Hanzo.Date



In the end
As my soul's laid to rest
What is left of my body
Or am I just a shell?
And I have fought
And with flesh and blood I commanded an army
Through it all
I have given my heart for a moment of glory
(I gave it all)

appearance: Hanzo is a tall warrior who stands at 6’0” due to family inheritance, mainly form his father’s side. He has dark red eyes and long golden hair that he mainly ties in a ponytail as it makes fighting easier although he does have some loose hair on the front and a side fringe. He is a rather strong man not bulky but not lean, due to the many years he served as a soldier and later on General of Konan alongside his friend Isamu Li. Even though he is now a bard he still wears the colours of his family, which consists of vermilion trousers and long shirt with white in the middle and the family crest in gold, the armour he wears is silver and the gloves are black. Of course as he is no longer a General he adapted his armour to look more casual and make is easier to move. He also wishes to avoid dragging any attention to himself.

EVERYTHING'S INSIDE
powers:

Melt: Hanzo can summon the heat into his body as if it were his own and he can use it to melt things around him, such as ice, metals, candle wax, anything that has a melting point he can control the heat to make his body reach that temperature due to his next power that regards immunity to fire and heat. This earned him the nickname of Dragon Knight, as opposed to his friend Isamu that was labelled Ice Knight. He can manipulate this ability to help people who have been frozen due to an avalanche or a spell and help their bodies regain their natural heat.


Rain of fire: He can summon a rain of fire over his enemies, depending on the number of enemies the rain can extend to cover more distance, although Hanzo controls the direction he always tries to spare nature as much as possible for he is quite fond of it and does not wish to cause it harm.

Lava flow: Hanzo can control the lava flow of any nearby volcano. In order to fire balls of las or burning rock toward his opponent. He can even use the sulphur fumes like a type of mist to confuse and scare his enemy. This is his deadliest power and can be quite destructive, which is why he focuses on smaller groups of people when he uses it and he mainly used these skills when he was a General of Konan. He was an expert tactician and a ruthless General in war. He can use the hot temperature in his body to make other beings around him feel unbearably hot, in battle it would cause the enemy to remove their armour as it would burn against their skin and they would surrender due to suffocating to the heat.
abilities: Hanzo is a master of the art of fighting with his Seishi skills as well as an expert tactician and spear-wielder. He is also an expert archer, although he mainly uses that skill in emergencies and for hunting. He is an expert musician and he travels around with his biwa he is also a great composer and singer which helps in his current role as trailing bard.
weapons: Besides his Seishi skills, Hanzo wields a spread that he was gifted from his father, it had been in the family for generations. It is his main weapon of choice and he mastered the art of spear wielding. He also carries a bow and arrows for hunting although if needed he could use them in battle as he is still quite adept at this art as well. He also carries throwing knives in his persona in case he needs to use them.
strengths: Hanzo’s greatest strength is how cunning he is due to his mastery of battle tactics and that ensures he knows for the most part the best way to get out of most situations. He is also a powerful Seishi and one of the best Generals Konan ever had. His fighting and martial arts skills are quite imposing as well.
weaknesses: Hanzo’s powers require a lot of concentration as he needs to use the skills for a certain amount of time, for example when he is melting objects or metals, etc., and he also needs to ensure to prevent the rage of fire to take over him like the rage of a dragon would. Even though he is not possessed by a dragon, when he uses his Seishi skills he can at times be overcome with anger for he is a man who suffered great loss. So he needs to concentrate in order to prevent catastrophes from happening and any excuse use of strong skills, such as the fire rain, take out a lot of energy, so some of his abilities he cannot use several times in a fight. His greatest fear is experiencing the same level of pain he did when he lost his wife.
personality: Hanzo used to be a very cheerful man, which contrasted greatly with the General in the middle of a battlefield where he was rage and fire and burning lava. The men used to tease him calling him a pretentious airhead when in reality he was one of the most intelligent and cheeky men they had her met. This part of his personality was greatly affected by the loss of his wife in the attack Akhram led in his hometown. Nowadays if he seems to smile in a friendly way or seems rather cheerful it is mainly his way of discussing the darkness inside him and anything that could be troubling him. As most people fall for it he does not hesitate to behave in such a way thinking no one will notice and he does not stay in a location long enough to allow people to get to know him. This gives him an air of mystery and most persons know little to nothing about him.
He is as cunning in life as he is in a battle. He studies his opponents and uses their weaknesses against them as it is truly the only means to win a fight and survive. Even as a travelling bard, he always used his common sense, his sharpness of mind and wit to make the most of every situation. He was not manipulative, however, as he never liked those who behaved in such a coward way and manipulated people to do their bidding. He abhors people who force their wills on others and does not hesitate in getting involved to protect the innocent and weak and offer them a helping hand when no one else will. He is a very intelligent man and he will use his skills to help those everyone else has forgotten about.
Despite his past as a ruthless General and his still rather passionate heart when it came to fitting for others and helping them overcome their enemies, which he still does with his ruthlessness and battle tactics, Hanzo is a rather compassionate man. Particularly for the innocent, weak, vulnerable and whoever the law might have forgotten. He has made it his duty to help those no one else wishes to help and he taels to ensure he can reach as many persons as possible.

history:

Hanzo was born in a small village in Konan to his parents Riko and Huro, he was a single child and as such much was expected of him. As such from a very early age he began to learn the art of weapon mastery regarding the spear and archery and martial arts. He was also taught the history of the four kingdoms and battle tactics. That was when he met Isamu Li and both promised each other to become Generals one day. They became sparring buddies and studied together to become the strongest men in Konan. They became inseparable and form that day forth their resole to become Generals and help their people became the basis of everything Hanzo did.

Soon Hanzo would discoed how difficult it would be for him to ascent as a General for he did not descend from nobility directly but rather a lineage of strong and reliable samurai. Despite this, positions of importance are not handed out randomly and he had to go though constant humiliation, impediments and disapproval in order to reach his objective. Een though Isamu had it much easier Hanzo need resented him and made the most of his station in order to learn the different martial arts, even that which is mainly used by shinobi. He wanted to learn as much as he could for he loved learning and knew that it would all contribute to make him an exceptional fighter. He had the conviction that once he surpassed the nobility with his knowledge on tactics and his mastery in combat then they would be unable to prevent him from becoming a General. That day came and he was appointed General nearly at the same time as Isamu and for that his family was extremely proud.

It was in the middle of him preparing to become a General that his Seishi powers came to light. He was protecting a village from raiders and once he saw the horrible things they had planned for the women and children the ‘Emptiness’ symbol shone on his forehead with a white light. He saved everyone with his neatly found powers but that also confirmed him as a Genbu no Seishi. He trained arduously to master his powers with the help of Isamu not much after Isamu’s Seishi abilities also awoke. It was at that time that he travelled to Hokkan escorting an ambassador and he met with two Seishi and the Miko. However, the girl was distraught no matter how they tried to make her comfortable and reassure her that she was safe with them as her celestial warriors. After travelling to Mount Taikyoku and speaking to Taiitsukun she decided to give up the mantle of Miko and return to her world. This disappointed Hanzo as she left at a difficult time and in a way it made him wonder about the selfishness of people. However, that enabled him to return to Konan and continue climbing through the ranks with his friend Isamu.

It was during the times he worked hard to become a General that he met his future wife Junko who supported him every step of the way and need gas up on him. She encouraged him when everyone else mocked him and he swore to her that once he became a General he would ask for her hand in marriage. Around the time he was proclaimed General he proposed to Junko and asked for her family’s blessing. It was all around that time that Kykio expressed her feelings toward Hanzo but he rejected her, for he loved Junko. That did not dissuade her from constantly harassing him and even after he married his sweet wife, she still made advances. He did not wish to be rude to her infant of their fellow men-at-arms and so he politely avoided her the possible and he did his best to spend most f his free time with Isamu, his best friend, or his wife Junko. Probably not the best way to sole the issue but he did not want Kykio to ruin her honour and her hard work due to her unreciprocated and scandalous obsession toward him.

One day, Isamu went missing and Hanzo looked for him for a very long time before he found him and helped him escape the clutches of his nemesis Akhram. They came across him depending the borders of Konan and the man took an instant dislike for Isamu and ever since then he did his best to destroy him. Hanzo was always there for his friend, just as Isamu had been there for him. But nothing could prepare him for Akhram’s vindication. One afternoon, when Hanzo had finished early, he returned to his home village in order to is it his parents and beloved wife when he found the whole thing had been set on fire and now only ashes remained, he felt dread at the scene before him of chawed corpses of all kinds of people, animals, and no building survived the fire. He rushed to his home and found it utterly destroyed and the only thing that remained of his wife was a necklace he had given her. He grabbed it in despair and put it on. Later that night when reaching a neighbouring town he was relieved to find his parents alive and well, but the pain of losing his lovely and innocent young wife shattered him in such a way that a change befell him. He was no longer the carefree and cheerful man he used to be.

When his friend abandoned the army to pursue the freedom of protecting the innocent, Hanzo followed suit. Disillusioned with the reality of war and how being a General had not been enough to save his sweetheart, he took his belongings, the biwa he had mastered and told his parents he would become and errand bard. He was clearly skilled with music and he knew he would be successful. He wished to learn the latest gossips, help people in need and not have to depend on any orders given. His family thought this was the only way for him to move on after his loss and accepted knowing he would always come to is it them and ensure they knew he was safe.

He bumped into Isamu on occasion and they ket sending each other letters to keep their friendship strong. One thing he did not know was that heya s the reincarnation of a precious Seishi called Shinta who had served a Miko called Hitomi. But as with other reincarnations he had no knowledge of this.
