Abilities/Powers: Shiki's most powerful ability would be the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. They allow her to perceive the inherent mortality, or death, of theoretically anything and everything that exists, in the form of lines and dots. Tracing or cutting the line will damage the target, usually resulting in cutting, cracking, or falling apart. Piercing a dot effectively erases the target's entire existence, thereby killing it; this death is apparently so absolute that said target cannot be revived in any way, not even through reincarnation. However, the older something is, the more "existence" it has amassed, thus making it more difficult to kill; finding the "death dot" takes a longer time and more concentration. They can still be found, but it just takes more effort. According to magus Souren Araya, she could find the "death dot" of anything as long as she tried hard enough. Basically, Shiki really can kill anything, from a person to intangible magic to thoughts to even God (or so she claims), so long as it exists.
As the heir to the Ryougi family, Shiki has been trained in numerous forms of self-defense, most extensively sword-wielding. This particular skill has been trained so far that wielding a Japanese katana will induce a sort of self-hypnosis called self-suggestion, greatly increasing her mental and physical capabilities. For example, when armed with a knife, her usual weapon, crossing a distance of three meters is a fairly easy task. However, should she be armed with a katana instead, her range instantly triples to nine meters.
Other abilities of note include being proficient hand-to-hand combat, a near inhuman tolerance for pain, her left arm actually being a magically enhanced prosthetic arm, and her instincts. She has enough self-discipline to withstand having her arm twisted and broken in midair without much reaction beyond narrowing her eyes. Her prosthetic arm has the ability to grab objects from a distance along with things that can't usually be touched such as ghosts and barriers. It is incredibly durable, so much so that it couldn't be broken without the force of an elephant stepping on it. The prosthetic arm also has a hatch in which Shiki can store a spare knife. Her instincts are described as being more like a sixth sense than mere instincts as she can "reel in the future" simply by hearing and imagining. To put it simply, she's way too good at predicting the moves of whatever her subject of interest is at the time. Items/Weapons: knife, throwing knives, and a spare kimono
Sample Entry:Yo. Sample Entry Two:The next time Shiki saw Mikiya, she'd have to tell him that it wasn't her fault she didn't go to school this time. After all, how was she supposed to know she'd be suddenly kidnapped for some dingy world unknown?
Not that the conditions bothered her much honestly; then again, not much did. It was worse than what she was used to of course, but it's not like it was that difficult to adapt to. In a way, it almost suited her lazy and unconcerned lifestyle better. There were less people to interact with when doing simple things like fetching water or getting food. From a lifestyle standpoint, the worst part about this was that she only came with one kimono. Either she'd have to take extra care of her clothes, or she was going to need someone to make more for her.
Unfortunately, that was only from a lifestyle standpoint. No one told her that things were going to be so boring here. For all the doom and gloom of the damn place, where was the threat? What did she have to be worried about? A few "monsters" were hardly any of her concern, and none of the people she had seen so far were worth her time. She hardly even felt alive like this; she woke up, looked for something to eat, maybe walked around looking for something to do (to fight, really), then slept everything else off. Rinse and repeat for the last god-knows-how-long. At least at home Touko would probably have something for her to do at this point. Hell, even talking to Mikiya would've been better than this dump.
But neither of them were here, and if she gave herself the time to think about it, Shiki would have been nothing less than grateful that Mikiya wasn't here. He'd probably get himself killed, or worse.
And he'd probably tell her that was she was doing was reckless, stupid, and to turn back around right that instant and go home instead. As Shiki started walking down the tunnel to Haven North, she was especially glad for that. With nothing but her knife tucked into her obi and hands shoved into her pockets, she continued aimlessly down the tunnel. It wasn't the city at the end she sought, not even with all of its supplies. If the monsters in here were as tough as people had told her, then she was just looking to feel alive here.
