Info Post
Name: Kohaku Yuhara
Gender: Female I guess if you really want to put a label on it? Use whatever pronouns you want.
Age: 16
General physical description
Ethnically Japanese, dark shoulder length hair, around 5'8", athletic build. Could pass for a boyish girl or a girly boy. Large scars running along her spine. Frequently has bags under her eyes.
Backstory (short version)
In the near future, monsters from deep caves attack humans on the surface. Some humans form symbiotic relationships with other monsters to gain super powers and fight them.
Kohaku has a symbiote, so she goes to a special school for training monster hunters. She got tricked into taking the job of Student Council President despite being young for the job, and would probably have about 5 girls trying to date her if she was a boy AND if she wasn't utterly uninterested in that kind of thing right now. She's too busy trying to balance studying for class with running the Student Council and uncovering sinister conspiracies.
Abilities
The symbiotic creature she is bound to burrowed into her body and replaced most of her nervous system. This grants her superhuman reflexes, the ability to supercharge her senses, and the ability to deaden her sense of pain and push her body far past when it should collapse in agony or exhaustion. It also will keep her alive through injuries that would kill normal humans, though it won't make her any more able to function at that point. It takes excessive force to actually finish off hosts.
Okay here's the full backstory
Back in the 1980s, we drilled too deep, looking for oil and other resources. We found an enormous ecosystem full of monstrous alien creatures that seemed to want nothing more than to wipe out all humans. We ALSO found friendlier monsters that would attach themselves to human hosts and give them strange powers allowing them to actually fight back against the more hostile monsters.
Skip ahead to 2015. Kohaku Yuhara's family is caught in a monster attack. Her father's legs were paralyzed, and Kohaku herself would have died had there not been a symbiote wandering around, looking for a human. They prefer humans on the edge of puberty, so Kohaku was a perfect choice. The symbiote burrowed into her spine and kept her alive at the brink of death until the military was able to defeat the beast. She went on to Jr. High at an otherwise all boys school for complicated reasons involving scheduling and scholarships and whatnot. Listen, don't think about it too hard. There's more than enough shows about one guy going to an all girls school. This was when she picked up the habit of presenting as male for convenience.
Skip ahead to 2018. Kohaku starts her time at Aegis Monster Hunter Academy, the oldest and among the most prestigious schools in the world dedicated to training Hosts. She was all ready to have a fulfilling and quiet scholastic experience, but any chances of that went up in flames when she ran into Toyo Seiryu. Toyo was the Student Council President at the time, as well as the strongest fighter in the school, known by the student body as "The Dragon". She was also very, very lazy. When she ran into Kohaku, she saw an opportunity. She faked outrage over some minor slight and challenged Kohaku to a duel. Bewildered, Kohaku accidentally accepted. Kohaku didn't realize until Toyo threw the match and lost that the winner would become the new Student Council President. Toyo got to foist a huge pile of responsibilities onto Kohaku's skinny shoulders and live her life of ease. Kohaku, being the serious and responsible sort, did her best to deal with the eccentric personalities of the student council.
As if that wasn't enough, she started noticing something strange going on among the school's faculty. There seemed to be secret, cut off sections of the school no one could get into save for a few teachers. Students were disappearing. SOMETHING was up, and Kohaku didn't have anyone to rely on but her own weird group of friends to figure out what!
