Age:
??? (looks 20-25)
Gender:
Male
Race:
Human
Magic:
Necromancer:
Silent Art:
Nullifies all senses except vision. One who is unfamiliar with such a scenario becomes disorientated and takes a long time to cope. Only those with extreme skills and recover quickly, however ones with abnormally strong senses are particularly affected and cannot recover for a long time.
Shadow Walking:
He can phase through just about everything, be it people or walls. Magic is a bit more tricky. When phasing, he vanishes entirely from the current plane of existence and enters another. Those with a beating heart, for the duration of his phasing, are unable to see or even sense him.
Reaper:
His original ability, commonly known as the ‘Mind Resonator’. It is unknown to most what this means, however it is said that he has a direct contract with Death himself, of course that would be foolish wouldn't it?
Equipment:
Shitsubo uses a black sword, medium sized, with no apparent features. This black sword directly relates to his Reaper ability, however no-one knows how as no-one has seen it. Not because everyone died, he’s simply never used it before. It is also said a voice comes out of the sword in whispers, as if talking to Shitsubo. However, most just wave this off as a ghost tale surrounding him. It looks like this sword, just totally black without any markings.
Shitsubo also wears a black coat, with red tattoos engraved upon it. A lot of people assume it was made by a sigilist, however these markings are at S level, meaning he would have had to gain them from one of the 10 masters of their art. It contains a powerful anti-barrier spell that requires conditions to active. Additionally he is impervious to normal attacks to a considerable level, expertise in strength can overpower the coat. The conditions are as follows: the ability must be understood; the ability must be visually recognised. If these two conditions are not met, it is merely a fancy coat.
In addition to this, underneath his coat is a strange tattooed symbol. It is assumed to be also of a sigilist’s making, however the symbol is unknown to anyone. Shitsubo was asked to reveal its secrets before, and he only said ‘consider it a second lease on life’.
Personality:
Silent, mysterious, people mistake this for shy but in reality he prefers silence as people talk more freely near him. He has no friends, not because of his own design, but because he doesn’t seek them and no-one wants to approach him.
Once he becomes friends, a more playful and childish side of him is revealed. It’s said that this is what first attracted his wife to him, for she had taken no courter before him.
He is also intensely loyal, it is very hard to become his friend but once you are, he will never betray you.
History:
Not much is known of Shitsubo. He first appeared on the world's radar when he courted a Sorceress, one of the rare sorcerer's who survive their tragic fates. Finally, after a year of courting, he was betrothed to her. Yet on the day of their wedding, she was mysteriously murdered. The day after he dissapeared, leading people to believe the cause of her death was him. Then, some time later, he appeared at the abandoned bar asking to be accepted. Despite his status as a murderer, he was accepted into the abandoned bar. To this day, no-one knows why other then the owners of the bar, but all avoid him. Finally curiosity came over some researchers, and they decided to look into his past. As they were researching, they were led to an ancient history book that described of a man who looks exactly the same as Shitsubo. The date was 1000 years in the past. It was immediately rejected as a preposterous coincidence, yet it is uncanny how similar the description is.
Through all of this, Shitsubo has never once been asked directly.Most put it down to fear or lack of interest, however a few people notice that the air around him is somewhat different, as if harder to approach.
