Iwamine Hisoka [APPROVED, 0-5+; Knight]

Name: Iwamine, Hisoka (岩嶺 密)
True Age: 8791 (Birthday is December 28)
Gender: Male
Personality: Iwamine. Hisoka Iwamine. People see him and can see that he is a man full of regret. They see him as a man who has done something for him to seek retribution, thus the outfit he wears. These bystanders could not be farther from the fact. Iwamine is not full of regret. Iwamine does not seek retribution. Iwamine is full of nothing. Iwamine seeks nothing. He has nothing to gain. He has nothing to lose. Iwamine is the purgatory of humanity and morals. He is neither black, nor is he white, nor is he grey. Iwamine is clear. There is nothing to give him morals. There is nothing to cause him to want. There is nothing that can cause him to hate.

Iwamine Hisoka is truly an empty man. Iwamine shows no compassion. Iwamine only shows logical understanding, but nothing beyond his own comprehension. If he does not know something, he will admit so. If he does not like the taste of something, he will admit so. If he thinks that dress makes you look fat, he will admit so. Iwamine does admit that there is value in certain relationships, not as in the love side of relationships. Iwamine knows that there are people to learn from. These people are seen as humans, and not as objects. However, Iwamine will never not be below using other people if it is required. Iwamine will kill whoever is required to be killed. He will save whoever is required to be saved. Yes, as long as it is required, nothing is below Iwamine, nor is it above him. Iwamine follows orders obediently. He does not break the orders he is given, unless it is literallty physically impossible for him to complete the objective.

Iwamine never truly "masters" anything. He gets to the step before and simply stops and switches to another subject. Granted, the effort he puts into things puts him at a master-level or higher. He does not see the point in approval or showing that one is happy that someone did something. If a kid uses a toilet for the first time, do they deserve praise? Did they do anything miraculous? No, they did something every kid will at one point do. In his theories, even Jesus Christ would not be "praise"-worthy. Iwamine Hisoka, a man who has done much and yet requires nothing in return. He learns but will not teach. The ironic thing about Iwamine is his occupation. Despite his past, he has the guise of a priest. He speaks the word of God like it were his own writings.
Sugiura Class: Knight Sugiura

Appearance: Iwamine Hisoka is definitely Japanese. His skin is tinted slightly, but not to the point to where one can confuse him as another race. Iwamine's eyes are deep brown and have no pupils. Rather, his pupils are very hard to see. Their black mixes with his deep brown at times, making it seem as though he does not have pupils. Iwamine has unique eyebrows. While they are the same color of his hair, they split at the end farthest away from the nose. These so-called tree branch eyebrows simply have an extra end, giving him a mix of angry and neutral eyebrows. His hair is a lighter shade of brown, though only slightly. It is slightly unkempt, as he does not see the point in getting it styled for it only to be contaminated with sweat and winds. The back of his hair is long enough it almost touches his back. Iwamine's physique is quite remarkable for a "simple priest." His face is very plain in shape, though it is chiseled at very sharp angles. His arms are muscular, especially his lower arms. His legs match his arms, with him keeping their muscle mass up with jogging. However, it is his torso that is most amazing. He keeps his torso quite fit, thanks to Bājíquán training. The muscles are rigid.
Iwamine's clothing choices are simple: a priest's garb or nothing. Iwamine never chooses the latter, unless he is showering or sleeping. The black collarino Iwamine wears is what catches most eyes, aside from the massive gold cross hanging around his neck on a silver chain. The white cloth collar he wears is inserted between the collar of the collarino. His black pants are sewn to be slightly above his ankles. His shoes are brown leather and lack a latching or buckling system, meaning they slip on. Underneath this black garb, he wears a black sleeveless shirt, as well as black boxer-briefs. Boxers snag and briefs cause discomfort, so he chose boxer-briefs instead.

Animalistic Traits: Iwamine has a metabolism which acts four times faster than a normal Sugiura's.
Appearance Age: Mid-Twenties
Height: 185 cm
Weight: 82 kg

Magic: Iwamine is strangely a near-master at healing Sugiura Magic. It's strange for a Knight Sugiura to have skill in Magic, but Iwamine's skills are being enhanced day-to-day thanks to his teacher, Shimura Sugiura.

Sacred Weapon: Iwamine's Sacred is no weapon. It is a concept. The Sacred allows for Iwamine to create many other weapons (of the same type) to assist. However, the strange "Concept-type" Sacred puts Iwamine in a constant Joushou. The abilities of it will be described there.

Ranged Combat: Iwamine's skill for ranged combat comes from only one thing: his Black Keys. A single throw, complete with preparatory movements, could be completed in 0.3 seconds. He could perform four separate throws in 0.7 seconds. His accuracy rate was extremely high, even when striking down unconfirmed targets. The blades themselves could penetrate reinforced concrete. He can throw them like boomerangs, frisbees, or darts. If he had a crossbow, he could even launch them like bolts.

CQC: While Iwamine is quite skilled with using his Black Keys, that is not what makes him deadly. Iwamine's only hand-to-hand style is Bājíquán. However, Iwamine's Bājíquán is jokingly called "Super Bājíquán" (スーパー八極拳). It is an ultimate technique born from the miraculous fusion of Bājíquán and magecraft, having become an Internal Art that transcended the External Art. It is a reckless attack belonging solely to Iwamine, whose self-destructive fighting style that only Iwamine could develop. His last teacher, a man known only as Heroism. Iwamine was taught Bājíquán's basics by Heroism, but he has been training and using the art after leaving Heroism's guidance. Iwamine's skill in it is so advanced that with a mid-level punch, he can crush a thoracic cavity with lung and heart pounded into a mash of meat in the process, all while sending the target twenty meters away. He can snap a fully-grown cedar tree with nothing but his waist thrusting. He can, at maximum, react to a human moving at three times normal speed (not just running, but arm movements, finger movements, etc.) after discerning that they are indeed moving that fast. When Iwamine is completely focused, his skill in Bājíquán skyrockets. He reaches a certain state in his skills, he doesn't even need eyesight to detect the enemy’s movement. He could predict the opponent’s next move purely on the brief moment when his arm blocked that of his opponent, rendering attacks from his blind spot pointless. Granted, it would be slightly difficult for him to counter-attack.

Command Seals: Iwamine's secret weapons. A gift passed onto him from birth. Iwamine has the ability to form a "contract" with someone. Granted, this does not grant him nor the other any new abilities... per se`. Instead, it gives Iwamine access to the only thing that can he can use to change reality around him. Command Seals take the form of a tattoo set on one of his four appendages. The tattoos look like tribal markings and go from his wrist to his elbow and from his shin to his knee. Each set has eleven different sections, each one being a Seal. These Command Seals allow for Iwamine to manipulate one of two things: his body or his sacred. By manipulate, Iwamine will give a nigh-undeniable order and the Command Seal will force the order to be carried out, to the point of making it perform an otherwise impossible action. If it is within the scope of the level of Iwamine or his Sacred, then it can be realized through the power of a Command Seal-backed order - even if it is something Iwamine isn't normally able to do. Truly impossible orders, such as true miracles, cannot be accomplished. If a given order is meant to apply over a long period of time or if the order is vague, the strength of the order will grow weaker. If he is fatally wounded, an order such as "heal right this instant" will result in the wound being temporarily sewed shut with a thread of reishi and reiatsu, allowing Iwamine to survive for a brief period; it does not, however, provide any actual medical treatment. For another example, he can use a command seal to cause his Black Keys to increase in size to a near-exaggerated size. Granted, they can't hold all of that extra energy being poured into them, so they're brittle but can stop large bullets and other projectiles. Another example of how he could use it would be: turning his own body into a lethal weapon, he reinforces his physical abilities to match the bullet. He accelerates his reaction time, multiplies the maximum power output of his right flexor, radius muscle, and pronator teres. As it is forced to bend to the power of the Command Seals in his body, the supernatural phenomena of the clash sounds like two mill stones impacting, the scattering sparks seem to distort the laws of physics, and the approximately 3000 pound-per-inch kinetic energy of the bullet is forced off at an angle. However, everything has a limit to what it can do. Iwamine has a grand maximum of 44 of these beasts. Each one is used up once and will not re-appear. Each set appears when he makes a contract (he has two open, one with Shimura and one with Heroism). He can not make a contract with someone twice, unless they have an alternate personality that appears (such as an Alter or Hollow Self). However, he can not have two contracts with the same person at the same time, even with alternate personas. To create the contract, Iwamine has a chant: "Thou shalt come under my command/and my fate shalt be thy sword./If thou dost accede to this will and reason..."
The other person must then say: "Thy offering shall be my flesh." And then the contract will be sealed and Iwamine will gain more Command Seals.


Protection Against Wind: (風除けの加護 - Kazeyoke no Kago) A mystic charm originated from the Far East, it offers protection against phenomena related to the wind. Protection Against Wind allows Iwamine to soar through very windy environments and such with very little difference than a calm day.

Origin: Emptiness.

Guardian Beast: Iwamine's Guardian Beast is his deceased wife. The third and youngest of Shimura's generation, Kyrie Sugiura (later Iwamine) was quite sickly during her time alive. She was always extremely pale, giving her a ghostly look in a world of spirits. Kyrie married Iwamine to show that he could still feel compassion. Albeit, it did not necessarily work. Kyrie's illness killed her, but she was brought back by Shimura when Iwamine went under Shimura's wing for training. She is a masochist, but she does not enjoy the pain from her illness. Instead, she loves only the pain her husband can give her.

Guardian Beast's World: Kyrie's inner world is empty. Not in the sense of a white room with nothing in it. It has a definite shape, a church's interior. However, it is empty in the sense that there isn't, never was, and never will be anything inside. It is a husk. No messages shall be taught in here. No mass will ever listen to a priest. Only Iwamine and Kyrie have stepped foot in this church, and they will be the only ones who will.

Joushou Appearance: ^N/_A
Joushou: Iwamine's Joushou is a constant-type. It allows for him to summon weapons known as Black Keys. Black Keys appear initially as a red T-shaped handle. The handle has an ivy-like decoration wrapping around the upper bar of the T. However, these aren't just Ts that he throws They are instead what he uses to channel his own energy to create .73-meter long blades. These complete the Black Keys, which are truly short swords. Iwamine can create three Black Key handles at a time in Joushou.

Zenou Appearance: ^N/_A
Zenou Abilities:

• Increased Black Key count: Iwamine's Black Key count is increased to six of them. Iwamine's Black Keys have sigils now on the blades, if he wills it. The sigils allow for Iwamine to have extra effects to the Black Keys upon penetration.
  
• Jhator Sacrament: (鳥葬式典 - Chousou shikiten) The Jhator Sacrament sigils look like ravens and crows. Upon penetration, the Jhator Sacrament takes effect. It becomes a homing beacon for his other Black Keys. This means that for five posts after it penetrates, any of his other Black Keys will have higher accuracy and a slight homing effect. He can use it on two Black Keys only.
  
• Dokhma Sacrament: (風葬式典 - Fuusou shikiten)The Dokhma Sacrament sigils look like the sun's rays shining onto the blade. Upon penetration, the moisture in the target begins to be absorbed into the Black Key. It will quickly create dehydration in normal people if the blade is not removed within four posts. However... it won't return the moisture. No, one must break the sword to return the moisture, and they must break it with it still inside of the target. He can use it on two Black Keys only.
  
• Cremation Sacrament: (火葬式典 - Kasou shikiten) The Cremation Sacrament sigils look like flames dancing across the blade. Upon penetration, the target does not combust. No, the penetration point is slowly superheated to the point of near-melting. He can use it on two Black Keys only.
  
• Interment Sacrament : (土葬式典 - Dosou shikiten) The Interment Sacrament sigils look like chains overlapping the blade. Upon penetration, a chain links back to Iwamine's hand. The blade's tip digs itself into the penetration point by splitting to make hooks. He can use it on two Black Keys only.
  
• Baptism Rite: An ability that increase Iwamine's physical abilties three-fold for three posts. It is activated by a 10-line chant, where he can only say 5 lines per post. He can be interrupted mid-chant. He can use it once per thread. It decreases his physical abilities by 1/3 after use for three posts. The chant:
  "I kill, I give life. I injure, I heal. There are none who escape from my hands. There are none who escape from my eyes.
  May it be so that you are shattered.
  I welcome the defeated, the aged. Surrender to me, learn from me, obey me.
  May you be at rest.
  Do not forget the song, do not forget the prayer, do not forget me .I relieve you of all burdens.
  May it be so that there is no deception.
  Retaliation unto forgiveness, betrayal unto belief, despair unto hope, darkness unto light, death unto life.
  May you rest in my hands. Let there be mark of your sins. Eternal life is found only in death.
  Forgiveness is before you, and so my incarnation vows.
  "May God have mercy of this soul (Kyrie Eleison)"
  

Kyuu Kyou Appearance: No change.
Mystic Eyes: Iwamine has no Mystic Eyes.
Kyuu Kyou Abilities:

• Unlimited Black Key Count: Iwamine's Black Key count is upped to a nigh-unlimited amount. As long as he can get his hand on some form of Spiritual Energy, he can create a near-endless amount of Black Keys.
  
• Sacraments: All of Iwamine's Sacraments are no longer done on a by-count limitation. Now, they are done by post. Each one can only be used twice per three post.
  
• Enhanced Baptism Rite: Iwamine's Baptism Rite now increases his abilities fivefold for four posts per every four posts with a 1/3 power drop while recharging.
  
• Enhanced Endurance: Iwamine is now capable of taking a walnut handle pistol whip to an injured arm and still reach back and punch you with the same arm.
  
• Enhanced Speed: Iwamine's speed is capable of matching a Triple Accel Kiritsugu Emiya, meaning he can move at three times his normal speed.
  

Alter Appearance: Iwamine's Alter is not much of a change. His hair turns white and his eyes red. His outfit turns into something closer to a a monk's garb mixed with his priest's uniform. It has a white sash as a belt, as well as a popped collar.


Alter Personality: Iwamine's Alter only has one minor change in personality. In fact, it's quite funny. Iwamine's Alter talks... less than Iwamine normally would... if that's possible.

Alter Powers: Iwamine's Alter has his Kyuu Kyou's Unlimited Black Key Count, and that is it.

Character Background: Iwamine was born to an unknown mother and a priest father. His father, Iwamine Kotoba, tried to raise his son to be normal. But ever since birth, Hisoka never felt "pleasure." He could not feel true "happiness." His father did not teach him that by reading him religious texts and screaming "PLEASURE IS SIN." No, it was born inside Iwamine. Nothing about him was filled with happiness. Nothing inside him could feel that.
The priests in his village were also executors, which meant they destroyed heretics upon request of the higher ups. They were paid under the table so the higher-ups could not be tied to them in case something went wrong. And that's what Iwamine was trained to do. To go through and take down these heretics upon orders. He felt no love, he felt no hatred. He felt no remorse as he learned more and more of his task. Death meant nothing to him. It was natural. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes; we all return to nothing,so why did Hisoka need to feel remorse for speeding that process up? And so, Hisoka trained. He stabbed trees until his hands bled. He punched stone until his bones broke. It all meant nothing to him. He would get to the step before complete mastery... then immediately switch to another thing to work on.
His father was none the wiser to Iwamine's inability to experience joy. Instead, Kotoba thought his son was gaining pleasure by learning many things. However, Kotoba was dead wrong. Hisoka went on many hunts, executing or capturing the target as requested. Collateral damage meant nothing to him. Of course, Hisoka rarely caused collateral damage. His target was in his sights, and that is all that he zoned in on. Target after target, no one survived Hisoka's weapons.

And then, he stopped. He was about to take his father's position as head executor, but he simply quit. Yes, it was simply something else he did not want to be praised for. And thus, Hisoka disappeared. He wandered on Earth for years, eventually being confronted by a man who could be him in ten years appearance-wise. He called himself "Heroism" and wore priest's garb as well. He could feel the potential within Hisoka, and thus challenged him to a "test." Hisoka fought dozens upon dozens of mindless creatures, defeating each and every one with his bare hands. Upon completion, Heroism smirked slightly. Heroism took hundreds of years to train Hisoka to be more efficient with his body with a martial art known as Bājíquán.
Hisoka trained so intently with Heroism, that he transcended the external part of Bājíquán, turning it into his own style. His style was hilariously called "Super Bājíquán" by Heroism, as it was now an internal art. It was then that Hisoka learned of an ability passed on through his blood: Command Seals. His father used them to up his physical power for tough situations, and he had passed the art down to his son unbeknownst to Hisoka. Heroism detected a hidden ability, which was the Command Seals, and told Hisoka. It was a shock the former executor. He then tested out a chant his father told him, which was his chant. Heroism knew the reply, and he accepted. And thus, Hisoka gained his first set of Command Seals. Heroism disappeared the day after, pleased with the result.

Hisoka returned to the Sugiura Realm. He was unknown at this time, which allowed for him to stroll through villages and not raise suspicion. And that is when he met her, Kyrie. Kyrie never told him her last name, but she immediately found interest in Hisoka's personality. Everything about his emptiness intrigued her... and she wanted to show that he could still enjoy happiness. However, even after their marriage, nothing changed him. She stopped taking her medicine in secret, allowing her illness to spread. And because of that, she died not many years after they married. Hisoka shed tears over her, as she was still his wife. It was at her funeral pyre that he found out who she really was.

A pale woman with red eyes and white hair, escorted by strong soldiers attended her funeral. The woman was the first Queen of the Sugiura and the first Queen of the East: Shimura Sugiura. She paid her respects to her sister, who was the woman Hisoka had married. Yes, Kyrie was the youngest of Shimura's siblings. She then said her condolences to Hisoka, where his empty replies intrigued her as well. However, it was a different kind of intrigue. She was moreso like a kid in a candy store than a doctor seeing a new disease. And so, she allowed Hisoka to train under her to learn the ways of the Sugiura magic. Hisoka saw no need to decline. It was simply something else for him to work on. His first day with Shimura, she brought her sister back to life as a Guardian Beast. It was almost-perfect. Kyrie was bound to Hisoka by Shimura. He then made a contract with Shimura as payment for bringing Kyrie back and taking him under her wing. And thus, Iwamine Hisoka is still under Shimura's wing... much to her husband's dismay.
