Erika Vilgan [Quincy]

Name: Erika Vilgan
Nickname: Skittles
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Weapon(s):

• A woman’s wit, (don’t underestimate it.)
  

Personality:
Erika is someone who is very outgoing personality in an odd way. She won’t deny a conversation with you but she won’t bring up points about herself willingly and focus more about what you like and want to discuss. It’s more of a defense mechanism than anything else as she finds herself getting all too hurt when people take simple teasing to a whole new level, though she won’t cry it isn’t pleasant to deal with in the least. This has given her a bit of a poker face in many respects and generally has led to accusations of her appearing cold even if she doesn’t mean to be that way. It’s just how she naturally reacts to people.

When she gets mad she gets mad and expresses it, when she gets upset she holds it within herself unless it’s due to one she cares about; then she screams to the heavens that they shouldn’t do it. Overall a kind soul that has been trapped away within her own fantasies and career. Oddly enough her sense of humor (at least odd when you know nothing of her hobbies) is dark in nature. She tends to finds things involving violence or horror funny more than scary and has to a bit of shame admitted that the screams of someone getting pwn’d by a hollow can be funny if timed right. This being said she isn’t one to let her humor over take her better judgment and avoid helping or hurting those who deserve it, though she may be giggling the whole time.

Should you manage to get her to open up you will find she is more eccentric than anything else always enjoying a good discussion about her interest if coaxed enough to be able to avoid her inner fear. Still she will talk your ear off and go into great detail should you get that conversation going and then most likely apologize for ‘wasting your time’. It’s more of a quirk rather than a habit but still amusing none the less to others whom witness it for themselves at least to the majority of them.

In terms of her attitude towards other races she is more on the “meh’ side of things; she doesn’t hate them nor really care about them. If she can get a good story out of it she will be in but otherwise she would only check it out for curiosities sake of a friend’s sake. Sadly many times the things that go bump in the night and the creepy spirits love to fight against her meaning she has to take them on for whatever reason, but doesn’t mean she hates them. Be it a shinigami or a hollow she isn’t that hostile to them as long as they don’t insult her momma/call her fat/try to eat her face off she is fine with them, hell sometimes they have really cool stories she can adapt to her own works. That’s what matters to her the most her stories, and various adventures while trying to write them regardless of race or apparent attitude.


Physical Appearance:
Erika’s appearance isn’t all that spectacular or at least that is her belief. Feeling like make up saves her life and that naturally she wouldn’t be nearly as good looking without it her morning routine is tedious. In terms of outfits she generally tends to wear less revealing clothes due to the fact that she never viewed herself as amazing in the first place and it always seemed to be the popular kids wore exposing clothing. They were all jerks so why act like they did? Regardless her favorite outfit is typically just an undershirt normally with a sweater or some kind of top over it with regular jeans and possibly a fancy hat or something, though rarely. Despite what her friend she has kept up with despite all the moves she has done say her view on her fashion won’t really change for a very important reason, one which she doesn’t discuss with most.

Her modest dress while important to her isn’t what she uses if she is purposely preparing for a fight or to go hunting those super natural baddies she loves to write about. Typically using more tight fitting clothes and showing more skin due to the need to be more mobile, and not get caught on everything around her, she feel likes it’s an alter ego. While she won’t wear a mask she will wear more unusual outfits and possibly a wig or two just to hide her features at a glance just in case someone she works with or knows on a more personal level sees her in the blasted outfits. Still though function over fashion when she is within a struggle, despite how the professional shinigami or wild arrancar wear those robes that seem like they would get struck on many an object. Seriously how do they not get caught on rubble, oh well her little thoughts will stay where they belong in her head, and her actions will stay out in the world.

In terms of anatomy and phenotypes, she is a mix of Caucasian and Asian. While she has the more pale skin color of her father, she still has the features of one who is of Asian descent, or at least what many typically consider them. It isn’t super obvious and most of her appearance facial wise blend together decently enough, but it’s the one thing she dislikes since she feels that the mix isn’t very appealing to begin with despite the fact that it is her. She is five foot five inches and while Erika is not super tall she isn’t horribly short; her weight is a secret (155lbs) and is completely not influenced by her choice of foods which are less than healthy most of the time. Her hair is that of a brighter mossy green and her iris’s color is that of a golden brown. She is right handed like most and was born on March 29th.

Bio:
Born within the country of Japan like many have been, Erika had a mixed race family. While it didn’t really matter much to her growing up as a young child it did make an impact on her young adult life. As a child though her life was fairly standard she would go to school hang out with friends, and study despite the fact that she found it boring. Nothing too far out of the ordinary in terms of what society saw her doing. On the side she would often read different scripts for the movies she became fascinated with and ponder what her own ideas for them would be like, making little mock adventures and playing them out within her imagination before she went off to sleep at night. Her father traveled and her mother was stay at home, and despite the fact that her daddy would always return to her mothers and her side she always wondered what he was doing all that while.

She wouldn’t find out until much later what he did on his business travels, when her family would be uprooted from their peaceful life within the suburbs to more into a big city closer to his family and a new job position. Her father had always been a business man but whenever she asked her mother what it was he did she would just tell her that it didn’t matter and that it was just regular stuff business men do. Though the suspense must be killing whoever is reading her history it is just a simple guess to the correct answer which she found out during her wonderful exploits of switching from middle school to middle school. Her father was a Quincy at least “on the side” as he put it. He did his work first in making various deals for the company he transferred too as part of a business deal made between his old company and his current one, and hunted hollows and all manner of super natural in case someone was in trouble or he service was needed by others for money.

Already a fan of horror stories even though at first they scared her, she was star struck that they existed in real life and weren’t just made up, for the most part. She was still sad that zombies and such weren’t around. Wishing to learn about it due to her little obsession that some people found fun and others found lame her father disagreed with it wanting her to not have to worry about the affairs of another world. Enter her bugging her mother for a year and the father agreed out of sheer frustration and seeing his daughter’s naïve enthusiasm. Whenever she had free time away from school work doing her various writings she would attempt to learn the ropes from her father.

Many years would pass the family by of mostly the same routine until finally it was time for Erika to move onto College. Having made it through High school and the like without much incident mostly hiding in the background and being a nerd who enjoyed writing for fun and submitting works to various publishers, she earned that which he parents wanted. Fully on quincy powers and while they weren’t the most perfected she was capable and could handle herself against… oh wait her parents didn’t care about that only the scholar ship she earned through her various writings. She had the pick of the litter among a couple of schools, and in the end she chose (Too lazy to think up one here). Despite all of it though and how she was going for a film major, she didn’t find much other than her hobbies fun. Writing horror and now practicing within the arts that she had grown up believing were a fairy tale encouraged her on to greater lengths of “ghost hunting” as it were even going as far to write a few scenes for a show about it.

Her father and mother tired of her little talk about it all the time, and her bitching about her school work while spying on her grades upon her computer came across it and submitted it to various filming studios. Eventually receiving a call to come down and discuss the script she was both mad and surprised that they actually wanted to consider it. Many different meetings and interviews later they accepted it, and requested that she write more causing her to gain the supposed “job of her dreams” even if they liked to steal creative control sometimes with the scenes. Finally a couple years later the program began production and now she like her father is forced to travel for the locations and shoots, performs college online, and of course hunts down all those pesky mystery’s that inspire her next episode. Showing the world vicariously through her writings what is happening even if no one believes it is true and just a show.

Still moving about various countries and locations she continues to be a horror nerd and film critique in addition to writing for the show she never thought would happen. Whenever there is a call from someone for a horrible slumber party that shall end in scary stories or wherever there is a hollow which needs to be cleaned up from the streets she will be there attempting to battle the forces of darkness whenever they may appear, even if it is the Shingami’s job. This is her gift and her curse she is Erika Guren paranormal writer and part time Quincy, and master of the cheesy background endings.

Type of bow:
Erika’s bow isn’t all that strange appearance wise, well for a standard real world perspective. Appearing as a cross bow that mounts along either her right or left forearm the cross bow is pretty standard; appearing as a wooden frame and mostly worn or rusted color for different gadgets upon the device itself. Instead of the firing mechanism it has the forearm ‘grip’ which attaches all the way around said forearm locking it in place. Due to the way this bow appears it is obvious that it cannot be fired manually but instead is fired using the gather reishi rather than the movement of a hand or the swift click of a trigger.

When firing an arrow or using energy in general the threads to the firing mechanism become like that of a vine, and the various rusted parts seem to become covered in different forms of nature depending upon the technique that is being used, automatically making the crossbow look better but also giving a tell to the bows abilities. The reason why she has the nickname she does is because of this bows tell, making it look like “different colors of the rainbow”.

Quincy cross description:
Erika’s cross item isn’t really typical of Quincy; while it could still be considered a conduit for the bow its appearance isn’t that of just a standard cross. The “cross” itself appearing as more of an eight pointed star with twisted vines running along the side of it the “cross” make it appear to be more chaotic in nature than holy like many other Quincy have as a standard. While each individual section of the star is a cross in its own right due to the way the joints meet up though the green colored vines obscure it from just a momentary glance. The “crosses” overall color is more of a rusted/oxidized color; parts of the star shifting from rusted brown to oxidized copper in appearance, while the green vines either contrast or compliment the current portion of the star they are upon Color wise.

Quincy items:

• Seele Schneider x4: typically worn around a belt but sometimes hidden away within a sleeve or boot depending on situations.
  
• Hollow bait x10: Typically either within her purse, in her pockets or within a pouch on a belt.
