character information
● name: Seiji Date
● canon: Yoroiden Samurai Troopers
● canon point: Mid-Gaiden
● age: 16
● (canon) background: Canon Write-Up I’ve been doing because it’s hard to find all of this information in one place after so many years but here’s a basic run-down.
Japan, 1988, Seiji is a descendant of Masamune Date chosen by a mystical armor called Korin to be its bearer. He’s been chosen now, along with four other boys his age, to bear these mystical samurai armor and become the Samurai Troopers, as a great evil is coming to attack the world once again. Arago, the Demon Emperor of the Nether Realm/Demon Realm attacks Shinjuku and Seiji and the other four boys (Ryo, Toum, Shin, and Shuu) fight back against Arago and his demonic armies. Seiji’s armor Korin, is the Armor of Light, with the soul of Rei (Courtesy) that he had to awaken within himself for the armor to choose him.
They spend weeks fighting in what is basically a wasteland because of Arago capturing all the humans inside the city and imprisoning them. They do defeat Arago, but working together, and in the end combining the powers of their armor together, using Ryo’s Armor of Rekka creates the Kikoutei Armor (White Armor/Sun Armor) which is the strength they need to push Arago back into his own world. Seiji fights with the other Troopers, has to come to terms with his own abilities and his flaws that hold him back, while also dealing with his counterpart within Arago’s army, the Masho of Darkness, Anubisu. His role in canon is as one of the fellow Troopers, connected to his comrades, but also the one who stays collected while trying to see through any traps or deception plotted against them.
Eventually Arago comes back to try and take their armors, wanting to use them to control the White Armor, and Shin, Shuu, and Seiji are the ones captured. They are held captive by him for quite some time, their powers were drained to fuel Arago's recreation, only Ryo and Touma do manage to save them in the end. This leads to a big boss battle, Ryo almost dying, and a magical jewel bringing him back from the dead. Seiji and the others go about their separate ways but then Seiji gets kidnapped in New York City and the team goes to find out why his armor is on a rampage. Turns out he's being drugged up and held captive so that another demonic spirit, Shikaisen, and his mad scientist buddy can use his armor to kill people.
● (original) world: N/A
● abilities:
Enhanced
Superior speed, strength, agility, enhanced healing (to himself), sharpened sight, and an empathic/psychic connection to the other Troopers, although his connect to Ryo is stronger. All of these abilities are stronger when wearing the Armor of Korin itself. He has a strong spiritual connection, being able to sense the aura of things and recognize dark energy and natures easily. There is also the implication in an episode when he is trying to calm a frightened dear that he senses their emotions, but this is never followed up on as to whether this is another part of his empathic ability or part of his spiritual intuition, so I go with it being a mix of the two.
Armor-based
He has access to the Sword of Korin, which is a powerful long-sword with shuriken above the hilt (that Seiji never uses), but only when wearing the armor or in close proximity to it. It has the ability to bring forth light, call down lightning attacks, break through illusions by showing the truth within in the reflection of the blade, and heal wounds by absorbing sunlight and redirecting it as healing energy.
● strengths:
Courtesy : A virtue of bushido, and a core part of Sejii’s life, the idea of courtesy/grace is that a warrior has no need to be cruel or to lose their composure in the face of an opponent. To give that respect to all living beings. Seiji has a strong temper, but strives to never let himself be lost to it, because he knows that darkness and light live in all things. He sees being cruel to an enemy, no matter how demonic, or to give into anger, no matter how deserved, as dishonorable and weak, because then he’s lost already and turned into someone that he isn’t. This doesn’t mean he won’t fight seriously against the hordes of evil, but he won’t sink to their level either.
Loyalty : Seiji is deeply devoted to his family, friends, and the causes that are important to him. Once you’ve gained his loyalty (which isn’t easy), even if he’s upset with you, it’s hard to lose that. He stands by you and will even put his own body or life on the line instead. When Rajura tries to trick Seiji and Shuu into fighting one another, Seiji sees through the illusion and throws down his weapon so he wouldn’t fight Shuu, having already seen by Ryo and Shin just what damage they could do to one another. Instead he took all of Shuu’s attacks onto himself until the illusion was broken.
Intuition : Seiji has a very strong sense of intuition about people, situations, and the world. He can see auras and feel intentions, recognizing whether someone is hiding something or if a situation is more dangerous than it looks initially. He uses this intuition to think and plan before he acts, to judge opponents in battle, and to recognize when something is wrong with his friends. It allows him to look confident even when he’s being cautious, but sometimes works against him.
● weaknesses:
Too Respectful : Seiji can at times give too much respect/courtesy, as he wants to give all people the opportunity to prove themselves, even if he’s not sure about them. This can land him in situations like in when he was kidnapped in New York, or when he took blame onto himself to hide that Shingo had cheated during their match and thus he was the one punished.
Socially Awkward : Seiji can be blunt, stoic, and harsh unintentionally when in social situations, making him appear a lot less engaged than he really is. As a child, he was used to making other children unnerved or scared due to his looks and formal behavior, and remains distant so as not to come across as too intense. His honesty can also come across as being condescending without meaning to, but that’s because Seiji has little patience for people who ignore common sense. He also is very awkward with girls, having been teased enough by his older sister growing up that he has trouble speaking to them casually.
Temper : Seiji has spent most of his life learning to tame his temper, but when it comes to the fore, he losing focuses, makes rash decisions and can land himself and others in more trouble than they were in before. There are few things to really get him that angry (severe harm to his friends, cruelty to animals/nature, warriors who fight dishonorably), but when it happens, it stands out because of how quickly he can get caught up in the rage.
● job skills (optional): Seiji is a skilled swordsman/kendo practitioner, also skilled enough at driving to the point he took part in F1 races despite being underage in Japan to do so. He also enjoys bonsai tree gardening and plays the bamboo flute.
● housing (optional): Anywhere is good! Communal or private, I’m all for it.
● network username: nimblesword
● network sample:
[He chooses text over audio or video because it makes more sense. The technology of these devices is interesting, but he’s not ready for using more technology right now. Text is efficient enough and he can maintain some amount of anonymity despite his name being available. He doesn’t know who may be watching.]
Although, I am grateful for the orientation and helpful information, it cannot instill the unique perspective of those who have been brought here and their experiences. I would appreciate hearing those perspectives and if those brought here are indeed seeking the new home that was expressed by the assistants.
