Beast Sugiura Template
Basics
Name: Jiànyǔ Guāngzhū (建宇光朱)
True Age: Sources put him between 3,700 and 3,500
Gender: Male
Personality: Jianyu does not speak. He does not speak because he's afraid he might hurt someone. Jianyu does not speak because he knows he will. He knows his talents would be wasted on someone who would treat it as an insult rather than a treat. Yes, Jianyu only knows one thing: pain. He can kill, but never directly. He can heal, but never quickly. He loves pain in all its forms. Mental, physical, verbal... it all brings him joy. In fact, that's the only thing that can bring him joy.
However, it's not the pain altogether that gives him joy. No, it's the aftermath. It's the screams. It's the blood. It's everything that happens when someone is in pain that brings him joy. He is a sadist in its purest sense. However, his definition of joy and Merriam-Webster's definition are far from the same thing. To be quite honest, what he feels as joy is not what we'd feel as joy, but rather accomplishment. Whenever he causes pain, he feels as though he has done the right thing. When he hears screams, it's like a job well done. And that is all Jianyu feels. Due to his past, he was never able to experience anything properly. He was taught nothing more than to do his job, which he did not do well. And so to do something right for a change is the only thing close to joy he can feel.
General Appearance
Appearance: (A picture will suffice here, otherwise a paragraph on their overall appearance and another on their clothing)

Natural Abilities
Techinques: This is where you post what your guardian beast allows you to do, whether it be elemental or spiritual. Each guardian beast holds a power over a certain element or something you can control.
Magic: The Sugiura's have a list of their own Magic they use as well as Shinigami Kidō, you can have up to a bit of Kidō but not every single part of it, also mix it between the magic and Kidō. They cannot be a Kidō master, but can be quite talented at it. however a sugiura could be a master at their magic spells of course. depending on the the type that is.
Sacred Weapon: A weapon of power that a Sugiura is born with,is able to summon and is able to train with. Doing so unlocks each different stage of its power as well as giving them a proverbial list of ablities to play around with, such as shikai/bankai-type moves.
Other Weapons: What type of weapons does your character carry other than their sacred?
Guardian Beast
Origin: Pain.
Beast Joushou
Joushou Appearance:
Joushou: Joushou is the first stage of a Sugiura's power. This is like their Shikai. It is only tapping into a small percentage of their power, exactly 25%. It is mainly the form that they dream of, and it is up to the Guardian beast to decide if the wish is to be granted or not.
Beast Zenou
Zenou Appearance: In his Zenou, his appearance does change. While not very drastic, there is a change, mainly in his wardrobe. His hair shortens to his neck, though one can't tel that thanks to his new coat. His coat's collar is always popped up, though it is unknown if it can be popped down. It has a very thick black fur lining around the neck, shoulders, bottom, pockets, and sleeves. However, his most dangerous aspect of his clothing is that around the bottom, up the front, around the sleeves, and on his gloves... there are countless 2-inch-by-2-inch square pyramid-like protrusions made of steel. They act like body armor, a defense against hand-to-hand moves, and as a weapon. His gloves and pants are also special, as they are closer to a blue than a black. The gloves have seams going down the middle of each finger that dip inwards. This is to allow blood to flow off nice and smooth. It can be said this is closer to what Jianyu would look like in his later years.
Zenou Abilities: This form is their version of Bankai. This takes many years to learn, and then many many more to perfect. This is only tapping into 50% of their power. Their speed, strength, stamina, and durability increases quite a bit.
Beast Kyuu Kyou
Kyuu Kyou Appearance:
Kyuu Kyou Abilities: The final stage of a Sugiura's power. This is 100% of their power, and their soul. Their abilities are increased substantially, and most of the time Kyuu Kyou is forbidden to be released. Few have mastered it, for it is so taxing to release it. It is manifested as the true form of one's soul.
Past & Roleplay Sample
Character Background:
Jianyu was born after the height of the Shang Dynasty, or so he says. He can not give you an exact year, but he knows a rough estimate of when he was born. He remembers what job he was given from birth: to heal. He had a "curse" which the emperor said made him "improper" to work on his palaces. The curse was being left-handed. And it was because of that curse that he was forced to become "right with the gods" by healing others. The oracles said by doing good deeds, he could be saved. There was only one problem: Jianyu could not heal anyone or anything.
No matter what Jianyu did, he could not heal anyone. In fact, his medicinal practices were scorned as being cursed. Why? Because no matter what injury or disease the peasants came in with, they died. It could be a simple gash in the leg and their bodies would die within an hour of his treatment. The oracles called it a "touch of death," and referred him to be an assassin for the emperor. And so, Jianyu became an assassin. However, he could not kill.
To be specific, he could not kill as quickly as others thought. Jianyu would only cause excruciating pain, and that would somehow kill the target. This was beyond the days of modern medicine, but the truth was Jianyu was killing indirectly. The pain he caused was so severe, it sent the body into hypovolemic shock (shock caused by the loss of blood). It wouldn't be like cutting someone's jugular in two, but rather making a hole in it. This would cause the person's blood pressure to drop, resulting in a fast-acting case of hypovolemic shock. And this set him up for his next job for the emperor: human sacrifices.
Jianyu would perform the necessary "medical" treatment for the slow-acting sacrifices. This was perfect for Jianyu, as he could easily keep a person alive for days after his treatments. His longest surviving case of this was an 80-year-old oracle's assistant. He somehow survived for two months even with infection setting in. The oracles said it was because he had accumulated "great life force" over the years. And so this continued until the fall of the Shang Dynasty many centuries later. The total count of the Shang Dynasty's human sacrifices is around 13,000. It is unknown how many Jianyu did.
Now, why did Jianyu survive that long? That lies in his blood. While he was still an assassin, Jianyu was bitten by a desert asp whose species has never been identified. Truth be told, it was actually a manifestation of chi that had become a self-aware monster. It bit him, enhancing his chi cycling. To be more precise, it slowed it to a near-halt. This cycling slowed down his aging to a near-halt, as well as his blood flow, heartbeat, and breathing. This allowed him to live for hundreds of years past that.
It wasn't until the end of the Zhou dynasty that Jianyu died. It was not because of old age, it was because of war. A tribe from the northern part of China raided a village Jianyu was collecting sacrifices from. He was killed by a strange arrow which glowed like a star. He claims he saw hell's gates open in front of him as he laid dying. He would have accepted that, but fate had a warmer, gentler plan for him. Though it felt like someone was ripping out his spine, he was absorbed into a white light.
