Takai

The Noble Shaming Arrow of Flaming Lae Ming Wae

0 · 1,988 views · located in The Horat-verse

a character in “The Great Guild Fortune”, as played by Kiyokojordie

Description

"Justice can be found by my arrow!"

ImageName: Takai 'The Noble Shaming Arrow of Flaming Lae Ming Wae'
Sex: Male
Age: 30
Race: Beast-Man

Physical Description: Resembling a macaque monkey, Takai has a light brown face, hands and feet, whilst the rest of his body is covered in dark brown fur. Muscular yet lean, he is able to contort his body in various ways making him a perfect acrobat. His back is marked by many scars…
Clothing:Takai often wears cotton or linen clothing in warmer colours - yellows, reds, browns - styled in classic common Yutan fashion. Everything he wears must not be restricting as he relies on his entire body to be able to move freely about.
Height: 5'9 ft - 175cm
Weight: 160 lbs - 72kg
Skin Colour: Light Brown
Hair Colour: Dark Brown
Eye Colour: Golden Brown

Occupation: Outlaw
History/Bio: Takai was born in a little unknown village in Askia. The village was raided when he was young and he was taken and raised as a slave in The Yune Empire. Lashed for his incompetence one too many times, eventually little Takai found a way to escape his imprisonment and ran from the law all the way to Flaming Lae Ming Wae where he happened upon a group of outlaws like himself. A wise old man of this rag-tag group named Master Xiao Le of Flaming Lae Ming Wae taught Takai how to use a bow. Since then, Takai has honed his chi as a master archer.

Growing up as a criminal he began to question the laws of Yutan. He saw families torn apart, people who were struggling to feed themselves and slaves that only wished for freedom - these were not bad people. As an adult Takai used his skill in stealth and archery as a way to steal from the lands of the nobles by poaching their game and bringing back his prize to feed the poor. This got him the title ‘The Noble Shaming Arrow of Flaming Lae Ming Wae’, yet he always felt that there was something more that he could do. Now, as a full grown adult, Takai traverses across the land with one ultimate goal in mind: free all slaves.

Home Town: Flaming Lae Ming Wae (current) Duri (past)
Home Country: Yutan (current) Askia (past)
Personality: Takai is a bit of a free-spirited joker. He can sometimes let minor irritations bother him more than they should, yet he never stays angry for long. He enjoys the simple things in life, like good tea, a hearty meal and a joyous atmosphere. Generally friendly and easy-going, Takai has a strong sense of moral justice and refuses to stand idly when he believes someone good or innocent is being wronged.
Fears and Desires: Fear of big bodies of water would be a strong statement. But very accurate. Takai cannot swim and thus the concept of drowning terrifies him, though he refuses to admit it. He is also afraid of returning as a slave and imprisonment. Takai desires freedom for all races, wishing to abolish slavery once and for all.

Equipment and Weapons: An expensive, masterfully crafted shortbow. Arrows, string, a dagger and a wooden flute. Takai carries everything he needs to traverse the lands and infiltrate noble houses.
Styles and Abilities: Takai is a master archer and is renowned for his skill with a bow and arrow. He is also a skilled martial artist with somewhat of a ‘trickster’ style, fast and nimble on his feet to confuse his opponents.
Chi and Augmentations: He is able to manipulate the air around his arrows to bend and curve at his will.

So begins...

Lo-Muna leapt out of the way before using her chakram to knock another arrow of course. The beat of a Tengu's wings caught her attention as she raised her chakram just in time, the katana sliding off with a slight scraping sound.

"If one of us could get to the sniper!" Lo-Muna yelled out as she dodged another swing of the Tengu's sword. He was fast and Lo-Muna was in a cramped space, trying not to get in the way of the others.

As Suiken grabbed the club wielding Tengu and tossed him a massive red hand reached out and secured itself around the snow oni's throat. Suiken's eyes went wide as the long, yellow fingernails dug into the fat of Suiken's neck, ripping at his flesh as he pulled Suiken down to the Earth with him. The two lay side by side. The Tengu was nearly as large as the Snow Oni, and with a grunt he sent a sideways punch into the old bard's face, boxing his nose in. "YAAA'!" The Tengu screamed, leaping up with a flap of his winds and kicking Suiken's chest in. Suiken smashed into the earth as the Tengu rose over him.

"Hahaha! You stupid rabbit!" The thin, katana wielding tengu laughed as he flapped his wings and slashed wildly at the beastman below him. Suddenly, the tengu paused, noticing Xanth crawl up the side of the cavern. He blinked, not sure what creature he was seeing. "The hell is that?!" The tengu thought aloud. Suddenly Lo-Muna shot back, sending a slash of her chakram in the air. "Ohta!" The tengu screamed back at the sniper as he deflected Lo-Muna's blow. "On the wall, you moron!"

The sniper opened his eyes wide, noticing the shadowy form of Xanth crawling. With a grunt he shifted aim, his bow moving up and firing at her form. With the battlefield momentarily clear of the sniper Yuwen ran forward, leaping and stabbing into the massive club-wielding Tengu's back. "Suiken!" Yuwen said as his blade impaled the Tengu. "Suiken, I got him!" The massive Tengu turned, Yuwen's blade still impaled in his left trapezius muscle, and reached down. He grabbed Yuwen by the arm and began to lift him in the air. "Suiken!" Yuwen screamed. "I didn't get him!"

Xanth put her sneak on pause as she caught the sniper's eyes lock onto her. The glint of an arrowhead aimed her way. PHWOMP. Xanth dropped from the ceiling, the arrow splintering right where she had been, and landed on the ground like a crouching tiger. Death from above wasn't an option anymore but she had made it past the melee fighters and she still had a chance! Even though face-to-face combat was more of Kaor's strength... She bolted across the ground on all fours towards the sniper with her dagger gripped between her teeth and ready to slash at his tendons, hoping to be fast enough to reach him before he drew back his bowstring a second time.

The massive Tengu grunted as a second blade stabbed him. He moaned, turning to Shuin, and grabbed the man by the throat with his other hand, raising him into the air as well. His hands were full of two Yunish men half his size, and his back sported two sets of wings: one of feathers, and one of impaled steel.

Down the tunnel the archer grunted, for the first time raising as the figure he'd shot at scurried forward like a rat in the darkness. He took aim, locking onto his target as she ran. He pulled the drawstring of bow back, ready to fire...

An arrow embedded itself into the hand of the Tengu sniper before he could shoot Xanth. Takai knelt amidst the chaos, glaring at the sniper as he nocked another arrow ready to fire....

Suiken struggled to stand up at first his hand gripping his neck where the Tengu had clawed at him. "Definitely...gonna need some bandages for that," Suiken grumbled. He quickly went into a stance and launched his palm forward, striking the Tengu in the side in the hopes of him freeing his two captives.

The sniper momentarily distracted by Xanth's hero of the hour, she dashed into a roll, picked the dagger from her teeth and threw it, aiming right into his squishy gut.

The sniper cried out, his hand pulling back at the impact. The arrow fired, flying passed Xanth's head. The sniper went still, as suddenly Xanth was before him. And before he knew it, he was shot. Not by arrow, but by dagger. The archer looked down, placing his good hand on his gut before falling forward onto his longbow...

Suiken struck his foe head-on. The massive Tengu was pushed off balance, dropping Yuwen and Shuin both, before collapsing sideways and landing atop Namari- crushing her beneath his girth. Yuwen landed on his feet, catching Shuin in his arms a moment later. The two men looked at each other and after an awkward moment Yuwen dropped Shuin to the earth.

The katana wielding Tengu was knocked back by Lo-Muna. He smashed into the ground, a trail of dust behind him. "Okay!" The skinny Tengu said, launched forward, his wings spread like a predator eagle diving. He brought his sword down upon Lo-Muna, threatening to cleave her in two. She blocked, but not before he sent a kick to her stomach. "Whats wrong, can't ya' fight?!" The tengu laughed, sending another slash with his blade...

"This bastard can sure take a hit, huh?" Suiken commented, furrowing his brow. His chi began together around the palm of his hand. "Shuin! Yuwen! ..." The oni paused briefly, wondering why the two of them seemed to have similar sounding names and dispositions in life. That of a goofus. "Let's launch a three-pronged assault."

"Wow, you guys really don't hesitate, huh?" Samyan noted as conflict broke out around her, tilting and turning this way and that as arrows and bodies whizzed past her.

"What's wrong, can't ya fight?!" Samyan turned her head to see one of the tengu giving the bunny girl some trouble, apparently not realizing there was someone else within arm's reach. This oversight was promptly corrected as Samyan's fist shot into the side of his ribs like a steel hammer striking a gong.

"It's rude to taunt women," she chastised, ducking her head back and spinning around as the tengu slashed at her in reprisal, screaming in rage. Samyan's elbow crashed straight into his jaw, knocking him to the ground and away from the beastwoman. "You also interrupted our introduction scene, which is likewise impolite. I'm Samyan, by the way."

The Snow Oni's eyes widened at Namari's sudden assault of the Tengu. She hadn't dare enter the fight before, but after being tossed about to and fro (and nearly interrupting his concentration) her rage boiled over and the results were...quite brutal. Too much so for Suiken's taste. His next technique would be as much to end the brutality upon this massive fool's life as much as take him out of the picture. His chi gathered into the center of his palm, Suiken shot forth a great ball of wind. Hot and high temperature, unlike the frigid climates back in his homeland, the high heat force of air struck the Tengu directly into his side. "Song of Summer: Natsuta!"

Samyan let out a pitying sigh. "How'd these guys even give you any trouble? They aren't even that tough."

With the pesky sniper out the way, Xanth was feeling quite smug with herself. She turned around to spy the archer tucked amongst the chaos behind her and gave Takai a big beaming double thumbs up. Then she whistled her dog over and approached the sniper's body with the intent of finishing the job and pocketing his nose.

The large tengu grabbed at his throat at Namari's attack. He looked at Namari, green-eyes staring out at the woman. Tears began to drip from his cheeks. Black droplets hit the floor. He wept tears of blood. Half-dead he rose hand to Namari's face but before he could reach he was hit from the side, burning air and fire smashing into his form. The tengu fell onto his back, blinded.

Yuwen Fortune sauntered forward, blade drawn, and in one, precise move, he struck. Yuwen's ebony sword impaled beside Namari's blade into the tengu's throat, finally putting the tengu out of his misery. He grabbed Namari's sword hilt and with a final, upward push he ripped the blades out. Yuwen turned to Namari. From the collection of bloody blades in his arms he offered hers.

Across the tunnel Samyan suddenly felt hands grip her neck. The katana wielding tengu spun her round before socking her in the face. "You dumb broad!" The tengu said, his wings flapping as he rose in the air. "You think a couple girls can defeat me?!" He smiled as he looked down at them. "You don't know nothing yet." The tengu dove at terrible speed at the downed Samyan, and with a grunt he managed to send his blade forward and penetrate the cloth of her robes...

"Wait!" Takai stopped Xanth, stepping toward her and the archer Tengu who was laying on the ground glaring up at them, "Dont - don't kill him."

Surprisingly, Takai felt a pang of something...brotherly toward this man. He was skilled with a bow, a skill that Takai recognized and did not wish to squander. He knelt down to the Tengu, "You're a good aim. Who taught you?"

Samyan stared reflectively up at the stone ceiling, feeling something hot and wet dribbling down her cheek near her eye. When was the last time someone had knocked her down like that? Oddly nostalgic. She clicked her tongue, then got to her feet, running the rabbit woman's blood off her face.

Samyan walked casually over to where the pair had fallen, fixing the hem of her kimono where it had started to slip down her shoulder before leaning down to pick up the tengu's katana, paying no mind to where her foot had come to rest at the end of a man's family line. Bloody spittle bubbled up on the tengu's lips as he made a noise like a tea kettle. Samyan weighed the blade in her hands, then threw it aside and offered to help the beast woman to her feet.

The swordsman tengu fell to the ground, disarmed, and tightly grabbing his crotch. He looked up at the two warriors, seemingly defeated.

The archer tengu gritted his teeth as Xanth and her hound approached. Before the small human could finish him off the beast-man who'd shot him from afar ran forward. The straw-caped tengu glanced up as Takai and Xanth grew closer, until the two were standing over him. The tengu was sweating, crimson red-skin coated in sweat and pokey black stubble. "Who... taught me...?" The tengu beckoned with his fingers for Takai to come closer. Sparing a glance to Xanth Takai did as he was told, going to a knee beside the injured tengu. The archer leaned forward, his lips moving to the beast-man's monkey ear. "I was taught... by my master."

The tunnel shook. Xanth and Takai would notice how far forward they had strayed from the group, having entered a vast chamber- the walls covered in honey stone matching the statue and the tower. The walls shook again as the tengu archer smiled. "He's here... right now." Suddenly the stones lit up, magic within illuminating the chamber in blinding light. Stalactites plummeted, honing in on them like a bird chasing a rabbit.

The tengu at Lo-Muna and Samyan's feet began to laugh as the tunnel shook, the stones in the walls glowing brightly. In the light they for the first time they could see how strange and hideous the tengu's face truly was. "Your friends are done for now. My master doesn't lose... and neither do I!" With an angry snarl the tengu leapt up at Samyan, clawing and showering her with punches.

Xanth huffed angrily as Takai thought to converse with the enemy that just tried to kill her. She didn't wait gracefully for his curiosity to be sated and bounced on her feet behind him as she waited for murder. When the stalactities fell, Xanth's murder mode favored self preservation and instead of making an attempt of getting out the way, she grabbed the dagger in the sniper's belly and slashed up, splitting his entire torso open. Then, she slit his throat, all in a matter of two seconds. Didn't have time for the nose, though.

"Oi." Samyan stepped back and around as the tengu lunged at her, swinging wildly. His attacks were manic and unfocused, the act of someone too blinded with pain and rage. His fists lashed out over and over, meeting only with empty air and Samyan's pitying disinterest in this fight.

With a final howling scream, the man's wings beat furiously against the floor, throwing up dust as he launched himself at Samyan one last time, grasping for her throat. She stepped casually to the side, left hand going to the back of his neck while her right gripped the base of his wing. She pushed him forward, using the momentum of his own dive, and in the same motion wrenched back on his wing, splattering the floor and wall with bloodied feathers as it tore free from his back. The tengu fell to the floor in shock, mouth agape with no noise escaping. Samyan sighed and placed her foot against his shoulder, rending the tengu's wing off the rest of the way.

"I'd heard it said even tengu know when they're beaten," she remarked, dropping the severed wing to the floor. "What does that make you, then?"

With an annoyed huff, Ginchiyo surveyed the scene before her, it would have been easy enough to channel her chi and simply walk into the volley of arrows, but doing so would leave her between Yuwen and the tengu, which was not an enviable position. Grumbling to herself, she made idle notes of the battle slowly playing out before her. The sniper in the distance was aiming reasonably well, either he was decent with a bow and aiming to kill, or he was amazing with a bow and faking his kill shots.

Certainly, it felt like Yuwen and company were doing their best to put down the Tengu, but perhaps these were simply pawns meant to be disposed of to gain her trust. Regardless, eight on three seemed a little cruel, and as such she simply walked past most of the fighting. It got hard to move in certain parts, but being born double-jointed had its perks and before long Ginchiyo found herself watching the Tengu sniper begin to bleed out. The Red Monkey was lamenting his death, something about not wasting a skill, whatever that meant. The sniper had been about to die a dog's death, who knew the dog's skills were so prized?

Taking a moment to scrutinize the Monkey, she realized that he was genuinely distraught that the wisp had almost killed him. Perhaps their allegiance was more tenuous than she had thought. Her thoughts turned to what lie ahead, what had those three been stalling for? "Wonder if the Rabbit can hear that far..."

She wondered if it was worth going ahead of Fortune, perhaps disrupting his nefarious deeds, but decided it really wasn't worth her time. The favor had been returned as far as Ro was concerned, but she was curious to see where this whole thing was going. Scratching the back of her head she decided it was worth her time to stay just a bit longer; her thought was interrupted by the tunnel lighting up and beginning to shake, bits of rock falling on her person as she made her way to the end of the tunnel that abruptly changed material as it became a cavern. The Tengu prisoner said something about a master's presence, and it was true that she could sense someone else in the chamber, but they were expertly concealed.

Steeling herself, the warrior waited for the inevitable battle with the Tengu Boss.
