Suzaku (Spirit)

Yang Release

The bird, one of the Four Symbols has absolute control over all that is fire in its presence it is also notorious for its nigh regeneration and resurrection through fire. It is noted that it is passed on in Goka Clan and persist to do so until now.

Kashi is its host for its fearsome power.

## **Overview**

#### **Appearance**

It is described to be a bird, though its body are made of eternal flames it is noted that it can be described as beautiful to those who lay their eyes on it. At the same time some says it was much foreboding and omen in nature due to its highly destructive nature. In the legend of Goka Clan it is noted to be the source of all that is fire, some says this is how the humans acquire fire.

In its human form it is noted that he can be described as a beautiful ebony-skinned man, with numerous streak of red and orange hair sporting the crimson eyes—one that are more evolved of the Kashogan. At the same time the pupils are red instead of white to indicate he was in fact anything but human.

#### **Abilities**

While it possesses a incredible set of powers it can pass on to its host. Some benefits can be extended to others at the host's discrete.

* As the host to the mighty spirit of fire it grants the power to control and generate even more robust form of fire from within in order to perform numerous things either to destroy, regenerate or even to heal with fire. It is also capable of granting the host its resurrection and regenerate abilities to cheat death by engaging in a stage of rebirth. Their bodies are to be set to combust or engulfed in instantaneous flames until there were but ashes in place and from within a new life is born; in the legend of Goka Clan fire is what gives them life, adding authenticity to their claim.

* In order to perform the resurrection the spirit has total possession over the host's soul in order to keep him anchored to the body, preventing them from going to the pure land. It is also capable of prolonging the life of its host by sharing some of its life force in order to keep them in fit and young in order to spread seeds of destruction.

#### **Disadvantage(s)**

It possesses incredible drawbacks.

* The spirit can be rather fickle and uncontrollable that one could only mediate its anger by taking lives through fire, allowing the spirit to steal the life force and devour the souls of the victims. Though it can be described as picky as it can ignore selected souls such as demons and priestesses, likening them as displeasing taste. Otherwise the host's at a constant risk of being devoured instead.

* The ability to resurrect from the dead can be an amazing one to have though it has a great drawback. For those who was about to undergo their first resurrection it is clear that it would misplace the memories of their previous lives though they can retain the most vital knowledge regarding jutsu, abilities and even more in order to maintain their combat power to invoke destruction. However at a great cost they lost what make them who they are in the forms of loved ones. This shows as the previous hosts can be bewildered and irritated by the sensation of which can't be shaken off; it often can be described as if they were missing something vital this often results in them being angrier for not knowing why. (Though it is noted that it is possible to recover their memories by having a strong association with things that triggers the memories.) On the other hand the resurrection can be dependent on the weather, environment and even other factors that can either sped or delay the time of resurrection. Colder it is, slower it gets; Hotter it is, faster it gets to resurrect.

* It is also noted that when the host resurrects they are to be reverted to a default state in which was their first resurrection. This means that if the vessel died as a child and came back from the dead they could live up to their adulthood and dies, only for them to be reverted as a child. At the same time, the experiments performed on the body can be removed as if there was no trace of it either. Though it can be bypassed by sheer willpower to retain their appearance and experiments (in Suzaku Goka's it indeed was the case)

#### **Mental Plane**

Within the mental plane of the host it is possible to encounter and even to converse with the spirit though it can be rather difficult to stay within as it is described to be a literal hell for those who enters the host's. In the plane it can be described as filled with scorching flames and heat that can be the reflection of one's personality and soul though this was the reason why it can be difficult to linger as it was proven to be too hot for even their consciousnesses. At the same time one can see a giant crumbling tower that was in the center of it all and within is a secret though sounds of chains can be heard occasionally there. It can be rather difficult to enter as it was under the supervision of the Phoenix, and by force the Phoenix is capable of expelling the invaders out of the mental plane with little to less effort.

## **Trivia**

* It is inspired by Suzaku
* It can only be passed down to the bloodline of Goka Clan's clan lord. This means Suhaku's future direct descendants may inherit the spirit after him.
