Fire Daimyo: Hanzo

Template:Character Sheet

## Appearance

A beautiful man standing at 5'8" and weighing at 178 lbs. His body is chiseled and the appearance of perfection with piercing green eyes and long, flowing strawberry blond hair. He wears his hair loosely, sometimes wearing a ponytail depending on the activity he is performing. Due to how he fancied himself as the first 'emperor of Fire Country', he was adorned in a golden robe wearing multiple layers of silk underneath in a traditional manner. His golden robe had sheets of gold inlaid upon it. He wore a wide manner of brilliant jewels as well as a very expensive, jewel-encrusted golden crown. He is hardly seen out of this outfit, however, the layers of clothing beneath his golden robe will be of different colors daily.

## Personality

Once a humble man seeking to find peace throughout the different clans of Fire Country became a pompous and arrogant daimyo. He fancies himself the *emperor* or *high-king* of the Fire Country; allowing the power granted to him to quickly go to his head. He holds himself in extremely high regards, finding others underneath him. He is also a terrible womanizer, blackmailing women to join his harem -- primarily the women associated to those he deemed as a criminal to the Fire Country.

## History

### Childhood

Having grown up in the Yamanaka Clan, he is the product of a Yamanaka father and an Uzumaki mother. He was a kind and gentle child who was popular in the Yamanaka Clan for his abilities in Remote Viewing and Oneiromancy. He had foreseen the invasion of the Senju and Uchiha clans onto their territory and that their clash would result in many, many deaths. Having foreseen this in a dream, he urged to tell the elders of the Yamanaka Clan and desired the information to be spread to the other Clans. However, the Yamanaka Clan refused to tell the other clans and, instead, gathered a vast amount of Wolfsbane to prepare themselves for the onslaught. He was lauded for his abilities of foresight and remote viewing during his youth, that he was forced to train these abilities from a very young age -- robbing him of an, otherwise, normal childhood.

### Unifier of Fire Country

The day had come, several years later, that the Uchiha and Senju Clan would make their way into Yamanaka territory. Through his abilities of Remote Viewing, he gave forewarning to the man Yamanaka Clan of their arrival. However, no amount of preparation could prepare the Yamanaka for the devastating onslaught of their heated battles. Their battles moved through Yamanaka territory like a scourge, leaving only death in it's wake. The deaths of many people he held dear caused something to break inside of Hanzo.

Enough was enough. If the Yamanaka had suffered a terrible tragedy due to their needless war, then he will be the first one to stop this madness. Using his Dream Foresight, he was capable of knowing which Clan would be affected by this needless bloodshed and determined that the Inuzuka would be the next to suffer from the roaming battlefield. After appealing to the leader of the Inuzuka Clan, he was told that his lies weren't appreciated upon Inuzuka lands. However, some had taken Hanzo's words to heart and fled from the warpath. Once the warpath had made it's way onto Inuzuka territory, the Inuzuka (as an entire pack) fled from the warpath and agreed to assist young Hanzo with his journey to get all of the other clans on-board.

For several months, Hanzo and a small band moved across the Fire Country, taking one representative from each clan to visit other clans to get them to join. The clans that were already victims of the devastation quickly joined, but it took more effort to get the ones that haven't received news of the Warpath to join them; generally resulting in devastation to their clan. After all of the other clans joined Hanzo, he organized a massive army consisting of all of these clan members to strike at the Warpath.

It came swift and it came with unbridled force. Through sheer numbers, the armies under Hanzo quickly brought and end to the fighting between the Senju and Uchiha and the declaration of a unified Fire Country was sealed. It was chosen, that upon the border between Senju and Uchiha territory would be the site of the new Fire Country capital city: The Fire Citadel.

### Time as the first Fire Daimyo

Favors were cashed in and big promises were made to key officials and Hanzo was declared as the First Fire Daimyo. He, originally, ruled over the newly formed Fire Country with a fair and balanced hand. Having achieved his master goal of unification and peace throughout the Fire Country, Hanzo was content. He handled the day-to-day affairs of running a country and eventually married his childhood friend, Kanabuki Ina. However, as the years marched on, the power given to him expanded and the influence that he had obtained began to inflate his ego. He yearned for this power and even created a harem filled with many concubines, at least one from each clan, and participated in a wanton lifestyle while eventually ignoring his duties as the Daimyo.

Remembering the past and how destructive Ninjutsu was, he called for a ban on Ninjutsu and ordered the arrest of those who used the now forbidden art. However, as Ninjutsu was part of people's daily lives, using it for non-warlike reasons was reason enough for arrest. As more people disobeyed his edict, he grew more and more disdainful for the people he ruled over, even calling for executions of those that used ninjutsu. He was soon assassinated by his wife; disenchanted with who he had become and over jealousy of his harem. However, he was succeeded by a man with similar ideas to him, but far less draconic. Practical Ninjutsu use was allowed, but war-like ninjutsu would still maintain a ban.
