Hitsuyona Shizukesa

Hitsuyona's skin appears to be white, but a slightly tanner complexion due to repeated sun exposure. His skin is rather rugged around the fingertips, and accompanied by several calices from the use of his katana(s). Another notable feature of his general appearance is his bodily hair, or rather, the lack thereof. This hair is 'white' and minute to the occasional glance, outside of his apparent hairstyle and facial hair.

His eyes appear to be an extraordinary hue of teal, which gives a unique feature to an otherwise bland appearance. In most situations his eyes would give off a general feeling of seriousness, meaning that they aren't wide or squinted, but rather simply blatantly present.

The most distinguishing feature of Hitsuyona's hair would be its turquoise color, followed by its naturally spiked appearance. This hair generally comes to a medium length that falls upon his face, yet seemingly never reaches his notable facial features, such as his eyes or nose.

His nose would appear to be normal at a first glance, but upon further inspection is actually a tab bit large for his face as a whole. Beyond this he dons an extended jaw line that reaches its peak nearing the end of his rounded chin. On the rare occasion that a smile occurs one would notice two small dimples.

Other notable features that don't fall under a specific category include his arm length and structure. They appear to be a bit longer than suites his height, and the structure of his bones are to a sense defect. His shoulders can dislocate both willingly and unwillingly to an extent that wouldn't be considered normal. His foot size is 11 in American. He always has white tape on his wrists and fingertips, most specifically for the purpose of gripping his blades

His general clothing includes black dress pants with a near perfect fit for his body, which have been altered to allow flexibility as to not cause issues while performing in combat. The shoes are nothing worth mentioning, beyond the fact they are tennis, and a matte black color. His shirt is a standard white button up that is almost always partially unbuttoned. Depending on the weather his sleeves may be rolled up, but this may also be done if knowledge of a potential fight is known. If the occasion is important he might decide to wear a suite coat to accompany this outfit, but such times are far and few between.

For more casual situations, or ones requiring him to blend in, he will wear something much more normal in terms of the average public. This includes a variety of wife-beater tank tops, which may or may not be underneath an average white-t. In most of these situations he opts for blue jeans and worn out tennis shoes.

Hitsuyona owns a few particular items that travel by his sides at all times without question. The most important of these items are twin Wakizashi blades. These blades hold sentimental value to the swordsman, as they are his first and only weapons so far in life. There is usually a few nicks apparent on these swords, yet he often avoids this and keeps them maintenanced whenever possible.

In front of enemies or those who he might consider a superior or respectable he maintains the look of a man who seems stoic in nature. His posture is rather serious and uniform, almost as if he were standing at attention in front of a commanding officer, but not to such an extent that he looks vulnerable to taking orders from another. This appearance is almost stiff, and accompanied by a blank facial expression.

Outside of wandering eyes that bring about a sense of duty or discomfort he is far more lax. When taking on this stance he might seem more casual in nature, and can at times lean on one side of his body, or against a structure. This is how he would go about things during his 'leisure' time, and is likely the most often posture he will have.

As one might have gathered by this point he predominantly assumes a solemn outlook, but what about responses and gestures in general? As a general rule of thumb he is 'blank', but he most definitely exhibits signs of emotions like any other. When intrigued or insulted a normal response is the raise of a brow, or a smirk given the intensity of the situation. He is also known to speak with his hands when deeply engaged in a comfortable conversation. Hitsuyona also usually looks into the eyes of those he is speaking to, or observing during a conversation he might not be a part of. His 'soft' spot on the other hand causes him to innately look away from someone when feeling a sense of remorse or impartial feelings in response to what might be mentioned to him. In rare situations he can sometimes disassociate however, in which case he'd stare into space as if he'd not given them the light of day.

His voice is somewhat deep, and when raised, can carry an echo above all others to be heard. When angered though, his pitch can heighten a bit to be mid-range and apparent enough to be noticed.

Determined | "I welcome death should it befall me, can you say the same?"

Spoiler:

Observation | " Your words tell lies, but actions speak truth."-

Spoiler:

Neutral | "I've no reason to argue."- Hitsu is more neutral than anything, though this isn't to say he doesn't care about anything one way or the other. He simply has no argument personally in favor of something that doesn't personally involve himself. He is truly a good 'third opinion' on matters , as his opinion would derive from the actual pros and cons, as opposed to personal attachment to what may be gained for him or those he knows. He can't be 'pressured' into swaying in favor of one particular person ,lest it was his will to do so all along, though how he acts outwardly to the ear may deceive those who try.

Unforgiving | "Fool me once? Shame on you. Fool me twice?

Spoiler:

Distrust | "If you want it done right, do it yourself"-

Spoiler:

Arrogance | "Long after the river runs dry, I shall remain, as I have will it to be"-

Spoiler:

In closing, Hitsuyona is a somewhat awkward individual. He is known to be arrogant in many situations, but this fuels his inner determination to come out on top. His distrust brought about a desire to pay close attention to those around him, and thus made his observation so keen in return.

Depression |

Spoiler:

Disassociation |

Spoiler:

Peace | " It is our memories of tranquility and longing for peace that drives man to such grim desperation, doing whatever is necessary so that things may return to what they once were."-

Spoiler:

Spars l Hitsuyona enjoys a friendly spar between friends, colleagues, or acquaintances.

Betting l

Spoiler:

Making a scene "Give em hell." l

Spoiler:

Silence l This originates from his depression, and in prolonged silence can leave room for lingering thoughts he's rather avoid.

Spiders l He has a very strong dislike for these insects for some unknown reason, they bring about a discomfort and he would go out of his way to smash one in an instant.

Disrespect l This falls under somewhat of a grey area for Hitsuyona, but when dealing with strangers he almost expects a menial level of respect at the least. Examples of disrespect in his eyes might include generally underestimating his capabilities in a fight, or blatant wrongdoings of his superiors. Some generic insults wouldn't phase him, but the deep core values he holds are to be left alone, or else.

Overconsumption of alcohol l While he enjoys the occasional drink, Hitsuyona will refuse to go beyond a 'buzz'. He has found that going beyond this point can often times bring about those depressing thoughts he has tried so hard to bury deep within the confines of his mind.

Marines l This might come off as a given, but he clearly has some form of disliking to the marines in general. This doesn't mean he has some growing hatred for all marines that walk the earth, but he certainly has problems with anyone who would oppose him and all that he stands for and represents.
