Lt. Colonel Kazaki Sugihara

Lieutenant Colonel
Kazaki Sugihara

26 Years Old
Commanding Officer of the Moon Demon Company
Squad Leader of Sugihara Squad

Personality:

Kazaki Sugihara is the cold-hearted and calculating commander of the Moon Demon Company. A boastful and skilled warrior, Kazaki Sugihara is as mysterious as he is deadly. Quite possibly one of the most accomplished Vampire killers in the Imperial Japanese Demon Army, it is no surprise that he is the commanding officer in charge of the Imperial Army's most elite vampire extermination unit. Kazaki seeks the best out of each and every soldier under his command, leading them into the darkest corners of Japan and back. While he is a renowned warrior, his major strength comes from his tactical ability. Although often chastised by his superiors and peers as "reckless" or "too aggressive," The Moon Demon Company has accomplished much under his ingenious command with as few casualties as possible.

It should be noted that while Kazaki seeks to keep casualties to a minimum, he has little regard for the value of human life. He firmly believes that it is humanity's destiny to die out, being convinced that humans are good for little more than warfare. Even before the world fell to the Vampires, humans knew little more than waging war and he is not convinced that a new mankind would absolve that. Kazaki detests war, but cannot deny the thrill he receives when clashing blades with the enemy.

Biography:

Unlike the majority of people that lost their friends and family before the outbreak wiped ninety percent of the human race, Kazaki had already lost everything. Kazaki once belonged to a prestigious family of politicians, often being brought to other countries to study abroad and follow his family on their obligations. One day, a terrorist attack caused the destruction of the United Nations Building he was staying in, leaving none of his family alive. He was then relocated to a orphanage back in his home country of Japan, where he was frequently abused by his guardians.

As soon as he turned 18, Kazaki joined the Japanese Self Defense Forces Maritime Branch and served for three years. He was dishonorably discharged at the age of 20, two years before the virus wiped out humanity. Kazaki and the destroyer he was navigating was deployed off the coast of Japan to intercept an unregistered tanker coming from North Korea. Radio communications with the tanker revealed that it held over a thousand refugees escaping North Korea and into Japan. Rather than allowing it safe passage, Japan feared North Korean retaliation and did nothing as North Korean ships chased down and sunk the tanker, killing every man, woman and child aboard. The incident was never reported to the media.

Kazaki deserted the Self-Defense Forces afterwards, living in a rural area of Iwate Prefecture, away from the cities and mankind. He lived off of the land and took up an interest in Iaijutsu, the art of drawing the sword. When the virus finally hit four years ago, many of the rural areas of Japan were unaffected. Leaving Kazaki alive. He had no idea that there was a war going on between the Vampires and Mankind as he lived in solitude for almost another year, until a battle ensued in the forest just by his house. He watched as Imperial Soldiers fought against the Vampires, mercilessly cut down in droves by the superior Vampires despite already having surrendered.

Story says that Kazaki drew his sword and fell upon the Vampires that night. Despite having no Cursed Gear, he managed to fight the Vampires off with sheer will and skill alone, causing them to retreat. He was then sworn into the Japanese Imperial Demon Army and became one of the most noted warriors in their ranks soon after. His rapid rise in prominence was due to his legendary command capability and Kazaki's feats are not taken lightly by anyone in the Army.

Full Appearance

Black Demon Series - "Hachiman 八幡神"

Hachiman is the powerful demon that resides within Kazaki's Black Demon Series weapon. Much of its origin and special abilities are unknown, other than the fact that the weapon takes the shape of a standard Japanese Tachi. The blade harnesses the elemental power of demonfire, a powerful black flame that sears Vampires, preventing healing for prolonged periods of time.

Combat Style - "Iaijutsu 居合術"

Iaijutsu is an old sword art which focuses on the draw of the blade, leaving the blade sheathed before skillfully drawing and slashing in one, crisp movement. In swordsmanship terms, it eliminates the predictions of katas, typical sword holding forms which previously created a rock-paper-scissors style of sword fighting. By using Iaijutsu, the opponent cannot guess as easily where the blade will strike from, the velocity of the strike or even get a good sense of the length of the opponent's blade. It is an incredibly offensive style of combat, relying on cutting down the opponent faster than they can cut you down. In the even a Iaijutsu draw is too slow, it means death for the user.

Hachiman has been modified to contain a small compartment in the sheath which houses a small, metal tube of gunpowder. Upon drawing, the black demonfire ignites the gunpowder, causing a backwards pull on the sheath and allowing the blade to be drawn at an even faster speed than usual.

8th Progenitor Horace

8th Progenitor Horace

Noppera-bō
"The Faceless Ghost"

Horace is the 8th Progenitor of the Japanese Vampire Progenitor Council. Considered one of the strongest Vampires in Japan and one that is unaffiliated and uninterested in politics, Horace is often used by the Queen of Japan as an assassin, targeting powerful members of the Imperial Japanese Demon Army and swiftly changing the tides of battles. Known as the Noppera-bō (Faceless Ghost) by Imperial soldiers, no man has ever encountered Horace and survived until he encountered Kazaki Sugihara, who lost an eye and was left for dead by the powerful Vampire. Although he learned much about Horace's fighting style from military intelligence, Kazaki stood no chance and was cut down quickly. Kazaki refuses to speak of the event, though he was allowed to live because Horace thought that Kazaki was "Interesting."

Kazaki describes the 8th Progenitor as a "Ghost of unparalleled speed."

Japanese Imperial Demon Army Intelligence has Horace listed as "DNE" (Do Not Engage) and has adopted a policy of retreat whenever Horace has appeared.

Welcome to Post-Apocalyptic Japan... After a mysterious virus wiped out every infected human over the age of thirteen, human civilization had crumbled and succumbed to the might of the vampires - who now imprison and use humans as nothing more than livestock. Despite losing 90% of the human population, the survivors have regrouped and organizations across the globe have begun to resist the combined threat of the vampires and demons that now populate the world. One of the most powerful organizations is the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, a militaristic organization that, under the powerful Hiragi family, seeks to cleanse the world of vampires and demons alike and to bring the world back under the thumb of human rule.

Armed with the power of the Cursed Gears, possessed weapons cursed with the power of the demons, humanity now makes its counter attack...

Welcome to the Moon Demon Company... As a member of the Imperial Japanese Demon Army's most elite vampire extermination unit, you will be tasked with the most dangerous of missions, the defeat and eradication of Vampires. Armed with the Black Demon Series Cursed Gears, powerful weapons of unknown strength, humanity has finally found its trump card. The Imperial Japanese Demon Army has fought valiantly, growing in strength with the passing days. However, the Vampires have taken notice and muster their forces to stamp out the threat. It has been said that the vampire is stronger than the human, but united... humanity may yet still prevail.

Regardless of your past, why you choose to fight, remember that the soldier next to you is your comrade. Without them, you are nothing. With them, you are strong. Remember their sacrifices and they shall always remember yours...

Welcome to your new family.​

Rules will be as follows:

• No Canon Characters: There will be a few leaders that are the same, but for the most part they will not exist in this alternate universe. Using a canon's appearance is OK.
• No God Modding: This goes without saying.
• 2+ Paragraph Posting Limit: While this is flexible, please keep in mind that this is not a "Free" RP and therefore some quality is expected in posts.
• 2 Post Waiting Period: This is to prevent the story from moving too quickly for those with lives. This may be lifted or increased depending upon the players.
• Inactive Players Will Be Killed and Replaced!: If you have to disappear for a few days, please let everyone know!

Yeah we will go with a mixed team then, unless we get enough interest for another team.

I know I planned to have the OOC up today but shit happened and I'll try my best to have it done by tomorrow. I'm hoping we can find a few players through the OOC or else there might be issues running this RP.

Seraph of The End ;『 Owari no Seraph 』Interest Check

If we do not have enough for two teams then we will most likely do a mixed team. The new members will be replacements for casualties and will therefore have much bigger shoes to fill. If everyone signs up for the same team, then we will stick to that team obviously.

Sooooo. The space bar on my tablet keyboard broke so I can't really type up anything significant at the moment.

Here's a basic character sheet so you can at least get started on the details...

Please note that this sheet is NOT a final draft. This is just to brainstorm with. When the OOC comes around, some details may need to be added to keep it up to date. It's also very ugly because I wrote this on my phone, so you are welcome to spice it up if you'd like.

Also note that we may not have enough players for two teams. If that is the case, there will only be one team.

Seraph of The End ;『 Owari no Seraph 』Interest Check

I'll have a character sheet today or tomorrow up. The OOC thread will be on Monday once I have access to a computer again for sure.

Seraph of The End ;『 Owari no Seraph 』Interest Check

Glad that there's a bunch for interest :)

It is so bad waitinggg... Especially for the manga since it updates so damn irregularly xD

@FernStone

Yup. It's looking good.

I totally know what you mean xD

Seraph of The End ;『 Owari no Seraph 』Interest Check

So it would be them getting their gear but before they go through the ritual to master the gear? Like where they battle against their demons for complete control to manifest the abilities.

@MonkeyBusiness

Yeah. They would already have their gear but they still wouldn't have the full potential to use their weapons yet.

Seraph of The End ;『 Owari no Seraph 』Interest Check

I can help you with the story of you need it Knight.

@MonkeyBusiness

Sure. If you have any input on the story, feel free to share. I was thinking we'd start off right after the newer team gets their Cursed Gears and along with the other team they get assigned to their first mission.
