Shinigami

Sorry...Who Are You?

Name: Seiryuu, Jirou
Age: 716
Gender: Male
Squad/Position: Kido Corps - Captain/Lieutenant

What Makes Us...Us?

Height & Weight Ht: 6’ 1” (185.41 cm) , Wt: 187 lbs (86.16 kg)
Hair & Eye Colour Hair:Brown, Eyes: Amber
Noticeable Difference

Spoiler:

Jirou stands at 186 cm and 86 kg, being of a rather athletic appearance. His toned and trimmed body is due to years of exercising his spiritual body in Sou Society and a life long determination to become stronger. His skin is fair complexion and blemish free, with few scars dotting his upper and lower torso. These scars are more badges of courage, rather than disfiguring marks and some actually find them more appealing than a clean cut young man. The color of his skin is a slightly tan color accenting his chestnut brown hair and amber eyes equally well.

Traditionally the Kido Corps used to hide their faces in order to keep their identities secret, and as such Jirou followed orders until it was no longer some one else giving the orders. Swearing to never hide himself from his fellow shinigami, he swore off the mask that hid his face, though due to tradition the rest were required to keep their identity hidden from others. He seldom liked to stand out and wears the traditional Shihakusho that is assigned to every Shinigami upon graduation from the academy, as well as his Navy blue Haori that was passed onto him by the previous general of the Kido Corps.

His short, messy chestnut brown hair is often left unattended and gives him a luster that some find quite appealing, and others find simply lazy. In addition to his amber eyes that mark his graceful features is a nearly indistinguishable scar over his left eye that is so faint, it is nearly invisible. The only other markings that appear on him are a long black dragon tattoo that was recently added to his forte. The dragons head rests just below his clavicle and the body stretches across his shoulder and spin, finally ending at his lower back.

Positive Traits

Kind, Compassionate

The best word to describe the enigmatic young leader of the Kido Corps, is kind. He feels that to enable a friend like relationship with his subordinates and an overall camaraderie in the division he would be able to greatly boost morale and productivity. By doing such he would be hailed as a better leader, and those who worked diligently under him would appreciate, and respect him more than before. Therefore he goes through great strides in order to settle any dissention or dishonesty peacefully, preferring not to take matters outside of the Kido Corps directly. By being kind and compassionate he has developed a working relationship with his comrades in the Kido Corps, as well as other important figures both in the Gotei 13 and outside of it as well.
Courageous

Jirou is incredibly daring and courageous. Often preferring to throw his own self into the fray ahead of the lesser ranked soldiers; he inspires courage and bravery in a battlefield. By showing that he is willing to put his life on the line for each member, he builds upon his charismatic leadership in order to inspire all those around him. By taking on difficult or strenuous missions or exercises, he shows that no matter what adversity there is in the world, he can push through and forge a better world. He has been commended on many occasions for his bravery and courageous actions in the past, though he has on occasion lost members from his own group in battle.
Charismatic Leader

Jirou is a charismatic leader do to his pride, unyielding demeanor, bravery in the face of adversity, and compassion. He can inspire the lowliest soldier to make a daring charge onto a fortified bunker with only a knife in his hands and the courage in his heart. He spins various words of wisdom and virtous stories in order to build morale within the Kido Corps, often feeling the best way to take down a target or to accomplish any mission is through teamwork and camaraderie. His charisma and other virtues make it hard for some to say no to him, even in dire situations. Some would call it manipulative to use such virtues to attain something, but others would feel that he simply inspires those around him to be better.
Unyielding Determination
Ever since entering the Shinōreijutsuin (Spiritual Arts Academy), he has had an unyielding determination to succeed at whatever he puts his mind too. He has a strong will and determination that has helped him overcome numerous battles with inner demons, as well as external conflicts involving the ever growing enemies of Soul Society. By pushing forward, and through his unyielding determination he was able to become one of the foremost authorities on Kido use. He doesn’t view any accomplishment as the end of his journey and strives to be better than the day before, constantly pushing towards that unlimited goal.
Proud

Although he does not always show it, Jirou is an incredibly proud soul. He is not proud of accomplishments, or commendations per say, rather his own strength. He doesn’t view his rank or title as a method of measuring his abilities, but considers how far he came from a street Urchin in Rukongai to where he is seated now. His own perseverance and determination have lead him to be one of the most important people in Sereitei, though no small effort. Though he holds his pride back, losing in a battle or even losing members of the Kido Corps in battle often bruises his pride, and he may binge drink for several days in order to recuperate or mourn the lost.

Negative Traits

Reckless

Jirou is at times reckless. This simply means he tends not to think to far ahead, and prefers to “wing it” on the go. Not the strongest strategist, he often rushes in head first with his Zanpaktou or stays at a long range and fires Kido from a distance. What this means for his division, often it ends in losses for the divison as a whole. Though do to his charismatic nature, and the seemingly growing supply of fresh shinigami being exported to the Kido Corps, it is never viewed as a huge mistake. He takes each of these excursions as a loss, and often binge drinks blaming himself for his own recklessness and being unable to change in the future.
Over Confident
Jirou is incredibly confident in battle, to a point where it has caused him to become greatly wounded in the past. Though he speaks of camaraderie and working as a team, he seldom does. The Fuku Taicho often becomes aware of this quickly, as the contradictive nature of his own preaching’s becomes apparent when watching Jirou fight. He tends to be a lone wolf, preferring to fight on alone while the others take out targets. Usually he will pick the strongest opponent and force them away from the group, confident that he would be able to defeat them alone. Due to this and his reckless nature, he has become severely wounded several times in the past. Though not as prominent now that he is in a position of leadership, his confidence still borders on arrogance.
Emotionally Crippled

Jirou refuses to allow people to get to close to him, or develop close friendships with others. His experiences in the past, with them dying have left him somewhat emotionally crippled. Though he is in general a kind, honest and compassionate person, he refuses to allow others close to him for fear of their death. This has proved extremely taxing in several instances where he has lashed out against others for sharing sympathy, in which he later had to apologize.
Introverted

Jirou is somewhat of an introvert; he gets extremely nervous around large groups of people and often has to rely on liquid courage in order to do any public speaking. It is a vice he keeps well hidden, and never drinks enough to impair his judgment or skills.

TMI?:

As previously stated on the virtues and flaws of Jirou, he tends to put on a bravado when addressing others, however in truth he finds it hard to follow his own advice. Often the lone wolf type, he tends to charge into battle and thinks not of his own personal injury or danger. Often later placing himself in unpredictable and devastating situations where he has no other choice but to rely on others to come to his aid.

On top of his aforementioned personality virtues and flaws, he tends to be quite the drinker when not being observed by members of his own division. Sake is his favorite drink, though he prefers several types of liquor varying in taste and degree from around the area. Among other things, he is somewhat of a gambler as well. Finding his rather reckless nature hard to suppress when there is money to be won.

A Bond That Can't Be Denied

Zanpakuto Spirit:
Name: Amenonuhoko [Heavenly Spear]

Spoiler:

Spirit Appearance: The spirit of Amenonuhoko appears in two forms, the predominant one and a lesser one whom appears in a physical form to Jirou on occasion. The dominant form is the one the spirit takes in the inner world when speaking with Jirou and appears as a very large dragon. The dragon form is nearly 500 yards from head to tail in length when on all fours, and due to the nature of the inner world resides on an equally impressive island hovering over an endless black ocean. The dragons skin is black scale on the exterior and on the interior is a dark lavender or purple color. Its horned head and rather primal look add to its ferocity and uncanny appearance one would envision. Jirou feels that the form of this spirit represents his inner turmoil, and primal urges manifesting themselves in his inner world. The other appearance of the spirit is a cloaked young boy. The child stands only on average of around 3 feet and wears a tattered black cloth over its body and face hiding its appearance from him. Two yellow eyes peer out from underneath the shadows and the deep menacing voice of Amenonuhoko is ever present within his mind whilst speaking. Regardless of the two forms in which his spirit presents itself, the nature of the beast is always unchanging and unyielding. The child like form Jirou believes to be an inner fear, or fear of losing one’s self manifesting. A pair of shackles is present on the dragon and child form of the spirit.

Personality: Many of Jirous words come from the wise spirit of his Zanpaktou. The dragon though ferocious in appearance, tends to prefer stability, pacification, and aiding Jirou in his moral dilemmas throughout life. The spirit guides Jirou down a correct path and has aided him in many times, offering consultation on mistakes Jirou has made, and mixing words of wisdom and sympathy while consoling him over the loss of friends. In battle the spirit professes strategy and inspires strength in Jirou.

Inner World:

Spoiler:

The general atmosphere of the island often changes as does the inner weather depending on situations. When visited during battle, the island sways back and forth in the wind violently being pelted by hail and rain. This atmosphere describes the turbulence of the external and internal elements. While not in combat the island floats peacefully over an endless sea below them. The island is a vast landscape of grass and sparse patches of brush and trees that line the edges of the island. The cave in which the spirit of the Zanpaktou resides is near the center of the island.

The interior of the cavern is large, moist and often dimly lit by torches located on the walls. The dragon often lays here and is never seen outside of the cavern. It is seemingly shackled to this place and unable to move to far from the entrance to the cavern.

Sealed Zanpakuto:

The sealed form of Amenonuhoko is the traditional japanese Katana. The only difference in the sealed form is the decoration on the pommel of the sword, as well as the design on the sheathe of the sword. The traditional white steel Katana and black handle are similar and uniform like to all the other sealed typs, though on Jirou's a dragon adornment rests squarely on the pommel of the blade. As well a long serpent like dragon is etched in gold on the accompanying sheathe implying its direct relation to the form the spirit takes.

Shikai Appearance :
Type: Kido - Fire (Combustion)
Call out Phrase: "Kanen Amenonuhoko!" [Lit. Explode Heavenly Spear!]

A typically unheard of weapon in both the physical and spiritual world. A double bladed spear is a weapon to both defend and attack at the same time and requires a great amount of time to master even in its more practical applications. Never the less the weapons two blades are equally balanced and allow for fluid motion between the two ends. The handle itself is slightly longer than a normal sword wielder would be able to effectively use. Do to the edges of the blades positioned in opposite ends of the handle, the spear can be effective for slashing a target or targets in a concentric circle. The blades are also come to a point allowing it to pierce its target as well. Though it is a spear, like the naginata it is not typically thrown.

Spoiler:

Shikai Abilities:

Jirou gains the ability to utilize and manipulate fire in its rawest form, explosive power. Rather than using the natural thermal power that friction creates to form fire and its burning properties, the energy used to create friction of molecules increases at a much higher rate growing exponentially allowing for an explosion to take place. Put simply, when an attack is launched instead of the fire burning the target or incinerating something it causes an explosive attack. For example, if he were to launch a long range attack of a ball of fire, normally the thermal nature of fire would simply burn a target, however his zanpaktou's energy excites the thermal energy in the fire causing it to explode rather than burn. The blade itself, being double bladed allows him to attack and defend in melee combat, however as he is simply proficient in Zanjutsu, not nearly as strong as some senior or more experienced members.

The zanpaktou allows him to utilize a hybrid style of attack using both melee and long range attacks in order to defeat an opponent instead of strictly relying on one or another. Because of the wide variety and possibilities of the weapons attacks, it is possible to be a proficient long range attacker or a melee adversary while others pound away at the enemy from a distance.

Along with the limitations placed on the space available, water is the polar opposite of fire and enough of it would be able to extinguish a projectile before it got close enough to them to explode. The limitations on range on which one can release projectile attacks, as well as the elemental weakness against water type attacks.

FLASHBACK

Background:

I.

Jirou no longer remembers any of his life in the physical world, or even what his life had been life. He simply remembers what his Ojiisan had told him about his life coming into soul society. Before he had entered into afterlife, he was the son of two poor farmers in 13th century Japan, who were unable to afford for the child. Most certainly the child would soon starve to death, and fearing the cosmic karma would burden their souls, the parents simply left the babe in the wilderness to die. It was not unexpected, or unusual for families unable to take care of such children to do a thing such as his parents. It was near commonplace in the time and place.

Do to the cold climates and the inability to feed or protect itself, the baby who had not even been given a proper name left the world on the cold embrace of the icy winds of winter. Though freezing to death would be most painful, the young spirit of the child would not have to worry about the dangers of the afterlife, such as hollows or other beasts that go bump in the night. After its departure from the world of the living, the child’s spirit was quickly found by a Shinigami who was able to perform the soul burial without complication and allow the child to be reborn in Soul Society.

Leaving the infant in the care of an older hermit who lived on the edges of western Rukongai, the shinigami would not appear in the childs life, till many centuries later. The older man, Isame Seirryu promised to watch over the infant and guide him down the appropriate path to a life of eternal happiness. Since the spiritual body did not need sustenance, the baby ate only seldom and what seemed like months turned into years before the child began to mature from an infant into a young child. Isame, gave the child the name Jirou meaning “First Son” and allowed Jirou to take his surname Seirryu meaning “Azure Dragon” and so the lineage would be passed on to him. However, as soon as he was able to speak Jirou simply referred to the elderly figure as Ojiisan or grandpa and quickly developed a strong relationship that would last hundreds of years.

For the first few years of Jirou’s life, he learned about the approach of Zen and the act of selflessness. His grandfather had begun raising him to farm the small garden in order to build character and strength, as well as provide a source of nutrients. Though they did not feel hunger, the old man felt it was some semblance of normalcy they could have as a family. Often Jirou would accompany his grandfather on visits into western Rugonkai and watch as his the older men would play Mahjong or discuss the day’s events. In the latter days, he would find children his own age and quickly befriended many of them discussing the summers, or playing marbles on the dirt covered streets.

The early years of his life were seldom strained, or distraught and he enjoyed his time with his grandfather for the first 100 years of his life he lived in quiet contemplation and growth. By his 101st birthday (or rather the day he appeared in Soul Society) he had grown to the appearance of a lad no older than 12 years of age. Though he was developing slowing he was maturing quickly due to the teachings of his grandfather. Though, in his heart, Jirou envied the Shinigami who passed through on occasion. People respected, and feared them but also trusted them. This was something that he wished to have as well. He wished for the admiration of people, the respect of Soul Society, and the kind of power that instilled a fear of justice. Though he was far from his goal, he began to view this as something he wished to accomplish in his lifetime.

As an adolescent he grew a little more restless, and often would have adventures into the forests beyond Rukongai with friends, taking part in various expeditions into caverns, and climbing trees so tall you could see all of Rukongai from the top. Such antics were often discouraged by his grandfather, and Jirou understood why his grandfather felt that way, but could not help feeling that he needed to venture forth and see the entirety of Soul Society. His reckless nature, and adventurous attitude often came in time, but the seeds for his future personality started here.

As he grew, he strengthened his spiritual body through the exercises his grandfather had taught him in his young life. However, soon he began to experience a feeling he had not felt before. Hunger. It was unusal for him to feel something and his grandfather stated it was proof that one day Jirou would be somebody important. Weeks after his 112th birthday a shinigami appeared at the old man’s estate. The Shinigami had explained to the young Jirou that his grandfather was a dear friend who had mentioned the growing spiritual power of the young boy. Though it was still faint, in time the boy would learn to control the power. The boy unsure of what this meant seemed frightened at the aspect of leaving his grandfather behind. The pair then explained that Jirou would be entered into the Shinōreijutsuin or Spiritual Arts Academy in order become a shinigami.

II.

The journey to Shinōreijutsuin was a short trip into Sereitei itself. The shinigami who led him was a kind man who had known his grandfather for years and was truthfully the one who originally brought him to his grandfather. Carrying all of his belongings and sweet cakes that his grandfather had made for him, Jirou settled into the academy quite well. His day to day activities first began with the basic understanding of what a Shinigami was and how they protected the living and spiritual worlds from evil creatures known as Hollow.

The first few years of training were dull and uneventful, most of the basic studies and movements. Often they would practice with wooden swords focusing on movements, while learning the extensive procedures of the shinigami. However, a few afterwards the true training began. The students would learn of Kido and the braches associated with it. Not only did they learn of it, they had to cast certain spells in order to progress further along in those classes. Most could not grasp something like Kido and received low scores in this area, though they managed to receive high marks in Zanjutsu.

Unlike his classmates however, Jirou quickly excelled at the formation of the spells and incantations they included. It was something he had practiced since youth without realizing it. Remembering the words of the spells came easy, and the training his grandfather had made him do early in life aided in his channeling of his own reishi in order to form the spells. In addition to this, he was proficient in Zanjutsu, however received low marks in strategy and hand to hand combat.

He impressed his instructors by showing how easily he could perform incantations from memory and channel enough energy in order to create the needed spell. For someone such as he with raw talent in Kido was not something they often saw. Most of the cadets were zanjutsu or hand to hand specialists, often failing or receiving barely passing marks. However, Jirou received the highest marks time and time again and was often teased, or mocked for his skillful use of the techniques. He seldom let his peers get to him with, and focused more on his studies. He seemed always eager to learn more, to experiment with the Kido and the mock Zanpaktou he was given to practice with. By the age of 250 he had progressed to an intermediate level of Kido and as he received his final marks in his academy he was approached by a mysterious and enigmatic figure. The man simply mentioned he was part of the Kido Corps, a secret division of the Gotei 6 who specifically recruited the talented individual who possessed phenomenal skills in Kido. T

The man explained that if Jirou chose to take this path, he would have to sacrifice his identity and would become a faceless asset for soul society. They wouldn’t gain much recognition or prestige outside of the division, but would partake in the most challenging missions and would be just as valuable if not more so than the 6 divisions. The Kido Corps offered a chance for him to become something more, but it cost a great price. He would never become a famous captain, or live in the spot light. He would simply exist in the background defending soul society to the best of his ability.

He told the man he would need to think about the decision and would come to a decision in one days time. Taking this time to venture home, Jirou told the old hermit about the choice he had to make. The old man gave caution about envying power and pride, but also saw where Jirou wanted to be. With the consent of the old man, and the knowledge that he might not be able to see his grandfather for hundreds of years if not more, Jirou returned to the academy and the representative of the Kido Corps with his final answer.

And so without an extravagant celebration or any kind of good bye to the friends at the academy Jiro faded into shadows where he would begin his training in the Kido Corps. At first he was a little take aback by the introduction and friendly welcoming party that some of the members had for him, but quickly warmed up to the comrades he would come to know and count on in his later days. After all was said and done, he met the then General of the Kido Corps who had welcomed him like a long lost son. He felt at home here, and would enjoy his time period here, though part of him would long to see his grandfather after a time.

At the age of 250 As an unknown and unseated member of the Kido Corps, Jirou spent his first years assigned to the Senkaimon gates and rather trivial tasks. He knew over time he would be given more important tasks and would wait until such a day as when he would be able to perform those tasks without hesitation and without any semblance of difficulty.

III.

The next four hundred years went fairly quickly in Jiroou’s opinion. He spent many of his years as a personal escort to the Lieutenant of the Kido Corps, or by being stationed at the Senkaimon where the Shinigami seemingly looked down on him. He viewed their arrogance and lack of respect rather appalling, and felt though the entire division was stronger than most. However his mentor, the lieutenant often offered words of wisdom and forbade Jirou from speaking against the Shinigami. As he had not yet unlocked his Shikai, he would not be able to move up to a greater position until he did.

While not on missions he would often sneak away into the training grounds in order to continue to train his body and mind, concentrating on attaining a greater power. After a time he manages his first interaction with his zanpaktou spirit Amenonuhoko. Afraid at first, the seemingly long conversation enlightened Jirou to the purpose of his power, and made him question his own role in the shaping of the world. The dragon seemingly speaking words of wisdom and encouragement would often engage Jirou afterward in quiet conversation, discussing the day’s events and how they would play out in the end. Though not entirely convinced his menial tasks would help him gain recognition, the dragon spirit often urged him to be more enthusiastic about extra duties as opposed to slinking in the background and expecting recognition.

Heeding the spirits words, Jirou began taking on more and more duties and responsibility. Soon be even proved that he had been able to achieve his Shikai and was promoted to one of the open seated positions. Though it was not the top of the ladder, it was at least more than he had hoped before. Now able to partake in more missions and such, he would be assigned certain tasks above letting out the shinigami.

In truth he would gain more experience in battle and later be able to show off his strength to his grandfather. His first few missions were to destroy small scale Hollow who had penetrated the living world. The combat experience proved useful in testing out his own Shikai abilities as well as the Kido he had been learning up to this point.

With enough determination and many successful missions, Jiro eventually climbed the ladder to the 8th seated member in the squad within two hundred and fifty years. He would Practice his strength and ability in combat while building upon his own character. Eventually it would lead him to become renowned for his own skills pushing him on the ladder towards greater achievements. He has become a foremost authority on Kido, like most of the higher ranking members of the Kido corps and has have proven himself a capable leader, aiding those who were with him and earning commendations as well.

Roleplaying Sample: The cold and brisk wind blew down from the mountainside into the forested valley which War rode through. He moved through the woods with an amazing speed which was to keep him from being spotted anymore. The castle which they were to attack was the home of the Daimyo and the legendary warrior general of Tetsu no Kuni. It would be an interesting thing to see never the less, War finally got to show off all of his talents and amazing Kenjutsu in one spectacular battle. Though that asshole Seisho was also here it was something of a pain. Seisho had abandoned Eiji in Konoha on previous recon mission and Eiji had never let him live it down. It was truly a cowardly and irritating thing to have done to someone. Regardless, orders were orders and Eiji remained in Konoha for near seven months before coming back to Tetsu no kuni. Eiji galloped through the snow, his red horse would have called attention to him if he had not been moving quickly without lessening his pace. Already he had to dispatch four guards who were on patrol. He wondered if Izanami as she was called ran into any problems. He knew Seisho would more than likely be late to this meeting as well so was hoping to make it to the meeting spot before him.

The faster he rode the colder he got before stopping next to Izanami. “I take it Famine has not arrived yet” he said waiting for her reply and looking at her small frame. Her fair complexion, her awkward beauty and battle skills made her attractive to anyone who did not know better. She was truly a depraved person, and someone the king did not feel comfortable leaving alone for long periods. She indeed was a confirmed cannibal. Something that disgusted Eiji, but to each their own he supposed. Instead of his bright red battle armor which he normally wore in occasions of battle, he wore black chainmail with red plates attached to the shoulders, legs, and wrists. He removed two scrolls from his saddle bag and unraveled one summoning his personal swords Okaetaki and Kyojou. The demonic looking weapons removed from the scrolls Eiji looks to the other horseman. “Try not to eat them all. I don’t think the King would like to find you snacking on his future servants when we return” He jests knowing that the coming battle will be like setting a lion to kill a house cat. The fabled general would be no match for two experience horseman and Izanami would be able to handle the Daimyo on her own.

Daimyo were nothing more than fat politicians who sucked the world of its wealth, yet it would be the Horsemen who were called vile, evil and uncaring for striking down the royal family. What the peasants did not see is that Tetsu would finally be united; there would be no more looming threat of chaos or war. This one act would set Tetsu on a path to prosperity. Eiji being the military strategist looked over floor plans of the castle, stolen from the royal archives by an infiltrator while Eiji was in Konoha. He looked to Tomoe. “If we plan this right, it will be over before the back up can even get here. As much as I love a good ol fashion brawl between the three of us and a thousand soldiers, I would like to be out before we can be cornered.” Eiji remarks hoping to hear some kind of sentiment about not eating the royal family, or some of them, and their plan on what to do if it came down to them battling the stationed garrison. “With the general dead and the Daimyo in question and unavailable, a third will flee, a third will likely stay and fight and a third will hide. With that said, I think our best chance is a frontal assault” Eiji explains hoping to come across to her so he didn’t have to reexplain it later. Seisho would just have to get the short version. They could not wait forever though, the cold was biting at their flesh and the darkness was quickly coming. Traversing Tetsu in the dark was not something done lightly, nor should it be done without proper guidance and rations.

“How was Konoha, War?"

Seisho, as usual was a jack ass for even bringing that up. “You know. Got stupid drunk, hit on the Hokage, caused somewhat of a disturbance I had to apologize for later, got punched in the face by the Hokage, left that village with an escort back to Kyoku. Its all in the mission report. How were your drug addicted whores? Still making up for the fact your mother didn’t love you?” War says making a snide remark about Seisho. Usually those with Kekkei Genkai hated anyone talking about their family. Famine was different though, he was a douche bag, but a skilled one at that. He smirked and turned to Death. Before hearing Famines other comment

"I see you're biting my style, can't blame you though. Looks good on you, kid,"

“Figured running around in blood red armor with the usual oddities, would attract way to much attention. This is a covert mission. We were never here if you can recall what our orders are. The palace is relatively unguarded do to the fact that the General is here. No one besides us would be able to take this place down without a thousand soldiers kicking down the front door. Because of that, our ‘King’ if you can call him that wants us to do this as quickly as possible to avoid a full scale war. With the leaders out of the way, there is no army.” War explains to his complacent comrade. The rumors of the general of the samurai were as widespread as the ones of the horseman. The general would definitely be a difficult foe and shouldn’t be underestimated. But he was an old man now and there was still Famine he had helping, though famine usually made War do all the work.

So simple and clean is how you want this? I'll try to keep him in one place. If not I'll just bring him along for a snack. We should probably take him as hostage. You just worry about that general. I hear he's a tough one, tougher than you War. lucky for you Famine will be there as back-up"

“Nah do your thing Death. The King wants the bastard dead so I guess it’s up to you on how to do it. As far as the general goes, he’s an old man but still one who has seen more battle and war than the three of us so for this assignment I am for once glad Famine is here. For once..” He remarks looking to the other n black armor hoping not to cause a sarcastic remark from him. “I don’t want to seem egotistical, but I don’t think anyone is tougher than me” he jokes trying to lighten the mood slightly before their charge into the dark abyss. He calmly gripped the demonic glowing long sword Okaetaki in his right hand waiting for the order to charge. Death was frightening in combat, something about a woman who eats people terrified war, somewhat. He was glad that they were on the same side, but things change with time. That was certain.

War’s mind drifted back to the meeting and briefing on the mission. It was ordered by the king that three of the four horsemen were to go to the samurai castle and kill the infamous general and the king to make sure there would be no war. If they were unsuccessful no doubt a full scale war would break out taking hundreds if not thousands of casualties on both sides and that was a figure War was willing to bet the ‘King’ would be able to live with. Unlike his father, the prince turned king was spoiled beyond belief and believed that the peasants and villagers must suffer while he prospers. No matter, hopefully he wouldn’t have the same long life his father had. Some intervention had to be made at some point. Whether divine or man made was still to be seen. One thing was certain though; beating the dog too much may cause them to attack the trainer. That was the case throughout history and it was likely to happen if the current ruler stayed on his current path.

Tomoe suddenly rode forward towards the dark castle ahead. War quickly followed behind her, sword in hand ready to take whatever life he needs too. Though he despised the king, his fellow horsemen were his comrades and like family to him. Though he would never admit it to Famine, he often looked up to the older knight.

You say you manipulate fire in it's 'rawest form' that being 'explosive power.' So uh... what do you manipulate? Is your ability related to explosions? Is it fire manipulation? Give me some more detail man.

I had originally clarified through an example but was asked to remove it.

Just clarifying in case some misunderstanding occurs after this, work kills me so can't get on as much as I would like. Fire has two different natures, thermal and combustible. Thermal is simply friction at a high speed in order to create heat which eventually creates fire. Combustible nature is exciting the atoms through friction at incredibly high speeds creating explosions through the release of thermal energy (i.e. an explosion always being accompanied by fire) I can add this into the description if it helps clarify things more, just need to know :) Thanks

Yeah, you need to incorporate that. And how it functions at range...
