The Jade Emperor/God

Username: misha soupness
Character Name: Takami Sohma
Zodiac Sign: Jade Emperor/God
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Height: 6’
Apperance: [x]
Orientation: Bisexual
Crush: N/A
Living Arrangements: Main House
Bio: Takami is very much like Akito minus a few differences. He doesn’t get sick often and thus has a bit more energy than the previous God. Recently, he enrolled to join the school the rat and the cat go to, and things are bound to heat-up. He's a possessive person and when things are taken away from him, he can be compared to a child throwing a temper tantrum. This is only because he likes things to stay the same and not be changed. The thought of his zodiac loving someone more than him infuriates him. The God is fairly use to getting what he wants and fast. He could be described as a selfish, spoiled, brat. Takami likes to be in control and if he's being controlled by someone else, he'll get more than angry.

Because of his sickness and curse, people don't expect him to live for much longer. He probably won't live past the age of 30.

Takami is very hurtful towards the Sohma children, especially when they fall in love. If he finds out things are happening behind his back, he becomes angry and usually takes out his anger on the person directly. No one dares to defy him though because he is "God".

Takami especially loves tormenting the 'cat'. Calling him a "*****" isn't too far from the truth and he takes out his frustration on the cat (and sometimes the other Sohma children) in a way they'll never forget. He's not stopped though because the others fear him, even if the others become emotionally scarred from the awful experiences. Takami has more than one way to torture the Sohma children and is not past using those methods to get them to obey him.

As odd as it seems, Takami also has multiple personality disorder. He could be a happy, child-like Sohma one minute (which he then likes to call himself 'Taki') or a terrifying, controlling person the next. This happens to be the personality that controls him the most. The one named 'Takami'. (Think of it as when HatsuHaru goes 'Black' and 'White'....it's kind of like that.)

His parents are probably to blame for his upbringing. His father was a controlling person and often told Takami it was important that he controlled the zodiac because he was God. His mother often told him not to play with the zodiac children because his job was simply to watch over them and discipline when they disobeyed. They gave him all he wanted and more.

Before he was introduced to Jun, his parents often told him how the God and rat were naturally closer to each other compared to the other zodiac. They also warned him about the cat and how the cat wanted to take everything away from him. Takami naturally took a liking to Jun and naturally showed hatred towards the cat because of his upbringings.

At the age of 7, Takami’s mother died from pregnancy complications. Rumors were that Takami wished to remain the only child and pushed his mother down the stairs. Other rumors were that he spiked her drink with a mixture of cleaning chemicals. Since then, it was only his father and maids raising him. The maids did as they were told for fear of something happening to them.

Takami’s father rarely spent time with his son; he was always away on business trips. Three years later, his father died from a plane crash. Everyone thought it was eerie that Takami didn’t shed a tear at neither of his parent’s funeral. It had made them all wonder if he simply planned the whole thing so the whole estate could belong to him.

Extra: Takami secretly thinks the cat as a threat of losing all his zodiac. In the past, the cat was the secret to breaking the curse. He fears the idea of all his zodiac leaving him once the bond is broken and thus thinks it is important that the cat remember its’ place. If verbal or physical means don’t work on getting his zodiac to obey him, Takami always has other methods.

The Rat

Username: Kisitiene
Character Name: Jun Sohma
Zodiac Sign: Rat
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Height: 6' 3"
Apperance: Jun
Orientation: Bisexual
Crush: None yet.
Living Arrangements: Lives in the main house with the God.
Bio: Jun was born in a slightly abusive family. But not in the way many people would think. Because he was the rat, his family thought he would be the closest to the God. After all, it was the rat who first entered the banquet hall, he must be the most important! So his parents used his curse of the rat to try and cozy up to the God. They figured that if they were close to him, they could abuse his authority a little. They would be able to do this and that and nothing would matter! No one could do anything to them. Because if they did, they would have the power of God behind them.
It probably might have worked, too... Or maybe not... But they would have gone through with it if Jun wasn't the kind of child he was. Jun was, and still is, very argumentative. He hates to be told what to do and doesn't like to follow crowds. He likes to do things his way and prefers to work alone. He finds that when he works alone he can get more things done and do them in a lot better quality.
Finally a few bad things happened, all his fault of course, and his parents sent him away. They were through with dealing with his unemotional childish angst and sent him to live with the God. His life wasn't so bad there...except for that damn cat!
Extra: He almost always has a tie on.
He hates cheese.

The Cat

Username: Shia47
Character Name: Fumiko Sohma
Zodiac Sign: (Black) Cat
Age: 16
Sex: Female
Height: 5'4''
Apperance: [x]
Orientation: straight (girls are too complicated)
Crush: none yet.
Living Arrangements: Forced to live in the main house, despite trying to run away often.
Bio: Her mother was terrified. Her father was speechless. Had they done something wrong? Was their some evil sin that they had committed that was so horrible, they were cursed to bring this awful creature into existence? Needles to say, Fumiko was not accepted into her family all too well. Her parents, although happy that they had suddenly gained status in the family, wanted nothing to do with this...creature. When asked if they could bring her to the main estate for Takami, they were happy to leave her.

It was since then that Fumiko has lived a life of torment. Often Takami would force the maids to keep her prisoner in her rooms for days, only letting her out if he wanted 'to play'. The cat lived a very sheltered life, not seeing much outside the estate other than school. Her teachers would always wonder why she wouldn't show up for days, and often come back with several severe injuries, yet never spoke a word about it. The Sohma family was a curious one indeed, and many didn't want to deal with them if they didn't want to.

The injuries and absences were from Takami. Takami often took anything and everything out on her when having a tantrum, and often Fumiko would be hospitalized for days afterwards. The cat has many physical and mental scars, and has created complexes about her body. She believes herself to be 'unpure' and has grown her hair for cover when need be.

Though it would seem such a past would break one's spirit, Fumiko has a fiery soul and will get through anything, if even through sheer will power. She likes to appear tough to make up her lackings, and is quite proud of her athletic abilities. She's also extremely competitive, mostly around Jun, and is not afraid to act bluntly.

Since the last year of middle school, Fumiko has gone through a rebellious stage. She often escapes out her window at night and leaves Sohma property for nothing more but the sake of leaving, or even to get into a fight when her anger is built up. She has been caught on more than one occasion, and punished severely each time. Still, the feline is tired of merely existing, and is trying to make something of herself. Even if it means taking a few beatings on the way.

Because of her sheltered life, Fumiko lacks friend-making skills and is not good with modern technology. Although she can interact with classmates, she usually keeps to herself, putting her concentration on schoolwork that keeps her distracted from thoughts of what might happen when she returns home...

Extra: Though she would be the last to admit it, Fumiko is simply looking for someone to help her through the rough times. She could probably never think herself worthy enough for a 'romantic partner' because of her past with Takami, and has even developed a fear of other's touch. Despite all that, Fumiko would die for someone she could lay her head in his/her lap and cry herself to sleep.

Fumiko has also made friends with a stray cat that she often sees on her walk to school, whom she decided to name Kyon after the stories she heard of a previous cursed cat.

The Dog

Username: Tohya-chan
Character Name: Aya Sohma
Zodiac Sign: Dog
Age: 21
Sex: Female
Height: 5'6
Appearance: [x]
Orientation: Bisexual
Crush: None, as of yet.
Living Arrangements: In a small sector of the Sohma estate, with her younger sister sometimes.

Bio: As it turns out with several of the Zodiac, Aya was seen as unusual and disgusting by her parents. Her parents tried very hard to accept their daughter's abnormality, treating her with delicacy and refusing to touch her. But her father noticed how miserable her mother was with Aya's presence, and he eventually opted to abandon her at the main house of the Sohma estate. There, she was past on to different relatives who lived there. Now that she was out of their hair, her parents moved on and later had another child, a normal daughter.

When she first moved to the Main House, she was only about four years old. From that point on, she promised that she would not forgive her parents for their cruel abandonment. She became very sympathetic of the other cursed children living there, who had also been disowned by their parents. Despite all this, Aya was a happy to have lived in the main house, and truly cares for the other cursed Sohma children. Though, she was a bit frightened by Takami and his meanness towards the other kids, even though he is a few years younger. If she wasn't busy protecting the other Zodiac, she would be in her room, drawing or flipping through fashion magazines.

Aya's mother died a year after the birth of her second daughter, leaving her father alone with the infant girl. Completely depressed now with the loss of his beloved wife, he took up hard drinking, barely able to take care of the young child. Aya, who was only in her late teens at the time, decided that she would take care of her baby sister, seeing that her father was completely unstable. Fearing legal matters, he reluctantly agreed to the compromise, under Aya's strict conditions of staying out of both of their lives. But because she was is too young to take care of an infant on her own, her little sister lived with their aunt and uncle, that live in town.

Aya works as a fashion consultant, and is currently working on her own line of clothing. She currently lives in the Sohma estate, along with her six year old sister, Saeko [x], who visits very often. Saeko completely accepts and is not frightened by her older sister's Zodiac form, and promised to keep it a secret. She is completely content having a dog around the house.

Extra: Aya is, strangely enough, practically the female version of Shigure. She is a bit suggestive, and on the flirty side...with a slight interest in younger men and sometimes women (but not too much younger.) She typically doesn't date people her own age. Yet, she is very loyal to her loved ones, and is a great older sister. Aya is a slight gossip, and very eccentric, liking to playfully tease others.

The Dragon

Username: Lady_of_laputa
Character Name: Kohaku Sohma, 'Haku'
Zodiac Sign: DRAGON (In Japanese Mythology, can be translated to 'sea horse' and thus, she turns into a purple seahorse)
Age: 20
Sex: Female
Height: 5'11
Appearance: [ X ] Kohaku Sohma.
Orientation: Straight
Crush: Although she would never admit it to anybody, nor let it show around Takami, Rei's intense and towering presence holds a particular brand of fascination for the dragon girl.

Living Arrangements: A beautiful, yet modest residence of her own on the estate. Very close to the main house, for accessibility. The most endearing part of her home is the flourishing and well-kept gardens, where the younger Sohmas often come to play.

Bio: Kohaku's situation was unique. Generally, people believe that upon finding out a child has the Sohma curse, parents will either shun the child, or become overprotective and shower affection upon it. Neither were the case for the young Dragon.
Her mother and father never looked upon her as a 'special' child, and if anything, the curse increased their expectations with regards to her schooling, future career, and standing in the family. It seemed as though she was destined to inherit the ambitious, competative nature...with or
without a Zodiac curse to blame. The high standards she sets for herself can often become an obstacle in daily life, and always had been, because the honest and cruel truth is nobody is 'god' but Takami.
As soon as she hit highschool, Kohaku knew that the passionate energy towards all things around her was something she could not ignore, and thus left Japan to study literature and history in several countries, including England, China, Germany, and France. Her mind was never too filled, and she learned many languages, as well as
studied the different ways of life various cultures participated in. This journey of 'self-discovery' was frowned upon, due to the uncertainty of the girl's transformations, but she distanced herself from relationships, in order to avoid trouble for the family. Although the girl never speaks unless it is necessary, anybody who knows anything about the Sohmas knows that
the wise Dragon is by far one of the most eccentric members, powerful in mind and spirit.

Although one might mistake her ambitious energy as egocentrism at times, there is no better friend to have. Both her biggest weakness and strength lie in the fact that the girl is soft-hearted, and this gives others an undeniable advantage. This sensitive compassion combined with the bravery years of being alone and facing her parents' expectations of her, makes Haku ideal secret-keeper, and friend. She is one of the few who are unafraid to stand against Takami's word, should she see error or flaw in it. There have been several times when
she was close to being hurt by him, but was able to weave her way out of it with a web of calming and flattering words. His controlling nature doesn't daunt her, and this makes her foolishly stubborn, but courageous, all the same.

Nobody quite knows what she does, besides study and read, but she is often seen helping out in the main house, and will spend nights there, locked away in a room. Her extensive schooling, and knowledge of languages, as well as powerful and charitable disposition come in handy when Takami needs help solving family issues. Kohaku is very reasonable, and has been known to be sent specifically to break up fights between other members of the family, taking them aside and using charismatic charm to make them see sense.

Her feelings towards others are always calm and rational, and this makes it difficult for her to spark any 'special' relationship with another. She treats them as more of a problem to be solved with logic, rather than emotional attachments, and the other members of the Zodiac find her high expectations too exhausting.

Extra: Her travels instilled in her a preference for Western Cuisine, and her eccentricity shines through her homemade clothing. She is not bad at sewing, because she'd never allow herself to be bad at anything, but the fabrics and types of garments she chooses suit a peculiar taste. She can be seen walking around in anything from Ornate Brocade Kimonos, to pinstripe suits.
One of her vices is Strawberries. She has a small garden out back where she grows an assortment of foods, including a whole patch of them, and makes ice cream from them for Emi. She also loves to play with the younger members, letting her guard down for a more childish feeling, the expectation-free childhood she never had.
She grudges the rat for being favorited, but never shows it. Her personal journal is where she keeps all the emotions she finds inappropriate or unsuitable, and it has gone missing several times, scaring her into hiding her deepest thoughts in loose leafs of paper, tucked in various volumes of books. She is a little sensitive about her form, mainly because EVERYBODY laughs, but has learned to appreciate the silliness of it.

The Snake

Username: Isnook2
Character Name: Rei Sohma, 'Rashiel'
Zodiac Sign: White Serpent
Age: 23
Sex: Male
Height: 6'7"
Appearance: Rashiel
Orientation: Bi, leaning to males
Crush: - Protective of Takami
Living Arrangements: His own house in the main estate. Its pretty grand, like a mini-mansion, mostly because the rooms hold medical supplies and libraries; and also because the snake really likes fine living.
Bio: In Rei's mind, his parents don't exist, or so he tells himself. His mother died in childbirth, his father stayed around for a while but then took off to Russia when he became wanted by the Yakuza. He used to be a quiet child, doing well in his studies and occasionally helping the servants with some of their chores, simply because he needed the human contact. When Takami was born he went to visit constantly, sometimes creeping in as a snake to avoid meeting his parents. The truth was, the sight of the god as a baby kind of frightened him, and to think the Jade Emperor would be dying earlier than he! He was disturbed by it and made it a point to watch over Takami during his free time, especially if the child was playing or wandering around in the gardens.

He studied to become a doctor, hoping to be able to let Takami live his life with as little illness as possible. Skipping a few grades, he went away to Russia to enter medical school (because its not really possible to skip grades in Japan) and see if he could track down his father. Things became a sordid mess and he had to flee back to Japan, without a license. He ended up jobbing for the Yakuza instead, his skills improving until the crime lords really -paid- for the gurantee of life under his scalpel. As an unlicensed surgeon he tends to work at night, occasionally being driven away by black cars only to return in the late morning looking exhausted. He refused to help the family doctor because he enjoys cutting, and its hard not to admit that he's a genius at it.

He had been avoiding internal medicine as much as possible until Takami announced that he was going to school. Fearing the worst, Rei decides to job as the school doctor as well, a negotiation that was easily arranged with the vice-principal and with some altered documentation. If anyone decides to cross his way, well, the ability to erase and reconstruct memories comes in handy, which has helped him survive in the Yakuza world countless times.

He prefers to portray the image of the sullen silent pillar in front of strangers and clients. It is only with family members that are closer to his age that he shows his true self, an elegant creature, prideful, articulate and purposeful.
Extra: He has a whole collection of colorful bettas and he breeds them. He used to have a mouse when he was young, but he ate it. The next pet had been a baby quail, it lasted two weeks before disappearing as well. Since then he's had orders not to go too near to Jun the rat. He has a slight addiction to tea and wine, both of which have competitive effects of course. He hates swimming, because if the water is too cold he's bound to turn into a snake. Sometimes he takes delight in the simple childish pleasures of life, as if to make up for the childhood he lacked.

The Boar

Username: MC Starry Nights
Character Name: Chou Sohma
Zodiac Sign:Boar/pig
Age: 14
Sex: Female
Height: 5'0
Apperance: [ X ]
Orientation: Bisexual
Crush: None, doesn't make friends easily.
Living Arrangements: Moves from house to house on the main estate, imposing on the other Zodiac members for shelter away from home.
Her actual house is on the Main Sohma estate, but she only goes back if Takami forces her to.

Bio: Don't be fooled by the sweet face. Chou Sohma is nowhere as nice or graceful as she appears to be at first glance.
As so many have before, her parents, while glancing upon the tiny pig-like animal, swore to never let anything hurt or damage their precious child. Unlike the others who were coddled and spoiled, though, Chou went in the opposite direction.
Furious, rebellious, and ungrateful for the love her parents showered upon the child daily. Even as a tiny little girl, she resented them, and blamed the awful curse on their past behaviour. It's all their fault, she'd scream at Takami year after year, trying to explain why she'd never go back.
Since she was just about Emi's age, she travelled from house to house, begging the other members of the Zodiac and their parents to let her stay with them, anywhere but there! Some would agree, but after months of dealing with the girl's blatant disregard for authority and destructive habits, they'd go to Takami
and beg him to make her see sense. Chou would cycle every couple of years, forced to live in the main house as punishment inbetween long visits with her 'relatives'.

Puberty only added to the psychological and emotional mess! As she neared 12, her tiny body began to develop, and out of spite for all the manners and good her parents had attempted to instill in her, the child began to dress inappropriately, smoke, and leave school on a regular basis...only to be found, shivering and cold, transformed
and huddled in corners of neighboring yards, parks, and buildings. She has no friends, and all the older Sohmas are angered easily, having to act as 'stand-in' mothers and fathers for the tough girl. Even the younger members don't often say much to her, so her days are spent solitary and alone, indulging in whatever chaos Chou sees fit.
Despite all this bad, there is good, if one will only look past the sharp edges. Just because she is lacking in friends, doesn't make her any less loyal when she has found one. She devotes herself to those she loves, and only they are allowed to interact with the 'softer' side of her. Her honesty is unfailing, and she can always be counted on to
speak her mind, no matter how much trouble it will get her into. She causes problems, but impulsively and quickly moves to help others solve their own, should they chose to confide in her. Imtimidating on the outside, the Boar has her gentle 'moments' and honestly just wants the other members to feel for her-they're all in the same situation, after all, and how could they
NOT be angry?

When the girl feels emotions, she does nothing to hide them. She is very impulsive and although she despises to attend school, actually adores learning. It just takes some effort to move past the years of anger she's put into making herself stand out among the other members. At school, many of the 'normal' kids admire her outwardly ridiculous defiance, and although she would never know it,
admire her for her 'courage' to be different. She stands up for herself, and when she decides to do something, puts all of her strength into it.

Extra: The only person she's spent the most time co-existing with is the cat, because they both call themselves 'outsiders'.
The sheep and her have very similar behavior at times, but they don't dare interact. Her favorite food is mangos, however rare they are, and
she hates being called a pig, or being laughed at. She likes to read gossip magazines, to stay in tune with what's going on outside the Sohma world, and honestly gets along better with 'normal' humans than her own family. Is a big, secret fangirl of Japan's 'Idols'.
Her body is tiny and frail, and she gets sick quite often, from wearing herself out with an overload of stress and emotion.
She's actually only broke ONE screen door, but is clumsy and often bumps into tables, costing the family china dishes and other material damage.
Although she's young, her favorite form of 'rebellious' action is to make definite sexual advances on members of the family she knows will be made uncomfortable by it, and laughing.
When she was 7, she had a best boy friend who actually knew the secret, but he moved away and she never told anybody.

The Rabbit

Username: Dreeka
Character Name: Emi Sohma
Zodiac Sign: Rabbit
Age: Five
Sex: Female
Height: 3'3"
Apperance: [x]
Orientation: N/A
Crush: N/A
Living Arrangements: With her parents on the Sohma estate.
Bio: After her parents discovered their precious daughter to carry the Sohma curse, they decided to have no more children in order to focus their attention on their little Emi. She's been sheltered her whole life and is currently being home schooled as it is being debated if she shall ever attend public school. Like the typical rabbit, Emi is very affectionate towards the ones she cares about but becomes a bit shy when it comes to meeting someone new. And like most five year olds, she is very playful, hyper, and sweet. She spends a lot of her time up at the main house, loving to be around the other members of the curse so she does not feel so alone.
Extra: She loves to play dress up, often trying to guilt the other Sohma's to do the same. She is currently going through the afraid of the dark stage and really despises eating vegetables, especially broccoli.  

[misha soupness]

The Ox

Username: Antebellum Overtime
Character name: Katsuo Sohma
Zodiac Sign: [ Ox ]
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Orientation: Bisexual
Height: 5’8”

Appearance: [x]

Crush: None, at the moment.

Living arrangements: Has recently moved into the Main House. Has only been living there for about six months, and still has yet to unpack half of his belongings, which sit still in cardboard boxes inside his room. His mother, protective as she is, only allowed him to move out of their own home recently—even only to go as far as the Main House, the most protected and populated building in the entire Sohma Estate. Katsuo doesn’t think he likes the Main House much, but it has to be better than his previous residence.


Bio: Born to ‘Outside’ Sohmas, Katsuo’s parents had no idea about the curse before they gave birth to him. However, when their newborn son turned into a soft black and white calf in his mother’s arms, there was, of course, no choice but to tell them about the Zodiac Curse, and induct them into the oftentimes twisted politics of the Inside.

Much like a few other members of the Zodiac, Katsuo’s family become over-protective of their child. With him, it was to the point of extremity. His mother, in particular, was constantly watching him, monitoring him more carefully than even a member of the Zodiac should warrant. When he was of the right age to start school, his mother deemed him ‘not ready,’ and therefore kept him home another year, under her all too severe eye. She had to be persuaded by Katsuo’s father to even let him go to school the year after. As such, Katsuo has always been a year older than other children in his class. He currently attends the same school as the Rat, the Cat, and God, and is in the same class as Jun, the Rat.

Katsuo has always felt smothered, throughout his life, because of the chokehold his family—again, particularly his mother—keeps on him. He was brought up as his mother wished, he got good grades as his mother wished, he joined the clubs his mother wished and did the things his mother wished. He felt as though he had no will of his own—he was constantly being controlled. Only recently has he been able to convince his mother to allow him to move out of their home, and into the Main House. He tried to persuade her to allow him a home of his own (even within the Sohma Estate), but she would not have it. It was the Main House, or he would remain with them.

Needless to say, Katsuo moved into the Main House a little less than a week later.

Though most would find living at the Main House oppressive, Katsuo feels much more free there than living with his immediate family. Of course, the Main House’s environment isn’t what he wanted by any means, but he prefers it to his old home. His newly achieved independence (well, as independent as one could be and still live in the Main House, the realm of the Jade Emperor) has led him to expanding his life beyond the borders of what his mother previously allowed him. He has begun to dress as he wants to, do the things he wants to, and even get into a little trouble now and then.

Being the Ox of the Zodiac, Katsuo is a very reliable person. He doesn’t tell secrets once they are told to him, and he rarely tells lies. However, his honesty is a double-edged sword, as honesty also leads to complete bluntness. He would be the one to go to if you wanted a straightforward and truly sincere answer to a question or opinion about something, without the complimentary sugar-coating many people give.

It would be a lie in itself, however, to say that he never uses his reputation for being honest in his favor. On the occasions when he does lie, he almost always gets away with it, because people usually don’t expect anything but the bare truth from him.

He is generally clam and patient, but in addition, Katsuo is also quite stubborn and opinionated, and he won’t fail to defend himself against others if they challenge him—though he has a more passive-aggressive style when he wants to get his point across than an outright violent one. However, if push comes to shove, Katsuo won’t hesitate to become outright angry, and though times this absolute rage surfaces are few and far between, when he is in one of these moods, he is a force to be reckoned with.

Extra:
- One of the few choices his mother ever allowed him was about the style of his hair. When he was younger, he made the decision to keep it long, and has stuck by his selection throughout his life.
- The ox he becomes when he transforms is long-haired, as well.
- He actually bears no resentment towards Jun for being the Rat—the ‘favorite’ of God, who literally rode on the back of the Ox to get to his position. The reason for this is simple: Katsuo doesn’t want to be the favorite. Better Jun than him, in his opinion.

The Tiger

Username: Dreeka
Character Name: Touya Sohma
Zodiac Sign: Tiger
Age: 15
Sex: Male
Height: 5'4"
Apperance: [x]
Orientation: Bisexual
Crush: None
Living Arrangements: With his grandfather on the Sohma estate.
Bio: It could be either his tiger personality or him getting into his rebellion stage as a teenager, but Touya is the reckless and restless type. He is often doing things without thinking it through, not really caring about the consequences. He has a quick temper and is not afraid to speak what is on his mind, being often sarcastic. The boy also likes to make himself the center of attention at times. Touya does have a softer side to him though, which he often tries to hide from everyone, as he can be extremely loyal to those that actually are close to him.

He currently lives with his grandfather since his behavior was getting too much for his parents to handle and thought the senior could teach Touya some discipline before his bad habits carried on to his younger siblings. Touya has one brother and one sister, ten and seven respectfully, and so the over protective brother is in his nature.

Besides having to attend public school, which Touya was sent in an attempt to get more socialize, he has to deal with his grandfather's long list of everyday chores. But when he does manages to get some free time, he spends time with his music, finding the guitar to be the perfect way to express himself and relieve the stress.
Extra: With the recent hormones kicking in, Touya has become quite flirtatious and is literally a tiger on the prowl, even though no one special has caught his eye yet.

Orientation: Bi
Crush: N/A
Living Arrangements: She lives in the Main estate "inside" Since she has no immediate family.
Bio: Kyoko was born on an American base, so therefore she's an American citizen. Not really. Her father was an American Yankee while her mother was a Japanese princess. More or less. Her mother died while giving birth to her, thus leaving Kyoko in the hands of an American Japanese man. Her mother told him of the curse before she died, but her father loved her even though she turned into a horse. She lived a joyous life with her father. He was a kind man, and though he wasn't Sohma, he knew of the curse. She was about eight when her father died. Kyoko had been in the care of her Aunt in an American base, and when she found out the news she was devastated. She found that she was alone in the world.
Of course, that's before a man she didn't know showed up to take her away to her family in Japan. She was surprised to find that she was actually part of the Sohma family. So the cheery girl was taken to Japan to be with them. It was nothing that she thought it would be. First there was that 'God' boy, whom insulted the living daylights out of her, and her hand had found it's way in his mouth. Of course, she only got in one tiny punch with her tiny fist, and he more or less beat the crap out of her, then kinda... fainted on top of her. She was scolded severly by everyone. She felt horrible afterwards, and even begged for Takami's forgiveness, though, she found that his forgiving side wasn't all that forgiving. She was on his s**t list for a while, but then stopped toying with her for a while when he found no fun with her. She feels some kind of bond with all the zodiac members. Kyoko was a very spunky girl. She's always having fun and being fun. She's a very cheerful and stubborn girl. The years went by and she was happy, though she had to visit Takami once in a while. She got along with everyone, even Takimi, and even Jun. Kyoko was always out and about. She was a little lonely because she missed her father, but of course, that all changed when Kyoko met her.
She was only fifth teen when she met Arisu Momoko Hiragashi. Arisu looked plainly like a guy, but Kyoko like the girl, and she found that she was bisexual. Arisu was a tough girl. She was even in a gang, her hair was a bright color of orange, and she was mean to everyone. Of course, Kyoko was compelled with this girl, and she was always by her side, always asking what was what. Arisu was annoyed, but eventually, she showed her soft side to Kyoko. And so, that started Kyoko's love life. They were best of friends and best of lovers. No one knew at the time, maybe a few of her family members did, but Kyoko didn't care. She loved Arisu with all her heart. She told Arisu about the curse, but she didn't care. Kyoko remembered her grin, and her saying "Well we're both girls, so it really doesn't matter... I'll love you just the same if you turned into a plant." Of course, Kyoko's happiness didn't last. Arisu had snuck over, and they were... in bed together. A maid walked in, seeing the two nude girls, she screamed. that's where Kyoko's life ended. The free spirited horse was broken down. The were sent to Takami's room, and Kyoko was punished serverly in front of her lover. Hearing the words that she wanted to have her memories erased broke her soul and her heart. Kyoko was in the hospital for several weeks, and when she finally got out. Many changes were made in the girl, she has become even more violent and more reckless. She's an outright party girl. She comes home completely shitfaced on a daily bases, and has even threaten to drop out of school. She still maintains her grades though. She's an outright alcoholic, and has started using many different drugs. She has a lot of anger and rage and sometimes, she just doesn't want to live anymore.
Extra: Kyoko has a cat that she loves. It's probably the only creature now that gets to see her softer side.

The Ram

Username: Isnook2
Character Name: Sefuru Sohma
Zodiac Sign: Ram or lamb?
Age: 8
Sex: Male
Height: 4'
Apperance:Sigh...
Orientation: N/A
Crush: N/A
Living Arrangements: In the main estate with elder brother
Bio: Sefuru is obnoxious. He's rude, sarcastic, mean to wildlife and annoying. Despite his age he's pretty smart and constantly challenging others to a verbal duel, one that Rashiel will gladly take up but in the end the two use such different weaponry that its like they're talking in different languages. Sefuru's recently been adding some very crude words to his vocabulary, one that he isn't afraid to throw at the other zodiac members. He kind of fears the Emperor, but its an oddly twisted sort of respect, like a small predator fearing the larger predator, the falcon fearing the eagle. His mother loved to hug him (Who wouldn't mind hugging a lamb?) but she almost died from an stroke and the lack of sufficient oxygen damaged a little of her brain. Bedridden from partial-paralysis, Sefuru visits her often to snuggle against her, but once he leaves her room he reverts back to his bitter, loathing attitude. The only person he's really decent to is Emi, whom he likes to look after but hates playing 'House'. During his free time he's often in the gardens, catching insects, frogs, lizards and all sorts of critters for entertainment. It really pisses Rei off when Sefuru tortures some of the creatures, especially since Rei loved animals when he was young but creatures always run away because he is the snake. Yet Sefuru has an easier time capturing them because he is a ram.
Extra:He can't get along with most people, especially the cat, tiger and snake. He thinks the monkey is just plain stupid and he has a evil plan of forcing cheese down Jun's throat... one day.
