Name:Sara Age:15 Character you are applying for:Sesshomaru Why do you want to be this character?: I'm used to roleplaying people with cold personalities but once you get to know them they can be kind. Sesshomaru is also my favorite character from Inuyasha. And I like his hair... Characters' History: Lineage Sesshomaru is one of the sons of the powerful Inu no Taishô. Since the Inu no Taishô is considered to be a daiyôkai (great/lord of yokai), Sesshomaru is, technically speaking, a daiyôkai himself. He is mostly a calm and collected person who hardly shows any emotions and rarely laughs. He rarely smiles, and when he does, it's usually not a good thing; as once Jaken begged Sesshomaru to beat him rather than to smile because it was Sesshomaru’s smile that he feared most. Sesshomaru believes that struggle is the only way for survival and mostly throughout the series shows his contempt for Inuyasha, his half brother.
Characters personality: Although Sesshomaru maintains a cool, uncaring exterior, throughout the story his compassion seems to be growing. When Inuyasha went insane after turning into a yôkai, Sesshomaru came to see for himself the power that Inuyasha could produce, and managed to defeat him. He then instructed Kagome to return the Tessaiga to Inuyasha in order to restore him to his former self. It is possible that he lost interest in obtaining the Tessaiga mainly due to Inuyasha's need for the sword to control his yôkai blood. He then left claiming that he intends to kill Inuyasha one day, when Inuyasha could adequately fight back. However it is possible that by claiming the right to kill Inuyasha for himself, Sesshomaru is actually doing a backhanded favor for his younger brother. By making this public declaration, Sesshomaru is claiming first right to Inuyasha's death by Sesshomaru's own hand, and at his choice of time and place. Thus Sesshomaru can then choose to battle any shared adversary with no loss of face and without admitting any familial attachment or emotions. This is a curious but historically documented manner of saving face and denying emotional attachment.
Sesshomaru not only tolerates a human Rin, but also acts almost like a father to her and rushes to her aid when she gets in trouble. Naraku once had Kagura kidnap Rin as a get-away plan in his attempt to absorb the body and the yôkai power of Sesshomaru. Naraku's plan failed and he tried to escape - Sesshomaru was incensed and began to pursue Naraku. But upon hearing that Rin was in danger, Sesshomaru let him go and came to the aid of the girl.
Even though he is very abusive towards his servant Jaken, he only makes him accompany him when he is facing a weak foe. He has repeatedly warned Jaken to move out of the way prior to an attack. Further, when Naraku first emerged in his yôkai form, Sesshomaru told Jaken to stay behind him as he attacked the yôkai.
On his way to Mount Hakurei, Sesshomaru saved Kagome, Miroku, and Sango from the poison user Mukotsu, one of the Shichinintai, but once again claimed that he only killed someone who was in his way.
(I did not write that. One of my friends did for his website and he said I could use it.)
Sample (at leats 10-15 lines): 1st person POV
"Sesshomaru-sama." I turned around to look at Rin. "Can I pick some flowers?" She asked. I nodded and she ran to the field of flowers that was on the side of the path. I sat down under a sakura tree that was nearby. 'Rin.' I thought to myself. 'I do not understand. Why do I not hate you like all other humans? Why do I feel like I must protect you? Your like a daughter to me... But you are still human. Why do I ask myself so many useless questions?' "Rin." I called getting up. "Come. We are leaving." She ran over holding a handfull of flowers. As we started down the path again I caught a smell of a demon comming towards us. I stopped and took out my sword. The demon was a neko. I beat it easily but I smelled more demons comming. "Rin. Go over there." I pointed to a tree that had a couple bushes around the bottem of it. There were five demons all together. They would have been easy to defeat but the moved quickly. I heard a scream and realized one of the must have found Rin. I quickly finished off the one I was fighting and turned toward the tree where Rin was hiding. I used my whip to kill the demon attaching Rin and quickly went over to see if she was okay. When I got to her she was unconsious and had a cut on her head. I bandaged the cut and layed her down on the ground then I sat to wait for her to wake. For the first time that I could remember I was worried for someone.
(I know it sucks but it's late right now and I'm tired. I can write another one if this is bad. Sorry.)
