Hiroyuki is a very quiet person who rarely speaks and usually talks through moving his hands he only truly talks when needed or if he actually aligned with someone. Hiroyuki is a monster his eye's glow with an eerie sense illuminating the darkened road. Hiroyuki is a natural born killer; he kills the weak and plays with the strong as if it were one big game to him. Hiroyuki is a killing machine and nothing in his way will ever stop him. Hiroyuki appears to be a laid-back and irreverent individual at first glance, but this scruffy exterior hides a brutal, impulsive, excessively-violent personality and an unstable mind. Hiroyuki is blunt, sarcastic, and quite sadistic, revealing a psychotic grin when he is fighting or killing somebody. He believes that death is the only salvation. [u][b]History[/b][/u]: For Mature Audiences only. [spoiler] Before his story can be told, we must first look to the roots of where Hiroyuki has come from. During Feudal Times Hiroyuki's mother was the first Daughter of the Leading Shogun at the time. She had the perfect upbringing she was rich beautiful and was in power. People all over the land adored her from afar and her father. While her father controlled the Samurai she was more of a recluse and spent her days inside the house learning to sow and clean. She would one day be the model housewife every strong man needed when they wed. Although she was the shogun's daughter and was well respected she also had enemies and stalkers of her own. Completely oblivious to the fact that people outside her father's authority were deranged and twisted she never bothered to protect herself. Of course, she had guards every inch of their estate, but when she went shopping she'd sneak out or tells the guards to wait for her then, never come back. Soon, her rebellious actions would catch up to her, introducing Hiroyuki's soon to be father. By now, her father had already planned her wedding since he had met with a nobleman from the neighboring country. She was set to marry a powerful Samurai from the next land over, it seemed her life had already been planned out and relatively complete. Unfortunately, her actions would lead yo her downfall, as she escaped the clutches of her guards she went shopping in the streets soon she would be far out of reach of the kingdom and in the area that the poverty thrived in. Thief's, rapists, and homeless people lived in these broken and run down areas. Yet, she thought nothing of it and enjoyed the scenery past the area. One man had been stalking her from the shadows growing heated and aroused with each passing second, her beauty was no match for his animal like needs. So, with that the man lunged out from the shadowy alley and grabbed her into the alley covering her mouth with one hand and her arms with the other. Within a few seconds he had totally dragged her to a vacant unpopulated area. She began to tear as he let go of her mouth and began hitting her as he ripped away at her robes. By now she was naked with nothing left but her socks and sandals, the man was dirty and rugged he hadn't showered in days or shaved for that matter he was barbaric and strong. Now was time to quench his needs, the man lowered his trousers and forcibly penetrated the Shogun's daughter. A groan of pleasure and ferocity left his mouth as a whimper of terror left hers; tears trailed down her face as she was powerless to the assault of her captor. Faster and harder the man went as he became more savage, he clenched on her pale beautiful skin as he howled like a wildebeest slapping and groping every part of skin he could manage. What should feel like seconds felt like hours of torture to the royal daughter, and that's when she whimpered the most, the barbaric man had unloaded his demonic seed into her pure body spoiling her cherished temple of a body. He left her wallowing in her own self-pity as she was now tainted by the tall muscular man with widowed black hair. She had been defeated; no more tears ran out of her eyes, as she cried whatever she had left away. Collapsed she fell asleep from the terror of it all. Hours later the shogun's personal guard found her, horrified they quickly picked her up and sent a small group of men to return her to the Shogun's presence. The others stayed in the area and massacred all the people who bore witness to the rape and had done nothing about it; even if they were innocent they were merciless on their onslaught. It was a massacre blood had been splattered on every surface, bodies had been cold and motionless, limbs had been severed and placed across the land. Back at the kingdom the shogun had been devastated and infuriated by what had happened to his beloved daughter. His actions were clear no one would learn or speak of this to anyone or they shall face the wrath and consequences from the shogun himself. Fast forward a few months, the few months that have been entailed had been a harsh time on her life. Her perfect life seemed to be ruined by her ignorance, but things had gotten even worse, she was pregnant with the child of her rapist. There was nothing more demeaning and humiliating then to have to bare the tainted child of her attacker, her father had lost all respect and had banished her from his sight she had been disowned by her own father who had cared for her since she was a child. In his eyes now she was a monster and a freak. She was lost in a spiral of depression, it wasn't her decision to be raped she couldn't have fought off such a huge man. Her reputation within the kingdom was smudged her presence wasn't welcomed people strayed from her and whispered to each other as she passed. The worst is when people cursed at her and threw objects varying from fruit to pans. She found herself in the place she expected to visit, the slums of the kingdom in which she had been raped. Memories played back and burned themselves into her brain, every night she cried and contemplated ending her life. The only thing that got her through now was alcohol. Months passed and it was time for her to give birth, she was assisted by the other women who had raised children in the slums she lived in now. Screams, curses, and tears filled the atmosphere as she pushed the baby through her reproductive organ. And with a final push came Hiroyuki a bloody naked baby attached to her mother still. The elderly women cut the umbilical cord and handed her the young Hiroyuki, but there was no love only hate as he put her through suffering in hell. Instead, the elderly women took care of him as his mother recovered. Three years passed and Hiroyuki was now a healthy four year old boy, but his life was far from what his mother's was when growing up, she neglected him and never even spoke to Hiroyuki. No, Hiroyuki had to learn to survive for himself, he ate bugs and any dead animals he found and used the bathroom in forests and barely showered. A young boy shouldn't be doing any of these things, but the only thing on his mind was why his mother hated him so. All Hiroyuki ever wanted was affection ad love from his mother, all he got in return was hate and beatings. His mother had become a full on alcoholic getting drunk every second of the day until she couldn't speak a word or even move, all their income went to booze and cigarettes. The two always went to his mother and only ended up back to Hiroyuki in the form of punishment. Throughout his whole adolescence his mother punished him physically him with anything she could grab onto when she was intoxicated be it, belts, sticks, broken glass. However, Hiroyuki took the punishment and stayed quiet the entire time since he knew if he spoke only more pain would come from it. Although, she was violent when she drank Hiroyuki hated when she smoked even more. For when she smoked she used to use Hiroyuki as an ashtray and put out her cigarettes on Hiroyuki's skin. Countless, burn marks could be found on his skin almost like he put them there himself as a design or a tattoo. She absolutely hated Hiroyuki he was the scapegoat and source of her depression and anger, she just wanted him dead. Hiroyuki always went to bed quietly crying to himself as he knew his mother would never love him, for he was a child who could never be loved. Nine years passed and Hiroyuki was now a teenager and had already gone through puberty, he had begun to develop the traits from each of his parents, he had adopted his widowed black hair from his father, his father's eyes, and his father's body. Everything else he had inherited from his mother, but growing up came with a price, his mother saw her rapist more and more in Hiroyuki with every passing day, she couldn't take it and became more stressed out every day. Eventually, she couldn't take it and Hiroyuki still couldn't figure out why she hated him. That night Hiroyuki's mother had drank herself into a rage and began hitting Hiroyuki in her rage she began spouting out information on the rape and how Hiroyuki had come to be. He had finally pieced everything together and in his own mix of sorrow and rage he lost all self-control and attacked his mother. The scuffle went on for minutes until Hiroyuki came to. He looked down and saw blood on his hands as he located his mother beaten in a corner. Hiroyuki cried in an attempt to apologize, but as he drew close to her all she would scream was “MONSTER!!!!” or “GET AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER” or “YOUR JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER!” Hiroyuki was forced to leave he was evicted from his house. He ran as fast as he could into the forest where he could be alone and cry since no one could hear him, he was familiar with this feeling as he experienced it time and time before it welcomed him. Hiroyuki cried himself to sleep, when he awoke he walked back to his house wondering if his mom would speak to him or just beat him for last night, but he was wrong both answer were incorrect. His mother had killed herself she committed suicide by tying a rope to the fan and kicking the chair below her. She just hung there lifeless, that's when Hiroyuki became unbalanced his mind had warped itself into a devoid mind with nothing but hate, his heart had been destroyed and left behind a boy once riddled with joy and prosperity. Soon after, Hiroyuki left his village and vanished into thin air. From then on he bowed to seek revenge on his village and kill the Shogun who ruined his mother and robbed his childhood. Where did he go you might ask? Hiroyuki went from town to town becoming a small time thief as he stole food for himself so he could survive; he also killed animals in his spare time as a hobby since he loved the rush of feasting on the weak. Some might say Hiroyuki was tuning into his father all over again. One day Hiroyuki decided to steal from a shady old looking man who had a Samurai Sword in his possession, he knew this old man would be quite wealthy and not as fast as he. But he was wrong upon trying to steal from the old man he was quickly caught and thrown to the ground with a steel blade pointed at his throat. Would his life end there? Luckily for him the Samurai let him go, but took quite an interest in Hiroyuki it was an odd fascination as they had both just met for the first time. The Samurai proposed an offer to Hiroyuki, he would teach him the way of the sword if in return he befriended the old man. Unwillingly Hiroyuki accepted, all he wanted to do was learn how to kill and master a katana. At first Hiroyuki was rebellious and selfish not wanting to cooperate with the old man, but the old man was as tough and as strict as ever he drove Hiroyuki to insane limits breaking the barrier of a normal teenagers body. But something was odd Hiroyuki could feel it, the old man didn't sit right with him, Hiroyuki simply ignored it and kept going on with his training. Five years had passed and Hiroyuki was now a full-fledged adult and his bond with his Master Ronin had become an actual pupil master relationship for the first time in years Hiroyuki had never felt so close to someone he almost felt human again. Training went on with each passing month as Hiroyuki became stronger, faster, tenacious and his swordsmanship also began to reflect from years of training. Even his Master admitted he would soon not be able to teach him anything. Five years later Hiroyuki was prepared for his final test as he would graduate from his Master's training. Curious to know what his final test was Hiroyuki waited anxiously. The old man spoke to Hiroyuki and explained to him that he was his son and he was the one who had raped his mother and planted his seed into the Royal Daughter. He went on saying how he had never expected for her to give birth to a male child that would look exactly like him in most aspects. And, he finished by saying after he raped her he left to become a Samurai eventually leaving after becoming a Legendary Samurai and becoming a Ronin and Hiroyuki's final test was to kill him to relieve him of his sins. The hatred breed deep inside Hiroyuki and manifested into a pit of darkness he had felt betrayed and used, Hiroyuki had only caught in his mind that this man before him was his mother's rapist the rest of what he spoke hadn't phased Hiroyuki, no all he wanted was revenge it became apparent to him that he would never be loved by anyone and the only release is death. Hiroyuki drew his blade as well as his father he stared him down one last time before he let out all his hate and rage. It was just as his master said his skills would be no match for a younger stronger and brighter student than his own son. Quickly overpowered Hiroyuki disarmed his father and impaled him with his own blade. Hiroyuki came to and he watched as his blade had sunken deep into his father, but his father simply smiled and held Hiroyuki close to him as he whispered his ear “Thank you” before passing on. Hiroyuki had been rushed with memories as he dropped to his knees crying like the time after he was banished by his mother but he wasn't crying he was in fact laughing as he clawed at his face while the blood washed down his robes. Hiroyuki was nothing more than a soul of hatred bound to this plain of existence. But his path of retribution was not over yet, Hiroyuki returned to the village where he was raised and where his father raped his mother, but nor to visit her burial, but something more disturbed. Hiroyuki was there to kill the Shogun and all of his men. There was something different about Hiroyuki now, he had adopted a white skull mask and a white robe he was the embodiment of death. Hiroyuki began his onslaught by targeting each individual Dojo and cutting down everyone who opposed him, it was an unforgettable sight with each Dojo came more bloodshed and more mutilated bodies, by now Hiroyuki's robe had been stained blood red, but he had only just begun. Making his way through the Dojo's he confronted the Shogun's guard and defeated each and every one of his personal guard one by one. By now the Shogun was terrified and had locked himself in his quarters only guided by the screams outside his office, but everything fell silent. That's when Hiroyuki made his appearance in front of the Shogun; his walk was slow and casual as his blade dripped blood as he drew closer. The Shogun had been frozen stone by his fear all he could do was gasp and try to put together a sentence. Hiroyuki pointed his sword straight at the Shogun, all he could say was “Who....are...you....?!” Hiroyuki removed his mask with his free hand showing his face, his eyes exploded open, glowing their demonic aura revealing his tortured past. The Shogun realized who he was now and with a deep gasp he screamed “THOSE EYES!! YOU’RE A MONSTER!!!” and with that Hiroyuki glared at the Shogun with his glowing eyes before cutting him down in one swift movement. Hiroyuki dropped his blade and walked over the dead Shogun's body he looked at the Shogun's sword mounted on its case and Hiroyuki took it as his trophy the sword had been crafted out of obsidian and had a lotus as the guard, when Hiroyuki unsheathed the blade he looked at the steel, but the steel quickly turned dark purple as his tainted soul had marked the sword as his. Seven years has passed and Hiroyuki has strengthened his skill as he collects more knowledge of the lethal art of the Samurai by challenging other Dojo's until he can be one day called a Legendary Samurai. Hiroyuki's robe is now tattered black and he has adopted chains around his waist as a new weapon and to symbolize his imprisonment in the world.

The sword is able to replicate the ability of ossification, which is the body’s ability to calcify soft tissue, muscle, tendon and ligaments. This unique ability has been transferred into the sword that Hiroyuki now possess. When the sword makes contact with the skin the immediate area of the cut is inflicted with ossification causing the area to calcify and 'freeze up' or 'stiffen' making the part inflicted unable to move freely. A flurry of slashes depending on the location of the hits could completely paralyze the victim into a stone statue that is well, still alive. The hits must hit in the same spot to cause overlapping damage. Hiroyuki’s Nin/Kenjutsu cannot be used with this sword. 1 hit = Calcified skin 2 hits = Calcified tendon 3 hits = Calcified Muscle 4 hits = Calcified Ligaments 10 hits = Completely calcified limb/area. [b]Appearance:[/b] [Spoiler][img]http://www.swordsswords.com/images/products/detail/Dark_Flying_Dragon_Japanese_Katana_Black_1.jpg[/img][/spoiler] ==================== [b]Name of Weapon or Item:[/b] Shinkutsuki (Crimson Moon) [b]Description:[/b] This blade is the twin of Black Fang which completes the set. This sword has the unique ability to completely eradicate or shatter the calcified area of which the Black fang has already created. Once the limb or area that the black fang has struck and had hardened to its final stage, a strike delivered from the Crimson moon, will shatter the calcified and leave different wounds depending on the spot hit. If the calcified spot was simply skin, the skin would grow brittle and crack, if it was a completely calcified limb/spot it would shatter the calcified spot into dust. This would prove rather deadly for the enemy and cause them to seek immediate medical help. If say it was the ribs that were affected and then struck, the ribs inside would shatter causing intense pain and trauma. Only the Crimson Moon can shatter bone, otherwise the ability is null by other means. Hiroyuki’s Nin/Kenjutsu cannot be used with this sword.

The name of his weapon is “Purple Death” because of its unique appearance. The hilt of his sword is jet black obsidian with a smooth texture to anyone who touches the blade's handle. The hilt is wrapped around with a purple cloth protecting the obsidian handle. The guard of his blade is a purple lotus flower surrounded by a black box. The blade itself is the most visually striking, the blade is blackened to a deep purple, even in the midday sun. The height of the blade is tailored to his height for a perfectly structured blade. This is always sheathed and is the only blade able to coincide with his jutsu. However his jutsu cannot stack with each other.

Through meditation and the belief of rebirth and reincarnation the user has honed natural chakra and own human body. The user’s specialization of the human body applies to his body utilizing his master cell or stem cells which are unspecialized cells that are characteristically of the same family type. They retain the ability to divide throughout life and give rise to cells that can become highly specialized and take the place of cells that die or are lost. Stem cells contribute to the body's ability to renew and repair its tissues. Unlike mature cells, which are permanently committed to their fate, stem cells can both renew themselves as well as create new cells of whatever tissue they belong to (and other tissues). Thus allowing the stem cells to duplicate his normal cells, essentially keeping his body at physical peak, and eternally youthful. (This does not mean he can't die from a simple stab to the chest or a poison this just mean his body doesn't age) ========================================= [b][u]Jutsu[/u][/b]: [hider=Canon Jutsu] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Iaid%C5%8D"]Iaidō[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Iai_Beheading"]Iai Beheading[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Samurai_Sabre_Technique"]Samurai Sabre Technique[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Leaf-Style_Willow"]Leaf-Style WIllow[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Cloud-Style_Crescent_Moon_Beheading"]Cloud-Style Crescent Moon Beheading[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Reverse_Beheading"]Reverse Beheading[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Flying_Swallow"]Flying Swallow[/URL] [/hider] The Seven Virtues of the Samurai [hider=Custom Jutsu] [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Gi (Rectitude) [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Supplementary [b]Rank:[/b] D-S [b]Range:[/b] N/A [b]Nature Type:[/b] None [b]Description:[/b] When Hiroyuki is presented against Genjutsu he enters a form of rectitude and sits into a position of meditation. Like a Buddhist he concentrates on his being and releases himself from the world, while he’s dormant in this technique Genjutsu don’t seem to penetrate his subconscious mind as his meditation allows him to break free from the natural world, locking his mind away as to not be harmed. The higher the Genjutsu the longer he is in meditation for and the higher the chakra price. [b]Weakness:[/b] Cannot move while in meditation or cast any other jutsu. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Yu (Courage) [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Kenjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] D-S [b]Range:[/b] 5 meters [b]Nature Type:[/b] None [b]Description:[/b] Hiroyuki gathers his sword or sheathe and grips it firmly while he release the chains on his waist, when the chains are released they work like weights placed on the legs or arms and allow for strict training. With the release of the chains Hiroyuki’s speed becomes elevated. Hiroyuki then enters a speed form in which he becomes an elusive samurai. In this form he strikes with a flurry of attacks and can move rapidly creating a sort of after image from his dodges and attacks. [b]Weakness:[/b] Last 2 posts. Higher rank causes intense exhaustion and the risk of passing out. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Jin (Benevolence) [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Nin/Kenjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] B [b]Range:[/b] 5-10 meters [b]Nature Type:[/b] None [b]Description:[/b] Hiroyuki takes his blade and runs his finger or palm down the blade coating it in blood after a hand seal is made the blade is strengthened and sharpened. The blade becomes so sharp it is able to cut through steel easily and some of the most hardy defenses. The hardest he can cut through is topaz however. [b]Weakness:[/b] When his blood wears off the lower the penetration can go. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Rei (Respect) [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Nin/Kenjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] A [b]Range:[/b] 5 meters [b]Nature Type:[/b] None [b]Description:[/b] Hiroyuki’s ability works in two ways; if he is met with another weapon user its primary use comes out. When Hiroyuki performs several hand seals he is able to increase the weight of his opponent’s weapon by 5 Ibs with each hit. Eventually if he hits the weapon enough the weight will cause the opponent to drop with their weapon assuming a begging like position. If he comes against a Taijutsu user and he can only use this ability with the pommel of his katana. The same effects apply, but now they apply to the opponents limbs. [b]Weakness:[/b] Weapon and body parts don’t mix, if they do manage to be hit on the limb and the weapon the ability cancels out and must be reapplied. The maximum amount of weight executable is 50 Ibs.

When he runs down his finger he allows his blade the unique ability to grow in length. With the more chakra use the more length his Katana will grow. His katana can grow from a normal sword into a great Nodachi and onward. The highest length it can travel to is 20 meters, however if he rescinds and extends his weapon rapidly the more chakra draining the ability gets. [b]Weakness:[/b] The longer the weapon is the less control Hiroyuki has over the blade and the sower his movements become. Physically and Chakra straining.

Like the Dead Demon Consuming Seal Hiroyuki creates several hand seals when he is close to his enemy and drops down to his knees unsheathing a tanto from his robes, the opponent can’t see the jutsu taking place, but only the traditional ceremony of Senpukku a samurai under goes. Izanami the Goddess of Creation and Death spawns behind Hiroyuki and extends her arm through Hiroyuki to the opponent. Once they are grabbed a hold of they see the beautiful Goddess and then succumb to the jutsu. When Hiroyuki decides to cut his abdomen from left to right, the wound is mimicked on the opponent until they are both dead and sealed away from the effects of senpukku. If the opponent is somehow strong enough to resist the ceremony the segment lacerated become sealed and suffers from necrosis around the immediate area causing extreme pain and leaving the target unable to use the corresponding body part.

In this form Hiroyuki is seen wielding his blade's sheath with the left hand and resting her right hand in correspondence to the weapon's pommel in order to create his attacks. In this form the Style of the Undrawn Long Sword allows him to slash enemies with a still sheathed weapon, the sword is strong enough to cut down large men and defense while he’s in this form. His swordplay could be considered to be of the highest caliber, seeing as, to perform his attacks; Hiroyuki doesn't even have to unsheathe his blade. [b]Weakness:[/b] Can’t use any jutsu in this form. ==================== [/hider]
