History:Awai was born before the time of Konoha and thus felt a lot more of the freedom and danger that the world had to offer then. He was a wild child, seeking thrills and danger where he could. His choice to take the rites toward the Tōchōgan were purely an attempt to gain some insight into the future as those of his bloodline had before him. He failed to see it was not foresight but possible futures according to his knowledge that he saw. This error led him to become one of the guardians of the Wind Daimyo then; he frequently brought dishonour by abandoning his post in favour for 'actively dealing with threats'. It wasn't until he accidently mistook a vision for a lethal threat against the Diamyo; instead of an assassin attacking from behind, it was a servant assisting the Daimyo in wiping his brow. He was ordered to ritual sucide but rejected the idea and returned home to the Anja Clan under attack.
The subjugation of the Anja had begun and he was caught in the middle of it. He became known as the Grey Lion during his battles to keep Anja free. However, he was defeated and captured. In his jail cell, he had another vision; his clan spread across the world like the four winds; he saw their light die in the cruelty of the world when they were seperate. With great effort, he escaped from his cell with renewed purpose and saught out his clan. He realized that his visions were to be savoured and broken down, not casually acted on. So through battles, both physical and mental, he brought each noble of the clan into agreement with him by sharing his vision. The day of the Greying Lion is marked in Anjan culture; as the day that Awaishi led them from doom into Sunagakure. For his service, he was made the head of his clan by his people and his crimes to the Daimyo were forgiven.
Overall Personality:Awai seems curt and blunt upon first impressions but he will stop to consider other people's words, even that of children. He hurries his own words to hear that of others. He would be perhaps one of the more peaceful and even-handed of the Sunagakure clan heads; being one of those who seek to end the rising tensions with Konohagakure. He evocates peaceful options when they are available. However, If his mercy is betrayed or if he sees no other option, he is ruthless with executing his plans. Swift and concise after deliberating with himself on the right course. His flaws include being paralysed with indecision with important matters that invovle lives. He does not hide is affection for his people and the affection for the new generation even if they don't share it. He also does not hide his disdain for the 2nd Kazekage but has done more than enough to prove he is loyal to Sunagakure. In personal and familiar surroundings, Awai is quiet and reserved; speaking very softly and more slowly than his buisness way. He is not above jokes but his humour is normally refered to as 'grandad humour' then again he is pretty much the closest thing that many in the Anja clan have to a grandfather.
Level: 40
HP:CP:Elemental Affinity: Yang and Wind
Abilities: Awaishi is the epitome of the third eye warrior branch of Anjan combat. However, he prefers Kenjutsu over hand-to-hand. He prefers blades of all others and carries many of them on to the battlefield. He alternates between two-handed weapons, two blades or one blade depending on the opponent. He uses Yang release to extend the range and cutting angles of his blades; manifesting as translucent golden weaponry fit for divine beings. He uses Wind release for extreme range, area and also for some defence against ranged opponents. There are a number of techniques he is feared for:
- Example Jutsu:
Yōton: Igna-Kasaneru “Yang Release: Repeat Karma” - Yang Chakra slovenly follows his blade in slow distracting motions. Not only does this disguise Awai's true position, when he hits an opponent, multiple divine weapons manifest to cut into the extact spot that he strikes, punishing the openings his opponent leaves for him.
Yōton: Shōmei-bhairava “Bring down Bhairava” - Manifests the image of fierce shiva, creating chakra arms that take all his weapons. Allowing him to wield 8 weapons, plus the two that he carries. This S-rank techniques allows him to fight on Kage-level.
Yōton: Shōmei-Narukami “Bring down Narukami” - A 'trump card' variety of his other Shōmei jutsu. He invests wind chakra into the image of fierce shiva, corrupting it into the Oni of storms, Raijin. It has been said he could level mountains with the cuts all 10 blades could make.
Equipment: Many blades, large and small. Taken from various enemies that tried to kill his people. All of them are important to him but few are beyond typical swords.
