Name: Shiro Takehiko
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Tengu Youkai
Height: 6’ 2’
Eye Color: Golden
Hair Color: Black
Hair Style: Falls to just below the shoulders, often pony tailed.
Clothing: Simple dark kimono and hakama with tabi socks and sandals. Wears a wide brimmed straw hat if he’s going to be travelling a fair way.
Build: Solidly built but still appears slender.
Personality: Tends to be pretty calm and civil, though he has a cocky streak a mile wide at times. If there’s something he wants he’ll peruse it until it is definitely out of his reach even then he has been known to ‘acquire’ those items somehow later down the road.
Weapons: Carries a naginata and a pair of tanto. The tanto are pretty plain and often concealed in his clothing while the naginata is particularly ornate, white metal feathers adorning it’s hilt, and normally carried with the blade covered.
Rank: Ojuisama (prince) of the Shiro Karasu (white raven) clan, wandering merchant.
History: Takehiko was born into the, some would say enviable, position of prince of the white raven clan, generally infamous for acquisitions made without the owners consent in many fields and having their claws in a lot of profitable businesses. He always craved adventure and often went off exploring much to the disdain of his parents. Though he quickly picked up his studies in arms and business, his princedom never really stuck in his mind as being important. Eventually he was let loose to wander as he pleased, in the hope he’d get bored and return in a more productive state of mind. While that may well work eventually for the time being Takehiko is enjoying roaming the world as a trader and while he keeps up regular contact with his clan he doesn’t have much of a wish to return anytime soon.
Special Attacks:
Feather dance: Takehito conjures a cloud of blinding light feathers that form an illusion of himself shortly after their appearance. The illusion can not move and is dissipated by attacks or after a minute on average but he often uses it flank opponents while they are dazzled by the feathers initial appearance, leaving them looking at the decoy.
Leap of the wind: Takehito can happily jump around six foot straight up and clear pretty impressive distances while running. Of course this is only useful in his human form since he has wings.
Cry of the dark bird: Takehito can produce a high-pitched raven call specifically aimed at overloading the sense of hearing of those around him. The effects can be considered similar to the bang of a flashbang is likely to deafen most creatures for a few minutes as well as cause them some pain. Takehito himself is immune to the effects of his own call.
Important Notes:
In his tengu form he is covered in black feathers and his facial features become avian in appearance, even sporting a healthy beak. His hands and feet resemble bird’s claws and he has two strong, feathered wings. As is clan custom his wing feathers have been dyed white.
His human form remains mostly human though he can’t shift his eyes and some black feathers sprout from where his wings would normally be.
