APPEARANCE

HEIGHT

WEIGHT
215lbs

EYES
Red

HAIR
Black

Sozen stands at six foot two, weighing in at two-hundred and fifteen pounds of solid muscle. Sozen relies on his body, unlike shinobi who rely on petty ninjutsu to get the job done. His complexion is naturally tanned, having mixed parentage with darker skin. His hide is marred with large, scarred patches, the most noticeable of which is a large patch across the left side of his face. His eyes are a cold crimson with small irises. Sozen's hair is black and is worn one of two ways: either with the front spiked backwards out of his face, or loose hanging in front of it, debating on if he was assed to style it or not. Weaved into the hair at the base of his neck, Sozen wears soft feathers of all kinds without fail. These feathers, he feels, marks his worth as a man. Each feather signifies an accomplishment he's made in his life, and upon his promotion to Colonel is when he added the skinned tail of the tanuki.

Sozen's clothes tend to vary, but he sticks with blacks and whites, not opting for anything colorful most times. He wears long-sleeved button shirts underneath a black overshirt with black pants and black shoes. Underneath the black overshirt (but over the white one) he wears a fitted protective flak, a dingy dark-grey in color. A white belt is tied around his waist, and from the back he suspends his tachi.

When he's in his full armor, Sozen possesses a rounded helmet with two pointed horns. It falls in back to protect his neck and has a removable faceplate that has an built-in radio as well as a respirator that aids in combat against poison gases and breathing under water for short periods of time. He doesn't always wear this helmet, however. He has segemented plate-armor that protects the shoulders, chest, upper back, lower sides, and thighs. The faulds possess four slots for swords to be mounted, but they are not generally used for their actual purpose if at all. He also has shin-guards and gauntlets. He will often wear bits and pieces of his armor but rarely will he wear the full armor suit unless he's preparing for something big. The armor he is not wearing is held in a sealing scroll, each piece under its own seal within the scroll.

HISTORY

Sozen was born a product of a fling between a samurai woman and a shinobi man. Somewhat of a Romeo and Juliet story, the differences in their beliefs kept them apart. However instead of ending in death, the man gave up, the hostility from the woman's family far outweighing his love for Miyoshi Tomoe. Because of this, Sozen was born a bastard child with dirtied blood into the world of the samurai.

Sozen was too young to understand the passive aggressive behavior towards him as he grew. Only the Miyoshi family knew of the father's origins, so only they knew of his dirtied blood, and only they acted so presumptuously around him. All he knew is that he met that aggression back in kind, head-first. He grew up bratty, he grew up disciplined, and he grew up strong.

Sozen was, of sorts, a bully in the classroom. He liked to feel he was superior in power. He wanted to be better than everyone else. He wouldn't let the rumors his family spread about him amongst eachother shape their opinion of him. He knew they were talking about him when they said “bastard.” He heard the words they said about him. How he couldn't amount to anything as a proud samurai. He'd show them, he'd show them all.

One evening, young Sozen had been training alone, all of nine years old, slamming his bokken against a tree. He didn't want to train around the other students, no. It wasn't because he felt outcasted or picked on, but instead, he didn't want them to see how he trained and fought and how he grew. When it would come time to spar together, he could kick their asses in the satisfaction that they would never see it coming. As he was training, an approaching presence alerted his attention, and he stopped swinging, the crack of the bokken against the bruised trunk of the small tree the last sound to be heard for a few long, wary moments.

There was a man. There was nothing familiar about this man, but the shining band of metal protecting this man's forehead, with an unfamiliar symbol carved into it. A shinobi. The child held up his wooden blade, hackles raised, backing away from the sapphire eyes that bore into him. The man said one thing, and one thing only.

“You have your mother's eyes.”

At the time, the young samurai didn't know what it meant; no, in fact, it frightened him. This man was a shinobi, an enemy. And he knew Sozen's mother. But then he was gone. Sozen backed away and slipped, falling into the snow that blanketed the land of Iron. The man had vanished right before his scarlet eyes. The only thing that kept the boy from fleeing immediately was the sound of a scratchy, squeaky reow coming from the trees.

The shinobi was gone, so the child followed the incessant sounds of an animal crying. He almost hadn't seen it at first, but in a bush, there was a white cub with pale grey stripes sat shivering in the snow with a note. “My name is Sparkles, please treat me well.” Sparkles? Sparkles. When saying the name aloud, the cub responded weakly. Even as an admittedly cruel child, Sozen couldn't leave this small cub named “Sparkles” out in the snow, and stuffed the furball into his coat. He had a feeling that the shinobi had something to do with the animal's appearance, but it wasn't important now, just getting the cub home was.

As Sozen grew, he tried to change the name of the cub. Who named such a beast “Sparkles”? But, no matter what he tried, the feline only responded to “Sparkles.” Resigning to this, Sozen referred to the beast as “Spark.” By the time Sozen had graduated school, Spark had grown into a massive maned beast covered in pale grey stripes. A liger. As such, at twelve years old, Sozen had attained the rank of “private” with a magnificent fighting beast at his side.








Sozen was born.

Some things happened and he graduated samurai school. He got His liger during this time as an itty bitty furball.

He was a private and then there were shinobi who came to assassinate other samurai. He got in the middle of it and got blasted with a combination of katon and fuuton.

Hatred for shinobi in general, because fuck shinobi, samurai are waaay better.

Decides to start collecting his feathers and work harder and become better, someone who won't be beaten like that again when trying to save one of his own.

His bitterness from that event brought forth a trait from is father, who was a shinobi and had run off, and affinity for katon which he was unable to control, but massive chakra reserves meant it leaked whenever his emotions weren't in check.

As he fought harder and his swords continually broke, he would get continually angrier. He needed a blade that was powerful enough for him.

At seventeen he was out on a mercenary job and came across a man with a powerful blade of fire. That blade looked strong enough to suit his needs.

Challenging the man proved that he would not give the blade up with a petty "please," and the two engaged in a hideous battle that nearly cost Sozen his life. However, he had survived with his prize: Shishikiba, the lion's fang of fire. He;d only come out knowing the name of the blade but not of the lore.

He became a danger to himself and his peers, but was never really considered a liability; he was quite loyal to sanrou and the samurai of tetsu no kuni. He was just too aggressive. He wanted more. What he had wasnt enough. He was antsy, he was anxious. When he became a colonel, he added a tanuki's tail to his adornments. He wanted to be stronger, to be the absolute best. A legend. He wanted to roam and gather knowledge.

When he was twenty, he addressed his supreme commander and achieved permission for this excursion. He obtained a personal-use messenger hawk to keep in contact with his country. A seal had been placed on the bird to be able to detect sozen's katon chakra and locate him, but he will rarely travel without the bird with him (meaning he will stay in one place while messages are being delivered).

He is currently on a journey of enlightenment, so to speak, seeking ways to learn to better himself and become a man of great power.

SAMURAI INFORMATION

EQUIPMENT

• everything your character carries
• from weapons to odd objects they carry often
• don't forget to say where they keep it
• like the hip pouch, kunai holster,
• totebags and the like.
• don't forget the quantities!

SPECIAL ABILITIES

• FLAMES OF RAGE

When Sozen is feeling particular powerful emotions, such as anger or grief, his katon chakra nature will "leak," so to speak. Anything he uses his chakra in will become permeated with katon chakra and more often than not it will light ablaze. This is most noticeable when he executes his sword skills, the chakra waves becoming waves of flame, but he's also been known to scorch things on contact, flames collecting in his very palms. He has little control of these flames however, and the more upset he is, the less control he has.
