Personality: Shisokou is usually quiet and relaxed. He stays calm even in almost desperate situations. His goal is to completely obliterate his own kind, including himself once he makes sure that the whole race is destroyed. His other goal is to completely seal Katsura's vampiric characteristics forever to make her live a normal human life. He hates the things that he thinks vampires do: bloodshed, especially feeding on human blood. He has complete control of hus blood lust. He only drinks blood from either deceased humans or humans who give him permission to feed off them. In battle, he tries not to kill his opponent, but only disable him/her or flee the scene, unless the opponent is a vampire. In his full vampire form, which he almost never unleashes, he retains his appearance but he becomes more agressive and violent. He only uses that form in desperate situations.
Powers: WisdomUnlike Katsura, Shisokou was not put to sleep for hundreds of years. He has gained wisdom from that long time. He also has a lot of experience when it comes to things, although he has only mastered his control with spirit tags. This long time of life also makes him a good strategist.
Spirit ReleaseShisokou carries Spirit Tags with special characters written on them. Each tag has a certain purpose. These purposes are either Healing, Status Ailments (Poison, Sleep, Paralysis), Elemental Control, repelling specific spirits/creatures, and banishment of weakened spirits. Using these tags exhausts his spirit energy rapidly and he cannot sustain more than three tags at the same time. Using one kind of tag in numbers does not drain as much as using different kinds of tags at the same time.
Tarot ReleaseThis is the second form of Spirit Release. Using special spirit-infused Tarot Cards of the Major Arcania, Shisokou can cast more specific spells according to the card that he selects. However, this drains more energy(almost all of the user's energy, which makes it only useable once every battle unless in extreme circumstances) than Spirit Release and it needs more focus in order to control and sustain it.
Enhanced SpeedBecause of his vampiric characteristics, Shisokou has enhanced speed. At maximum, his speed makes it look as if he is dashing, almost teleporting in very short distances, while leaving a blurred trail behind.
Equipment:Spirit TagsThese tags look like normal paper tags, but they are infused with Shisokou's own spirit energy. He can cast several spells with these tags. These are light, small, and easy to carry, which makes it a good weapon to carry in numbers. These still have the properties of normal paper unless activated. Before activation, it can still be incinerated, soaked, or teared.
Chain SwordThis is a longsword with a hard and sharp exterior and a hollow interior. In the hollow interior, there is a light and flexible chain attached to the hilt. There is a switch-like attachment to the handle of the sword that separates the blade into several segments and exposes the chain. This gives it extra range and whip-like flexibility. The sword can be retracted by moving the switch-like attachment to its original position. This weapon requires mastery, since the long, whip-like form is really flexible and long but can cut the user.
Sapphire RingThis ring can detect different spirit signatures so that Shisokou can tell vampires apart from other creatures. The intensity of the sapphire gemstone's glow classifies different creatures' spirit signatures. This is also worn for good luck.
Tarot Cards-Major ArcaniaThese look like normal Tarot Cards, but they each have a special kind of spirit energy that is unique in each one of them. These cards have specific effects and there are only one of each kind remaining in the world. It is said that the person who obtains all of them shall gain unimaginable power. Shisokou can also combine these cards with Spirit Tags. That combo drains all of his energy, but can have devastating effects. Shisokou is currently looking for the rest of the cards. (Note: The card's powers are sustained in order to use the effects properly, meaning that it only drains a lot of energy initially, but it drains virtually no energy at all once sustained properly. It allows lengthened use of the card, but limited switching of powers.)

It all depends on whether the user has enough control over all of the powers combined.
History: ChildhoodShisokou's father was a vampire and his mother was a human. They lived in a smaller castle a few miles a way from Kumori Castle. His father was the brother of Katsura's father. However, they were different. His father was more compassionate and has more value of human life than his uncle, Katsura's father. He was taught how to control blood lust at a young age, which makes him calmer than Katsura. However, his true vampire form was harder to activate. Once he has activated it, his blood lust was still controllable but he became slightly more agressive. Ten years after his birth, he met Katsura when he was roaming around the woods. He has learned about her life and about how his father killed her mother in a really gruesome way. That made him hate his own kind and himself at the same time. He told Katsura not to worry, since he will learn how to completely seal her vampire form so he will not be provoked by her. Once they parted, he got home and gave his father an unusual request: to learn how to control spirit energy and tell them apart. His father agreed in interest and taught him how to use spirit tags. Behind his father's back, Shisokou is watching each and every one of his moves after hearing Katsura's story.
BetrayalAfter thirty more years, Shisokou's spirit control has matured and he has mastered how to use spirit tags. He was a mature vampire now, and he was given a ring from his father as a reward for mastering spirit control. That ring was said to give good luck and detect spirit signatures. He was still watching his father's moves after all those years. One day, thirty-three years after Katsura's warning, his mother suddenly vanished. He looked around the castle grounds and eventually found his mother's body after a few days in the graveyard, with bite marks on her neck. He questioned his father and eventually discovered that his father actually killed his mother after losing control over his blood lust. He tried apologizing to Shosokou but in rage and hate, Shisokou grabbed his father's longsword and recklessly fought, eventually killing his own father. The sword snapped into several fragments after his last hit. After killing his father, he has realized that he just killed one of his own kind and other vampires will be after him. Thinking that all vampires are the same, ruthless killers, he decided to become a vampire slayer. The ring that his father gave him will be of good use. He bowed in front of his father's dead body and picked up the sword fragments.
Waiting for his cousin's awakeningShisokou found out that Katsura was sealed into a deep sleep, and that she will awaken after a few hundred years. Knowing this, he prepared for her awakening. The next hundred years of his life was his search for more wisdom and experience in combat. He has killed many vampires in that few hundred years. That was a good start to his goal of the total obliteration of the vampires. He also plans on destroying himself after completing his goal. His cousin, the only one whom he cares for after the death of his mother, was the only one he plans to spare. He plans on eternally sealing her vampiric traits for her to live a normal human life.
