Name: Haruto Sato
Age: 17
Birthdate: 07/23
Nationality/Cultural Group: Japanese
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 190
Gender: Male
Affiliations: Academy, 3rd Year
Appearance: Youthful and exuberant, he tends to look surprisingly fluffy and innocent. With fluffy and wild looking light brown, almost orange hair that he keeps in a wild looking ponytail, and hazel eyes that are surprisingly gentle in cast he exudes an enthusiastic air. His canines are somewhat oversized, which can be almost shocking, often times one of his "fangs" are visible when he smiles. He is fair skinned, though surprisingly toned, as he enjoys working out and is always trying his best, Though his build actually makes him look almost scrawny until he takes his shirt off. He normally dresses in his School uniform, however his more casual style is very modern, usually involving cargo shorts and casual T shirts with shin length socks and athletic shoes.. He wears a silver necklace with shiisa charm on it, a gift from his mother.
Belongings: He carries two full length katanas, both are school issue. Otherwise he carries his phone, portable game console, and a backpack, containing a canvass and painting materials. He also keeps with him bug spray and a set of binoculars, just in case he spots an animal that catches his interest.
Personality: Haru is a solar personality in the extreme, his tendencies are often likened to an orange cats, he is a very curious individual and often takes conversations of other people's passions as intensely as if the passion was his own. People tend to interest him just as much as animals and he is always interested sometimes vexatiously so. He loves art and expression, often painting people on a whim, and at times he can seem chaotic, but there is a gentle air to him that makes him seem harmless. Though that is when he is at peace, His nature is that of a lion's and though he seems like a harmless cub he tends to react poorly to scenes of injustice, often willing to fearlessly throw himself up against anything he cannot stand for. He is Lionhearted and knows that he might not win a fight, but if necessary he will take the beating for his beliefs. Between his late blooming powers and his tendency to stick out he faces a fair bit of isolation among most of his peers, which doesnt seem to phase him too much. As if he expected it all along. Those who earn his wrath though will find that haru doesn't have a fighter's spirit, or a warriors spirit, but an actual killer instinct that is shockingly elated when that grim business comes up. Though he doesn't often step into it, it causes him a degree of cognitive dissonance when he awakens to it. For now the Lion within sleeps content to pass the days with art, videogames, music, and plastic models.
Character Strengths:
Lionhearted: Haru is nearly fearless, sometimes to the point of lunacy or idiocy. In the fight or flight response, he will fight every time. Though this can be a weakness, it also renders haru highly resilient to fear and intimidation. When the enemy roars, he roars back.
Well Trained: His powers had yet to awaken, even after he joined the academy, so he had to overcome this by training harder than anyone else. He has trained extensively to the point where he can wield two fully sized katanas in a style that lacks sophistication, but carries strong fundamentals and an adaptive stance.
Adaptive: he lacks serious specialization in fighting, both offensively a defensively, though he makes up for it with a highly adaptive and unpredictable sword style. Since he lagged behind his peers in sheer power due to his own potential failing to awaken, he often had to be more creative to keep up. Often looking for and identifying advantages in his terrain and environment.
Artistic: he is quite skilled in artistic focuses, sketching drawing, painting, and even calligraphy.
Character Flaws:
Generalist: Though his adaptive style and approach does give him a lot of versatility, it leaves little room for him to specialize. This means that facing an opponent head on in whatever they specialize in, is likely to result in a loss on his part.
Impulsive: he tends to impulsive in and act before thinking, which tends to lead him into trouble. His tendency to act before thinking can throw a wrench into plans both his allies and his enemies.
Hard Headed: when he has made up his mind very little can dissuade him, and only a very strong logical argument may get him to relent. this can be vexing when mixed with his impulsive nature.
Hyper Focus: when he focuses on something very little can distract him, but it also means that he can be quite oblivious to things he isn't focusing on.
Backstory: They expected great things from him at a young age. When he was tested on children's day his results came back an overwhelming positive for magical potential, this was confirmed on his 15th birthday as the shrine attendants confirmed he had an incredibly strong reading of potential. though he had unimpeachable test results, his power's never expressed themselves. since he was made to take part in the academy he often found himself lagging behind his peers, however he refused to let that stop him, no matter how much those that out classed him bullied him. Rather than be discouraged, his nature demanded he try harder. IT didn't matter that he stayed at the training grounds until the sun had long set, or showed up again before the sun rose. His focus and social isolation led him to being rather uninitiated in social mores, and he often finds himself having difficulty relating to others, one of the reason he fell into art as a manner of expression where his words and manners would sometimes fail him.
Now he is coming to his third year, and many whisper that he had cheated or failed the tests. Though the more wise teachers know that there is mmore to this kid than meets the eye, waiting to one day be revealed.
Family, Friends Etc:
Father Sato, Eiji 39: A rather plain looking man, he has a kind of easy charm that makes him popular with the other men at the Kyoto dept of transportation. A paper pusher and civil engineer, he is well liked though not very remarkable. has a laid back personality, and his friends have refered to him as being "frictionless."
Mother Sato, Nozomi 37: A vibrant young woman who run's an adult kendo society. Although she trained in the sword, and is quite accomplished she cares too much for her family and duties as a housewife to run a dojo. Though many have asked her to join as an assistant instructor. She was known as a lion of a woman, and was famous in high school for knocking an Oni senseless after it had invaded a school, even though she lacked significant powers above rank D. This was also how she met his father.
Powers:
Power Theme: Bloodline Blessing By a Shiisa. Sanctuary and Consecration.
Rank C Ability: Eye of the Shrine Guardian: Can see through illusions and falsehoods, revealing the true nature of evil. This power allows him to see through the magical disguises and Illusions of evil, specifically yokai and yokai based powers of illusion will be revealed to him. It will also reveal any weaknesses or injuries an opponent has, allowing him to strike at critical locations with frightening accuracy. For this ability to function he must concentrate on a specific target or weak point, and overuse of this ability will cause symptoms like blurred vision, headaches, and eye strain.
Rank B Ability: Consecrate Body: At a touch he can reverse the injuries and ailments of a target touched for 10 minutes, allowing them to act and fight as if they were uninjured and at their peak condition. After the end of the effect the injury reoccurs as they return to their present condition, including any injuries acquired during the skill's effects. Notably this does not actually heal an individual, only allows them to completely ignore the effects of the injury, for all intents and effects they are considered to be still injured. This ability can only be active on one target at a time, and recasting it ends its affect on another. once a target has been affected by it, the blessing cannot be bestowed again until the next sunrise.
Rank C Passive: Sanctified Aura: Once awakened he will carry with him a soothing aura that softens harder emotions. People he sees as friends or allies will fear anger, fear, and despair slipping from their grasp as they feel an almost liberating breeze even in a sealed room, and the faint smell of fresh grass and flower nectar. Yokai and other creatures of evil find this aura repugnant and distracting. This aura also lessens the impact of Miasma, doubling the time it would normally take to affect.
