» Personality:[i] Chikara is the best ally anybody could hope for. He is loyal and dedicated, supporting his allies in all they do and never abandons or betrays them. Perhaps he doesn't lead, but he offers advice and support. Even in the worst situations, he is the eye at the center of the storm, he is the reason and rationality that keeps his friends alive despite the chaos raging around them. He speaks in calm and measured tones while others shout and argue.

He prefers tried and true methods over new ideas. If an old tactic worked before, he'd rather try it again than work on a new plan that might or might not be effective. He's slow and deliberate, and believes that rash thought and quick actions are a great way to get himself in trouble. He hangs back and waits for his foes to tip their hands; rather than charge, he'd prefer to move forward slowly and ready an attack.

To keep to this dogma, Chikara is rigorous and structured in his personal endeavours. He constantly does weapon drills, he meditates, and he monitors the food he eats, the liquids he drinks. He feels uneasy when his routine is interrupted. In his mind, his body is as much a tool as his sword and armor. It requires rest and proper care, and he expects others to meet his standards.



» History From the earliest age he can remember, Chikara was a servant in the army of his lord. He drilled to march, drilled to fight, drilled to bathe and eat. Every moment was utilized to its maximum potential, and he kept moving with one purpose or another as long as daylight lasted. Learning to fight, cleaning weapons and armor, and taking care of the cavalry's steeds were only a few of the tasks that greeted him each day. No task assigned to him was meaningless or trivial, and all of them could be completed with a sense of pride in knowing that he served an organization whose purpose was much larger than him.

As a child, he spent his days cleaning. Everything was cleaned twice a day, from pots and pans to the horses' bridles, to his quarters and sleeping mat. Everything was checked and rechecked to make sure it was tended properly. As he grew older, his responsibilities also grew. He was set to repair practice dummies, patch uniforms, and when fortune favored him, he exercised horses. As he grew older and taller, he began training with various weapons, becoming skilled in their use through almost constant repetition and practice.

The prospect of another year of taking orders, cleaning stables, marching in formation, obeying his officers, it grew tiresome. He left, to do what he wanted, when he wanted. He felt a strong sense of wanderlust. He wanted to know what lay over the mountains, the outside world seemed so much more interesting than his humdrum existence, especially when he heard stories of great cities that stood beyond the horizon. An old warrior who returned with treasure and renown, stoked his imagination with tales of the outside world. He hired on with a passing caravan as a guard, and ventured out in the world.


» Natural Abilities Yes. He has a near-perfect control over his own spiritual energy. The aura he exerts is extremely adaptable, allowing him to bolster someone else's power using his own, essentially hooking himself up as a battery to them. He does this by matching his spiritual energy with someone else's, allowing them to draw energy from him for their own use.

The efficiency of this effect is variable depending on the focus Chikara is allowed to put into it. With Beginner Focus, he is barely able to maintain the ability for any substantial amount of time. He cannot manage the ability well, and it is very unstable.

At Adept, he retains more control over the ability, not having to dedicate most of his concentration to simply trying to establish the connection. Obviously, the less concentration he has to devote to the ability, the more he has to spend on the battle.

At Advanced, he becomes able to achieve a sort of inner calm while focusing on the ability, entering a sort of zen state where he may transfer spiritual energy from his environment around him into power that he may use himself, or transfer again to others. Much like a Quincy can use the environment to create their spiritual weapon and ammunition for it, he becomes able to

» Sacred Weapon A sword. He can focus spiritual pressure through it, manifesting different elements within the sword. He may light the weapon on fire, freeze it entirely, or even sheath it in lightning. As he begins to understand more about the elements, the world around him, and himself, he may even extend these effects to other things. For example, he could manifest plasma as an extension of fire and electricity. After that, to prevent the blade from falling apart without containment, he may be able to continually manifest auras of frost around the blade, the blade dripping like lava but never-the-less retaining a form. Or perhaps he could lend forms to elements that are not entirely defined, he might be able to use gravity as a weapon, warping levels around the blade in unpredictable ways.

»Personal Mystic Eyes: (When/if a Sugiuran achieves a Master skill in Mystic Eyes, they are capable of developing their own personal mystic eye with a unique power unto themselves. If you will not have a Master level mystic eye, strike this section.)

» Joushou Appearance

Spoiler:

» Joushou Abilities The Dragon's Fury.

Enhanced Strength: When Chikara enters Joushou, he takes the limitations of his body and intensely stresses against them. He becomes stronger, his muscles becoming filled with explosive might. The sheer amount of power he can exert at a moment's notice is staggering--his already well-defined body gains bulging biceps, a broad chest, and wide shoulders. In addition, he becomes very healthy, resisting supernatural diseases and other hardships while enduring punishment all the while.

Enhanced Durability: Normally, he boasts an incredible resistance to pain. His strength of body and will is unmatched, and he begins, rather simply, to ignore pain entirely. His body becomes more energy than form, and he can roll with blows that would incapacitate normal warriors, before striking back with the same ferocity he was shown. He is so determined to endure, that he powers through enemies despite greivous injury or exhaustion.

Radiant Bolt: While in Joushou, Chikara can create form for his spiritual energy. He does this by manufacturing bolts of white light that he can send at his enemies. These bolts are intensely hot--merely coming into contact with one of them is enough to cause severe burns, melting through skin and muscle in mere moments. He sends off one, then in a flash, two more follow suit. They arc through the air towards their target, undying in their determination to send Chikara's foes to meet their maker.

Searing Arc: As he attacks with his weapon, Chikara can send waves of scorching energy through the air. He burns off additional spiritual pressure, sending sheets of flame shooting forth from his weapon and armor. The fire burns the landscape around it, catching fire on any flammable objects that being protected. Due to the flame being comprised of spiritual energy, water won't quench it, and lack of oxygen won't put it out. It will continue to consume anything it touches until Chikara takes the energy back.

Flame Shield: Chikara can also set his soul alight; he becomes wreathed in a luminous flame, shedding intense and blinding light around him. The light is as though you stared into the sun, while the sun stared back. He essentially channels energy into the shield, causing it to be come volatile, exploding around him when struck. He takes this energy and uses it again, trading blows efficiently with any enemy.



» Zenou Appearance

Spoiler:

» Zenou Abilities The Ascension.

Chikara shatters his armor, letting it fall to pieces. He returns the armor to energy, which immediately slams into his body again, melting over his skin and bones, forming a massive suit, burning with red smoke. Lightning snaps and cracks around it, and as he stands, he shatters the ground around him. He gains a new weapon, a spear, enhanced by crackling electricity. The reflection of his inner self, this is Chikara's greatest power.

The armor itself is a set of plate comprised entirely of spiritual particles. It is hardened against most attacks, being a strong representation of Chikara's body, and more to the point, his soul. It is a physical manifestation of his desire to protect others, to be the bastion they can fall back on when the day is dark.

Supernatural Strength, Durability, and Enhanced Speed: In Joushou, the limitations of his body and soul have been completely ignored. They were left at the wayside long ago, and it doesn't look like they'll be picked up any time soon. In Joushou, his body had large muscles, and they continue to grow here. He becomes filled with even more energy, the lightning crackling through his form while enhancing his already impressive physical prowess. Now, however, circumstances have changed: his armor is practically weightless, and his body is not as heavy as it was before, becoming comprised partially of pure energy. He cannot truly become a mountain of muscle and mass, so Zenou does him the favor of compressing his body, turning the Sugiuran knight into a lean and dextrous opponent. His reflexes, and indeed, overall agility become improved several times over.

Additionally, his new armor has become a serious threat to those who would wish harm upon him. He shines like a star, letting his allies know that help is on the way, and his enemies know that their reckoning is nigh. It is intensely bright, blowing away zones of darkness in the area, leaving the battlefield illuminated like the scene in his dreams. While he sheds this light, he becomes able to perform acts of retribution when struck. He sends sacred motes of light back at his foes, comprised of the same energy that was used to attack him. This ability is strikingly similar to the radiant bolts he is able to send off in Joushou, sharing the same appearance, and the same effects.

Angelic Flight: While in Joushou, Chikara was mostly limited to the ground. This limitation is removed in Zenou: he gains the ability to fly. Pure white wings sprout from his armor, granting him the ability to maneuver within three dimensions. This ability is always active, enabling him to maneuver just as quickly in the air as he could move on the ground, if not faster. If he gains other ways to increase his speed, they carry over here.

Sacred Crusader: While in Zenou, Chikara is able to channel energy into his weapon. He becomes able to channel spells through it, casting the desired effect and manifesting it within the spear. He can only channel spells into one weapon at a time, however. Additionally, even if the spell normally affects an area, it will only affect the target. When he makes a successful hit on his enemy with a spell prepared, Chikara discharges the spell, affecting the target as though he had prepared and cast it normally. He can also sacrifice energy as a reaction to damage, in order to resist the damage dealt to him. It depends entirely on the level of the spell Chikara is sacrificing, however, and depending on the level of energy expended, there may be a massive change, or none at all.
