Character Image/Character Costume Image (Or Description):
The sword has a slender, razor-edged, gleaming red blade and an ebony black hilt, its length inscribed with designs of unknown occult origin, accentuated by a black blood trough running along its center into the hilt of the sword. A small hollow in the hilt collects the blood, but when opened, no blood is ever found within.

Personality: Amakur seems bloodthirsty at some times, and then caring at others. During battle, the personality seems to shift from good to evil, then from evil to good once the opponent has been slain. This is truly a case of the sword choosing its wielder, but slightly more complicated given the dual nature of the blade’s personality.

History: Amakur isn’t exactly sure how he came to be. He has ‘lived’ for longer than he can remember, which is saying a lot, as his memory is magically enhanced to remember more than normal. As a sentient sword, he knows that he used to be human. That is not to say that he remembers his humanity at all, just that he knows he used to be.

He was placed in this sword form. This was done… for reasons that Amakur cannot remember clearly. He was placed here out of self sacrifice… or as punishment for crimes committed. He has been so long in the blade that he cannot recall why he was put in this form. He does not know if there is a way to reverse the spell, either.

What Amakur does know, and does remember, is battle. As an enchanted sword of immense strength and ability, he has been sought over the years for his usefulness. But Amakur does not serve just anyone. Usually, he serves no one person for very long. But in a few cases, some exceptionally strong individuals have wielded him, and he grew while in their possession.

Perhaps Amakur will uncover the truth of his existence eventually. For now, he knows only one thing from the ages gone by – his goal and urge and drive is to do battle and grow stronger.


Power(s):
Sentient Blade: Amakur is a sentient being, with powers and abilities that are numerous. For this ability, the power to communicate telepathically with anyone who would normally be within earshot of a normal person’s speaking voice and the actual sentience of the sword are included.

True Sensing: Amakur does not sense his environment with any of the normal five senses. Rather, he simply senses the environment as it is. He can “hear” things said and “see” everything at once, without the information being lost. He can, for all intents and purposes, see and process all events occurring nearby simultaneously through unknown mystical means.

Sinister Edge (Strength): Amakur is possessed of extreme strength, and his blade never gets dull. He can cut most things like a hot knife through butter.

Durability: Amakur is a sword. He doesn’t break easily. This particular sword seems to have enchantments that prevent wear and tear entirely, however, making it functionally immortal until something finally breaks it apart.

Fighting Skills: Amakur doesn’t know how he came about this amazing prowess in battle. He does know that for as long as he can recall, he has been trapped in the form of this sword, and that the art of fighting in sword form has become integral to his nature. He exists as a weapon, and thus his skill at fighting has grown as a simple part of life – Amakur lives to do battle.

Well well well, Mr. Floating Sword. We meet again. I thought I killed you back in Sargasso. Very well, you may have this approval, on the condition that you never go to Cuba. Ever. As in: I will murder your family of daggers if you do. Deal? Good.
