Thread: Monster X Samurai [Character Profiles]

Fujin - The Shinto God of Wind See more Kaze-no-Kami Age Ridiculously old. Species Monster Appearance Fujin appears to be a green skinned Oni with wild red hair and a bulky upper body that remains shirtless. His skin is like sculpted emeralds and his eyes change colors on whim. While he often wears simple brown slippers and baggy white pants, he can change both size and his clothing on whim as well. A constant detail outside of his monstrous evil shape would be his thumb and three fingers of both hands meant to symbolise the four directions. His true form always has two toes, whether what he is wearing displays this or not. Immediate Affiliation NA Gender Male Sexual Preference Women, if he finds interest. Brief History Fujin and his more popular brother, Raijin are both offspring of Izanagi the first male of the Shinto gods. Their influence is contributed to various weather phenomena around Japan throughout history. Fujin's domain is the wind, resulting in all sorts of either beneficial or malevolent occurrences like Typhoons or warding off invaders of Japan. Although it is more common to hear of short tales about his brother, parents teaching their children how to conduct themselves to avoid Raijin's thunderous wrath, Fujin can be a bit nasty himself. Various artifacts and creatures and cultures can trace their lineage back to this green wizard of the skies. This includes Futenbayashi, the sword that the Sacred Vale tied to Eto Roman to save his young life. While such a weapon seems immediately fierce in both power and convenience, this is a mere trinket in the ancient eyes of this deity. Although, even though he could craft another if he finds himself troubled with more enemies that require rituals to defeat, he does check in on his little creation from time to time. Personality Fujin is often an outsider to the modern world as he no longer floats prominently in modern culture. This is fine by him as it allows him to toy with other powerful creatures out of the immediate context of the human versus monster battle. He lacks traditional human morality as those familiar with his mischief can tell you that he does not recognize any hardfast lines in the divide of good and evil. He may pay occasional special caution to his actions if the concept of getting his brother involved may occur. This is often why he avoids showing himself or making his acts obvious to humans as their recognition of him could lead him into a real conflict with other heavy hitters in his pay grade. To this end, he isn't motivated to act in any immediate or severe way anywhere humans are present. He's only mildly jealous of his brother's popularity. Fujin is a trickster. Mischievous. He doesn't fawn over mortal struggles or their feeble treasures. He extracts his entertainment by thwarting the efforts of particularly motivated powerful beings, especially if he can demonstrate his cunning by acting entirely without being noticed. There is a fondness that he extends to Futenbayashi, and to some far lesser extent, Roman. Like an adult fawning over some childhood toy. This isn't nearly as obvious or potent as his immediate love for his potent bag of winds. PowersAbilitys Fujin possesses immense creative and destructive magical powers. When motivated properly, especially when accompanied by his brother, almost nothing can survive the vast storms and typhoons they can create together. Almost any mischievous spell of deception that can be conceived may lend itself to Fujin's arsenal. Combat-wise, mortals rarely stand a snowball's chance in hell at keeping up with his logic-shattering speed and mighty powerful wind-based ranged attacks. His primary means of combat can be considered to be much like Futenbayashi's wind attacks, except almost indefinitely more powerful and varied. This is blindingly more frightening as he opens the long satchelbag he keeps around his neck in the direction of any foe. While his speed and power output paired with his status as a Shinto God can be quite unnerving, his presence in a fight can only last as long as the physical representation does. His body can be quite easily destroyed by any head-on powerful non-wind-based attack. Once this shape is distorted he must recollect himself and thus no longer has a presence on the battlefield. Any anti-trickster, anti-angel, anti-magic enchantment can get that job done in a hurry. He's not immune to spells and bindings that are tuned for his particular presence in mind. Although his death cannot be secured, he is most certainly not unstoppable. Especially if one had a being like Raijin on their side. And he's frequently forgotten because he lacks the desire to start real fights any way. No rational monster or hunter fears Fujin, especially those that know him. He doesn't care to fight crime or stick his neck out, despite his arsenal of tricks that could allow him to do so in a lesser way without attracting the ire of his kin. Weapons Fujin carries a Bag that floats around his neck filled to the brim with endless wind. Without any discernable special name, this item lends Fujin his immense might and he simply can't compete with those like his brother without it. Thankfully, due to his trickster oriented brain, he has various tactics and sneaky spells that keeps it firmly within his grasp. Any mortal to obtain such an item could prove disastrous. Although they might not be as frightening as Fujin himself could be, he almost always exercises restraint with his potent power. Said human or mortal monster likely wouldn't know how to keep themselves from destroying whole settlements in awful nigh unstoppable typhoons. In the roughest moral observation of Fujin's restraint and his presence keeping others from obtaining such a mighty force, he could be seen as morally just. At least in that finite and specific context. Just to include my take on the Shinto Wind God to the rp lore. While I don't necessarily think playing him would be unfaireven if sound arguments could be made either way, I won't be playing him unless we agree to have him do something plotty. In essence Just for the lore. Not a character I will be playing like Roman.
