Haha, I have a few OCs that are part of a game concept (I'm going to college for this!) that I've inserted into a Naruto fanfic I'm working on. It started out as an exercise in their personalities and snowballed from there... I'm still working on the two humans' concept sketches. *sweatdrop*
Shakko: A kitsunetsuki ("one who is possessed by a kitsune") and the heroine of the game. Lost her parents in an accident when she was about 4; started repressing her emotions afterwards due to survivor's guilt. A long and convoluted series of events results in her eventually coming to terms with her loss and rediscovering her emotions. Same series of events eventually led to her becoming a servent of the kami Inari. It's her 'job' to deal with rouge kitsune and to keep the relations between kitsune and humans civil. She's partnered with a tenko myobu who possesses her so she can use its powers.
Shakko is a tomboy and prefers wearing pants and tank tops. Her clothes are more based on what would be comfortable in combat than any kind of fashion statement. She has long black hair that she wears in a braid and amber brown eyes. When on "offical business" she wears a forest-green cloak with gold trim and a gold Inari-mon on the back.
"Shakko" means "red fox", and is a term that can be used interchangably with "kitsune". It's her nickname, not her real name.
Yume: The tenko myobu (a white-furred, nine-tailed kitsune in service to Inari) partnered with Shakko. Origionally possessed her as part of a punishment for robbing a shrine, he now finds her to be a rather pleasant partner. He spends most of his time either hiding in the back of Shakko's mind or in the physical world. He tends to act like a big brother- or uncle-figure to Shakko and Genko.
Other than being a white, nine-tailed kitsune, Yume has a distinctive pattern of swirling spots on his face around his eyes (I should have a picture of that somewhere).
"Yume" means "dream", and is a referece to both how he has the power to watch or create dreams in humans, and to the origional (discarded) game idea.
Genko: Shakko's fiance. His parents worked at the orphanage where Shakko grew up and has known her for most of their lives. Somehow he managed to fall in love with an emotionless she-bastard. Shakko and Genko's personalities can be best described (without writing three pages each) as being a mix of Sasuke and Naruto; Shakko leans a bit more towards Naruto and Genko is closer to Sasuke. He doesn't have any special abilities, but he travels with Shakko as her aide. Genko's job is to help listen in on rumors and conversation for clues and to keep other humans out of the way of fights. He has black hair and chocolate brown eyes.
"Genko" means "black fox" and is usually considered a good omen. It's his nickname, not his real name.
