About the Character
Character Personality (Please give an in depth description of your character’s personality, must be at least 5 sentences):
Saito has six personalities thanks to his... origins, and so it's hard to keep track of him. Saito has managed to keep his personality distinct so far, but as time passes, the other five personalities will erode his own with their memories and force of will, and who knows what would happen afterward?
In his main personality, Saito tries to act cold to others so keep his distance, but really, he's just shy. The reason he acts cold is because he knows there's people trying to hunt him, so he can't trust anyone so easily. And even before his parents were killed, he never liked to talk much. He often keeps to himself, and as a result, he rarely makes friends. But when he does, he trusts them with his life.
He doesn't have an attitude about things, and is really very humble. He never looks down on people, and always sees the silver lining in both people and things. He's a bit unsure of himself, however, and always contrasts his own weaknesses to their strengths. Nevertheless, he works hard to be the best he can. His humbleness also makes him rather kind and nice, helping whomever is in trouble because he knows they're human like he is.
The following list is for his split personalities:
Character Appearance (Please include such things as height, hair color, eye color, body type, clothing, weight, etc. You need to actually write a description. You may include a picture for reference. Must be at least 5 sentences):
Saito is a bit taller than average, standing at about 5' 10". He has with rather messy short brown hair and hazel-green eyes. His normal outfit consists of a white t-shirt with a black zip-up vest (often unzipped) and jeans and sneakers. He's not overly muscular, but he has a lean build. All in all, an average teenager. In fact, he looks so average, that it is easy to miss him in a crowd of people as it is so easy for him to blend in - which is what he wants, considering that he needs to be able to be subtle.
Despite his nature, Saito's expressions rarely betray his emotions, and not even his eyes change all that much. He only shows his real emotions around people he can trust - which honestly, is not much. That being said, the emotions that slip out rather often are his nervousness. Therefore, he's often looking around nervously and seems even a bit fidgety from time to time. And no, it's not an act - he genuinely this nervous around a lot of things.
Battle Statistics
Character Position (Hero/Neutral/Villain):
Saito himself is neutral good. Arthur is lawful good, Heracles is more chaotic neutral, Sun Wukong is chaotic good, Hattori Hanzo is true neutral, and Blackbeard is neutral evil.
Character Abilities (Maximum of 15 abilities allowed - please write your abilities in list form, starting with name & then description):
Personality Switch - Having split personalities is not easy. Saito never knows when they're going to supplant him and leaving him at places doing things he has no memory of doing. The personality switch is more likely to happen when Saito is stressed - and yes, combat does count as rather stressful for him, though a good deal of lesser things can switch it. As all five personalities fight for control, there's usually no way to tell which personality will surface until it's established, and if the situation is still stressful, then eventually, someone else will take their place. In RP terms, when in combat, Saito will switch personalities, with me using a random number generator to figure out which personality takes place, and the personality switches again every three posts. Passive.
Inhuman Strength - Thanks to the bodily modifications that have been done to his body, Saito is much stronger than a regular human, able to lift 250 lbs. easily. It's even more emphasized as Heracles, where he gains the strength to lift boulders thrice his height in diameter with ease. After all, he dud bear the weight of the world at one time. Passive.
Inhuman Speed - With the way his muscles were constructed, Saito can move extremely fast - as fast as an Olympic runner. He's even faster as Heracles, who can move as fast as a cheetah, and even more so as Hanzo, whose speed is beyond what normal human eyes can follow. Passive.
Inhuman Durability - Saito was made to be the ultimate 'hero', so therefore he was made to have heroic endurance, withstanding much more than the average human would. Heracles is even more so, to the point where it seems like his flesh is like steel and requiring powerful hits in order to damage him. Passive.
Supreme Blade - Usable only by King Arthur. Charging Excalibur with magical energy, he swings his blade, creating a giant wave of energy that's approximately fifty feet tall and twenty feet across. Although it's dodgeable, the wave of very wide and tall, making that quite a hard thing to do. Trying to block it is rather ill-advised considering just how strong it is. Six post cooldown.
Avalon - Usable only to King Arthur. As long as he has the sheath of Exaclibur, Avalon, he has a vastly increased rate of regeneration - by about 75%. This means he recovers stamina and strength as well as heal up from injuries much faster than normal. For example, a broken arm takes a few hours to heal. Passive.
Somersault Cloud - Usable only by Sun Wukong. Creating a cloud under him, he can fly around to all sorts of different places, and at extremely high speeds too. He can even take one or two passengers along. Toggleable.
Shadowstep - Usable only by Hattori Hanzo. Hanzo can step into the shadows and step out of any other shadows within a 500 foot radius, allowing for him to move in, assassinate his target, and move out. He can still teleport without shadows, but the radius then is restricted to about 50 feet. One post cooldown.
Lead Barrage - Priming his gun with magic replicating bullets, Blackbeard fires a large amount of shots at once (around 100), filling a large area in front of area with lead. They're only as strong as normal bullet shots so blocking is rather easy, but dodging them is particularly difficult considering the sheer amount of bullets as well as the large area they cover. Three post cooldown.
Character Weapons (Maximum of 5 weapons allowed – members must have 100 posts before their characters may wield a keyblade):
Phantom Weapons - As the original weapons of the legends could not be procured without immense amounts of difficulty, replicas were created, as close and as powerful as their original counterparts.
Character Summons:
Triple Trouble - One of Wukong's trademark abilities in his legends is creating copies of himself. Here, it's no exception. Plucking hairs out of his hair and blowing on them, he can create up to three clones of himself. Each of them are equipped with the Gold-Banded Staff that can also contract and expand, and also has his mannerisms, but not the personality switching that Saito suffers from. Although they last three posts, if the personality is switched while they're out, they instantly disappear as the spell maintaining them vanishes. Three post cooldown.
Queen Anne's Revenge - The infamous ship of Blackbeard himself, it is a giant black galleon made to inspire fear in even the bravest of warriors. It doesn't require water as it seems to be able to float on air as well as water. At his word, the Queen Anne's Revenge can and will turn all its cannons to his target and blast them to kingdom come. It has 36 cannons and a firing range of about 50 feet. Three post duration, though once again it disappears if the personality switches before he can finish using it. Five post cooldown.
Character Racial Ability: N/A
Character Strengths (1 required): With the power and strength of five legends, Saito is a very powerful individual...
Character Weaknesses (1 required): ... if he could ever gain control of his rather tumultuous personalities, that is.
Character History (Minimum of 10 sentences required.):
Saito was not a normally-born human being. Rather, he was a test-tube creation that was originally made as a human weapon. Part of Project LEGEND, he was to be the ultimate warrior, perfect for any kind of situation. Using both the DNA and residual 'magic memory' of heroes, their aspects were fused into Saito and he was modified so he could use them fully. He was also had circuits and microchips built in to control him and allow him to channel the powers and strengths better.
For a few years, he was monitored and modified as needed, and when he was little more than a child, he was made to kill five men. At first, the base personality he was born was frightened as a little child should and tried to run. However, one of the personalities soon supplanted his - Heracles, who tore apart the men with ease. Before he could be subdued, however, the wills of the five legends overwhelmed any control parameters, allowing their true personalities to surface. Turning to King Arthur, he obliterated the entire facility with the phantom Excalibur.
Escaping the place, Saito soon collapsed in Traverse Town, exhausted and near-dead, for he had not eaten nor drank for the longest time (the scientists had not had time to remove his need for food and drink). Taken in by a elderly couple, he was raised as their own son. When Saito was 16, however, the researchers found him, and killed his foster parents in their efforts to kill him. He escaped, and now lives on the run, trying to manage and master his personalities as best as he could.

His humbleness also makes him rather kind and nice, helping whomever is in trouble because he knows they're human like he is.
The following list is for his split personalities:
- King Arthur - King Arthur is a very noble, very kind-hearted individual. He is rather stern, as befits a king, but he is charismatic and often acts more like a father. One can't be a good king without a good modicum of intelligence and knowledge, and Arthur proves to be no exception. Honorable and strong, he is not afraid to stand on the front lines with his allies and fight shoulder to shoulder. In fact, it's what he prefers. As such, he has a certain disdain for subversive combat, such as assassinations and poisons. In combat, he keeps a cool, calm head. As befits a king, he is a very proficient swordsman and a great strategist, and as such is a very powerful opponent.
- Heracles - Lots in the way of strength, little in the way of knowledge. Heracles is the type who is just as quick to laugh as he is to anger. He delights in physical activities, be it something as simple as sports or (his particular favorite), combat. Loud and boisterous, he's a rather arrogant individual who believes his problems can be solved by his strength alone. He's the type to punch first, ask questions never. When he goes into combat, he may use some flashes of cunning against certain strong individuals, but otherwise, he prefers to simply charge headfirst and improvise. Thankfully, he has the skill, strength, and speed to do so, and he knows it.
- Sun Wukong - Without a doubt, THE most mischievous of the personalities. Wukong likes to play pranks and tricks on enemies and friends alike, and isn't afraid to make a joke at their expense. Highly intelligent and cunning, he likes showing off by outwitting everyone and tricking them all. He almost never takes anything seriously, sporting an almost-always present grin on his face. That being said, although he's cocky as all heck and an absolute trickster, he is definitely not short on courage and will face danger without a flinch. He is also surprisingly perceptive and wise too, for all his supposed immaturity, and will also dispense advice if asked... if you can see through his rather immature self first.
- Hattori Hanzo - As befits an assassin and ninja, Hattori Hanzo speaks little and thinks much. He guards his expressions and body languages closely, making sure there's no slip up that might betray something to anyone, even his allies, for today's allies could easily be tomorrow's enemies. His eyes always dart around, memorizing the geography of his environment so he could use it for his assassinations when necessary. Extremely intelligent and cunning, he also is well-versed in poisons and assassination methods and is not afraid to use them, making him one of the most pragmatic of the personalities, alongside Blackbeard. When he speaks, it'd be best if one listens to him.
- Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach - Combine ruthlessness with greed and harsh cunning and you'd have the basic ingredients of Blackbeard. Blackbeard was feared as a pirate, and for good reasons. Although he doesn't support wanton killing, he has little in the way of mercy if it ever comes to fights. A deadeye shot with his flintlock pistols, he's used to being a captain and often uses the pistols to remind people who's boss. He's quite greedy, but he's not stupid. If trying to get certain riches is going to get him killed, he'll find other ones. Surprisingly for a pirate, Blackbeard is quite educated, and can be seen reading classics from time to time. And contrary to most pirates, he's not very boisterous, in fact seeming rather grim and calculating. But in the end, the first and last thing is that he cares for number one, no more, no less.

Character Position (Hero/Neutral/Villain):
Saito himself is neutral good. Arthur is lawful good, Heracles is more chaotic neutral, Sun Wukong is chaotic good, Hattori Hanzo is true neutral, and Blackbeard is neutral evil.

He can still teleport without shadows, but the radius then is restricted to about 50 feet. One post cooldown.

Character Weapons (Maximum of 5 weapons allowed – members must have 100 posts before their characters may wield a keyblade):
Phantom Weapons - As the original weapons of the legends could not be procured without immense amounts of difficulty, replicas were created, as close and as powerful as their original counterparts.
- Excalibur - The legendary sword of King Arthur, it is a large two-handed sword with a rather wide blade, 3.5 feet long, made more for slashing than stabbing, though it still can do so. It radiates with potent magical power, making it a truly powerful weapon.
- Nemean Lion Skin - Not really a weapon, but it's Heracles' artifact nevertheless. Draped over his shoulders and covering his head like a cloak, the Nemean lion skin, while very soft and warm, is also almost impervious to all physical attacks, though magical ones, because of their nature, may still pierce through. It looks like a lion skin, but it shines and is colored like bronze.
- Gold-Banded Staff - It looks like a long, simple staff made of black metal with golden ends, but it's hardly just that. At Wukong's word, it can expand and shrink as well as extend and contract at will. So far, there doesn't seem to be a limit on the distance or size he can make it, but Wukong is pragmatic enough to keep it at good sizes for fighting.
- Chain-Sickle - The favored weapon of ninjas, it's a sickle at the end of a very long length of chain. The chain is about twenty feet in length. At the other end of a chain is a metal counterweight so that both sides could be used as a weapon. Hard to use, even harder to master, under Hattori Hanzo's grip, the uses of the Chain-Sickle for assassinations and combat are near-limitless.
- Flintlock Pistols - a pair of flintlock pistols engraved with images of mermaids on the side, Blackbeard unsurprisingly always keeps at his waist. Although normally they are cumbersome to reload, somehow Blackbeard's found a way around that, using replicating shots and modified flintlock pistols, allowing him to fire it like a semi-automatic.
Character Summons:
