[SESSHOMARU]

SESSHOMARU

Age: 500+

Gender: Male

Orientation: Bisexual (Leaving it as such for future possibilities either way.)

Race: Dog Demon

Occupation: Wanderer

Looks Aren't Everything

Birthmark(s): Two magenta stripes on each side of his face and a blue crescent moon on his forehead.

Scar(s): None

Appearance:
Sesshomaru's framing is slender and elegant, definitely from a royal heritage. From the top of his head down to his very toes he seems almost feminine, yet the muscles hidden just beneath his loose clothing convey that he is very much a man, and much more powerful than he first appears to be. Regal blood flows through his veins and he's very proud of that, which shows in his slow, confident gait and the calm patience in which he shows to both his companions and his enemies. Behind his cold, menacing eyes one would not imagine that there could be something as out of place as a kind heart buries beneath.

Unlike his brother's other, full demon, form, Sesshomaru's other form is that of a large dog that looks strangely like a mixture between a cocker spaniel and a saluki. His fur is a proud silver, and his eyes a burning red with little to no pupils and bulging veins. He's truly a majestic sight to behold in this form, but even he pales in comparison to his father's mighty form, which towers well over ten times bigger than his own. Not to say that Sesshomaru won't one day become just as large and powerful as his father before him.

What's Beneath the Skin

Personality:
To most who see him, Sesshomaru can be summed up in just a few words. The words that come to mind for most are menacing, cold, heartless, and the like, and true to these words Sesshomaru fits them most of the time. He's calculating to a fault and makes sure that there is little room for error during his ambitions. Once there is something he wants he doesn't hold back until it is within his grasp, but when that day comes he's almost like a dog chasing cars. He doesn't know what to do with it once he has it.

Underneath his powerful exterior, and menacing appearance, Sesshomaru actually has a little kindness dwelling within his heart. Rin and Jaken are physical manifestations of these rare moments in which he chooses to let his heart rule rather than his mind. Not that he would ever admit to it, of course.

Sesshomaru has always been the kind of person to want to best his father, but like all sons want to do at some point in their lives, he feels the need to be respected by him as well. Since his father is no longer of this world he must only imagine what would make his father proud of him, and seek to follow the practices, and guidance of what would make that so.

History:
Sesshomaru was born of two great dog demon parents and was known to have lived a very sophisticated life in his youth. Manners were stressed and he was told of the great role he was supposed to fulfill when he became grown. Hearing such expectations of him while he was growing up had an effect on Sesshomaru where he became driven only to become more powerful, forsaking his emotions and other things he was not taught properly by his mother or his father. Love was more than likely something that was never expressed to him as a baby, a child, or a teen, so he was left learning it for himself, which has taken him until now to realize.

He was in his late teen years when he saw his father die at the hands of another, and he will always blame what he believes to have been the source of it--InuYasha and his human mother, of which his father was trying to protect when he was murdered. This had always left a bitter taste in his mouth, for his father's death left him with no one to challenge when he came of age. No one except for the one who was the cause of his father's death: InuYasha. He's always challenged him from the time his half-brother was released from his imprisonment from the tree that Kikyou sealed him to those many years ago. He's determined not to let his father's death be for nothing.

After his father passed on Sesshomaru was at a loss of what he could do in his life. His youth had grown him to be very powerful, and he would continue to be. He became ambitious to gain even more power and the approval of his long dead father. This was how he came to be obsessed with getting the Tetsusaiga, the sword that was meant for InuYasha and not him.

It infuriated him that he wasn't the one left with such a powerful sword, not could he wield it when he got ahold of it. It wasn't long before it was revealed that he was left a sword. Not a powerful fighting sword, but a kind, life-giving one. This sword proved useful eventually when he saved both Jaken and Rin's lives--at separate times--but he would still rather something more powerful than that. It was recieved years later with the Tokijin and then the Bakusaiga. These contented him, but from there he didn't know where to go.

How You Play

RP Sample:
The moon was bright above, its rays flickering down onto Sesshomaru's tired form. The powerful demon was resting beneath the branches of a great oak, it's leaves dancing on the wind and making a sound that calmed his form. Rin was at his side, her head on his thigh, his hand on her shoulder. The girl came to him for comfort many times and though reluctant, he knew that he owed her this kindness from the way she had treated him the day she'd found him, wounded and in need of the care she had been so willing to give him despite the horrors she had been put through her entire life.

Sighing, Sesshomaru turned his golden eyes on the moon above, wondering what this world had in store for him now that two such powerful demons were trying to take hold of everyone here. Naraku was long since paling in comparison to them, and occasionally Sesshomaru wondered what had become of him. Not that he had any semblance of pity for such a lowly creature such as Naraku or his spawn.

As Rin stirred beside him, Sesshomaru knew he was thinking too much. Now was a time for sleep. Thinking could come later.

[REDEMPTION]

Alrighty, you did well with the profile, but I have a few things I'd like you to add or explore. I won't be extremely picky, because this is a canon, but I would like for you to talk, in your history, about how you believe Sesshomaru feels about the recent war and the slavery of humans. Does he feel it is justified? Does he support the demon lords' actions or does he despise them? (Personally, I think he'd probably just not care for them, but that's just me. It's up to you.) Also, you don't have to, but I would appreciate maybe a sentence or two to explain strengths and weaknesses. Nothing major or extensive.

The last thing is this: I'd like for you to add more about his abilities and flaws. He has the whip, quick healing, and other things. You can look at information web sites to find out specific names, if you would like to do so. (I often find them useful.) As for the flaws, you may make one or two up, or, if none are ever listed on information sites, you may put unknown (though it may be good to just put that because of his demon youth, compared to his father, his abilities have not yet advanced to their full potential). His claws could count as another weapon.

I do like the profile so far. Just respond when you're finished. (Also, just a thought, maybe you could mention that he has golden eyes in human form, in the appearance section.)
