Hiruzen Kettner is an agent of the Dark Guild Hollow Paradigm, being one of its most powerful members due in part to his exceptional combat prowess and usage of a powerful Lost Magic. Having stayed on after current guild master Victoria acquired possession of the guild, Hiruzen mainly stayed out of curiosity into how Victoria plans on achieving the guild's goals.

Appearance

Hiruzen is a well built and muscled man standing around average height for a man his age with slightly trimmed black hair that occasionally covers his eyes. Seemingly a side effect of possessing a powerful Lost Magic, Hiruzen's eyes take on a unique appearance with his right eye's pupil being circular while his left eye's pupil is cross shaped, reminiscent of the tic-tac-toe game.

Personality

Hiruzen is a very solemn and and dour man seemingly due in part to his trauma faced at the hands of his former partners. Neither a talkative man or openly expressive, Hiruzen has been described as a cold and emotionless man rarely displaying any other emotions aside from being mildly content with his current situation at hand.

Magic & Abilities

Enhanced Strength: Being regarded as one of the physically strongest mages in the guild, Hiruzen more than lives up to this reputation as he's been seen launching opponents yards back with mere palm thrusts without seeming to exert than the bare minimum strength to do so. Most physical and magical defenses crumble before his blows without only the strongest being able to withstand his strikes. Only a select few mages within and outside of the guild are rumored to match up to him physically.

Enhanced Speed: Hiruzen's speed is naturally as high as his physical strength is, moving at speeds that have baffled his opponents who were caught off guard due to his nonchalant attitude. His reflexes are equally as sharp as he's reacted to the cocking of a gun before the firing and dodged the barrage of gunfire that followed with more than enough time to counter

Enhanced Endurance & Durability: Comparable to a wall, Hiruzen has withstood truly crippling strikes during combat and has usually only received bruises in the process.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Being a highly trained fighter, Hiruzen is first and foremost a martial artist who uses magic as opposed to a mage who can use martial arts. Utilizing a wide variety of fighting styles, Hiruzen is able to easily outfight most mages in close quarters combat with only the most skilled fighters being capable of hoping to match him.

Arc of Embodiment (具現のアーク, Gugen no Āku): Arc of Embodiment is a dangerous magic to everyone who faces it, primarily because of its extremely daunting capabilities. As the name might suggests, Arc of Embodiment essentially allows an individual to embody anything within their imagination to established reality; a form of reality warping, in that sense. By using their own magical power and combining it with their willpower, the Arc of Embodiment can give physical sustenance to anything that the user desires. This can range from a simple pair of spectacles to giant monstrosities of magic, provided that they are within the limitations of the magical power the user possesses. Furthermore, dependent on the skill the user holds with the magic, the constructs can be rapidly created in order to avoid very fast magic with quite some ease.

While this magic is noted for its strengths, there is a crippling weakness within the magic: it cannot alter established reality. This prominently connects with the natural phenomena that exists in the current world. For example, the user is not able to imagine a thunderstorm, or any other weather-based phenomenon that directly intervenes with what is currently occurring. Another example of this is the inability to manipulate life or death directly. While they may summon a death-inducing beast of some kind, imagination of someone dead and bringing that into reality is beyond their limitations.

• Asura Rampage: Hiruzen creates a massive towering figure that resembles a six armed Asura wielding a sword in each hand. The Asura then attacks with a flurry of fast and devastating slashes that deal massive amounts of damage upon impact. The force of the slashes are powerful enough that should they be avoided, the air pressure from them are still powerful enough to cause damage to the opponent.
• March of the Army: Hiruzen creates a group of about 20 soldiers all ranging from light infantry, cavalry, heavy infantry, archers, etc and uses them as additional support during battle. The heavy infantry soldiers are best used in defense due to their durable armor and use of defensive magic while the remaining soldiers are put to work in offense.
• Clone: Hiruzen creates a near identical copy of himself that comes complete with a magic signature that is capable of throwing off sensory-type magics, allowing for Hiruzen to get the drop on his opponents. In most cases, the clone is used as a way of throwing an opponent off his trail, giving the impression he's been defeated.

• Ascalon: Named after a fabled weapon, Hiruzen creates and intricately designed spear that he uses when he engages in close quarters fighting or simply wanting to gauge how strong his opponent is. Designed to resemble the supposed weapon, the spear is incredibly durable with only the strongest of blows capable of shattering it and most defenses crumbling from its strikes.
• Forge of Hephaestus:
• Great Shield of Athena: Hiruzen creates a large golden shield powerful enough to withstand most attacks directed towards it.
• Hydra from the Deep:
• Cetus Slam:

Trivia

• Hiruzen's appearance is based on Benimaru Shinmon from the En'en no Shōbōtai series.
• I thought about making him a glass cannon but you can't use Benimaru's appearance for anything less than a badass of the highest degree in my opinion.
