Amaterasu/Luffydmonkey100

## Amaterasu

**Amaterasu-Omikami** is the Gods' representative in the first round of Ragnarok, going against Yi Sun-Shin.

Amaterasu is a prominent deity in the Shinto Pantheon, being the Shinto God of the Sun, and is also often regarded as Shinto's Strongest Swordswoman and God. She is known as the "**Rising Sun**" (新興太陽, Shinkou Taiyo).

## Appearance

Amaterasu is a young woman with long, scarlet hair and brown eyes. Her outfit consists of a white sarashi round the upper chest and a red hakama with a gold flame-like pattern at the bottom with black highlights, tied by white strings and no shoes to cover her feet. Amaterasu's hair is tied up in a high tail at the back by a green headband.

## Personality

Amaterasu is a very strict person, often criticizing the bad behavior and habits of other gods, mainly Susanoo and Loki. She is also very impatient, disliking people who don't answer her questions quickly enough. She also has a great sense of pride in her pantheon, and even cried when she was asked by Zeus to fight in Ragnarok, excited to represent her Pantheon in the Tournament. Similar to Yi Sun-Shin, Amaterasu cares little for word's when she fights.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Amaterasu is regarded as the "Shinto's Strongest Warrior" and thus possesses nearly unparalleled power in combat and strength. She is considered the strongest of all the Sun deities, meaning she has fought and defeated all solar deities in heaven (even Ra).

### Physical Abilities

**Godly Strength**: Amaterasu possesses immense physical strength, matching that of Yi Sun-Shin as shown when she could block and parry a majority of his sword attacks with the strength he channeled into his blade, even slicing his one of his Twin Dragon Blades in two. With her phenomenal strength and experience, She can stop the descent of a falling blade and swing it back up at immense speeds, a feat considered nigh-impossible, but is made possible due to her strength as a god.

**Godly Speed ​​& Reflexes**: As a God, Amaterasu possesses an unfathomable speed and reflexes, being able to swing her sword at unimaginable speeds. During her battle against Susanoo, Amaterasu's attacks were so fast that the sea deity was unable to see or even perceive her attacks. Amaterasu was also able to keep up with Yi Sun-Shin's speed and reaction time.

**Godly Endurance & Stamina**: As a God, Amaterasu showed no signs of fatigue throughout her fight with Yi Sun-Shin. Even after being cut multiple times by the Korean Hero (even after losing her arm and eye), Amaterasu didn't show any signs of exhaustion and managed to continue the fight without any issue.

### Fighting Abilities

**Sword Proficiency**: Amaterasu uses a Japanese katana as her weapon of choice, likely possessing over a thousand years worth of experience. She is skilled enough to defeats every solar deity alone and she possesses multiple techniques which she can use to kill and obliterate her opponents. Even after the moment she was born Amaterasu was a master of the blade being able to defeat Susanoo-no-Mikoto in a sword battle.

### Supernatural Abilities

**Semi-Immortality**: Like all Gods, She is eternally youthful, being incapable of dying due to old age.

**Divine Physiology**: As a God, Amaterasu possesses physical abilities far greater than any ordinary Human. Her body cannot be harmed by mortal weapons, however, she can be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons.

**Pyrokinesis**: As the Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu possesses absolute control over divine fire and solar energy and can use it in combat. She demonstrated this ability during her fight with Yi Sun-Shin as she uses her powers to make fire release from her blade. After Amaterasu is awakened the blade itself becomes flaming becoming even hotter than normal.

## Notes

I didn't know how I felt about Amaterasu being in the roster at first since the actual Ragnarök roster doesn't have any women in it but after writing it She grew on me and after I completed her backstory I really liked the character. I wanted to add as much of the mythology Amaterasu as possible but there wasn't much that I felt made her an interesting character if anyone find's anything that might be interesting that I didn't include or allude to I will happily except it. - Luffydmonkey100
