<strong>Character Name:</strong>Dr. Julie Kayama<br/><strong>Character Type:</strong>Cursed<br/><strong>Affiliation:</strong>Good<br/><strong>Special Abilities:</strong>Her psychic powers are weak offensively, but strong when used for defense.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Dr. Kayama prefers to wear a black dress, heels, and a white lab coat in laboratory settings, though out in the field she dresses in a more practical fashion. She is twenty-two years old, but looks younger. Julie always wears her glasses, and has fairly poor vision without them.<br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/78/SayuriSakamoto.JPG)<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Julie Kayama is the only child of Atsuko Kayama, a courtesan who was coerced into sex with a demon. From a young age Julie was unusually brilliant, and at twelve years old she was accepted for university-level study. Her interests included physics, chemistry, and learning about the supernatural forces of demons and angels. She was also fascinated by politics and philosophy, but never had much time to devote to those areas.<br/><br/>Atsuko did everything she could to hide her daughter’s “condition.” In fact, she never actually told Julie directly what she was—only that her daughter had to hide the fact that she was different from other humans. However, Julie learned about the Blessed and Cursed fairly early on and realized that she was one of the latter. She was frightened by the implications and kept everyone at a distance out of fear.<br/><br/>At age eighteen Julie had a doctorate in “universal physics,” a relatively new field that attempted to unify quantum mechanics and relativity with the psychic and elemental forces of the supernatural world. She also had a fair amount of engineering knowledge. These skills brought her to the attention of those who were developing weapons for use against vampires and demons.<br/><br/>The military investigated Julie, and her first encounter with one of the Blessed led to her secret being uncovered. She was detained and put through a rigorous psychological and psychic screening. Ultimately, the higher-ups among the human and angel forces decided to make use of her skills, though she was guarded and monitored closely. She has been allowed only occasional contact with her mother—Atsuko now runs a brothel on a military base.<br/><br/>Julie lead the team which developed the psi-shield, a device which uses the energy of powerful psychic beings such as angels to make them briefly invulnerable to most forms of attack. She has contributed to many other projects and is considered one of the foremost weapons researchers alive today—this fact means she is of particular interest to the enemy. She often comes in contact with Blessed and even angels due to her prominent position, but she is uncomfortable around them due to her ancestry.<br/><br/><strong>Other:</strong>Dr. Kayama is driven most strongly by her intellectual curiosity, though she also wishes to see the forces of humanity triumph in the war. She does somewhat resent that she no longer has any real control over her life, though she recognizes the necessity of her restrictions.<br/><br/>She is a little shy and often lonely, though she still manages to be relatively personable. Other than an occasional joke here or there, she rarely shows much emotion. It is very difficult to make Julie lose her temper, though her demonic heritage causes her anger to be frightful if it does emerge.<br/><br/>The young scientist has a very quick and analytical mind, so much so that anyone who psychically assaults her finds her mind to be akin to a maze filled with fatal traps. However, she has almost no experience using her own psychic powers against anyone else. Her mental powers are triggered most strongly by feelings of fear.
