Izumo No Okuni

The skill that protects one from magical effects grants, it cancels magical effects altogether, rather than reject is like the inherent resistance effect that all maguses have.

The ability that allows for action even in the absence of the Master. At higher ranks, it is also possible to remain for extended periods in this world without an established contract.

A Caster-class skill, It is the skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use. Usually, this skill will require time to gather components and manufacture items, but Okuni can sacrifice quality to create realistic (but fragile) looking replicas quickly.

Description: A skill that is proof that one has the blessings of the Goddess Benzaiten, allowing one to perform actions that would never have been able to perform normally.     This skill has a higher chance of success when one performs skills related to the domains of the Goddess in question.    Lore: Benzaiten is a Japanese Buddhist Goddess who originated from the Goddess Sarasvati, she was known to be the Goddess of everything that flows, from water to time and even speech and music. She is also known to be both a protector deity and one of the seven lucky gods.

Description: An alluring dance performed with a fan and a sword that draws the eye of the target, capturing their attention with soft and beautiful movements. This skill cannot be resisted with Magic resistance but with either sufficient mental resistance or the Madness Enhancement skill, as there is no magic involved in the use of this skill.     Consecutive use of this skill on a target will weaken the recovery time and the effect of the skill.    Lore: In her early years, when Okuni was still a Miko in the Shrine of Izumo, she began to draw attention during her time soliciting for funds in Kyoto by doing a rather sultry adoption of Nembutsu Odori, which was a rather secular folk dance that was religious in origin, along with performances comedic skits about lovers quarrels in public places and trysts with men and prostitutes.

Description: A skill that is that could be considered a poor man’s Morph or Shapeshift, where Izumo no Okuni quickly disguises her ‘form’ to that of another person (usually to that of another heroic spirit), by changing her clothes, masks, and equipment to appear similar to the heroic spirits she is imitating.     When imitating another heroic spirit, her parameters will receive a boost that allows her to imitate some of the more physical feats that the Heroic Spirit can perform. She receives further boosts if the stories a heroic spirit features in have been adapted into Kabuki plays.    “Oh my, I didn’t know so many heroic spirits had such scandalous clothing...”    In the game, this is represented by the color of her Haori changing, each color corresponding to the command card selected.    Lore: In Kabuki theatre, Shumei is a naming ceremony, wherein a person receives a new stage name, along with the roles that the stage name holds, the usual way they receive a stage name is from the lineage of their Grandfather, Father or Mentor.     While Hikinuki is the act of changing a costume quickly while on stage. This is usually done with a costume with multiple and separate players; when the top part of the costume is pulled away, it will reveal a different costume (and as such, a different role) to the audience. 

A quiet and gentle woman who prefers action over words, although she can come off as absentminded and ditzy due to her demeanor, she is, in actuality, a sharp and cunning woman.    She hides her shrewdness underneath her womanly charms, to appear to others as a simple dancer who merely flaunts her attractive body. In truth, she is very quick-witted and calculating, able to easily manipulate the gazes and attention of others as she works towards her goals.    Despite this though, she is not a cold woman, her kindness that she feels towards others is genuine, her secret wish is to bring joy and entertainment to others. 

Okuni appears as a beautiful well-proportioned woman with fair skin, free-flowing dark hair, and piercing brown eyes, she wears a traditional Miko’s outfit (a hakama with a white shirt and red bottom wooden geta for her feet) and wields a simple sword in her left hand and holds a wooden red fan in her right.

Gentle, kind, and caring, yet Okuni has experience in taking up the big sister role for many types of women. So even if she says that she is the servant, the feeling of being the younger sibling will nevertheless remain.

My Gentle Companion   (A beautiful sword is planted in the middle of a shining riverbed, the water flows around it as the wind’s gentle breeze causes the rope tied to its pommel to flutter in the wind.)    Description  Not every weapon is for war, not every weapon is used to take away a life, sometimes, even a weapon can bring smiles to the faces of others. 

While nothing concrete is known about Izumo no Okuni, it is said that she was the daughter of a blacksmith and was born during the early 1500s. It is further speculated that she was either a Miko or was, at the very least, extremely religious, as she went to Kyoto to solicit funds for the Izumo Grand Shrine, where she gained attention for being extremely skilled and alluring.    Around 1603, she began performing on the dry riverbeds of Shijōgawara and at the Kitano Shrine, while gathering and training various female outcasts to be in her troupe to aid her in her performances. Graining even more notoriety and, eventually, copycats in various places, most notably in brothels that catered to wealthy men.    Eventually, with the help of Nagoya Sansaburō, who was alleged to be her lover, she was able to make the art of Kabuki grow and evolve until her name was known throughout the entirety of Japan.    She is said to have retired around 1610, after which her location and date of death become entirely unknown, with many sources claiming many different things, but none so far have been widely accepted. 

Has the potential to be in the center of an event, one similar to Agartha perhaps, but definitely better...    While not the strongest servant out there, she is perhaps the most versatile, being able to carry out multiple roles like a master actor in a play...    In Chaldea, she can often be found in either the library, where she reads up on various stories to imitate, or with the various characters who star in Kabuki plays (Such as Ushiwakamaru, Benkei, Kiyohime, and Kijo Koyo).
