Piyaphan Sawangdee

**Piyaphan Sawangdee** is Population's representative in the first round of War of Humanity, going against Anutin Charnvirakul.

He is a Swordman of the Five Holy Swordsman and the current Sound Swordman.

## Appearance

Piyaphan is a very tall, wide-set man of a bulky, muscular build with lightly-tanned skin. His hair is white and of uneven length, the longest strands reaching his shoulders, and is styled with three more notable, shorter clumps arching up to fall as bangs between his eyes and on either side of his face.

Piyaphan uniform along with a wrap of burgundy cloth around his calves with his tattsuke-bakama pants tuck in, and white-strapped Zōri. He also wears two thick, golden rings around his upper arms and what appear to be a pair of fingerless blue gloves, secured around his middle finger with a band of white and his wrists with another set of thinner gold rings, this time with two on each side. As well as this, Piyaphan sports a white head-wrap that covers his hair, leaving only a thin ponytail visible to fall behind his head from between its layers, which is adorned with a large headband of pale gray that's decorated by six light pink gemstones, three large and arranged in a line, and three small and arranged in a triangle to the far left. A chain of smaller, pale blue gemstones hangs from each side of this headdress, framing his face, and he also wears what looks to be red eye make-up around his left eye, consisting of alternating large and small dots that run inwards, towards his eye.

## Personality

Piyaphan is an eccentric and flashy individual, always wanting to be "flamboyant", possessing a need for everything to be flashy and outstanding, even proclaiming that he is the god of flashiness and festivals. This is shown when he gets excited imagining how "flamboyant" it would be if Supatchaya Kontheiyng's blood vessels exploded, and tries to forcefully haul Thanawadee Kettim off to the Caldavar Arena with him so she can unwillingly help him with a Völundr even spanking her ass.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** As a Swordman of Sound, Piyaphan is a very powerful and skilled swordsman and combatant. He has displayed incredible physical feats of strength and speed, being second physically strongest Five Holy Swordman in the current generation as well as being the fastest runner out of all the Five Holy Swordman.

**Musical Score** (譜面 *Fumen*): A technique Piyaphan developed using his heightened sense of hearing to work in conjunction with his Sound Breathing, where he analyzes combat maneuvers and deconstructs the rhythm of his enemies' attacks into sound and reads them like sheet music to the point every fight becomes like a song. This allows Piyaphan to gain an understanding of his opponent's habits as well as their blind spots, giving him an edge against them. However, it takes a long time for Piyaphan to complete the score.

**Shinobi Training:** Before joining the Five Holy Swordman and becoming a fighter of War of Humanity, Piyaphan was a ninja from a family of shinobi. Piyaphan received extremely harsh training that killed all his siblings except for his older brother who became cold and heartless.

**Tactical Intellect:** Due to accumulating tons of experience as a former ninja and Five Holy Swordman, Piyaphan has incredible judgement, making decisions on the fly while in battle with Upper Rank governments to protect bystanders and minimize the damage dealt to the surroundings.

**Master Swordsman:** As a One of the Five Holy Swordman, Piyaphan is one of the most powerful and skilled swordsman in the entire organization. Piyaphan displayed his incredulous and unique swordsmanship skills with his dual Onjuuken Suzune during his battle against Anutin, managing to adapt to the Upper Rank's "mantis-like" fighting style and go toe-to-toe with him for an extended period of time.

## Techniques

**Sound Breathing** (音の呼吸 *Oto no kokyū*): Sound Breathing is a that mimics sound, specifically its disorientating loudness, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques and forms utilize explosives to deal massive amounts of damage while making use of extremely fast movements similar to how fast sound travels as well as the user's sense of hearing.

## Equipment

**Dual Katana Cleavers**: A divine weapon in the form of a provided by the Völundr of the Deities Humans ***Thanawadee Kettim***. Befitting Piyaphan's flashy personality, he carries an equally flamboyant set of weaponry. As his main weapons, he uses two gigantic Katana Swords that are amber in color, which each have a notch in the sharp ends of their blades and are held together at the hilt by a metal chain, making it very reminiscent to nunchucks or kusarigama. His swords are said to have large amounts of explosive power, and it is stated that, until Piyaphan's fight with Anutin, no one had ever survived a blow from them. His hilt is circular shaped with 4 slight indentations and gold in color, there's a maroon ring that connects to the center; it has an outer green border.

**Explosive Beads:** Piyaphan carries dozens of black beads that create large explosions with the slightest impact that are capable of harming the bodies of Government.

**Standard Kunai**: Piyaphan carries around dozens of standard black kunai, which he used to threaten Thanawadee come Völundr with himself.
