"Let's begin, shall we?"
Name:
Hajime
Age:
12
~200(previous life before death)
Gender:
Female
Race:
Human
Occupation:
Farmer
Adventurer
Appearance:
Hajime, currently, is a mere 140 centimetres tall.
Unlike the above stated picture, she wears getas.
Personality:
Hajime is sweet-hearted and innocent, unexposed to the world's sins, or at least, that was Hajime before she turned ten. With the personality traits of an old grampy flooding into her, she began to have thoughts of evil. However, the morals of Hajime kept the sins of Owari in check, even as the two once-distinct halves began to merge.
Skills:
With Owari's memories and personality returning to Hajime, so did his skill.
Owari was a great practitioner of chi and martial arts, and this all transferred to Hajime. What didn't transfer, however, was bodily training that allowed him to perform great feats. Being self-trained for two years helped just a little, however.
As Owari, his chi was so powerful, he could convert his electrical synapses into thunderstorms and his body heat into great forest fires. At her current state however, it is but a simple stun akin to a bug zapper and a tip of a candle respectively.
Hajime has skill in improvising nearby items as weapons. A stick, a rock, you name it.
Hajime has skill in mixed martial arts that may even take decades for the modern man to learn. While she has moves from all kinds of styles, her primary school is the
School of End and Beginning. This legendary style focuses on manipulating chi within the body, focusing chi from other parts of the body and concentrating it into one part, be it a palm, fist or finger, to enhance pressure and impact. Chi can be channeled into inanimate extensions such as weapons. It appears to be related to the School
Silent Heavens, as similiar moves within it are utilised, where once chi is concentrated into the finger, pressure points are pressed, not to block their chi, but to temporarily paralyze opponents. One weakness, however, is that the areas with less chi become more vulnerable, but that becomes less of a problem if you are powerful by leagues or wield protection.
Gear:
Tyrant's Maw - A rake used for farming, and combat as well. A trusted, irreplaceable partner, so she calls it. Not even Owari's disbelief in the power of friendship can break their bonds.
Shadowbringer - Her sugegasa. TL Note: Sugegasa refers to an Asian conical hat used by farmers. While a mere accessory at first glance, with enough throwing force or speed, it can act as a razor sharp blade with its thin pressures and hard material.
Bio:
A long time ago, there lived a prince who sought out to be a great warrior, training under Master after Master. His name was
Owari, and a fitting name it was, one might soon find. His father ruled Xanwu, and he was destined to as well. He obtained not only skill, but training of chi lead to greater strength. He did not believe he had enough, so he sought out the Kaguyan relics. Simply having one would grant him power that could exceed an oni in chi manipulation. While they were not comparable to the Six Artifacts of legend by themselves, it was said that a great warrior that wielded all five of them and years of training could match one who wielded one artifact. The power to par with one artifact was a step up to gaining it, and once he gained one artifact, he would work his way towards gaining them all. These five relics, according to legend, were brought to Laoa by rabbit beastfolk who claimed to be from the moon and called themselves 'Kaguyans'.
The Kaguyan relics all had a price - one had to go through the pain of sacrificing a part of their body to wield it, and that part of the body would go on to replace the spots of the relics that were acquired. The crystal orb within the jewel tree of the Hourai Forests substituted places with Owari's left eye. The Swallow Egg in the seas hatched into feathered legs that substituted Owari's amputated legs. The Stone Begging Bowl formed the shape of a right arm and substituted it. The Dragon Collar forcibly ripped his teeth and gums out to become them. Finally, the Robes of the Fire Rat King substituted his skin, though when it latched onto him, it was indistinguishable from his original skin.
The Kaguyan relics had granted him great power. Tainted by it, he saw his father as an incompetent buffoon who was pulling the country back, so he killed him and succeeded him. Thanks to his chi training, he was able to live longer than most humans, allowing him to rule much longer. A long line of events proceeded this, including him ruling Xanwu under an iron fist, and the Xanwu civil war that he saw as his 'first true trial towards godhood'.
Poetically, he was killed in this civil war, a civil war that previously divided Qinlan from Xanwu, and still does to this day. The Kaguyan relics that were latched onto him lost their power as he died, and his sacrificed organs, still in the place that the relics once stood, became the new Kaguyan relics, gaining power from the ones attached to Owari's body. Who killed him - that was a story for another time.
That was the end, an end that ended with premature failure, or was it?
A hundred years after Owari's death, a young girl is born in the villages of Qinlan. Her name was
Hajime, and she was a farmer alongside her family. At the age of ten, Hajime would recall things that would etch into her memory. Her past life, the life that Owari lived. Owari's memories and personality flooded into Hajime's brain, coexisting with her current ones and slowly blending together. Now, the sweet-hearted, pure Hajime had the thoughts and traits of the cruel Owari, both sides battling it out in spirit.
It has been two years. It helps that Qinlan was a hub for all nations, so Hajime can hear updates from all over Laoa. Hajime has been plotting things. Word of the artifacts, the intentions to reacquire the Kaguyan relics and ultimately, kill the Emperor Ia the same way Ia killed the Holy Dragon and rule.
Unfortunately, with Hajime being part on the conscience, it will be much more difficult, a worthy trial on the path of becoming a god amongst men!
"Man, demon or god, they will all be under my domain. Everyone who rebels against me will be felled by my fists, and that alone is proof of my strength. If weapons are to be seen as trusted partners, then I will use but myself!"
