W.I.P. [Hider] [b]Name:[/b] Lee Hikoshiro [b]Age:[/b] Fifteen [CENTER][img]http://i.imgur.com/iIDrNwQ.jpg[/img][/CENTER] [b]Bio:[/b] Long ago, the Hikoshiro household was renowned throughout the land for their exceptional skill in sword crafting. Their abilities were second to none and the blades they produced were of top quality. The reputation they garnered not only stirred up curiosity among the public, but also envy and ill-will from their rivals. What couldn't be solved with bribery and petty threats, was swiftly dealt with by bloodshed. As quickly as they appeared, the once proud Hikoshiro clan was no more. Or at least, that's what most had thought. Those who had survived chose to live in seclusion, hoping that a prodigy would appear to restore their clan's former glory. Years had passed and as they wished, they were blessed with a genius. Lee was without a doubt gifted; a diamond in the rough whose potential was still miles from being reached. However, what most had considered a talent was eventually treated as a curse by Lee. The repercussions that came with the use of his ability and the burden he had shoulder, all of it was too much for him to handle. His passion for smithing was something he previously embraced, but with time, grew to despise it. Now carefree and outspoken, he tends to neglect the whims of his family and does what he pleases. News of the Seishun Academy of Swords came rather late to their household, but they knew that this was their last chance to rekindle whatever spark that was left in Lee. The only issue about this idea was Lee's willingness to actually listen to his family. Suprsingly, he had not qualms in accepting his parents' request. For him, it was merely a decision between living the remainder of his life confined within the mountains or leaving home. Clearly, Lee was aware on what the better choice was. [b]Specialty:[/b] [List][*][b]Soul Forge[/b] - Lee has the capability to enter a trance-like state where his mind and body becomes completely attuned to his skills in sword crafting. When used, Lee's hair turns pale grey while his eyes become featureless white irides with his pupils no longer visible. The pre-requisites of using this ability include prior knowledge to what he would create, the concepts behind it (either concrete and/or abstract) and the materials needed to create it. During this state, all Lee's focus is directed towards crafting. He becomes non-receptive to any form of stimuli and only regains his senses upon finishing whatever he had started; things such as fatigue and hunger usually take their toll on Lee during this time. [*][b]First Aid[/b] - Lee tends to suffer from a myriad of injuries and conditions after he uses his ability. The need to rely on others to tend to his wounds was becoming irksome, so he was forced to learn to do it by himself.[/List][/Hider]
