[quote=@WXer] Well, with that in mind, I present to you my application. Note: Colors/headings will come later. [hider=Akihisa Echigo-ya] Name: Akihisa Echigo-ya (越後屋 明久) Age: 77 years of existence but looks to be around his 40s in Mundane form Occupation: Kabuki Artist Kaifuku Role: Graceful Gastronomic Gunsen Ghoul Mundane Identity: Akihisa also goes by his stage name “Eita Mera (米良 瑛太)” Race: Jikininki. Neither truly dead or alive, Akihisa is cursed by the gods to suffer an insatiable hunger for fresh, dead flesh at least once a day until the end of time. His own belly will start to consume what little flesh remains of his if this curse is not satisfied, leading his mortal visage to fade and reveal his true form: that of a mad, rotting corpse that has atrophied driven by greed. While he is functionally immortal and cannot be put down through conventional means, Akihisa’s body has the same durability of that of a human. If his limbs are chopped off, he needs to sew them back on if he intends to not spend the rest of eternity without them.

His performances, along with the others in his kabuki troupe, are quite salacious that they sometimes cause a ruckus among the audience. Conveniently, these brawls can often lead to deaths that don’t seem to end up at the local coroner’s office. Indeed, this new art celebrated by the people of the new era allow Akihisa to walk among the people as a ghoul, albeit with heavy makeup or with a Men-yoroi mask on. Akihisa’s activities as a Jikininki are largely unknown to the public and to the denizens of the underworld, he is not significant at all. Personality: A man punished for his greed cannot hide this inherent flaw. However, his time as an artist has given Akihisa the desire to be revered. If he finds individuals worthy of his respect, he will attempt to earn theirs as well. While seemingly proud, he is not below casting his pride away at the feet of his foes if it means preserving his fortunes. Live to fight another day would be his mantra if he weren’t already part of the unliving. Weapons: Gunsen Pair – Two iron folding fans that are sharp enough to cut through flesh. Used primarily as prop in his shows, these weapons are deceptively useful in close quarters combat. Nanban Shortbarrel Arquebus – Hidden underneath his elaborate costume is a single-shot, matchlock firearm from Europa that he took to his grave. The blood of a monk is soaked deep in its barrel. Equipment: Spice Shaker – A small container filled with spices from the Moluccas. Hides the horrible taste of rotting meat. Red Men-Yoroi Mask – A traditional samurai mask usually used by cavalry commanders (as seen in either appearance images). Fighting Style: Tessenjutsu – The martial art of warfans. A mostly reactionary fighting style, tessenjutsu aims to deflect or redirect blows from spears and swords by manipulating the opponent’s momentum. Darts, arrows and other small projectiles can also be swatted away by a keen sense. Overwhelming strength such as that from a mace or immense numerical superiority render this fighting style ineffective. Skills: Song and Dance – Being an artist has its merits. If only he was born as an artisan instead. Culinary Expert – Though he needs to eat dead flesh, this doesn’t mean Akihisa neglects the finer tastes that the world has to offer. Firearms Familiarity – Death and dishonor does not stop him from using the weapons of the foreigners. Lore: Born into the Ryōmin caste’s merchant class, Akihisa’s life would be stacked against him from the start. For centuries, tradesmen were regarded as the lowest dregs of society due to their parasitic nature of the farmers and artisans. What they lacked in prestige, they made up for in money which allowed them to simply bribe their way to respect. However, not all merchants were guaranteed success. Only those with a drive to succeed would see their fortunes prosper, and Akihisa was fueled with endless ambition. An interesting phenomenon had occurred to Japan around the time he had lived. Sailors from beyond the oceans had arrived to establish trade with the country. The foreigners did not follow local customs but brought immense wealth to the islands. However, the government soon limited trade and interaction with these sailors and Akihisa had to resort to new ways to acquire their goods. Smuggling was the answer. Funneling goods through hidden harbors put him and his fellows at odds with enforcers but the riches were too good to forsake. This venture went on for years, further finding himself deeper in the criminal underworld. His end was met at a mountain temple, where his lust for gold put him at odds with the monks who resided at the location. To his surprise, he didn’t find himself in the afterlife but soon understood the new reality of his situation. A few years of wandering the world in between worlds soon presented a unique opportunity for the ghoul as he had heard of whispers that the great Enma was looking to enlist mercenaries to his cause. Ever the opportunist, Akihisa found a new path to redemption and it was one that he could use his skills for. Theme Song: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v03DgVLIwlk[/youtube] [/hider] [/quote] I have a few issues with the sheet, I do like the idea, but I need somethings addressed first; Hazou is essentially immortal himself too, he'll be in Enma's service until Enma dismisses him. However, I gave Hazou a high weakness to certain magics. Specifically Priest magic, and he can still be banished or dismissed. That suck if a priest dismissed Hazou he returned to hell and couldn't enter the Mundane World for the next 50 years. What do we do now. He also can technically be slain by a priest who can banish him or excorcise his grudge. Because fucking priest. And yes there is a high likelihood we won't be fighting priest priest like our Ice Fog child. But there are demons who do use that kind of magic in the same way. -Personality doesn't tell me much about the character. I'm also heavily concerned that your character might derail or try to disrupt the other PCs missions for his own gain. And well I am okay with opportunistic or not so classic hero hero types, I also still need members willing to work with others and for others. And I am uncertain whether or not your character can.
