I am the nail of my ships
Timber is my body, the winds are my blood
I have created over a thousand ships
Unaware of hate, nor aware of fear
Withstood pain to create even more ships, waiting for one to set sail
I have no regrets, this is the only route
My whole life was an unlimited ship works

Well, Inumori does have a point XD
I guess the main problem with fight scenes is when people play to win.
IMO fights are there for character and relationship development.
asskicking is good too, but not when it goes to excessive invulnerability.
you have to choose your battles to win the war, ne?

Works for me! xD
By the way late, everything in this RP will take place within the country of Empyria, right? Or will our characters be able to leave it and if so will other Countries or nations also be created when the time comes for the story? Like the whole 'source of darkness' bit? Was curious.
It's your character and if it's part of your bio then its one of the things that need to explained, yes?
Eheh, let the world building commence!

oh, does anybody want a relationship with my character? XD

Traces? What did he mean by that, exactly? Her eyebrows rose in curiosity, especially when he took his comment back and tried to replace it with a more innocous remark.
"Strangers are all unusual, one way or another. I just happen to be the only stranger around... other that that guy over there," said Aspen, while gesturing to the other man behind them.
He had friends here? All the more reason to be wary. Still, she decided she should give him a chance. The man hasn't attacked her, at least; he deserved that much. Besides, she was pretty hungry already. Her stomach was rebelling– using the RE-WRITE ability was pretty calorie intensive. The Dirty Batoto better be one huge meal.
"Alright, I will answer your questions..."
She reaches into her pocket and frowns. For some reason, her wallet has inexplicably disappeared.
"If you can pay for my dinner."
Aspen smiles nonchalantly, hoping that the man's generosity was as great as his curiosity.

Without looking, Aspen noticed the newcomer's presence. The scent was quite familliar, so she chose to let it be. Judging by the sound of its steps, it was of average build, most likely a male; nothing beastly or menacing.
At the moment, her attentions were focused on the elderly man in front of her.
"Ah, is that so."
He was much too calm to be completely innocent. Also, that powerful aura was far too distracting to ignore. If he didn't know what this ruckus was all about, then at least he could tell her what he was, right?
"I'm not looking for anyone. Are you?"
The hybrid was beginning to wonder if all these people were even mortals, as everything she knew about basic carbon-based biological entities did not apply to the people she just met.
"I'm guessing you're either a traveler... or a man with some unfinished business. Or both."
She laughs, unable to restrain herself.
"No offense, but everyone here looks pretty shady."
The residents seemed quite used to all the strange happenings though. On her way to the diner, she spotted a news van taking footage of the entire fight. The people inside sounded excited, as if they were just watching some MMA fight on television. Normal people would have run away at the sight of deadly weaponry being flung about.

Well, i have to go to bed soon.
I guess if the story turns into a fight, Aspen would probably involve herself recklessly.
If Geo attacks she'd probably rush headlong into battle without a second thought.
This may cause her to get hurt, so Fey could bring her to his master/gramps.
She hates owing people things, so if you save her life, she's basically forever indebted to you guys. XD
If no fight happens, then she'll probably just go along because she wants to see whether Fey's gramps is short like him too.
Since he's the king of demons he'd probably have some weird aura, which causes her to faint.
Same thing, she'll feel embarrassed about appearing weak in front of total strangers.

-joins the bandwagon-
Bio:
Appearance:
Personality:
Aspen isn't one to hold back, either in the bar or on the fields of battle. Once something has grabbed her interest, she will pursue it at all costs, no matter how mundane or stupid it seems to the rest of the world. If she had the chance to pick an ability, she probably would have chosen something related to pyrotechnics. Unfortunately for her, she never had the luxury of choice, being a laboratory specimen. Due to her experiences as a test subject, the ability to exercise freedom is of utmost importance to her as she is done with blindly following orders. Aspen is quite willing to work with a team though, so long as they prove themselves quite capable of protecting her back as she is theirs.
Despite the physical abuses she has gone through under the hands of the scientists, Aspen has no psychiatric disorders. However, these abuses have left scars across her body, and as a result, she is quite sensitive to physical contact. This may prove as a trigger point if she is touched without her permission. Wounds only serve to make her more aggressive– as it has been said, a dying soldier has nothing to lose.
Backstory:
Ever since the advent of science, advancements in weapon technology has progressed quite exponentially. However, so has genetic experimentation. Projects that involved this controversial branch of science have largely been kept out of the public eye, as it raised far too many ethical considerations. The specimens were obtained from orphanages that could no longer afford to care for the children, as it would prove easy to make them disappear without anyone missing them too much. Also, the younger the specimen, the higher the chances of survival.
Aspen Holzer happened to be one of the 500 children gathered for the experiment, and most notably, the only known survivor of the entire procedure called RE-WRITE, wherein the subject's genetic structure was altered by removing and adding chromatids that are either obtained from animals or synthetically produced.
In order to test her capabilities, countless tests were carried out to find the limits of this new technology. Time and time again, Aspen managed to surpass and even break the expectations of the scientists. It came to the point where they could no longer physically hold her captive at the age of 10, as she was capable of breaking down steel doors with kicks despite being untrained for physical combat.
To acquire more funding for the RE-WRITE project, they rented her out to the military for espionage-type missions. After proving her capabilities, the military began putting her into the front-lines as an unregistered soldier. The battles always turned out to be in their favor... so long as she was compensated well.
Eventually, Aspen realized that both her creators and the military were no longer capable of restricting her should she choose to defy their orders. After a few failed attempts, she managed to escape from her cell and disappear from their radar. The escape was made possible by a sympathetic scientist who could no longer live with the abuses he helped commit.
She currently lives on the run, relying on her skills and military experience to provide mercenary services as a means of getting income.
Weapons:
Aspen is proficient in the use of numerous weapons but her weapon of choice is a katana, especially for close combat situations.
Even guns are utilized as an extension of melee weapons, as she dislikes long-ranged combat.
She does not have the patience to stay out of the battlefield, even if ordered to do so.
Abilities and Skills:
Hypersensitivity to senses - All senses are acutely attuned to the surroundings, from sight to touch. This is due to the various mutations in her genetic structure that mimic those of animals (ex: superior eyesight due to some genes from bird species, acute sense of smell from canines, etc.) One downside of this hypersensitivity is that pain becomes an issue. To counteract this, Aspen takes specialized medication when she expects that a mission will result in severe physical wounds. The opposite is true as well; well-placed hugs can immediately comfort her as the pleasure of meaningful human contact is magnified.
Superior Endurance and Strength - Aspen is capable of running several hours without slowing down, although this carries with it the risk of severe muscle damage. Simply put, she is a sprinter, not a marathon runner. The burning sensation of muscle pain does not sit well with her.
Regenerative Capabilities - It takes a matter of minutes for Aspen to heal deep lacerations, and about a week to regrow decapitated limbs, including the head so long as a portion of the brain stem is intact and the decapitated body is put on life support. She is still mortal, though her rugged physical healing factors make her seem nigh invulnerable. She may even seem flameproof; what happens is that her skin regenerates faster than the flame can destroy it.
RE-WRITE - To a certain extent, Aspen can manipulate her genetic structure giving her the ability to change forms while still maintaining her sentience. This allows her to take on animalistic forms of her own design and imbue them with abilities of her choosing. For example, she can make venomous enzymes that are delivered through bites or scratches, even if the form chosen appears to be harmless. If she chooses to morph into a form that requires more mass than that which her human flesh provides, she can either consume more calories as appropriate for the energy gain, or alternatively, maintain physical contact onto another carbon-based organism to use their mass to transform into larger forms. The only limit to this ability is the amount of mass she can gain access to at the moment.
This ability can also be used to form antibodies, vaccines and the like when needed. Basically, Aspen is a sentient bio-chemistry lab.
Alternatively, the introduction of foreign chemicals into her bloodstream can also affect her combat capabilities very quickly. Drugs can boost her reaction speeds as well as weaken her sense of pain, however this also makes her more aggressive and less careful.
PAPER CUT- Aspen's blood has curative properties and can serve as a liquid bandage of sorts– if synthesized and processed. In its raw form however, it is a biohazard. When the blood comes into contact with something, it turns into an acid that cannot be neutralized with alkaline substances aside from that produced by her own body. Acting as an acid, it eats away at anything it comes into contact with, so long as it contains matter.
WATERMARK - This is a peculiar side-effect of her abilities. Though her skin heals quickly, if she feels fear when a wound is inflicted, it heals but remains as a scar.
FAHRENHEIT 451 - Unbeknownst to Aspen, she is capable of not only changing mass, but also using energy to control and create fires. This is a result of her demonic lineage that she knows nothing about, since she was raised in an orphanage. This ability only comes into play when she is under extreme physical, mental, or emotional stress. After it is used, Aspen becomes unconscious and remembers nothing about it.
Theoretically, she can learn how to control it, but at the moment, she still needs some training.
Other demonic abilities may reveal themselves in time, but at the moment, since she is unaware of this side of her, she cannot tap into it consciously.

don't make me laugh
you drunk little ass
or i'll call the staff
to bring in the gas
there's no escape
so don't even try
i brought some duct tape
to silence your cry
it's broken, your calf
all covered in glass
pain splits you in half
your blood tastes like brass
darkness will drape
over your eyes
which i will scrape
until you die
