Description: He possessed black hair which was tied in the end with a topknot. He also wore a simple khaki samurai gi and simple zōri sandals. As a zombie, Kyuuzou has several bandages covering part of his skull face. He has no eyes and no nose. He wears a samurai gi with intricate designs more detailed than his original garb. He also wore geta instead of the zōri sandals of his past life. He has a blue stomach band, but with a different design. He also wears a blue scarf that covers part of his mouth, and his sword at his side. His black hair was also replaced with white hair. It probably turned white with age while he was still alive. His body seems to be in well condition from his constant preservation of his curse of unlife but the years of age can be seen in his skeletal features and the massive amount of stitches covering his body.

PERSONALITY

Personality: In life, Kyuuzou followed a strict personal philosophy centered around justice and honor. He strongly believed that saving a life was a debt that must be repaid by those with virtue, and that repaying this debt was the way of a true swordsman. To this end, he would occasionally follow the request of someone he owed almost blindly, even when it would otherwise contradict his other beliefs. He also believed that a battle should be measured by what was protected, rather than how much fame is gained.
As a swordsman, Kyuuzou had a peculiar habit. Whenever someone touched their sword sheath with his, even by accident, he would immediately take this action as a form of challenge for a duel to the death. This behavior stems from his belief that the sword is the swordsman. Despite his honorable intentions, this habit would get him into needless and bloody confrontations.
Even as a Zombie Kyuuzou hasnt lost his honorable ways but now tries to avoid conflict not wishing to bloody his sword any longer. He still loves to spar with others but hold back afraid he may kill them. Other than that he has kept his quirky and funny attitude with joking around and helping those around him. Even with the loss of his tastebuds and stomach he still loves to drink tea even though it gives no flavor or taste.
Motivations:

• One of Kyuuzous true goals is to undo the curse which keeps him alive so he can finally rest which actually leads to his second motivation to find a worthy opponent to end his unlife this is why he joined a guild in hopes of finding someone to kill him.
  
• His second motivation is to find a truly worthy opponent who can defeat him in combat. Such as another swordsman who still goes by the way of the sword anything less could be dishonorable to him. Even if he could find a opponent he wishes to test them and see if they have what it takes to end his unlife.
  

Fears:

• Never dying
  
• Losing his freedom
  
• Being hunted by those who think he is a monster
  
• Having his past catch up with him
  

Likes:

• Fighting a worthy opponent
  
• Death[Because he wishes to finally die, but in a honorable fight with another swordsman]
  
• Watching events unfold
  
• Taking Naps
  
• Meditating
  
• Drinking Tea
  

Dislikes:

• Weak people
  
• Righteous Fools
  
• Those who forsake power
  
• Magic Council
  

Positive Characteristics:

• Acrobatic (+3): You have excellent body awareness and coordination.
  Explanation: Character can perform flashy moves such as back flips, cartwheels and various other moves when dodging an attack.
  
• Agile (+3): You are particularly flexible and poised.
  Explanation: You can dodge an attack up to B Rank, so long as it is feasible for you do to so (AoE excluded). Usable once per thread.
  
• Alertness (+4): You have finely tuned senses.
  Explanation: Passive D Rank hearing, sight, and smell buffs.
  
• Diehard (+2): You can remain conscious after attacks that would fell others.
  Explanation: Allows for 1 A-Rank spell to be shrugged off. Damage is still applied, but no pain is shown. Limit of once per battle.
  

Negative Characteristics:

• Aloof (-1): Your manner is cold and unapproachable, distancing you from friends and strangers alike. Your preternatural intelligence lends itself to viewing others as slow-witted and a waste of your precious time. Your charisma is lowered.
  Explanation: You can't act nice to people and you can't make friends easily.
  
• Bad Reputation (-1): You have a reputation that angers or frightens people. Examples include being unlucky, petty, or cruel. The rep may or may not be accurate, but in either case, word travels faster than you do.
  Explanation: You can't communicate easily with non player characters. Somehow they've heard of you and the things they've heard weren't too good.(Being one of the undead this world has branded him a dark creature making it hard for him to get into guilds or even live in town because of his appearance. He is even known to be violent to those who touch his sword)
  
• Bruise Easily (-2): Each time you take bludgeoning damage, including that from falls, you take more damage than any other person.
  Explanation: You will take extra damage from bludgeoning damage, whether it was done through a spell or not. The damage received from bludgeoning damage is increased by one class if it's a spell.
  
• Colorblind (-2): Though this is a misconception, for roleplay purposes, you see everything in black, white, and shades of gray.
  Explanation: You can't see colors. You can therefore never refer to colors in your roleplays and everything that requires you to see a color can't be done by you.
  
• Disfigurement (-2): A hideous disfigurement makes you ugly and easy to notice and easy to remember. Whatever your particular choice of disfigurement, it has to be something blatantly obvious to a casual glance. In addition, as it is a birth deformity, it cannot be healed, though you could employ magics to cover it via illusions in some instances, and perhaps utilize high level magics to transform yourself into a more pleasing form for the duration, though you'll always have the lingering fear of it being dispelled.
  Explanation: You have a visible major disfigurement.(As most can see his body is in a stable form but has degraded over the years giving him a skeletal look to his face and his body is covered in stitches to keep it from falling apart)
  
• Reckless (-1): You lack the emotion of fear. Unfortunately, it is often an important cue that keeps men from doing foolhardy things. Sure, you don't flinch at the sight of even the most hideous monster, but neither do you feel the need to run away when outclassed.
  Explanation: You can never flee from a fight with someone who is stronger than you.
  
• Judgmental (-1): You form opinions quickly and change them very slowly. You also have a tendency to judge people on their appearance. A man dressed as a pirate, no matter how gentlemanly, is a scoundrel and a dog as far as you is concerned. A man covered in mud is a peasant, and a woman wearing revealing clothing is a prostitute.
  Explanation: You must act very disgusted and displeased when your dislike comes into play.
  
• Daredevil (-2): You only really feel alive when you're staring death in the face. Your character is addicted to the thrill of death-defying stunts, pushing themselves to the limit at every available opportunity.
  Explanation: You can't refuse the opportunity of engaging into combat with anyone or anything that is stronger than you. You also always volunteer and perform tasks that have a risk attached to them when you are in a group.
  

MAGIC

Magic: Blade of the Accursed
Type: Holder
Classes: Offensive, Defensive, Buff
Element: None
Description: This blade has been with Kyuuzou for his entire life and unlife. It seems to never age and carry a special power which absorbs souls of the fallen people it has slayed over the ages. It can even channel Kyuuzous chi energy into the blade to enforce it and make it cut objects as if they where butter.
The unique strength of this blade is its ability to allow Kyuuzou to use his chi through the blade strengthening its durability and enhancing its cutting power. The skills he knows now are whats left from his past the others were lost in the passage of time. Some techniques he knows are blade thrusts that do piercing damage or slashes that extend via the wind sending a wave of wind at his opponent.
Weaknesses: Since the blade cannot be used without being in Kyuuzous hands its powers are easily defeated by knocking the blade from his grasp making him useless in a fight. And being a sword is has very limited reach making it hard to fight from afar. The biggest weakness is Kyuuzous ineptability to use the blade he usually keeps it in its sheathe and fights with it making him seem like a passive man not wanting to fight anyone anymore.



HISTORY

History:  To know of Kyuuzous past is to know of ancient times when the land was ruled by the sword and magic was just starting to blossom in the land. His life was that of a ordinary samurai who wandered the land as a ronin one who didnt serve a lord. He lived to help those around him and was very skilled with a sword and was considered the best swordsman at the time. This was proven on how he always seemed to challenge any swordsman who touched his blades sheath. This made a rumor spread to the other lands and lords that he was a undefeated samurai who needed no lord to carry out his sense of justice. This angered one of the lords who sent his best samurai to end this man but as with the many others they fell before his blade. Until this lord sought out a person who has claimed to master the dark magics and said he had a perfect way to handle this samurai.

It was on that fateful day Kyuuzou met this magician who played underhanded tricks to get his attention by setting fire to a village and killing most of the inhabitants. This angered Kyuuzou to draw his blade and attempt to end the magicians life but he was frozen in place by the mans cursed magic as he continued to chant a spell which surrounded and engulfed Kyuuzou in darkness. As the darkness faded Kyuuzou woke up to find the village nothing but ashes and the magician gone the words echoing though his head "With this curse you shall never find peace in death". The words were a enigma to Kyuuzou as years went by and more continued to challenge him until the day he was finally bested by another samurai who stabbed him through the heart. But what came next was something that made him understand the words of the magician as he didnt die from the stab which he woke up shortly after. His heart had stopped but he continued to live.

Years went by as Kyuuzous body began to rot away but still not dying from the passage of time. His black hair became white and his face became skeletal which he hid with a scarf and began to hide with bandages. Those who he knew or loved died long ago even the magician he sought to help break the curse died in his hands as he revealed the only way to break the curse was to be bested in honorable combat with a good friend. Which was hard for someone to make friends with a face like his now. He began to wander the lands watching as the way of the sword died off making even harder to find one to best him in combat which many of had tried but just fell before his blade like all the others. With the passing of time Kyuuzou became more seclusive and hopeless on breaking his curse even to the point of not wanting to kill another with his sword. In this new era those who know of him call him the cursed swordsman a being destined to never die but to only live in forever suffering. Kyuuzou just now wanders these lands waiting to find one worthy to beat him which will be the only time he would unsheathe his sword.

Hello

I know I private messaged you your old app, but please just c/p the old info onto the new template. For example, class does't exist anymore, so you'll need to use the current template.

Edits made and app reformatted

So are you just making your magic enhanced swordsmanship?

Remove any part of the magic pertaining to learning the skills of another, since that is Memory Make. You can't use the abilities of anyone else. NPC's you create are fine but you don't need that in the magic

Removed that part but yes it will be npcs not pcs

"The unique strength of this blade is its ability to allow Kyuuzou to use the techniques of those he has defeated in the past."

Remove any part of the magic pertaining to learning the skills of another, since that is Memory Make. You can't use the abilities of anyone else. NPC's you create are fine but you don't need that in the magic


Be sure to state if your sword have a single element or none.


Also please take note that your character is not immortal and if he enters a killing viable thread he can be killed.
