Known simply as 'The Serpent', or 'Il Serpente' in Italy, Hisaki has become a powerful assassin under the Vongola as their Rain Guardian. He wields Rain Flames, with Mist Flame abilities to compliment it. His main style is trickery. He hides his snake katana with Mist Flames, disguising it as a cane shortsword. His trickery around his weapon alone is as a result two-fold. He employs the use of Rain flames to augment his strikes and slow the opponent down, while using Mist flames to outpace them. To make up for his lower mastery of Mist flames, he uses small-scale illusions at an incredibly fast pace. He carries hidden throwing knives as an alternative combat option, known for striking them with his blade to throw them in unexpected ways and directions.
Name: Hisaki Kawaguchi Aliases: Namimori Serpent Age: 17 Gender: Male
Training Bokken with Sheath: A training sword with a specially made sheath.
Fighting Style: Hisaki's fighting style is deceptively passive, moves slowly, then suddenly lashes out explosively at the right moments in a counter-attack. The way Hisaki personally fights is using deception, and baiting his opponents into making the wrong move. He employs an Iaido style of swordsmanship, as well as hand to hand to compliment it. He’ll often try to provoke his opponent though, which matches with his style. His rudimentary skill and precision is best shown in his ability to strike knives towards targets accurately as ranged weapons.
Techniques:
Shinsuiryuu Original Techniques
Ryuubi (Dragon Tail) - Backhanded strike with the sheathed weapon, before bringing himself into a draw stance. A standard pro-active move where the user strikes first. Ryuusou (Dragon Claw) - A sideswipe attack using the blade handle as the contact point that simultaneously brings the blade into a draw stance. Used to parry. When he enters a draw stance with any of these two moves he can simply do normal slash and draw moves, or the special techniques below. Totsukawa (Crashing River) - A simple dashing draw slash that if blocked can be appended into a Battou attack, converting it from an Iai move. Niseiryu (Twin Crossing Dragons) - Two slashes in rapid succession before sheathing. Senkou Shinryuuken (Flashing True Dragon Sword) - From any draw, a wide range slash that slashes everything around him. It’s not a simple horizontal cut, but a single slash that changes direction, intensity, and angle to strike multiple targets in key spots in a single swing. This is a draw technique and ends with a sheathing of the sword, and is the first advanced technique learned in this style.
Hisaki’s Original Techniques
Jakatsu (Snake Slide) - Enters stance while dashing to the side. What makes this unique is that the footwork is so quiet and subtle that most of the time the attacker doesn’t know where he is based on sound and direction he moved out of their sight alone. This move will end with him entering a draw stance, where he can use the following, or any of his Shinsuiryuu techniques. Jadoku (Snake Venom) - A slash that’s aimed at vitals or muscles, it requires the least amount of effort, and is often the best way to disable opponents, or defeat them without causing greivous harm. At the same time it can cause the most harm by striking more painful places instead. Zanrouga (Slashing Prison Fang) - While in draw stance right before being struck he’ll execute Jakatsu backwards, then forwards past them in quick succession while slashing them once.

Personal Data Background: Hisaki was born to a poor and neglective family, father and mother eventually were imprisoned, and he was sent off to his uncle in Namimori. He was a problem child, but his uncle’s dojo allowed him to better focus his emotions. He was an excellent student in the Shinsuiryuu Itto-ryu, or “True Water Dragon” style, a single blade style, but maybe a little zealous or rebellious, as he very quickly started developing his own techniques and style based around trickery, something his uncle isn’t happy about. The fact it was before he was even recognized a master of the style too added to this.
Him being a problem child didn’t really stop though, it just was far less. He gained a reputation for being fairly provocative, and this didn’t sit well with the other juveniles and the gangs they formed, so he beat them up when they came looking for him. Because of the way he moved he was likened to the fast and sudden strike of a snake. This brought him to the attention of the Vongola in the area as well, partly due to his lineage, he was then recruited and it leads to now the present day. He knows little of the Vongola, but he sees joining them here as a chance to make use of his skills, something he’s painfully aware that won’t land him any jobs were he to choose to live a normal life.
His uncle was actually once part of the Vongola, but fell ill, leaving him with some permanent damage to his body’s functions, preventing him from ever using his dying will flames, or exerting himself physically. Hisaki’s mother and father were actually traitors, and are currently imprisoned by the Vindice. His uncle is uneasy about his current involvement with the Vongola, as he wanted to lead his nephew on a more righteous path without involving himself with the world of Mafia. He is unaware of this so far.
Personality: Hisaki is a rather callous person, he would taunt his enemies snidely and sometimes if provoked, rather angrily and without relent. He has a softer spot for small animals, his favourite being lizards, and despite that attitude does have honor towards those who earn his respect, and not actually very easy to provoke, if anything most of the time it’s his opponents who are provoked. Those were the result of his discipline under his style of swordsmanship. Had he not gone under training and discipline he would have become a much less cooperative person.
Relationships:
Reina Saotome [Friendly Rivalry]: She attacked him believing the gang members he was brutally beating up were being bullied by him, that was not the case and they clashed. They are slightly at odds due to Hisaki's seeming disregard for others, though Reina was one of the few who earned his respect. It won't stop him from taunting her if they fight though.

"From there... We should meet up with Priscilla first, an extra hand is always welcome, plus she is currently with confirmed survivors, so we should prioritize what we know", he proposed. It was a sound plan, they should try and rescue the guaranteed survivors first, before looking to see if there are more.
"We'll start with just that though, we'll question the survivors for information and decide what to do once we have that information. There's still a lot we don't know here", the idea to ask the survivors on details was thought of when he asked himself, who would know the most about what they were going to deal with? The survivors of course. It may be a simple rescue mission, but any information they can get about the Grimm they were fighting, or how this all started, would increase their chances of success by a fair margin, not to mention they could prepare counter-measures or be more prepared in general. He looked to the others to see what they thought.
Varius Gilver | Sticky Situation
"Hmph", with a short grunt he jumped the aircraft, and just in case, had begun concentrating his aura through his body. If he kept his aura accumulation maintained, he could enter battle more swiftly. Otherwise he was relegated to cleaning up or precision striking, he had the lowest participation rate in their battles, but that was only as far as time spent in combat was concerned. His contributions rate was pretty high. He wasn't the team's precision fighter for nothing after all.
After landing into the thickets of the forest, he turned to see how his team fared in the landing. The Nevermore was to be sure an annoyance this mission, but he doubted very much that it was going to be the last they saw of it.

"Hm?... Oh it's you again... Ryan?", he said, as he noticed the meek student sitting in the room. Fairly timid, the kid didn't have a very strong presence. Though he entered the club room and didn't see Akane anywhere. Today was Kendo. He was going to go to that, but all things considered at the moment there were a fair few of the club members asking him where Kami went, since the two were seen together occasionally, which was more than with anyone else, and he honestly didn't have an answer for them. He couldn't simply tell them Kami was investigating the kidnappings. Maybe next time he sees Kami he should remind him about the Kendo club. In any case, he noticed that Ryan was reading more manga, this was the manga club after all. This time it was Soul Eater.
"Oh, Soul Eater, didn't that finish?", he seated himself as he spoke, putting his things down.
"Are you picking it up or rereading it?", he inquired.
Hmmm I see. That's reasonable then I guess. I hope that pans out well when the RP starts though, I don't know the character's details for the secondaries, so I can't say too much.
Oh and I submitted my sheet because I said I would.
Yeah, I'm not saying "one character per person only", I'm just worried it'll become an out of control mess. I've seen it happen and those RPs died quickly.
EDIT: Oh by the way, for Special Trait, if I wanted Mist flames later, would I have to add Multiple Flames?
I have a Trait I'd like checked out before I bring it in, so this is semi-complete. Also drawing.

For a few play reasons. First is character saturation. If we have too many characters at the start it can get really confusing and it'll already be a tangled mess. Naturally starting with 1, and then when people get more comfortable, we can start adding more, is best.
Next is whether or not the players can play those two characters sufficiently. This comes down to players, but some people don't know whether or not they've bitten off more than they can chew.
I think it'd be fine adding more characters, but please cut some off if they're not necessary or don't add to the current cast properly.
I mean I know it's an RP, but there's a reason that shows introduce characters bit by bit. Best we can do is start with one character per player, and start including more when relationships are more established between both players and characters.
