Kensei

Post by Kyosuke »

Name: Kensei

Gender: Male

Race: Half Angel/Demon

Job Class: Fighter

Appearance: Kensei looks like he is only 20, but he is actually about 1000 since he cannot die of old age through both his divine and demonic racial traits. He has black hair, his bangs falling down to right past his nose in long triangular clumps of hair. His eyes are green, and seem to be ice cold. His face is usually expressionless, matching his usual emotionless state. He has a lean build with well developed muscles and is 5' 10" tall. He wears an untucked black, long sleeved Chinese-styled shirt, the Chinese knot buttons buttoned all the way up, and a pair of loose black pants. Under his Chinese styled shirt is a pair of magical forearm bracers. They do not look like plated bracers, but seem like it is melted right onto his arm, giving off an almost liquid appearance, despite being solid. When he wishes to, the bracers extend out to cover his hand like a pair of fingerless gloves. He has a pair of large angel wings on his back, an indication of both his demonic and divine heritage. However, seeing as it would be very troublesome to keep them out, Kensei usually keeps them hidden.

Weakness: A strong magic user would be somewhat effective against Kensei, and even then he can take a good amount of punishment before falling. Arrows will sometimes hit him when they are shot out of his range of sight, but there is a likely possibility that his danger sense would kick in and he would catch the arrow. In both cases, Kensei can still be overwhelmed by the attacks, but hey may still find a way around it. However there is a part of him that few know. Because of the conflicting nature of his blood, his body is always in a warring state against itself. The demonic blood is always fighting against the angelic blood inside of him. In the daytime, his strong will keeps this conflict suppressed, however, when he relaxes his will to sleep at night, the conflict begins. For two hours a night, nothing, absolutely nothing, will wake him up. Even if a danger that he would normally sense approaches, it will not wake him. If he chooses to skip a night of sleep, the time actually increases exponentially, not adding. If he stays awake for two days, he has a conflict of 4 hours, for three days, it becomes eight hours, four days, it becomes sixteen hours, and so on. Also, if he chooses to stop the suppression of his blood in order to prevent those 2 hours of complete unconciousness, he is inflicted by pains the whole day. Depending on how long he has been awake, the pain will get worse. Despite being immortal to time, Kensei can still die from wounds and poisons.

Biography: Kensei was born through the forbidden union of an angel and a demon; that much he knows for certain. He was abandoned at birth in Ongoreth, and was discovered by a lonely ronin who raised him and taught him the basics of kenjutsu. The two soon discovered that the young Kensei was a combat and weapons genius. He mastered the katana in a couple of years and then moved on to learning Nittou Ryu with the wakizashi and katana. Soon after he mastered that, he moved on to the other weapons that Ongoreth specialized in. Both Kensei and the ronin realized that the young half demonic half angelic boy had a thirst for the knowledge pertaining to combat. He also learned the weaponless arts that the island had. When Kensei managed to learn every martial art known to the people of Ongoreth, he was in his eighties and the ronin had died content in raising such a man. Despite being in his eighties, Kensei 's appearance had stopped aging at twenty. He mourned for a little bit for the loss of his best friend and father figure, but moved onto the mainland of Heirot to learn more weapons and styles of combat. This man with conflicting bloods finally finished his quest for knowledge when he reached the age of two hundred or so. By then he had found that even without the training in a weapon, his genius would allow him to adapt to knew weapons using the knowledge of similar weapons to his advantage. He set out to put his knowledge to use and to test his actual capability in the usage of the knowledge. Kensei started to fight stronger and stronger people, just trying to make himself stronger. He found himself matching his own weapon to his opponent's, to see whether he could surpass a person whose weapon of choice was being matched. Despite the fact that he had defeated them, he did not kill the people he challenged, or the ones he was challenged, by on purpose. He wished for them to get stronger so that he would be able to challenge them again. At this point in his life, he is already satisfied with his strength. However, he continues to live for the fight. He still travels around in order to find some stronger people to fight, but does not challenge as many people as he used to. Kensei does not know who his natural parents are, nor does he care to find out.

Extras: Kensei has trained for most of his long life. That training, as well as his heritage, has given him great physical strength. Most melee fighters are almost useless against him. He is able to sense when someone is strong or not, most likely due to his experience as well as his usage of chi, which is far beyond the possible usage of a mortal because of the length of his life. He also has the ability to create a pocket dimension. He uses this pocket dimension to store all of his weapons, seeing as he has mastered and encountered so many in his long life span, he needs to have a place like that. Despite the possible combat advantages to such a thing, he cannot use it for that purpose. Opening the portal takes a minute of concentration. It does not get any quicker whether he concentrates more or not, however it can be slowed down through distracted concentration. Kensei has lost many of his emotions because of the discipline training he has gone through in the years. Anger and sadness no longer have a place in his mind. He still has his remaining emotions, but he doesn't experience it very often. His face is almost always in a serious state, not revealing too much. He lives for the fight, but he also has another thing he wishes to live for. He wishes to be able to find some friends again. Some companions that he would be able to help and fight for as well. That is another reason to his wandering the world. He has not had a close friend ever since the ronin had died. He is extremely loyal to his friends and has a strong sense of justice. If his friends may stray completely off such a path and started to act in a despicable manner, he would not hesitate to voice his feelings on such a manner. He ignores any person who may annoy him, brushing off stupid or annoying behavior in that manner. Despite his strength, he usually holds back a lot so he can enjoy the fight more and despite his love for fights, he will not fight if he sees no meaning in it or if he sees the person is weak. Also, his wings, due to his demonic nature, can resist much abuse before anything would seriously hurt it despite the softness of the feathers. Diseases can affect him but if he sleeps for a night or goes through a day of pain from removing the suppression on his angel and demon blood then the disease will die.
