"It look like we got a choice?"
Takehiro smiled. Despite the odds, he was rather invigorated with the opportunity to fight, even if it was a small thing like this. He took a small moment to center himself before taking his spear by it's butt-end and stabbing it into the ground. Knuckles popped, he eyed the circle around them. Ten guys against two... not too bad.
Putting his dukes up, Takehiro motioned for his opponents to approach him. One of the five stepped forward, slicing his katana toward Takehiro's face, and the mercenary responded by ducking underneath it, taking the back of his opponent's head, and slapping his forehead into the spear which protruded from the ground. Needless to say, he was out in one hit.
"Come on, Tokugawa loyalists!"
Two more of the men charged, both of them bringing their blades up and slicing down toward Takehiro's head. In turn, he crouched, picking up the downed man's katana, parrying as he brought the blade up above his head. He slid forward, bring the butt of the blade and crashing it into one of the men's kidney's, flooring him. Then he stood, quickly head-butting the other man's chin, knocking him over and leaving only two men left with his half.
"You guys really need to work on your attitudes."

The sound of bones cracking was always interesting. Takehiro turned his head back to see who all the fuss was about - the Sanada boy, was it? The damn kid helped instigate the situation, smashing in a Tokugawa's supporter's nose. That couldn't quell the hostilities in a naturally hostile village, and it only served to make tensions grow even more... tense.
"Don't you think that was a little much, buddy?" Takehiro stepped over the body of the downed Tokugawa supporter, stopping before the Sanada guy. He shook his head before looking the guy in the eyes. "Now I know they started it, but you're not helping much -" "TAKEDA SUPPORTERS HAVE NO PLACE HERE!" Takehiro was interrupted by a another angry man, who struck the back of his head. He would have fallen on top of the Sanada boy had he not caught himself.
"Alright, you shit heads, you wanna go?!" An adrenaline rush seared through Takehiro's body as he whirled around, striking all of the men around him with the butt end of his spear.

Long nights of travel had paid a heavy toll on the mercenary, and it was because of this that Takehiro found himself resting in a small village, just between Tokugawa and Takeda territory. Despite being so small, the village's location did very little to make conditions livable, creating a rift in the peoples' loyalties. Half the village favored Takeda, half Tokugawa, and this built tension quickly. It was as if a barrier was placed at the center of the village, dividing it, and any little thing would set it off. A small, potential battlefield.
Takehiro strode through the village, spear across his shoulders, arms resting atop the spear. Many people glanced over at him, and he could immediately tell what they were thinking: "Does he favor Takeda or Tokugawa?" Rather than give off any hints, the mercenary opted to make his lack of favor toward either party.
Entering a small tavern, Takehiro found a billboard with several odd-jobs posting. While he observed it, a small rumble started forming behind him. All he could here was the shouting of factions, "Takeda!" "Tokugawa!"
Oh boy.

Name: Amakusa Takehiro Faction: Amakusa Ethnicity: Japanese Age: 27 Gender: Male Height: 5'7'' Weight: 140 lbs Eye Color: Brown Hair Color: Black Appearance:Takehiro is a very well-built man, whose physique is wonderful. He isn't so bulky as he is toned, and while he is smaller than other soldiers, he can certainly keep up with their strength. An advantage to his smaller size is that it allows him to be more nimble. There is one scar across Takehiro's back from a training accident. It extends from his left shoulder blade, all the way down to his waist. This is his only scar. Otherwise, his body is pure. Personality: Takehiro, like so many others in this time of conflict, is a warrior at heart. Battle is where he belongs, and because of this, he finds times of peace hard to live through. Without a battle to fight, he finds himself almost useless, and this is why he's taken to mercenary work. There's always a battle to be fought, and people are always willing to pay for help. Despite being a merc, money is the least of Takehiro's troubles. He is a very giving man, taking pity on the poor, and doing what he can to provide for them. Generally, half of his earnings will be spent on food for the less fortunate. Friends are hard to come by in Takehiro's line of work. He will usually have comrades for one battle who become enemies the next, and that's just the gig he's got to deal with. Because of this, he's grown emotionally distant from people. He'll hardly ever open up to people. Though, he won't ever turn down a good conversation. History: Takehiro doesn't have a tragic history behind him, and he has no particular reason to be angsty. His family is slightly dysfunctional, but whose isn't? His home life is pretty normal, and so it's had very little bearing on who he is as a person. Some of Takehiro's warrior spirit comes from his father, who is a retired samurai formerly in the employ of the Hojo. The man was a fierce warrior, and some of that seems to have passed onto his son, but this seems to be all the two have in common. What led Takehiro to be the man he was, was just the way of life at the time. Most men were expected to be fighters, and so he was caught in the fray. He was brought up being told he had to fight for something, and so he always did. Because of this, he's found himself doing mercenary work for random Daimyos. Stats: Strength: 10 Dexterity: 10 Constitution: 10 (15) Wisdom: 10 Musou: 10 Musou: Darkness manipulation. Takehiro gains the ability to manipulate the element of darkness. This element bypasses all Con boosts from items, and attacks straight base Con. VARIOUS MUSOU TECHNIQUES***MORE CAN BE LEARNED AT ANY TIME*** Dark Ball: Takehiro forms a ball of Dark energy in his hand. He can use this to strike an enemy dealing damage equal to his Spirit stat. If he were to strike the ground, he would deal damage equal to 1/2 his Spirit stat to anyone within a 10 yard radius from the blast. Dark Poison: Anyone struck by Takehiro while using his Musou is left with a dark poison seeping from the wound. This poison lingers for three posts, doing 1/2 Takehiro's Spirit stat for each post. This ability is stackable. Dark Doppelganger: Takehirocan summon a doppelganger of pure darkness with stats equal to his Spirit. The doppelganger is constantly in Musou, dealing Dark damage with all of its attacks, and has Takehiro's equipment and abilities. Lasts one post for every 5 Spirit. Inventory:| Slot | Item(s) | | Weapons | | | Primary | Item Name: Takehi-Bow
Materials: Iron (1) Wood (1) Cloth (1)
Stats: +5 Str
Description: Two-hand when fired. This crossbow is large and requires both hands to wield due to its kick. It bears the Mon of the Amakusa near its handle.
Power: This crossbow is custom made, and outfitted so that it is capable of holding two bolts at a single time, and any bolts will fit. These bolts will fire simultaneously. In addition, it is fitted well so that reloading doesn't take too long.
| | Secondary | Item Name: Flame Blade
Materials: Steel (1) Demon Medallion (1)
Stats: +5 Str
Description: One-hand. This blade is made to be used by the strongest of men, and even then, only those with spiritual attunement are capable of lifting it. The blade is large, but without its flame, it remains dull and boring. However, the more it grows in strength, the sharper and fiercer it becomes. Requires 25 Base Str and 25 Base Spr to wield.
Power: This blade calls upon the kinetic energy of the earth itself, and without it, it cannot be used to its full potential. While touching any surface that is not the wielder itself, the blade draws from the planet's energy and becomes lit on fire, the strength of which is determined by the user.
No Flame: Sword deals 1/2 its Str value.
Sword Touching Ground for 1 Post: Sword deals Str equal to its regular Str value.
Two Posts + = Sword gains Str boost equal to 1/10 user's total Spr stat. This ability may stack up to ten posts.
The blade cannot strike and gain flame strength both within the same post. They must be done in separate rounds.
Additionally, the user can expel the flame from the blade with a powerful explosion that deals twice the Str the weapon has gained. (So if the fire has been building for three posts, it'll be at 15 Str, and may deal an explosive backlash of 30) However, this will deplete the blade's energy, and recharging it will take twice as long. (The above charging rubric would be doubled for the same output [i.e. 2 posts to get to it's base Str, 4 posts+ adds 1/10 the user's total Spr. Still stacks at 10 posts])
Despite resembling a flame, this energy is purely kinetic, and deals non-elemental damage.
| | Back | Takehiro's BADASS GLAIVE: *UPGRADE TWICE* Two-hand. This glaive is incredibly powerful, being forged by the finest Totomi blacksmiths. Aside from being made with the most powerful steel in Japan, it seems there is a mystic quality to this glaive, binding it to Takehiro's soul. The handle for the glaive alone is six feet, and the blade is four feet high and two feet long. On either side of the blade, the Mon of the Amakusa is etched into the steel. Anything this blade cannot cut through, it will crush. +43 Str. Requires 30 base Str to wield.
Power: 1) This glaive can become engulfed in flames, dealing fire damage with each swing.
2) The blade can create a doppelganger of pure illusion to distract foes. It is not affected by any events, other than the user's own mental control. The copy lasts 1 post per 5 total Spr. Cannot affect the world (i.e. cause harm). While this power is in affect, the user's weapon becomes invisible.
| | Legs | Demon Sabatons: *THREE UPGRADES* Demon Medallion (1) Glass (1) Steel (1) These sabatons are incredibly large and heavy, almost incapable of being wielded by most people. There are blades along the feet that are sharp and can cut through most objects with ease, and the steel on them is incredibly durable. When your hands are busy, these are the perfect weapon. +25 Str when kicking. Requires 25 base Str. to wield.
Power: The blades of these sabatons are laced with a powerful poison that has varying effects. When the blade cuts into someone's flesh and the steel touches their bloodstream, the poison rapidly takes a hold of them, causing them to see illusions. These illusions vary in severity depending on the size of the cut and the amount of uses per thread. They can be as severe as seeing everything around you melting, including yourself, or they can be as simple as seeing three Takehiro's instead of just one. The poison does no physical harm to the one affected, all mental. Effects last three posts | | Head |
| | Helmet/Bandana | Dark Knight's Helmet: This horned helmet makes the wearer appear to look like a demon. Their eyes seem to turn red whenever it is worn, and their skin turns pitch black, radiating some sort of dark, misty energy. +4 Con +2 Wis
Power: Strikes to the head cannot daze the wearer. 1/2 damage taken from all blows to the head.
Good Luck Charm: Meant to protect you in battle. Add on Item: Can be worn in any slot along with another item. +2 Wis +1 Str +1 Con +1 Dex +1 Spr
Sexy Panties: This pair of underwear fills you with great courage on the battlefield! Add-On Item: can be used in any item slot along with another item.+1 Spr
| | Mask | Mask of the Damned: This mask covers the wearer's face completely and has a vacant expression, leaving them to look hollow and miserable.+3 Str +3 Dex | | Earrings | Souls of the Damned: These earrings are embedded with the Mon of Numa Castle.+6 Dex | | Torso | | | Chestplate |
Stalker's Plated Ribs: *UPGRADED ONCE* Chest Add-On. The ribcage of the stalker seems to be like plated armor that molds to the wearer's shape! +6 Con +6 Str +6 Dex
| | Shoulders |
| | Necklace |
| | Kimono | Cloth of the Damned: The design on this kimono is that of the Mon of Numa Castle. When worn, the wearer can feel the lost souls of the castle fighting alongside him. +3 Str +3 Dex | | Arms | | | Arms | Damned Armguards: These guards cover the biceps and triceps, providing maximum protection with dark-steel.+6 Str | | Gauntlets | Rider's Explosive Whip-Fist: *UPGRADED ONCE* The knuckles on these gauntlets are plated with spiked studs, adding an extra oomph to punches. But if you think that's awesome, just look at the power! +7 Str +1 Con +1 Dex +1 Wis +1 Spr
Power: 1) The knuckles on these gloves can shoot out, a wire attached allowing it to be used as a whip. What's more, the blades on the knuckles can pierce through surfaces and stick, allowing them to be useful as a grappling hook, as well as to retrieve things from long distances.
2) The wearer's punches become explosive.
| | Rings | Ring of the Gauntlet: For running the gauntlet as well as you did, you earn a ring to assert your manliness! +3 all stats | | Legs | | | Hakama | Bishamonten's Hakama: +5 Str, +5 Spr. Grants the wearer the ability to walk through fire.
Power: Elemental immunity.
| | Belt | Daddy's Belt: A simple belt made of leather with an iron buckle. Keeps your pants up! +5 Wis
Power: When you pull this belt off and whip someone with it, they're reminded of their dad whipping them when they were little! | | Greaves | Dark Knight's Greaves: Made of dark-steel, these greaves seem to give the wearer full protection for their lower-legs and feet, while also giving them an invigorating sense of speed. +6 Dex
Power: These greaves give the wearer the ability to jump unreasonably far and high. | | Boots | Item Name: Demon Tabi
Materials: Cloth (1)
Stats: +5 Dex
Description: These tabi are so comfortable, it's like rubbing Takehiro's cheeks against your feet! He's got some soft cheeks!
Power: Once per thread, the user can get a speed boost equal to their total spirit for a single post. This speed boost stacks on top of their total dexterity.
| | Miscellaneous | | | - | Item Name: Handy Dandy Quiver
Materials: Cloth (1)
Stats: +5 Dex
Description: This quiver is especially equipped so that it can hold all of Takehiro's bolts and shit without tearing from their weight, and it allows him the easiest access to reloading his crossbow.
Power: This quiver can hold up to five (5) types of special bolts, so they don't take up other inventory slots.
1) Item Name: "LOOK-AT-THAT-EXPLOSION" Bolts
Materials: Gunpowder (1) Wood (1)
Stats: +5 Str
Description: These bolts have gunpowder at their tip, so that upon impact, they cause a small but powerful explosion.

2) Item Name: "WHY-AM-I-SO-SLOW" Bolts
Materials: Stone (1) Wood (1)
Stats: +5 Str
Description: These bolts are incredibly powerful, and are built to kill muscle upon impact.
Power: When hit by these bolts, the victim suffers 1/4 dex for two rounds. For each additional bolt the victim is hit by, the time penalty stacks, but the 1/4 dex penalty does not.
3) Item Name: "WHAT-THE-FUCK-IS-GOING-ON" Bolts
Materials: Glass (1) Gunpowder (1) Wood (1)
Stats: +5 Str
Description: These bolts have a chamber on the tip filled with gunpowder and extract of foreign herbs. The gunpowder ignites upon impact, causing the chamber to explode, filing the immediate area with a mist created from the herb.

Materials: Wood (1) Demon Medallion (1)
Stats: +5 Str
Description: These bolts are imbued with darkness, almost as an extension of Takehiro's inner power. They are solely used for poison purposes.
Power: Poison. These bolts are coated in darkness. Upon being struck by them, the victim suffers a poison equal to 1/2 Takehiro's Spr to their base Con for two (2) rounds. Additional bolts striking the same target increase the duration, but not the damage. | | - | Item Name: Demon's Mask of the Far-Seeing Eye
Materials: Cloth (1) Glass (1)
Stats: +5 Wis
Description: Said to be made by the Gods themselves, this mask grants the wearer powerful perception on the field of battle. It is very ornately embellished, though bears no similarities to any other Japanese masks, being flat and only having slits for the eyes.
Power: When the user closes their eyes, they lose all sense of what is happening directly around them. However, they gain the ability to perceive events happening all around the battlefield, and even telepathically issue commands to his soldiers. The more secure the user is, the less they see around them, but the more they see of the battlefield. When this power is in place, the user can not engage in any direct combat. They cannot hear or see anything happening around them, no matter how loud or close it is. | | - | Item Name: Weighted Anklets
Materials: Stone (60)
Stats: N/A
Description: These anklets are so unbelievably heavy, even the strongest men feel unbearably weighed down simply by wearing them. But, boy, do you feel relieved when they're removed!
Power: When worn, the wearer suffers a penalty of 1/2 total dex. If worn for three rounds, they may be removed. Upon removal following three rounds, the penalty is gone, and the wearer receives an additional 1/4 their total dex. |
