Distinguishing Features: Nobunaga Shinshimura, a man of naturally blessed power, and a rule over the (insert Guild name here) as tight as the grip of his iron layered fists. With a natural height of about Six Feet Five inches and a build of densely packed muscles strong enough to bend a steel girder with his biceps alone. His intensely muscular build is not overbearing like some brute but strong enough to bless him with incredible natural strength and a full set of eight tightly packed abdominal muscles that peak out from his attire. His muscular body is wrapped over in a Pacific Islander tan that keeps tightly to the muscles and bones of his body, his skin reminiscent of a darkened caramel or lightened leather. Placed in the sockets of his strong face are Nobunaga's mighty dark eyes, an almost eternal glare ridden in its form. These narrow, destructive eyes are colored in an odd shade of dark purple. At times, many can see that it is a purple when shined in the right light but mostly they are a very dark purple that borderline a nightly black. This mighty glare seems to constrict the breath of those lower than him when looked straight in the eye, the power of it so mighty that it has actually given him a slightly sunken look due to the stretched skin found at the edge of his eyes. His steel skin is woven so tightly in places around his body that he actually contains many different folds and wrinkles in his skin such as around his eyes, at the folds of his knuckles, and around each of his abdominal muscles. Only to add to his look of supreme intimidation, Nobunaga's hair even presents a sense of fear. The color of his hair is an ebony black mixed with small tinges of dark blue and purple that only can be seen when shone in certain lights. The texture of his hair is choppy in a mix of smooth and spiked, making it seem uneven and hard to separate. Nobunaga has found a style that mixes the contradicting textures of his hair. He keeps his hair somewhat short in the front, not even touching halfway down his forehead aside from his right bang, but the back of his hair elongated to rather extensive points. His left set of bangs is smooth and much smaller than his right, for it simply lays off to the side of his head. However his most prevalent follicle feature is his right set of bangs, which is a thick set of spiky bangs naturally wound together and hung over his face, completely covering his right eye. The bang continues off till it is located about three quarters the way past his jaw and hanging down past his face by about a finger's length. This bang does not harm his sense of vision for his left eye alone is enough to make up for with his keen vision.

Personality: Nobunaga is a man of comradery, leadership, control and overall intimidation. Nobunaga had built the (Insert Undecided Guild name Here) from which it once was just a scattered assortment of Red Players, wanderers, fiends, and gluttons into an organized and powerful militaristic organization that rivals the complexities of even the mighty «Knights of the Blood». As a young Strigoi, he was a revolutionist; he hated to see the scattered anomalies and destruction of the red players players around him, seeing many of them as just murderers and gluttons. As he rose in power from his original status as a "noob" of VRMOORPGs all the way to what many dubbed an Alpha/Beta player, his focus and influence grew matching his power. Once he rose to the power of the Alpha/Beta Player which is considered one of the most knowledgeable players in existence; he began to help and teach other players.
He generally doesn't kill his subordinates but teaches them discipline through a good beating at times. As a leader, Nobunaga is very passionate about his subordinates and more importantly the PKer society as a whole. His want to preserve and evolve the Red Players which had been continually torn down by normal players for killing others being stronger than his will to clear the entirety of FAO. His passion for this is referred to as "A devoted King, encouraging a downtrodden kingdom." He looks after his allies with great care. He's also known to lead by example, showing the (Insert Guild Here) how they should act but with little to know success. Later on there would be little doubt that he would teach them a lesson in a more personal way. He is also, surprisingly, a rather kind man. He is humble, soft spoken and honest when he is actually spoken to personally; however with his appearance, power, prestige and unnaturally deep voice, many people don't have the courage to speak to him very casually.
Nobunaga when not around his own soldiers acts in an apathetic matter, he always seems serene and indifferent towards other people, even while actually disliking or even hating someone. He is also notably calm, even in battle. He generally acts indifferent to most situations that he is faced with as shown from how easily he is able to come up with plans of action during combat. He believes in a world where everyone can become free, free of the ties that bind them through names...appearance, actions. Having grown up in a home that forgave people for their wrong-doings, Nobunaga always believed that even the most vile humans can one day repent their sins, though this isn't always a true thing; having seen it himself. He liked to simply...believe in them, hoping that one day they would do so, so they could enjoy the remainder of heir lives happily.
Nobunaga is a calculating, cunning, and incredibly intelligent man. He is able to carefully look past his feelings towards a person or situation and see the real issues at hand. In battle, while his preference is to concoct strategies based on how his opponents move and act, his natural battle instincts are also highly tuned; a direct result of how many battles he'd been through, constantly sparring and fighting to the death with his comrades. He is capable of slashing another person's head off in just an instant, relying only on the instincts gained from his life. However, his care for his friends and the love he holds towards his deceased family drive him to become even stronger; heading towards his goal to be the strongest being alive. In the face of adversity, Nobunaga has the strange ability to shun all emotions and take on a blank mind, thinking seven or eight steps ahead of his enemy in order to allow him ample time to react accordingly. Coupled with his overwhelming intelligence and skill, his ability to remove all emotion from his mind and persona is one of his greatest assets, allowing him to calmly deal with any enemy or situation. Like his physical appearance shows, Nobunaga has very high durability, shown in his ability to shrug off harmful things like burns and cuts with ease.
Nobunaga won’t interrupt arguments or fights unless he feels the need to get personally involved in it; having been raised to always let a person deal with a situation on their own, using their own strength. One of the only things that will make him lose his composure is when a man refuses to use his own strength to settle a situation, relying on others who are weaker than them to deal with it. This always upsets the black-haired man, who believed strength ruled everything, including others. Though he holds this opinion, he would never subjugate other beings to serve him; instead wanting to help guide them, feeling it would be of no use to have servants considering he is able to take care of himself just fine. Alongside this he believes that strength should decide things, he also believed that those who wish to take no part in combat or situations have to make that decision themselves.
Nobunaga uses a vast Intellectual approach to battle. something that coupled with his physical strength made him quite a foe on the battlefield. Nobunaga has been molded into a master strategist, tactician, and analyst by his many years of war and combat, having believed that despite being physically strong, one should also be mentally strong during combat. He is frequently the first person to point out or find a weakness in his opponent's abilities or fighting style and exploit them to his advantage. The weakness of this is that in his attempt to understand and come up with a way to defeat his opponent, he tends to find his opponents below him, simply because they showed a lack of intelligence in comparison to himself.
Likes:
.xx► Fighting: Coming from a somewhat deranged upbringing, Nobunaga enjoys fighting the other players in FAO; even if it means getting injured himself during battle.
.xx► Darkness: Like his race, Nobunaga loves the darkness around them, preferring to go out at night as opposed to during the day like many of the other players.
.xx► The snow: Something about these tiny little white flakes soothes Nobunaga, even if only a tiny bit. Though it rarely snowed in FAO, mostly around "Christmas" as he'd been told.
.xx► Crossword Puzzles: These brain teasers served to keep his mind sharp, alongside his blade when he's bored.
Dislikes:
.xx► Heat: As his friend and leveling companion Kono Yo no Kyūseishu says. "It can go to hell for all I care."
.xx► Being in town: It reminds him of all the little people he needed to kill before his goal to become the most powerful red player in FAO was complete.
.xx► Open fields: It makes it a lot easier for people to spot him out when he's trying to sneak up on them.
.xx► Those who harm his "family": Rather self explanatory, however Nobunaga is a man who believes in family over everything else, and after playing with his guild for long enough he'd built a comradery that could stand against anyone, as such when someone messes with his guild he takes it personally.
Strengths: Nobunaga is a powerful man, both on the battlefield and off. His overwhelming martial combat prowess combined with his eerily sharp intellect made for an almost unstoppable force to face in combat. Alongside this power and intellect was a calm serenity that allowed him to think his way through any situation be it favorable or not, meaning he could escape things like "Ganks" from other Red Players by using his charm and wits. Due to being raised by his father who was at one point in his life a blacksmith, Nobunaga picked up the ability to forge and work with metals and weapons; which carried over to FAO before the reboot where he owned and ran his own extremely successful Blacksmithing shop.
Weaknesses: Despite the calm calculated way of thinking and acting in a fight, Nobunaga is rather hotheaded outside of combat, unless it's directly linked to something he needed to talk his way out of. This includes those in his party doing something stupid, or people he knows putting themselves in danger. Alongside this is his inability to take no for an answer, sparking many arguments in the past over stupid things like joining his party or simply buying an item from his shop. Like his friend Kono he's sometimes too trusting of people, believing things they've said or done to be the whole truth despite his gut telling him that wasn't the case.
History: Was given permission by Janell to skip this.
Goals: To become the most powerful Red Player in the game.

Abilities:
Regeneration
The ability to heal and regenerate Health and Stamina twice as fast as other players. This can be done naturally, without even consciously thinking on it. Players with Regeneration can aid others as well, but the other player must be in their party, and their speedy regeneration slows to that of a normal player when they cast it on others. They are also limited to only being allowed to aid one person at a time.
⊲ On their self, the user regenerates Health and Stamina after two posts of not being attacked by a foe.
↳ Since this is a passive enchantment, it costs no Mana to utilize.
⊲ The user can switch this enchantment to another in the party. This will allow to other player to regenerate Health and Stamina after two posts of not being attacked by a foe, but the user will receive the typical regeneration rate while the enchantment is swapped. This means the user will regenerate after four posts of not being attacked by foe instead of two.
↳ Switching the enchantment costs 10 Mana.
