healthy young woman, in great physical shape, with long blonde hair and striking blue eyes. Pale skin, perfectly healthy body. Also has substantial breasts.

Personality

Happy, very friendly, and generally self-effacing and sweet. Aya is a proper young woman in every way, except perhaps a bit too outgoing. She appears naive, though when in 'ninja' mode, she's all business. Despite her upbringing and training, she was always more interested in the poison/medical aspects of ninja training, especially with her gift of the Healing Flame. Due to this, Aya is usually looking for non-violent solutions and tries not to volunteer for assassination missions. She has a girlish, vulnerable side, that makes her very good at seduction.

Background

The daughter of Kurei and his original wife, Kurenai, and his only legitimate child. Aya grew up with two loving parents, until her mother was killed by a Tendou impostor. Horrified and traumatized by this event, she spent some time receding into herself, and it took a long while for her to coem out of her shell and grow into the person she is now, who tries to not let anyone else lose a loved one. Seeing her father suffer made her reach out to him and others to try to return to a normal life, and that's where she got the conviction to become more of a medic than a killer. Revenge wasn't going to bring her mother back, but maybe if she had gotten there in time... she decided she'd try to be 'there in time' for others after that, and learned medical (and poison) techniques from ninjas in the Koga Village. As the Second 'Princess' of the Koga, she had access to the best teachers.

Special Abilities

Ninjutsu: (忍術) The Arts of the Ninja, the 18 disciplines of the shinobi. Kamen has lived, breathed and grown up mastering them. As such, he has superior athletic and physical abilities, incredible sneaking skills, the ability to shadow others, resistance to hanging upside down and several other advantages, such as breathing techniques, meditation, the ability to wear a personality like a second skin and immense concentration. The 18 Skills [1] of the ninja is what Kamen has studied.
Taijutsu: (体術) The Arts of the Body, the ninja 'Martial art'. Kamen has been trained in various forms of hand to hand combat by Raiha and Joker all his life, learning several fighting techniques and tactics, and then forging them into a single coherent and well oiled single fighting style. Kamen's training has focused primarily on Aikido, various Kempo styles (mostly soft), Jiujitsu and Capoeria, for the versatility and fluidity of these styles, but he has also learned more dangerous techniques from various styles, such as Boxing (quick punching and defense), Karate (very hard, decisive strikes), Escrima (for weapon fighting), Krav Maga and Hapkido(for control and disarmament), Tae Kwon Do and Savate for kicking.
Utsusemi no Jutsu: The fabled ninja substitution technique. Aya learned this from an early age, the ability to substitute yourself with a log, or any other available item, to trick an opponent's attack. She has become very good at this.
Poison Use: Aya has learned a lot about medicinal and poisonous plants and animals, as well as mixing and brewing them chemically. She is incredibly adept at them, and can be used to harm or to heal. She can identify plants on sight and touch, and knows how to dilute venom from animals into antitoxins.

• Toxicity Resistance: Aya has been exposed to gradually larger amounts of poisons. As such, she is practically immune to the effects of many different poisons, both natural and ninja-use ones. She is also highly tolerant of alcohol and drug-use, making her practically impossible to get drunk or high.
  

Weapon Use: Aya is proficient at the use of chain and sickle weapons, for long range attacks and disarming opponents. She prefers to immobilize and disarm than outright murder her opponents, but if push comes to shove, that's why she has the sickle. She is very good at counterstrikes or taking people off-balance, as well as immobilization.

Powers & Merits

Koga Flame Master: Aya's primary power is the fact that she is an Koga Flame Master. The Koga Flame is hereditary from parent to child. This flame is spiritual in nature, and burns unnaturally hot, to the point where most normal fires can't compare to it. She can only control his flame while wearing a Tekkou. These are a metal bracer on her arm. If she removes this at any time, her flame will grow out of control and consume her, slowly but surely, unless it is replaced. This flame grants her the following abilities:
Superhuman Resistance to Fire and Heat: Kamen will burn much, much slower than she should. However, she is not immune to flame, not even her own, The advantage to this is that other mystical flame or flame-like attacks burn her much slower than they should, so a magical fireball will not hurt much.
Flame Aura: Aya's flame aura can cause her shirt to burn off her.
Healing Flame: Aya can choose to make her flame a healing, purifying strike in lieu of a burn or attack. This flame will purify from corruption, natural, supernatural, or otherwise. She will destroy low-level undead who aren't exceptionally powerful, and remove poisons. The Healing Flame can, if used quickly enough, reattach limbs that was relatively intact (I.E., can put an arm that was cleaved off someone else, but probably not an arm that was pulverized on impact). It cannot cure diseases, but make those who suffer from them feel better.

• Healing Damage: Aya's flame can heal wounds made from any source. Blades, magic, poisons, etc. Her flame will mend the lesions and lessen the bruises, and if used quickly enough will prevent scarring. She can reattach a limb if it was severed neatly enough and if it was put back in place while she was healing. Otherwise, the wound will seal up and will make re-attaching the limb impossible. Aya's flame can not cure diseases born of infection, bacteria, or of a cancerous origin, but drug-induced, magical or otherwise unnatural diseases may be cured (GM's call). Note that healing around a bullet or sword is a terrible idea, and Aya is better off waiting for the source of damage to be removed before healing.

Unique Items

Herbalism Kit: Aya is a medical ninja. As such, she carries with her an herbalism kit, which she can unroll to pick herbs, calculate amounts, mix them together, etc. This is relatively advanced and lets her mix herbs like a Raccoon City Police Officer. This allows Aya to brew concoctions or drugs like a doctor, but on the field, quickly and efficiently.

Toxicology Kit: An extra to her herbalism kit. Aya has the tools to extract poisons from plants and animals if she has to, as well as leeches (not those types) to draw out poison from an infected area. She can mix antitoxins, and tends to carry a few 'general use' types in this.

Medical Kit: Basically a first aid kit, but like. From Feudal Japan. Bandages, needles, some string, a tourniquet and some painkillers.

Items Of Note

Ninja Tools: Aya carries with her a set of ninja tools.

• Climbing Claws, Pepper Bombs, Fireworks, Lockpicks, Rope, Grappling Hook, Bamboo 'Flute', Razor Blade.

Ninja Weapons: Aya carries a contingent of ninja weapons hidden on her person.

• Shuriken, Needles, Wires, Knife, Poison Darts, Ninjato.

Chain Sickle: Aya has a Mankiri-Gusari, a chain sickle, with one end weighted and the other on a sickle. She can use this expertly, as it's her weapon of choice, but she prefers to limit her use of the sickle.

Weaknesses & Flaws

Soft-Hearted: Aya dislikes suffering. She makes for a poor assassin and wide-scale combatant. She prefers to take espionage or seduction missions instead of assassination or the like. Even if an enemy, she would rather they not suffer.
Airhead: Aya is a good ninja, and she can be focused and skilled if she needs to be, but in her 'relaxed' state, she's relatively naive and prone to believe what people she trusts say. She's quick to make friends and sometimes spaces out instead of looking as focused as she should be. It's easy to mistake her for someone not trustworthy. This being said, she has a good memory.
