Character Bio of Atashi-Cloud....he's been afk for a long time, so the bio is re-located to here.^^
Name: Atashi-Cloud aka 'Kumo'
Age: roughly 19
Race: Lespuko/Human mix with a tad Uryuom(all synthetic)
Height(applies to default, adjusters are in decription of forms): 6'7" Digitigrade; 5'7" Natural
Weight: 129 - 240 (varies due to forms)
Hair: Always a bright powdery-white/silver color and has a small black-tipped bit of hair that always lands dead-center of his forehead.
Eyes: silvery-blue or blue-silver, whatever you see it as, the standard color is that of snow on a cold winter's night under a full moon.
Antennae: They are actually the one strand of hair that forms in front of his forehead, and like Grace they are invulnerable to damage externally.
Weapons/Items: His
sword, an over-the-shoulder bag, and one spare set of clothes.
Clothing: Usually has a large trench-coat like duster that he wears, and even though it is tattered, if one were to look carefully at it, they would notice that it is made up of several layers of alchemic metal woven into the fabric. This provides the stiffness needed for armor, yet is soft enough to double as a normal bit of clothing. His shirt and pants are always generic-brand stuff and he tends to keep it along the lines of silvery-grey or an off-whitish color. Rarely will you see him dress up in something gaudy or attractive, unless it is the direct result of a battle. He has a small tote-bag that carries his feminine clothes, of which he changes to when his curse is active. Other than the fact that his coat was given a polymimetic structure to change shape for whatever form he is, nothing usually changes much. His shirts have always been baggy so as to not restrict his powers.
Appearance for each form:
Default: Male: Is mostly Kitsunein in appearance, though some very detailed close-ups will reveal close human facial structures, which also includes some more human-like bone-structures in his arms and torso. He has a very light silvery-blue fur tone that graces his body, easily covering himself up entirely. The undertone for his fur is actually just a slightly darker shade of the original, and both fur colors usually extend to his other forms. As he resembles a Fox in most ways, the only issue is his face in this form, as it usually has a muzzle. Oftentimes, he will have it, but unless mentioned as not being formed, assume he has it. He has one distinguishing mark on his body, which is a star-shaped ice scar that penetrates through to his back. This is usually seen in all of his male forms.
Female: A female alternate of his male shape, this form is shorter by about a foot and a half, ruining his mostly intimidating physique by shaping curves to what would usually be hard muscle. Unlike the male form, he has no distinguishing scar, as it would interrupt his beautiful body and thus has been absorbed into the change. This form is originally part of a curse laid upon him that is discussed in his history.
Measurements(applied to all female forms):
Total Body size(changes by half the amount listed): 30"
Bust: 34"
Waist: 22"
Hips: 32"

Second pic of Femme Atashi
Human: Male: He looks very much more normal in this shape than anything else, as his hair looks more naturally suited to his more chiseled-out form. His face strikes a very stunningly-close resemblance to Tedd's in being effeminate, but lacks some of the softness as his brows are usually slightly furrowed. His skin tone is rather pale, though not enough to deem him along the lines of never going outside from any sort of skin condition. As he remains relatively the same height in human form, it is interesting to see how differently he reacts to shorter people this way as he is effectively his Digitigrade height.
Female: Variation of the male form, and is a lot more in the ranks of what Tedd would call the 'hot factor' of women. Hair usually drops down to the middle of her back and relatively stays the same style. She is also a foot shorter than the male form, making her height the effective Natural. Has not been known to be too much different in personality, save for lengthened periods of time.
Cheetah: Male: This form is definitely the sleekest of them all, even while male. Even though his raw power is changed to more suit the natural abilities of the form, he is still quite formidable due to his endurance and speed. His markings follow that of the ordinary animal, though fur coloration follows as this: black is the darker shade of his natural fur tone, and the orange and white sections are his natural fur tone. This leaves him looking more like a snow leopard than a cheetah, though it's clearly hard to mistake that due to the distinguishing marks on his face.
Female: This is a variation on the male version, and tends to be less bulky along the line of measurements(take down 10" from each). She tends to look shorter, but both shapes are actually the same average height in Digitigrade height(for Female, not Male). As this form is slightly heavier in weight, she tends to have more endurance this way and also takes a bit longer to slow down(fraction of a second actually). Her hair however, remains the same shortness and style so as not to mess with the obvious drag that would be created while running at top speed.
Jeremy: Male: This form closely resembles Grace's though with the only minor spiked-up style applied to his hair, which makes it look sorta like Vash the Stampede's. His fur tones are the same, save for the spikes are now the same color as his hair, and the marking tone is now his average fur tone. This is his slightly better fighting form, as it can easily do things that he normally can't do in most other forms(save for the dragon form). He has regenerative powers hidden beneath this so that the spikes can be used as slight projectiles/weapons when detached. Luckily, he has not used this form as of yet in the RP.
Female: The variation of the male Jeremy form, this one is a lot like Grace's, though the hair is instead slicked backwards to look like large spikes instead of actual bits of hair. This is the most interesting of her forms as it tends to be shorter and faster than the other Jeremy form, which is actually stronger and more durable. Despite these obvious differences, both forms have extremely good offensive capabilities. Her measurements actually increase slightly from this form(5" total to each section).
Frog: Male: This form looks the weirdest out of all of them due to the fact that her face does not change at all from looking human. This does not, however, excuse this from from being any different than the rest. His musculature has now warped tremendously to suit the water-going shape and is superbly streamlined to reduce water resistance. This also means that not a single bit of fur is on his body, so he will often have to be sitting in a pool, or some other water-like substance to keep from becoming disoriented. He can still breathe air in this form, but loses a lot of his natural dexterity gained in this form as it works better on rainy days, or days with high humidity. His deterity is so sharp, that it could be concieved as precognition with the speed he can react at. This is combined with an amazing jumping ability, though at the cost of pure strength and endurance. He has a very unique pattern for his skin, which is a very oddly soothing water-style mark on his back that is the same tone as his normal fur tone. The rest of his skin tones are based upon the darker tones for his fur.
Female: This is a very disturbingly similar variation to the male form and has a slightly different effect on people. As the Male frog form is soothing, this form is quite nauseating in the fact that her sweat glands are constantly keeping her body wet. This makes it easier to breathe, though also makes it a bigger issue of staying hydrated. Luckily, both forms have retained the ability to absorb water through the skin to help with breathing issues. She is much more agile in this form, but loses a bit of the male form's dexterity. Her measurements also take a small leap in change, giving a slightly different approach to streamlining the body for the water(8" total change).
Dragon: Male: The head is a very startling resemblance to a leviathan, but it has a group of crests at the back that extend backwards and look like a very oddly-twisted pair of horns/plates. The snout is unique as it doesn't have the traditional whiskers appearing, but instead carries two tufts of fur-like material that could best be described as scaly-fur, which extends only a few scant inches and tends to flatten when attacking. The head also has a few plates along the top of the snout, which are an indication of use for battling. The neck is fairly long and large, almost as big as the head, but matches the proportions of a leviathan's snake-like appearance. However, unlike some leviathans and dragons, he does not have wings for flight, and thus is mostly on the ground. The distance between his front legs and back legs is considerable, but judging that they are close than an average leviathan's it can be said that he was built for certain purposes of battle. The arms and legs themselves look very similar to talons, and are quite manipulative in objects and items, though not able to grab a sword without possibly breaking it. The claws are hooked fairly short though, but closer inspection would reveal serrated edges and a barbed tip, both of which are used for purely battle reasons. The tail is fairly long, and extends the rest of his seventeen foot-long length, the tip reminiscent of a fairly decorative spearhead, with two very small spikes on the end that only go out about an inch or so. The actual body looks quite muscularly built, hinting at a more dragon-like figure than leviathan, and the scales are shaped to intricately cover like perfectly made plate armor. This style extends to even the chest and underside, excepting the bottom of the snout which has a similar plate to the top covering it. The teeth are nothing to look at, as they are much less impressive than the scales covering, which look almost like really small barbed fangs covering the whole body. The tongue is just as unimpressive, though it has a very tough resin to it that prevents extreme cold and freezing to surfaces. A close look at the upper mouth reveals a lack of a pilot light, which would be used for fire. This form utilizes a form of ice breath, generated from deep inside a very cold internal temperature that matches the coldest of cold. However, as the scales are built to retain cold, there is no way you could freeze yourself by touching him. His ground to shoulder height is about eight feet if you don't count the size of the spikes. His coloration is that of snow, and he seems to glitter from all points of view no matter where you are.
Female: This form is a lot less masculine looking as the male form and is built entirely on sleekness and aerial streamlining. She has no wings and thus cannot fly, yet is able to move along the ground at a speed that would rival anything the world has yet to see. Her measurements are nearly gone in this form, so there is little to discern the male form from this form, aside from the obvious difference of every sharp point and jagged edge being made sleek and wind-resistant. This form was also built with battle in mind, but a different aspect. The talons are no longer tipped with serrated claws, but keen-edged claws that would rip off your very skin if pressed lightly against it. Her teeth are very impressive, and are so jagged and tough that they would break any arm in half, along with possibly breaking through the bone entirely if enough force is used. This form is shorter, but only by about three feet. This enables a better adeptness with smaller places and better travel through water and more space-cramped areas. She can also use ice-breath, yet it is more concentrated and can freeze anything into a solid iceblock in a few short seconds or half-minute at the most. The tail is the most unique as it has a round edge instead of being completely flat, indicating a use as an extra weapon in battle. Her coloration is quite different, being a deep and dark sapphire tone instead of the usual white and silver tones.
Squirrel: Male: this form lacks a lot in height and strength, but has made up for this with pure speed and dexterity as the strong points and focus of attack. As he has basically lost at least two full feet in height, this form is one of the smallest, requiring him to look up at anyone above his height level. This can usually frustrate him, as height is not much of an issue in his other forms(except for a few notable ones). As it is harder to use his favored sword in this form, he tends to use his powers more, indicating that this form is better-suited to elemental fighting than purely physical fighting. His markings are quite unique to a squirrel and are as follows: usual fur tones, with the markings as his hands looking like they are encased in fighting gloves and his feet completly covered in a bandage-like marking. There is a small band that runs across his tail in this form and it appears at halfway down.
Female: This form follows the same markings, though her hair is different as it is now longer and parted to the side. As this is a variation on the male form, it does possess the same latent abilities, but is easily more focused on magical energies and disturbances than the male form. Her measurements go down in this form to suit her size, mostly as a way of compensating for lack of strength(-10" total to all).
History: Atashi was the youngest out of all the assassins the company had made, and was barely old enough to stand up to Damien when he decided to break Grace and her brothers out. Atashi was among them, and even though he was powerful enough to stop Damien, he was nowhere near skilled enough to defeat him. This was bad, as Damien and Atashi had done lots of sparring practices together to increase their powers. The end result of one fateful sparring match ended with Atashi having to be rushed into a medical ward while Damien looked on in slight sympathy. Damien and Atashi were almost like brothers, as they both resented being given elemental powers and hated being called immortal to no end. During Atashi's time in the medical ward, one of the Nurse's despised Atashi's abilities to cope with everything so easily. She placed a curse on Atashi that swaps his gender by the night of a New Moon, thus rendering him that way for 24 hours.
This caused the rivalry between Atashi and Damien to escalate, and eventually, Damien managed to sabotage Atashi's shape-shifting powers granted him that Damien was jealous of. This resulted in a less-than effective version of what Atashi was supposed to be. He was considered a failure as an experiment and abandoned in a top-secret and undisclosed place. There, Atashi worked his way back to Moperville, only to discover Damien dead and his vengence left fulfilled by the one he had hoped wouldn't have to deal with it, Grace. Recently, he has regained his latent shape-shifting abilities due to a present from Tyveras, and has secretly sworn to repay this debt in any means necesary.
Abilities/Powers: Atashi is an elemental controller. Whereas Damien was given the power of fire to use, Atashi was given the opposite power of ice so that balance could be held. Despite this, Atashi has learned how to use his powers more effectively than Damien has, resulting in a rather interesting conflict. The only problem was that Atashi's powers never grew that much, and Damien's always grew, no matter how much they are used. This was the main reason why Atashi couldn't beat Damien back then, as he never knew that Damien had a limit to how much his body could hold. As Atashi is completely in control of his powers, there is no limit to his ability. This is adversely different from Damien's, which had an obvious limit. His ability to channel power so efficiently could be a result of Atashi's scar, but it hasn't been proven just yet.
Misc. Notes/Clarifications:
Regarding Ice Powers
The power itself is unlimited, but at a certain point it starts to drain him of strength. The limit is pretty high, and many people would assume that he has unlimited...the fact is that once he's made at least 140 metric tons(not sure yet, still tweaking, what with difference in weighing systems here in USA) of ice it stops being just latent power and drains his strength. Usually there's a kickback to begin with, so even a normal use of power ruins him. Only after at least a good night's sleep(has to be at least 12 hours+ depending on useage) will he recover enough to use some(not all) of his power. Plus, anywhere there is ice already existing does not drain his power.
Actual use of ice power...is just pure condensing and creation of ice. His focus is strong enough that he can usually create just enoug ice to melt a nearby fire, but that is it. The only exception to the limits are his Dragon forms, but those pack a built-in freezing spot to create the ice, hence any blow while he is readying an ice-breath shot will disrupt it, or at worst allow it out uncontrollably. Each of the forms based more around the elements have an easier time dealing with the ice powers, and those that are more battle-built are less likely to use said powers well.
The speed of each type of 'spell' or 'ability' varies depending on what it does...for instance, creation of an ice sword is usually done in one single shot and is easily done, whereas the larger Area Of Effect types of skills require at least some amount of charge time(anywhere from 2 minutes of charging[which can be done on the move] to an hour.).
Regarding fighting style
Atashi mainly uses his sword, but is also a master of martial arts(will specify styles later).
