âPhysical Descriptionâ
Eien was born with a crown full of midnight black hair. His appearance, perhaps, rival that of his fathers. He doesn't sport the long, midnight locks of his father, but it is perhaps just as dark. It appears endless, as if the light itself were afraid to reflect off of it. He wears his hair rather short, preferring to keep it out of his eyes as an easier way to manage it. He doesn't like long hair, like his brother and father seem to sport. It is cut in a rather choppy manner, the longer strands falling to the nape of his neck with the shorter strands falling just above his eye lashes. His hair is often kept unkempt, but it falls in a very kept manner. It is straight for the most part, nothing like his mother's soft waves nor his sisters. It is, however, soft to the touch and somewhat fluffy. Kari likes running her hands through it just to mess with him (which he surprisingly allows).
His eyes are perhaps a variant shade of purple. They are rather deep, almost violet in color with a hint of his mother's mahogany. There are times where his eyes will take on a more blue color, mixing with the violet to create a deep indigo color. Much like the rest of his features, his eyes are sharp, producing a rather angled almond shape. Unlike his brother, his eyes are not as lupine in appearance, and instead, almost seem more vampiric. This feature is highlighted by the thin brows that hang at a rather angled situation. His eyes are often misread as apathetic and observant, the latter which is true. He doesn't convey his emotions through his eyes, giving him a very limited facial expression.
His skin is a bit on the pale side, not having much color to it besides a very light shade of peach. It is smooth and unblemished for the most part, having the same marble-esque feature as his father and brother. He has a bit of a feral look to him, and this is only heightened by his height. He stands an inch taller than his father, something that Eien actually prides himself in. He is built with an appearance of someone who is rather frail, physically weak, however; this is far from the truth. Though he doesn't sport the same musculature as his brother, Eien is perhaps far stronger physically than Ryoku. Regardless, it is easy to misjudge his strength by his structure.
âWhat is this love you speak of? There is no such thing as love, only the mutual dependence upon another person. This love you speak of is only an illusion, a mirage of what the heart truly desires. And what it desires, is someone to understand it.â
âPotential Interestâ
Reiko Akarui: Eien is not a romantic person. As a matter of fact, romance seems to be all but existent in his life. It is not something he thinks about, ever, though he isn't exactly closed off to the notion. It is perhaps the way he sees his parents. There is something strong, something undeniably linking the two of them together, and that is perhaps how he views something as the concept of love. Something so strong between two people that it is impossible to ever break. There is no mistaking it though, that there is something bubbling just beneath the surface of Eien's facade when he is around Reiko. She brings a sense of calmness, of normality around him, given the family they have. He enjoys her company very much, and he will admit there is an attraction of sorts to her, though he has yet to discern what it truly means. He does, however, find great amusement in her fainting spells.
âSkillsâ
- â
Swordsmanship || Like all of his siblings, Eien is learned in the art of the sword. He is, by far, the most skilled with one, perhaps rivaling that of his father. He perhaps could beat his father if he had as many years under his belt as his father did, however; he does not and therefore cannot. He does not prefer swords, as odd as it may be, however, and has taken to using tonfa's. He is skilled with weaponry regardless of which one he uses. Tonfa's just happen to be his favorite.
â Cooking || Being able to digest both blood and solid foods, Eien took to cooking his own meals by the time he was six. He always had a flare for the unusual dishes, and since Shizuka wouldn't make him his own, he learned to do it on his own. He is perhaps one of the best chef's around, able to cook almost anything and everything someone may desire. He often helps out Hikari, Farah, and his mother whenever they cook meals, often doing most of the heavier dishes.
âAbilitiesâ
- â Royal Mark || Like his father, and his father's father, Eien has inherited the Royal Mark, the ability to mark the one and unite them both in a very intimate way. This ability is, apparently, only inherited by the males of the Minamoto family, and it is something Eien does not take lightly. There will only be one he will mark as his own, however; so far, he has found most of the female population quite...boring. Needless to say, it is hard to tell if someone will ever catch his fancy, however; there has been a bit of speculation regarding Reiko, his cousin. Still, nothing is set in stone quite yet.
â Pyrokinesis || An ability inherited from his great grandfather, Ichirou, who had the ability to command all elements. Eien only inherited the ability to manipulate and control fire at his whim. The odd thing about this, is that his flames have taken on a rather peculiar shade. While not the normal red or white, or even blue flames, they are a rather dark violet, mirroring the color of his and his parents shared eye color. It is unknown why they are this color, or how hot they burn exactly, but it is speculated that the flames he possesses are rather...peculiar against the flesh of an oni.
â Cryokinesis || Another ability inherited from both his grandfather and great grandfather. Eien has inherited the ability to control and manipulate ice, a shared ability with his younger brother, Ryoku. Eien does not use this ability much as he doesn't much care for it. He prefers using his pyrokinesis overall and only uses his Cryokinesis should the situation call for something a little more...chilled. Regardless, he has mastered this ability along with the others and can use them exceptionally well.
â Amplification || A very odd and peculiar ability. While retaining the nullification ability shared by his family, Eien has inherited the ability to amplify another's own ability. This is usually done by the consumption of his blood, however; Eien is very...very reluctant to share such a thing. The only people he will allow to even remotely feed from him is his sister, Hikari. Though he would share his blood with his family (except his mother since she isn't a vampire) should the situation be dire enough that they need the extra boost.
â Transformation || Like his family, Eien has the ability to shift to a wolf form. Like his parents and brother, Eien's form is that of a pure white wolf, perhaps the closest shade to his mother in the snow white appearance.
âThere are many things I can do and many more I cannot. Do not presume to know my secrets. They are not for you to know, only if I wish or desire for you to know. My secrets are best left undiscovered, for if you know them, it is the means of madness for your soul.â
âOther:â
N/A
âHabitsâ
- â Blank Face || Eien tends to stare at everything and everyone with the same, stoic expression upon his face. His parents have speculated that he is incapable of smiling, as he never smiled once...not even as a child. He just seems incapable of the muscle movement. This, however, does not stop some of his family members from trying to get the hybrid to smile. The only thing he is capable is a slight tilt of the lips that only his mother can induce from him.
â Observation || Since he makes it a habit of watching people, he has learned to read their body-language. He can tell what a person is feeling simply by the way the wind blows their hair, or the sparkle in their eye. Also, it makes him a very analytical thinker, able to conjure something up immediately when presented with a situation. This serves him in a positive way as he can assess who will be a hindrance or an enemy this way.
â Reading || Eien can be found most often inside the library, a book in hand. He often indulges in reading, catching up on history in particular, especially his family's history. There isn't much about them, save for a few things here and there about the Minamoto and Fujiwara family, but even then it is limited information. It does not stop him from trying to delve further into his family history, though there are a few things he finds very odd. There are pieces of information missing from certain books.
âLikesâ
- አBirds || He is unsure of the reason why, but he enjoys the small creatures. Perhaps it is their fragility, the smallness of their forms, or perhaps just how they always seem so free, Eien finds comfort in the small creatures. Unlike his father, and the rest of his siblings, Eien was able to create a familiar, and it is not unsurprising that it took on the form of a small yellow canary named Bibi.
አStrawberries || Something he does not like sharing, but his love for strawberries stems from his mother. Much like his mother, he is extremely greedy with his strawberries. He doesn't share. Ever. Should someone be brave enough to try and take one from him, they may end up with a few missing fingers, perhaps a whole arm if he is feeling generous. Oddly enough, he will share them with his family members, except Ryoku.
አSilence || There are times that call for silence, and when he can get them, he enjoys it. Growing up in the family he did, he takes solace in the moments of peace he can get. Most of the time, he'll be in the library where it is mandatory to be silent and will often use that time to catch up on the musings of the war. Though his family does not partake in the war between the hunters and vampires, he isn't ignorant to it, and knows that eventually they will have to make a choice.
âDislikesâ
- â Subjugation || He can subjugate lower vampires, however; he doesn't like it. It is perhaps one of the only things that he truly dislikes. Something about how pure-bloods make others bow, pisses him off to no end. To know that he inherited this vampiric trait is something he loathes. He will never subjugate another vampire unless he has reason to...and that reason alone has to border threatening his family. If a vampire threatens his family, he will not hesitate to subjugate them.
â Ryoku || He isn't particularly...fond of his brother. Even as children, there has been something the two that borders on a very dangerous rivalry of sorts. Ryoku has always tried to get a reaction out of Eien, and as a result, he loathes his brother. Though he loves him, that doesn't mean he has to like the man. If it were up to him, he would have dealt with Ryoku a long time ago, however; as it is, Ryoku is still family, and he doesn't harm family...even if they deserve it.
â Blood Pills || Much like his Uncle Sora, Eien despises blood pills. He cannot stand the bitter taste and has resorted to taking blood from one of his family members. As of right now, he and Hikari have a mutual understanding. She cannot take blood pills, and he does not like them. They have agreed to provide each other with what they need, Hikari the blood she needs, and he the blood he desires to not replace. There is nothing more between the two.
âStrengthsâ
- ⊠Combat || Eien was born at the end of a war, not the war. As such, growing up in a war-filled place, he has taken to training himself, and with his parents occasionally, so that he could be up to par for when the true battle comes. As a result, he is well-versed in combat, both with weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. He is second-to-none, perhaps his father, and even surpasses his mother in combat. Regardless, he is not one to trifle with lightly.
⊠Patience || Living with a family such as his, Eien was born being patient. With his cousin, Naya's, reckless behavior, Ryoku's constant nagging, it is very hard to wear him down or make him snap. His patience could perhaps rival a saint's, however; even his patience has its limits. If something were to ever threaten his family, that patience can be put to the test. His temper is nothing to marvel at, nor is it anything to provoke.
⊠Control || Eien's control over his beast is unprecedented. He, perhaps, has more control over it than his parents have control over their own. He first shifted when he was seven years old, something that baffled his mother as the rest of his siblings all shifted at the age of ten, including Shizuka when she was but a child. Needless to say, he not only has control over his beast, but also his thirst from his vampiric side. Both are nothing to trifle with.
âWeaknessesâ
- ⯠Apathy || Eien is very apathetic. It is not that he cannot feel emotions, he just lacks the will to care. Emotions are something he chooses to ignore simply because of the fact that they will hinder him, as a result, he can be extremely cold when it comes to his words and the way he expresses himself. Not that he means to be, but it can be a major set back for him. The only thing that could even remotely produce any kind of emotion is his family.
⯠Family || His family is his greatest weakness. He will go to any lengths to protect them, and that is not limited to self-sacrifice. Should someone threaten his family, or even remotely come close to harming them, there is no place that is safe that they can hide. Eien would find them, and he would destroy them. His family is something sacred, despite what his persona may show.
⯠Hybrid || Though this could be considered a strength, it is in fact a weakness for Eien. His vampiric blood is at a constant clash with his werewolf blood, and if anything, Eien is more vampire than he is wolf. This has caused a plethora of problems, especially when it regards blood consumption. He must consume blood on an above average basis. The least he can go without blood is five days. He will drop severely if he were to ever go longer than two days without blood after the first initial five.
âI do not put things lightly. Either take the truth for what it is, or learn to ignore it more. I care not either way how my words affect you. I will not bend to the will of others simply because you are too delicate to handle the truth.â
âPersonalityâ
Calm | Taciturn | Level-Head | Blunt
Eien is a person who does not feel the need to be reserved in his words, nor does he feel the need to sugar-coat them. Directly, and brutally, blunt, Eien will say things how they are, regardless of someone's feelings. It is, perhaps, a trait inherited from his mother, though that is perhaps the only thing he inherited from her. Being careful in words is something that Eien does not believe in. If someone cannot take the truth for what it is, what use does he have associating himself with them? It is a trait that runs in his family, except for of course Farah. It is something that does not bother him though, even if someone were to be honest with him. Nothing phases him like it does most people, and he tends to lack a bit in facial expressions. Despite his blunt tendencies, Eien can be extremely reserved in his words as well.
He doesn't feel inclined to join in on conversations unless they are pertaining to himself or have to deal with his family. As a result, a majority of the time, Eien can be found observing people and just listening to the conversations around him. He would rather remain silent if he could, and would avoid talking altogether if it were possible. He doesn't find conversations worthwhile any longer because they have ceased to interest him. The only people he actually has a conversation with are Reiko, Hikari, Farah, and occasionally Trevor. He has ignored his brother and cousin, Haru, for the most part. If anything, Eien resembles water. He is fluid, graceful, calm, and yet he can also be very fierce and destructive under the right circumstances.
Despite all of that, he is a rather calm individual. He takes things in stride, assessing them and then acting acordingly to fit the situation. He isn't a very trusting individual, and only trusts a handful of people, all of whom can be counted on one hand. Not that he is incapable of trusting, he just hasn't had a reason to trust anyone outside of the five people he does. Regardless, Eien is considered, by his family, to be the calm, rational one. In reality, Eien just lacks the capacity to care for certain things. He doesn't allow his emotions to rule him, and he can withstand the greatest of pressures at a scary level.
âI was born; I lived; I have yet to die. That is all you need to know about me and my past. Should you try to dig any deeper, I assure you, it is something you will not like. I was born at the end of a battle, and the beginning of a war.â
âHistoryâ
Eien was the first born, inheriting most of Hikaru into his appearance, however; Eien wasn't quite like Shizuka and Hikaru. When he was born, he was an extremely calm child, never once crying or throwing tantrums. He took everything in with apparent fascination and had a hunger and desire to learn. Even with the antics of his parents, their personality never rubbed off on him. It was often questioned if he was truly their son or not, however; his grandmother, aunt, and uncle are willing to give testament to that. It was also proven when he shifted. Despite his appearance, Eien shifted into the mixture of color between his parents, appearing as a metallic silver wolf. As a child, Eien was always calm, calculative, and observant. He learned at a faster pace than most children his age, and would have been considered a prodigy had he not grown bored with certain things. He and his father always had a rather odd relationship.
Though he learned most of his abilities from Hikaru, there was always this underlying need to be better than his father. It wasn't that he wanted to be better than Hikaru, it was more of a need to prove himself to his father more than anything. Regardless, he trained a majority of his life to be the best at what he does now. Eien was six when Ryoku was born, something that had quite confused the six year old. Ryoku was a wild child, always doing things to be destructive. Eien couldn't figure out what was wrong with his brother, and why he seemed so intent on making him angry. He brushed Ryoku off as best as he could, opting to ignore his ignorant little brother up until he was about fifty years old. Ryoku tried to challenge his brother to a fight, and had Eien not been as reserved as he was, Ryoku might have found more than what he bargained for.
When Eien was eighty years old, he was introduced to his baby sister, Hikari. He was a bit fascinated at his baby sister, wondering how something like Ryoku could be born, followed by her. He wondered a bit if there was something wrong with his mother's hormones during child development, however; he merely shrugged it off as something that was part of his family. He allowed Ryoku to take over the role of protective big brother, however; when Hikari came of age that her vampiric side began to show, Eien and she entered into an arrangement. He would feed from her and she from him in a mutual benefit. He despised blood pills, and she couldn't consume them. There was nothing more than a mutual understanding between them.
About ten years after the birth of Hikari, Eien was introduced, much like the rest of his family, to Farah. He knew not the circumstances of why his parents took her in, however; he wasn't one to question their motives. He took to Farah, perhaps as quickly as Hikari had. Though he was reluctant at accepting her into the family, he eventually took to her. As of now, Eien is attending Cross Academy with his family, something he didn't truly wish to do, however; he can never say no to his mother. He knows that there is a war brewing on the horizon, and as such, has taken to keeping up his training. Even though Cross is neutral, he is not ignorant to the fact that there is something darker looming about, and he isn't thrilled about it.
âIt is only a matter of time. Whether we are prepared for it or not has yet to be seen. I do not know what the future holds for us. But what I do know, is that I create my own future, my own destiny.â
