Personality: Taiyo is utterly laid back, calm, and collected. He is a good hearted man and just wants everyone to be happy. But unfortunately he knows that it isn't possible for that to happen. Taiyo knows that sometimes you try your best and fail repeatedly, But he never lets it get him down and keeps on going, despite any failures, he simply dusts himself off and walks it off in life.
Taiyo is a good enough natured man that he will care for the well being of others but should they be unknown to him, he will tend to stay away. He enjoys spending time to himself, reflecting on himself and possible actions he could have done better. Taiyo is a man of not to many words at first, but eventually he will speak in fluent waterfall should you not stop him.
Taiyo's other side is his great sadness, having lost his wife to tragedy and spent his life pressured along with manipulated, he simply wishes to be free. But unfortunately the chains that bind him are mental and he doesn't realize it. His greatest achievement for himself is that he does not regret an action, but he can be found guilty of it. To that end, Taiyo lives as freely as he can despite the burden of self doubt.
History: Taiyo was born to a rough couple in central city, a mistaken marriage, and the works. Taiyo was born shortly after that, and then adopted by a farmers family out in the wilds. He spent much of his time there moving about after they too got divorced almost 5 years after his birth. He spent it travelling back and forth across earth seeing all its glorious sights at an early age.
Mother who lived across the globe from father would send him back and forth between the two often. His father would pick him up in different cities depending on where he was selling his produce when Taiyo would be arriving. This gave the boy plenty of time to see the world at a young tender age and appreciate its beauty. Growing up however, was not the great experience.
Father turned to traditional teaching methods, and believed Taiyo should be as manly as possible. The boy did not take to the teaches, instead simply wishing to be left alone. Taiyo at a young age was always in love with his own company. His imagination was the catalyst for him discovering magic later on, and what better place to experience imagination than when alone?
Taiyo was gifted in almost everything he could do, growing up he could play the piano flawlessly, yet he never did master it. The same with anything he ever did, Taiyo never mastered it. Sure he got proficient with it, but he never truly mastered his craft of any sort. His youth was spent with him being verbally thrashed for wasting his talents and mentally abused by manipulations.
Where his father took a more... direct approach in teaching Taiyo, his adoptive mother was more of a snake in the grass woman. She strangled Taiyo's growth as much as she could to further her own personal wealth and gains. Taiyo was eighteen when he escaped his abusive upbringing and finally moved out on his own. There is where the boy took to shining.
The world was his Gem and despite his... crippling self doubt. Taiyo was able to explore the world as he saw fit, and so he did. Taiyo wondered the world, doing odd jobs to survive for who knows how long. Years, yet it was when he was 22 that he found his given talent. Taiyo came across the budakai grounds far to the south, his twenty second birthday was around the corner.
A man, an instructor was teaching his students how to world a sword. The boy having never seen an Odachi wielded with one hand before and as such was stunned by the prospect of it. When the instructor noticed him watching for an extended period of time, he allowed Taiyo to hold his blade. In that moment of touching the blade, feeling its weight and the craftsmanship of the hilt. The sheer beauty of that weapon shown in his eyes.
Taiyo took up the blade from then on, living as a swordmonk, Taiyo traveled the world where he explored the countless wonders of the world. From the urban subways, to the far reaching north, Taiyo has traveled the land. During his travels Taiyo met the twin spirit blades Hina and Yugure where they forged a bond. Though they were bonded for combat, Taiyo had found them trapped in a mountain all alone.
Knowing that freeing them might be impossible, letting them see the world wasn't. So he took them as his blades so that through him, they might see the world once more. But as times change, so to must we all. A shift in the income, attacks, or who knows what else prevented Taiyo from continuing his sword saint life and as such he was forced to seek his fortune by way of college.
A master of the blade now attempting college, and despite his prestige he failed his first entrance examine. Our story starts here.
Techniques:
[OT1]Sun's Kiss: Burning Bones: Taiyo unleashes a slash at his foe that is extremely hot depending on the level of his ki and Power. Ranging from 600 degrees to 10,000 degrees. This for flavor only really and story building, does not affect damage.
[DT1] Night's Shift: Taiyo uses his magic from the swords to shift forward through an attack, like a shadow passing through another shadow. However if Taiyo is to slow or to tired, he cannot make it in time.
[ST1] Empathy: Taiyo is so well versed in the world and knowledge of it, he has a strong sense of empathy, or perhaps he was born with it. Regardless of its source, Taiyo projects his warmth to those about him. Like a suns kiss on the waves of a fresh morning. Warm and refreshing is his aura of empathy, effectively making him a living beacon but he doesn't mind it. The birds like him, and so do all the creatures of the wild due to his friendly disposition to life. However, this also has another effect of being the opposite when Taiyo has finally gotten pushed to far. A cold murderous intention is the persons replacement of sunshine should they push Taiyo to far. Like the cold grasp of a winter night, uncomfortable at first, and displeasing, but slowly becomes more distractingly painful as the cold settles in. Does no damage, but attacks the mental state for flavor with this aura.
[OT1] Lion's Bite: Taiyo unleashes a deadly punch at his foe that is followed up by magical flames of a tiger striking at the same time. This attack is more akin to a super heated pile Driver into whatever part he hits. Depending on the level of his ki of course.
[DT1] Flickering Snow: Taiyo lifts the tiny blade Yugure to deflect a blast or at last dampen its effects. In the moment of drawing the blade a shimmering shield of ice will block incoming attacks if its strong enough. An emergency measure but effective.
[OT1] Dragons Tempest: Taiyo sheaths both his blades before smirking, ice will form along his hands before tiny little mirrors of ice will appear behind his opponent. This tiny little mirrors are then swung at by Taiyo who unleashed razor thin cuts at each mirror that is then reflected into his foes back hopefully. Best used to ambush or corner a foe.
Roleplay Sample: It had been a rough couple of days, failing to get into the college, his girlfriend left em for some college brad and he was really poor... As the man was eating on a bun of bread, a simple meal to get him by for now, a few crumbs fall onto his red jacket. The man sighing in frustration as he looked down at his black shirt that had something written on it, he didn't really pay much attention to modern references after all.
His shirt had crumbs ALL in it, and he couldn't even afford to get em cleaned again! Bummer... It wasn't till a loud boom from the street that made the man look through the now shattered window beside him. Taiyo wasn't the strongest man in the universe, but he was certainly not weak. Slowly chewing his bun, the man watched as a group of men came out of a container
The shipping container was in rough shape but the truck inside wasn't. The man slowly finished eating his bun as the criminals laughed their victory over escaping. Whoever they were, it was clear they were up to no good. Duffle bags, masks, guns... With a sigh, Taiyo slowly stood up before heading to pay for his meal. The robbers on the other hand were much more focused on escaping.
Taiyo wasn't a hero, he was just a college flunk out and some hill rat who practiced the sword... He couldn't possibly get involved. Besides no one had gotten hurt...
Upon stating what the people call a "jinx" the sounds of a scream outside caused Taiyo to sigh in frustration. The robbers having secured their escape route were now trying to kidnap someone's son to use in case they got caught. Taiyo slowly put his wallet away while he watched the boy slip from the man's grasp and in a fit of rage or perhaps frustration, he fired.
Within that split second moment between ear cracking split of air collapsing after a bullet splits it, another boom had already sounded. Followed by the sound of slicing and two separate dinks of bullets striking metal nearby. Taiyo now stood between the robbers and their victims.
"Its wrong to hurt the young you know..."
Taiyo simply stated before drawing both his swords and the gunman simply raises a brow before laughing.
"I have a gun... A gun. The fuck you gonna do to me? Cut me with air?"
"Well... Not exactly..."
Slowly sheathing both his weapons, the truck which previously had been in the shipping container and was now safely out into the street... Or at least it WAS. A moment later the whole of the truck, which thankfully no one was inside, began to turn into ribbon metal, thin strips of metal that looked as if it was meant as graffiti. The truck was reduced from a perfectly usable machine in one second to a bunch of metal scrape within the next moment.
Taiyo on the other hand had not moved an inch, instead simply standing where he was before. Simply friendly smile of a down to earth guy who just wants to get back to his friday coffee. The robber upon seeing this was at first in disbelief as if they had been attacked by a third party, but upon realizing it was Taiyo who did it through basic maths and visual ques from Taiyo. The Robber would apologize before slowly setting his gun down.
Taiyo would only chuckle before shaking his head and looking over his shoulder to make sure his charges were taken care of. When he confirmed that they were indeed unharmed, the modern day sword monk moved into the store he was in earlier, getting a free coffee for being a good man and despite his insistence was first to take a gift bread bun as a reward. With a happy murmur from Taiyo in fake annoyance, the man was on his way once more.
On to the next little adventure.
