Genkei Zenjiro

Consider that which exists to exist and that which does not exist to not exist, and recognize things just as they are. With such a frame of mind, one will have divine protection even though he does not pray.

Description

The Bushidō code is typified by seven virtues:

* Rectitude (義 gi?)
* Courage (勇 yū?)
* Benevolence (仁 jin?)
* Respect (礼 rei?)
* Honesty (誠 makoto?)
* Honor (名誉 meiyo?)
* Loyalty (忠義 chūgi?)

Name:Genkei Zenjiro

Eye Color:Violet

Hair Style: Top Knot

Hair Color: White

Clothing:

*A-E

::Hakama:: The hakama is a skirt-like piece of clothing. It often is black, white or dark blue. The hakama has a small piece that presses against the lower back of the wearer. Two main types of hakama are umanori hakama and and on hakama. Umanori hakama were originally intended for wear on horseback, and resemble split-legged trousers. And on hakama have no separate legs and were worn during times of peace. Hakama have seven pleats: five in front and two in back. The pleats represent the seven virtues of bushido: Rectitude (gi), courage (yu), benevolence (jin), respect (rei), honesty (shin), honor (meiyo) and loyalty (chugi).

::Kimono and Kataginu::The kimono, a long robe-like garment, was typically worn under the hakama. The kimono of a samurai was made of soft material such as silk, and was dyed in dark, subdued colors such as black or navy blue. Samurai children, according to Samurai Archives, dressed in brighter colors. When they came of age, they switched to the more subdued adult style of kimono. A kimono could be worn with one sleeve off for martial demonstrations such as swordsmanship or archery. Samurai wore a sleeveless jacket known as a kataginu over the kimono. The kataginu had exaggerated shoulders and had the samurai's crest stenciled onto the shoulders.

::Waraji and Tabi:: Samurai wore straw sandals known as waraji. These traditional samurai sandals consisted of woven rice straw rope with loose straps, which wrapped around the instep of the foot, back around and tied around the ankle. Waraji sandals were light, cheap and easy to make, despite their comparative lack of durability and protection for the feet. Tabi were split-toed socks intended to make wearing waraji easier. The split was between the big toe and second toe. Tabi color varied by the season.

::Obi:: The obi was worn as a belt over the hakama. It was made of thick white cotton and wrapped thrice around the waist, just above the hipbone. The obi held the katana and wakizashi of the samurai. The wakizashi, or short sword, was thrust sideways through the innermost and middle layers of the obi. The katana, or long sword, was thrust through the second and third layers of the obi near the left hip.

::Sarashi::The sarashi, or torso wrapping, was traditionally worn to make battlefield injury more difficult. Like the obi, a sarashi consists of a length of thick cotton, wrapped around the midriff up to the chest. Samurai women in feudal Japan could also wear a sarashi to bind their breasts.

Skills/Abilities:

1.) Shino Ippo: One of the most feared Nikaido Heiho techniques. By using his "kenki", the spiritual energy that a warrior develops in a combat, on his opponent, Genkei can penetrate his opponents mind, putting him in a paralyzed state. This technique can be used to prevent the opponent from retaliating, but it can also be used to kill the opponent. By concentrating all his force on his opponent, he can paralyze every muscle and every nerve in his body, causing him to stop breathing in a few minutes.

A.) Haishato: A technique to surprise the opponent. By passing the sword from one hand to another superbly fast behind his back, he can switch his attack, surprising the opponent. This effect can be crucial in a fight, by confusing his opponent he gets the chance to strike, sometimes determining the outcome of the fight.

B.) Hyoko no Jutsu: One of Genkei's secret techniques. By using the Shin no Ippo on himself, by reflecting his eyes in the blade, he hypnotizes himself. This causes his reflexes to improve, and his strength to increase, making him an even more dangerous enemy.


2.) Shukuchi: Genkei's apparent lack of emotion, his simple, insensitive mentality that the strong will live and the weak shall die, and his skills make him a formidable foe. As a master swordsman of his own style, His shukuchi utilizes such powerful speed that, to an observer, it appears that the distance between the two fighters has shrunk (hence the name shukuchi, which means "reduced earth").

Genkei is also well versed in the Battōjutsu style. Combining the true speed of shukuchi with the Battōjutsu, he has created his only named technique, Shuntensatsu (瞬天殺, lit. "Instant Heaven Kill"), meaning "immediate killing by heaven's sword". It is named this because the speed behind the attack is so swift that the opponent dies instantly before falling to the floor.

Personality

Genkei is of a neutral good alignment and believes that there must be some regulation in combination with freedoms if the best is to be brought to the world--the most beneficial conditions for living things in general and intelligent creatures in particular. As a person of this alignments see the cosmos as a place where law and chaos are merely tools to use in bringing life, happiness, and prosperity to all deserving creatures. Order is not good unless it brings this to all; neither is randomness and total freedom desirable if it does not bring such good.

He values both personal freedom and adherence to laws. Genkei feels that too many laws may unnecessarily restrict the freedom of good beings. He also believes that too much freedom may not protect society as a whole and encourage counterproductive divisions and in-fighting. They promote governments which hold broad powers, but do not interfere in the day-to-day lives of their citizens.

He values life and freedom above all else, and despise those who would deprive others of them. He sometimes finds himself forced to work beyond the law, yet for the law, and the greater good of the people. He is not vicious or vindictive, but a person driven to right injustice. Genkei always attempts to work within the law whenever possible, however.

To him a good being, life and the assurance of other creatures' rights take precedence over all else. This is not to say that this character will have an aversion to taking another's life when faced with a choice between an attacker's and his own, however. He also believes that law and chaos are merely tools to use in bringing life, prosperity, and happiness to all deserving creatures. Neither numbers nor individual concerns have any bearing on decisions regarding the needs and rights of any given creature. In other words, in the view of Genkei, rarely will either the needs of the many or the personal desires of an individual outweigh the needs of any other creature. All life is given even-handed treatment. As with all beings with respect to law and chaos, self-reliance is a cornerstone of a neutral good being's personality. In a crunch, Genkei trusts in himself and in no other individual or group. This doesn't mean he can't make friends and develop trusting relationships with others, however. Genkei isn't normally as independent as other beings, and he can cooperate in groups. But he won't always trust a group to be more effective than he could be themselves.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

::Weakness:: Being completely human, he is much more susceptible to just about any form of damage. While his Shino Ippo Spell allows him to maximize the potential and become inhumanly strong--he is not super human. Being human, his senses may be heightened due to the rigors of his training, but they too are not as good as some demons this their respective fields.

Equipment

::Uchigatana:: The Uchigatana was modestly longer and sharper than the Katana was and was primarily a weapon used from horse back. This sword became popular for several reasons, the uchigatana was more convenient to wear and did not get in the way of using a polearm as much as a tachi, also the frequency of battles fought on foot and the need for speed on the battlefield, were major reasons for the uchigatana being rapidly accepted and indicated that battlefield combat had grown in intensity.Since it was shorter than an Odachi or pole-arm, it could be used in more confined quarters, such as inside a building.
