Takamitzu D. Hanzo : The Santoryu Swordsman Rises
The Santoryu Swordsman Rises
Takamitzu Hanzo was born in Armageddon, and his parents were murdered at the age of three. Leaving him to be sold into servitude to an Arcane Sorcerer who manned a pirate crew named the 'Devil Pirates'; They were infamous for raiding the Divine Army's warships in the sea and the air, killing the crews onboard and stealing everything of value. The captain was an Arcane Sorcerer who called himself Fuchi(Abyss), and he made Hanzo toil away in servitude to the Arcane Sorcerers on his crew, who took every chance they got to abuse him and work him to the bone.
At the age of twenty,a miracle happened; The crew ran into a legendary Sorcerer, known only as the Arcane Swordsman; A man said to be so fierce with his blade that he could strike before a sorcerer could even cast a spell. Fuchi and his top men, six other Arcane Sorcerers and a Twilight Sorcerer, went to assault him all at once.
And were slaughtered.
The Arcane Swordsman decimated all eight of the powerful Arcane Pirates with ease, and Hanzo was watching from the railing of the ship. He approached the Arcane Swordsman not with fear, not with anger, but with hope. For himself to be free of his life. He told the legendary swordsman his story, and pleaded for the man to train him. He was turned down. Furious, Hanzo grabbed one of the swords from his dead captain and struck at the Arcane Swordman. Who cut him down with little effort. Hanzo survived, however, and stood again, willing to die if he must to be free of this life.
His will became his blade's, and he actually managed to fight the Arcane Swordsman for longer than the other sorcerer's had before taken down with a kick to the temple. The Swordsman took young Hanzo with him, willing to train him as he had shown more determination than any of his so-called 'masters'.
For five years, The Arcane Swordsman taught Hanzo the basics of swordsplay, and during this time Hanzo came to develop his own style: Santoryu-Three Sword Style. Using a blade in his mouth, saying it gave him more options. It also allowed him to channel a raw aura through kenjutsu alone, however it was nothing compared to his sensei. But at age twenty-five The Arcane Swordsman revealed to Hanzo that he was a 'Twilight Sorcerer', and that he could baptise Hanzo to the ways of the Arcane and Divine. But to control these two powers was insanely difficult. However, it was how the most powerful got to be so.
Do you side with God, the Devil, or both?
Hanzo chose none. He claimed right there that he did not believe in a God, and that only Fate knew what would happen to the world. His sensei smirked, telling his student that he felt the same. And that one did not need to believe to gain this power. Simply sell their soul in the afterlife for power and eternal youth here on earth. Which Hanzo agreed to all too willingly.
He underwent the trials of an Arcane Sorcerer,gaining the Arcane Technique of Fire Naturism; which allowed him to create and become flame, and his sensei told him a Technique was based on one's soul and individuality. That Hanzo had gotten lucky.
They trained for ten more years, as Hanzo helped his sensei in his mission to fight both the Arcane and Divine. Informing young Hanzo that The Divine intend to wipe out any with Arcane Mana, calling it 'purification'. However, The Arcane wanted to kill all of The Divine and plunge the world into even more darkness, so neither side was truly good for their world. He told Hanzo that people who share this idea that both The Divine and Arcane must perish were the one's who would seek to take the throne of this world and change it for the better.
At the age of forty, Hanzo was so skilled at his swordsmanship that he could put his sensei on the defensive, even killing a famous swordsman aiming to kill The Arcane Swordsman and taking his legendary sword: Oniken, the Demon Blade. Forging his own blades and following his sensei to The Ancient Ruins in the Southern Hemisphere, baptising Hanzo to become a Divine Sorcerer within the walls of an Ancient pyramid said to be built by a Divine Pharaoh. Fighting his student right there to see just what he had gained, now that he was a Sorcerer of the Twilight-Both Mana Reserves open for use. Hanzo surprised even his sensei with Divine Suspension, negating his techniques and cutting an arm off.
The swordsman laughed, despite his pain. Explaining that he had wanted to die for a long time, but only in a true fight. With neither holding back and his head meeting the blade's edge this time. Hanzo realized that his Master had gone all out, and he had beaten him. He took his head and his famous sword, known as 'Divinity', and headed out into the world to make a name for himself now.
Becoming a pirate, just like how he began. Only manning his own crew this time, naming them the 'Chaos Pirates' and himself a 'Chaos Sorcerer' ; preferring the name, and wanting to send a message that neither Divine nor Arcane mattered to him. Letting his crew decimate both factions both on the sea and in the air.
One day, they encountered another Twilight Sorcerer and his crew; who slaughtered most of Hanzo's crew and caused Hanzo to lash out. Killing all of his foes with his Divine Aura. And stopping to weep for his men, who he had spent years training and helping and teaching in order to one day take down The Divine and The Arcane together.
He stole his dead foe's ship, and fled to Paradise to build something new. Where he used both the alchemised metal from the Divine Army and the alchemised wood from his ships to create a massive vessel that he named the 'Oni no Mizu' - Demon of the Water. Also creating a flying vessel he named the M.A.C.R.O.S.(Malefic Airborne Chaotic Reckoning Operation System). Gaining a large reputation for decimating the Divine Army when they tried to push him from their shores. They were too late. With his preparations made, Hanzo killed a large unit and headed out to sea in search of a new crew, just as he heard that The Arcane Elders had been killed. The world was changing.
And he would take it by the reins.
