Kenta knew the silence couldn't remain for long. Of course it couldn't. There was bound to be some Ghoul that would come through looking for a meal and of course they had to be the kind that were not very discreet about it. He only wishes he'd caught wind of them sooner, no doubt he was already too late to help or save the victim of whoever this new Ghoul was.
Unfortunately he didn't that the Ghoul in question was already aware of his presence and was watching him as he stalked the dark quiet streets for the Ghoul. She hadn't known that there were others here but she wasn't worried as they seemed to be the more shy types as he wore a silly mask.
She never understood that. Why hide? There was nothing the humans could do to them. Either way, she wasn't going to let this coward ruin her hunt. So she continues to stalk him from the shadows, waiting for her perfect opportunity to strike.
{ Kenta's Info} { Kenta's Stats} - Strength: B
- Speed: B
- Aim: C
- Resilience: C
- Presence: B
- Potency: B
Stamina: 20/20 Wounds: N/A [Can take two C-Ranked Wounds] { Kenta's Traits} - Agile MovementMinor - A Character with this Trait person can run along walls for short distances and dance or jump around obstacles with ease. This is due to long training by running from pursuers and can be quite useful when avoiding attacks. This Character is able to comfortably Dodge an additional attack every other post, without exerting Stamina to do so.
- Fleet FootedMinor - Years of dexterity and nimbleness defined you. You possess a supernatural agility even among your peers. When scaling vertical distances, treat your Speed as one rank lower, to a minimum of C-Rank. Additionally, when falling from a great height, rolling upon hitting the ground absorbs the force of the impact. Reduce injuries sustained from falling by one Rank. If this would reduce the rank of the injuries below C-Rank, you suffer none.
- Human LoverMajor - Kenta often sympathizes and sides with Humans when it comes to conflicts between the two species. He will often socialize and bond quickly with humans, even if the possibility of his identity is at risk. When Kenta has obtained a B-Ranked Social benefit with Human characters, he can treat his Social Benefit (and only his own) with them as one rank higher. However, should the Humans show that they're accepting of Kenta being a ghoul then the Humans can also treat their Social benefit with him as one rank higher.
{ Kenta's Kagune} RC Type: Bikaku [+Potency | -Speed] - SharpenedMinor - While most bladed kagune and quinque are inherently sharper than your average weapons, a weapon with this trait is even more so especially to the point that it is quite effective at slicing through RC-type weaponry. When a kagune or quinque is hit by a weapon with this trait due to it being defended against, the defender and the defender's weapon will suffer three-quarters of the wounds that an attack would normally leave on a target. (i.e. if hit by a S-Ranked Strength attack the, the defender and their weapon will suffer one A-Ranked and one B-Ranked wounds.)

It's 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. Rinkaku appears as two, thin, twenty foot long tendtrils with spikes on the ends of them. Minor Weapon Trait (Kagune):Koukaku- Sturdy - A Weapon with this Trait is exceptionally sturdy when compared to others. While manifested, the user's Resilience is treated as one Rank higher than usual (on top of Kagune bonuses if applicable) for the purposes of Weapon Durability, but this weapon, under any circumstances, cannot be used for an attack.
- Light - A Weapon with this Trait is noticeably lighter than the what it would otherwise appear to be. When using this Weapon the user can use Strength, minus two, in place of Speed for how quickly the weapon can be used. All other applications of Speed remain the same.
Rinkaku- Serrated - A Weapon with this Trait is serrated, and is able to inflict bleeding wounds on a target. When hit from this weapon, a target suffers one C-Rank wound every post, for three posts.
- Lengthy - A weapon with this trait is longer than normal, extending the range of the weapon by an additional 50% of the original range.
Major Character Trait:- Sensory Expert - [Upgrades from "Sensory Specialist"] A Character with this Trait has taken the time to hone their senses further beyond an extraordinary level, allowing them to hear and distinguish the differences between all sounds within fifty feet of them, even on the fly. Characters with this Trait can make use of it to determine the exact positions of objects or people through walls, hearing nearby heartbeats, etc.
Minor Character Trait: - Like A Shadow - A character with this trait has spent a long time learning how to move quietly and remain hidden. This makes them harder to detect and make less sound when performing actions.

Jaco watched as he stood on a nearby rooftop, looking down at the young man as he paced down the street, searching for his own prey. Jaco grinned lightly as he spied along the rest of the dimly lit road. He was out hunting himself that night and was wearing his usual sterling white suit with the black trench coat. No one could see the white however as the trench coat had been buttoned closed and Jaco dawned his mask. It looked apothecarial and old Victorian, as if from the plague era of England. The lower half of the obnoxiously long nose was cut out, exposing Jaco’s mouth. The rose-tinted glasses hid the color of his eyes, hiding his identity. Jaco leapt quietly from his perch on the corner of the building while whistling loudly in the direction of the young man. Jaco only wanted to get his attention, but he could also smell the presence of another ghoul nearby. Jaco really enjoyed that smell. So much his fingers twitched for a moment as he imagined it intensify while cutting open a fellow ghoul. “Where you headed stranger?” Jaco asked while tilting his head and offering a friendly smile, barely visible behind his mask. “You seem to be in a hurry or lost.” Jaco began to stride lightly towards the stranger, allowing his beautiful white trousers peak from beneath his trench coat as his snow-white shoes tapped against the ground. If this boy was who he was after, they would most likely begin fighting immediately. Jaco didn’t own turf but rather enjoyed pecking at another’s to get them to poke their head out. And that was his game plan for his meal tonight. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{ Stats, Traits, & Weapons} - Strength: A-Rank

Character Traits: Twisted (Major Social Trait): Jaco, due to his childhood and being experimented on by his parents, has gained the ability to hide his true emotions and intentions with ease. He is able to easily blend into crowds and lie through his teeth. Without absolute, undeniable proof directly in front of the other character, his words seem to have sprung from a fountain of truth. When a character with an equal presence rank uses a similar trait or a character with one rank or more higher presence has this ability used on them, they can see through Jaco's lies. Surgical Cruelty (Major Combat Trait): Through studying of corpses and close combat experience, the wielder of this trait has learned humanoid physiology. By studying they have learned how to immobilize limbs by exerting themselves and focusing on the limbs and their anatomy holding them together. By doubling the stamina cost of an attack, which would be the same effect as attacking twice in a single attack, the wound caused by the attack immobilizes the wounded limb of their opponent. A stamina cost must always be paid. If the next stamina cost for an attack is free after the first, for example, the cost will still be 1 stamina drain. The immobilization last for one post unless the attack is reapplied. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{ Kagune} RC Type: Bikaku (+Strength/-Potency) Koukaku (+Resilience/-Speed) Kagune Description:Koukaku: Jaco's Koukaku kagune is pale grey in color with black spots along it's visage and produces as several limbs, shaped like flower petals reaching from Jaco's back and closing around his arms with five pointed thorns at the end where it finishes around his fist. When closed, these points form a circle around where his fist was, making only a small opening between them where his fist once was. Once fully wrapped, it looks like one massive bulb around his fist with these points jutting only five inches forward. While unfurled, it still wraps around Jaco's arms but shows as on open flower, revealing his hands and reaching out to grab at an opponent. Bikaku: Jaco's Bikaku is crimson, blood red and twenty feet long. This tail is rather thin, unlike most Bikaku tails, being only being two inches thick and has two sharpened points where it slits at is last three feet of length, making two sharp and small ends three feet in length and one inch thick where the separation occurs. This tail is very flexible, being able to wrap around objects while also being sturdy enough to stab through flesh and bone. Kagune Traits:- Koukaku:
Numerous (Minor)|Free - A weapon with this Trait is able to produce an additional copy of itself, or an additional Kagune/blade of a similar shape. This is for Jaco to have a second Koukaku around his left arm for a dual Koukaku Kagune set.
Prehensile (Minor)|Free - A weapon with this Trait is able to easily grab onto targets, as well as pick things up with ease.

Piercing Points (Minor)|Restricted - Jaco Bikaku Kagune has the ability to stab into opponents much more easily having sharpened points at the end of his slim tail where it splits off to these two points. These sharpened points can stab passed defenses such as barriers or other Kagune, treating them as one rank less than their current standing.

The whistle drew both of the ghouls attention, announcing the arrival of the trench coat wearing ghoul and causing Kenta to jump a bit in surprise as he turned around to face the plague doctor mask wearing ghoul. Kenta was immediately thankful for his own mask design, fully covering his face which was now pale as the blood had drained from it at the sight of the larger ghoul. Kenta had also caught sight of white pants and shoes and found it an odd choice of clothes for a ghoul to wear on a hunt. That said something about the character of the ghoul in question.
His reaction to the new arrival was a more instinctive one than voluntary as the sclera of his eyes became black and the irises blood red which was visible through the mesh and his kagune manifested behind him. However despite this Kenta kept a rather neutral pose, or at least as much of one as he could as he spoke up to answer the newcomers question, "Nowhere that concerns you sir. Just looking for someone. Another ghoul that's been causing trouble."
Kenta didn't believe this man was the one he was looking for or else he figures they would have attacked him by now. Besides from what he's heard about the messes that the ghoul left behind, something tells him that they weren't much of a talker. Of course, Kenta didn't really claim this area as his own territory or anything but as he lived in the area, he'd rather not have unwanted attention drew towards or near him so it was a bit important to him to get this ghoul under control.
Said Ghoul in question was watching this exchange now, having manifested her own rinkaku kagune at this point as she also had the same feeling that Kenta had about the new arrival; he was dangerous. While she didn't sense any inherent danger from Kenta the newcomer gave off the feeling of a cunning and deadly predator. One that needed to be dealt with quickly if she wanted to keep this area for herself.
She wasn't concerned with Kenta but the new, oddly dressed ghoul was a bit more of an issue. So without any further hesitation, while the two were distracted with each other and she had the element of surprise, she quickly leaps from the perch she was on down towards them, sending her tendrils down towards the tall ghoul while she was still falling.

As Kenta took up his guard, Jaco stopped and raised both arms, his smile growing a bit more friendly as he waved both hands off as if to show he meant no harm. “I’ll have you know young man, I’m doing the same thing. A prey’s predator’s predator is a friend. And I thi-“ Jaco stiffened up as his Koukakku manifested from both of his shoulders, ripping out violently like two massive flowers opening wide. They were pale grey with vivid spots of black against their dull background. The flower petals opening turned outwards, pointing their tips towards Jaco’s back. Jaco smelled the second presence move and had turned his head just in time to notice the Rinkaku tails coming down at him from above. His grin turned malicious as his Koukakku flower petals moved to enclose around the tails, to grip them violently and hold them where they were. “Don’t you know it’s rude to interrupt…” Jaco spoke as he moved to encapsulate the tails of his prey with his own. The movement would have been fast, moving just as they manifested from Jaco's back to trap his opponent. If he was successful in capturing this fool of a predator looking to dine upon Kenta and Jaco, Jaco would quickly manifest his Bikaku tail and move to slam it upwards, pointing both ends in a single stabbing point. This would be aimed to debilitate one of the Rinkaku tails of the masked conversational intruder for, Jaco exerting more energy and focusing on the physiology of the tail of this interrupting sow. It would be a fast and painful stab, quickly in, clipping the nerves he focused on with his Bikaku tail’s ends, and sliding just as fast out of the Rinkaku tail’s shape. After both attacks had been made, Jaco would shift his his entire body and move to toss the Ghoul aside and into the wall of a nearby store front, hopefully slamming them down and giving them an opportunity to relish in the misery that awaited them at Jaco’s hands. “As I was saying… I think we should feast together. But the parts that matter? They’re mine.” Jaco’s face upturned as his grin widened and his tongue slipped from between his lips, licking along the lower lip’s edge with a sadistic satisfaction as his eyes seemed to scream the possibilities within his mind aloud to the waking world. {Spoiler}{ Stats, Traits, & Weapons} - Strength: A-Rank

So to say a lot of happened in the seconds that he was waiting for the odd ghouls' response would have been stating the obvious. However Kenta was no less surprised by the speeds that these two ghouls had moved at was something Kenta hadn't expected. Jaco's comment also caused a bit of concern from Kenta but he couldn't address that right now as he focused his attention on the ghoul who had suddenly attacked.
He figured that while she was still recovering from Jaco's attack, he should take advantage of her vulnerability. So he rushes her as she's pulling herself out from the window of the store and leaps forward, spinning in the air to whip his tail around to slash at her. She catches the movement and snarls as she holds out her arm in front of her as her Koukaku sprouts from her shoulders and wraps around her arm just in time to block the axe-like tail.
Kenta's Bikaku cuts deeper than she expected but her body was already healing the wound as she was hardly bothered by his attack. However she was surprised to find one of her tendrils immobilized and unresponsive to her as she went to try and move it to attack Jaco while the other darted towards Kenta who dodged, the adrenaline in him pushing him to move out of the way much quicker than he was used to moving and having him just narrowly dodging the attack.
This caused the ghoul to growl in frustration even more as she then redirected her attention to the other ghoul and darted towards him again, using her tendril to try and slash at Jaco, the one responsible for disabling one of her other Rinkaku.{ Kenta's Condition} Manifested Stats- Strength: B
