CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Kaoru Kiryuu
Fandom: Futari wa Precure (Pretty Cure) Splash☆Star
Summary of Original History: An organization called Dark Fall exists, led by a man named Lord Akudaikaan, and aims to destroy a series of magical fountains, each of which sustains a world. For this purpose, a number of beings were created with something called "the power of destruction", two of whom were a pair of relatively human twin girls with freaky-looking eyes. Michiru and Kaoru, the Kiryuu sisters, were sent to the Land of Fountains to break fountains and kill spirits. This largely worked. After the Fountain of the Sky dried up, by chance, the twins passed by a falling tree that was about to crush two little spirits named Moop and Fuup. Kaoru caught the tree and threw it to the side, justifying her decision to her sister by saying that it had nothing to do with the spirits and the tree was just getting on her nerves. They left without killing Moop and Fuup, and out of eternal gratitude, the spirits stalked them wherever they went.
Then they were sent to another world, the Land of Greenery, which housed the Fountain of the Sun. Problem is, Dark Fall has no idea where this fountain is, and two preteen girls have joined forces with some refugee spirits to become the legendary warriors, Pretty Cure! Precure for short. Michiru and Kaoru went to infiltrate their school and then go kill them. Kaoru befriends a cute little girl who happens to be a Cure's sister, she and Michiru slowly get used to the Land of Greenery despite not knowing what anything is, and what follows is a few episodes of:
KAORU: Can we turn good yet?
MICHIRU: No.
...before they finally reveal themselves to the Cures and fight. They lose to the power of friendship speeches and decide to plead to Akudaikaan to change his mind. It nearly works, but Akudaikaan's doofy-looking assistant, Gouyaan, convinces him to seal the twins away forever at the bottom of the ocean in Dark Fall instead. Jerk. But they get out thanks to the spirits a good nineteen episodes later after Precure rebuild all the fountains they and their coworkers trashed, and fight with the Cures for a while. They defeat Akudaikaan, Gouyaan reveals that he was the mastermind behind Dark Fall, and Michiru and Kaoru join forces with Moop and Fuup to become Cure Bright and Cure Windy. Gouyaan destroys the world. Four Cures put it back together and vaporize him. Michiru and Kaoru are forevermore ignored by movies and merchandise. The end.
AU History: Kiryuu Kaoru and her twin sister Michiru were born to an eccentric family of magi who live in the mountains. By "eccentric family", I mean "miniature insane asylum". Their father, Akudaikaan, and their grandfather, Gouyaan, were constantly present and only let a few close associates into the house, not letting either of the twins out. The house was a dictatorship, and while their father was supposedly the one in charge, it was secretlly Gouyaan pulling all the strings by making subtle suggestions and insulting all of the family's associates when they made mistakes.
The Kiryuu family has never won any time that there's been a Holy Grail War. They've often come close, but have always been defeated. This might have contributed to the messed-up relatives. Either way, the girls were brought up to have nothing in mind but winning the War when it next came around. They were given intensive magic training and even had their bodies modified to force their abilities to improve, a painful process that left their eyes dilated permanently, but had very little knowledge of social interaction. Of the two, Kaoru was chosen as the heir of the family because she seemed to be the most malleable one and would believe everything she was told. Hence, it was she who became a Master in this particular War. She was sent out into the world for the first time, enrolled in school and given a small home in Fuyuki City. The rest is up to her.
Personality: Kaoru is, as a rule, unfriendly to strangers. She doesn't trust anyone she's just met to care anything about her, so she sees no reason to be nice to them. If they are nice to her, consider her brain quite broken. The only one she says she cares about is Michiru, since, as far as she knows, Michiru is the only one who cares about her. She does have a sense of empathy, but she tries to hide it well, because she believes that she can't escape her family's wishes.
Though she's a fast learner, Kaoru is quite naive and sheltered, and though she's been given the basics on fighting the War, she hasn't been given the basics on day-to-day life. She doesn't even know that you're supposed to eat lunch in the middle of the day. This is the main reason that she's completely obedient to her father and grandfather. Though she'll say that this is out of sharing the same goals of gaining the Grail for her family (although she has no idea what they want to wish for), the truth is, she hasn't given it any thought at all. She also thinks that everything in Fuyuki City is just like how her family is at home; she takes suggestions as orders, and so, unless she has respect for you, she'll brush you off if you so much as ask her to join the basketball team because she doesn't want to be your subordinate.
Kaoru is incredibly afraid of offending her father because she knows he'll probably kill her if she does, but she could be persuaded to turn against him and her grandfather with friendship speeches and the assurance that people strong enough to survive would be helping her. You'd have to get her to develop a sense of purpose first, though.
FOR MASTERS
Powers/Specialties:
*Kaoru is a fast learner. Once given instructions, she can pull something off quite well with no previous knowledge on the subject. In canon, she became one of the best volleyball players in her class minutes after being told the rules of the game.
*Kaoru's natural element is wind. However, her father has also trained her in a different technique that allows her to control glowy black, purple or red balls of pure energy. He encourages her to use these sorts of spells more often, referring to them as the "power of destruction" because he's an absolute nutcase.
Any preferences for Servant personality?: Looking for a substitute Michiru; that is, someone who can convince her to kill things when she starts wavering, but who may or may not eventually change halfway through.
Player Availability: My time zone is complicated, as we do not observe Daylight Savings Time. I'm officially in Central Standard Time, but during DST you could just say I'm in Mountain Time. Or just read this. I'm available pretty much whenever.
Apping with a Servant? No :o
SAMPLES
First-person:
This "school" thing is getting on my nerves. Why do we have to go to it? Is it normal for these people?
I still don't want to. The teacher just forces people to do these "homeworks". It's pointless.
...If Akudaikaan-sama wants me to go to school, though, I'll keep going. Don't tell him about this.
Third-person:
Kaoru stopped walking in the middle of the street and turned her head. The building over on her right had wide open doors, flashing lights and strange machines everywhere. She walked straight into it, past the "ARCADE" sign, and stopped in front of a game. The next few minutes were spent staring at the machine, poking at its buttons and playing around with the light gun.
"Excuse me?"
Kaoru turned around and pointed the plastic weapon at the arcade employee who had addressed her. He flailed for a bit before blinking and scratching the back of his head. "Uh... need some help there?"
She looked at the gun and then at the screen on the machine. "How does this work?"
He raised an eyebrow and stepped a bit away from her. "You have to put a coin in first," he said, pointing at the coin slot. "Then shoot the screen to start. Most of the moving's done for you, so all you need to do is shoot at the zombies and avoid shooting the normal humans. Okay?"
Kaoru paused. "Which ones are the zombies?"
The arcade worker sweatdropped. "Uh, the dead-looking ones. You know, the grey ones. With ripped clothes and missing body parts."
"All right." The strange girl put in a dull, beaten coin and shot the screen. Satisfied with the easiest question he'd ever had to answer in his career, the worker walked off to deal with something else.
A while later, he was flagged down by the same girl.
"Yes?" He held back a sigh up until he stopped in his tracks.
She stared back at him with blank eyes. "This screen tells me to write my name." Her gun arm pointed directly at the machine, indicating the high score screen.
The worker leaned forward and gaped. "That's... That's a hundred points better than the top score on that machine." He looked up at her. "Way better than anything I could do!"
Kaoru didn't seem to care, her expression staying the same. "How do I write my name with the gun?"
