[OOC] - APPLICATION

Character's name: Hikari Hoshi (Eastern order).
Character's canon: Beyblade. She's an original character.
Brief (around 300 words) personality outline of your character:

Hoshi is cheerful, friendly, and all around warm to those she meets and to those who have been her friends for years. She's been raised to have a good set of morals in her, so she uses those to the best of her ability to help others out. She is also protective of her friends and family, rather wishing for harm to come to her instead of them. This drive may or may not make her out to be masochistic, something she won't deny or give a straight answer to.

However, when she beyblades, she tries to make the match as enjoyable as possible for both sides, and even before it, she trains as a way to not let herself down for the "what ifs" of it all. Yet, if she is injured in a match, she will do whatever's necessary to not give up, even if she suffers from a broken arm. To that, she will most likely say, "I still have another arm to 'blade with!"

One thing she does not approve of is other people hurting others, so she'll try her best to diffuse the situation. She also highly disapproves of BEGA, believing that beyblading should be left to have fun, not have it be professionalized. If it was asked of her to join a coalition to bring down the organization, she would join it without a doubt. She is also difficult to piss off, but with the right circumstances, she won't hesitate to dress someone down, throw a punch, or just flat-out tell someone that they're wrong.

Why does she have all this strength? Well, with her father being part of the Japan Special Defense Forces, and the fact that she wanted to be a good daughter, she told herself to be strong so that she wouldn't upset and worry others, especially her parents. It may be a case of her growing up too fast, but she never forgets how to smile and make the best of her life as it is right now.

Brief (around 500 words) history and background of your character OR link to a really good wiki page with their history. In either case, explain where they cut off from the timeline:

Hoshi was born between a military man for a father and a homemaker for a mother. She grew used to her father not being around for long periods of time, so when she was a little girl, she was expected to help her mother out as much as possible. She did this with a smile on her face, even though she was not much than three to four years old at the time.

However, when she was six, she earned her first beyblade from her father who got it from one of the men he was working with, saying it was a present. Confused, but also fascinated with how pretty it was, Hoshi thanked her father and tested it out. She grew fond of the beyblade, and made sure to keep it safe. She competed in local tournaments, and even little beybattles after school let out.

One day when she was practicing by herself at her house, she unexpectedly called Seraphiel's name from the bit chip. Met with a great amount of power, it caused her to nearly black out. For a time, she didn't know what she did wrong, but after reassurance that she called her holy beast's name meant she had a considerable amount of power for her age.

Besides beyblading, Hoshi was able to help her mother out with her babysitting service she ran to help raise money. She would play with the kids and take them out to the park as to give her mother some time to herself. During this time, she thought of the kids her mother took care of as little brothers and sisters she never got a chance to have. She didn't mind doing this for her mother.

Along the way, she met up with the members of her eventual team that was known as Holy Enoch. During this time, she knew she was probably growing up too fast, but she wouldn't allow that to deter her from having the most fun she could ever have with them. They made her their leader and she wanted to make sure that they were well taken care of. The team competed in several competitions, gaining the image that they were a team to be reckoned with.

When BEGA came around, Hoshi was scouted and "asked" to be part of their team due to her rare holy beast. She also had a plan in order to get as much information as possible from BEGA to assist Takao for his own upcoming matches that would determine how the world of beyblading would continue on from here. Declining the offer due to liking her own team better and disagreeing with what they stood for, she tried to leave, but was told she had to win their matches, or give in. She decided to fight them off with Seraphiel. After round after round of matches, she waned in strength, but tried her best to not give up. However, just before her teammates could get to her, a pillar from the ring she was in gave way due to how intense the match was, and with her weakened, she ended up getting pinned underneath the rubble from it and her arm horrifically mangled in the process. It turned out that she inevitably lost from the match and her team quickly took her to a hospital to get help.

She was brought to the hospital following her beybattle where she fell into a coma and having to go through surgery to repair the damage inflicted to her arm. Her beyblade, Seraphiel, was badly damaged from the fight. Her mother stayed in her hospital room with her and her father came back from his mission early so that he could be with his daughter while she recovered. To his surprise, though, he noticed that she had an omamori, a Japanese amulet, in order to help her out through the tournament. It was an old one that he got for her when she was a little girl. Both of them were immensely proud of her.

During when Takao and Brooklyn were fighting off for the fate of their world, Hoshi's team did whatever they could to help protect her, as well as her parents. She woke up when the world was saved to join everyone else with her team to watch the finale of the epic battle that happened. When reconstruction was going on after the destruction and devastation, she remained home and returned to helping her parents around the house and look after the children she babysat.

She's taken to after when she gets up.

Sample post (just a general, everyday, puttering-around-the-ship post; please include a snippet of dialogue):

It was weird being separated from her teammates for so long with zero communication with them. She was awfully worried about them, what with her being the captain. She spent her nights looking for them, barely getting adequate sleep to help aid her in repairing her arm that much quicker, but she wanted to look for them. She had to. She was responsible for them and didn't want any of them hurt.

Traveling along with her was her holy beast, a comfort from home. He was in his eagle form, always waiting for the command to fight for his mistress.

Somewhere down the line, Hoshi got tired of looking, but would continue her search. The weight of her arm was enough to make her tired after just a few minutes of lugging the limb along. She knew she had to get stronger and be able to actually use the arm. That would take some time, however.

"Man... wonder if the kitchen's open at this hour," she muttered to herself and looked at Seraphiel. "You wanna go check with me, my friend?"

The angelic holy beast nodded and Hoshi gave him a smile. With her left hand, she brought it up and stroked him on the beak. "C'mon, let's go. Maybe we'll find the others after it."

She turned on her heel and walked over to the kitchen, just hoping that everyone she met in her world was okay and that their efforts actually worked. They had to, didn't they? Everyone had worked their hardest to destroy BEGA and the man that ran it. Well, he wasn't necessarily considered a man. He was more like a monster, a bad taste in a person's mouth that couldn't get it out until he was put away for good.

'Guys, I'll find you soon. Just wait for me, okay?' she said to herself, continuing her walk on the ship.

If the character has magic, mutant, or otherwise metahuman abilities, please explain what they are and outline EXACTLY how they function, as their powers may not work due to the nature of the ship or may need to be limited somehow:

The only superpowers Hoshi has is through her holy beast, named Seraphiel. A small explanation on Seraphiel follows below.

Seraphiel is an angel bit beast who has two giant wings on his back, able to soar through the sky. He's clad in armor from head to toe, save for his head being covered by a white hood. Underneath that hood, he has white hair. In his hand, he carries a cross in which he uses to attack. Replacing the usual armor on his legs is a blue skirt that billows out.

When he's summoned from his bit chip, he emerges in a brilliant light with feathers raining down. His Judgment attack strikes the foe's beyblade from all sides while he brings his cross down to slam on to the other's bit beast. Elysium Final, on the other hand, has bright light coming out from all sides. While the beyblade does this, feathers emerge and start to trap and then bring justice upon all the sinners.

What Hoshi says for these attacks are: "Seraphiel! Cast judgment upon all ye who are guilty!/Seraphiel! Come forth and make all the sinners pay! Elysium Final!"

Seraphiel can also transform into an eagle.

Non-superhuman special abilities of note (Is your character a master ventriloquist? A naturally-occurring super-genius? The best martial artist in the world? Say so here):

When there is a pressing situation and everybody is freaking out, Hoshi is the one who thinks when there's a crisis. She doesn't let negative emotions affect her, and instead of joining in with the freaking out, she'll think of a plan, even when times are tough. She is also very understanding of people and how they are. In fact, this has helped her join up with her teammates. She does not care if she'll get sick or hurt in a fight or doing something for someone, because she will sit in the rain with someone, protect them from bullying, do whatever's necessary to raise their confidence, or try to open someone up by being herself.

She can also ignore a great amount of pain. If she's getting beaten up, she'll ignore the pain and continue fighting. If a pillar falls on her in the middle of battle, she'll ignore the pain and continue on. She almost nearly accepts pain as her friend to keep on doing and performing at her best. She also has an increased stamina due to the training she goes through for beyblading as well as the multiple battles she sustained while forced to fight BEGA.

Due to how her father is a military man, she has undergone military style training and knows of a fair amount of military tactics in order to get herself out of a sticky situation.

She can make epic speeches, too. Oh, and is a pretty good cook. And an awesome team captain and leader in general.
