Jiyūjin Shinkirō

Jiyūjin Shinkirō (蜃気楼自由人, Shinkirō Jiyūjin; lit. "free spirit mirage") is an Independent Mage traveling Earth Land. He was born in the Kingdom of Fiore where he spent the entirety of his early childhood. He first began learning magic at the age of eleven under his mentor, Alistair Pickrell, who taught him the fundamentals. From there, he developed at his own pace. He left his hometown behind in search of thrills and to expand his talents. Reckless and idealistic, Jiyūjin abides solely by the laws of the land and those he makes for himself. A vigilante, he strives to make an impact wherever he can.

Magic and Abilities
As a mage, Jiyūjin primarily specializes in offensive combat. His fighting style focuses on the utilization of high powered attacks as he seldom considers taking a defensive approach. While his magical abilities have yet to fully manifest due to his youth, Jiyūjin shows an aptitude for Sword Magic and is developing in Fire Magic. He is a close-ranged specialist and is not as efficient of a fighter at a distance. As his arsenal contains few defensive oriented spells; he results to evading, countering, or flat out enduring the attacks of his opponents.

Natural Abilities
Enhanced Durability: As he does not wield many defensive techniques, Jiyūjin ultimately relies on attrition to see his way through a battle. When he is unable to dodge or parry an incoming attack, Jiyūjin will put his body to the test by physically blocking and attempting to withstand any moves until he is able to retaliate. While this certainly isn't the best tactic, Jiyūjin has gradually built up a tolerance for pain and his body has toughened from the varying degrees of damage. While fatal wounds will still certainly do him in, Jiyūjin can withstand harm that would normally be devastating for a youth his age. He can take punches and kicks from older men while continuing to fight He is far from invincible but is capable of accepting hard hits just as he may be able to dish them out.

Above Average Speed: With little to no defensive skills to rely on, Jiyūjin must either endure, evade, or parry incoming attacks with one of his offensive spells. He usually results to the prior and the latter when faced with a close-ranged attack. Evading is a viable option only when confronted with a mid or long-ranged attack. While he is impressively fast for an older teenage male, Jiyūjin still isn't among the fastest of humanity. At best he could be a factor on a high school track team. Nevertheless, Jiyūjin is fast enough to where he can dodge most attacks that he can see coming from either a mid or long range. It all really depends on his timing, which isn't always accurate. Also, he has a fair amount of difficulty when attempting to evade high tier spells.

High Stamina: In conjunction with his durability is a relatively high pool of energy. While the average human boy would tire out rather quickly in a strictly physical match-up, Jiyūjin is able to transcend this limitation and perform on a level that would be akin to someone in their early twenties. Since the majority of his fights boil down to attrition, meaning that whoever can hold out longer wins, an above average level of stamina is required for him to keep active. While ordinary activities such as jogging take longer to tire him, he will become burnt out when fighting all out against a formidable foe at a reasonable rate; the stronger opponent being more developed than he is.

Adept Swordsmanship: Although he has yet to attain a mastery over swordsmanship, Jiyūjin utilizes the sword as the basis for his fighting style. He specifically fights using longswords as he can use the length of the blade to separate himself from his opponent. While he is still growing as a swordsman, Jiyūjin has progressed to the point where he can at least hold his own against another proficient sword user. His fighting style is reckless and irregular, best described as freelance as he doesn't like to stick to a particular movement pattern.

Capable Hand to Hand Combatant: When not relying on his swordsmanship to see him through a battle, Jiyūjin can wield his own body as a viable weapon. Fast and durable, Jiyūjin has the makings of a great martial artist. Similar to his style of swordsmanship, Jiyūjin's martial arts throws caution to the wind in favor of devastating the opponent with quick and rapid punches and kicks. He tries to avoid leaving himself open by chaining together his strikes into combinations.

Magical Abilities
Sword Magic: As a swordsman, it only makes since that Jiyūjin would use a style of magic structured around his weapon of choice. Jiyūjin utilizes Sword Magic to enhance the impact of his own blade with various effects. His possession of this style of magic allows him to transcend the boundaries in which he can use a sword. Instead of simply slashing opponents, Jiyūjin can perform interesting feats alongside his usual moves. As he is still growing and learning as a mage, Jiyūjin is not distinguished in the usage of Sword Magic. However, he is fairly talented at it. Thus, it is his primary specialization when it comes to magic in general.

Fire Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to manipulate the element of fire. With it at his disposal, Jiyūjin has reign over fire and is able to conjure flames and control them to an extent. As he uses it secondary to Sword Magic, whenever he even chooses to use magic at all, Jiyūjin relies on Fire Magic to engage enemies from a distance. In fact, Fire Magic is virtually his only means of attacking from afar. As it is his secondary magic, Jiyūjin is not yet as experienced in Fire Magic as he is with Sword Magic. At his current level all he can manage is basic constructs such as fire balls and simple yet wild bursts of flames.
