Hisame
Shizumaru
"Gomen nasai. Mou ikimasu."
( I am sorry. I must
go now.)
played by Andrew Huang
GM Tarot Choice:
| Age: | 16 |
| Height: | 5 foot 1 inch |
| Weight: | 105 lbs |
| Eyes: | Red |
| Hair: | Auburn |
| Skin: | Tanned |
| Parents: | Touga and Hisame Atsuko |
Background:
Hisame Shizumaru is a young man--a boy, really, even moreso
because of his small stature. He is known to be the son of Touga and a
minor Lipunese noblewoman, Hisame Atsuko. She has raised him more or less
by herself, as Shizumaru was conceived out of wedlock--Touga seduced her
when passing through this land, and left soon thereafer--and was banished
to the countryside by her family.
Having been relatively isolated all his life (his mother chose to live outside the nearest village, rather than in it) and largely shunned by family, Shizumaru is overall pretty shy and withdrawn. He did not Play Well With Others, especially since he was an outsider. Instead, he spent most of his time with his mother, and when he got a little older, by himself out in the woods and fields. In his wanderings, when he was ten, he bumped into a man named Haohmaru, a master swordsman and martial artist. Haohmaru saw talent in him and decided to train him to fight, with his mother's approval. Shizumaru eventually became quite adept with a sword and, for some reason, a bamboo umbrella, learning to fight with one, the other, or even both at the same time. He also learned barehanded combat. In his fourteenth year, Haohmaru showed him the Broken Pattern, near his home. The master had walked it himself sometime before, and told Shizumaru that he would be able to walk it as well. About a year later, Shizumaru did walk it, and Haohmaru added the techniques of the Broken Pattern to his training repetoire.
This life was pretty idyllic. Almost boring. And then, one day, a man with a silver arm showed up at his house and tried to kill him. Shizumaru managed to fight the man off, with the help of Utena, but his mother vanished mysteriously at the time. Shizumaru has sworn to find her--and his father, though that is an older promise he made to himself--and came to Amber along with Utena and Corrine. And so, he plunges into the story....
Shizumaru is a quiet and polite young man; there's often a sort
of melancholy, brooding air about him. He's inherited his father's good
looks (and red hair, though it is somewhat spikier, and worn in a ponytail).
He seems to dislike conflict, but is ready to fight whenever needed. He
has some amount of anger toward Touga for having abandoned his mother,
but is not hateful; he long ago vowed to find his father and ask why he
left. He seems fond of Utena and Corrine, as the former was the one who
chased off the man with the silver arm, while Corrine especially seems
concerned about him and his mother. His umbrella seems to be everpresent,
no matter what the weather is.

Ota "Shaft"
Tenjou
"Do NOT fuck with me."
played by "RPM"
GM Tarot Choice:
| Age: | 25 (Amber and Experienced Years) |
| Height: | 6 feet 4 inches |
| Weight: | 200 lbs (All muscle, baby!) |
| Eyes: | Brown |
| Hair: | Pink (Got a problem with it?) |
| Skin: | Dark |
| PArents: | Utena and ? |
Background:
They say this Shaft is one bad mutha...
Utena Tenjou returned from Shadow one day, a baby in her arms.
She declined to comment on its origins aside from
firmly stating that the child was hers. Given that the child
grew up far taller than Utena, with a far more ornery disposition, some
do wonder, though the telltale pink hair of his mother and dark complexion
of his grandmother are shared by him as well.
Ota "Shaft" Tenjou was raised in Amber, his suspicious origins making him a target for teasing. He has utterly failed to display the legendary care and understanding that his mother is known for, but has displayed considerable fighting prowess, like his mother (though not quite as good). That, combined with his already legendary temper and foul mouth (things that his mother constantly bemoans) have gotten him into frequent trouble.
It is said that his attitude changed drastically for the worse after
a trip into shadow in his teens. He returned with an even more surly
disposition, muttering about being "a cat that won't cop out when there's
danger all about".
As for the nickname "Shaft", nobody's sure how he got it. Some say it's because he usually beats the hell out of prisoners during interrogation with one, others say it's because he shoves one up unpleasant places. There are more rumors, all of them unproven. And Shaft ain't talking.
When he isn't beating the hell out of someone, he's often seen with the ladies, and is seen as prime royal bachelor material. Rumor is that he's already romanced his way through the ranks of the chambermaids, and has been seen flirting with Kasumi the Head Chambermaid, which is known to be a hazzardous thing if you don't want your sheets filled with itching powder or worse (though he claims he's just joking around and she knows it)
Currently, he serves as Inspector in the Ward of the Dead Unicorn, one of the most crime-ridden wards of all Amber. He was sent there by his aunt Nanami, which makes some wonder if she has a grudge against him. If he hates it there, it isn't obvious, since he rents an apartment within the Ward and stays there more often than in Castle Amber. Within the city, and especially the ward, he's gained a reputation for being a fixer, someone to go to if you're in trouble. He's earned the trust of many people, resulting in an information network of commoners that can find out what's going on in the streets.
Shaft usually packs an auto-load rapid-fire crossbow, a weapon he's made infamous by frequently shooting people after he's captured them. Along with the crossbow, he weilds the usual sword forged for Amber royalty. On occasion, he'll pull out the "Whale Killer", which he calls his special occasion crossobw, while others call a harpoon gun.
He's shown a distinct irritation towards magic and magic users, believing it to be nothing but trouble. This has not stopped him from using magic on occasion or with associating with magicians. He has yet to walk the Pattern, which make some doubt his claim of royal blood, but he says he'll get around to it later. He's too busy cleaning up the Ward of the Dead Unicorn
Whalekiller
The Whalekiller is a massive crossbow that incorporates magic and technology.
The item is slightly over six feet in
length, made of specially treated wood, metals, and the latest in performance
bowstrings. It's slightly heavier at its end, with iron added to
its stock for bludgeoning purposes. The firing mechanism is far more
complex than your typical crossbow, employing a complex series of pulleys
and gears to give an additional boost to its firing power. The crossbow
auto-loads, able to hold up to four of its standard crossbows in a massive
cartrige that loads from underneath. The bow fires at a rate
of one shot every five seconds. It's said to employ some magicks
as well, though what they are is something the weaponsmith nor its owner
are willing to comment on.
The Whalekiller first appeared several years ago, when Ota 'Shaft' Tenjou was in his first year as an inspector of the Ward of the Dead Unicorn.
There was once a pirate by the name of Dworkin 'Whaleboy' Jones, an infamous pirate known for his ability to command sea life, and whales in particular. He'd been working with some organizations in the Ward of the Dead Unicorn, a part of a large smuggling ring. However, at one meeting, Dworkin felt he'd been double-crossed and decided to wreck vengence upon the guilty parties.
Prince Ota didn't mind when crime families went to war with each other, but when extensive property damage and injuries to outside parties occurs, as what happened when Dworkin arrived at the docks with several hundred maddened whales smashing the place up.
Ota discovered how ineffective regular crossbows were against whales, thus suffering one of his worst defeats in battle. There was a lot of property damage. Many people swore off seafood after day. A few lobsters pinched in unpleasant places.
The Prince Was Not Pleased.
Swearing vengence, he went to infamous underground weaponsmith, Bill 'DUCK!' Vincent (The nickname came from what he and his customers often have to yell inside his machine shop...) and gave him a blunt request:
"I wanna kill Whales. Plural."
To which Bill replied: "Oh. Gimmie a few hours."
A few hours later, he presented Ota with Whalekiller 1.0 Bill believed in blunt naming, he forged the sword Bigpointysword, the axe Bigcurvyaxe, and the the armor Reallybloodytougharmor. Whalekiller was one of the few custom pieces he made that had a good ring to it. The other one was the crossbow Ratkiller, made for Mr. Jenkins who was intending to clear out the vermin in his cheese factory.
The next day when Dworkin 'Whaleboy' Jones came back for another round
of havoc, he faced the most devastating defeat of his career, and the people
of the Ward of the Dead Unicorn enjoyed a large surplus of whale-related
products. Currently in use in Prince Ota's apartment is a set of
dinner utensils carved out of whale bones.
