Username: B I u e s Drive Monster
Character Name: Ito, Satsuya aka 'Fujin'
Age: 18
Race: Tengu, Taimatsu-maru[1] Rank
Sex: Male

Appearance: A gorgeous, although short youth. He stands at a mere five foot seven, but rather than his height being a disadvantage when facing taller opponents, he has turned his small stature into a great advantage. His skin is a rich, bronze color which has seen many days under the sun. However, many scars litter his flesh from battles that have come and gone. The most notable would be the burn scar on his back with a second on top of it which appears to be a horizontal slice.

Every part of the youth seems to ooze a tribal, or even shamanic air whether it be his caramel skin or the shoulder-blade length thick dreadlocks. Most importantly would be the porcelain mask that covers the top half of his face. The beak which is curved like a hawk's reaches down to his upper lip, while feather like designs reach to the back of his head. There is a secret behind this mask, though. It is actually fused with his flesh and is under constant evolution based on his own spiritual energy. Within many of the feathers there are drilled holes where multi-colored ropes of hair hang. A symbol of the many foes that have fallen at his blade, no doubt. More often than not they are black with copper or silver strands that make themselves known.

His eyes are only half visible, literally. The right hole has been completely sealed up for reasons unknown, the left eye exposed. The fact he is not human is made known right off the bat by eyes that are characteristic of a bird of prey. The body of his eye is black, rather than white, while the iris is a rather gorgeous golden-amber color. The pupil, of course, is black.

More often than not, Satsuya is most commonly seen in a pale green robe which has seen many years of battle. Blood stained and tattered it reaches his ankle and offers his form modesty. An essential, as the youth wears no other garb below it. A second outfit is used for more formal occasions, a brown homongi [Visiting robe] covers his form. From the bottom hem is a swirling pale blue design that reaches up to his shoulder. On these waves of wind, as they can be seen as, one can view many majestic birds being hunted by a wolf below.

There are two articles of clothing that never leave his form. One, on his left wrist can be found emerald comma shaped prayer beads, known as magatama[2]. A symbol of his faith in Fujin, the god of winds and storms, despite his venture into the Amatsu Mikaboshi[3]. Finally, on his feet, one can find one-toothed geta sandals. They are common foot-wear of the Tengu race, and demand an outstanding amount of balance.

There is, of course, a third item that could be seen as a part of his body rather than a mere accessory. At his left hip, there is always strapped a blade like no other. It takes the shape of a katana, but it is far grander than the blade of the bushi. If one would like to speak of dimensions, it is roughly three feet long, two inches wide, and a finger's length 'tall.' the blade appears to be more like a wedge at first glance, but this is because it takes the shape of a V. This, of course, zeros out any thrusting possibilities. On each fold of the blade, a row of holes can be seen on the naked silver. The reason for them has not yet graced the eyes, or ears, of the Shinigami.

Personality: Like a wild wind, Satsuya has a fierce personality. He is temperamental and proud, refusing to stand down to even the strongest enemy. Even if it takes him a thousand years, Satsuya's wind will wither away even the tallest wall before him.

He is a hunter by nature, always on the prowl for another victim to test his technique on, which has only been bested three times in his life time. Once, by a certain demoness; second by a Bakeneko[4] male; third, by Sojobo[5], the Tengu King. Despite these failures he is proud of his skill, and believes it to be absolution. A trademark threat before he begins any battle: "By the third stroke of my sword, you will know defeat."

History: Satsuya, age 16.
Satsuya was a youth who grew up in a world surrounded by magic, monsters, tales of Kami[6], and peace. On the eastern continent of Gaia there was a mountain range that was said to contain the cave to Yomi[7] and the bridge to Takamagahara[8], and it was there the faiths of Shinto and Buddhism combined to form Shugendo[9]; a faith practiced most commonly in the mountains.
He was a young follower of the Kami of Yomi, Fujin[10], who governed the winds and storms with his brother Raijin[11]. His heart was wild like the winds that escaped Fujin's bag, and he was prone to stealing Hitoke's[12] [A chaos Kami] heart. Madly in love with the goddess, he vowed to her that he would become the new Wind if it meant she would look his way.

Satsuya, age 17
One day, he had the heart in his hand! He had managed to best the guardians of the heart without losing it, and was making his escape! Then, then she showed up. A woman who looked exactly like Hitoke stared down at him coldly, and in those sapling green eyes he could see many deaths. His young heart raced wildly as he tried to make his escape.
He was thwarted, the heart taken from his grasp, yet some how his life was spared. To this day, he still doesn't know why. He came to learn her name was Kyari, and that she was of relation to the Second Generation Chaos Kami, Hitoke.
However, sooner or later, the duo became closer. He inspired emotion within her, and she was a divine creature he couldn't even begin to understand. Even so, there was something that drew him closer to her. By the time his 18th birthday rolled around, he was now vowing to her that he would become the New Wind for her.

Satsuya, age 18
It was on a cool winter day, Kyari returned from the August Star after disappearing for unknown reasons. However, it was on this day they could no longer hide what they felt for each other. Under the protection of the Shrine [Literally!] their bodies became tangled, and in the peak of their passion she took his life.
With his mortal head now in Ama no Kagaseo's grasp, he awoke on the August Star. Little did the First Generation Chaos Kami know, it was all a part of their plan. From this day, Satsuya walked on the dark world of demons and chaos acting as Kyari's assassin in the shadows. He cast Yamato, Tengu, Bakeneko, all of them into oblivion in order to aid her.
Months passed, and his skill with his bizarre blade had increased ten-fold.

Additional Information: Satsuya is the founder of the Moon Reflected on the Water's Surface style of swordsmanship, a technique based on countering and rising from below to strike one's opponent down. Extremely simplistic, it has not developed passed four points of attack. Yet because it is so simple, there has been no reason for it to develop any further. However, because of the defeats he has faced, the youth is starting to realize that it is truly a broken style that needs work.

#3: Amatsu Mikaboshi and Ama no Kagaseo in history are actually the same person. However, we turned Amatsu Mikaboshi into the realm because it's more of a reference to the 'dark force.'

#4: The type of Bakeneko I'm referring to are complete fiction. On the August Star there is a race of people called Bakeneko who are shapre shifters. They abide by Amazon law and are, needless to say, dominated by women. Most of them are strict and are not shy to killing a male for looking at them wrong.

#12: See the Amatsu Mikaboshi article of Wiki.
