Keotsu's Samurai armor is mostly comprised of banded plates, bound together with silken cord. Though not particularly ornate, it is highly functional.
Despite the obvious military applications of his garb, he seems to emit an aura of kindness.
Personality: A kind and compassionate soul tempered by the harshness of reality, Keotsu is regarded as direct and empathetic, with a strong desire to assist those in need, though a dose of pragmatism has tempered that desire with logic, with age. Though educated and increasingly observant, his usually trusting nature can see him taken advantage of and placed in unfavorable situations, and while he does not actively seek to do so, appears to be charismatic and a capable leader.

Samurai Rank: Jonin
Specialty:
Personal Summoning Specialist: The first of Eden's Chosen, Keotsu was the first to recieve access to the Columbidae Contract, even as a Samurai. The Columbidae Contract's Guardian, Agrias Oaks, accompanies Keotsu at basically all times.
(Hato-ka Kuchiyose:Aguriasu Ōkusu) Columbidae Summon: Agrias Oaks
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Type: Summon
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: Agrias is the guardian of the Columbidae Contarct. In her dove form, she appears as a regular size dove with yellow plumage. Her only ability in this form is that she can be summoned through use of a piece of special reed grass that grows only in Eden, the realm where the Columbidae reside – using this grass allows her to be summoned at a regular chakra cost, but bypasses summoning ninjutsu, by using chakra to activate the glyphs found inscribed upon the wheat when a tune is blown on it; in essence, Agrias is summoning herself to the Summoner, but using their chakra for the job. As a Human, Agrias is a stunning young woman of 20 years old with long, golden hair that comes down to her hips and amber eyes; she keeps her hair tied back in one large braid, though. She wears a navy trench cloak and a pair of leather breaches, boots, and gauntlets, as well as wearing a steel breastplate, and her personal sword, Save the Queen; she also speaks with a slightly Old-English dialect. In human form, she is capable of using any Kenjutsu and Taijutsu that the summoner can use. As a human, she also gains access to a personal Kenjutsu technique known as “Divine Ruination”, an S-rank technique that fires a helix-shaped shockwave at the enemy (described below).
*Save the Queen can only wielded by Agrias and Columbidae Contract signers; the sword itself is indestructible, but has no special powers.
*Though Agrias has her own Health and Chakra pools, her moves still count towards the summoner’s 3 moves per turn.
*Divine Ruination is a double helix (DNA) shaped, blue shockwave that causes a cross-shaped explosion to occur on impact. When used by Agrias, it is treated as a justu with S-rank power and chakra cost. It reaches up to Mid-range before disappearing and can only be used 3 times.
*Transforming to/from Avian/Human form costs 30 chakra to Agrias and counts as a move and she is always summoned in Avian form.
*Can only be summoned once and lasts for 4 turns.
*Agrias in Human form:

Background Info
History: Pen left page and with a resounding thud a heavy tome closed for the final time. The author took a moment to reflect upon his work, placing the leather-bound book onto a shelf, filled with many others. Yet another story came to an end, but these characters played on myriad stages, and many more tales were yet to be revealed.
Pen met page, fresh and hungering for ink, as a new tome was opened before the author. In another time and place, this swordsman had another tale to be told, it seemed…
Keotsu was born in 786 to middle class parents on the Iron Peninsula, within the greatest city known to the Samurai, Hachiman’s Bulwark. His mother was a scholar and his father an apothecary, and as such enjoyed a mostly untroubled childhood. He received a fine education and, as is customary for many families, attended an academy that also prepared its students for potential service in a military setting, something Keotsu seemed to have an almost innate talent for. Amongst his peers he was nearly unrivaled when it came to skill with a blade, and he was able to quickly absorb many of the other teachings presented to them: chakra theory, mathematics, physical sciences, and the like.
Due to the nature of his parent’s careers, Keotsu was largely unaffected by the political squabbles, as they were far beyond the scope of their day to day lives. Despite his potential military prowess, but the time he was 17, in the year 803, he had decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and was studying to become an apothecary. However, a great sickness swept through Hachiman’s Bulwark, an illness that would ultimately claim the life of Keotsu’s mother, despite the efforts of her son and husband. Several people died from what would later be discovered to be a dangerous pathogen inadvertently released into the primary water source for the city. Keotsu’s father, as did many other healers, helped save a great many lives through their medicines, but not all could be saved. Keotsu would lose his father to the rage of a grief-stricken widower, who was convinced that Keotsu’s father had sold him bad medicine. In a conflict, he slew Keotsu’s father with a blade – Keotsu, in a rage, slew the man in kind. Despite the grisliness of the incident, there was a large degree of understanding in the community, and there was no ostracizing of Keotsu.
Despite this, Keotsu found himself suddenly without the support of his family, and grief stricken. He needed a way to support himself, and lacked the funds to try and become an apprentice under another apothecary, much less procure and maintain his own shop.
Tightly budgeting what inheritance he had from his parents, Keotsu began acting as a sell-sword, knowing the need for capable fighters was high even in the far north, and his level of skill saw no shortage of covet.
Over the next few years Keotsu would build a reputation as a reliable mercenary for higher, though he was mostly employed alongside local governments just for assistance.
Now, in the current year, Keotsu is 27 years of age and has a reputation as a renowned swordsman, and after collecting a sizeable savings, has contemplated taking on the life of a traveling adventurer. However, he usually sticks to the capital city of the Samurai, and frequently works alongside him, his disposition and skill being too agreeable to be discarded.
Other
Mythos, the Blade of Heaven: A legendary blade that seems impervious to effects beyond the will of its wielder, Keotsu carries this weapon with him at essentially all times.
Infinite One-Sword Style: Having pioneered a unique style of Kenjutsu, Keotsu tends to carry uniquely bound cases of katana in order to use this style; some are simply bound bundles of swords, while others are mechanized cases needed to utilize the “Vector” technique.
Heavy Artillery Exploding Tags: A hallmark of Keotsu, he makes liberal use of a special variant of exploding tag commonly employed by Shinobi for situations were close-quarters combat is not always viable. He uses these alongside throwing knives, a trick he has learned through experience.

Description: A heavy-duty version of the standard issue paper bomb, this exploding tag has substantially more power than a regular exploding tag, and is generally used in heavy demolition. Other than being .5 inches longer than a regular exploding tag and with the kanji for “erupt” instead of “explode” in the middle, they cannot be discerned from their weaker counterparts at a glance. These exploding tags can be used in place of weaker ones in jutsu involving them.
*In order to use these, it must be mentioned in the user’s bio that they carry this version of the exploding tag – otherwise, the user cannot use these.

Samurai Armament: Keotsu owns a set of armor in similar style to his regular garb that is outfitted with traditional Samurai modifications, including a helmet that has a built into gas-mask to help filter poison, though it sees little use in this day and age. Like his usual attire, the boots are augmented in such a way to make the use of ZX Buster possible.
Leg Weights: As a method of constant training, Keotsu has a weighted attachment applied to his grieves, that can be easily removed in the need arises.
