Personality: somewhat shy, peaceful, peace-loving, a pacifist by nature, self-conscious, likes sun, cooking, cleaning, and being with her friends
Background: WARNING: NOT SAFE FOR WORK (NSFW)
As a human, Akiko grew up in a small fishing village on the shores Okinawa, Japan where she live a peaceful life with her family and friends until Japan entered World War II. Because she was a woman, she wasn't required to join the military but she was required to undergo self-defense training. Other than that, her life remained normal until it was interrupted once more- the Americans invaded the shores of her home island. She was held at gunpoint, tied up, thrown into a small, dark cell, yelled at in a language that she couldn't understand, spat at, and kicked- it was terrifying, she couldn't understand why they would do such a thing when she had done nothing to them. After hours of physical and verbal abuse it finally stopped and she crawled into the farthest corner of the cell and wept until exhaustion overcame her and she passed out. She woke up to a hand covering her mouth and a knife to her throat. The man spoke in broken Japanese, "Speak. Kill." and then began to rape her. Once that man was done, another came, and then another... and then another... and then another... She soon lost count. Her only shelter was the farthest corner of her mind where she was numb and where she could shut out all of her surroundings. She was eventually shaken to consciousness by another man but this time it was someone she knew, her uncle; the men that had raped her were all lying in a still-growing pool of blood. He fed her something that she thought was a pill but she couldn't see what it was. Instead of going down her throat, it got stuck at the back of her throat and she instinctively gagged but it wouldn't come out, she then felt it move and she panicked. Her uncle ignored her reaction and just picked her up and ran. They somehow were able to get to a fishing boat that was tied to a tree far away from the American troops without being detected. From there, they fled to one of the many small islands and hid.
Her transformation into a Homunculus was swift and almost painless. Her uncle told her everything, how he and her father were from a dying lineage of Alchemists, and how he had saved her by feeding her a Homunculus Core Embryo that was infused with green onion, something readily on-hand. Afterwards, they hid for a long, long time until they were somehow found by a scouting Japanese ship and taken aboard where they learned that the war had ended. Akiko decided to travel but eventually settled on a small, unpopulated island where she lived peacefully once more until she was tracked down by other Homunculi and persuaded to join their cause.
Despite being a Homunculus, she prefers to not be in homunculus form and has never felt the desire to eat humans as she can get most of her nutrition from photosynthesis, one of the benefits of being part plant. Even though she knows that she is super human and immortal, she is still skittish around most men because of her traumatizing experience.
Homunculus Type: Plant, Green Onion
Description of Abilities:
Akiko has slightly faster and more effective regeneration than other Homunculi because of her green onion attributes.
In the event that she loses a body part, that part can grow into a completely new Akiko given time, similar to how one can grow a whole new onion from an old onion's roots. All of her copies share the same abilities and are able to telepathically share information with one another.
She is able use photosynthesis to provide herself with most of the energy she needs.
Able to meld with natural ground and materials and travel that way or hide to avoid detection. She cannot meld with concrete, solid metal, or other man-made materials. While doing so, she is also able to absorb nutrients and water from the soil.
When damaged, she releases highly-concentrated propanethiol S-oxide from her wound which reacts with water (vapor in the air, her own lost fluids, etc.), forming highly concentrated sulfuric acid. (Nasty stuff, I've seen what it can do to a paper towel, not pretty...) She is immune to the effects of acid due to her thick, neutralizing cuticle.
While in Homunculus form, her leaves are extremely sharp blades and can cut through an I-beam with no trouble.

(can't find a good monster-ish picture... So here's a picture of miku instead)
Name: Keiko Sarusaki Age: Appears to be 12-13. Gender: Female Personality: Your classic tsundere;she'd rather give up her left arm than show her feelings.She acts more mature than her age would
hint,and hides her compassion for her fellow Homunculi beneath a rude demeanor.Generally cheerful,slightly sadistic in battle.Considers eating
human flesh as 'disgusting',and thus feeds exclusively on large ammounts of animal products,and protein-filled veggetables.Adores bananas. Background:
Keiko Sarusaki's origin is in a small city on the Coast of Hokkaido,Japan.As a human,she came from a rather wealthy family - the reason why
she was kidnapped for.The culprits - a small gang named Chi - asked for a considerable ammount of money,a ferry-boat and old wine in
exchange of her.
After receiving the money,however.they deemed it useless to retrieve the girl - so they thrown her into the water,once they were out on the
ferry-boat in the navy waters underneath moonlit sky.
The feeling of drowning is terrible - you feel the air vanish,and you gasp,trying to refill your demanding lungs - but underwater,oxygen is
impossible to inhale.So your lungs are filled with liquid,and you slowly start to slip out of consciousness,in a blissful peace,numb to the chilling
feeling of water around you.You die.
Keiko didn't.Arms wraped around her small frame,and she was pulled out of the abyss she was falling into,right before giving her last breath.
Homunculus Type: Animal(Monkey) Description of Abilities:
Destructive Power: Keiko's strength is ridiculously high,even for a homunculus,which she can use without necessarily transforming.She can create a crater with a mere finger touch in concrete ground,or destroy a wall with a punch.Her strength is,however,under perfect control;she can dose the ammount of force she uses,albeit she might lose it under certain circumstances,such as anger or extreme pressure.
Extreme Flexibility: Keiko is extremely flexible,being able to bend in any position and fit in almost any space,in both human and homunculus form.
Enchanched Agility and Speed: The final Monkey Reflex she possesses;she can run with a speed of 250 km/h (take or give a few) even in her human form and jump at high parameters with ease (such as reaching the fifth floor of a building with a single jump without switching forms).During the transformation,she can use her tail to form an arc and further enchance her jumps.
Vix can't recall where he was born, or who was important to him due to an 'accident.' He is a mute who was taken in by the only person that he feels he can trust, a man who he notes as grandfather, due to his age. His 'grandfather' would be labeled under on of those who believe in the supernatural and things of that nature. What Vix can remember is that when he first used his ability in the presence of the man, he wasn't shunned, but trained the best the elderly man could.
The elder didn't have any powers, but he did have knowledge of certain martial arts. Now he spends his time attempting to live a life he wants to use as a facade to mask his true nature.
Homunculus Type: Plant Branch (Rose)
Description of Abilities:
Rose Whip: An ability which red rose vines exits through his hand like several whips. He can control it to the point where he could it as a means of travel and a main weapon. He can used it at any finger or toe. The thorns are sharp and can be spread out to certain lengths of the desire of Vix, only drawback is that it takes blood and a bit of energy.
Photosynthesis: Common sense. A plant is able to perform photosynthesis.
Dance of Petals: A technique where his palm would summon a set of unlimited rose petals where he would launch at others. The petals of the roses are sharp, and can cause some problems. The drawback is the same as the whip.
