[spoiler='App : Shino'][b]Name:[/b] Haruto Shinobu Hayashi
[b]Nickname[/b]: Shino
[b]Age[/b]: 23

[b]Alliance: [/b]Rebels

[b]Appearance:[/b] A young man with wild black hair, that never seems to be in the correct place. The last barber that tried to give him a hair cut lost his neck; the scissor wielding barber gave Shino the idea that he was trying to kill him. He wears a long overcoat that has become black with the passage of time and years of practice of staying dirty. Shino is 6'3" but seems overweight for his voluminous cloak.

[b]Personality:[/b] Shino has a big problem with trusting other human beings. Animals for him are much better. He stays grim almost to point of appearing to be mourning. In his good mood, he would rather have a good gulp of sake and have a fight, than to enjoy the earthly pleasures of the "geisha". [size=2][color=#ff0000]should i delete this part ?[/color][/size]
Bio: Shino has never gotten to know his parents. From what he heard from the people frowning at him and spewing abuse, he was the product of the invading the Japanese samurai who had taken liberty with his mother of Korean decent. As he grew up in the Korean land, he was neither loved nor did he feel that emotion of the weaklings around him. All he cared for was the old mystic by the hill temple, who taught him the ways of the sword and of the ways how to use it to protect someone. Yet one day, he saw the old man getting stabbed while he went to fetch water from him.
The attackers were apparently royalty who deemed that the mystic needed to pay them money for staying on their lands. The 3 rogues were quickly disarmed with some quick swordsmanship, which they stood no chance. they prayed that he have mercy and not kill them. THIS Shino did approve. they died after 6 hours when all the blood had oozed out of their body, through the cut at the soles of their feet and palms. they screaming people had fallen awfully quite after the first 3 hours of the ordeal.
After this "gruesome" incident, and several hundred kills later, there finally came a time when he was forced out of the Korean peninsula. It was the land of the morning sun from that point on...

[b]Weapons:[/b] Katana and a hunting knife.
[b]Abilities:[/b]
[i]Hone yoroi[/i] (骨鎧 ,Bone Armour) Shino is able to generate a strong piece of armour that apparently grows out of his own skeletal structure.
[i]Cloud of poison[/i] ( 毒の雲, Poison Cloud) When Shino's subconscious comes to the realization that he is getting overpowered, his sword's scabbard starts releasing poison cloud all around him. Shino is unaffected by this, though the flowers and leaves all around him seems to die, such powerful is the poison. His hunting knife then turns green and is very poisonous.
[b]Weapon Transformation:[/b] On Transforming, the Katana and the hunting knife turns green, the hilt of both these weapons starts releasing poison in the atmosphere. In this stage, of transformation, Shino can create innumerable serpent wards at his wish.. These wards spit venom at all enemy targets, but are beyond the control of Shino, though since he is harmless, he remains unaffected. ([color=#ff0000][size=2]Shikai ?[/size][/color])

[b]Name:[/b] Koru Reikishi
[b]Nickname:[/b] The Phantom
[b]Age:[/b] 28
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/224/7/d/everything_has_a_beginning____by_blackhole87-d46b9tr.jpg[/img]
[b]Personality:[/b] Easily passed off as a cocky personnel, but he actually has experience to back up his ego. Koru has always had a strong hatred for Gandrake Akamichi, but now that both his favourite girlfriends had been slain by the man's goons, he vows to have the man's head on a silver platter for everyone to see. Whether this is from true anger or if it's just another of Koru's usual boasts is unknown. However, although he'll vehemently refuse to admit it to anyone, he has a fear deep inside his heart that can be seen in his eyes once every so often. What he fears is that he may inevitably lose his sanity, and that people will see him as a monster.
[b]Bio:[/b] Gandrake Akamichi had always been a foe in Koru Reikishi's book, but since Koru's two favourite girlfriends have been murdered by Gandrake's cronies, things were starting to get personal. At that time, all Koru could think about was exacting revenge on that bastard, and he was willing to pay any price to do so... at first. By the time he really took the time to think this whole ordeal and its costs through, it was too late; he'd already agreed to sacrifice his soul in order to receive powers that would aim him in defeating Gandrake. Now though, after Koru saw his own reflection in his 'shadow golem' form, he felt a surge of fear for the first time since he trained to become a samurai in the first place. But it wasn't a fear that Koru could die. It was a fear that Koru could lose his sanity, and turn against the very people that he sought to protect. And if they couldn't see him as a monster that could take over Gandrake's tyranny [i]before[/i] that stage, they could very well see it [i]during[/i] or [i]after[/i] that stage. All Kuro knows now is that his sanity is on the line, and that he must keep it under control at all times, no matter what kind of breaking point he'd be put to exceed. Because for the sake of everyone around him, he'd hate to see out of control.
[b]Weapons:[/b] Koru only has a simple katana that is seathed in his right hip, and withdrawn with his right hand. However, if that katana is knocked to the ground or whatever, he [i]will[/i] decide to punch his enemies with his left-hand gauntlet instead.
[b]Abilities:[/b] Ninjitsu Arts of the Shadows, which Koru has his own hand signals for. Currently he can:
Perform mind control (playable characters will have a resistance to the mind control, just to be fair)
Switch his body's location with that of another character's body before they realize it
Control dark energy, that can be used to either fire shots, beams or blasts of dark energy or create a barrier of dark energy to shield himself from attacks (the barrier normally lasts for 3 posts, but can be destroyed instantly with powerful attacks)
Completely redirect projectiles' paths of flight
[b]Weapon Transformation:[/b] (You're lucky I actually know what transformation [i]is[/i], 'cause I have no idea what Bleach is nor do I have any idea what the hell actually goes on in said show, but anyway...) Whenever Koru's inner rage gets to a high enough level, his entire body is enveloped in a dark aura, before he transforms into a golem made entirely of darkness. The left arm of this 'shadow golem' that Koru transforms into seems normal, but the right forearm transforms into a blade that's capable of separating the very cells that hold our bodies together. In addition, attacks will only go straight through Koru while he's in his 'shadow golem' form, although he [i]will[/i] still feel the pain and effects of the more powerful magic attacks launched at him.

[b]Name: [/b][color=#FF0000]Douglas Grey[/color]

[b]Nickname:[/b] Sure Shot


[b]Age:[/b] 26


[b]Appearance:[/b] 5'11", with black hair and hazel eyes. He wears an old WWII Pilots jacket and blue jeans. He wears transition lenses on his glasses. He has two holsters around his waist, and has the Launcher[See weapons] strapped to his back. He almost always holds his sword, keeping it over his shoulder. In the few times he DOES put his sword down, he will magnetize it using ELECTRONS [See Abilities], allowing it to stick to the Launcher across his back.

[b]Personality:[/b] A cheery, upbeat fellow, who is very protective of those he likes. A bit short tempered, he is liable to snap at you even if it's just a small insult. He overreacts about the smallest things, but will get over them moments later. He tries to never be depressed, even if everything in his life is falling apart around him. His motto is "There is no use in sulking about life's shortcomings. Buck up, and move on."


[b]Bio:[/b] Born in a small town in California, Doug lived his early life as a shut in, never leaving his house for more then going to school. He never had many friends, and was constantly picked on. But, as he grew older, he met a boy who would forever change his life. His name was Zachary. They became friends fast, as they both shared similar circumstances. Parents died while young, abusive adoptive parents, and a long history of being bullied. And yet, this other boy was not even close to being a shut in. He was happy, cheerful, always looking at the bright side of the situation. Doug looked up to that, and soon began to follow his example. One day, Zach invited Doug to begin taking sword lessons, in which he ended up being a fast learner. He was soon able to defeat his instructor in honorable combat. As well as sword fighting, he and his friend took shooting lessons as well. These two hobbies greatly interested him, and were made the focus of his life. At the age of 20, he became known as one of the best Swordsman and Sharpshooter in America.


At 23, he began the life of a Private eye, uses his skills to keep him safe in the all too dangerous situations he encounters. He learned a strong sense of honor from his old instructor, which he applied to his line of work. He remained a bachelor, never marrying. Or dating, for that matter. At 26, he was invited to the tourney, and he accepted the invitation immediately. Upon receiving word that, while AT the tourney, Zach had been taken hostage, Douglas was infuriated. He immediately declined the offer to join Gandrake, remembering what his instructor taught him, and knowing that Zachary would do the same thing. He then committed his life to defeating Gandrake, and avenging the death of his life long friend.

[b]Weapons:[/b] His custom made White Hardened Steel Long Sword with a Green, Blue, and Yellow hilt. A Sword launcher, able to fire his sword with a chain on its hilt at a distance of 500 Yards max. He has many option of using it. He can either keep the sword in the launcher, slicing and dicing, or he can use it to pull himself at objects, whether it’s a side of a building or an enemy. Two PM-63 RAK Self Loading Pistols / Fully Automatic Submachine Guns ( [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PM-63_RAK"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PM-63_RAK[/url] ).

[b]Abilities:[/b] REDUCED RECOIL (Passive ability): He tenses up the muscles in his arms, letting him fire one of his PM63s with only one hand, and extreme precision (As much as a PM-63 will give you, at least).

ELECTRON CURRENT (Passive ability): Gives him the ability to control electrons, letting him move metal objects with ease, or launch them at high speed. i.e., I have this metal ball in my hand. I point it at you, and launch it at Mach 10. Oh, look, there is now a crater there. After enough use, the electrons will run low, and he must wait for them to regenerate. It has 4 levels of power, as shown below.

COILGUN: He holds the object in his hand, holding his arm straight out. The lowest power level, and only capable of firing small metal objects, it is capable of causing anything as large as a van to tumble backwards a few feet. Used for Anti-Personal or Pinpoint Hits. Uses 25% power.

GAUSS: He holds his hand out in the same way, except his left hand is holding his right arm, channeling more power. Because of this, anything as large as a bowling ball can be lifted magnetically, letting him use it as ammunition. If fired at a large van, the van will be pulverized, leaving almost nothing behind, and the projectile will still make a mark on anything behind it. Speed is so fast, the projectile ends up looking like a fireball. Used for Anti-Vehicle. Uses 50% power. Leaves him tired.

RAILGUN: He holds both his arms out, forming a makeshift rail. Objects are fired from between this rail. Anything as large as a Car engine can be used as ammo, but no smaller then a car engine, because it will burn up if fired. If fired at a large van, it will wipe the van off the face of the planet. And then some. It will create a crater the size OF a large van in the wall of a building AFTER getting fired at the van. Speed is so fast, the projectile ends up looking like a fireball. It will also cause an explosion upon impact of a strong enough object. Used for Anti-Vehicle and Anti-Structure. Uses 75% power. Leaves him exhausted. Not ready for combat after using.

MAGNETIC ACCELERATOR: He grips an object no smaller or larger than an M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, and throws it up in the air. He attracts himself to it, holding him and the object in midair. He aims at his target, and channels as much power as he can to launch it. If fired at a tank, it will wipe it out. Along with the entire parking complex behind it. Speed is so fast, the projectile ends up looking like a fireball. It will also cause an explosion. The crater created by this varies, averaging about half the size of a football field. Uses 100% percent power. RARELY USED BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING. 80% chance of severe burns, 60% chance of backfire, 75% chance of heart stopping, 50% chance of body not jump starting itself, thus, 50% chance of death. If used, and none of these happen, he will go into a stasis shock for 1 hour to rejuvenate.

ELECTRON CUSHION: Has to be used before any of the 4 abilities above can be used, because he will be launched backwards otherwise.

AMMO REGENERATE (Passive ability): Never stop shooting. xD

HIGH JUMP: Able to jump 3 stories into the air, preventing fracture of legs by creating an Electron cushion beneath him.

[b]Weapon Transformation:[/b] GUNBLADE: Combines his Sword and two pistols into one, with 1 PM-63 on each side of the blade. Uses parts from the Sword Launcher to increase power of the guns. Can be separated back to 4 separate weapons.

[b]Fighting Style:[/b] In most typical cases, Doug will swing his sword with one hand and unleash a hail of bullets with his other. Sometimes, he will Dual Wield the PM-63s, sticking his sword to the launcher. He might also holster both guns and go sword only. Depends on his mood. He typically stands still, allowing him to get a clear shot with his gun, striking with his sword or defending if they get near. However, he will just as often rush towards his foe, striking with quick melee attacks, either striking his foe down, or looking for openings to fill him full of lead. He also will launch his sword at the wall, sticking it there, allowing him to hang to the wall, raining down bullets.

Any questions? Any conflictions you see that I don't? Anything that is too far fetched for you? Anything you want me to remove?

[EDITED, because I can]

Yeah, but if you read the plot...Gandrake gives the combatants a choice serve him, or let their loved ones die and then them die too(didn't tell the last part of option two, but it was obvious)

The few swordsmen that choose option 2 escape the arena and hide themselves somewhere in Machina City. Then fight all around the city...
