Human
Regular, Not Spiritually Gifted Human
I D E N T I F I C A T I O N
Name: Marika Smith
Apparent Age: 18
Actual Age: 18
Eye Color: Amber
Height: 1,85 m
Weight: 121 kg
Hair Color and Style: Her hair is poofy, wavy and a very pale, scandinavian blonde.
Clothing and Accessories: She enjoys adding small, cheeky modifications to her school attire, hair bands, maybe a choker or a bracelet often accompany her uniform. Never too much that it’s blatant, but just enough to tease the limit and highlight her individuality.
Outside of school, she’s a flurry of different and original outfits each day, although her style gravitates around a mix of cosplay and gyaru fashion.
She also often wears a music headset with earmuffs that have a bunny plushie design - it’s actually a regular Artificial Soul in a toy body, sewn and attached to a headset, called Funky Boy.
Generalized Appearance: She’s a hafu, half-Japanese from her mother’s side and a cocktail of international bloods from her father, all mixed to create a bloom that many find to be mind-blowingly gorgeous - and she knows it. She’s quite an ass about it sometimes.
She has perfectly smooth alabaster skin and large, thick eyelashes framing the huge slanted amber eyes on her precious face, along a permanent, rich scarlet blush. And it’s not makeup, she just naturally looks that incredible. However, most notably, her body is extreme, sporting an incredibly narrow waist and a gaudily enormous bosom which she declines to get reduced, and works out instead for it, earning her a noticeable amount of sinewy muscle.
Spiritual Pressure Analysis: She lacks any obvious spiritual pressure. If closely analyzed, it has a subtle lavender smell and to the touch, it has a plastic kind of softness to it, like a toy doll’s hair.
Overall Personality: While she does a decent job at hiding it, she’s actually very arrogant and conceited because of her extreme natural blessings - she thinks of the rest of humanity as dogs: cute, but totally dumb. Nice to have around, but somewhat helpless. She doesn’t feel the need to be outright malicious, but she enjoys being very teasing to underline her superiority and feed her enormous ego. Oozing through her facade of modesty and politeness, she has panache, style, and confidence.
However; of course, there are people who might be envious of her, and those who try to bring her down. But she feels so above the petty quarrels of the mutts below her that she doesn’t really care about them - in fact, she even bothers to notice it, she feels pity, that they’d choose to spend their time on such a useless pursuit.
Due to this exaggerated feeling of superiority, she feels detached from the rest of society, and lonely for it. There’s nobody like her, and now that she has gotten herself mixed in with the world of the dead, she feels even more alone as the sole “blind” one.
Positive Traits: Confident, Ambitious, Determined
Negative Traits: Conceited, Arrogant, Stubborn
Loyalties: Herself, the “greater good” for the world as she perceives it, and her friends, in that order.
Goals: Exploitation of the realms of the dead for the benefit of the living (Hollows are fighting each other all of the time, right? Why not put them on hamster wheels instead to power our cities?).
Habits: Checking social media, working out.

Snapshots
2002 - Marika is born
2005 - After inventing a primitive form of maths for herself to figure out how to beat her grandparents at UNO and other bizarre events, she is taken and officially measured to be a super-genius.
2010 - Marika is accepted into the Nihon University Distance Learning Division.
2012 - After graduating from various university degrees, she’s sent to study at a school in Karakura to integrate herself with the rest of society and learn to live like a normal human girl and have a more normal life.
2015 - Frustrated with the grating boredom of being put in a regular school, she accidentally discovers the first subtle hints of the Hollow and Shinigami phenomenon by staring out of her window and observing footprints in the sports field suddenly appear.
2016 - Marika discovers, and then later manages to steal a Gikon candy dispenser from a local Shinigami. One of them eventually becomes Funky Boy, her loyal companion.
2018 - With the help of Funky Boy to see Hollows for her, Marika captures a particularly small and weak one inside a safe in her basement.
Overarching History
Ever since she was born, Marika knew that she was an exceptional individual. She wasn’t in the same wavelength as the other kids around her at her nursery, bumbling about and playing pretend, arguing sometimes, playing with toys. What they did felt so boring, why didn’t they play the funner games, like Monopoly? Why did they argue over stupid stuff, like who got to play with the teddy or not - why did it matter? Just get another toy, right?
Feeling that she had no real bond with anyone, Marika spent a lot of her time alone, drawing, making up stories and games for herself to entertain herself with. Sometimes she got the attention of the caretakers and managed to have them play the cooler stuff with her, which eventually got them to discover how exceptionally gifted Marika was.
And it was then when her life changed entirely. After being tested and found to have a bizarrely high IQ, her parents became a lot more protective of her - her father, an influential Japanese media mogul, and her mother, their ex-porn star trophy wife. They wanted to make the most out of their child, but safe as well. Her father understood well the hell that kids could go through if they became too involved with the media, so he did everything possible to keep her out of the spotlight.
Isolated, Marika was homeschooled for a handful of years until she got accepted into university. But she never attended classes personally, instead, she was given her lessons remotely, online.
After a couple more years of amassing degrees and not having a bad time now that she could do more interesting stuff, she was pried out of that world by her parents and put into a school so that she could live a more normal life, have friends, fall in love, and do normal teenage things. At first, she felt it was horribly boring, especially the stuff that they were teaching - but then things got better, as she got to indulge in the fascinating world of school gossip, rivalries, intrigue and internal politics - but it was short-lived. Once she got to understand each of the people there and knew how they ticked, she got bored again. Everything became predictable, routinary, boring.
And one fateful day, as she looked out the window, frustrated and bored out of her mind, she noticed it.
A footprint. Appearing out of nowhere in the dirt that surrounded the soccer field. And then a giant one, that resembled a toad’s foot - and then more of the same, and more of the other, as they tango’d together in an invisible symphony. It didn’t take long for her to realize that they were fighting from the tempo, the fierceness and danger written in the steps.
Years have passed since that day, her first discovery of the spiritual unknown, and through her vast creativity and intellect, she has geared herself up with inventions of her own design to further venture into the mysteries that lie with this invisible world beyond.
F O C U S
Focus
Focus Appearance: Due to Marika’s entirely mundane and average spiritual power, she lacks any special supernatural abilities. Instead, due to her extraordinary intellect, she can enter a half-trance state of mental concentration to calculate and predict phenomena around herself. She can’t see supernatural beings, so she relies on other means to figure out where they are, such as reading their prints on the ground, paying attention to how leaves move in the wind, and then deducing from those clues trajectories and movements.
By default, she has a constant passive -1 to all checks (eg. Attack, Defense, etc) with invisible spiritual entities (eg. Hollow, Shinigami, etc).

This looks fine to me, the details of Soul Science will mechanically have to be worked out at some stage. You can tag staff on the discord if you want to discuss it.
Just to confirm at the moment you've no power? That's fine, when you decide to have one you'll just have to tag a staff member so it can be reviewed when that time comes.
I believe the maths on your stats is wrong however. Your skills add up to 530 (410+90+30) while your Reiatsu adds up to 500 (100 x 5).
If you can fix that then just post again or tag a staff member on discord to let them know when the update has been done.

thanks for the review Zenji!
aaah, sorry! math fixed!
no power, correct. i'd like to request to have it be mechanically the same as a release, but lore-wise, she's just entering a trance.
