Tayen Takoda

Tayen is a Reaper in service to Honeydew's Boarding School

## ***Personality***

Some consider Tayen a narcissist. whilst she could be called that as she does think of herself higher than the rest, she is still respectful in most cases. She can keep her composure as she doesn’t have a short temper. though in some cases she can indeed lose her cool, though it’s not likely to happen.

Tayen dislikes those who break rules, those who lack self awareness and those who lack confidence. She isn’t keen on people who believe they’re higher than the rest, and despises people who believe they’re higher than herself. Though, she isn’t rude and keeps composure when speaking to those who act superior or break rules.

When given a task or objective, Tayen will act with no hesitance. She works well with people who comply with her orders as it makes the job easier. She works best at night as the nighttime makes her feel more lively, ecstatic and more confident. though her confidence is still basically through the roof. She finds close range combat easy, though she’s precise in just about any combat style. She can easily see through lies, though it’s not an ability, rather she just learned to scope out false claims and facades through experience. Manipulators and Liars are people she finds herself enjoying the most when *“putting them in their place”*. Tayen’s fluent movement, confidence, quick thinking and quick reactions put her at an advantage when in battle. Tayen also finds herself more active and quick to think when she’s figured out the person. so people who lack a decent facade are her easiest targets, though to her, just about all of her targets are rather easy. With Tayen’s past experiences with combat and protecting “her people” she gained/learned quite a lot of skill and technique. She’s learned to find off of skill and smarts rather than strength as it seems to be less of a hassle in her own eyes.

Tayen finds working in the day less amusing and more obnoxious. Though she is still rather amazing at combat in the day, she’s less lively. bright area’s make her blood boil, though if given a task that had to be done at day, she would still complete it without hesitating. People who act higher than her anger her as well, as she Believes she is a rather high being and shouldn’t be put under these “pesky children”. People who are able to fight back even after she makes her point across also make her less enthusiastic and excited about the fight as they just seem too… plastic for her. yet still, there will never be a time she gives up or disobeys an order.

## ***Backstory***

Not much is known about Tayen, though it’s been hinted at that she used to be treated as a higher up, a goddess even. however, it isn’t thought about much. She hasn’t said much about her own stories in the rare time she’s been seen around the school. though, a story was made up about the female, this story hasn’t been proven true or fake. However, in this story, it depicts Tayen as a goddess of some sort. or just a higher up being. It's said that her followers had been wiped out due to the *“non believer’s”* and ever since then she had gone into hiding as her followers bodies were found, but Tayen’s was not. Some say she had found herself in the moon, though those were all just rumors. Soon after these events occurred, she found honeydew, yet no one knows how she had gained her position as a reaper or when she gained it. Not much else is known about her, and everything that is “known” about her isn't even certain.

## ***Abilities***

✭Phantom Step✭

Phantom step allowed the user to phase through matter. Tayen can willingly walk through walls, phase into the ground, etc. she can push herself out by simply ending the phantom step. It's known after a few times of phantom stepping she is unable to do it again for a short period of time. she isn’t reliant on this ability.

✭The eyes of the unknown✭

looking into this Reaper’s eyes, the opponent will feel a wave of dread and anxiety fall across them. This dread and anxiety can last up to 12 hours depending on the intensity of Tayen’s emotion and the period of time her gaze had been connected with her opponents.

✭Tranquility of the Soul✭

This ability allows Tayen to calm the bystanders or victims of those who are scared or unsettled due to the one she is after. meaning, if an oc is the victim of a power played oc or an overpowered oc, Tayen has the ability to calm the victim or bystander for a certain amount of time.

✭Night Realm✭

The ability to enter a “mind space” and bring her opponent along. when using this ability, night will fall in the eyes of Tayen and her opponent. meaning, if it’s day, it will seem to become night for Tayen and her opponent(s) and any bystanders or people standing around will seemingly disappear. though, they are still indeed there. whilst using this ability, the bystanders are able to see the fight, though it will still appear day for them. it will seem as if the opponent and Tayen just phase through bystanders when in the night realm, meaning any bystanders will be unable to be injured by Tayen or the opponent as the fighters cannot see the people standing around. this nightfall will always seem to have a full moon at the start. during the fight, depending on how long it lasts. the moon’s cycle will occur. Once the moon gets down to a simple small crescent, after that rotation, the ability will end. however, it can hold up for hours, so it’d be hard to get out of that one. Tayen isn’t dependent on this ability and dislikes using it unless she’s excited.

## ***Weaponry***

✭The Night’s Gift✭

The moon's gift is a samurai sword. It's said to be Tayen’s main weapon used in combat. The sword is also known to contain the soul’s of Tayen’s past worshipers. These souls allow the sword to have a special ability. This ability being an ability that makes every cut Tayen makes a clean one that enhances the pain and burning of the wound for up to 3 minutes each wound. This ability can also make an opponent's limb or body part immobile for quite some time with as little as one strike depending on where Tayen hits. It also gives the blade a blue-ish aura. Tayen is dependent on this ability and this sword.

✭Enchanted One✭

The Enchanted one is a weapon that seems as if it’s a normal japanese folding fan. though, it isn’t. This fan is said to be able to be used as if it were a blade. it can make precise cuts, though it isn’t as durable as the sword is and has no special abilities save for the fact it can make precise cuts, though the cuts are precise due to technique rather than ability.

✭Night time stars✭

Throwing stars. That's all night time stars are, just simple throwing stars. she keeps many of them on her for long-ranged combat when melee isn’t an option. though it’s rare that she isn’t able to get in close range of her opponent.

✭Blinding Lights✭

Blinding lights are a simple flash bomb that can blind the opponent for up to a minute depending on how close they are to the bomb when it goes off. Tayen enjoys thinking of the flash as the light of the stars. and it may be possible that it is.
