Basics
Name: Reika Tomoe
Nicknames: Wild Red, Demon of Akarizora
Age: 15
Birthday: April 13
Grade: 9th (Failed her previous 9th grade)
Power:
Durable Circulation: Reika has a circulatory system in her body far more durable than a normal human being's due to her blood vessels and the walls of her heart being thicker and composed of much stronger muscle fibers. Being able to withstand a higher pulse and greater pressures than normal. This allows her to possess greater stamina as her heart can handle beating to the point where an ordinary person would have otherwise experienced complete heart failure. However, it does mean that when her blood pressure reaches a normal low, it places her in an extremely sleepy, cathartic state. Naturally, her normal blood pressure is the same as someone who is performing a brisk workout.
Hyperactive Reaction Time: Her increased capacity for blood pressure and heartbeats per minute comes with a double-edged sword of an ability. As her pressure increases past normal human capacity, her vision starts to blur and she begins to see her surroundings covered with a red tinge. At a certain point, she begins to feel as if time begins to slow down as her brain starts to process information at an accelerated rate. However, at this point everything turns into a dark red tinge and only shapes differentiate one thing from another. Her hearing becomes distorted as well and she will no longer decipher friend from foe nor can she recognize anyone no matter how close they are to her. Often, this puts overwhelming stress on her mind to the point that she loses her sense of reason, as well as turn her into what seems to be a more aggressive, berserk, and moral-deprived version of herself. Her body and mind start to only focus on one thing: keeping her heart rate rising and seeking anything that will maintain and satisfy the craving for more excitement. This state continues until her pulse slows down to normal through any kind of method that will make her pressure decrease (Restricting her movement, tranquilizing her, anything to make her drowsy, etc). At that point, she either passes out completely, or become extremely fatigued as she loses all her strength.
Increasing Cadence: Relying once more on her increased activity, the circulation to her muscles begin to increase and her adrenaline production starts to abnormally increase as her pulse rises. This allows her to gain more strength and become faster and more agile in correlation to how excited she becomes. At the point where she begins to see red, she also begins to completely ignore pain due to the extreme high that she experiences from being overloaded with adrenaline. This, however, means that what effects she ignored throughout that entire time during this state takes a toll on her body and she fees double the intensity of the pain. This causes her to black out if the pain becomes too much.
Member Group: Neutral
Canon or not: Non-Canon
Appearance:
Reika's appearance is generally tomboyish. She loves keeping her hair short and with a wild, messy hairstyle. Originally, her hair had a jet black colour, but she dyed it a vibrant blonde as she wanted to emit a more rebellious air around her. Her eyes are blood red and carry a very sharp and aggressive gaze. She has a slim but athletic build, and fair skin.
While not reluctantly wearing her school uniform, she likes to wear very casual street clothing. These include hooded coats, relaxed shirts, denim jeans, and either boots or sneakers depending on the occasion. Other than that, she likes to accessorize with piercings on her ears, lips, and even one on her tongue. She wears a studded collar, leather belt-style wristbands and black-painted nails to add to her entire rebellious look.
Personality
Overall Personality:
Reika cares little about anything around her besides her own amusement. Although she's not the type to pick a fight, she's also not one to decline an exciting battle. She is a seeker of constant thrills, often putting herself in danger or in harm's way voluntarily in order to get that sweet adrenaline rush that she craves oh so much. This means that she will accept even a fight that she knows she has no chance of winning if it means she can get her daily fix of excitement from it. This excessive confidence and recklessness usually ends up endangering anyone around her.
She never seems to tire and always has the urge to keep moving. Because of this, she finds classes and school boring. Halfheartedly sitting through lectures, she does not do very well academically. She rests during the moments when she finds things absolutely uninteresting and ends up only falling asleep during class and the times when she's completely exhausted herself through lack of sleep or intense physical activity. Besides that, others might find her carefree, extremely open, and somewhat thoughtless personality to be irritating. She acts before thinking, as she believes that thinking only slows the entire process down.
Within, she does feel a sense of guilt and responsibility when she realizes that she has messed up more than she wants. Her desire is only to have fun, and she does take it a little too far at times. She never has the intention of hurting anyone unless she thinks that they do deserve it. In fact, she is quick to make friends to those who she simply finds amusing. She feels a sense of brotherhood among her closest friends that have gone to known her much further. It's hard to fully get to know everything about her though, as she always tries to keep a lighthearted spirit going. She outright refuses to show any pain or deep personal troubles she experiences or has gone through. Once she does completely disclose her troubles to someone means that she truly genuinely cares about them, even to a point of feeling a bond thicker than blood towards them. However, this does mean that betrayal is a big thing for her. She does not forgive or forget a close friend's mistake easily, and she takes wrongdoing to a very personal level. Never expect to even be friends with her as easily once her trust is lost.

History:
On the day of her birth, Reika was considered to be a child born with a strong heart and quickly became active as she grew at an early stage. At an age younger than normal, she began learning how to walk. Her parents saw something great in her and made sure to raise her to become very good at sports and athletics. Of course, the competition became a source of excitement for the now growing Reika. However, she thought that her parents took it a tad bit too seriously. Demanding that she becomes more of a team player to allow her to win more than take those risky points, she found out that her joy did not come from sports or athletics, but through the thrill that she felt diving amidst multiple opponents and somehow making it through. Because of that, she began to play for thrills and for fun more than winning or being part of a team. Of course, she decided that academics and boring lectures were a waste of time.
Throughout her school life, Reika began to be labeled as a delinquent. Thinking that the excitement she received from rebellion from those who downright annoyed her and tried to restrict her free space was much better, she embraced the title of a rebel. Against her parents' will, she dyed her hair blond, cut it short, and became a sort of dangerous prankster around her school. Because of the sometimes harmful nature of the things she does, even almost joining a band of gang-like fellow delinquents but ending up just single-handedly defeating all of them in a fistfight, she gained quite a reputation in her school of Akarizora. Rumours spread of things she has not even done and her fellow students began to both fear and admire her, calling her the "Demon of Akarizora". She thought that it was all just played for laughs until one fateful day that she realized that she did truly become a monster.
One night, the band of delinquents decided to use her cocky attitude to frame her once and for all. Beating up a student to the brink of death beforehand in their meeting place, she arrived there just as the police did. Terrified of getting arrested and overall being overwhelmed by all the things she saw in the scene, she felt her heart racing faster than ever before. Realizing that it was all a set-up, she grew a crooked grin and decided that she would hunt them down. Fighting through the police in front of her was just an added obstacle to her. As her vision slowly gained the tint of red, she somehow managed to slip through and avoid every single policeman trying to lunge and take her down. Her vision completely turned red as her ears rang and the throbbing of her heart felt like a jackhammer pounding inside her chest. She felt herself running faster and faster, focused only on the drive to fight and the thrill of the hunt for a petty sort of vengeance. After that, everything was dark.
When she finally came to, her vision blurred back to normal and her breath was shallow. On one hand, she was holding the collar of one of the crying delinquents, and her other hand was clenched into a fist. It was bruised and covered in the boy's blood. Around her were the other fallen bodies of those she had beaten to death. Looking at the boy under her, his head was limp and his eyes were rolled back. His mouth barely had any teeth left and he was letting out soft gasps that sounded like a whimpering dog. In a panic, she ran away and hid under a nearby bridge knowing that she was now wanted. A man approached her, and before she was able to fight back, she was offered a chance to join a place where people like her belonged. The man explained that she could have all the fun with those who understood what she wanted and how she felt; that she will find those with common interests and goals. Having nothing else to lose and no other place to go, she left with the man and began her new life as someone "Gifted". Trying to put her past behind her, she wondered if the place the man described really had people with similar eccentricities as her. However, her true question was if she could have even more fun in that place and feel excitement that the place she lived in could never offer her. Pushing aside her guilty memory, she decided to walk with a fresh new start and a thrill-seeking heart.

RP Sample:
The dusk sky hung over the small town like a mellow blanket tucking it in for the night. However, Reika knew that the night was when things would begin for her. A letter appeared in her locker, challenging her for a rematch. A group of delinquents she had previously beaten up now ask for her to prove herself in battle once more, calling the first one a "fluke". With a determined grin, she crumpled the paper and set off on her way to the school's courtyard once the dusk broke the sky.
As she was expecting a group of thugs waiting for her, she yelled boisterously at the empty-looking courtyard. "Y'all hiding? Come on! Come at me all at once! You and all your cronies!"
To her surprise, all she heard was a voice pleading for help. A boy wearing their school uniform was bloody and badly beaten in the distance. Concerned, she ran to him and checked to see if he was alright. Shockingly, the boy swatted her hand away desperately as she was just reaching to feel if he broke any bones. Screaming in agony and fear, the boy exclaimed.
"G-GO AWAY YOU DEMON! BASTARD, Y-YOU TOLD THEM! YOU TOLD THEM TO DO THIS TO ME! J-JUST KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF ME!"
She grew even more confused as she saw lights and police sirens surround her. Policemen came not to rescue the boy, but to arrest her for being in the scene of the crime. She was set up. She was being framed for something she never had the intention to do in her life. The policemen shouted at her to freeze and just come with them so no one else would be hurt.
They did it... Those scumbags really did it... Aren't they just so spineless!?
Reika felt everything grow silent around her besides a ringing in her ears and the sound of her heart beating. The pounding in her chest grew more intense.
I'll hunt them down...
She opened her eyes to see that everything had a deepening shade of red to it, as if someone was slowly spilling paint into the surroundings. The mouths of the cops moved angrily, words only coming out as distorted static to her ears.
I'LL HUNT THEM DOWN!
Kicking herself off the ground, she rushed towards the line of cars and bulky red men blocking her path. Time seemed to slow down as she saw the men leaping to take her down to the ground. Moving according to their advances and completely sidestepping their attempts, she felt as if she was starting to move faster, much faster than them. They didn't matter. She had another thing at hand.
In the distance, the boys were sitting on a bench and cheering as they saw the far away police lights. Along with it, they heard a strange siren... or so it seemed. Screaming bloody murder, Reika was sprinting at full speed towards the boys like a raging demon. Preparing their bats and getting in position, they were too late as she already tackled one of them. Knocking one of the boys off the bench, mounting and pushing him a short distance across the ground, all he left was a scream as she delivered a merciless fist towards his face, contorting his neck with the force and making him go limp. Looking at the others with a twisted grin on her face, she let out a bone-chilling cackle as her empty red eyes seemed to glow with rage. Her rapid breathing and the pounding on her chest can basically be heard in the dead fearful silence between the boys who have pushed her to the edge.
"You boys ready to have some REAL fun...?
