@angelfur (Thank you for correcting it. There aren't any open characters right now, but perhaps you'd settle for me claiming another Sign? People aren't lining up to join, so me taking on another isn't bad at all x3)

(Finished)
|| Shu (Rat) || The Rat || 27 || Male || || A tall, 5'11 height. He has smooth white skin, and a body of lean muscles. His hair is an ivory black, and goes down to just past his mid back, and he usually keeps it in a fishtail braid. Eyes are a stunning gray to match his dark hair nicely. His body is mostly undamaged, except for his right hand. All the fingers are missing to just past the first knuckle. So, he wears one of these on each nub to make it look like a hand, except there's an underside added. It's a good thing he writes with his left!|| || Animal Form || || His Beastial Form is 20 feet in height. || || Shu, centuries ago, was put in charge of the world's knowledge and fate. His powers include conscious projection (can see into past, anywhere in the present, and future), telepathy and fortune manipulation (he can't manipulate the fortune of other Zodiac though.) || || Shu is usually calm and collected, and always quite relaxed. No one has ever seen him scare because he always has an idea about what's to come. He can't officially say he does, because everything is always subject to change. If he is for sure on something though, even before it happens, he will not budge. When he was first created, the creator of the Zodiac put him in charge of recording history. Chronicling everything became his job, and it still is. His powers to view the past helped as well. Shu will spare no one, honestly, if it means his own benefit. That's why he left the Zodiac when they all saw fit in leaving their master. And where did he end up? In the clutches of the government, but not to be tortured. No... Shu bargained with the monsters, because that's what he does best. Deal making. If not for endless knowledge, humans would not even be able to contain the Zodiac. That's another trait of the Rat. He is the smartest out of all the Zodiac, and among the smartest beings in the history of... everything. Ask him something, and he has an answer. Yet, he is cunning and a gifted strategist, which is why the others haven't discovered his traitorous acts yet. || || Bisexual (leans toward males) || TBR ||

[ honestly. im so tired and uncreative. im just going to pretend ollie was in the house the whole time. sorry this is so short and lame. anyway, the big 'wave' was charlie's soul from all those posts ago. ]
The blond man known as Ollie laid on the couch, one long leg thrown lazily over the back, the other bent closer to him. His head was hanging back against the arm of the furniture, whilst a finger tapped against his stomach almost impatiently. Without question he loved these moments where he could be alone and reflect upon himself, but it was...lonely. Plus, with more people around, he always felt more comfortable. Here, he was alone with anxious thoughts like: 'What was that noise??' or 'Is someone going to burst in and kill us all right now oh my God help??'
Ollie was caught off-guard as a powerful wave swept through the area, shaking everything in the house violently. He was sitting upright in hardly a second, heart pumping wildly. Was that an earthquake?? Oh God, don't let it be an earthquake. It didn't quite feel like one, though. It felt somewhat familiar, and powerful. Zodiac magic? Something in the kitchen crashed and shattered loudly. Likely his glass of water he had gotten, set doen, and forgot about. Though, that wasn't his concern. He was too busy wondering if he was going to die today.

Jacob grumbled as he was considering asking Beckett out but was also considering not asking him out because Beckett was way to good for him. "I hate my life....." He muttered to himself as he walked around randomly almost ignoring the wave of energy but it did catch his attention. "What the?" He said as he felt the energy.

(I don't have much to work with, so I don't have much to put out. Here's my reply ;_; )
'Idiots,' Shu mentally snorted 'Such petty thoughts go through your minds.' Not spending too much time on the other Zodiac, he resumed writing in his book, which looked something like a black bible with silver stripes on the spine. As usual, he was recording down everything everywhere as it happened. If anyone ever wanted answers to something, they could simply read the books of his library. He puppy guarded any book he had on him though, especially the most recent ones, which had his traitorous acts in the pages. With a sigh, he finished a sentence before closing his book. With the object under his arm, he walked into the living area, seeing Ollie on the couch and Jacob walking around. Going to one of the other couches, he settled down and yawned.
"Are both of you going to just ponder what that could've been?" He asked bluntly, head resting in a hand as he positioned himself to be laying down pretty much. No elaboration was made, because Shu didn't necessarily care. All he did was open his book back up and resume writing.

"Not exactly....I have other things on my mind....." Jacob said bitterly to Shu as he manipulates Shu's energy to drain slowly not fast enough for Shu to notice but slowly with just enough power to double the speed of energy drainage. "And I'd rather not have someone in my mind if you don't mind Shu." He mumbled to Shu with his usually bitterness that taints his spirit.

"I will as soon as you stop using your petty tricks on me," Shu said simply, still scribbling away "If I can read minds, what makes you think such idiocy will go undetected?" He scratched the slight stubble on his chin for a second, pausing his writing. "Gain smarts, and learn not to prey on your own." All the while, he didn't once look up from his work, or when he'd paused. As the soft sounds of writing sounded again, his gray eyes trailed the pencil in his hand and the words it created.

[ uh oh i can feel a fondness for shu growing within me. asshole characters are godtier :,( i almost forgot—i completely rewrote ollie's personality b/c it was written disgustingly. it's on page two, if you want to add it whenever you get the chance, but i can repost him for you if you'd like. ]
Ollie looked over at the Tiger from the corner of his eye, having not even realized that he was near until he spoke. With a frown, he looked away again. Maybe he was losing his edge. "Ah, g-good morning, Jacob." He stuttered slightly, but otherwise, he managed to appear calm. No part of him expected a polite greeting in return—because of the other man's nature, and because he assumed that he too would be more focused on what the heck that tremor was and whether they all were going to die—but he turned and smiled almost uneasily at him. When Shu entered the living room as well, he began to wonder how many of them were awoken just then. Hopefully they wouldn't all come out and start screaming. That would be unfortunate.
Ollie was so absorbed in his wandering thoughts that he hardly noticed when the rat spoke. Quietly, as per his nature, he watched the two exchange words. Just to wish he had stayed inside his mind. These two were petty.
Finally, he interjected. "Was that...'tremor' something we should be, you know...concerned about, Shu?" Ollie creased his brows as he fumbled for the right wording. The rat didn't seem too on edge (though, he realized, he never did), so he let himself sink back a little in his seat.

"What do you mean prey on your own." Jacob said to Shu. He would keep draining Shu's energy slowly as Shu keeps talking. Shu if you mean about...my...err.....crush....don't even say a thing. If you don't know that I can easily kill you. He thought knowing Shu could hear his thoughts with telepathy. "I don't know what you mean Shu."

"I have no idea Ollie. Perhaps you should investigate." Jacob said bitterly to him as his spirit starts to become more tainted with all the cruelty he is feeling towards the other Zodiacs and himself. He would remain focused on draining Shu's energy but also draining a slight fragment of Ollie's energy as well but not enough to kill him or make him fall asleep but just to make him feel off.

"Yes," Shu decided "And no. Charlie and Beckett got into a spot of... trouble, but they should be fine. Nothing to worry about, really." Even though it really was. Charlie wasn't out of the woods yet, and Beckett was close to being beaten on by darkness. Writing away, he used his armored hand to hold the book still, and his flesh hand to create words. He did so calmly, because he had known about everything he was writing. As Jacob still drained his energy, he thought back 'If you want to usefully deplete my energy, visit me in my bedroom. Our creator gave me pass on death, so that I may record history forever. So, death isn't something I do. And, I didn't mean Beckett. I meant your petty ability. Use that brain of yours.' Yes, Jacob could drain his energy, but not kill him with it. The thought of death made him mentally snort. Smiling slightly, he said aloud to the Tiger "I like an unintelligent man. Makes me feel superior. Fancy dating a rat? Instead of, you know, him?"

[ thanks smokey!! edit: oops i didnt see your response there ]
Ollie told himself he would at least try to be friendly to people, even if it wasn't his nature. But a person could only have so much, y'know? He was anxious enough with that weird wave of energy (with his paranoia and all). The Tiger's rudeness and drainage only sent him over the edge.
"Grow up, Jacob!" The Ram snapped at him with a glare. His regenerating powers kicked into gears, replacing what power he lost and removing his queasy feeling. He looked back at Shu, rubbing his hands together and trying to calm down a tad. He doubted the man would even falter, but he felt like he just took a knife and stabbed him. Clenching his jaw, Ollie rested his chin on his fist and waited for someone sensible to speak.
Ollie shifted a little and relaxed as Shu reassured their safety. "Okay." He said simply, his tone and body becoming neutral again. He resisted the quirk of his eyebrow as the rat implied that the tiger had a special someone, instead just continuing to watch them talk back and forth, still seeming pathetic to him (although he kept that to himself this time).

The Tiger would hesitate as the rat seemed to be asking him out. "W-What do you mean him Shu....." He said already knowing exactly what Shu meant but not wanting to seem like it. He began to return the energy he stole from Shu but not all of it just enough to keep him from falling asleep but still enough lacking to keep him sort of tired and weak.

"I'll tell you after you answer my first question," the Rat said lazily, still writing "Unless you gained an IQ point and already know what I'm talking about?" Finally, his eyes left the book, closing it with his flesh hand. Setting the book down in his lap, Shu's gray orbs looked over at Ollie first. If only Jacob would actually heed the Ram's words. He felt his energy somewhat returned, and was tempted to slap Jacob anyway. The idea was satisfying. Laughing softly, he spoke aloud "I just realized how entertaining you are, Jacob. However, I chose competence over entertainment sometimes. And yes, I'm talking about you, Ollie. Such a shame not everyone is as acceptable as you are, hm?"

"Shu quit being a nosey mind reader." the Tiger said bitterly through gritted teeth. He knew the rat was asking him out earlier but he still didn't feel he should accept the request cause of how he felt for Beckett. "I'm...gonna go....somewhere." He said as he walked off calmly letting Shu's energy slam back into him with pain.
