Personality: She is a hyper and kind-hearted person who alsways looks to cut down collateral damage where she and her brother fight./ He is cold and disconnected. He is usually quiet and shows no interest in sparing the innocent.

History: They are both high-ranking officers in a mercenary group.

On one of their missions, they were to guard a little girl without letting her know she was being watched. They carried on with their orders only to find that the girl was a daughter of one of the surrounding territory's leaders. She was also guarded by a masked man named Kikui who was assigned to kill her after a treaty was made between the warring territories.

They decided to take out Kikui and save the girl. After they had killed Kikui, they questioned the girl on what she knew. though she appeared to only be in her early teens, she was the same age as Kita. She told them that a war was soon to break out and that she needed their help to stop it.

They followed the girl along on a twisting path of murder and betrayal to put an end to the bickering. After years of stalling the inevitable, an event on which they had waited finally happened. they had proof of the girl's royal heritage. They came out into the public eye just as the violence was climaxing. she spoke out to the people in a plea to cease the fighting. She had a meeting arranged with the surrounding territorial leaders to prove her bloodline. After she was recognized as the princess, she disbanded the territories and united the whole kingdom.

The violence stopped and the land was at peace. Kita ans Kabari faded back into the shadows of mercenary working and have hidden there until now.

Powers: Kita has a mass of hand-to-hand combat training as well as excellent swordsmanship. She also has a pair of boots that allow her to lessen gravity's effect on her./ Kabari has augmented eyes to assist in his shooting as well as a near perfect physique.

Equipment: Kita has an array of knives under her jacket and a katana on her back. Kabari has a Modified SL-T Large Calibur Rail Gun. This model of heavy calibur rail gun has been heavily modified from it's original standpoint of a vehicle mounted anti armor weapon. The weapon has been given an expaned larger shaft to compensate for large amunition, in this case Kunai style ammunition. Though unorthodox, the kunais allow for Kabari to operate traditional Kunai weaponry when not in a position to use the sniper rifle, thus allowing the character to use two forms of weaponry from the same source with a lower risk of ammo shortage. Ridges within the inner chamber allow the kunai edges to slide along the barrel, carried by the magnets in a straight forward fashion. Special minerals and metalics that make up the kunai make it lighter weight and have a high range of trajectory. To make the weapon however, a wider barrell and chamber were needed, thus the weapon is a bit big and unwieldy, however, due to it's aim and sniper useage, it is rarely used as a run and gun weapon.

Weakness:They are just human with slight mechanical augments, so still weak to physical attack and the elements. They are constantly argueing with each other on what to do next.

[Ninmast]

A futuristic sniper railgun that fires kunai ... yes, that just absolutely screams realism, believability and efficiency ...

[Toriji]

well it may be vague but it's just a sniper with multiple ring-shaped magnets to propel the kunai. It saves him the trouble of buying live ammunition. not only that, but how many gun's ammo doubles as a hand-to-hand weapon

[Ninmast]

I'm well aware of what a sniper, a railgun and a kunai is. That doesn't make the combined weapon any more workable.

[Toriji]

this is QUITE futuristic. I thought the body augments would give that away

[Ninmast]

That's irrelevant ... Any type of sniper rifle, or any rifle at all, even one designed with an wide, flat barrel for firing kunai, would be virtually impotent. What gives a rifle its power is the rifling on the inside, which puts a spin on the bullets so they fly further, faster and straighter. That would be impossible with kunai, and the large, uneven objects would be prone to jamming, not to mention lacking anywhere for the ignition powder. And the power assembly for a rail gun designed to fire projectiles of that size with any degree of effectiveness would be too large to allow portability.

Yes, firing ninja daggers is cool. No, it isn't practical. You can't always have both.

[Toriji]

I never said the barrel was flat. They are circular rings with a rifled notch on the inside to spin the kunai.

[Ninmast]

Then you're gonna be jamming practically every shot and that thing's gonna blow up in your face.

[Subtle]

Its a rail gun, or firing kunai's wouldn't work. If its a futuristic time line then having a power supply to make it portable isn't far fetched at all. I've definitely seen worse ideas ( not to say this one is bad, I don't have anything against it even if others seem to) go without any flack at all. Its a refreshing change.

My primary concerns would be how he would carry so many Kunai to use them often, and why? Why make it fire Kunai, instead of, you know... bullets.

[Toriji]

It's unique. that's something I've always gone for in a character. As for carying them, it wouldn't be too hard, and with his augmented eyes, he wouldn't have to fire too many of them. Plus, they can be easily retrieved and reused

[Ninmast]

Being fired at that speed? No, once they're fired, they'll be in no condition to reuse. Assuming they don't tilt and jam, which they'd do nearly constantly, in which case you're in serious trouble because the thing just exploded in your face, and it would be the single most useless sniper rifle in the world, anyway, even if it never jammed.

[Toriji]

You really do let reality cloud your imagination. The simple fact is that none of this is real. If I had to make something that would or does work, it would drain the fun out of the fiction.

[Red14]

BUT, my friend, my dear dear friend we are supposed to assume it's real, our characters are supposed to exist in a real world with logic, physics and everything.

BTW Reality clouding anything sounds like an oxymoron to me O.o

[Toriji]

Yes I realize this, but he passed the anti-gravity boots[something we may never achieve] and went straight for the rail gun. I still like to keep in mind that this is not real, that makes it okay to stretch reality a litlle. The fact is that a kunai rail sniper wouldn't work in a real-life situation, but that isn't what we're dealing with in this case.

[Giant Brother]

And, uh, you realise the size of the barrel on that would have to be, right? The size difference between a bullet and a kunai is... well, huge. The barrel, and as a result, the whole freaking gun would be bigger. In the end, what's the point of making it a sniper rifle? Bullets would be easier and more lethal.
