[ *  *  * ]
Name: Settan Sai Horigoshi

Age: 15

Personality: Settan is quiet and reserved, but he is overall a nice person. When in casual situations he is friendly, but not to the point he can be considered eccentric, although he is innocent for some topics. When engaged in combat he is very focused but aware. He can fight expertly, but he is not oblivious to anything that happens around him outside of the fight.

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Looks: (Thank goodness I saved the picture!)
Posted Image In the picture, Settan's shirt is black, his vest is dark gray, his pants are dark gray and black, his gloves are black, and his shoes are black. The Horigoshi crest is on the back of his vest while special markings are on the sides of his pants. The swords in his hands are the Awakened Horigoshi Katana (left) and Awakened Pure Blade (right).

(More Weapons as the Side-Story Progresses)

Powers: Settan has obtained multiple techniques over the time he has trained as a warrior. One of his most notable techniques is that he can use the powers of the six elemental spirits inside him to fight with the elements of fire (Hiro Takena), earth (Varden Caren), wind (Salent Torain), water (Caineth Merart), light (Illumous Artheral), and darkness (Tasten Horigoshi), each one personified by a different spirit. Finally, he can also tap into the power he shares with Sakura Tohomiko with the Arcane Rings, also personified as a spirit reflection of himself. With that he can also make use of Sakura's summoner powers. The following are a list of techniques and other powers that Settan uses and learned over time in his training.
Normal Techniques
1. Focus Slash An invisible energy blade created by Settan focusing spiritual energy around his blade, then slashing it. The manifested energy acts similar to a sheath, and the launched trajectory acts as such.
2. Limit Release: A state Settan can enter with enough focus. Normally his spiritual power has a limit to prevent body damage. Settan can release this limit to give him increased strength, speed, and dexterity for a certain amount of time.
3. Echoing Winds of the Earth: Settan's strongest most often used attack. It has two different forms, depending on the area it is slashed in. If the blades strikes the earth during the attack, a shockwave of wind will burst out like a large wave as wide as the slash. If used in the air, the winds the blade comes in contact with will be amplified, meaking the attack unpredictable unless one can read the wind patterns.
4. Flying Phoenix Crash: A powerful attack Settan uses when Echoing Winds of the Earth is now enough. Using a side sword stance, Settan brings energy around the sword once again, but then uses his strength as an igniter, causing the energy to become visible as a large inferno around his sword. From there he stabs, releasing the energy from the tip of the sword in a straight path, the fire following the path as a phoenix, crashing into whatever target it comes in contact with.
5. Phoenix Guardian: A defensive attack Settan obtains when he obtains the Pure Blade from his deceased master. Settan manifests the energy like Flying Phoenix Crash. Instead of stabbing like he did before, he does a double side slash with his two swords, making his energy follow the circular path. It requires more energy though, since the energy forms into a large protective dome of fire, with the phoenix in the center with spread wings.
6. Mirage Blade: A technique Settan developed on his own, which harnesses all of his spiritual energy needed for a day. Settan is well-known for this attack. Settan charges his blade with his energy once again, but this time the overflow of energy causes the spiritual power to manifest as multiple-colored lights surrounding the blade. That energy can be released in three slashes or in a single blow. The single blow is released as a wide arc, which breaks in mid-flight into small lights that streak forward and bombard whatever Settan focuses on with his mind. Settan has one last version of the Mirage Blade which he used when he first created it, called the Aurora Sky Mirage Blade. It is normally used on skyward opponents with unbeatable power by any other means. Settan starts by launching the enemy into the air, with or without him also being airborne. Then, he manifests all of the stored energy he has, although the maximum he can use is the amount necessary for him to be awake during a full day, so after uses this attack he faints, making it an ultimate trump card. The energy manifests all over his sword, not just the blade. After aiming the energy, Settan fires it as an immense blast of aurora-colored energy. Upon reaching a certain limit, the energy can no longer be kept on a path and arcs out, blanketing the sky in the aurora color. After some time training, Settan developed two more tehniques for the Mirage Blade for dual wielding. One is the Eclipsing Mirage Blade, which covers his blades in an aurora aura color surrounding both blades. Settan can use both of these like the Mirage Blade, so now he has a more versatible arsenal. The final technique he can is it as is called the Aurorascape Mirage Blade, in which he amplifies the power of the Mirage Blade to the maximum, which covers the sword or sword in a aura which is ten times the length of the sword. When he clashes, the attack shoots like like a huge shockwave, covering the landscape in an aurora color. This color is lethal though.
7. Awakened State: A overcharged form of the Limit Release technique. In this state Settan's eyes blank and he sends all of his energy into his body, overcharging all of the muscles in his body. This also enhances his mental abilities, slowing down time for him, allowing him to react almost instantly in real-time. This also gives him enhanced strength.
Magical Techniques
Sacrifical Lightning: The only magical spell that Settan knows, merely learned out of curiosity from Master Dian Carn. It is an attack that is a double-edged sword, because in order to complete the attack it requires all of the magical power that Settan has. Since he has only spiritual power, it takes up his life power instead. The attack has three stages. Settan starts by creating a magical seal to contain the attack in the form of six magical circles. With that, anyone caught within the circle is immobilized except for him, who cannot leave the circle but can more around. After extracting the contract fulfiller, a small magical ball buried within the magical circles, charging it with his energy and casting it into the sky, the attack initiates.
First Stage: A dark cloud descends from the sky over the circle, sending a single lightning strike upon both the user and anyone left in the circle.
Second Stage: The dark cloud sends multiple lightning strikes upon the circles in a massive barrage.
Third State: The dark cloud separates into multiple miniature clouds which surround the circle, barraging it with lightning lances aimed for the circle, all of the energy building up until it releases as a massive column of lightning.
Styles
Styles take form in the specific clothing Settan wears. While he can use the specific techniques he learned outside of the clothing, the full power of each style is maximized with the clothing.
1. Ninja Style: Settan's style that he learned in the Land of Blossoms. The ninja clothing wears allows him maximum speed and agility, as well as enhanced stealth at night. His main weapons are ninja tools and the Shuriken of Four Blossoms in this style.
2. Pirate Style: This style was actually learned during Settan's small time on the pirate the Copper Grave. A very interesting style that gives Settan a better ability to climb and is best for on sea combat. He can climb a lot of difficult terrain due to the long cuffs on the pirate clothing. Settan mainly fights with the Awakened Horigoshi Katana and Pure Blade in the form of a cutlass and pistol.
3. Knight Style: This style actually consists of three specific forms Settan learned while he was in Valorous Continent from the different masters of the three regions of Lore, Renadlov, and Kanuc.
1. Lore Knight: The style Settan learned from Master Kenneth Lore in the Lore region. This style makes use of a sword-and-shield style which consists of a blend of attack and defend. The main weapons Settan uses are the Awakened Horigoshi Katana and Pure Blade in the form of a sword/spear and shield.
2. Rendalov Knight: The style Settan learned from Master Kenneth Lore when he had to infiltrate the Rendalov Region. The style is like that of a berserker, consisting of relentless attacks to wear down and break an enemy's defense. The main weapons Settan uses are the Awakened Horigoshi Katana and Pure Blade in their usual forms.
3. Kanuc Knight: The style Settan learned from Master Flora Tirene in the Kanuc region. This style makes use of a dance-like step pattern to avoid attacks, almost never using guards, consisting of an attack and avoid pattern. The main weapon Settan uses in this form is the Awakened Horigoshi Katana and Pure Blade in buckler (small shield) and thin sword form, along with the Kanuc Morning Blade.
4. Dragon Style: The style Settan learned from Master Lei Wu Shi in the Land of Stone Water. The style is mainly a fistfighting style that uses no weapons, but the concepts of the different fighting attacks can be applied to weapons. The style itselfs consists of three different fighting stances. The one particular weapon Settan can use in this style is a fusion weapon of the Awakened Horigoshi Katana and Pure Blade, a copy of an oversized single-sided sword in Stone Water called the Fang Blade.
1. Dragon Water: The first fighting stance Settan learned in Stone Water. It is a stance that makes use of counters, light, and normal attacks. It is personified by the flowing movements of water, around enemies and strong enough redirect a direction to its own will.
2. Dragon Stone: The second fighting stance Settan learned. This stance makes use of strong attacks to make room between him and his opponent. This is personified by the strong and solid movements of stone, the sheer force of strength and the size of the earth capable of knocking enemies away.
3. Dragon Glass: The last fighting stance Settan learned and the style he needed to learn to pass his training in Stone Water. While retaining the strength of Dragon Stone, the Dragon Glass style is used as a deceptive attack, making what appears to be one attack actually be another, such as a punch actually being a kick.

History:

First Season Storyline: Settan lived in Mespita up to when it fell as a member of the Horigoshi clan, a nomadic populous who eventually ended up settling down in the sky city. Settan lived up to the age of 10 in Mespita, going on kiddie adventure with his best guy friends Zephyrus Anthara and Geoga Fearnus. When they could they also invited their best girl friend Sakura Tohomiko, whom Settan had developed feeling for during his time in Mespita. Settan was always strong in spiritual energy and was able to easily tap into it, which is why he is the best out of his friends with spiritual techniques.

A little before Mespita's fall, Settan's father, Gaido Horigoshi, the leader of the clan, went berserk when he was corrupted by the darkness spirit, causing him to kill everyone of the Horigoshi clan before killing himself. Luckily for Settan, he was out of the area when he recieved word. Because of that, his mind reactively blocked off his memories of the Horigoshi clan, but since his past was never brought up, no one noticed the change. After that, Settan went under the tutelage and guardianship of a good friend, Master Dian Carn, who trained him in some warrior ways. A few months later Settan returned and resided back in Mespita.

A few years before Mespita fell, Settan descended from the city to explore the town nearby. He arrived to the village being under attack. The attack came from an ancient dark beast that had suddenly been resurrected. Settan fought the beast, even when the battle was taken up into the sky due to the beast's flight ability. With normal attacks being useless, Settan ended up creating the Aurora Sky Mirage Blade in that battle. Residents of Mespita would remember the strange day as the "Day of the Aurora Sky." Settan fell from a great height, the resulting crash causing his memories of Mespita to become blocked. With no memories, Settan wandered and ended up reuniting with Master Dian Carn, who took him under his guidance once again, training him to harness the power he released into the Mirage Blade.

A few years later, Master Dian Carn died, but left Settan with enough guidance for him to continue on his own. Settan now travels across Lysar Continent, honing his skills as a warrior. After residing in a forest for a couple of days, Settan noticed the Mespita ruins and rushed over, happening upon a group of the Dark King's soldiers, who attacked him. Settan easily dispatched them with one attack, happening upon Jason, who was actually his brother Terence who was suffereing from a case of amnesia. Settan was suffering from the same illness, but when Sakura used her Memory Recall technique his memories returned. After teaming up with the two they found and rescued a girl, Saffron Robinson, who would soon become Terence's love.

(Re-Editing Season One, so Season 1 History Will Be Edited)
Movie Storyline: After defeating Celeron, the Heroes of Lysar traveled across Lysar Continent to eliminate any traces of Celeron's power. After defeating a corrupted beast, the group settled down. Settan and part of the group happened upon the city of Gepurta, one of the three flying cities. Settan was the first to be taken inside due to his knowledge of the warrior language. Settan was lucky to be mistaken for a Knight of Gepurta, Gallow Forlain, who was away from the city. After hearing about the plans of the king, Settan infiltrated the castle and walked amonst the knights, mainly getting to know Hirand Durandei, Master of the Shield, and Fina Hilea, Goddess of the Lance. After first trying to stop the king's plan, Settan ended up being controlled by a spell to make him think he was Gallow. After his friends were able to get into the castle and start fighting alongside the rebellion group, his friend Artix was able to incapacitate him and remove the spell. Unfortunately, the king was able to begin using the sword Regidokarn, which feeds off of souls. Settan, along with some of his friends tried to take down the king, but due to Sakura using the Final Summoning and removing her memories, Settan's Arcane power wasn't able to fight at full strength. By coincidence Sakura restored his Arcane power, allowing Settan take down the king and destroy the Regidokarn. But the end of the battle was bittersweet for Settan and Sakura's relationship. After Gepurta went back into the sky, Settan informed the group he was going to leave to train on his own and complete his path as a warrior. After he did that he would return to protect them all. With that, Settan departed for his journey.
Side-Story Storyline: Settan's journey started away from Lysar towards the Land of Blossoms, where he trained under Master Rai Torozuna. Unfortunately, a rivaling group of ninjas, the Smoke-Fire ninja, were after the Shuriken of Four Blossoms, the treasured weapon of Master Torozuna's ninja group. After fighting off the group, Settan was entrusted with the Shuriken of Four Blossoms and sent on his way to Valorous Continent, where he started training with Master Kenneth Lore in the Lore Region. After an attack from the Rendalov Region Settan was sent to infiltrate Rendalov Castle and find out what they were planning under the name of Rain Forland. After discovering the horrid truth Settan regrouped with Master Kenneth Lore and attacked Rendalov. Within the battle Settan was knocked unconscious and taken to the Kanuc Region by the pupil of the master, Lina Renais. During his time in the Kanuc Region he trained under the tutelage of Master Flora Tirene, who taught him the Kanuc Knight style. Settan was able to bring the regions to a partial agreement by taking every one of the leaders head on, showing that if Settan was there, no one could be at war with him against all of them. After that, Settan moved on to the Land of Stone Water, where he learned the fistfighting combat of the Dragon Styles. Unfortunately, the Dragon Glass Temple where he was training with Master Lei Wu Shi was under attack by monsters who were trying to take the temple in order to live closer to the aurora sky it projects. Settan, Master Lei, and his apprentice Jake were able to take down the leader of the monsters, a former disciple, Amacorda, and bring a halt to the monsters' attacks. From there Settan traveled to Goligahn, but he was unfortunately detoured when his boat got caught in the wrong current, sending him to Lucilika on Lutisai Continent, where his spirit powers were sealed by the magical rock the continent was surrounded with. Settan had to battle in the shadows in order to help his love and dear friend Sakura fight against the corrupt king while avoiding getting apprehended by the guards. Settan was unfortunately tortured both physically and mentally, causing Tasten, who had obtained an immense dark power, took control of Settan's body and took down the king single-handedly before returning back to Settan. After a heart-wrenching ordeal, Sakura and Settan parted ways on good standards, hoping to see each other again. Settan then moved on to Goligahn Continent, where he was given a quest to search for different objects across the entirety of the continent.

Note: Future Plans: Settan will become cursed soon by a pair of hunter and ancient beast so that they will know where he is by seeing through his eyes. Settan ended up on the run from the beast, but was able to complete his training along the way.
Season 2 Storyline: Settan was hiding from the duo, but was luckily transported by magic to the Land of Blossoms, where he met up with his friends and began to be briefed by Master Torozuna on the situation.
