Shino Hatake

“Swinging your blade out of a sense of duty is what a king does. Swinging your blade out of hate is nothing more than base violence. Kings don’t refer to that as fighting.”

## Physical description

### Eye color

Green

Shino Hatake is a man of honor, pride, and wisdom. He became King of Camelot at only the age of 21.

## Appearance

Shino is a tall, lanky man with turquoise eyes. His hair is spiked and white, which tends to draw attention. Because his constructs weapons out of ice, he is usually seen wearing a shirtless jacket and long skin-tight pants.

## Personality

Shino is a lazy well mannered guy. He tends to be generally mature and serious but has a soft spot for those he can trust. He hates being the center of attention as evident when he has to give speeches to Camelot as King. He also, more than anything, dislikes those needing help from him who are not within his kingdom.

## History

*Shino came from an abusive environment. He didn’t know a home. Love. Friendship. If it wasn’t for Toshiro-sensei, he probably would’ve planned to take over the world given his sad backstory. But he didn’t. Toshiro, a mysterious swordsman, came from a foreign land. He took the liberty in rescuing Shino from that awful environment and raised him as his own. In order to expand more on their bond, I’m going to have to throw in a small curveball. But before that, let me give some context. Toshiro-sensei was so skilled he fought against 10 holy knights and beat them all. Some even say his skills were on par with the legendary “Seven Deadly Sins”. But despite all that… it only took 1 man to kill him. And he didn’t even have to kill him…*

*“T-Toshiro… sensei…”*

***Shino sniffled, snot and tears flowing from his saddened face, his sword having pierced an artery of his former master. Toshiro smiled, coughing blood, gently putting his forehead against his students’.***

*“P-promise me you won’t swing your b-blade out of violence… B-but out of duty…”*

***Shino shook his head, his face clenched in anger as he held his master, the both of them dropping to the ice-field ground. Tears of sadness dropped onto Toshiro’s lifeless cheeks.***

*“I promise… I promise…. I promise I’ll lead this country to your image, master…”*

***With a smile, Toshiro passed from this life to the next, ice blades shooting from every portion of that ice-field they were contained in, the screams of Shino echoing within it.***

## Abilities, Equipment and Techniques

### Magical Ability

* **Instant-Thermal:** Shino’s magic allows him to manipulate the temperature, a form of kinetic energy between particles at the atomic or molecular level; the greater the movement of these particles, the greater the thermal energy and reversed. Shino cannot materialize thermal energy from within his body. Meaning he cannot produce heat or coldness on his own. This is known as “energy-in-residence”. He can only manipulate temperature, making his magic “energy-in-transit.

### Techniques

* **Autonomous Perception:** Because Shino can manipulate temperature, he can feel anyone’s presence based on the movement of particles in the air. However, the ability will not be able to allow him to see who exactly is approaching him or if an animal is in his vicinity, making it only a technique used to stop any type of sneak attack.
* **Thermal Ice:** Shino’s signature technique allows him to slow down the particles in the air to create icicle constructs. However, he can not shoot these constructs at his enemy. He is only able to use them as weaponry objects. He uses this to create his own sword.
* **Thermal Combust:** Shino opens his palm, facing the direction of his target, rapidly increasing the kinetic energy between particles at the atomic level, immediately allowing particles to heat and combust (explode) at the enemy’s location. When Shino does this, he requires a lot of concentration meaning his other abilities would be turned “off”. Only good for 1 v 1 fights.
* **Sub-Zero:** With a wave of his arms, Shino manipulates the temperature to supercool temperatures. Unlike rain and snow mixed ice pellets, or hail, freezing rain is made entirely of liquid droplets. The raindrops become supercooled while passing through a sub-freezing layer of air many hundreds of feet above the surface, and then freeze upon impact with any object they encounter. The resulting glaze ice can accumulate to a respectable thickness and be quite heavy.

### Weapons

* Ice-Constructs: Using his magical ability, Shino can manifest ice constructs as weapons.

## Relationships
