Kasutai Hogo-sha / "Wandering Ashes"
Kasutai Hogo-sha is the guardian of the Onibi Wastelands. As of late in the Shinto Realm though, he has undertaken a vicious change. He's been lately referred to as the Child of the Black Onibi. Kasutai Hogo-sha resides in  The Onibi Wastelands.

-Powers / Abilities-
~Prosperous Pyres~ The ability to create and manipulate fire. Kasutai can also absorb fire or heat and translate it into chi for his own use.

~Soul Catcher~ The ability to catch spirits without bodies and eat them. This translates the spirit's energy into his own.

~Fiery Gaia Fiend~ The ability to control stone or mineral as long as it is above one hundred degrees Fahrenheit ( 100 °F ).



-Fighting Style / Weapons-
~Iaijutsu~ This martial art revolves around using the drawing of one's sword as a method of combat. Kasutai plays heavily into counterattacking to his benefit, and thus in combat beckons to be attacked head on.

~Unarmed Iaido~ This martial art translates Iaijutsu's quick and deadly manners into unarmed combat. All of the energy meant to translate into a blade is instead transferred via knifehand thrusts.

~Hotaru~ This is Kasutai Hogo-sha's weapon. It is a traditional katana made of refolded tamahagane, tempered and tested before it was given to Kasutai as a gift long, long ago. But with time and darkness, and enchantments of his change, Kasutai's blade has become far more than just a sword. This always searing hot sword contains the soul of Kasutai's little sister Hotaru. It is said that whenever Kasutai draws the blade, the shrill, horrifying scream of a small child can be heard defeaningly echoing through the land.

~Hono Stones~ Twelve oddly smooth, polished round stones with glowing yellow symbols in them. The symbols almost look like names, but most of them are faded and estranged. These stones are each compacted with Onibi that Kasutai Hogo-sha has captured and stored for his use. These horrible Onibi entrapped in the stones do the bidding of Kasutai's will. These stones in combat float and levitate around his body when plucked from his belt, and can be shot outwards or drawn back in from Kasutai's person.

~Master of the Wastelands~ In all of his transformation into the fiend he is now, Kasutai has gained six fiery arms of spirit energy that radiate a scalding heat. These arms can move to his will, lift lightweight objects, or reach out to touch minerals and heat them up to a degree that Kasutai Hogo-sha can manipulate while he focuses on the enemy.

-Lore and Mythology-
Kasutai Nobudori was a noble samurai once upon a time. He had all in the world to live for. He and his little sister Hotaru were going to conquer the world, and his youthful ambition was unstoppable. But upon having descended his eyes upon a deceitful witch who challenged him to tackle her passions of love, Kasutai was skewered by the yokai witch in a mystical fire while his sister was used as a vessel for another spirit beast to take over and ravage the village with destruction. After all was said and done, Kasutai emerged the fire, his body charred and maimed, but somehow intact. He heard his sister's crying, her spirit still near. So he ventured far and long, gaining tales as the Wandering Ashes. When he returned to the village ruins, he entrapped his sister's soul into a sword so that she could always go with him on his travels. Unable to be normal, and having changed into something so far from man, Kasutai decided to guard others from the darkness of yokai and beasts like the one that tricked him.

...

As of late, Kasutai Hogo-sha hasn't been in his right mind. It seems that he has been cast over with a dark spell while in the Onibi Wastelands. He hides himself away here, destroying all who come too near to his lair and threaten him or the Onibi that he feeds upon.

-Offerings and Capabilities-
To be announced. For those who would dare it, at current date ICly, Kasutai Hogo-sha is in need of cleansing of the darkness that ails him. To be spared of this veil and brought back to his right mind, he may offer something great in return...

Coming Soon!
Just you wait ;P
