I don't mind.

[!Supra¡]

you won't be introduce to the other characters however until their mission finishes so to pass the time you'll be having sort of a prequel-esque thing going on before you actually come into light along with the other player characters, btw, you'll be facing an opponent during your first day at Hishirimi Temple so prepare for battle XD

Okay

[u][b]Personal Info[/b][/u]
[b]Name[/b]: Kurotsuki Yosho
[b]Age[/b]: 16
[b]Gender[/b]: Male
[b]Blood Type[/b]: AB
[b]Date of Birth[/b]: March, 17th
[b]Hobby[/b]: Yosho enjoys helping others first and foremost, but his particular favorite way to do so is through hard labor, such as field work, or repairing homes and tools.
[b]House[/b]: Gobuken, formerly Asaiken
[spoiler='[b]Appearance[/b]']Yosho appears as a short, young man of European descent. It is obvious the boy looses much sleep by the fatigue and strain in his eyes. Despite this, there seems to be a burning passion behind the faded globes that stand as the windows to his soul. His hair is unkempt, to say the least, and even after just taking a bath, the boy seems to find a way to dirty himself while helping others. His clothing is...very nontraditional, to put it simply. He wears trousers, and a tunic, instead of the typical kimono. This seems to easily be in part due to the large sword over his back, which would require him to move and brace himself in ways a kimono might not accommodate. When armored, however, he prefers a very European style of armor--plates of sturdy metal, and interlocking chains. His frame is light and springy, but it seems like he does everything he can to weigh himself down. Simply put...the kid looks odd....[/spoiler]
[spoiler='[b]Personality[/b]']He is introverted, but not overly so. He prefers to keep to himself, but will not hesitate to help someone in need, which forms a major contradiction in his youthful mind. If it weren't for the heavy armor he prefers, he would make a good "benevolent ninja", swooping in and getting the job done, then disappearing before he is thanked and recognized. It isn't unlike him to take charge in dire times, but he prefers others to do it. Yosho dislikes, with a strong passion, dishonesty, especially when people are dishonest with themselves. He wants to protect others, and when others are harming themselves in foolish or unnecessary ways, it gets under Yosho's skin.[/spoiler]
[spoiler='[b]Bio[/b]']Yosho is an example of extreme perseverance and luck. He was born to a prostitute, from an English merchant traveling the trade route, practically condemning him to a life of ill-fortune and pain. However, Yosho, in his terrible state, was able to see the pain and suffering others had to endure. He could see the sin other people lived through, and could come to know and hate it personally, even from a young age. Because of this he grew to be a relentlessly helpful person.
--When his mother was "spirited away" in the night by what he was told her demons, he did not stop to grieve. Instead, he honored her memory like a man, and kept driving good deeds and ideals in whatever he did. Eventually, this came to be noticed by a dark party wishing to keep the sin and despair.
--While wandering the streets at night, a terrible habit for a child, a group of men came upon him and threatened him, demanding he stop his good works. Instead of buying in to their intimidation like a normal child would, Yosho immediately recognized that the men before him were evil. He could not accept such people, who would go as far as to tell a child to stop helping others, in his general area. Without warning, and very little dialog, Yosho attacked the full grown men with all his might. Yosho was thoroughly trounced.
--Before the men could do too much damage to him, however, he was rescued by a samurai who'd been observing the situation. The samurai benefactor had been sent to the area to investigate the possibility of Tsumimono in the area. In his patrol and hunting, he happened upon the suspicious men, speaking of assaulting a child and returning to their "master". Assuming that the men had already assaulted the child, Yosho, he tailed them, hoping to find the alleged "Master". Instead they came to Yosho, and were soon assaulted themselves by the young, virtuous soul.
--During Yosho's charge(Which was a spectacular blunder), the Samurai was able to sense a large amount of unharnessed virtue stemming from his young, pure soul. After the ordeal, Yosho was taken to a trustworthy clinic and watched by the patrols and other members of the temple to see if he would grow into a potential ally.
--Yosho not only grew, but he flew far beyond what was expected for someone of his caste. Soon after his attack, he sought out training in combat. He not only continued his work to help others, but worked even harder. The Clinic became his base of benevolent operations until he was eleven. It was then he was extended the offer to train under a sammurai for the purpose of helping others. The man could not even begin to explain the dangerous nature of his life before Yosho accepted and grabbed the few things he called "His".
--Because of just how ridiculous the boy was, Yosho was placed into the lowest ranked of the houses. His combat ability and discipline were lacking, and he couldn't control his own energy. Despite being reprimanded countless times, Yosho continued to work as hard as he possibly could to help others. Even if he couldn't control it, Yosho was like a limitless dynamo of virtuous energy. As soon as he gained some control, combat knowledge, and discipline, he was adopted by one of the Kurotsuki family, of the Gobuken house.
--The ladder seemed, and still seems, like a limitless climb for Yosho's burning heart. However, his body may give out before his mind has a chance to recognize the danger he poses to himself....[/spoiler]

[b][u]Combat Info[/u][/b]
[spoiler='Kigeki']
[spoiler='[b] Nightsplitter[/b]']A Long, thin katana. Larger than most, and certainly unorthodox for most traditional samurai. Nightsplitter's maker thought the sword would sit for centuries until Yosho came along and claimed the blade, stated: "I think she's the most restless one...." Nightsplitter has several faults, despite the expert craftsmanship. It is very long, and very thin, the same size as a normal Katana. Most swords and weapons of Nightsplitter's size are heavy and less keen, making them strong enough to topple horsemen and heavily armored foes. Nightsplitter is still a sharp, slashing blade meant for single opponents, despite its size.
---[b]Energy Displacement[/b][color="#FF0000"]**[/color]: Due to Nightsplitter's size, it cannot hold energy well, even if it can draw energy from its foes just as effectively as a normal katana. Its capacity for energy far exceeds other energy-drawing Kigeki for the same reason that it cannot hold energy. When in contact/cutting sinful energy, Nightsplitter rapidly draws it in, and burns it away into nothing. This literally "drains" an enemy of their strength and power, and even the will of a human to be evil(But getting cut in half usually prevents the human from continuing on to help others...)
---[b]Lust's Hunter[/b][color="#FF0000"]**[/color]: Nightsplitter seems to have a mind of its own, actively seeking out beings of Lust, using the Lustful energy it draws in to "tune" itself to them. The more power from lustful beings Nightsplitter has within it, the more sensitive it becomes to Lustful beings.[/spoiler]
[spoiler='[b]Hisui no Hitomi, Tsumugi no Tsubasa[/b]'] "Eyes of Jade, Wings of Ultramarine" Was the name given to this European breastplate. The Noble Knight who wore it, in his final blaze of glory when fighting alongside the samurai exploded with energy, his eyes engulfed in green flames, and a pair of dazzling blue feathered wings exploding from his back. The Knight died with honor against a powerful foe, and his armor was kept as a reminder of his honor. Yosho was given this armor because he had a large energy capacity, and a liking for heavy metal armor.
---[b]Hisui no Hitomi, Tsumugi no Tsubasa no Tenshi[/b][color="#FF0000"]*[/color][color="#FF8C00"]*[/color][color="#FFFF00"]*[/color][color="#2E8B57"]*[/color][color="#0000FF"]*[/color][color="#9932CC"]*[/color]: If Yosho ever masters the power of the armor, he might one day be able to assume the form of the "Angel of Jade Eyes, Blue Wings". In addition to making him fly, the increase of power is like adding +10 to all stat parameters, except Energy, which drains quickly.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler='[b]Sword Art Techniques[/b][color="#FF0000"]**[/color]']---Multi-Layer Spiritual Blade[color="#FF0000"]*[/color]: A primitive form of of energy harnessing, focusing Yosho's(Virtuous) energy into his blade to pack an extra punch. This is like adding a second cut, comprised solely of Yosho's energy to an attack. If Yosho becomes really good, he can add even more cuts, and even change the angle the cut might come from, as opposed to being along the same path as the sword.
---Multi-Layer Spiritual Blade, Type Two: This is exactly like Type one, except that it uses Nightsplitter's stored energy(Sinful) instead of Yosho's. Yosho wont be able to use this until he first learns to draw energy using Nightsplitter. [/spoiler]
[spoiler='Kibaku Techniques:[color="#FF0000"]**[/color]']
---[b]Energy Leak[/b][color="#FF0000"]*[/color]: This is more like a condition that Yosho needs to fix, rather than a special power. Yosho is constantly leaking out the horrendous amount of energy he produces because he cannot control it. This energy is completely harmly, because its virtuous energy! However, beings that feed on raw energy, or can sense Yosho's leaking energy have a serious advantage over Yosho. There is a benefit though! Those on Yosho's side who know how to harness his leaking energy can use it to help themselves!
---[b]Reinforcement[/b][color="#FF0000"]*[/color]: The first thing Yosho was taught when teaching him to harness spiritual energy was the ability to reinforce items and himself with the large amount of energy he has. He could make armor, or even himself stronger. The better he gets at this, the more versitile it becomes, from making things sharper, to making himself strong or faster.
---[b]Infinite Cut[/b][color="#FF0000"]*[/color][color="#FF8C00"]*[/color][color="#FFFF00"]*[/color][color="#2E8B57"]*[/color][color="#0000FF"]*[/color][color="#9932CC"]*[/color]: A Technique Yosho displays potential for. While it is most comonly used with a blade or some weapon, giving it the name "Infinite Cut", the ability comes from within a person, making it Kibaku, not Sword Art. From a technical standpoint, Yosho "Fills" every "Instance" from "Point A", his current location, to "Point B", his destination. The movement is instantaneous, light lightning, and a blade "dragged" through this space would be like a slice through the space between the two points. It can't cut through things the blade would normaly not be able to cut through. [/spoiler]

[i]Status Info[/i]: Yosho, despite all his heavy gear, replies on his spped an agility in combat, coming as a serious surprise to many when they find the young boy in heavy armor reacts more quickly than they do. He is not necessarily strong, but those who do manage to land a solid hit on him are further surprised to find just how well he takes it. The drawback is that his body is used to dodging and taking hits, and when he is hit with something he can't handle, it hits him hard. Also, his focus in dodging and blocking other attacks leaves him lacking in the offensive department.
--His potential for spiritual energy is breathtaking. He can contain and produce energy almost as well as a Samurai Teacher. His ability to harness said energy is...vomit inducing. He has little control over his power, and is always leaking out his own uncontrolled energy due to being unable to control it properly. If controlled properly his energy would be on par with Samurai Masters.

[color="#FF0000"]**[/color] = Yosho can't use anything marked with this...yet.
[color="#FF0000"]*[/color] = Except this!
[color="#FF0000"]*[/color][color="#FF8C00"]*[/color][color="#FFFF00"]*[/color][color="#2E8B57"]*[/color][color="#0000FF"]*[/color][color="#9932CC"]*[/color] = Yosho REALLY can't use this! He might never be able to!

Edit^2: Grr, The Bio got smushed. *Un-smushed!* I hope I didn't miss anything else -.-

[!Supra¡]

Note that it's called virtue energy and sin energy instead of virtuous energy or sinful energy. Also, samurai armor won't be available for use until later so you won't be able to use your armor yet. Finally, fix the details of the capacity of virtue energy that your character has because the way you described his amount of virtue energy is a bit too overpowering even though he can't control it. And I can only guess that later on he'll have control of it which will make rather too strong. Fix that problem and you're accepted

[Lexsuncion]

Okay, consider the armor on hold, still chillin' in a box/armory till later then. Virtuous/Sinful is just a re-wording to make it sound grammatically correct, beyond that, there's no difference. As for his energy, Right now he's no different than any other student when it comes to using his energy. To harness his energy and have a usable capacity like a samurai master, he'd have to pretty much be a samurai master. His Sword/Kibaku stats would have to match that of a [Rank] to be considered that of a [rank]. Basically, I understood the stat system like this:

[u]Energy[/u]: [i]Capacity/production of energy.[/i] -20- He has a lot of energy, and potential for energy.
[u]
Sword Art/Kibaku[/u]: [i]Using that energy to do something.[/i] -2/1- He is perhaps the worst of the worst when it comes to using energy.

So the Sword/Kibaku are very low. If 0 was a viable stat, I'd put a zero in Kibaku and a 1 in Sword Art. Learning to use the energy is the same as increasing one of those stats, which I assume is difficult. Sort of like having a high number, but it can only be used to the extent of the Stats that focus in the using, not the having.

[!Supra¡]

Alright I understand, I wasn't worried about the stat though I was just saying the way you describe your character's potential energy is rather too powerful, but as long as you don't godmod then it's cool with me. And the virtue and sin energy, yeah, keep it like that not virtuous or sinful energy. I purposedly name those energies that way and I've already taken into account that if you call them virtuous and sinful it does sound more grammatically correct, but I purposedly named them virute energy and sin energy so you must refer to them as so. And yes, zero is a viable number to use in the stats.

Anyways, just follow what I said and we're good. Anyways accepted. I'm planning to have you as a student already in Hishirimi Temple and I guess you can start in the RP by meeting with Asutomu Sensei, the kibaku teacher. I also recommend reading the other posts, but it's optional since that things that have happened doesn't affect your character.
