The Tale of the Six SamuraiZanji- Himora Zanji was raised among orphans, never knowing his true parents. He ran away from the orphanage at eight years old, and became a thief out of necessity.He always wondered what was truly good; As he lived in the Divine Territory of Paradise, yet was poor and starving and living on the streets. It was at the age if fifteen that he tried robbing someone who was apparently a Ronin, who struck the kid down and went on his way. It was then that Zanji realized that he needed a weapon. And training.He found a Dojo known for sheltering the homeless, and stayed there for a while. While he was there, he begged the sensei to teach him the way of the sword. Who reluctantly agreed, sensing great power in the boy but also a festering darkness. For ten years he trained, then heading out into the world to make a name for himself. Along the way, he attempted to stop a robbery; And it turned out the robber was none other than the Governor of the land. It wasn't a robbery. He was meaning to murder the man for reasons Zanji did not know. Zanji struck him down, and was chased by the law for killing a man though he had actually prevented a murder. For his life onward he was wanted by the man he struck down, who recovered and sent his men after Zanji like dogs . Over many battles, his blade's edge became chipped and serrated, yet never lost it's sharp edge. Many say his mana was too powerful to allow such minor flaws inhibit his swordsmanship.Along this path he encountered another rogue samurai, a former Shogun named Shien. He offered the man a different path to walk; a path of vengance, on those who had shunned him and made his life the living hell that it had become. Zanji carried great hatred for the world at this point, believing all authority to be evil, yet agreed after hearing the man's story. He was apparently a Shogun who's own 'loyal' men had tried cutting down, and Shien escaped with his life. He wanted revenge. Zanji could understand this, from his experiences with Authority and the corruption within. Though The Shogun admitted that he was no saint, he kept his people healthy and rich with everything they could need or desire; In exchange for their obedience to his cries of war and fortitude. Zanji was the First of the Six Samurai. He was often cold and calculating, yet very kind to women and children at all times. He was the 'bright light' of the future-band-of-ronin. After they attained their rule over Shien's former country, they made sure to take the former governor to their nation later on to have him tortured for seven years, until his death. Zanji was pleased. He became the main Bodyguard of Shien, vowing to help make this authority one of Justice. And he made sure of this, until the Death of the Six Samurai.Kamon- Euraya Kamon was born to a military family, and trained from a young age in weapons. He was skilled with guns, explosives, and mostly katana and swords. Though Explosives and guns were great for a quick kill, he soon learned to live for the thrill of the fight. Setting explosive traps and being an expert marksman, to the point of being able to shoot the arrowhead off of an archer's bow from a hundred yards away was only a means of crippling his foe, before finishing them close up. He found it the honorable thing to do, and all admired his courage for it.During a war with Arcane Militants from overseas, Kamon killed a Samurai and aquired his blade. it allowed him to manifest his mana into spiritual aura that took on the properties of fire. It greatly expanded his options for battle and made him a stronger warrior than ever. It was after which that he walked in on a secret conversation between a Divine Elder and what seemed to be an Arcane Sorcerer. They spoke of plans to destroy his nation for the good of keeping the peace between the two groups of Elders that ruled their respective parts of the world. He went to warn his people, but was too late- The city was burned to the ground, all of his family and friends buried in the rubble and ashes.But the murderers sent to do this were still there. And knew who Kamon was, the two Elders having spotted his intrusion and ordering him dead as well. Hamon fought against these three with all of his might, but was quickly beaten near death. As he lay there, battered and dying, he decided to go down with his all; Creating a blazing aura for nearly a mile around that began to burn the men alive. Though one rejected this attack, and went to finish the weakened Samurai as he waged his last stand. He was interrupted by a colossal suit of armor beheading him in mid-stride, as another landed and seemed to quash the flames with a single sweep of his blade. The two were named Shien and Zanji. They were betrayed by their people, like him, and were on their way to his nation until this. They had seen his power, and offered for him to join.Kamon was the second of the Six Samurai. Reckless and destructive, he contributed highly to the attacks on nations throughout their years of ruling 'Shien'. He remained loyal to his new Shogun, being the Head of Military Operations and Sabotage in their new nation until his death. With his help, they were able to spread their armies to several neighboring nations and force them into being part of the Shi En Empire, a collected group of nations who served their capital country of Shien.Irou- Kageshiro Irou was born blind. His entire life would be like this. He adopted to wear a visor over his eyes from a young age, to hide this. Due to his disability, many picked on him or didn't take him seriously; Though Irou's other senses could identify a person from their breathing and footsteps, others would not believe him. He wandered into a dojo one evening, following the loud sounds of the bamboo swords and strained breathing, not to mention the rapid movement. The sensei was a friend of his father's and agreed, secretly teaching him to use a sword effectively despite his blindness. Six years later, this led Irou to be able to join the dojo at fourteen years old, where he trained for another seven years. It was then that he murdered three men insulting him on the street. He had trained himself to cut down those who mocked him. It was time for Irou to get his.The sensei was very displeased. He went after Irou himself. When they confronted one another, his sensei unsheathed a great blade of power- One able to infect what it slashed at with various toxins or mana-based attacks. Irou nearly had his stomach poisoned from a stab wound, but had used this time to weave and stick his blade through his sensei's jaw and out of his scalp. The deed was done. Of course Irou ran after,taking the famed blade and becoming feared as a famous Ronin for his cold demeanor and heartless murder of any he felt to kill.Years later, he met three Ronin who had been searching for him. They told him their tales, their names being Shien, Zanji and Hamon. They planned to create a country where all were treated fairly, and added that one with a reputation such as his would be a sublime partner for this mission. They planned to keep the rule amongst themselves, and do what they see as Justice. Irou became the third of the Six Samurai. He was the dark one of the group, always the first to volunteer for assassination or murder attempts. He became the Head of International Affairs, for none dared to cross him. And anything written was seen to Irou through mana scanning; By placing his hand on the object an seeing it in his mind. One could not lie to him, for their body language subtly gave them away. He stayed loyal to his Shogun until his death, responsible for an estimated 24,000 murders in his lifetime-These only being the people of importance.Enishi- Kagetora Enishi was a normal man, once sixteen opting to become a monk. He loved their philosophy of peace and tranquility. After twenty years, he thirsted for something new in life. He began to take up the sword, and this was when he discovered that the temple was meant to protect an ancient, Dark Blade of power from falling into the wrong hands. Enishi persuaded them to show him,, killing the monks near him and claiming the sword. This was when the Dark Spirit within bonded itself to Enishi's soul, and together they brutally murdered the monks who had lived here for the sole purpose of containing the sword; Which had been done for three hundred years.Enishi then wandered off, with nowhere to go in the world. The Temple had been his life. But there was no turning back. He was hunted by authorities, and was often consumed by the power of sword at first; Unable to stop himself from murdering them. He grew to control his power, committing himself to the monk's mission of not letting another touch the tainted blade. Many hunted him for it, and all were struck down. This led to great infamy among Ronin and Samurai, and Enishi was approached one day by four Ronin.They were not here for the sword. They were here for Enishi. Each told about a plan to forge their own Empire, and Enishi saw both strength and the resolve to do the right thing. And a place where he could forever guard his blade. Enishi became the Fourth of the Six Samurai.He was known as Shien's Chancellor-Being the one who attended to all matters in his Shogun's stead. He retired before he died, knowing he had little time left at eighty years old.Kizan- Rokumaru Kizan was the son of the King of Rokuza, the nation his ancestors had forged hundred of years ago. Because of this, he was a prince and next to be king after his father. But he did not want to walk the path of royalty. From a young age he was fascinated by swords, and ordered the warriors to train him and help him learn how to fight as well. Being the King's son, they could not refuse And his father approved, at first. Until Kizan would slack off of his princely duties to train. One time, at a Ceremony for their deceased Queen, Kizan got into a fight with the man accused of the murder and killed him. He was banished from the kingdom for this, to his Father's dismay.He sought revenge on his own people now, for shunning him. How was he supposed to react to his mother's death? Though he never lost the charming aspect of himself that came with being a prince, he began to slaughter and gather warriors to destroy his old kingdom. Until he was stopped by five men, who claimed that they were going to forge an empire, and had learned of his exploits. Kizan had stolen a great blade from his father, one that brought one's power to it's pique. This allowed him to survive many near-death encounters over the years,and the blade was a weapon of legend. One of these five Ronin slaughtered his men, while another took Kizan on with explosives and fire. Kizan drew his blade and quickly began to counter, before being stopped by the others. The offered to help him on his mission , if he was with them. He reluctantly joined. Kizan was the fifth of the Six Samurai. With his intellect and knowledge of running a Kingdom, he was named the Prince of the nation. A title he gladly accepted. His duties were those domestic and foreign, and he was often sent to lead the armies meant to force a nation to surrender. It was after they formed 'Shien' that they attacked and conquered the Rokumaru Kingdom.Nisashi- Yokomura Nisashi was the hero of his village. That is, until a group of Arcane Sorcerers came and destroyed his hometown. He was helpless to stop them, despite his powers of both Arcane and Divine Mana. He hadn't enough experience. Yet, of all of his family and neighbors, only he lived. He sought out to avenge his people, and to find the ones responsible. This led him to a group of Ronin planning to forge an Empire. This was years after his home was gone, and after he found and killed one of the men responsible. He had grown much in these last seven years. And he offered his services to these Ronin, in exchange for a place of power. They had heard of the man, and accepted him. Nisashi was the Sixth of the Six Samurai.Once they forged their Nation, Nisashi brought small parts of the army they had to find and kill the ones who had killed his people. Once they killed the Sorcerers responsible, Nisashi fought as a loyal warrior and bodyguard of Shien until his death.Shien- Akumatetsu Shien was the Shogun of his nation of 'Power'. He was kind to his people, yet harsh to his enemies and was always quick to send out his armies. his led to the nation's distrust of him. His own men tried to kill him, and he fought he way out of the country to save himself. Since, he had trained him self and sought out other Ronin to help him take his Nation back- After destroying and recreating it to truly fit a country of power.He recruited Six Samurai, and led them down the Path of the Ronin. Together, these seven destroyed Shien's home nation and rebuilt it from the ground up. Shien lived as Shogun since then on, his actions and views shared by all he allowed in. Together, The 'Legendary Six Samurai of Shi En' created a military power that was feared even to this day- Until 'Shien' was once again destroyed by them, in the form of their Epitome; Akari Hatori.

The Twelve Blades of the Epitome---The Seven Blades of Bushido:These Seven swords each contain a special power; Literally housing the spirits of the Legendary Six Samurai and their Shogun, Shien(And also, the name of the Country they were said to have conquered.). Each Sword was named after one of the Seven Virtues of the Bushido Code, although the power didn't necessarily relate to the name of the blade. The Myth said that once the Samurai had taken over the kingdom, and made it their own, at the end of their lives they ended themselves using Seppuku with their legendary swords, passing their spirits into the blade and retaining their great powers, storing themselves in their weapons for all eternity. Since Hatori had gained them, the spirits speak to him and aid him in numerous ways. Though often people can mistake Hatori for a schizophrenic now; For he speaks aloud to the spirits, who are simply voices from the swords speaking through his mind and soul. Each blade , no matter what sheath it resides it, forges a seal upon the blade through which their own hands of mana, appearing as armor-clad arms of their past forms, can draw and use their blades to their own and Hatori's will. This seemed to be an ability they gained through their bond to Hatori; As he used Hands of Mana to use multiple blades at once. In three years, they have gotten used to the offshoot of Hatori's 'Manafestation' Power.--Rectitude : Also known as Righteousness. This blade was twenty inches long, made of silver metal(So it seemed) with a pure white hilt that contained gold diamonds. The blade was made of silver and steel, the edge slightly chipped and serrated. It's power seemed to stem from Divine Mana(Which was white or blue in color), giving it the primary ability to counter Dark Energies with ease. It's actual power, however, was to use the powers of both Yin and Yang. By bending both energies, the sword had the ability to both cut things that could not normally be cut(For example, a fire, an energy blast, or even the air itself)and surround the area for up to seven feet around it in order to do so. Anything that entered this area was able to be 'scanned' of spiritual and molecular makeup, and the sword then used the powers of both yin and yang to seemingly 'negate' any 'phenomena' within it's range. Due to the massive strength of such a power, it devours a third of Hatori's full reserve of mana, or a fifth of the Samurai(Zanji)'s spirit that resided within the blade itself. The power could be accessed using Zanji's spiritual mana, but the user must still flow their own mana through the weapon, be accepted by the spirit, and then be given control of said ability. This sword was also able to physical manifest swords and blasts of pure light, a solid material made up of Holy Mana. This took less energy.Attacks:-'Rectify'- This is what Hatori has named the technique to both scan and negate phenomena around his blade, and it is not necessary to speak the attack name to perform the attack. However, Hatori does tend to say it if given the chance. After the initial scanning and negation, The aura around the blade dulls, the power of the blade becoming inactive for five seconds before repeated use.--Courage : Also known as Bravery. This blade was only eighteen inches long, made of red, gleaming steel, with a red hilt containing black diamonds running down the sides. This blade's power, like Rectitude's, stems from Holy Mana. However, the blazing blue aura that engulfed the blade with a touch of mana was capable of spreading the flaming energy to what it slashed, the flames then devouring the target and spreading (Even on things that were not flammable) until they were burnt to nothing by a blue, spiritual acid of sorts. This aura took little of Hatori's mana, as long 'Kamon'(The Spirit in the Sword) contributed his mana to the process as well. However, the flame was easily counted by other spiritual techniques, and wind could spread or extinguish the flame like any other fire;Unless the user performed the 'Burning Justice' Attack. The user could also generate waves and fireballs of varying sizes of either the blue fire or normal flames.Attacks:- 'Courage Flame': This move does not need to be named aloud to be used. With this move, Hatori arms his blade with the blue, fiery aura and slashes at his opponent or target. He can also choose to send a 'shockwave' of the flames at his opponent, though it's easier to dodge and counter. The flames in shockwave form or around the blade add the capacity to cut through steel and harder objects, able to set ablze to what it slices, be it spiritual or material. He can also create small waves of fire, blue or normal.- 'Burning Justice' : The name does not need to be said to activate this technique. Hatori and Kamon merge their souls as one Temporarily, blazing with a whitish-blue aura around himself and his blades that was capable of now burning things on a spiritual level as well. The attacks created were much larger and more powerful than with 'Courage Flame' , but once the technique is ended ; 'Courage' s power becomes inactive for however long it takes for Kamon to charge his mana back up(Which would take longer than a battle to achieve.). Being as this technique relies primarily on the mana of the sword and spirit inside of it, the form takes little of Hatori's own mana to access.--Benevolence: Also known as 'Charity'. This blade had a black hilt containing golden diamond patterns down the sides, with an obsidian blade : Twenty-One inches in length. It ran off of Arcane Mana, which was normally red or black in color and based off of Dark Energies; Able to be easily countered by holy energies unless 'Karma' was used. The Spirit dwelling within this blade was named 'Irou', and was a massive reserve of mana living inside of the sword. The power for the blade was to inflict damage to the opponent in the form of 'Charity'; Giving the victim a special 'present' with each successful strike. These techniques ranged in mana, but took small chunks of Hatori's own mana to activate. The blade could also manifest tangible shadows to fight with or distract one's foe.Attacks:- 'Dark Charity': The name did not need to be spoken in order to use the technique. With this move, Hatori accesses Irou's mana, and surrounds the blade with black mana that causes side effects to what it cuts. The effects can range from lethal poisoning, to explosive energy being embedded in the blade to blow the target up upon successful slashing, to even tangible shadows that rip the target apart from the inside. The slashes 'infect' the target with Arcane Mana, tainted to take on special properties.- 'Karma' : This technique can only be used if the user has sustained damage of some kind already. And Hatori must utter the technique name in order to use it. As Hatori is struck ,at any time, if he manages to contact the other with a hand and place a 'seal' upon them; He can then raise the blade and utter the word to make the victim experience all of the pain Hatori has gone through in the last hour. Including but not limited to :Fatigue, Pain, Wounds, and even mental strain. After this technique is used, the sword becomes inactive until Irou restores his mana to a usable level(Which takes longer than a battle to happen).-- Respect: This blade had a silver hilt, lined with a red diamond pattern down the sides. The blade was twenty inches long, made of silver steel and carrying the properties of a Diamond in terms of hardness. The Spirit inside was named 'Enishi', and was a force of both Divine and Arcane Mana. One use of this was to use Divine Mana to create the elements of fire and lightning, and/or Arcane Mana to create the elements of earth and wind. A sword of the elements. By combining the two mana sources together, Hatori can create something called a 'Shattering Force'. It allows one to shatter energies of holy and demonic descent, in addition to the normal aura of humans, by using overflowing reserves of opposite-powered mana to create a devastating, clashing force of energy that breaks through most everything in it's path. These techniques vary in mana usage, but Enishi's sword had powers before the Samurai gained it himself through battle-Hence the colliding energies inside of the sword. Hatori himself still knows not which mana comes from Enishi.Attacks:- 'True Respect: Fire/Lightning' : The Name of the move need not be uttered in order to activate the powers of the technique. Using Divine Mana and his own mana output, Hatori can generate flames, electricty, and strikes of lighting with his blade. The attack power depends on mana usage , tactical use, range, and intent.With this technique, the white mana around the sword can cut through said elements as easily as it can conjure and manipulate them.- 'Dark Respect: Wind/Earth : The Name of the move need not be uttered in order to activate the powers of the technique. Using Arcane Mana and his own mana output, Hatori can generate gusts of wind, wind shockwaves, whirlwinds, earthquakes,and even send waves of earth at his target, among other things. The attack power depends on mana usage , tactical use, range, and intent.With this technique, the white mana around the sword can cut through said elements as easily as it can conjure and manipulate them.- 'Complete Respect: Shattering Blade' : The name need not be uttered to perform the technique. For five minutes, the mana of the blade will swell with both Arcane and Divine energies and create the Shattering effect listed above in the Sword Description. Pumping the mana flow to expand the effect shaves time off of the power's limit, and when the technique is finished Enishi returns from Hatori's soul to reside in the sword again, with whatever mana he and the blade have left. By stopping the technique before the time limit, not all of the mana is used. Unless It is activated a second time; After this, all mana in Enishi and the blade will dwindle to inactive levels; Despite the time spent using the power.-- Honesty: Also known as 'Truth'. The sword has a golden hilt, with blue diamond patterns running down the sides. The blade itself was twenty-four inches long, made of thin golden steel . The spirit that lived within was named 'Kizan'. The power he held within was Divine Mana, and had two uses; One, to completely break away at dark energies and shatter them(Similar to the Shattering effect of Complete Respect, above). The other, was to unleash the full power of all Seven Blades of the Bushido. It tapped the full power of the seven blades, and allowed Hatori to use all of them at once; Meaning that Honesty was the Key to Hatori's strongest technique.Attacks:- 'Purging Blade of Honesty' : The name need not be said to use the technique. By mixing Hatori's Mana with Kizan's, the blade was able to produce the shattering effect on dark energies as explained above. The technique takes about a twelfth of Kizan's full mana output, meaning that it was a technique that could be used somewhat often in battle.- 'True and Complete Honesty: The Gateway of the Seven': The name doesn't need to be uttered for Hatori to use the technique. Once activating this, Kizan links the Spirits of the Seven Samurai directly to Hatori. Allowing for a full and complete possesion form of all eight souls fused together. Due to the sheer power of this technique, and the volatile mix of so many mana reserves, the power only lasts for up to two minutes maximum. for each minute, half of a normal user's mana is drained-Making it a technique best meant to end things swiftly. Hatori has access to all sword powers in this form, and all forms rise to higher levels of power.--Honor: The blade's hilt was black, with white diamond designs running down the sides. The twenty inch blade itself was a reverse blade; Both sides having a cutting edge. The back edge was black steel, while the front of the blade was pure white. A white circle was designed on both sides:At the top of the black side - While a black circle was designed near the hilt on the white sides:The blade Representing Yin and Yang. The spirit inside was named 'Nisashi', and he and the blade shared the mana of Divine and Arcane Energies; Making for another sword varying in power.With this blade, each edge had three effects: The White, front edge, could both manipulate Divine Mana to crush through other holy energies, or to create create blasts and slashes of white energy that completely 'erased' what it hit on a molecular level. The black edge could use Arcane Mana to break through dark energies, as well as create tangible darkness to engulf, assault or distract an opponent. The shadows were harder than steel, able to harden with mana output increasing, allowing for a long-range style that could easily catch the foe off guard. Both edges were capable of slashing through the elements themselves with their auras. The Black Edge can create and manipulate the element of wind, the white edge water When Nisashi mixes both auras, the blade splits into two separate blades that access their full power for a short time. These techniques take a minimum of Hatori's mana, unless the full power is accessed.Attacks:- 'Slash of Honor: Yang Strike': By using Divine Mana, the white, front edge glows with blue mana that can both cut through holy energies and the elements,and create and manipulate water, as stated above. The name does not need to said to use the technique.- 'Slash of Dishonor: Yin Strike': By using Arcane Mana, the black, back edge glows with red mana that can both cut through dark energies and the elements, and create and manipulate wind, as stated above. The name does not need to said to use the technique.- 'True Honor: Power of Yang': By using Divine Mana, the front edge now glows a blinding white with mana, able to now slash with the blasts of light that enveloped and 'incinerated' what it hit ;Sharing the properties of 'Slash of Honor'. This technique took more mana, however. The name did not need to be said to use the technique.- 'True Dishonor: Power of Yin' : By using Arcane Mana, the back edge now glows a dark black with mana, able to now slash with the tangible shadows that could attack and decimate a target from afar ;Sharing the properties of 'Slash of Dishonor'. This technique took more mana, however. The name did not need to be said to use the technique.- 'Yin Yang Separation: Twin Blades of Honor and Dishonor' : By separating the blades (as stated above) , Hatori was able to use them as two separate blades, Nisashi merging with him and increasing the power of the blades to higher levels. The power could last a while, but once used for a minute-Half of Nisashi's mana will be gone if used often;At least.-- Loyalty: This blade had a red hilt , with gold diamond designs stained with what looked like blood running up the sides. The twenty-six inch blade itself was made of steel that seemed to be piled atop another to make a serrated edge, almost looking like the blade can collapse down into a smaller version. Not only could the blade extend itself to strike it's targets from afar, but it used both Divine and Arcane Energies to Break through Elements and Holy/Dark Energies with 'Sakurestu Armor: Embodiment of Shien'. The other power of 'Loyalty', was to strike not just the physical body but the spirit as well; Leaving more lethal and permanent wounds. It could also create somewhat of a bio-magnetic field of mana around itself, able to use multiple swords at once and reject outside forces (Similar to a magnetic repulsion effect). The Spirit inside was named Shien, and was the great Shogun of the Six Samurai who led them to victory in the fabled battle of the past. He had a massive mana reserve.Attacks:- 'True Loyalty: Sakuretsu Blade Whip ' : By using both Arcane and Divine Mana, Hatori can extend the blade and cut through elements/holy or dark energies, as stated above. He need not say the name to use the technique.- 'Complete and Undying Loyalty: Sakuretsu Armor - Embodiment of Shien':Hatori states the word 'Sakuretsu'; The blade becoming diamond-hard armor around his body that allowed him the use of swords without hands, as well as most of the strongest abilities of the Six Samurai. This form is also Accessed through 'Gateway of the Seven', though that form is more powerful and drains mana faster. This form can last three minutes, with some-what often usage. After which, the blade loses the ability to attain 'Sakuretsu Armor' Until Shien's mana recovers or is accessed again(If possible).Spirits of the Six Samurai:These Seven Blades each housed a spirit of a Samurai, and their mana reserves varied. Hatori was said to be 'The Chosen One' , by them. And given the title of 'Epitome of the Six Samurai' . They dedicated themselves to Hatori, in exchange for his promise as a swordsman to conquer other countries and forge an empire with their power; Like they had done, only grander. This is what set Hatori on his journey across the world after slaying his Lord and robbing him of these seven blades.Contract of the Six Samurai:Hatori has made a pact with the seven of his swords-his lords- to enable to to store them in a pocket dimension for protection and able to summon them into his hand simply by flowing mana through his palm to make the symbol of the Six Samurai appear. ---The Five Blades of Influence :These Five Blades were blades with special properties or powers, accessed through mana manipulation. Hatori has both Divine and Arcane Mana,being a Disciple of the Yin Yang Path of the Samurai, and therefore can tap both mana sources to use the powers of the varied blades; Which took either Divine or Arcane Mana, depending on the blade used. Hatori gained them from killing other Samurai and Ronin along his travels.--Wisdom: This blade had a completely white hilt, with a silver, twenty-two inch long blade. This weapon carried no spirit, but had the distinct ability to 'reflect' energies it slashed at. Any energy it struck, instead of cutting it or being engulfed, instead reflected the energy back with what seemed like an invisible forcefield around it. In addition to this, the blade could also slash through near anything with enough use of Divine Mana running through the blade.Attacks:- ' Slash of Wisdom' : The blade glowing with blue mana, Hatori used it to repel and 'bounce' attacks back at his target, as stated above. The name was not needed to be spoken to use the technique.- 'True Wisdom: Slash of the Master': The name did not need to be spoken in order for Hatori to use the technique. Glowing with white mana, the blade was able to cut through most all substances, if enough mana was used. If more than twenty percent of Hatori's mana is used for this, the blade's power must remain inactive for five seconds before it can be used again.Method of Attainment:Hatori gained this sword early on in his career as a samurai, slaying the previous owner with no special swords and claiming it as his own; It was the blade he used to fight Kurami with.-- Distortion: This blade had an all-black hilt, and the blade itself was twenty inches long and made of a wavy, yet sharp black edge on a silver blade. This blade had a unique power; To cut through space and time to open' rifts', or portals to other dimensions and worlds, using Arcane Mana. By cutting an object or person, the rift will suck them into the dimension and close quickly, possibly stranding the target forever in a foreign universe.Attacks:- 'Distortion Slash': By using black and red mana that flowed throughout the blade, Hatori was able to cut rifts as described above; The location random unless he focuses on a place he knows of or has been to. Besides combat, it makes a great tool for easy travel.Method of Attainment:Hatori gained this blade by killing the owner in a Battle of Honor, on his quest to complete the mission of the Six Samurai. The owner had refused to join him, and was killed instead.-- Pride: This blade's hilt was bronze, with dark red diamond patterns running down the sides. The blade was twenty-three inches long, made of platinum and given a thin mold. The large hilt held a spiked chain of the same material as the blade, the chains themselves having cutting edges instead of rounded sides and able to shoot the blade out for long range strikes, and to graze or wrap the foe in the twelve foot long , three inch thick chain. The Primary ability of this sword was to use Arcane Mana in order to - once wrapping the chain around the target- force their inner energy, spiritual and physical, to slowly but steadily leak out harmlessly into the world around said victim. A wound inflicted by this attack could also allow not only for blood or other bodily fluids to be leaked, but also their spiritual energy and stamina. The wounds could even be suffered by those who can change their bodies to intangible forms by attacking the energy itself, in order to crush and 'harm it' with this technique.Attacks:- 'Chain of Pride': By enveloping the blade in red mana, Hatori could use the blade as explained above. It takes minimal mana usage.Method of Attainment:Hatori gained this from another Samurai who refused to join him. He was almost defeated, until he used Loyalty and quickly overcame his foe. It seemed to now be one of his most favored blades.-- Wrath: The hilt was yellow with red diamond patterns running down on either side, and the blade was nineteen inches long: Made of Saphire-colored steel. The power of this blade was to channel Arcane Mana through it in order to create a near-unbreakable aura of blade or red energy. Besides this, the blade could also deliver slashes of not only massive strength, but the aura will explode on impact and badly burn/ incinerate upon causing the wound, likely leaving a body that resembled a grenade victim. The technique took a decent amount of Hatori's mana output.Attacks:- 'Blazing Blade of Fury' : Covering the blade in red or black mana(Black being more potent) , Hatori could create the 'unbreakable' aura and generate the explosive effect when he slashes with this mana armor around his sword.(Stated above).-- Care: This blade had a pink hilt, with what seemed to be rubies in the diamond patter running down each side of the handle. The blade was only sixteen inches long, the shortest of all of Hatori's blades, made of hardened , crimson Ruby for the entirety of the blade itself. By running Divine Mana through this special blade, Hatori could both heal wounds inflicted(Be they physical or spiritual). A Healing Blade. However, the power of Healing can also be used in an offensive manner. By applying the spiritual healing effect of ' Caring Intent ' , Hatori could not only heal what he touched with the blade, but also purge spiritual energies and force them to break apart, the curing effect of Care stopping harmful forces that would normally be inflicting wounds that Care can heal. Healing Power depends on mana output. In addition to this, the sword can also produce and manipulate the element of water.Attacks:- 'Caring Intent' - With this technique(the name did not need to be spoken aloud), Hatori made the sword glow with white mana that could create the 'Curing' effect(Described above).He could both heal what the mana swathed over and reject spiritual energies if he chose to. Takes a decent amount of Mana output. Blue mana created and bended water.Method of Attainment:Hatori gained both Wrath and Care from a famous Ronin, Kazama Hikaru, who used both in an insane style meant to keep the opponent on the defense and then crush through it. Hatori gained the upper-hand quickly once using Honor against his foe. Once slaying him in battle, He took the swords and continued onward.

 Path of the Ronin   Hatori was born to a family still closely tied to the Way of the Samurai, otherwise known as Bushido. He was raised learning the way of the sword, as well as Mana Manipulation-The ability to use one's spiritual energy to physically manifest attacks and defenses alike. Since he was three years old, he began training, leaning that he had a knack for swordsmanship.He spent years training, often helping out the Local Law Enforcement stop thugs and criminals around their city to hone his skills. He even bested one of the Daimyo's head samurai at sixteen years old, the man having underestimated Hatori's skill with the sword.It was at the age of seventeen that he became a full-fledged Samurai of his own, and headed out into the world in his Lord's name.   Hatori had trained in the Yin Yang Style; A Style that allowed the Samurai to access reserves of both Divine and Arcane Mana- By tapping the power of one's soul and physically manifesting their aura ;While pledging loyalty to neither the forces of good nor evil. These Samurai were known as the fiercest by far; For the use of both types of Mana led to a much larger and varied style; Easy to adapt to new situations and powers. His father taught him: A great Samurai by the name of Akari Jin. He , too, could use the Yin Yang Style, and taught his son never to let one or the other overwhelm him; As the side effects could cause loss of one's self and mind to the forces of Divine or Arcane Energies. Hatori had created a technique all of his own through mana manipulation: The ability to manifest Hands of solidified mana. With these, Hatori could sprout extended limbs of varying strength to use more than just two swords, and also grab, punch , or ensnare an opponent if need be. It seemed that using the Yin Yang style made the hands easier to manifest, as Hatori's aura was easier to access with his mana flowing through his blades.   A year into his journey, Hatori and the small team of Samurai he was with were hired to kill a threat to the country. The Ronin was an old man, yet he bested many of their group with ease. Hatori, watching, was able to see that every time he used his blade, it took a moment for him to recover. Taking this oppotunity, the young Samurai pierced his foe's heart. But the old man didn't die just yet. He told them all why he was being hunted. Because he wanted to kill the Daimyo, for letting his kingdom(That had been property of the mother country, 'Shien') be destroyed while no support came. Hatori and his team were skeptical, and only Hatori researched the story after this incident. And it turned out, that the man he killed was telling the truth.   His Lord, The Daimyo of their Country of 'Shien', was a wicked, corrupt man indeed. It sickened Hatori to work for the man. And this led to his planning of the assassination of his Lord Kurami. Three years after he had become a Samurai. As he was sent in to discuss his next assignment, he slaughtered the guards and went to slay the Daimyo. What he did not know was the reason why Kurami was the Lord. It was because the man owned the Legendary Blades of the Six Samurai, ancient relics of a group of Six Samurai and their Shogun who conquered a country by themselves hundreds of years ago. The blades were imbued with special properties and powers, and Kurami quickly overwhelmed Hatori with these swords and led young Hatori to the brink of death.   This was when Hatori lost himself. He knew he would die unless he tried harder than he ever had done before. Standing, bloody and battered, he waged a final stand against his foe. Knocking a blade from the Lord's hands and using it himself, Hatori was able to now fend for himself against these attacks. And with the Daimyo's old age and poor condition, there was no way he would last against an equal opponent. Hatori decimated his Lord after this, claiming the six blades as his own and awaking the spirits within. Their Names were Zanji, Kamon, Irou, Enishi, Kizan, Nisashi and Shien. The manifested in an illusion around him, telling him of their story and informing him that they respected his power. That was why 'Hamon', the sword of Courage, allowed him to tap it's power in the battle. He responded by saying that he wished to now recreate a modern 'Six Samurai', -Wanting to find Six Powerful Swordsmen to aid his mission in doing as they had done; Destroying countries and rebuilding an empire from the rubble. Though these Samurai were content conquering Shien, the city now named after the Shogun, they were now disgusted by the Daimyo's actions as Hatori was, and pledged their loyalty to him if he destroyed the Capital with their powers. He agreed, doing so within an hour and fleeing the country after killing all around him, leaving few alive. His own mother died in the attacks, in his father's arms He was hunted since, and while this went on Hatori traveled for three years, slaying countless swordsmen and recruiting the best he found in an attempt to revive the myth of the Six Samurai.   Along his travels, he slayed countless Ronin and Samurai, facing all swordsmen he saw to test their true strength. Few were able to survive these battles.He took their blades-At least, took the ones of Power. At one point he was confronted by the Military of Shien; Those surviving. Including his own father. He then fought against the two dozen samurai, slaughtering them all after a lengthy battle and dragging himself to shelter. Taken in by a young woman named 'Hiori'. She nursed his wounds and sheltered him until he recovered, until one night. Assassins came for Hatori. though the Samurai defeated them all, Hiroi had been killed by one of them in the crossfire. And Kizan of the Six Samurai confirmed that he had caused it-Flooding the scene through Hatori's mind via the 'eyes' of his blade. Hetori ventured onward, more determined than ever to fufill his mission and avenge both the woman he had killed by accident and his own Pride as a Samurai.   He eventually took five blades of power from other Samurai deemed too weak to join him, naming them the 'Five Blades of Influence'. His Twelve blades were named 'The Twelve Swords of the Samurai'; another name he had coined for himself and that spread throughout the land as his exploits reached dangerous and scary levels. He had begun destroying a few Countries alone, and recruited a few Samurai to help him along his mission. He is still in the process of finding more Samurai and searching for more Swords of Power and Samurai to fulfill his dream.

Name: Hatori Akari (Akari, Hatori)Age: 23Birthday: December 17thHeight: 6'3"Weight: 200lbOccupation: SamuraiAnimal Representation: HydraTitle: 'Epitome of the Six Samurai'           Roku Take no shukuzuPersonality: Hatori was originally a playful, friendly individual. Since setting out on his mission, however, his persona has changed drastically; He is very quiet and tends to avoid others,his only interests being: Swords, Power, and Battle. Despite his cold attitude towards strangers, if seeing a person in need he will quickly rush in to aid them. He is often labeled as a schizophrenic, for the voices of the swords talk to him and he speaks to them aloud, though it appears as though he's speaking to himself. He will often leave those he defeats alive, unless they refuse to surrender or it was a fight to the death. He seems to have developed this compassion since slaying his father and the events leading up to it. Because of how he attained his swords, he is very skeptical of others and wary of betrayal and lies. He tends to become much more lively in battle, seeming to truly let out his inner self with the temptation of a fight.Appearance: Hatori stood at six feet three inches tall,weighting 200 pounds, garbed in a tight ,zippered and sleeved high-neck black vest . The Zipper-head resembled a cross, the entire vest made of a material that took on the properties of steel, named 'Steel Cloth'. Over each shoulder were shoulderpads of black steel and a black cape(a foot long, made of steel cloth) draped over his shoulders, a belt connecting his Kusazuri(The armor Samurai wear around their thighs) by an X shaped belt buckle at his waist. Under this he wore black pants fitted into black boots, and over his wrists were black, metal cuffs weighing twenty pounds each. Thirteen swords rested on his back and waists, all in black sheathes; Though seven of them had a white seal of sorts in the middle. From the bottom-left, clockwise, the hilts were: Black with a silver sliver in the middle(At his right waist), white with a golden diamond pattern down the sides,red with a black diamond pattern(both of which were strapped together at his lower back),black with a gold diamond design ,silver with red diamonds ,and gold with blue diamonds(All running up his right side, yellow with red diamonds and pink with ruby diamonds(Both behind his head), black with silver diamonds and red with gold diamonds (Sticking over his left shoulder), bronze with red diamonds running down the sides(at his left waist), white,and black(both lower on his side than the bronze hilted-blade). From right to left,sheathes Two through Six and Nine through Ten all had the white seal of the Six Samurai. Altogether he carried over two hundred pounds on himself, and yet was able to move freely despite the massive burden. His skin was somewhat pale- his face taut and young, with glowing purple optics and spiky blonde hair all over his head.Physical Ability: Hatori had superhuman strength, stamina and speed already; Being trained roughly and becoming tolerant to pain and testing himself with weights constantly. He always carries more than his body weight on himself; Were he to drop these weights holding him back, his movement would become so fast that he literally creates after-images of himself though not moving at light-speed. He can move faster than lightning with these weights on(by pouring mana through his limbs and temporarily 'doping' himself), and without them can reach a speed near that of light. Through mana manipulation, he can raise his speed and strength even more. He is also a master of the Martial Arts, namely the 'Yin Yang Fist' Style; One that both incorporates a flowing barrage of limb-based attacks and as gentle defenses meant to let the opponent do most of the work and using their weight and momentum to follow up with another barrage of well-timed blows at anywhere from normal to nearly unseeable speeds.Mana Usage and Techniques:Hatori had trained in the Yin Yang Style; A Style that allowed the Samurai to access reserves of both Divine and Arcane Mana- By tapping the power of one's soul and physically manifesting their aura ;While pledging loyalty to neither the forces of good nor evil. These Samurai were known as the fiercest by far; For the use of both types of Mana led to a much larger and varied style; Easy to adapt to new situations and powers. His father taught him: A great Samurai by the name of Akari Jin. He , too, could use the Yin Yang Style, and taught his son never to let one or the other overwhelm him; As the side effects could cause loss of one's self and mind to the forces of Divine or Arcane Energies. Hatori had created a technique all of his own through mana manipulation: The ability to manifest Hands of solidified mana. With these, Hatori could sprout extended limbs of varying strength to use more than just two swords, and also grab, punch , or ensnare an opponent if need be. It seemed that using the Yin Yang style made the hands easier to manifest, as Hatori's aura was easier to access with his mana flowing through his blades. He named this technique 'Manafestation'.Hatori can use both Divine and Arcane Mana, and with the spirits inside of his swords he can sense spiritual pressure around him, and the spirits are able to see what the human eye cannot. The Samurai's eyes always glowed purple, his sight shared with seven spirits residing in the blades on his back. He can use the effect of Divine Mana to break through Dark Energies to a point, and Arcane Mana to fight holy energies. By transcending and combining the two,Hatori can create massive amounts of multi-colored mana that can create more than just hands and arms;Namely blasts of mana that can push back forces and perhaps badly damage them, and even now manifest the spirits of the Six Samurai and Shien if need be. However, it took considerable mana usage for the latter. Also, by bursting mana from his limbs or flowing it through them Hatori can raise his reflexes, speed, stamina and strength to levels beyond human power-though the increase is subject to the mana used. He can also flow mana through his feet to walk on the solid energy and travel over the sky.Stats:Strength: 10/10Speed: 10/10Stamina: 9/10Agility: 10/10Power: 9/10Intelligence: 9/10Flexibility: 10/10Close Range: 10/10Mid Range: 9/10Long Range: 7/10Mana Type(Divine or Arcane): BothControl of Divine Mana: 9/10Divine Mana Reserve: 8/10Control of Arcane Mana: 9/10Arcane Mana Reserve: 9/10

M.A.C.R.O.S.Malefic Airborne Chaotic Reckoning Operation System   His main source of transportation when not using the Mizu no Oni, this vessel, the Captain of the Chaos Pirates can now travel through space with no problem. He built it out of alchemized steel and wood and installed a mana engine; Raidou's Divine Technique creating a stable energy source that could fuel itself, amazingly.Physical Description:The ship was gleaming black, the metal extremely durable, and made  the 300 yard-long ship tougher than most materials on earth. Infused in through the center of the vessel was the engine, below it a large, gleaming circular plate while expelled arc energy to propel the ship at Hanzo's will, due to recognizing to his DNA and voice commands. There is a large cannon which fires blasts of Raw Mana that hovers around the deck at all times, and also responds to Hanzo's command. The cannon was covered in small cameras, and once entering one of the hatches on either end of the ship through large metal plates opening at the Captain's command. Both hatches are airtight and there are oxygen tanks within the ship to provide fresh air through ventilation, and in addition there are computers meant mainly to see the condition of the ship and look through the cameras on the cannon.Powers and Capabilities of the M.A.R.C.R.O.S The ship only has one main weapon ,that being a hovering cannon that can patrol the perimeter of the vessel.. The Cannon shoots out a beam of raw mana able to incinerate most material.The Cannon can also act independently if needed.  It also has NO reload time so it can be fired continuously over and over again without having to let it rest.  It is launched at Hanzo's thought. All he has to do is give the position of what he wants to destroy and then the cannon will quickly move to that part of the M.A.R.C.R.O.S to fire. Because of the materials it is made of, additional cannons can sprout from the vessel. The hull of the ship is alchemized and  infused with Arcane Mana thanks to the Power Network. With this, the hull can deflect anything basic to advanced energy based attacks. The nanometals which allowed this vessel to change form also spread damage throughout the vessel to dampen impact, causing low-level assaults to be ineffective.The Mana Engine powers everything on the ship aside from the Cannon. This Power Network is made from the same energy that powers sorcery in general, and can recreate itself to keep a steady level of energy. .Due to this, the engine can go as fast or as slow as it wants with little energy loss. The bottom of the ship has a hole exposing the Mana Engine, which can suspend the vessel in air or space. This ship was in essence merely a gigantic Mana Engine,and was the key piece to forming his true flagship.This Mana engine was formed from special alloys, and within the spinning centrifuges was a massive ball of raw energy; Hanzo's, to be exact. His shipwright used the Captain's energy as a fuel source, giving him direct access to all of the ship's functions.To quote from a post:M.A.C.R.O.S.Malefic Airborne Chaotic Reckoning Operation SystemThis ship was only a quarter the size of the Mizu no Oni, made of the same black steel as it's big brother but shaped like a semi-circle with a flat platform at the top for the deck. The hull coated in the red wood,an opposite material scheme of the Mizu no Oni. At the bottom, a glowing red energy leaked out from a strange, centrifugal machine mounted into the vessel itself. It was an engine of mana, Raidou's creation, which gave the ship a fuel source and kept it levitating to degrees based upon the commands he and he captain spoke or thought.A cannon hovered around it's perimeter, black like the ship and radiating an energy similar to the engine. The entire ship was lined with cameras to feed into the cockpit and also gave the cannons a full range of where to shoot on command or when feeling a threat.

The Mizu no OniThe Outward Appearance:During Hanzo's travels, he went to Paradise and raided The Divine Army to take their technology, taking metals alchemised to be nearly unbreakable and fusing it with the wood from the two ships he sailed in. Thankfully, one member of his crew survived, and with his help they created the ultimate vessel.The ship was almost a mile tall, and a mile long, with a mast half of it's length towering high above, rooting from the upper deck.The hull was covered in black metal but for a giant hole in the back, and all of the wood was red;enchanted with Arcane Sorcery to bbecome more durable. The Jolly Roger was a skull with swords for crossbones, and 'Chaos' in red Kanji on the forehead.  On the front of the ship, the figurehead depicted a gaping, eyeless skull.Inside of the ship, one could fire cannonballs through it to surprise opponents by shooting forward in a ship battle. The ship was meant to travel via sails, and a hole was carved into the back to propel the ship through fire if necessary. The cannonhole in the back of the ship was able to, on it's own, shoot out a massive blast of air to propel them as well.The front deck led all the way to halfway down the ship, where on either end staircases led one to the upper deck, where the wheel and anchor were located. In between the staircases was a large door, carved out of the same red wood that made the ship itself. Twenty feet in front of it saw a golden throne, cushioned with velvet and having 'Chaos' sewn in black Kanji at eye level. This was the captain's seat.Inward appearance:Once entering the door from the deck of the ship, one is led down a long hallway, with ten doors on either side. Each of these rooms were 15x15 square feet , with a bed that seemed larger than a twin in the far left corner. Beside it was a nightstand and lamp, with a porthole 3 feet above to ventilate air. A dresser took the lower right corner, and at the end of the bed were two doors which led to a walk-in closet. On the right wall, besides the dresser, was a door which led to the bathroom: An 8x8 square foot , completely white-tiled room with a sink, mirror/medicine cabinet, and a large tub that could either be used to take a shower from the three nozzles on the ceiling or bathe similar to a hot tub. Each of these rooms also has a secret door beside the porthole, to go into a larger, empty space in which to store whatever they wish or to make a living space besides the small room one uses to enter. At the end of this hall stood two large red doors, looking like those to a throne room, with gold levers to access them . Before one reached them, however, they would notice that two more halls branched off to the left and right of the initial hallway. Each hall had five large black doors, in the same design as the red one and on the same side of the wall.Hanzo's room- Beyond the red doors was a 120 square foot room, the carpet's made of lush velvet. His bed, located at the center of the back wall was bigger than any named bed and looked like two Futons put together on a gold frame. It was covered in fluffy red carpeting, and had a red canopy over the top, right under which was a large porthole that ventilated air from the outside. On either side of the bed were large nightstands with lamps, before which stood small refrigerators. Opening one and taking the lone bottle of rum would activate a mechanism through the ship to shoot up another bottle, like a pez dispenser, to now cool. On the left wall led a large black door that led to the bathroom: A large, 20x20 foot room made completely of tile, with 5 drains on the floor and 15 nozzles on the ceiling. at the back were shelves with personal care products.On the right wall, in the right corner were two red doors leading to a walk-in closet, and in the center of the wall were two red doors resembling the ones used to enter the room. They were often padlocked. They led to a 90x90 square foot room, which led one down a trail with swords stuck into the wood on either side, each engraved with a kanji and unique in one way or another. It led to a large, blade claymore sticking out of the ground, the gold guard's length making the sword resemble a christian cross. On the ground in front of it was a large slab of stone and a hammer, and to the left was a semi-cylinder filled with water. It was the room Hanzo used to store or forge swords, and had shown it to nobody to date.The Left Hallway:In the hallway that branched off to the left,two doors had red kanji directly around the handles. On the door next to Hanzo was 'War' , and on the door next to it 'Chaos'. The third black door led to a 500 square foot galley. A counter lined the left wall, on top of it all kinds of appliances including sinks, ovens and stoves. On the back wall were 20 refrigerators, filled with food and drink. On the right wall stood 20 cabinets, all filled with spices or dry food. In the center of the tiled room was a large grill, that seemed to have so way to start up.The fourth black door led to a huge, 500 square foot room, lined with every weapon one could think of. Pistols, cannons, swords, among other things, and what stuck out were several odd objects scattered around. There seemed to be so many weapons that one only had a 100 foot path in the center to get to the piles of weapons on either side.The final door led to a large, empty room the same size as the Weapons Room to it's right. However, it was completely empty. It was a room used for sparring indoors, or simply training by oneself. The walls were thick, and strong, stopping all but extraordinary feats from harming it.The Right Hallway:   These first two doors had 'Death' and 'Conquest' on them ,respectively.    The third door led to a 500 square foot room, with an indoor pool covering most of the space. The ceiling even opened up at the press of one of several buttons at the far wall, to let in sunlight.   The fourth door led to a room of the same size, but it was filled with exercise equipment. It was used to train and exercise alone or with others. It was rarely used, though, since the crew often stayed outside..   The fifth door led to a room a bit smaller than the others, and was filled with booby traps in order to surprise those sneaking around the ship. Not only could the ceiling fall flat and then lift itself up through a chain mechanism, but the walls also jutted large spikes when pressure was applied to certain points in the room.Few have gone further into the ship. The true intricacy of it's design remains unknown but to Hanzo and Raidou themselves, the architects.To quote the description from a post:  The Mizu no Oni[Demon of the Water] was a gargantuan ship, over a mile tall and just as long. On this day ebony steel cut through the seas quickly towards the next destination of the Chaos Pirates: The Ancient Ruins. From their base- that of a living island- the crew set off in their massive technological vessel aiming to journey across half of the globe in less than a day. Currently, night had fallen on the ship and other further hid it from sight, Sumato-ko[Smart Steel] rippling like the tides around them.   You see, while technology was powered by Mana in this world, the concept of creating a seafaring vessel with a near-limitless supply of energy was still next to impossible. But through the combination of stolen blueprints from the Holy Army that sought dominion over this world and the Sorcery of Hagane Raidou, this ship was given not only a gigantic fuel source but an engine capable of keeping it stable while those energies grew exponentially due to the powers used upon them. But what was Mana?   Such was the name given to ethereal energies in this ream, dormant within the soul until awakened to manifest their magical potential. There were two forms of this power- Arcane and Divine- which sparked a religious war that decimated the globe forevermore. Now the continents numbered eight in total, all of relatively equal size yet harboring unique conditions of climate and landscape as if each country represented all of a specific time. But while the powers between these types of Mana differed little, most chose only one-fearing eternal purgatory and preferring to play it safe.   But the Pirate King, he who was Captain of the Chaos Pirates and the Mizu no Oni, took on both forms of power as his only goal was to save his own world. By any means necessary. An Atheist, his lack of belief only further convinced him to make this decision. And because of this, Takamitzu 'Denja' Hanzo not only gained eternal youth and enhanced physiology but two devastating abilities that astounded even other Sorcerers. The Arcane Swordsman still preferred physical combat, but with his powers he could still take on even the most dangerous of foes. Or so he thought.   He dozed in his throne, black bandanna pulled tight over both hair as gray as iron and eyleids closed shut in slumber. A crimson coat hung over him like a light blanket, the black kanji reading 'Chaos' down the back hidden by the back of that seat of velvet and gold. A black robe covered his muscular body, and the ends of ebony jeans were tucked tight into like-colored boots. In that crimson sash around his waist were four sheathed weapons, all of varying mystical properties. The white hilt on his right hip was the only one not forged by the Master Swordsman's own hand,and the others sticking out from a space behind the arms of the throne were all made of materials found on his ship at this moment. Kazeko[Wind Steel] , Manametaru[Mana Metal] and Sumato-ko made up each weapon, but their properties were those that greatly aided the Mizu no Oni in it's own travels.   Smart Steel was made up of countless nanoscopic pieces of black metal, the likes of which could change to the whim of an ethereal current. As such, not only could the hull change shape and sprout cannons or other physical extensions at the drop of a dime, but it dampened impacts by spreading them throughout a mile. And below this thick layer was more metal, that of Rashomon- A concrete-like metal with density almost as high as diamond! But even before that, Mana Metal would try to absorb any ethereal charges used from a thin layer between the aforementioned two. Deeper within, in the heart of the ship, was the Mana Engine that used these properties in conjunction to keep a spherical source of translucent, teal Divine Mana almost a quarter the size of the ship stable.   Like a centrifuge of great caliber, the machine encompassed that energy source with ever-spinning runs of Manametaru to keep excess amounts from reaching out and using what was absorbed to further fuel other functions instead of overloading the Engine's Capacity. Smart Steel also coated this centrifuge in order to move into certain positions to plug leaks or carry energy elsewhere through tunnels of Manametaru that supplied ethereal charges from this source to other parts of the Mizu no Oni. The sprawling, crimson deck atop the vessel where the mast carrying a jolly roger-That of a Skull with two blades in it's bandanna-wearing head, and another between it's teeth with red kanji telling of how it represented Chaos- was made of Hagane Uddo[Steel Wood] treated to not only resist heat like the rest of the ship but holding density higher than iron to make it far more sturdy than it first appeared. That throne sat dead center on the deck,in front of a door leading into the vessel while staircases on either side lead to the stern- the upper-deck where the Captain or Shipwright could bring forth screens of Mana and command systems from a console built under the wood-just like a location near the bow.   Most of the ship was lined with Smart Steel, but in the gray room covered in Rashomon surrounding the Engine .Hagane Raidou, Chaos Shipwright, sleepily eyed ethereal images floating about him between great wings of crimson hue. The Wrath Yokai was eight feet tall, lounging in a sofa with his mace-ended tail hitting the floor and wings covering his energy-resistant hide and sharp claws from view. While these creatures were known for mindless brutality, the shipwright obviously differed; He was not only a genius in terms of ship-building but of Mana as well, and his power of Divine Generation is what gave his Captain's energy the ability to nurture itself and become self-sufficient as to create the large ball of it only yards from the Yokai.

Konton Kenjutsu-Chaotic Sword Technique-Hanzo has a mastery of the blade, his aura also helping in his attacks. His mastery of the blade allows him to cut through substances harder than steel, not cut through anything if he so chooses, and Hakkei(long range sword strikes that use shockwaves to either cut through people or just their organs)-- Mutoryu(No Sword Style)- Hanzo uses no swords in this style, and often infuses his physical prowess, and cutting moves, into this style.It is basically a hand-to-hand style used when he didn't need, want to , or couldn't use his blades.Moves:-Mutoryu: Chakram(No Sword Style:Chakram)- Hanzo spins at a rapid pace, using his mana-enhanced speed and momentum to move at high velocity and crash down on the opponent with a powerful overhead kick in an attempt to kick and cut through them almost like a blade.-Mutoryu: Kengan Rendan(No Sword Style: Fist Pistol Barrage)- Hanzo rapidly flurries his fists at his opponent, in an attempt to beat them senseless. He has used it to cause an entire area to quake when missing.Depending on the power invested in the assault, the range of this attack can vary.-Mutoryu: Tatsu Maki(No Sword Style: Dragon Twister)- Hanzo spins his arms after flexing, sending a spiraling wave of aura capable of bursting steel towards his target. Made out of concentrated winds imbued with his Mana, the speed and power behind the attack also form an edge to essentially 'cut' the target(s).Besides this, Hanzo has shown no other named moves.-- Ittoryu(One Sword Style)- Hanzo is able to use devastating attacks with one blade, usually being more powerful than his Niitoryu or Santoryu. His style has many references to religion and animals in this style. They are usually finishing moves, and the sword is usually used with his left hand in this case.Moves:-Ittoryu Iai: Shishi Sonson(One Sword Style Draw and Resheath Technique: Lion's Song)- With this move, Hanzo rushes at his opponent fasterthan any human can travel, unleashing high speeds at the last moment going full speed as he slashes at the opponent, moves past them, and sheaths his blade in what seems like one motion due to the speed of the move. It has the ability to cut steel like butter as well, due to the heat gained by the kinetic force of the attack as well as the cutting power and strength behind it. Behind him as this happens, his aura and killing intent forge the image of a ferocious Lion like a subliminal image as Hanzo moves.-Ittoryu Iai: Shi Shishi Sonson(One Sword Style Draw and Resheath Technique: Lion's Song of Death)- An improved version of The above move, which allows Hanzo much more power and now the ability to cut even diamond and harder things. Between the two,He usually uses the move best fit to fell his opponent. This increase in power is due to the fact that this attack utilizes his Mana as well, augmenting strength and power to new levels.-Ittoryu: Itzen Sekai(One sword Style: One Thousand Worlds)- Hanzo spins his blade rapidly, and rushes the opponent, striking them in a manner similar to a fusion of Shi Shishi Sonson and Kamakiri Giri.-Ittoryu: Doragonkyanon ( One Sword Style: Dragon Cannon)- Hanzo slashes his blade, and sends out a shockwave of red aura, able to cut through steel and harder things, and sends it flying at his target. It is his standard projectile technique. As for how it is created, see Mutoryu : Tatsu Maki.- Kiken! Ittoryu : Kohaiken! (Danger! One Sword Style : Devastation Slash)- The Arcane Swordsman uses Kaosu or another blade capable of channeling Mana to move and leave in his wake a growing ,ethereal blade of energy. This is used to cut down large foes, such as a beast the size of an ocean in a fight against Silace Nightingale. More recently, the blade Saikuron manipulates winds and makes them form the shape of the gigantic weapon.-Ittoryu: Yaka Hiryu Giri(One Sword Style: Burning Dragon Slash)- Hanzo runs at the opponent, drawing and slashing similar to Shi Shishi SonSon with a dragonic aura around him, and whatever it hit set on blue fire, a fire mixed with his aura that burned the spirit of what it englufed; Summoning his Divine Aura in it's most deadly form, prolonged use can even damage the soul of the user despite he being the one who spanws this Celestial Flame.-Ittoryu: : Oni-tō no Jōshō(One Sword Style : Rising Demon Tower)- Hanzo spins wildly, creating a massive tornado with the winds to fly high into the air.--Ittoryu : Oni-tō Kōjun(One Sword Style : Descending the Demon Tower)- Hanzo uses Oniken to trap the tornado caused by the earlier technique and bring it down on his foe like a gigantic cyclone of a blade.-Ittoryu: Kami Giri(One Sword Style:God Slash)- Hanzo focuses all of his strength into one massive blow, able to split an island in two. His strongest shown Ittoryu technique. By projecting his Mana out along with the massive force of wind from his slash, few can survive this; To cut an island itself , however, Hanzo must literally slash up the length of the land from ground level or close to it to achieve the desired resultOther named moves have yet to be seen, besides regular slashing and advanced swordplay.--Niitoryu(Two Sword Style) - The primary style Hanzo uses, it involves 2 blades and is usually very swift and efficient. Able to do more with 2 blades, Hanzo's Niitoryu can perhaps best his Ittoryu in a longer fight. Many religious/animal references.Moves:-Niitoryu Iai: Rashomon(Two Sword Style: Rashomon)- Rushing at high speeds, Hanzo slashed with two sheathed blades and resheathed them, much like Shi Shishi Sonson but with two blades and therefore double the power.-Niitoryu: Furasshu(Two Sword Style: Flash)- Hanzo spins, his blades parallel to each other, and slashes at his opponent with the strength he uses while using Kamakiri Giri.-Niitoryu: Kamakiri Giri(Two Sword Style: Mantis Slash) - Hanzo uses two blades to strike the opponent using his ability to cut 'anything' , by combining his mana, aura, inner power,speed, strength and swordsmanship.

One might note that when Hanzo strikes, he is most vulnerable.-Niitoryu: Chakram(Two Sword Style: Chakram)- Hanzo spins with two blades, almost like Mutoryu: Chakram only with more power and his blades.-Niitoryu: Oni Giri Rendan(Two Sword Style: Demon Slash Barrage)- Wildly swinging his blades again and again, letting his aura flow at maximum, and attempting to cleave his target to pieces, Hanzo attempts to also back them into a corner and finish them once breaking through their defense.No other named moves have been seen yet. --Santoryu(Three Sword Style)- When Hanzo is serious, he will use all 3 blades, with the third in his mouth. This style is the stepping stone for Rokutoryu, as well as his most powerful style overall besides Kiki Deva. Giving him 3 blades to attack with, he also has access to much deadlier demonic techniques. Many religious/animal/slash referencesMoves:-Santoryu: Kaosu Giri(Three Sword Style: Chaos Slash)- Hanzo crosses his blades and holds them facing behind him, the blades vertical and parallel to the one in his mouth. He then rushes the opponent, Attempting to slash them thrice at rapid speeds, using his aura and often mana added with the ability to cut steel.-Santoryu: Yaka Kaosu Giri(Three Sword Style: Burning Chaos Slash)- Hanzo does the same as Oni Giri, only using his Arcane Mana to spawn fire around his blades and give his attack a fiery enhancement..-Santoryu: Rengoku Oni Giri(Three Sword Style: Purgatory Demon Slayer)- An improved Kaosu Giri, Hanzo does the same thing with more power, aura, and Divine Mana, and crushes the opponents defenses to strike them much harder than Kaosu Giri itself.As he does this, a ghoulish figure seems to flash behind him like a subliminal image.-Santoryu: Tatsu Maki(Three Sword Style: Dragon Twister)- Hanzo spins and slashes the air with his blades, creating a small twister of aura similar to Niitoryu: Taka no Ho at his target. While he does this, a subliminal image of a dragon appears behind him.-Santoryu: Oni Tatsumaki(Three Sword Style: Demon Whirlwind)- The same as Tatsu Maki, Hanzo spins and slashes, but this time spins so fast and slashes so strongly that he creates a massive whirlwind, that can cut steel as if it were fruit. It doesn't seem to stop until somebody or something stops it directly. Like Tatsu Maki, a Dragon flashes behind Hanzo as well while using this move.-Santoryu:Oni Garasu Giri (Three Sword Style: Demon Crow Slash)- Hanzo spins at an enemy with his swords, eventually coming to a head with a tornado-like move while slashing with two blades crossed over the one in his mouth. This attack leaves cuts shaped like crows' feet, and can slice through steel easily. A subliminal image of a crow flashes as Hanzo strikes.-Santoryu: Tsurugi no Mai(Three Sword Style:Sword Dance)- Hanzo spins and weaves around, blocking off and dodging his opponents attacks, and then goes in to strike them, like Niitoryu:Mai no Hebi.-Santoryu: Gazami Dori(Three sword Style: Crab Grab)-All three swords are horizontally parallel, suddenly clamping down on the target like a crab's claw for a guillotine-like effect that would normally cut a person's head off. A vision of a crab subliminally appears behind Hanzo as he does this.-Kiken! Santoryu : Akushitsu no Fukushu!(Danger! Three Sword Style : Vicious Vengeance!)- Hanzo spins the blades in his hands(similar to Tsu Yashin Ha below) but instead exlusively aims for the head and neck to try and decapitate his foe early. This was used to murder Fei Hatzis.-Santoryu: Tatsu Tsume(Three Sword Style: Dragon Claw)-  Hanzo lines his three blade's parallel, a dragonic aura engulfing him,as he rushes or spins at the opponent to hit them, similar to Niitoryu: Furasshu.-Santoryu: Oni Tatsu Tsume(Three Sword Style: Demon Dragon Claw)- Hanzo does the same as Tatsu Tsume, with a stronger aura, and can flow with the technique to keep spinning to attack again.-Santoryu: Tsu Akui no Aru Kyanon(Three Sword Style: Three Malefic Cannons)- Hanzo flexes his blades and swings, sending three dragon-shaped Ittoryu:Doragonkyanon 's at his opponent capable of bursting steel and more.Secret Techniques are the strongest moves Hanzo has displayed.-Santoryu Ogi: Tsu Yashin Ha(Three sword Style Secret Technique:  Three Ambitious Blades)- Hanzo spins the blades in his hands opposite of each other, and rushes to slash with all three blades. One of his strongest moves, like Niizen Sekai, and can allow him to access his Deva form by letting his aura out.-Santoryu Ogi:Rokudo no Tsuji(Three Sword Style Secret Technique: Crossing of Six Paths)- Slashing and curving his blades, in a manner that made it seem as if he never even moved, Hanzo sends six slashes of air to cut through his target, having the strength to cut through Diamond if need be.No other named moves have been seen as of yet --Kiki Rokutoryu: Deva(Demon Spirit Six Sword Style:Deva)- Using Santoryu, Hanzo's spirit can form into a larger demonic form of himself, a Deva able to attack with Hanzo in unison with another 3 blades or fight completely separate from him for a short while. It is one of his strongest Santoryu moves, as his natural stats(already insane) double in this form.Moves:-Deva Rokutoryu: Rokudo no Tsuji(Deva Six Sword Style: Crossing of Six Paths) -Unlike the Santoryu version, this is a close range attack, actually using six blades combined with the powerful aura of the Deva Hanzo and himself to easily slash through diamond and keep going.-Deva Rokutoryu: Rokuzen Sekai(Deva Six Sword Style: Six Thousand Worlds)- Hanzo and the Deva spin their blades, like two Sanzen Sekai's, and then strike the opponent with six blades with more aura than the Santoryu version.Hanzo had decent swordsmanship before training under The Arcane Swordsman and afterwards, Hanzo's use of the blade was phenomenal. In all of his Animal/Religious themed moves, his aura seems to form an armor around him of the said reference as he attacks, and until he is finished with the attack or through with the Demonic Style, the armor doesn't fade. When he attacks someone at great speeds, it seems to flash behind him as he attacks, accompanying him as he strikes and fading when he finishes. Hanzo has the ability to 'cut through anything' , like several Master Swordsmen, meaning his blade will cut what he wants to cut, or in some cases not cut what they don't want cut.  The current Arcane Swordsman could feel the beat of the blade- this being anything with an edge, not necessarily metal- as if it were alive; Feeling the lapse in rhythm which alerted a Master Swordsman that the weapon was at it's most vulnerable. No matter how mighty it may be, the target would be slashed through regardless of composite. This technique literally cut at the 'heart' of the blade.For more information on the Deva's Aura, see the comment posted below.

EniviD NoitibmA[Divine Ambition]EniviD NoitibmA(Divine Ambition): Also known as The Divine Aura. This Divine Technique is legendary, for few ever gained it through a Divine Ritual and it was infamous for it's power. The power to null other abilities completely.This mana took on the form of a glowing,golden transparent aura around Hanzo or his weapons, and with it he could contact the intangible, and counteract any energy by enveloping it in mana and letting both fade away from the clash of power. This ability was primarily used to negate supernatural phenomena of any kind, and while in use could siphon Hanzo's Arcane Mana and use it as another energy source; In turn making him unable to use Arcane Inferno while using Divine Ambition.With his massive mana supply, most foes are unable to fight him with sorcery when confronted with this power's use, forcing them to fight physically; Which was where Hanzo excelled. This mana fed off of Arcane and Divine Mana together, and thus only one with both mana reserves even had the capacity to use it. Most importantly, it took an equal amount of each type of Mana to become this golden energy.Hanzo later found out the true power of Divine Ambition: Belief. What he believed when he got the power was that it stopped others, as his master told him. But much later on in his pirate career, the swordsman found that what he believed he could use the energy of the Divine Aura for,he could do. His focused, gnosistic or ignosistic beliefs fuel his power, changing the properties of his aura to match. Because of this power always being active in a small way, as an interdimensional traveler Hanzo remembers people from alternate lives as if suffering from flashbacks and headaches. His power actually allows this, as Hanzo believes that such things are possible and therefore memories from the other person are shared with the current Pirate King. Additionally, as one who uses both Arcane and Divine Mana, his power keeps him immune to influence of any kind. Once thought to be because he was Atheist in religion, it has now been shown that Hanzo rejecting the thought that the Mana he used could corrupt him causes outside influences-be they ethereal, mental or atomic/molecular- are highly resisted against. Even more so when Mana of either type is used, as this power influences both forms of Mana in these two regards.Techniques:神のアウラKami no AuraThe Divine AuraWith this technique, Hanzo manifests the golden aura described above,able to counter and essentially 'negate' supernatural phenomena.Feeding into both mana reserves, Arcane and Divine. Immortality, magical attacks, elemental assaults, and even energy were useless against this aura, which struck one's energy source or soul.While using this technique, the only other thing Hanzo can use his mana for is to enhance his strength, speed and reflexes instead of sorcery. This does not include his weapons.The energy is meant to take on other forms of supernatural energy and destroy it in suicide assaults where equal amounts of both the Divine Aura and it's target are vanquished.It assaults such energies on an atmoic, spiritual and magical level combined, aiming to snuff out other supernatural sources of power as well.カオスアザラシKaosuazarashiChaos SealFusing both Arcane and Divine Mana into his golden aura at one, it becomes darker and tinted red, and with it he can create blasts of aura-taking on the form of golden and red flames(which were not flames at all, it was simply his Arcane Technique fusing with his Divine)- that literally seal energies,objects and people away into a blazing sphere of his aura, which can slowly degrade their physical stamina and spiritual energy, and powers are useless;however, it drains Hanzo's Mana twice as fast. Due to the powerful nature of this technique, it takes longer to prepare than Kami no Aura.

OnrefnI EnacrA[Arcane Inferno]-OnrefnI EnacrA(Arcane Inferno): This power allows one to mimic the powers of a Naturist Sorcerer, but for only one element. One could create ,control and even become fire using Arcane Inferno, though the more fire used, the more mana is drained. For changing one's body to fire, they must let their Arcane Mana flow through the part of their body and change it;though the change is instantaneous. A draining technique in terms of mana usage, Hanzo rarely uses fire mimicry for real battle,but often takes advantage of the immunity it gives him to heat: Also allowing him to see through light,darkness and smoke. A fiery metabolism is what Hanzo calls the fire within that causes intoxication inpossible without massive amounts of alcohol, implying that poisons and foreign elements ingested, inhaled and contacted are burned to nothing. This ability has recreational uses to him, and was his main ability before becoming a Twilight Sorcerer. Hanzo can create, control and become Fire. Because of that, he can avoid physical blows(By instinctively turning his body to fire), and create anything he imagines out of fire with enough mana.Named attacks:--Hiken(Fire Fist): A 3,000 degree fahrenheit fist of fire(like a fireball) flies at the opponent(can be larger or smaller, depending on user's strength and the power they put into the attack)--Flame (Animal): The user creates a creature made of fire to attack. Can vary in size as well.--Higan(Flame Pistol): Hanzo points his fingers like a child points a gun, but from the extended index and middle fingers shoot out bullets of concentrated flames, that can pierce steel with the raw concussive force and temperature of almost two thousand degrees.-Higan: Fireworks(Flame Pistol: Fireworks): Shooting a Higan, Hanzo charges it to explode after a certain range, resulting in a fiery explosion that looks to be a firework if seen in the sky.--Ho-Ho(Flame Cannon): Hanzo shoots, from his palm, a blast of fire and heat, or can use it to spill out a flame continuously like a flamethrower.-- Flame Pillar: Hanzo surrounds himself with fire, and sends a rocketing beam of fire above him in a fiery explosion to repel attacks.--Entei(Flame Emperor): a miniature, 10,000 degree 200 ft in diameter miniature sun. The heat can be lowered or suppressed by Hanzo, and it does not affect it's environment as much as it should unless the user fails to suppress the heat intentionally or through improper use.--Supernova: Making the Entei explode, Causing an implosion that creates an explosion of solar radiation and pure heat. Luckily, Hanzo's own move does not harm him with heat, and though his body could withstand a great deal of the raidation he would be severely weakened by the attack himself.--Entei Buunshin (Flame Emperor Warrior)- Hanzos body becomes a living Entei, allowing him more control of heat and solar-based attacks, and his body becoming a small sun instead of fire if hit. The form can only last for a bit more than a minute, though, but within this time Hanzo has almost no limits concerning the heat he produces(volume-wise)-- Dopple Entei(Twin Entei)- 2 Enteis are summoned, one from each palm. see Entei for more details. The exertion from using this technique can put a severe strain on the arms, spaaing Hanzo's great strength in order to properly weild these weapons--Entei Ho(Flame Emperor Cannon)- The user spirals flames around them(In a similar fashion to constructing 'Entei') and shoots out an Entei.Hanzo can also fly by using the power to turn his lower half into a small, spiraling inferno. In his fire form, he rapidly eats oxygen, and any attacks he uses saps said oxygen from the area it travels through. Hanzo has learned to use this power instinctively through training(i.e. If one were to simply try to touch him physically without some kind of way to stop the fire or his power, or bypass it, his body becomes fire and the move passes harmlessly through him.) This makes Hanzo a very threatening opponent, as some opponents can't even hurt him unless he willingly keeps himself solid or stops his power for a moment.  Even without using this technique, temperature has no effect whatsoever on Hanzo.Entei Techniques require massive mana consumption and concentration, and therefore are rarely used. After the use of one or more of these techniques, Hanzo's ability to produce and control flames is nulled for four hours. While he retains his immunities and resistances, he cannot manipulate flame after the use of an Entei Technique.

  Full Name: Takamitzu 'Denjā' Hanzo Alias: The Santoryu Swordsman Relatives: Unknown -Age: 148 (25 in appearance) Birthdate: January 20th -Height: 6'5 -Weight: Roughly 250lbs -Hair color: Steely gray -Eye Color: Steely gray -Animal Reference: Dragon  Marital Status: Single -Occupation: 混沌海賊のキャプテン        Konton Kaizoku no Kyaputen       Captain of the Chaos Pirates   -Personality: Cold, Reckless, tends to believe that anything that happens was destined to. Since losing his crew, he tends to be very protective of any new nakama. He hates slavery to the point where he even kills the masters of those who were alright with it. He loves to smoke tobacco and marijuana, and can drink as much as he wants since he can sober himself using his Arcane Technique to burn excess alcohol from hi system.He loves blades, and can forge them himself. He has a problem with anyone thinking themselves as better or stronger than him, and often lashes out in such situations.      -Sorcery Type: Chaos(Twilight) -Appearance: Muscular build, a red captain's coat with 'Chaos' written on the back in kanji, black bandanna tied around forehead or hair,black pants and shoes and 3 swords strapped to his right hip . On his torso is a flowing scar from his right hip to left shoulder. Sometimes He wears a black samurai robe, tied together by a red sash at his waist. He looks 25 physically. -Physical Ability: Even before becoming a sorcerer, Hanzo's body had been pushed to it's limits, and after which he continued to train. Not only can he nearly move as fast as lightning with little mana usage and lift nearly a ton as well without his body suffering, but with mana flowing through him his speed nears that of light;and he is able to kick the air with such force that he can essentially 'leap' through the air. His incredible stamina as a human allowed him to survive two strikes from The Arcane Swordsman, and with each ritual grew in power. -(Unarmed) Fighting Style : Itan Ken (Heretic Fist) A style Hanzo created ,often utilizing carefully planned positioning based on the illusion of random, flowing movements. Hanzo connects bizzare moves, like turning an all-out spin into a grappling manuever, or falling backwards only to deliver a devastating upward kick. His movements seem completely random and sometimes even provoked, but in reality he is carefully positioning himself into a position of power over his opponent.   -Sensory AwarenessL A spreading, invisible field of influence is sent out in the direction Hanzo chooses to seek out and identify life and energy around him ,including spiritual and magical presences. Having honed this skill during his physical training, the Pirate King is extremely adept at using this skill and thus utilizes it to scope out his surrounding and track foes in battle. It can spread for a radius of ten miles at most, with intense concentration.   -Superhuman Physiology: Sorcerers not only gain eternal youth but their bodies change; Hanzo only appears human and is similar in anatomy, but in reality his body is many times stronger in every spect now that he had become a Sorcerer-more so upon awakening both types of Mana. Through training his physical prowess is astounding even in his own world, prompting most to rely on their powers instead when they found they could not match him in normal combat. Mana also augments his physical traits while he has an output around him.       -Stats Strength: 10/10 Speed: 9.5/10 Stamina: 10/10 Agility: 10/10 Power: 10/10 Intelligence: 8/10 Flexibility: 10/10 Swordsmanship: 10/10 Tact: 10/10 Balance: 10/10 Close Range: 10/10 Mid Range: 9/10 Long Range: 8.5/10 Mana Type(Divine or Arcane): Both Control of Divine Mana: 10/10 Divine Mana Reserve: 9/10 Control of Arcane Mana: 7/10 Arcane Mana Reserve: 8/10

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.

A Pirate's Arsenal-Weapons: Hanzo occasionally changes blades, apparently from a stash on his ship, but he always carries at least three. Weapons are enchanted with his Arcane Mana and his immunity to temperature over time to render them as heatproof as the one who owned them.Oniken(Demon Blade): A blade Hanzo gained after fighting a fearsome swordsman named Hitatsu Yomoto. The man was known for shattering the dreams of those striving for the top, but Hanzo defeated him, and afterwards took his legendary blade. The legend states that 'Nothing for of sorcery can shatter this sword,or even bend it.' The blade, therefore, seemed to be extremely durable in design, and was named the Demon Blade for the fact that it made other swords seem weak in comparison to it's 'hardness' and ability to ignore Arcane and Divine Mana.   An Arcane Alchemist once caused Blade Yokai-with bodies made of changing metallic properties from their diet- to feud with one another and cause a war consiting of hundreds of the creatures. His trap was set, and using their falling bodies as fuel he comprised a material that literally ignored forms of energy from the countless materials used and the dark intentions behind it. The hilt, however, was made of a material capable of allowing one to wield the sword by the handle and guard. Kinetic energy ceased to be upon contact with the weapon, as did other forms of energy in general: Winds stopped in it's wake,weapons that met this blade-weighing in at a standard ton- stopped in their tracks. It was a truly devastating tool to behold. However, to use the weapon one must channel Arcane Mana through the wavy line running up the blade.Minimum Prep Required: x0.5 Arcane ChargeVisual- The hilt is 8 inches long, black with blood-red metallic circles running down the sides. The guard, shaped like a flower , had the same red tinge. The blade itself is 23 inches long, made of black steel with a red, wavy design near the cutting edge. At the start of the blade, near the hilt, Demon(Oni) was inscribed in kanji on the left side of the sword. The sheath is black, with intricate , seemingly tribal markings all over it. Konton(Chaos): Hanzo forged this blade himself, and spent three weeks on it making sure it was perfect, sharp, swift and deadly. He used a now-manufactured material named Manametaru[Mana Metal], known for it's property to absorb ethereal charges and store them inside of it's silver metal. Hanzo can feed mana into it for later usage, and therefore often has a hidden stash of mana to overwhelm those when faced with a tough situation.Maximum Capacity: x2.0 ChargesStandard Carried Charges: x1.0 Arcane Mana | x1.0 Divine ManaMaximum Output[per turn]: x0.5 Charge***Kaosu currently has a new ability, as on Death Queen Island it absorbed the soul of Alexander Moltier. Combined with an alchemising agent augmented from another enemy in thr same battle, the weapon holds a power with 12 prep. 3 prep minimum for (3 turns of letting the blade charge) is needed to activate this power, which can create an energy that devours and seals that of others, even that within the body.Visual- The hilt is 7 inches long, red with a silver band in the middle. The blade itself is 22 inches, silver metal with Chaos(Konton) in kanji inscribed on the left side, near the hilt. The sheath is red, with two gold bands near the top.Shinsei(Divinity):  It was swift, efficient, and did everything that a proper blade should. Hanzo took it from his sensei after his death, knowing full well it's ability to cut any material as if it were paper through the use of Divine Mana. The Greatest Divine Swordsmen from the time of Hanzo's sensei created it long ago,to symbolize he who was the World's Greatest Swordsman that changed the molecular structure of what the teal energies used to coat it contacted. Truly allowing one to cut whatever they wished with the proper output, it was legendary in this world of Sorcery for it's power.Minimum Prep Required : x0.5 Divine ChargeVisual- The hilt is 6 inches long, white with golden lattice. The blade itself is 22 inches long, with Divinity(Shinsei) inscribed in kanji on the left side, near the hilt. The sheath is plain white.Oarashi [Perfect Storm]These three blades were all crafted by Hanzo himself, and were most effective when used collaboratively. --Kari [Hunt] - A great claymore, the hilt was a foot long and supported a five-foot long blade of gray, stone-like material. This was truly a metal, known as Rashomon, valued highly for both it's rarity and the fact that it had a density higher than ruby or titanium.On either side, near the base of the blade, was a small orb of either red or blue which responded to the correct type of mana. Within the blade were nanoscopic pieces of 'smart metal', a type of steel that responded to ethereal whims(it also made up the pirate's flagship). It allowed the claymore to split into three blades, or ,alternately, change into two different forms: -Hayumi[Blade Bow] : While the claymore can split into three blades, it can simply part the two curved blades on the sides perpendicular with the middle sword to create the shape of a large bow. Inside, the smart metal that essentially controlled the weapon channeled mana through the handle with enough pressure to launch the middle blade in a straight line, essentially acting as a gigantic bow. -Rinkuha[Link Blade] : The orbs at the base of the blade split off when the blade was split, one on each of the 'side' blades. It created an ethereal chain of mana connecting the two hooked blades, not only allowing for far-reaching swings but acting as a conduit for the energy as well. The 'chain' retained the density of the blades, and acted as a powerful weapon in itself.Prep Source : Spools of Mana within the orbs on either side of the weapon --Saikuron [Cyclone] - The hilt was six inches long and green, and the blade itself was a gleaming silver, twenty-two inches long. It was made of Kaze-ko[Wind Metal] , a material that allowed manipulation of the winds to a degree. The problem was that when the metal reached it's melting point, it too turned to nothing but air. A master smith was needed to forge a sword out of it, but luckily Hanzo was just that. An arc of the blade affected the air molecules around it and compressed them, forming blades of sharpened wind which stayed airborne for up to five minutes. They could also be moved at will, though this took more effort.Prep Source: Air and Oxygen that the blade passes through | Winds incorporated by air already affected by this sword's ability --Kishimeuma [Knightmare] - The same nanoscopic metal that lined Kari made a two-foot-long ebony blade, complete with a gauntlet-shaped guard. The power of this blade came from it's ability to transform at will, also allowing it to grow far larger in size if needed. Because of this countless forms were possible, and it acted as a variable weapon for any situation.Even the sheath was made of the same material.Prep Source: Concentration | WillSpecial Swords-San no Ken(The Sword of the Sun) : This claymore was five feet long, the metal that made the hilt and the blade golden in color and lined with small ventilation holes and designs of flames and the sun.The sword was able to channel fire to increase it's power as well as serve as a conduit for greater flame-based attacks. Since Hanzo found it in the Ancient Ruins while leaving, he has kept it locked away but for rare occasions.Prep Source : Heat or Arcane Mana-Kage no Ken(The Sword of Shadows) : This katana's blade was fourteen inches long, the hilt six inches of pure black steel, the blade itself made of a darker material. The guard was shaped like the smiling face of some kind of evil, small-horned creature. Possibly a demon. This blade could use the shadows around it to create 'dopplegangers' of the user which copy the user's movements and style. However, if not used for good intentions, the dopplegangers will seek to kill their original and take their body over.Prep Source: Arcane Mana or Deva EnergiesHanzo attained this sword from a Black Artifacts Dealer, and has since locked it in his sword room with most of his other weapons.Custom Swords:-Sanpu[Scatter] :  With a golden hilt six inches long and black blade three times that size. It was made of an alloy which chipped off microscopic bits of itself when striking something, and when mana was imbued into it it could be detonated on command to cause a powerful explosion to erupt from the shrapnel. While the metal of the blade regenerated over time,it could be used in it's entirety and still grow back. Created by Hanzo himself, this blade was stored away in his ship for the time being. This material was discovered when too much heat melted and warped the Sumatoko[Smart Steel] that made up a since-recycled Kishimeuma model during a treatment of Arcane Mana, forming this strange alloy.The next three blades were obtained within a lost temple in which Sorcerers committed to worshipping the ones who changed the world resided. After destroying the loving structure, Hanzo built himself a new trio of weapins based on the two alloys found there as well as one earlier found on Raijin Island-the experience of the latter convincing the pirate to craft sleeves for all of his hilts that lock into the guard in order to spare himself electrical damage due to the durability and non-conductivity of Hagane Uddo(Steel Wood):Hansha[Reflection]A sturdy blade made up completely of the reflective Mirametaru, each arc of this weapon manifests a mirror image of the sword coming from the opposite direction. However, while the apparition is metaphysical to the user it will affect it's surroundings with the same physical attributes as what it is 'reflecting'. The main power of this blade lies within it's ability to harness and 'reflect' elements to inflict or defend against harm in a world of Sorcery. Hanzo obtained this material from a temple made of Mirametaru, which proved to house part of the power of the elementals who brought his world to ruin due to their actions a millennium ago.The blade is twenty-two inches long and almost camouflages itself due to it's nature of reflecting the surrounding imagery.Prep Source: Nature(Air, Water, Fire and Earth. Even the winds strengthen this weapon)Tameru[Save]This weapon was made of Doka Kinzoku, a crystalline material very much like diamond refined into a blade. The properties of this mystical alloy allowed it to absorb and harness kinetic energy from around it, utilized later to either send forth explosive bursts of concussive force or increase the physical capabilities of the sword and it's user.Just like Hansha, the blade itself is twenty-two inches long.Prep Source: Kinetic EnergyKaminari[Thunder]Golden in color, this mysical metal acted as a conduit for electiricty, even going so far as to gather and electrical charge around it and even manipulating gravitational forces to build power. Able to manipulate electricity, this weapon is even capable of generating it with the aid of Mana.The blade itself is twenty-two inches long.Prep Source: Static Electricity, Magnetic Energy, ManaThe Nexus Key:A six inch long, thick golden key, covered in gems of varying colors. The prize of The King of the Pirates, the true owner is able to open portals to any location they know of, or jump randomly through time and space. Any besides the True King can't use it besides a few, but even then the location is random, for whoever killed the previous KIng is the only one with that control over this mysterious artifact.The energies trapped within an alloy not of this world filled with sorcerers reacted to the gems studded about, equally unknown to this globe's geology, and in response broke through the barriers of time and space to bend their 'realm' and link the world the key was used in to another. While this can also apply to times and locations, the Chaos Pirates most often use it to explore foreign realms.The user must have enough knowledge of the terrain or personal memories there to pick a specific destination. If one is not chosen, the location shall be chosen at random. Although the current Pirate King usually picks his destinations at random, in times of war or emergency the Nexus Portals are used for quick transportation. This energy is currently under study by Hagane Raidou, Shipwright and Mana Scientist of the Chaos Pirates.

Its finally here! Its the day of Planet Mobius Freedom Festival at Mobotropolis. Today is a day for celebration. A day for freedom. A day when Mobius took back their independance from the evil Dr. Robotnik. Thousands of music lovers were entering the festival grounds like crazy. This years festival is going to be bigger than last year. There's going to be several opening acts for the concert series. Bands like Mina The Mongooses band and Sonic Underground will be the opening acts for this years special guest bands from Earth. Those bands are Metallica, ACDC, Skillet, and Aerosmith. Security is really up tight. Due to the fact of a possible Terrorist attack.Last years freedom fest ended with a disasterthanks to Robotniks swat bots causing the stages to colapse on several bands. Princess Sally Acorn made it clear that the guests at this years festival will be much more safer than last years festival.  Behind one of the big stages on the East End of the grounds the Sonic Underground was getting ready to go on Stage. All of the fans were chanting the bands name as their intro song'O Fortuna' was being played.Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonia the Hedgehog, Manic the Hedgehog, Miles Tails Prower, and Spark Stevens were in a circle huddled up.  "Ok guys. This is our first concert back together in 3 years. Let's give these fans one hell of a show to remember. You guys ready?" Sonic said trying to get his band mates pumped up.  "Yeah!"shouted Tails, Spark, Sonia, and Manic. "Alright. Let's surprise these fans with Pinball Wizard."said Sonic. With that the band went on stage. Sonia sat behind her piano, Manic sat behind his drumset, Sonic walked out on stage with his signature double knecked guitar, Tails walked out carrying a yellow bass guitar while Spark came out carrying his X-Plorer custom built guitar.(OOC:Picture James Hetfileds Guitar From Metallica) As the audience seen the band on stage they went absolutely nuts. Soon they began playing the first song of the show which was of course The Whos PinBall Wizard

  Name: Haruka Akichi   Nickname: Haru-chan (Haruna, Diamond-Rose, Saori, Kayin)   Biological Sex: Female   Gender Identity: Cis   Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual   Birthday: August 26th, 981 O.R.   Real Age: 267 years old, 14-15 in appearance   Birthplace: Mizukaze City, Ryuukaze-jima, Japan   Astrological Sign: Virgo   Zodiac Sign: Monkey   Blood Type: B-   Species: Obake/human hybrid: Ryuugami-jin, Sanguinos/Vampyre, Dryad/Nymph   Ethnicity: Mixed (Greek, German, Japanese/Yamato, Italian, Cantonese)   Distinguishing Features: - Unlike her sister, who has a small mole in the upper right hand corner of her lip, her mole is in the lower left hand corner of her bottom lip - She, like more of the recent Akichi clan members, has a different natural hair color than older Akichi clan members, being born with black hair and lavender irises. - She often tries to avoid drawing attention to her body, especially her chest, which only serves to draw more attention to it.   Personality: She is extremely introverted, brought on by years of being teased by boys in her class for having the body of a prepubescent boy while other girls in her class were beginning to develop curves, and the girls in her class never helped defend her either, except Haruna. She may also seem a little odd, as she talks to fauna/plants, though most people are unaware that they talk back to her, whispering people's most intimate secrets.   Despite her agoraphobia, social anxiety, and frequent panic attacks, Haruka wishes that she could help others and be more outgoing like Haruna. She has a strong desire to help others, but she just can't bring herself to do it.   Addictions: corn salad with mayo and cream cheese and collecting rare flowers   Phobias: being a burden, agoraphobia   Hobbies: meditating, reading, swimming,   Personal History: She was extremely insecure when she was younger due to constantly being teased for her boyish figure, and so she developed a fear of going outside and being in large groups...or small groups....of people. The only solace she finds when she is outside is when she is in nature, surrounded by various trees, bushes, plants and animals. Being the daughter of a dryad, she can communicate with the flora and fauna of any region, especially those of her father's homeland, which makes her extremely useful for recon missions. She also has the innate ability to create cures for most poisons and ailments, which she often gives to people who come seeking natural remedies at the Tsukishiro shrine located in the mountains located behind her home, Mizukaze Castle.   While she is a level 4 R.E.P. agent, she hardly goes on missions. Instead, she remains at the Japanese HQ in Mizukaze City and helps her mother in the Science and Medicine department or her cousin Andreus in the Mechanics, Aviation, Cybernetics, Engineering, and Robotics  (M.A.C.E.R.).   Ambitions: To help others and stand on her own   Quotes: "We live in a beautiful world that has landscapes that can amaze and bewitch the senses, if we allow it to thrive and appreciate it. Respect nature, and give thanks for its warming guidance."
