[hider=Hunter with the Taste of Death] [b]Name:[/b] Yamamura Seishiro [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=https://safebooru.org//images/2812/726592669662dea0790814e22f6e396f3dc3586e.jpg]Seishiro[/url] is unremarkable at first glance. Tall, but not too tall, strongly-built, but not bulging with muscle, without close examination he could pass for a student athlete. However, he does have several peculiarities. He has shining golden eyes, like a cat's, that are not hidden by his limiter, and so he will sometimes wear contacts in public to cover them. He carries many scars all over his body, including his face, as a result of the power of his bloodline and the training he underwent in his upbringing. Seishiro's dress sense is a bit eccentric, as he likes punk-style clothes, featuring a lot of leather, studs, spikes, chains, and silver jewelry. [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Backstory:[/b] The Yamamura bloodline is as ancient and storied as Hunter bloodlines come. However, they have faded into the realm of myth over the last few centuries, and have been thought to be extinct by many. In a long-distant year, the Yamamura clan heard tell of another bloodline of hunters, their name lost to history, conspiring to bring a powerful and malevolent Youkai into the world. Rather than let this catastrophe come to pass, they went to war against this enemy bloodline, and eradicated them. However, when the other bloodlines called upon the Yamamura to answer for their deeds, they could not prove the other clan's wrongdoing, as the perpetrators had all been killed. Those that had participated in the purge were marked as Youkai and executed, which combined with the casualties from the battle, greatly diminished their bloodline. The Yamamura faded into obscurity, and were thought to have quietly gone extinct. However, this was revealed to be untrue as Seishiro emerged to join the Hunter's Club. He had spent his early childhood as the rest of the remaining Yamamura had in the intervening years; in secrecy and seclusion in distant places such as mountains and forests. Seishiro had grown up with no other children, with his father as near-only human contact. There he had been tutored and trained in the ways of the Hunter, with shocking success, and yet his isolated upbringing has made him a bit eccentric, like someone lost out of time. Even though he is overwhelmed by modern city life, he is eager to make new friends among the Hunter's Club and regain the honor of his fallen bloodline. [b]Hunter Power:[/b] The bloodline of the Yamamura is strange and considered disturbing by some. They have been known to call it "Death Eater" (死食べ), which is as accurate a description as any. If Seishiro becomes wounded or otherwise damaged by some form of attack, he can "savor the taste of death," and develop an adapted resistance to that attack. This only lasts as long as he can concentrate on the "taste of death," and so the time and number of adaptations he can manifest are both limited by his concentration and willpower. At the present moment, he can juggle three in his mind at once, but he is training to improve. If need be, he can "consume a bitter death," to completely heal from what would otherwise be a fatal wound, but this does not provide him with a resistance to the damage that would have killed him, and is exhausting, thus hampering his power until he can rest. [b]Techniques:[/b] Seishiro's fighting style is classically trained, almost antiquated, but is highly aggressive, relying on his ability to cheat death to deal the most possible damage. Hari (針): Seishiro kicks off with tremendous speed, diving toward an enemy sword-first, like a wasp hunting a fly. Sengiri (千切り): Seishiro delivers as many cuts as he can in as short a time as possible, his blade becoming a barely-visible whirlwind, hoping any will find purchase and deliver Blood Shadow's venom. Haru (駆る): Seishiro's primary unarmed technique, similar to Hari, where he closes distance with his foe at maximum speed to kick them into the dirt. [b]Heirloom:[/b] The heirloom Seishiro carries is Blood Shadow (血影), a strange, antique katana. Its metal is old and dark, and veined with strange channels and symbols. It has no crossguard, and the wrappings about its hilt are wine-red and ragged. Upon activation, Blood Shadow pricks Seishiro's palms with hidden needles in the grip, and channels his blood up into the blade. Like its master, Blood Shadow savors the taste of death, and inflicts this taste upon his enemies. Whatever sort of creature Seishiro has adapted to become more resistant to, his blood becomes a deadly venom against. The more he has adapted himself to face this particular foe, the more potent this poison becomes. [b]Skill:[/b] Seishiro is rather self-sufficient, and adept at rural living. Given that he lived alone with his father, he is used to doing a lot of housework. Besides that, he has near-encyclopedic knowledge of vintage music, movies, and other pop-culture, as these were all he was exposed to during his isolated upbringing. [b]Limiter/Charm:[/b] Seishiro's limiter is a skull-shaped silver ring he wears on his left hand. The charm for Blood Shadow is as antique as the blade itself, and takes the form of a tarnished silver hair-pin that Seishiro keeps stuck through the lapel of his jacket.
