Raimei [Solo] complete

Having trained her body for a long time Raimei is very flexible and nimble. Her movements are naturally fluid with little wasted effort. Being light on her feet, her footsteps are also unnervingly quiet.

Thanks to her extensive practice in throwing weapons Raimei has superb eye-hand coordination. She’s good at hitting desired targets, and analyzing trajectory and speed when trying to catch something.

A theatrical toy more than anything else. These golfball sized items explode upon impact, and dramatically spread a cloud of smoke in the immediate vicinity. The smoke’s color varies in accordance with the color of the bombs.

Raimei holds herself to a personal code of honor. A sense of justice tempered by sincerity, and sharpened with ruthless finality. Just as she will not keep any suspicions silent, she will not hold back from dispensing retribution, either. However, she also recognizes a key flaw with such a rigid doctrine. Order without liberty is just as destructive as liberty without order. Meticulous care is needed to maintain harmony between the two. After all, justice has an altruistic purpose: to serve and protect the people. Raimei never claimed to walk an easy path, but it is the only path she feels comfortable on. In this way she stands beside both her principles, and her heart.

When a tool loses its purpose it’s typically cast aside and forgotten. In a similar manner when Raimei’s master closed his dojo to embrace Luminas’ efforts to change its image the situation left a bitter taste in her mouth. She had been trained and sharpened to be an enforcer endeavoring for peace. Now that serene warmth was already returning to the streets of Luminas, and spreading even, without her having had the chance to lift a finger. To protest in indignation would be selfish. She had sacrificed for this noble cause, but what now, now that it was already starting to manifest? Glad as she is for the city’s shift in mood Raimei still can’t help but feel that she’s been suddenly left behind on the path of progress.

Whether it’s for a cause or for a friend Raimei is all in as far as effort and dedication goes. She won’t fight for ideals she believes to be wrong or harmful to peace, so she holds nothing back against those she deems as enemies. If allies find themselves tiring or doubting themselves Raimei’s bravado doubles down to help maintain morale. The fighting spirit within her may have lost its way after her self imposed exile, but she refuses to let others down when they are relying on her to get something done.

Despite having no real jurisdiction over anyone Raimei carries herself with an aura of assured authority. Especially when riled up her conviction becomes bullish to a degree. It’s not that she believes herself to be above other people in any sense, but rather her perception of right and wrong leaves very little room for compromise. As an example, she can understand why a starving family might steal food, and would try to pay out of her own pocket to cover the theft. Despite that she would obstinately insist that said family return the blessings unto the community by pitching in where they can, and Raimei would happily assist them in that matter.

Aside from what she already carries with her she finds little need for being materialistic. She doesn’t need a lavish bed to sleep in, and sometimes even prefers to sleep on grass under the stars. Having a lot of property just gets in the way of her constant traveling, anyways. More often than not she’ll pass on high end conveniences, and allow any companions present to claim them instead. Likewise, when she does take the time to look for something fancy it’ll usually be a gift for another person. Money is just a means to an end for her, so she won’t go out of her way to hoard it without a good reason.

As much as she presents herself as a hardass it’s inevitable that one who champions goodwill would become compassionate as well. In the same manner as a parent or a teacher Raimei is strict with others because she earnestly cares for their welfare. She knows that she’s delicately trying to balance justice with kindness and that she will make mistakes along the way, but she hopes that her efforts aren’t in vain and that others will forgive any shortcomings. It will be a bittersweet day when the world no longer needs people like her to fight, but in the end she believes it will be worth the self sacrifice.

Every light casts a shadow. The grand city of Luminas is no different. If anything it serves as an undeniable testament to this truth. The radiant city had its own fair share of dark corners, and even darker realities. Within these shadows digimon trained to become enforcers and protectors of the city, warding off threats to Luminas’ ideals. During those times justice was black and white, and evil had no place within the vaunted community. These digimon lived, fought, and died in the very same darkness they hoped to fiercely protect their city from.

However, those times are no more. The wheel of fate has begun its slow trek forward along the road of progress, and Luminas is not the unwelcoming eye in the sky anymore. The city has become a warm and benevolent light instead. Where there once was guarded suspicion, now rests a careful acceptance. There’s little need for the city of light to conceal threats in the dark; although, Luminas hasn’t demilitarized completely.

Unfortunately for Raimei, the dojo she was a member of did close down. As a Luminus born resident who had grown up in its discordant times she had always seen the city’s stern handling of outsiders as normal. If a stranger wasn’t in the city to cause trouble they had nothing to fear but their own insecurities. Bad people had caused bad things in Luminas before, so the upped security was a natural and understandable consequence to her. She even served proudly in her district’s clandestine guard cadre, and can attest that her compatriots only had good intentions. Her training had only recently been completed however when the proverbial axe had dismantled her home in the name of peace.

There were a lot of conflicting feelings about that time, many of which still remain with her to this day. Selflessness had always been a tenet of her master, but it wasn’t until his disciples were honorably discharged from service did Raimei really understand what that meant. She exiled herself from Luminas afterwards, unable to bear being a stain of the past upon the pristine canvass of the future.

She set out to wander the Digital World, searching for purpose. Maybe if she does enough good in her lifetime she’ll even find some kind of satisfaction in the end. Until the shadows come to claim her forever, she’ll keep the light of hope in her heart.

As a punimon Raimei doesn’t fight. It’s not for lack of trying mind you, just that she physically can’t aside from bashing her face against an opponent. Being a slime, this doesn’t work very well as you can imagine.

Blows bubbles from her mouth to intimidate people.

Raimei’s still not up to par yet in this form. If she’s forced to fight in this form something has definitely gone horribly wrong. In which case she’ll be attempting to flee the battle.

Blows bubbles from her mouth to intimidate people.

Charges as fast as she can bounce, ramming her horn into her target.

There’s no glory in fighting. Violence is violence, and Raimei holds no naive perspective on that fact. If she must engage someone then she will try to strike fast and hard, and often before her opponent even knows there’s a battle.

Raimei's steps and movements are silent during combat to digimon of equal level or lower, even when running on surfaces that would normally make a lot of noise such as puddles. She can be heard if detected through an auditory enhancement ability, however.

Using her claws, hands, or even her teeth, Raimei gets a firm hold on her opponent before lifting them up and slamming them through the ground with enough force to bury the target under 10ft of rubble.
Cooldown: 2 posts

Fires a stream of black energy from her mouth that damages and significantly lowers the body temperature of those it hits.

Cooldown: 2 posts

Raimei’s shadow reaches out and melds with her target’s shadow. Until the ability’s duration ends she and her target will be unable to move more than 10ft from each other. This shared shadow will not be dissipated by light, and will travel around corners if necessary.
Duration 3 posts
Cooldown: 3 posts

Shadows are without true shape or form. By allowing her own shadow to engulf her Raimei can then change her outward appearance and voice. This ability cannot be used in combat, and being struck by an attack will cancel the illusion.

As a former warrior of the City of Light Raimei is overly familiar with and acclimated to searing radiance, even as a creature of the night herself. Attacks that generate or emit illumination deal 40% less damage to her.

If damaging an opponent that has received healing in their previous post, Raimei’s attack does 50% more damage.

Raimei gets a firm hold on her opponent before lifting them up and slamming them through the ground with enough force to bury the target 100ft underground and covered by rubble, dealing moderate damage. The target will be unable to move from that spot for 1 turn.
Cooldown: 3 posts

Raimei’s blade takes on a shadowy form as she strikes out in an uncharacteristically casual motion. The attack will pass harmlessly through opponents, but will shatter shielding abilities of equal rank and below and add 2 posts to their cooldown.
Cooldown: 4 posts

Raimei’s scarf extends and grows, able to reach out like a prehensile appendage up to 30ft. Its end wraps around a target's head and emanates corrupting data disabling the use of named attacks by its victim for 1 post. The flooding of corrupted data itself deals light damage.
Cooldown: 3 posts

The blade of her sword takes on a shadowy appearance before being stabbed into the ground. Immediately in a 80ft radius around Raimei blades of shadows will shoot up from the ground spaced out at 6in apart and rising suddenly to a height of 50ft. The blades inflict moderate damage.
Cooldown: 2 posts

Summons a round black bomb into her palm its short fuse lighting off after its been fully formed. She then drops the bomb into her own shadow making it disappear out of sight. Everyone that Raimei has damaged previously during this thread that’s currently within 80ft of her will have an explosion launched at them from their own shadows. These 10ft wide blasts inflict critical levels of burn damage for 3 posts ignoring any damage resistances and immunities.
