» True Appearance Description:
When it comes to his overall phsycial appearance it's actually pretty difficult to wrap your head around, naturally when people think of a boy one would immediately assume they have a nice physique such as very well toned or buff muscles, a variety of different facial hairs and finally a very deep voice to signify their masculinity.
However in Sato's case he is the complete opposite of how the world percieves the average male figure, although he does maintain his voice and the proper reporductive organs he feels trapped...he thinks like a boy yet on the outside he feels like a woman.

He dresses like a woman to further express his gender identity he also wear clothing that's more suited for the female body, he also has a androgynous look having many mistake him for a female.

II. Personality Traits

» Personality:

Gentle - This is perhaps an odd trait to find used to describe someone who fights as a career. Yet, there he is with hands outstretched and a warm smile and his eyes softened when it comes to children, babies, animals and the persons whom he has taken the risk of letting in close.

Quick Study - If one thing keeps a person alive in dangerous situations it’s the ability to grasp difficult concepts and analyze a situation rapidly. From deciphering the patterns of an enemy's attacks to learning a new recipe for dinner Sato's mind works at a frenzied pace.

Honest - Perhaps in some situations, honesty is not always the best policy. Sato prefers, to be honest with everyone that way he doesn’t have to try and remember the lies he's told.

Direct - Like a brick with a note strapped to it through the front window of a house Sato tends to cut around the bullshit and tip toeing and tells it like it is. When asked for a report it’s just the facts. When asked for her opinion he gives it.

Decisive - Efficiency is a big thing for Sato in everything he does. In battle, he seeks to end his opponent as quickly as he can in as a few wasted moves as he can. Always looking to make the best use of his time if he can combine several smaller tasks, like reading a manual on a particular topic and eating his dinner, he will.

Stubborn - Perhaps it comes with the territory of dependability but Sato can at times be incredibly stubborn. And while perhaps for some things he's more stubborn than he is for others the fact remains that it can be neigh impossible to get his opinion on a matter to change.

Tactless - Or in the modern parlance, “He lacks chill.” If he believes something needs to be said without the ease of kind words he's probably going to say it. Such tendencies have gotten him into trouble many times with others.

Unfaltering - When Sato sets his mind to something there are few things that can stop him from attaining it. And perhaps that’s not a good thing but it does tend to get the objectives in missions achieved.

III. Character Background

» History

The Beginning:

Sato was born into a family of savages his father was a hunter of the family gathering food, setting up traps for unsuspecting critters and he was a very intellectual man. Although he lacked in academics his knowledge of the wilderness made up for it, father had a simple mentality and that was "You can drive out nature with a pitchfork but she keeps on coming back." those words stuck to Sato and his overall viewpoint on mother nature herself...no matter how hard you try she'll come back with vengence.

His mother on the other hand was the most innocent person in the world, always caring for him teaching him the ways of herbalism. At first sato wasn't interested in the whole thing besides isn't t just collecting plants and all that junk? However after experiencing a case of poison ivy he go to experience first hand what

He found a lone flower deep within the forest, the flower was unlike anything he's ever seen before untouched by nature the flower resembled himself in a way. Sato held the flower in his fingertips so that it did not touch her scuffed palms. How was it that in all this chaos this delicate bloom should survive? It's stem was the hue of spring grass and it's brilliant purple petals so thin that even the air, made dim by the plumes of debris and smoke, could shine through them; bestowing an unearthly glow. The smile that had played at the corners of his cracked lips faded. This flower, while reaching for the sun was a living corpse, it was alive and dead. Without it's roots it's vibrancy would fade sooner than the daylight. It had been three days since he's seen another person he recognized, he was rootless, like the bloom, cut off from support and supplies. He had to act now, make the right decisions or risk perishing before the moon had time to wax and wane just one more cycle.

So he and ran back home as fast as he could And he ran, like the winter breeze colliding into inanimate objects and crashing waves hitting the shore line. Like eagles soaring across indigo skies and a herd of cheetahs racing through verdant meadows. His long, pimk coloured locks whipped back and forth behind him like a fiery tale as he flung himself over sharp rocks and heavy tree trunks. He had to get this flower back to his house and find a place for it to grow.

Sato what did you do this time... his mother asked with a sato's response caused her too sigh her shoulders relax she knows that seeing her husband hunt every day caused Sato to do the same thing. She knows she shouldn't get involved in but she

"I know you like venturing into the forest but could you at least tell me beforehand?"
"I'm sorry mom, i just found this flower and i wanted to give this to you."

His mother looked at the flower and was completely dumbfounded...the flower it's was a large one with a beautiful purple tulips and it's fragrant scent still lingered.

Let's eat! His father said with a hearty laugh throwing the rabbits carcuss onto the table before debone it to get the juicy bits for the soup.

Watching his father eat the rabbit stew one thing he hated about his father was the manners he had. He ate so noisily, slurping his soup like some kind of vacuum cleaner. Then, showing no signs of embarrassment he wiped his mouth on his sleeve and belched. Whatever the case it was a cold night at the household the fire crackled in the corner of the house projecting long shadows on the surrounding area. The light cast by the flames danced across the dark trunks of the trees, twisting and curling in obscure shapes and providing a small radius of light. The fire itself was pulsating, the glowing embers seemed to move in rhythm with the flames, matching every dip and sweep. It was mesmerizing to watch, colours of orange and red gave way to yellow and white near the centre, where the emanating heat was the greatest.

His voice was smooth and clear and quiet yet powerful. Soothing, in a way. He found it weird how he usually doesn't guy’s voice beautiful, but his was. It was the promise of tomorrow. It was beautiful, and he wished that he would never stop.

A Flower Blooms:
The next morning...

Sato is slumped at the breakfast table, his brows creased and face tense. When Mom sits, coffee in hand, she asks "What's up?" her tone casual and light.
He scowls at his rabbit stew, "I don't know whether to do herbalism or hunting.

Mom takes another sip and then continues, serious faced, "I see, well, what's does your gut tell you? Which one do you want more?"

Sato's face crumples again, "I don't know!"
Mom makes her face straighter than a poker player and says, "Sato, you're not going hunting." For a fraction of a second the corners of Sato's mouth twitch upwards, until his conscious mind asserts control again. Then Mom says "Actually, no, you're not going to basketball." Sato's face is serious all the way from his eyes to his mouth, no pleasure at all, not even masked. "OK," Mom says, "We'll finish this set of herb then switch to just mortars/pestle.

However their conversation was soon interrupted when a faint sound came from outside, was it an animal or was it father returning home? So both he and his mother opened the door utterly curious until....
His father was on the ground . Lifeless. His brow hair was scattered in multiple places, stained with dried blood; crimson. His emerald green eyes were wide open, but his jade irises held a sudden sadness. His clothes, a lime green tunic and some black capris, were bloody. His body was slumped over, half-sitting, half-laying on the cold ground. And the smell. The smell was the most disturbing thing he had ever sniffed. It was a blatant his bowels had been released, and all too soon. His heart pounded as one question continued to race through his mind: Who did this?

Not five feet from Sato head, stood a black bear, waiting patiently for Sato to make the first move. It’s teeth were exposed in an angry fashion. They were sharp, white daggers, ready his slice her body until he bled to death. It’s paws were rooted to the ground, but no doubt ready to clobber him if he made any sudden movements. But there was something off about this particular bear, it had a ocean blue eye on the left, and a blood red eye on the right. He had never seen anything like it before.

Within himself suddenly a sword engraved with a sheath inside. The sword was about the average size of a european greatsword with alot of force behind it but drastically reduces the users recovery. Sato didn't care, the only thing that mattered was saving him and his mother from the ferocious beast, he swung the sword in a upward diagonal direction causing the bear to roar in pain but the bear swiped his right paw at sato's chest

The sword began to glow in a green outline and slammed it into the ground causing a small rumble similar to that of a small earthquake just then giant roots became sprouting from out the ground attacking the bear with immense force. The bear was utterly confused at the turn of the events and attempted to strike however one of the roots struck the bear in the chest causing him to lose feeling in his left paw.

Causing the bear to retreat to tend it's wounds...it was a victory for sato he and his mother were safe from harm but they needed to give their father a proper burial.
Sato and his mother began digging up dirt until there was a big enough hole to place him in, it was sad really seeing his father die so early not giving him the chance to see sato grow up and have his own family.

Once that first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. Sato bent forward where he knelt on the ground and pressed his palms onto the soil he egan to cry with the force of a person vomiting on all fours.

Hugs could never be long enough for Sato. In his mother's arms he was safe and his worries disappeared like rain on summer earth. In that embrace he was cocooned better than any butterfly-to-be. He felt her soft skin and the gentle squeeze on his own. He bathed in her warmth and the smell of freshly laundered clothes. No matter when the end came it was too soon. Trailing him around the house, torn between speech and sucking his thumb.

IV. Abilities & Equipment

» Natural Abilities
Natural Herbalist: Growing up to a family of botonist it's only natural that Sato is an expertise when it comes to plants. He can accurately tell a person whether or not the plant is effiecent enough to consume or if it'll cause dangerous side-effects,
Being a herbalist it's almost required to learn many skills, including the wildcrafting or cultivation of herbs, diagnosis and treatment of conditions or dispensing herbal medication, and preparations of herbal medications.

Natural Immunity to Plants
Growing up in the middle of nowhere with your parents using nothing but your quick wits and knowledge of plant life, it's obviously best to expose yourself to the plants and build up a resistance. As sato grew up he experimented his body by exposing it to various plants such as poison ivy and other plants that have similar effects.
Similar to a vaccine he started to expose himself to small amounts and overtime his body has built a natural immunity.

Part Plant:
Just like a normal plant his body develops glucose when he's in sunlight the more sunlight he absorbs the more powerful his abilities become. Since plants also depend on phtosynthesis they also generate their own energy meaning that if he touches a tree he can drain the glucose from the tree and use it to either heal himself or replenish his plants energy. Just like any other plant however it does have its drawbacks, if he's in a area where the sun isn't present his abilities either get significatnly weaker or stronger depending on the conditions... for example if it's raining outside his sword can absorb the water and gain a small buff.
However if it's snowing his abilities are next to useless since plants wither and die out in cold conditions, so you could say winter is his kryptonite per say. He cannot summon plants of any kind in snowy weather.

» Sacred Weapon

»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.)

» Equipment

Mortar/Pestle: When sato is in need of a quick remedy he uses his trusty pestle, it's used to grind various spices and herbs to his disposal as a means of creating either medicine or food. As with all mortars and pestles they both need to be durable but also not fragile otherwise it'll break during the pounding and grinding. The material should also be cohesive, so that small bits of the mortar or pestle do not mix in with the ingredients. To compensate for this sato's mother gave him a ceramic one to start out with as a child, overall he enjoyed the ceramic mortar since it can reduce the plants into powders more quickly, however it was very easy to stain and brittle.

Herbal medicines come in many different forms, including:
Infusions - This is when teas flowers, leaves, roots, berries, seeds and barks are ground down, placed in a little sack of muslin and soaked in boiled water (aka tea).
Syrups - These are made by soaking certain herbs in pots of honey over long periods of time. The herb-infused honey can then be added to hot water to create a drink, they can be swallowed from the spoon, or they can be dabbed onto burns and wounds with a cloth.
Lotions/creams - Made from herb infused oils and water, lotions are used to rub on the skin.
Compression - When a soft cloth soaked in a hot or cold herb infusion is applied to skin.
Poultices - Used in any situation where taking medicine orally could be a problem. Poultices are cloths smeared with herbal ingredients and applied to areas of inflammation.
Oils - Infused with herbs, oils can be used as the basis for other forms of medication such as creams.
Powders - These can be compressed into capsules or used loose.

V. Joushou (上昇, Ascending)

» Joushou Appearance Sato's overall Appearance remains the same.

» Joushou Abilities
His entire powerset revolves around utilizing plants and the sunlight at his disposal to destroy his opponents or heal himself.

Nature's Gift
Utilizing photosynthesis Sato can raise his sword into the air and allow it to absorb sunlight to heal him from minor cuts and injuries. The sword itself will give off a green glow around himself, the white speckles that goes into his sword represents the gathering of solar energy. The process can be stopped immediately if the enemy hits sato with enough force in which either can be physical or magical.
In order to heal broken bones it takes about 3-5 posts until it's complete. The main weakness however is that Sato is unable to attack his opponent while he's in this state, meaning that he must find a secluded area in which he can heal without being interrupted.

Energy Ball: Grabbing a plant from his bag sato can then use the powdery substance and drag it against his sword to summon a ball, this ball is made up of pure natural energy. What's interesting is that Sato can use any plant he has at his disposal and whatever plat he uses it's effects will be applied to the energy ball. For example if Sato has hemlock and his sword absorbs it's contents the next energy ball he fires at the opponent will have the hemlock's side effects which is vomiting, paralysis, and even stomach pains. However these side effects differ when used against normal humans and spiritual beings, the effects can be countered by avoiding the ball or if the opponent has enough Willpower/Focus. It doesn't work against opponents who're naturally immune to paralysis.

Post limit is one post and the cooldown is 2-3

Mother Nature's Shield:
Sato can create a barrier with thorns surrounding his body shielding him from basic attacks such as sword slashes, and however his thorns are very weak against opponents with the ability to manipulate fire, ice, or control plants better then him. The barrier can be used in the midst of combat and has a cooldown of 2-3 posts, however in there must be actual soil around him for the plants to shield him otherwise
The post limit is 1 posts

Nature's Wrath:
Sato's sword becomes outlined in green and slams it into the ground causing the very ground beneath him to summon giant roots filled with thorns to appear from the ground and strike the opponent. This ability is considered a high risk, high reward sort of deal basically if the attack hits the enemy will be pierced with these thorns impaling their body and if that doesn't work Sato can coat the thorns with whatever plant he chooses. However once he's used this ability he won't be able to use his other ones for 2-3 posts.

Sunflowers: These are the traditional plants sato uses in case he needs a bit of energy in a fight. If the plants are in a area where the sun is the most active they'll iniciate photosynthesis and transfer that energy into sato's sword and body allowing him to keep going for prolong periods of time. However the sunflowers are limited to how much sunlight they can absorb and they can be destroyed with little to no effort. They don't do any damage abilities whatsoever and are helpless to combat the opponent.

Beginner: 1 plant
Adept: 2 plants

Just some minor things that need changed.

It doesn't work against opponents who're naturally immune to paralysis.

Needs to have a post limit and cooldown.
