Name:Nihachi Juunjigata
Age:16
GenderMale
Nationality:Japanese/American
Occupation:Student, Musician
Magic LevelC
Magic/Psychic:Alchemy
Elemental: Fire-While he is unable to generate large amounts of fire he is able to control it well and concentrate it in small areas, allowing for explosions to form. He enjoys combining the fire with his alchemical creations in order to create more volatile reactions.
Appearance: He’s about 5’6, short compared to his father and incredibly skinny, possibly from his smoking. His skin is a mix between his father’s Caucasian and mother’s olive skin tone. His eye shape is a mix between his parents, making him look like a careful hybrid between the West and East and he has his father’s blue eyes. His hair is light brown and kept purposefully messy.
He generally wears a untucked white button down shirt and black cotton pants. He wears black hiking boots most of the time, though on the rare occasions where he chooses to dress up he puts on loafers and at least makes at attempt to tame his hair.
Personality:He’s generally very laid back and is considered by most people to be somewhat of a slacker. However he is very talented in many areas and when he finds something he enjoys he pursues it actively. As the subject of magic greatly appeals to him he is rapidly delving into the subject, taking as many courses he can to round things out.
He’s also a hopeless flirt, hitting on any girl who manages to catch his interest. He doesn’t see much point in trying to make long term relationships, a byproduct of his parent’s conflicts. However he doesn’t lead girls on and is completely honest about what he wants.
He is also unabashedly a firebug. He enjoys seeing things go up in flames and takes particular joy in creating particularly nasty explosions. He also enjoys sneaking out to smoke and drink and is a complete sensualist.
History:His mother is a elemental magician who fell in love with a musician. After they married she let him on her secret and he was completely freaked out. Though they tried to keep it together a few years after Nihachi was born they divorced and his father moved back to America. When he turned eight he went to live with his father in the U.S., leaving his mother when she remarried.
His father was not an academic and while he didn’t find classes, except for English, very hard. Instead he chose to study music, learning to play the bass guitar because he thought it made him look cool. When he first entered High School he started to play in a few bands where he picked up his smoking habit. One day while taking chemistry lab he managed to take a completely safe reaction and make it incredibly volatile, accidently blowing up a the lab.
His father realized what this meant so he called Nihachi’s mother and sent him back to Japan so he could be taught. Soon afterward he realized that when concentrating he could manipulate how fast his cigarettes burned, providing him a near constant method of practice. He found that while he is not able to generate large amounts of flame he is capable of compression the fire into an very small area, allowing him to create a remote detonation point for many compounds which require a high activation energy.
Rp Sample Nihachi tossed over in his bed, half-awake as remnants of dreams floated in his head. Erim briefly looked his way before tucking his beak behind his black-feathered wing and returning to sleep.
Nihachi slowly closed his eyes, drifting back into slumber when the first tinge of sulfer tickled his nose. His eyes shot back open as he looked at the devestation around him.
"So, you're finally here" came a voice which had haunted his dreams, "I was beginning to think that you weren't going to make it."
"You!" shouted Nihachi, picking himself from up from the hard ground, "You brought me here? What do you want?"
The source of the voice raised a black arm, the edges fading slightly as it moved, and shook his finger back and forth.
"Now, is that any way to address an old friend like me, is it. You even came to visit me in my home."
"Friend?" asked Nihachi incredulously, "I don't even know who you are. I don't even know what you are."
The shifting figure seemed to sigh, "This is certainly disheartening. And I thought we could begin to make real progress."
"Tell. Me. What. You. Are." Commanded Nihachi through gritted teeth, Crow's Wing appearing across his back. He raced toward the figure, spinning a pace away, drawing the top kodachi and swinging it in a downward arc as he pulled the second out of it's sheath, ready to be thrust into his opponent.
There was a metallic ring as the first blade crashed against the sheath of a sword. The figure spun the long sheath and parried the thust, pushing Nihachi passed him.
Nihachi looked back as the figure's features sharpened.
It can't be...
"You really don't know who I am, do you? Young men like us, we tend to forget things don't we." Said the figure, his face practically a mirror image of Nihachi's own as he pulled at both ends of his sheath, taking out two kodachi. "You can call me Fukusen. I'm your Shadow."
