Name: Samuel Sage
Nicknames: Sammy, Peacy
Titles: Maeda Keiji/Maeda Toshimasu
True Age: 800ish
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Personality:



Warrior
Samuel is a warrior, first and foremost. He is very skilled with a weapon, and knows how to use it. He is confident, but not stupid; he has a rare sense of wisdom. He is willing to use force to defend himself and to try to help those he cares about; even if it implies using it against those whom he loves. He fights for his beliefs as much as he possibly can, and greatly dislikes those who fight unfairly.

Wisdom
He is intelligent in a unique way. That way is the fact that he has this quality called common sense. This quality enables him to realize what things are utterly stupid to do, and more importantly, how people will react to things he says and does. He doesn't like fighting, but he knows which people he should respect. He is very polite, and tries never to make conflict.

Happy-Go-Lucky
If he had his choice, he would never do anything all day. Which is what he typically does. Most of the time he spends his days wandering, going from place to place to seek out things to attempt to calm down the world through communication. He loves it when people are able to simply love and be happy with one another, two things which bring a wide smile to his face no matter what the time of day. He dislikes doing combat, but will do so to defend himself.

Empath
He is a MAJOR empath. He feels bad for other people when they are sad and hurting, and feels great around people who are happy and cheery. He gives people his support whenever he can, even if he doesn't know them. Giving positivity to other people is the thing which he likes to do most in the world. He enjoys helping people fall in love, making new friends, creating peaceful situations, and will even sometimes run huge risks or do things with his own life in danger so that other people can be happy.

This is because of the flip side of his Empathy. When people feel bad, he shares their pain. He feels horrible and wishes he could have done something to prevent it, and always wants to try to be there for that person to make them feel better. Even if they are being stubborn at talking to him, he will still try and try to talk to them and make them feel better, or find a solution to the situation. And when he himself is the cause of the strife going on in the person's life...

He become utterly helpless and lost.

Natural  Abilities

Natural Techinques:

First Movement: Love Confession
The first attack of his is a gigantic sweeping slash, which knocks away everything around him. He can perform this attack up to twelve times, each time shooting the blade farther out around himself and at a faster pace, until it reaches at its full length all around him after two seconds.

Second Moment: Magnificent Momennt
Directly following the First Movement, Samuel takes twelve steps forwards, making gigantic steps as he moves forwards, pulling himself on his sword to move himself faster towards his opponent with each slash and pulling himself in that milisecond before it comes out of hte ground to go faster and faster, again taking only two seconds to complete all the slashes.

Third Movement: Love Letter
This final movement of the attack, this movement consists of twelve side steps around the opponent, smashing them at 12 polar points around their body, before stopping as he holds the blade high above their head, before slamming it down in an attempt to give them a concussion. The sheer force of this attack sends his legs into the air, and can knock out even higher level beings if they are hit with the full force of it.

Other Weapons:

Great Sword Technique
At all times, Samuel carries a massive sword with him. This massive sword either looks like a claymore or a giant katana, depending on if he's in his shifter or true apperance. Either way, this blade is unique. It does not damage and cut things it hits; but rather damages them, slamming into them with a massive amount of force. After all, Samuel is not a killer. He is a subduer, perhaps, but a killer is one thing he detests and detests being.

Guardian Beast

Element:

God of Communication
Samuel is the ultimate communicator. Whenever he is making a point, a person will be able to one hundred percent, completely understand what he is telling them. They will be able to see the reasons he wants them to see for his motives, and will understand why he is giving it to them. Similarly, he understands everything that he is told, through body language and normal speech, even tone of voice. He never misses a thing; and always gets his point across. This means that while people may still be against him and argue with him, they are never against him because of miscommunication or confusion. This quality also allows him to make perfect sense to people who are confused, or even people with multiple personalites or whom are insane.

Soul Communication
This is the ability that allows him to connect with other people even if they are insane or have multiple personalities. He completely opens up his soul to that person in exchange for access to that persons soul. As such, he can communicate with them and see their desires plainly, unless they have a grandmaster mental deduction and are able to even hide things within their soul.

However, this ability has a backside to it as well. If what a person believes is too strong, or goes factually against something Samuel believes, it can break his very soul, damaging him more then any blade or person would ever be able to normally, and leave him completely void of mental functions until his soul recovers, essentially going through a "Mind Crush."

Untainted

Untainted Appearance: 

This is the only form that Samuel has earned so far. In this form, he is forced out of his shifter state, turning into his True Appearance. This causes him to don extremely extravagent clothes, grow three feathers from the back of his head, and grow his hair out extremely long.

Untainted Abilities:

Communion of Souls
This is the only ability that Samuel has in his Untained form thus far, as he has never worked on it or trained it or tried in any way, shape, or form to improve it. This ability is extremely, extremely simple. What this does is allows Samuel to speak to anything which could be termed "Being". Either with a rabbit, an ant, a god, Existence itself... whatever it is, his voice can speak to it as long as they are within himself with the force of Soul Communication.

Character Background:

WikiPedia Says:

Maeda Toshimasu (前田 利益?, 1533? - 1612), better known as Maeda Keiji (前田慶次?) or Keijirō (慶次郎), was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku Period through early Edo Period. Toshimasu was born in the village of Arako(present-day Nakagawa-ku, Nagoya), Toshimasu was born to the Takigawa Clan, originally the son of Takigawa Kazumasu. He was adopted by Maeda Toshihisa, the older brother of Maeda Toshiie. Toshimasu served under Oda Nobunaga along with his uncle. Toshimasu was originally intended to inherit Maeda family headship; however, after Oda Nobunaga replaced Toshihisa with Toshiie as Maeda family head, he lost this position. Perhaps because of this loss of inheritance, Toshimasu is well known for not getting along with his uncle.[citation needed]

While in Kyoto, Toshimasu met and befriended Naoe Kanetsugu, Uesugi Kagekatsu's karō. The two became close friends. Consequently, Toshimasu agreed to join Kanetsugu in the Uesugi clan's invasion of Aizu. During the retreat from the failed invasion, Keiji was given the task of leading the rear guard. Riding his horse Matsukaze into battle and brandishing a two-pronged spear, he made a splendid show of force. Due in part to Toshimasu's actions, the Uesugi forces were able to retreat largely intact.

After this, Toshimasu returned to the capital and devoted himself to arts and literature. Keiji was barred from Toyotomi’s Kyushu campaign for his wild way. When the Tokugawa challenged the Uesugi in 1600, he once again fought with Uesugi’s army. In the battle against the Mogami, he broke through the enemy lines with only eight riders, and shattered their formation.[citation needed] After the Uesugi clan's move to the Yonezawa Domain, Toshimasu remained with them, serving as a retainer.

Keiji's armor can still be seen today at the Miyasaka Museum.

Samuel was not brought back to be a warrior. Rather, he was brought back to talk to a Eastern sugiuran student of literature. He told the man all about the things that happened at that time, and the man accepted all the information easily. Due to Samuel's weak legend, all the man needed to do was drop three pieces of his blood to summon him.

After he was summoned, he was left there. He had no idea what he was supposed to do, or where he was supposed to go. So he decided to take up something he had always wanted to do in life; and that was to wander. So he began to wander. He watched the history of the Sugiura unfold before himself, wanting to explore this new land in the body he now possessed, a Heroic Spirit of the Beast class, one who still had feathers on his body and could barely maintain a human form.

As he went down to the earth, he began to change. He wanted to explore the planet once again, all of it this time, and his form began to change as he took on the appearance of a young man of that time, able to blend in with the people of that time period. And so it was that he continued to wander, and wander, and most recently, his travels have taken him to one of the last safe places in all of the planet...

Karakura City.
