Name: Gintsuki Kinkiba
Nickname(optional): Tsuki-chan (Nickname from Momo), Bloody Nightmare Gintsuki, Stumpy
Age: 23, but can alter appearance to seem younger
Gender: Male
Species: Cybernetic Human
Position: Good
Powers:Intensity Seal: After spending years in the desert, Gintsuki's body had shifted itself to a constant state of maximum effeciency. Gintsuki was incredibly strong and could survive without food and water for several days due to his body becoming highly effecient in extracting and using energy from the food he had to procure in the desert (which consisted mostly of the blood and meat taken from a giant man-eating worm in Suzumebashi known as a Sand Eater. Despite it's looks, it is extremely healthy to eat). Due to this though, Gintsuki was physically unable to sleep for more than 6 hours, his muscles were unable to untense, his heart beat was constantly high and he could not eat normal food as his body had forgotten how to process things such a large amount of waste and fat in normal foods. In order to let Gintsuki live a semblance of a normal life they invoked a spell similar to Momo's that aged Gintsuki back to when he was 16. Although due to Gintsuki being a short kid, most mistake him for 14 years old. The state allows him to live as a normal human, but Gintsuki's strength is drastically reduced. Though his combat skill is retained, he can only wield Kaminagi in a slightly larger katana form and only has the strength of an adult male. Unleashing the seal turns Gintsuki 23 again, but he is once again unable to become a normal person until he invokes it again. Invoking and unleashing the seal takes time but is relatively instantaneous once the spell is complete. One thing that happens to most people is that Gintsuki has a battle aura that is extremely concentrated. Concentrated enough to actually make weaker people feel sick and his opponents can sometimes feel like he's even more of a giant than he really is.
Cybernetic Integration Network (C.I.N.): After his accident with the Neo Darkside, Gintsuki's left arm and right leg became cybernetic limbs and in order to survive he was given many cybernetic implants. Utilizing these, in sealed form Gintsuki is surprisingly strong for his age since he has the strength of an adult male. When unleashed, his cybernetics readjust, unfold, and unlock the limiters giving him a surprising amount of strength and speed. Despite Kaminagi's weight in standard form, Gintsuki wields it easily in one hand due to his maximum weight-lifting capacity being 1 tonne. Gintsuki also can flash step and this is noted by a hissing sound coming from his legs before he flash steps and appears quickly within 20 feet of his starting location. The drawback is that Gintsuki must do self-maintenance constantly and wounds are harder to heal as Gintsuki himself must personally repair any damaged cybernetic parts. Gintsuki also risks organ failure and mechanical malfunction the more he pushes himself.
Burst The Limit: Gintsuki's greatest ability is to unleash some of the true power of his sword: Kaminagi. Kaminagi takes on it's true form and becomes 10 feet long by default, with the ability to grow up to the size of a medium-sized house for it's ultimate technique. Gintsuki's strength and speed multiply allowing him to wield the bigger sword but this state lasts for a mere 5 minutes and his organs are guranteed to fail or possibly even die after the rush. Gintsuki is not yet able to control his power to prevent his organ failure and uses this power as his end-all last resort.
Crystal Gelade: Gintsuki has control over a strange substance. It appears to be a type of dark crystal that sparkles with energy and explodes on his whim. The crystal is hard for a few seconds after being formed, but after that it is fragile and breaking it causes an explosion. Gintsuki exercises caution when using these as he can easily hurt himself or others when using this power. Use of this power is seen by Gintsuki crackling with red electricity before he sends it into his blade and forms whatever shape he desires.
Wu Fei: Although his body is abandoned, Wu Fei has been integrated into Gintsuki's left wrist and assists Gintsuki by opening portals to other worlds. Wu Fei is still experimenting with this tech as the worlds that come up are chosen completely at random and utilize heartless portals by opening them back up as long as they've been used within 30 minutes.
Basic Spells: Gintsuki knows a small amount of magic spells. Useful in the desert, Gintsuki can create a stone house by punching the ground though this proves no purpose in combat as it is relatively weak. An amazing ability, is that Gintsuki can make plants grow at an accelerated rate which allows people to harvest ingredients for potions and antidotes multiple times.
Weapon:Kaminagi (God Slayer):
A sword that has been passed down from guard captains of Suzumebashi for years of their tradition. Gintsuki so far is the fourth to use it's power beyond it's sealed state the first being it's original wielder, the second and third being his late twin sisters. The sword can take many forms, but due to Gintsuki unlocking some of it's power he can change it into a worn katana, a well-made katana, and variable versions of it's default forms when his Intensity and Burst The Limit abilities are activated. It has an ability in Gintsuki's unsealed and Burst The Limit states known as Rev-Up in which Gintsuki can press a switch near the hilt of the sword which fires up an internal booster allowing it to be swung around faster and increases it's cutting power. Using the Rev-Up though can result in a lack of control along with an excess use of energy. Increasing the size of the sword decreases the speed that Gintsuki can wield it with, and thus there is a limit to what Gintsuki can wield the sword at.
Picture(optional):Sealed GintsukiUnsealed Gintsuki with KaminagiBurst The Limit form with Shin KaminagiAppearance:In his sealed mode (referred to as kid mode) Gintsuki appears as he was when he was 16 years old. Unfortunately, being 5 feet tall with naturally young facial features most mistake the poor boy to be 14 or even 12 years old. He has short, spikey white hair with golden almost animalistic eyes and a scowl or something on his face if his scarf isn't on. Gintsuki also wears a sort of tattered brown cloak that seems to also be covered in specks of sand, along with the occassional streak of dried blood (the blood actually varies in color from red to even green). Gintsuki is also a rather dirty looking boy and appears to have sand almost everywhere on him as he hasn't formally taken a shower for over 3 years. How he does not reek of sweat, blood and other bodily fluids is a mystery. He wears what appears to be a normal outfit which is composed of a blue jacket, white shirt and black pants along with Kaminagi strapped across his back in it's sheath. His metallic limbs cannot be seen in this state.
When unsealed (refered to as normal Gintsuki) Gintsuki wears the combat outfit that the citizens of Suzumebashi (AKA: Momo) wanted him to wear. His height increases to it's full 8 feet, and his hair gets somewhat longer but still more spikey. His eyes change to his real eye colors, a green one for his real eye and a red one for his cybernetically enhanced one. His body is initially covered in a black vest with cut off-sleeves/gloves covering his hands and going up to his shoulders along with black pants and red shoes that help hide the presence of his metallic arm and leg. The only way to notice that the limb is metallic is if the glove is ripped up, or to notice that one of his hands/legs appears to have especially sharp nails at the end whic hare the claws poking into the glove. Kaminagi's sheath disappears and he begins to wield it from it's basic height of 5 feet up to a height of 10 feet. Increasing the size slows down his mobility and movement speed. Gintsuki's fighting style switches between wielding the sword one handed and using his off hand for punching or wielding it two handed which can help increase cutting power and control, but weakens his defensive stance somewhat. Kaminagi can also use the Rev-Up ability. Sometimes Gintsuki produces a sake bottle and cup to drink from, but it is not filled with sake. It is actually a purple liquid which is actually the blood of a horrid creature that lived in their desert known as a Sand Eater. Resembling a man-eating worm, Gintsuki now lives on the stuff since despite it's horrible taste and smell, it is almost 100% nutrition and helps the body digest food more effeciently. Gintsuki has become so used to it, he now equates the taste to grape juice. Much like his kid form, Gintsuki still appears to be quite dirty and unkept.
In his final form, Gintsuki wears a ritualistic cloak and kilt much like he did when he wandered the desert. His hair now falls around his face and has red tinges at the ends while Kaminagi becomes Shin Kaminagi and it's default size becomes 8 feet. At maximum, Kaminagi can have enough energy fueled into it to effectively make it the size of a house. This takes so much strength to wield though, that Gintsuki is tired after a single swing.
It is to be noted that in his final and normal forms, Gintsuki has intense scarring over all parts of his body. Some of it appears to be tattoos and ritualistic, while others seem to be from battle. It is actually hard to tell due to the sheer amount of scarring there is.
Pride Lands: Gintsuki takes on the form of a golden wolf with mechanical arms revealed. Kaminagi takes the form of a crescent blade tied around his tail.
Halloween Town: Gintsuki appears to be some sort of skeleton demon as he has a skull mask and seems to be made of intertwining bones that replace his skin and muscles.
Personality:Gintsuki is a relatively quiet person, but also a man who is incredibly respectful and has a sense of honor. Gintsuki even states his name, status, combat number and combat style because it was a habit for two fighters back on his world to begin each fight with these facts known. Outside of battle, he speaks only when spoken to or when there's a question to be asked. He is highly blunt with the things he does, but seems to be good with pets and children despite their initial fright when viewing him. As a kid though, Gintsuki seems to speak out a bit more and is more disrespectful like any kid would be. Despite his initial impression, he does value friends and allies above all else and is willing to join with others if it'll help goals be accomplished faster. Honor is also a value to him and he sighs in disappointment if his opponent is to use more dishonorable tactics against him.
Gintsuki has obvious quirks about his personality. As a kid, mentioning his height will set him off somewhat and this is usually replied to with bonking the mentioner on the head and saying "Respect your elders" while looking mildly angry. Gintsuki also has forgotten certain social standards due to his time in the desert. For example, he eats his food very unmannerly and will walk right into a females only change room because he has forgotten about things like gender barriers. In fact, Gintsuki has forgotten about the joys of women almost entirely. Gintsuki also has no taste in food, as all food tastes good to him now as long as it isn't desert food. When concerning Momo, Gintsuki refers to her respectfully as "Hime-sama" and will rush to protect her from danger. He will however run away frightened if she tries to be affectionate with him and hide wherever he can till she goes away. The reason is that Gintsuki firmly believes that he is as valuble as the dirt on your shoe (which explains his usual humbleness) and believes that Momo can find someone much better than himself.
History/Background:Gintsuki was born the middle child in a normal enough seeming family. Even so, he was the shortie in the family, a foot beneath his younger brother and 2 feet below his twin sisters. Soon though, his parents went exploring in the desert and were never to be heard from again which left him to be raised by his twin sisters Karin and Ai. Eventually the family rocketed into fame as Karin and Ai were found to be bestowed with magic, along with Gintsuki and his younger brother Kit, and they soon lived the life of moderate luxury as Karin and Ai became advisers to the Royal Family. Soon after, Gintsuki would join the knights at the young age of 10 with his brother following 3 years later. Gintsuki was a prodigy at combat, and unique in that he could harness forces other than water and light unlike the other mages, and since he was already fit to defend himself he needed no Defender. Yet, this is what made people scared of the lad as he always felt different from everyone else.
So, in order to make him blend in more he took scrap parts and built Wu Fei, a smaller model Defender, but different from everyone else as he was quicker and his combat style and overall A.I. and design were a far cry from the standard knight look of the Defenders. Wu Fei was one of his best friends and the two could barely part from each other. At 17, Gintsuki became captain of the guard and was debated about whether to wield Kaminagi, which eventually lead to the decision of his sisters holding on to it. Everything seemed fine until Gintsuki found one of the people who would prove to be his worst enemies: Councilor Volk. Volk didn't like Gintsuki, and Gintsuki felt the same way. No one knows what eventually sparked a shouting match between the two which almost lead to a court hearing, but it was obviously something important.
Everything seemed fine, perfect even. Until the day the heartless came. That day is known as the Cataclysm, in which a simply enormous army of heartless and nobodies burst forth from the desert sands and stormed the city. Gintsuki and everyone fought fiercely and they seemed to be winning until the heartless brought out their general. Known as the Neo Darkside, it towered over all of the Centre itself and penetrated the Egg, wreaking havoc and destruction on everything. Gintsuki took up Kaminagi to fight it, but in the process incured a massive injury which ripped off his appendages from his left side. Seeing no other way, Gintsuki's sisters chanted an ancient spell that took their whole being and used it to seal away the Neo Darkside. Though for how long no one knows.
After the Cataclysm and the city recovered, Gintsuki was in the hospital fighting for his life against his wounds and his mind still torn over the death of his sisters. During this, a court hearing was held to find out why such a breach had occured in the Egg which caused the Neo Darkside to enter. At the end, with Councilor Volk at the head of the prosecution, Gintsuki still in the hospital, they announced that he was responsible for the Cataclysm and branded him a traitor to the Royal Family. He was looked at with disgust by the citizen's adults but the children know he is not to blame. Something else let in the Neo Darkside, and Gintsuki would find out what it was even if it cost him his life. He stood up like a man and took his punishment without a single scream of pain, showing true inspiration to his comrades and fear to his enemies. With his last request, he took Kaminagi and Wu Fei, venturing out into the endless desert his parents had died in not too long ago.
After a year and a half of wandering here, Gintsuki was at his mental limit. His sanity was strained here, living each day on the verge of life and death, seeing nothing but endless desert, the monotony broken only by life-or-death combat. As he collapsed in some unnamed part, he saw a light. Some apparation of sorts and it was talking to him. It offered him the power to set things right, the way to make things as they should be and carve a happy existence not for himself but for all the peoples everywhere. He let himself into a Contract with the Spirit King of Magic and from then on Gintsuki vowed that no matter how long it took he would make his dreams and that of his sisters come true. He had been wandering the desert for 3 years now, and people talk of him as a legend. Sometimes he would bring the occassional lost soul from the desert into Suzumebashi and save his life because of it. Eventually, Gintsuki found out Volk's plan with Momo's help. Raiding The Centre in order to get Volk, Gintsuki eventually defeated the Neo Darkside and Volk was executed shortly after. Doing so however changed Gintsuki's appearance and also cut off his contract with the spirit king because he had found his own source of power in Kaminagi.
With Volk dead, Gintsuki had one more thing to due since he had stopped the current heartless threat and averted a Second Cataclysm. The world could defend itself properly again but now he had to find water. Suzumebashi's population grew everyday and the source of water was eventually going to dry out. After experimenting with his own cheaper Zohar gate, Gintsuki offered to search other worlds for a method of transporting large amounts of water and materials between worlds in order to help colonize the desert and possibly help other worlds get their hands on Suzumebashi's technology and strengthen their defences. With Momo on his heels, Gintsuki now wanders around searching for allies and hoping that just maybe in the end he can make everyone around him happy.
