Frosted Light

[Natasha]

Name: Natsuka Maru
Age: 17

Physical Appearance:
Natsuka Maru, the second oldest son of Lino Maru, shares some of his father's striking features: piercing blue eyes that seem to peer into the soul, a lean and muscular physique, and the unmistakable aura of the divine. However, Natsuka's raven black hair is a stark contrast to Lino's silver locks, and the lines of his face are sharper, hinting at the burdens he carries. Standing at 5'10", Natsuka has a presence that is both intimidating and alluring. His attire is a blend of traditional Maru garb with a touch of his own rebellious style—a tattered cloak over a studded leather vest, revealing tattoos that dance down his arms and back, each line a story of his tumultuous past. He wields a pair of twin ice-blue daggers, the blades etched with ancient Maru runes that resonate with the power of the Tsuikinisaki Gentai, and a shield that shimmers with the essence of Lumina's light.

Background:
Born into a family of legendary guardians, Natsuka Maru felt the weight of his lineage from a young age. However, his path diverged from that of his siblings. After Lino's mysterious disappearance, Natsuka's world crumbled, and he turned to drugs to cope with the pain. Despite his struggles, the fire of the Maru blood still burns within him. With the guidance of the Tsuikinisaki Gentai, he seeks to honor his heritage by becoming a beacon of hope and protection. His journey with the Saints of Lumina, a faction dedicated to purifying the corrupted, has led him down a darker path than his siblings, one where he must confront the shadows of his own soul.

Personality:
Beneath the tough exterior and the haze of his addiction lies a heart of ice. Natsuka's pain has made him guarded and often cold, but those who can break through the frost find a fiercely loyal and protective friend. His wit is sharp as his blades, and he has a knack for finding humor in even the bleakest of situations. The loss of his father has fueled his determination to become stronger, and he is driven by a desire to live up to the Maru name. His rivalry with Natasha, the daughter of Lino, is fueled by his need to prove himself and his fear of being overshadowed by her burgeoning power and their shared destiny.

Tsuikinisaki Gentai:
The Tsuikinisaki Gentai grants Natsuka the power to manipulate ice, water, and light. His connection to these elements is deeply personal, reflecting his tumultuous journey from despair to redemption. The ice represents his frozen heart, the water his capacity for change and healing, and the light, the hope he strives to protect. This unique blend of elements has earned him the title of "The Frozen Phoenix," a symbol of rebirth through adversity.

Bio:
Natsuka Maru, the prodigal son of Lino Maru, has had a life of turmoil and struggle. Despite his lineage as a guardian of Vescrutia, his path has been obscured by the shadow of his father's disappearance and the weight of his own demons. At the tender age of seventeen, he is already a force to be reckoned with, thanks to the Tsuikinisaki Gentai that pulses within him.

With the power of ice, water, and light at his command, Natsuka fights to find his place in the world. His twin daggers, the Twin Daggers of Freezefall, are a manifestation of his icy rage and the light that pierces the darkness within him. His shield, the Luminous Shield of Refraction, is an emblem of his defiant spirit, reflecting the light of hope and protecting the innocent from harm.

As a member of the Saints of Lumina, Natsuka has dedicated his life to purging the corruption that seeks to consume Vescrutia. His battles are not just against external foes but also within himself, as he grapples with the demons of his past and the allure of his addiction. Yet, with every victory and every defeat, he grows stronger, determined to live up to the legacy of his ancestors and find a way to heal the fractured world he calls home.
