Race: Human

Heritage: Chinese, Irish. (more Chinese than Irish)
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 167
Age: 49, appears 16
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Orientation: Straight
Religion: Agnostic (He believes in spirits and some sort of higher being, but refuses to follow any sort of religion.)
Favorite Stuff:
Favorite Phrase: "I reject your reality and substitute my own."
Favorite Food: SUSHI!!
Favorite Music: House/Techno
Favorite Color: Blue/Lavender/Black
Appearance:
: Normal appearance
: Appearance in a created dimension.
: Appearance of the guardian spirit (usually semi transparent)
Note: Because of his transportation to so many different dimensions, his bodies molecular chemistry was screwed up, preventing his body from aging past six-teen. As such, he will never die of old age.
Personality:
Sho is a pretty nice guy. He's usually in a good mood, which is fairly odd in the Academy. Life's been fairly good to Sho, and it's reflected in his expression. That expression is almost always a smile. Even in combat he usually has a pleasant look about his face, but if it's a battle for others, his expression hardens into a fierce scowl.
Style:
Spiritualism: A style that is similar to Shamanism but adds in Ritualism and Spirit elementalism. It can be used to summon spirits, use the opponents soul against them, even, one of the most forbidden techniques: remove someones soul and seal it.
Dimensionalism: This style summons forth alternate planes of existence which Sho manipulates and can phase shift into different locations within the dimensions. Like his Spiritualism, Sho can seal someone within another dimension. Again, it is a forbidden technique, but can be done. This is actually alot easier than removing the soul...and also survivable for the opponent.
Strengths:
His Mana and Wisdom are his strongest points. Those two statistics are needed in Dimensionalism as he doesn't need to move physically in order to dodge an attack within a created dimension.
Weaknesses:
While decent when it comes to his strength, Sho's physical attributes are lacking compared to others of his rank. His intelligence is also not the best, comparatively.
Spells:
(examples)
Summon Null Plane: This is one of Sho's most basic spells. It summons forth a black, seemingly endless plane, through which Sho can sink and re-appear. Normally, such a spell would be extremely costly, but Sho has mastered it to a degree where it hardly takes any mana at all to both call the plane and teleport within it.
Transport: Sho can transport himself and up to one hundred other people to an innumerable amount of other dimensions. It takes a bit of mana, but can still be used quite a few times.
Spirit whip: Just like the name suggests, Sho uses spirit elemental from his spiritualism to create a lavender colored whip which is about as strong as tempered steel.
Spirit shot: A medium powered blast of spirit energy that doesn't do physical damage to the opponent, but damages their soul, causing intense pain.
Spirit blast: A high powered blast of spirit energy that causes an insane amount of damage to the targets soul, and can even partially rip the soul from the body.
Soul removal: By pouring power into the blade of a thousand souls, Sho, if he stabs someone with it, can tear their soul completely out of their body, leaving a living husk. (This is a forbidden technique.)
Soul seal: The great spirit within the blade of a thousand souls emerges and stabs a free soul with its own, much bigger, version of the soul of a thousand blades, which is black. When it does so, the free soul is sucked into Sho's red blade, and sealed for eternity. When the soul is sealed, the body of the sealed soul dies immediately. (This is a highly forbidden technique and is only used when an immensely powerful evil needs to be destroyed.)
Summon Spirits: Sho simply stabs the blade of a thousand souls into the ground, and various warriors from times past are called forth to do this teachers bidding.
Stats of the spirits:
Str: 20
Dex: 25
End: 25
Wis: 15
Int: 15
Eng: 20
Spirit injection: After summoning a soul, Sho can plant the soul into a corpse, or even a doll, and the soul takes the body over, using it to fight on a more physical plane. While inside a medium body, the spirit is invaulnerable until the medium is destroyed.
Summon the Spirit of the Blade: Sho holds the blade of a thousand souls out in front of him, blade down, and begins to chant. Mana then begins pulsating throughout the area, as the guardian soul of the red short sword begins to emerge. This process takes longer than any of Sho's other abilities, and the result can be devastating.
Stats of the Guardian Spirit:
Str: 50
Dex: 35
End: 30
Wis: 35
Int: 30
Eng: 50
Gear/Weapons:
Katana: Just a combat ready blade that doesn't really have much of any thing special about it other than it is made of an extremely durable titanium alloy.
Blade of a thousand souls: A dark red short sword that is made of ordinary steel. Its only special quality is the fact that over one thousand 'evil' souls are trapped inside, as well as one extremely powerful 'good' soul. That 'good' soul is the guardian and jailer of the other souls within the blade, though can be summoned into combat if the need is dire. (This blade is what he would seal someones soul into if he ever felt the need.)
Items:
Necklace of the death god: The necklace that Sho wears belonged to a powerful spirit who acts as a grim reaper to evil souls. (+10 to Eng and Dex.)
Bracer of the gate guardian: An orange and brown vambrace that belonged to the guardian of the gate into the spiritual dimensions. (+10 to End and Str.)
Sage's headphones: These are an extremely odd pair of headphones that allow Sho to focus in and summon up spirits and create dimensions. (+10 to Int and Wis.)
Stats:
Str: 30 + 10= 40
Dex: 25 + 10= 35
End: 20 + 10= 30
Wis: 65 + 10= 75
Int: 40 + 10= 50
Eng: 65 + 10= 75
History:
Sho was born in the western U.S. He was bounced back and forth between his home nation, and his two ancestral nations: China and Ireland. As such, he grew up with a vast plethora of cultures. His parents were both mages, so he grew up with magic, though no one ever expected his powers to develop into his Dimensionalism. Both of his parents were spiritualists, though not in the way that Sho is. His father was a Shamanist monk from China, and his mother was a Ritualist. Those two together formed Sho's Spiritualist style.
He had a normal life...as normal as one could get for being a magic user any way. Only problem was, when he was sixteen, he experienced a massive surge of power. He had been looking for a spirit medium to summon souls more effectively, when he stumbled upon the blade of a thousand souls. In that burst of power, caused by the guardian of the blade, his body was flung through hundreds of thousands of alternate realties and unfathomable dimensions. The result of that was an insanely vast amount of dimensions to choose from when he calls forth, as well as creates alternate planes of existence, but his body was permanently stuck at sixteen. Lucky for him he hadn't had acne at the time huh?
His experience at the Academy has been pleasant and he's ascended to master class. Now a teacher of both of his styles of magic, he enjoys a rather easy going life.
