Name: Saigai Mitsurugi
Age: Unknown, but roughly a millenium.
Gender: Female
Race: Disaster Goddess
Sex: Female
Appearance: Mitsurugi has long, flowing black hair adorned with trailing ribbons of a teal color. She wears a multi-layered robe of various colors, with the outermost being a stony gray and the inner ones alternating between a burnt orange and a darker teal. Longer strands of cloth trail from her sleeves as she walks, though they always seem to be stirred by the wind enough to not drag along the ground. When she maneuvers through combat, the flashing of the colors when her robes flutter call to mind storms, eruptions, and wildfires, and this seems to depend on her current attack. Finally, she has yellow eyes, and a mouth that seems permanently set in a faint frown, with a princesslike, regal countenance.
Personality: Surprisingly courteous and friendly to humans, though she often comes off as somewhat cool. She chooses her words carefully and sparingly, and speaks with gravity. She does, contrary to popular belief, possess a sense of humor, but she rarely displays it where anyone can see it. Her permanent frown doesn't help this impression, either. Unsurprisingly, she is quite sorrowful.

Perks:
Native Goddess of a Dead World: Mitsurugi isn't quite bound by the same rules as most living beings. As a native goddess she does not require food or sleep and has a limited need for air, instead taking sustenance from faith. (She doesn't get much of it, but she carries enough of the will of her own universe to continue existing.) Worship will make her stronger (bonuses entirely up to GM fiat, if it's ever in significant numbers), and she can appear wherever she is invoked by splitting her spirit, which does not harm her. This ability is somewhat degraded, however, so these manifestations are not powerful enough to fight. She can also invoke natural disasters or pacify them, but the former requires the conditions for a disaster to be present. (e.g., for an eruption there must be a volcano, for an earthquake there must be fault lines. Thunderstorms are easy but tornadoes and such require an already unfavorable atmosphere.)
Dancer on the Storms of Battle: Mitsurugi is agile and almost ethereal by nature, making it difficult to land solid strikes on her. Adds 2*DEX percent chance to dodge attacks targeted at her. (Does not apply to AoE, though she isn't affected by damage from her natural disasters.)
Speed of the Flickering Flames: Mitsurugi's long life and supernatural nature grant her unnatural speed. Adds her level to her DEX.
Strength of the Earth from Faith: Positive effects, magical and otherwise, have an effect similar to an influx of faith for Mitsurugi. Every positive buff on her causes her to gain a point of DEX and SYN.
Equipment:
Weapon: A Sword from a Dead World (Level 6)
Type: Melee
Properties:
Finesse - This weapon uses DEX instead of STR for attacks.
Focus - This weapon can be used as a focus to deliver ranged attacks.
Damage: 2d7+DEX
Armor: Disaster Goddess's Robes
Type: Light
Base Defense: +1 RES
Traits:
Resistant - The divine fabric rejects foreign intrusions, granting a 10% chance to negate status effects inflicted on the wearer.
Description: Mitsurugi's multicolored robes. They seem to have a strange resistance to the touch, though they don't bother the wearer. Otherwise they appear to be made out of fairly mundane cloth.
Bauble: A Sheath from a Dead World
Description: The sheath for Mitsurugi's sword. It's actually fairly plain.
Traits:
Soulbound - Contains the remnants of some souls from her world. Their lingering thoughts and wishes provide her with enough faith to maintain her existence, healing at a rate slightly lower than a human average if this is her only source of faith.
Actions:
Basic Attack -
Blade Barrage: Mitsurugi attacks with a series of sword strikes or a spray of magical bullets, dealing her weapon's damage+DEX.
Basic Defense -
Parry: Mitsurugi gracefully deflects incoming strikes, adding her DEX to her RES for the turn.
Storm Sign "Furious Tempest" - Attacks the area with a large quantity of bullets, dealing SYN damage to every enemy in the area. A fairly simple attack, but quick and fierce.
Earth Sign "Shattering Ground" - Fires blasts of energy that restrict a target's motion, then flash-steps in with a decisive strike of her blade. Deals weapon+DEX+SYN damage, and allows Mitsurugi an additional basic attack on the victim if it moves. (As in changes position. An enemy can still attack and such without penalty, given that it doesn't have to run around to do so.)
-Level 2: Adds SYN to the damage of this attack.
Earth and Fire Sign "Eruption" - Summons a large quantity of fiery bullets underneath the victim and blasts them upward, dealing SYN damage but ignoring all RES save specifically to fire, which is halved.
Fire Sign "Dancing Flame" Strikes a target while wrapping her sword in flame, making a basic attack and lowering the target's RES by half of her SYN on hit. A sudden, strong attack that leaves an opponent off-balance and vulnerable.
Last Word: "Catastrophe" - This attack is used if, and only if, Mitsurugi would be defeated by an enemy attack or status, and has a cooldown of 10 turns after activation. She remains at 1 HP instead for two of her own turns on activation, negating any further damage taken until those two turns have passed. During these two rounds, she attacks with a powerful barrage of sword strikes and bullets, hitting every enemy in sight for 2*SYN damage and a single enemy of her choice with two additional basic attacks. Mitsurugi cannot be healed and does not take any other actions besides pursuing a target while Catastrophe is active. After the second turn, Mitsurugi drops to 0 HP.
-Level 3: Allows two attacks per round while active.
-Level 5: Doubles the SYN portion of the damage.
Building Disaster (Passive) - Mitsurugi builds up Disaster equal to 25% of the damage she deals, capped at her level*15. Disaster may be converted to damage on a turn instead of using another attack.
-Level 2: Increases damage return to 20%.
-Level 3: Increases the cap by an additional five points per level.
-Level 4: Increases damage return to 25%.
0/5 starting actions, 0/10 action points
Inventory: A small pouch containing a few mementos, including two partially burnt ofuda, a simple gold band, and a magically preserved leaf.
