[b][color=red]🗡 Name:[/color][/b] Shuro Murota
[b][color=red]🗡 Gender:[/color][/b] Female
[b][color=red]🗡 Age:[/color][/b] 17

[b][color=red]🗡 Hunter Power:[/color][/b] The Murota family has always had a knack for playing with fire, in all the implications that comes with it. Shuro is no different. Known as Homura, or 炎, Shuro can manifest black magical flames hot enough to burn clean through the flesh of most Youkai. Whether it’s actual fire or perhaps a well of darkness taking on the shape of it is a Murota mystery, though nothing changes the fact it burns and hurts like hell. Although she’s not limited to her Heirloom in conjuring the dark flames, she prefers to use them in conjunction to her family weapon. That said, she’s not above lobbing a glob of fire at the face of people who annoy her, especially other Hunters. After all, they can take the heat.

[b][color=red]🗡 Techniques:[/color][/b] As per natural of a Hunter, Shuro holds a display of fancy tricks and techniques involving her Hunter Power and Heirloom. At the moment, she only knows three cool enough to use in public.

[indent][color=red][b]• Round House:[/b][/color] Coating her Heirloom in her own dark flames, Shuro hurls the sword ferociously at the enemy in a spinning motion. The speed and momentum make the Heirloom a burning buzz saw meant to cut down interlopers and whittle away at the toughest defense. So great is the force of it that sometimes enemies are drawn into the spinning blade of death, albeit slowly. Of course, there’s the drawback of picking up the Heirloom once its purpose is done so Shuro likes to think of the technique as a finishing move of sorts. 

[color=red][b]• Hell Volley:[/b][/color] Lighting either of her hands on fire, Shuro can conjure an orb about the size of a baseball each before hurling them at her enemies.  Given she has two hands, she can only produce and toss two flaming hot balls at a time. For Youkai who know better, two is usually all they need to give up lest they be treated to burns they won’t be walking away from. 

[color=red][b]• Black Pummel:[/b][/color] Much like Hell Volley, Shuro lights her fists on fire to coat them in her signature black flames. Unlike Hell Volley, this technique is purely close quarters in efficiency since, more often than not, Shuro resorts to a good old-fashioned punch instead of firing from a distance. Naturally, her punches burn hot as hell and have proven more than once to be a successful deterrent to anyone getting close. [/indent]

[b][color=red]🗡 Heirloom:[/color][/b] The name of the Murota Heirloom is [url= https://i.imgur.com/qP4A5vM.jpg]Alastor[/url]. Taking the shape of a jet-black blade, the weapon was passed down from generations of Hunters within the Murota family, finally finding its craft be worked by the newest and youngest of them. Unfortunately, Shuro treats the blade more like a prop to bully Youkai with rather than the respect the sword deserves, though perhaps she’s bonding with the blade in her own way…? Regardless, Alastor possesses the unique ability of absorbing heat in all manners of form, growing hot enough to the point only a Murota by blood can wield it without serious injury.  

[b][color=red]🗡 Limiter:[/color][/b] Outside of combat and her Hunter duties, Shuro’s Alastor takes the form of a small keychain. The sword shrinks down as a chain envelops around its handle. It’s usually found in Shuro’s pocket or spinning around her fingers. The blade itself isn’t sheathed however, making it a very convenient box cutter. Some would say that’s not the proper way to treat Alastor, but such is life.

[b][color=red]🗡 Background:[/color][/b] For the longest time, and for as long as Shuro bothers to remember, the Murota family has always dabbled in the practice of supernatural and mystique. Youkai hunting was only natural to their blood and the black blade Alastor has proven to be the family’s go-to tool in their extermination. It was only natural then that Shuro developed powers of her own and was the next in line to take Alastor’s blade for herself in becoming a Hunter in the modern day. There were immediate problems regarding her inheritance, however.

They were more so behavioral, and could be tuned out in time of course, but the fact remains. It wasn’t long before Shuro found boredom in her tasks of being a Hunter, brushing over the strict family guidelines of their Heirloom for nature of using Alastor in her own way. It’s not impossible to say the girl holds some form of resentment towards her family, especially to the elders and their strict methods of practice.

Perhaps that’s why she found refuge and some community within the Hunter’s Club. Being the stubborn and aloof family, they are, the Murota family has naturally declined assistance and interaction with other Hunters unless absolutely necessary. So then, to hear Shuro was the first to openly mingle with others of their craft was near-blasphemous to say the least. Yet even the Murota family can acknowledge the times of change and the ideal proposition of putting themselves out there.

It’s because of Shuro’s natural affinity and skill of their family Heirloom, despite her unorthodox methods, that have allowed her to slowly drag her family out the shadows and into a more public space. At least among other Hunters. Though truly, she could care less for all the politics of the Murota name, especially their stuck-up ways. So long as she’s finding some enjoyment out it, she’ll continue to bet for the Hunter’s Club and let such communion guide her path in life. 

[b][color=red]🗡 Skills:[/color][/b] As one can imagine, Shuro is quite the adept cook…if one likes their food burnt and permanently charcoal. If nothing else, she makes for a useful heater and never fails to warm people up; not counting the times she accidentally burned them. Without her powers, she’s a decent baseball player, taking great interest in the sport. More than one time, she’s used Alastor as a baseball bat.
