Ishin looked in to the cracked mirror of the Dining Halls holding area. Reflected back he saw a man, tall and dressed in a simple sleeveless vest. The red hair, pushed back by a hand and held there by a combination of sweat and water. A sick grin split the mans face like a wound that wouldn't heal. The man's eyes were black, two pinpricks of red staring back at him. Ishin was a Ghoul. A hunter. A devourer. A monster. One of the things that go bump in the night. A warning message for bad little humans. 

And he loved it.

Ishin pushed away from the mirror and found his mask, sliding it on to hide his face. He wrapped scarlet bandages around his neck to hide the easily noticeable tattoos he had. Under the mask the grin widened as the doors to the Dining Hall opened. His stage...his crowd was waiting. Launching himself down the hallway, the stained glass kagune of his burst from his shoulders. Two magnificent wings of liquid RC cells, sending him hurtling into air and left him momentarily above the arena floor. The crowd looked to the arena, Ishin acting as a slight distraction from their meal. The crowd cheered. 

"Hailing from right here in Ward 8...The Terror of the Ward, The Graceful Beast, Public Enemy number 1, 2 and 3...so say the Doves...Savage!" The announcer growled to the crowd.

Ishin dropped to the ground and stood silent, arms crossed and Kagune solidifying into their wings. The other combatant raged into the arena, all muscle and rage and anger balled up into a slight figure. The slight figured rippled suddenly as his Bikaku ripped into existence. His opponent had a mask resembling a shark, his Bikaku also resembled a sharks tail. Ishin tapped the chin of his mask and shrugged. The crowd quitened, the soft wet noise of flesh being eaten the only sound in the arena. Ishin spread his arms out and his wings closed together, sending out a volley of jagged shards at Shark. Shark rolled quickly out of the way and came barreling down at Ishin. They collided. All muscle and brute force behind Shark, Ishin adapted. His second kagune burst forward, wrapping his arm and forming sickly jagged blades. Ishin dug both into his opponent's shoulders and grinned. Breaking the locked hands with some force, Ishin pushed off the ground and flipped over Sharks head. Keeping the blades in, he pulled his arms and sent Shark flying into the opposite wall. Ishin howled and leapt into the air, following sharks trajectory. His blades struck home, one entering the mans stomach. 

"WHO WANTS TO SEE WHAT A SHARK EATS?" Ishin howled as he grabbed the shark ghoul and lifted him over his head. The blade in his stomach violently ripped a hole in the man's flesh and parts of his lower intestine spilled to the floor. Ishin had satisfied his bloodlust for tonight. Leaving a ghoul disemboweled was another days work. His kagune fell away as he walked back down into the holding areas.

Showering most of the blood off, Ishin collected his gear and headed out of the Dining hall. It was late. He needed to head back to Dark Nights, make sure all was running smoothly.
