Drawn by TheCoolHuman21

**Isamu Takao** (*勇隆雄*) is an original character made by the user TheCoolHuman21, mainly used for the Oc role-plays. Isamu is an in-training exorcist, in her second year of high school.

## Backstory

Coming from a lineage of a few exorcists, she was “blessed” with the ability to see supernaturals and possibly exorcise them. However much to her parent’s delight, her brother was also gifted with exorcist blood. All the attention was focused on her older brother instead, as he was much stronger than Isamu and showed more potential. Her parents believed that a “violent” task like exorcism shouldn’t be for girls, thus why her parents never bothered to invest in her training and instead focused on honing her brother’s skills. Which may or may be a factor in why her exorcism skills suck.

She grew up watching her brother train and waiting for him outside the shrine. Now that she’s in high school, she gets a little more freedom to sneak out and train on her own. Hopefully she can catch up on the time she’s lost during her younger years.

## Personality

Isamu is an easy outgoing person in general. She’s confident and overall friendly all around. She likes challenges and puzzles, and she likes thrills and simulating things. She’s determined and always earns things from hard work. She’s not really naturally talented in anything, it’s just that she studies and puts effort into bettering herself, making her seem capable on the outside. Except when it comes to exorcism, she feels like she’s gotten to a point where no matter how much effort she puts into training, her skill level won’t improve. This frustrates her a bit as she’s not good at the one thing that was supposed to make her “special” from everyone else.

One of Isamu’s biggest fears is heartbreak and not being desirable enough. Which is why she avoids committing to serious relationships. She does like to playfully tease/“flirt” with others, but never continues anything if she thinks the second party somewhat enjoys it(or is uncomfortable). She could overwhelm others a bit when she’s in a hyper mood. In the roleplay, she overall appears nonchalant and jokes a lot.

## Appearence

At 5’7”, she’s a fairly tall teenage girl. She has teal colored spiky short hair with two strands at the front of her hair that fade from black/dark gray into white. She has two braids at the sides of her hair that also fade from dark gray to white. She has a pair of big lit up green eyes, with one blue lightning bolt earring and leather bracelet she wears as accessories. She usually wears the Kamome Academy uniform with black ankle-high tights.

During her time at the shrine, she wears a plain kimono instead with her hair tied up.

## Abilities

### Seeing Supernaturals

Due to her exorcist blood, she can see supernaturals and beyond the Near Shore.

### Lightning and Weapons

She produces yellow colored lightning that she channels through her two daggers. While her lightning is not very powerful(thus why her lightning is yellow instead of white like the rest of the Minamoto family[with Teru being an exception]), she’s not bad in combat and throwing her daggers with accuracy.

### Bracelet

Like Teru, she wears a bracelet around her wrists that [in theory] can tie up supernaturals. Although instead of the usual bead bracelet, it exerts leather rope.

### Trivia

-Dislikes cherries and tomatoes
-Loves amusement and theme parks
-Likes puzzles and riddles
-She studies hard (doesn’t mean it produces the expected results all the time)
-Has a thing for geography and adventures
-Likes to look at maps and compasses because of it
