*plops finished SU here*

Name: Shiro Minamoto, Lugal of Jansen

Gender: Somehow, the floating sword and shield is male

Age: 22

Species: Aegislash

Description: The Lugal of Jansen towers over the others of his kind. He “stands” at a height of 2 meters, and seems even bigger given that he’s usually floating around. His pommel and shield are marked with sea colored, runic tattoos, declaring him Jansen’s diaspora Lugal. As he draws on his spiritual power, the tattoos glow more and more, becoming impossible to miss as he fights longer. His blade is very well polished, and his shield is just as immaculate.

As of right now, Shiro spends most of his time under a large cloak that hides most of his body from view. However, underneath, Shiro does not wear much. His main accessory is a clear, glass-like stone on a choker around his handle; it is the Dusk Stone he evolved with, the one sentimental item he allows himself. He has a Spell Tag tied to the end of his hilt so that he can hit harder with his spiritual energy. The only other thing he carries a special pack with him filled with medicine and cash, stealthily using the shadows generated by his cloak to carry it (to outside observers, it looks like he’s carrying it on his back normally).

Personality: Shiro’s personality is defined by the fact that he is Lugal. His absolute focus on his people: he frequently will state “a ruler is no true ruler without his people to guide.” And he is no hypocrite: he lives by this maxim, every second of every day. He is always willing to help, especially when he is helping one of his people. However, it is not exclusively limited to them alone: wherever he may find the oppressed, the downtrodden, the hurt, he will act as champion and leader.

But do not mistake kindness for weakness or stupidity. Indeed, while he is always willing to be kind and to help, he is not in any way a pushover or naive. He has a gift for fighting that is only enhanced by his future sight, and he is very willing to resort to bloodshed should it prove necessary. And where violence fails, he has some ability in diplomacy and guile: he’d much prefer to be up front, but he is aware that leaders must frequently keep secrets and doing so is no sin so long as it helps his people. He has power in spades, both in war time and in peace.

However, Shiro’s power did not come from nothing: he has something of a dark side that thirsts for power. While he is aware of his fault and will usually keep it in check, he has to constantly remind himself that something that looks like it might benefit his position now will almost always carry some sort of price. His main motive for seeking power is to have the leverage to help restore his people: however, this drive is easy to corrupt and can lose its selfless focus if Shiro does not take care to keep himself in check. Only time will tell whether Shiro will take the dexter path or the sinister one.

History: Shiro was born to the governing family of Jansen, the only child of the previous lugal and her Cofagrigus knight and consort. As heir to the throne of the lugal, Shiro was drilled from a young age in the sciences, the arts of violence and diplomacy, and the ethics of how to rule. He liked the idea of his role from a young age, showing both a thirst for knowledge and a desire both to help his people and for power from an early age. He evolved for the first time by the age of 11 years old, and as was tradition in the royal court, evolved again on a journey through the Synata Desert, acquiring his Dusk Stone and evolving a scant three years later.

Throughout his life, Shiro found that his dreams would frequently come true: this would especially apply when such visions involved either him or his parents in some kind of mortal danger. He had thought it some sort of oddity and kept it hidden, until he had an intuition about one enemy to the throne too many. His father realized that Shiro was an Indigo Seer, and informed the Aegislash of his talent. It took two years after his final evolution for Shiro to seek visions on command and respond to them in combat time, but by the age of 16, Shiro came fully into his own as a Seer.

As Shiro grew, he constantly observed how his mother governed. He watched carefully how Lugal Michiko conducted her business, how she was kind but did not allow injustice to touch her realm. He saw how her subjects respected her will and her intelligence, and followed her commands without complaint. He saw her kindness and mercy, but also observed as she enacted justice, supplanting brutal vengeance with firm punishment. He admired her strength tempered with her kindness and sought to emulate her.

Time passed as Shiro sought to keep both his skills and his wits sharp in preparation for inheriting the throne. He acquainted himself with his subjects, acquired both his mother’s gentle touch and her firm hand, and learned to apply them judiciously. When he turned 18, Lugal Michiko stepped down from the throne, and Shiro became lugal of the city state of Jansen. He was loved by almost all of his subjects: the city state ran smoothly and prospered thanks to the mineral rich Synata Desert giving them plenty to trade.

Of course, then came the one dangerous event Shrio entirely failed to predict: the Infernal Schism.

At first, Jansen was one of the cities less affected by the Schism: Abyssal creatures were quickly rooted out and destroyed, as Jansen had both competent disaster relief and a competent military. However, Jansen stands on ground with high concentrations of spiritual energy, and so the Abyss wanted control of it. Several external attacks were launched, but all were repelled.

All except one.

Undax the Gengar personally came to Jansen and delivered an ultimatum to Shiro: surrender, or die. Shiro, naturally, chose option three, and recommended that Undax do something anatomically impossible. The Aegislash felt confident that, between his strong military and his hidden Seer powers, Jansen would be able to triumph against the Abyss.

He did not count on Undax having access to Shiro’s Fallen.

The formerly highly prosperous Jansen is now burning rubble, most of its citizens massacred. Shiro barely got away with his life, and only managed to spare a scant few of his subjects from the ensuing obliteration. The city-state is now entirely in a state of diaspora, and Shiro is howling for Undax’s blood for more reasons than mere saving the world. The lugal is on his own, far away from his home, and desperately using his sight in an attempt to find allies, save the oppressed, and as much as possible, stay moving long enough that the Abyss cannot find him and finish the job before he can revive Jansen and slake his blade’s thirst for Undax’s blood.

Weapons: His face, his shield, his lower body. He is perfectly capable of using guns, but honestly, why would he when his entire physical form is an amalgamation of deadly weaponry?

Objectives:

_Revive Jansen
