Weapon(s): Katana (shown in picture above) This is the only weapon she can efficiently use, but man, can she use it.
Personality: Aika has a very bad temper, which is the very reason she seems to constantly be in a fight (whether it be with another one of her clan or just an enemy.). This trait, in her opinion, only makes her stronger. In others' opinions, it makes her foolish. She is hard to handle, but is very useful in battle. Even though it's difficult to look passed her rough exterior, she's a good and loyal samurai.

He looks awesome!PicaPirate said:"You could say he's pure to a frightful extent. A crystallization of martial skill."
Appearance:
Appearance Notes: Generally wears his cloak over him. His hair is black. He looks older than he is from all the phyiscal exertion and marks from fighting.
Name: Bushin Hokusai (family name first)
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Demon or Fallen Human: Fallen Human
Weapon: Glaive/Guan Dao, as shown in first picture. Inherited by the Bushin he grew up with.
Personality: Hokusai has a rather abrasive , frank personality. He has only just just started trying to emulate standard human thinking and mannerisms, so he is clumsy with his words and manners. Raised in purely fighting, he lacks other kinds of training. His mind is strong in a purely martial sense, from thinking for years on the manner of war. He isn't afraid to voice his opinion. His temper is like that of a hawk, seeking opponents when at their weakest. He confronts his problems directly and bluntly. He is unfamiliar with emotions, as one of the codes the Bushin follow is that sentimental emotions are not needed for those who seek strength and the Bushin commit themselves fully to the "martial path" in order to purge themselves of unwanted emotions.
His free time is spent meditating to hone his mind in fighting or training. He has been known to fight wild animals and cut down trees with swings of his glaive.
He has no form of tactical thinking or conversational skills, as his childhood had none of it.
When fighting in a battle, he enters a deep trance taught to all of the Bushin. They blank their thoughts and synchronise their breath their body, becoming aware of their surroundings and the energy around it. While some Bushin flow with the energy and dance in this trance, Hokusai fights it with pure destructive force.
His speed and skill with the glaive are powerful from his constant training with it. His raw strength in hand to hand is also high due to his training, however he has no experience with any other weapon.
History/Bio: Hokusai was born with no name. A war orphan in times of strife, he has no knowledge of his parents. All he knows is that he was as a child picked up by a small secretive group of demons known as The Bushin (God of Military Arts). A Bushin is someone who secludes themselves from society and dedicates their life to achieving the pinnacle of a "path". All their warriors were nameless and known as Bushin by name. As they are all seeking different "paths", some do so alone while others do so as a group living together. As Bushin apply themselves to continuously honing and refining a "martial path", the Bushin here learnt to fight after becoming old enough to train alone.
As a Bushin, fighting was all he did. He fought for his food by attacking convoys and would attack armies to hone his skills. He became renowned as a skilled killer known for his powerful sweeping attacks and keen instincts. Within time, he was feared in his area. Known as a Bushin, that was his name.
This changed at the age of 26. While fighting a large battalion, he became heavily injured due to their overwhelming numbers and the presence of Demons who crashed the battle. He survived, however also having to fight demons took a large toll on his body. While resting on the riverside he met a Hitomi maiden. While part of the clan, this woman did not fight as a profession. This woman cleaned the mans wounds and healed him from his injuries. In the month it took for him to heal fully, she would engage in discussion with him about near everything. At first, the Bushin did not respond at all, merely listening. After time, he would question various things she said. As a man only in war, he knew nothing about how to live in any other way.
During this month period in healing, this woman taught him the principle of humans, valuing life and not mindlessly killing. She explained to him foreign concepts such as justice and simply not fighting. The Bushin would try to grasp these concepts, attempting to learn them. In one sense, he was like a very old child, where a large part of the world was unknown to him.
After he healed, the Bushin began training again. This included meditation to hone his thoughts taught by the woman and cutting trees with simple swings, which she said scared him. Fear was an unknown concept to the Bushin, so he couldn't understand this. By 3 months he was in his full dangerous self again, though with some human knowledge and with a woman who he never learnt the name of.
The woman decided it had been suitable time to travel back to her clan, when things went south. While basically on the doorsteps to a Hitomi clan area, they were ambushed by a large group of raiders. While the Bushin eliminated them in front of the Hitomi reinforcements that came with ease, the woman became injured from an arrow to a vital area. Her dying words to him were to not kill mindlessly but for a purpose and calling him Hokusai, the great wave who will sweep the nation. While the Hitomi cried in mourning for their sister, the now named Bushin Hokusai stood towering over her. His anguish was not expressed, but he felt it, an emotion he never experienced before and didn't wish to again.
He now seeks redemption for his past sins (of large scale killing) by joining the Hitomi and learning their way of life and attempting to emulate it into his martial soul. He decided that joining their cause to defeat Gashadokuro. Whether the Hitomi will accept him however is another matter entirely.
Relationships: None. In his time as a path seeker, he never had romantic interests, being entirely devoted to martial skill. Ever since he freed himself from the grasp of the Bushin, he has yet to see anyone that caught his eye.
Technically I think Aki already accepted you, but let me just say it again. Accepted!Accepted of course. ^^ Great character.Shura11 said:

Katana and wakazashi
Personality
Kashiro is very arrogant ambitious and vengeful. He wares a mask of calm indifference, in life Kashiro would his words and charm to get what he wanted however after resurrection he is quick to draw his weapon and intimidate others. He hungers for power and to lead a clan of his own and despises those in power. Although he hates the leader of the clans and those above him but is wise enough not to cause problems with in the Kage ranks. Although he hungers for power he understands that as a fallen human he will not be able to lead the Hitomi clan, so instead he seeks to destroy it and above all else end Hikarus life himself.
History/Bio
Kashiro was always hungered for power. In his youth he trained hard to escape the shadow of his older brother but was never able to do so. It wasn't until his engagement to Hikaru that he was able to break away from being over shadowed. His brother had married a woman of lower standings out of love which Kashiro deemed foolish. Kashiro married expecting to have control over the Hitomi clan but was severely disappointed when all his role in the maters became was to make suggestions and act as an advisory rather than make the decisions himself. He tried to take on responsibility and respect of the clans members little by little which worked in his favor. Especially when Hikaru's pregnancy took a turn for the worst causing the clan leader to have to step down temporarily in order to ensure their child's health.
Kashiro tried to change policies and make decisions but constantly found his authority being undermined. Many of the important decisions fell to Hikaru to make. He was further shamed by the birth of a daughter rather than a son. When Hikaru was told that she could resume Clan Leader activities with in a few weeks Kashiro snapped. He tried to smother his wife as she slept in an attempt to make it seem like she died from complications of child birth instead. However he had underestimated Hikaru and was stabbed in the leg for it. He attempted to try and smother her again but she had called for her guard and before he could even use her blade against her was shot by a deadly arrow.
Kashiros spirit remained enraged and sought out revenge for being the one to die instead of Hikaru. His hatred and anger was so great that he made a deal with a demon to be resurrected and take his revenge and in exchange the demon would have her soul along with any Kashiro killed along the way. He joined the ranks of the Kage army since their goals were the same and seeks to fulfill his lust for revenge.
