Character Information |::Luan-Xi
Type: Original
Age: 113 (Appears to be 18; Immortal)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Status: Single
Interest: None
Face Claim: Original drawing
Appearance:
Xi bears the features of and 18 year old, but her immortality guarantees that. She has raven hair that flows like an inky waterfall of pure midnight down her back until it hits the small of her back. Her face, oval in shape, is the color of pale honey and is inset with slanted, almond-shaped eyes the color of blue topaz , which glitter and sparkle like actual gems behind thick, dark lashes. She has deep, rosey, full lips that reveal her white teeth. Her body is lean and muscular but maintains a feline grace that is mysterious to watch. On her back, she bears tattoos of the many symbols of Hinduism in indigo ink, the biggest being a trident, the symbol of her God ,Shiva, which starts at the base of her neck and ends at the small of her back.
On her right shoulder is the Hindu symbol of "Aum"- also written "Om"- which is the most important Hindu symbol. Its prolonged intonation is associated with the primeval sound through which the universe was created. It is thought to contain all things. It consists of three syllables — a-u-m — which are sounded progressively from the throat to the lips. The three sounds are considered to symbolize many items, but perhaps most important are the three states of consciousness – waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. The entire symbol represents the fourth state, which is the awareness of one's own spiritual identity. On her Left shoulder, the lotus, symbol of purity, rests above water. On her forehead, the Dipa, symbol of light, is supposed to help her make decisions.
With a height of about 5.5 ft and a weight of about 160, Xi wears clothing that shows off her form. As a casual style, she wears a midnight colored, strapless top that reveals the tattoos on her shoulders, and tan colored, cotton, capri pants that have approximately twelve in all. She prefers to walk barefoot but when the conditions are rough, she has a pair of boots that she can put on. As a battle style, she wears tight fitting, dark brown leather pants, black gloves with spikes on the knuckles, ornate, silver, armbands with bloody spikes of bone that protect her shoulders, and a dark blue leather halter top and, of course, her boots.
Personality:
Though her full name is Luan-Xi, she likes being called Xi. She has the principles of a warrior and the grace and manners of a princess, which is odd, considering that she absolutely loves dirty jokes and pulling pranks on friends. Her favorite mantra includes the following words: Balance, Honor, and Spirit. Though Xi opposes the idea of killing someone to gain something, she realizes that without evil-doers the world would be out of balance, so she takes no side, but leans more toward the light than darkness. She has years of experiance and the wisdom that comes with it, but that doesn't mean that she's a stiff.
If one were to say to Xi, "You are very pretty" she would probably point to some other girl and say, “She’s prettier." That’s just how modest she is, but she also a clear sense of right of wrong, and doesn’t press her opinion on anyone unless they specifically ask for it. To list a few of her interests, she likes to dance, sing, swim, show off, to tell stories to kids, blow things up, run errands for her friends, and read books and is normally a happy-go-lucky girl on a daily basis, but when you threaten her friends she can turn into quite a monster and will literally bite your head off. When someone annoys her, she likes to play games with them by zapping them or sending electric bubbles to chase her victims; They are non-lethal, of course.
If Xi has any faults, they would include her pride in her skills and her weakness for dark, mysterious, and otherwise dangerous, men, particularly those that like explosions. She doesn't expect much from them, but she has the everlasting hope that one will marry her. As such, she hasn’t given herself to anyone in a long time, even though she is 113 years-old. As for her pride, she has the habit of considering her years of existence a mark of superiority, but is modest enough to keep that fault under control. She hates it when someone says “What do you know about this?” and she gets her revenge. Other things she hates is people not listening to her, and people calling her “girl.”
History:
Xi was born in Sunagakure to two Shiva worshippers who desired that Xi would go to the nearby temple and become a monk. As she grew up at the temple, she quickly developed her singing voice, which would later become the key to her future jutsu, and her skill with martial arts. The monks, though pleased with her progress, were unsure if her devotion to her studies was attributed to Shiva or to her parent’s pride. As such, they attempted to instill a sense of fear into the child, but when they tried, she always gave them a cocky smile, as if she was already was best friends with their god. She trained at the Temple for most of her life, until she hit 16, then she returned to her parents home to help around the house.
After living at home for a year, tragedy struck. One day, Xi walked into her house and found it ransacked and her parents missing. Her father lay gutted on the foor of their home, and a message had been left on the body. A gang of rouges had tried to rob the house and ran into her family, and in their panic, had abducted her mother and killed her father. They wanted money, she would give them a piece of her mind. She tracked her mother by transforming into a lion and following her familiar scent. It took her nearly 3 days, but she caught up and demand her mother’s release. They demanded a hostage, so Xi took her mother’s place. Once her mother had escaped, Xi was then in the clutches of the bandit’s leader.
The leader, who Xi knew only as Scratch, immediately placed her under his watch. As the year passed, Xi and Scratch developed a bit of a thing for one another and eventually became a full out couple, much to the rest of the gang’s displeasure, knowing that they could no longer collect a ransom on her. So long as Xi knew Scratch was safe, she was happy, but being in love with a wanted bandit had its drawbacks. They could never settle down or get married, and the fear of Bounty Hunters and the law haunted their every step. Scratch attributed their previous luck in evading the law and their safety to Xi’s prayers to Shiva, but said he would never put his life in some God’s hands. As if his words had angered that some god, bounty hunters captured them and brought them in. Scratch was sentenced to death, but Xi asked to take his place and repay the blood owed. Scratch didn’t try to stop her, and the law slit her throat. She was 18.
Shiva was taken aback that one of his monks had sacrificed her life for an evil man and decided to make her into one of his “ghostly hosts” making her literally an Immortal Ghost that serves him at his beck and call. In repayment, Shiva demands that Xi perform his ritual, in which the usual service consists of the following: first, Xi must anoint the figure of Shiva with oil, water, milk, ghee, honey, curd, various juices, sandalwood paste, and others, then shower him with blossoms. Then she must dress him in the traditional way of Tamilnadu, adorned with jewels and flower garlands. She burns incense, then gives him a food offering (usually a rice preparation, as such, she needed to learn how to cook different kinds of rice dishes.). Xi lights beautiful lamps of various designs and presents them to the image of the deity along with alighted camphor. Xi then holds her palms over the burning camphor before placing her palms over her eyes, which signifies that her devotion to Shiva is as precious as her own eyesight. Finally, Xi takes a mixture of sacred ash and kungumam and touches it to her forehead. with all that complete, She finishes her service by bowing low in front of the statue, with a prayer on her lips, then sings some of the Vedic Hymns., of which, she is one of the most beautiful singers. Most of Shiva’s jobs include protecting temples from bandits like Scratch, but not necessarily killing them.
Xi’s blood, being blessed by Shiva, now had healing powers, and she decided to rejoin her mother in Sunagakure after a year of wandering with Scratch and become a healer. After the first ten years of immortality, Xi learned that her healing gift could not prevent ageing or abolish sickness, only open wounds and decaying flesh. As such, her mother died of old age. Tired of the memories of death in Sunagakure, Xi wandered the world and took many jobs, including artist, cabaret singer, bounty hunter, guitarist. The list goes on.
She decided to find Scratch and try again, but when she stumbled onto him in the desert, he was very freaked out. When Xi tried to explain herself to him, he stuck a sword in her gut, and ultimately breaking her heart. Just when he thought she was dead, Xi stood up, and commanded that he recognize the truth of her immortality. It didn’t set well with him, and he tried multiple times to kill her, but in the end, Xi got the upper hand. End of subject. After 103 years of wandering, performing Shiva’s tasks, and helping random people, Xi returned to Sunagakure and lives in a very nice house, bought with several life savings. Her heart is still somewhat damaged by Scratch’s rejection, but she maintains the hope that there is someone out there to share his life with her.

Known Jutsu:
~Earth Release: Hidden Among Rocks Technique [Doton: Iwagakure no Jutsu] :: It allows the user to become invisible and then move in and out of rock as a defensive technique against other earth techniques.
~ Transformation Technique [Henge no Jutsu] :: This jutsu allows the user to assume the appearance of another person, animal, or object. Fundamentally, all ninja know this jutsu. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. On top of that, the user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts much mental strain on the inexperienced ninja. Xi uses the technique to transform herself into a black lion so she can hunt in the night and escape when she needs to, not to mention carrying out a mission for Shiva. If anyone gets accused of murder, the cat does, but not necessarily Xi.
Name: denkou kobito [Lightning dwarf]
Rank: B-rank
Element: lightning
Type: Attack
Character: Luan Xi
Description: Xi focuses her chakra into balls of electricity encased in bubbles that shock on contact, and have little cat faces for humor. The bubbles can multiply rapidly and form swarms, which Xi sends out to hunt her victims.
~ Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness [Doton Kekkai: Dorô Dômu]:: This jutsu traps the victims inside a self-repairing dome of earth that is almost instantaneously able to reform even when Kiba hit it with his Piercing Fang. This B-ranked jutsu also is able to absorb Chakra.
Name: konpaku shinjou [ghost body]
Rank: B -Rank
Element: Earth
Type: Attack/ supplementary
Character: Luan Xi
Description: This jutsu, depending on how Xi uses it, can be used to either as a destructive or a healing technique. It is similar to the Hidden Among Rocks Technique , except it allows her to move in and out of people, not rock. If she uses it as an attack, she sings the primeval note, Aum, to sync to the world around her and quickly gets under the skin of her enemies, ripping them apart from the inside out. If she uses this technique to heal, she basically melds her heart to her patient and allows her blood to drain into their veins, healing internal damage. This technique, however, tires her immensely, so she uses it rarely.

Xi is immortal by eternal youth, but is susceptable to respertory infections like Pnuemonia and bronchitis, which, when not treated properly, can kill her. Therefore, when dealing with people who have a disease like that, she wears a mask.

Your Age: 17
Read The Manga / Seen The Anime? Um, didnt get into it until Monsun, my ultimate teacher, asked me to do one.
How'd you find me?! Monsun talked me into it
Rule Code: sadist aiuya
Sample RP:
(Alright, this is from a handwritten R.P. me and Monsun did as practice so it was my first. The Characters in this scene are Deidara and Luan Xi , you can guess what its like.)
Xi watched as Deidara walked in and, in a fit of breeze, kissed her lips sweetly. She didn’t know what to do first; laugh, hug him, or dance around in joy. Things couldn’t get better. She had just woken up, He had walked into the room without his shirt on and gave her a good morning kiss, and he had, so far, taken care of her. After he told her to eat her breakfast, walked to the door to the onsen and opened it, Xi poured herself a cup of tea and lifted her chopsticks to dig in. She stopped herself. Things have just gotten better…
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Diedara had forgotten to close the door outside before he started undressing. She slowly sipped her tea as she watched him remove each article of clothing, her eyes scanning over every detail of his body. The little angel on her shoulder pulled desperately on the Akatsuki robe that hung loosely on her shoulders, trying to pry her eyes away from the sight; However, the devil inside her was much stronger. Her eyes enhanced the picture, focusing on the way the sun illuminated his skin and made his golden hair glitter. The devil gave her a few words to describe the man in front of her, Sexy, gorgeous, arousing, God-like. The list went on in her head. Xi smiled warmly as she watched him slide into the hot spring.
Then, slowly but surely, it dawned on her as to what he meant when he said “when we’re done out back.” She flipped, Oh Shiva! This is not good! I haven’t been with anyone in 95 years! What if I’m not good? She dashed to the shower , tearing off her clothes madly as she stepped under the warm head. She scrubbed her skin raw, making sure that every inch of her body was squeaky clean and fretted about her near century of inexperience and felt as though she was going to have a heart attack. She looked at herself in the mirror and lightly thudded her head against the reflective glass. Hes gonna think I’m a complete idiot! I’m practically a virgin and he’s a flippin’ gorgeous hunk! Oh God, What am I going to do?She thudded her head rhythmically against her own reflection, Think. Think. Think. Think…
As if by some spur of luck, she recalled the image of her master at the temple. The old monk wisely said above her, Start with the first step, little Xi. She immediately settled herself into a small form of meditation and breathed in deeply, stretching out her muscles and relaxing her mind. She silently thanked her master, then wrapped a towel around her form. The towel only barely covered her chest and thigh, leaving her feeling exposed. She shook off any remaining meekness and stepped outside. The water from the shower instantly chilled her but she managed a uncertain grin, “How’s the water?”
Danke' thank you, ok i'll get to work on it!
