Name:Sesshoumaru
Age:Appears 19 so I'm guessing....a few hundred years in human years.Don't know exactly.
Blood:Demon
Family alive:Half brother still alive,Step mom is dead, but demon mother is alive.Demon father dead.
Mate:None
Offspring:None.
Appearance ( may provide a picture instead ):
Personality:At first glance, he appears to be cold, calm, collected, and confident to the point of arrogance. He has also been mentioned by Jaken as someone who's very proud and no matter what it may look like on the outside, he'd actually be seething inside if he were to ever be made a fool of. His character is actually quite a mystery as you're never sure of what to expect from him. Somewhat of a loner, he keeps his thoughts to himself and he only talks when he sees a purpose in doing so. In that sense, you never see him talk just for the sake of chatting, even with his own companions. When he does talk, however, he gets right to the point. His words can also be pretty blunt with insults and his tone often condescending, most notable when speaking to Inuyasha.
Although he may be perceived as an evil youkai, he's not someone you would call "sneaky" or deceitful. He does not hide behind anyone or send minions to do his dirty work- unlike, say Naraku. In fact, he had once expressed his dislike for this method of doing things.
Powers and Weapons:
The Dokkasou Technique:
The Dokkasou Tehcnique is sesshoumarus poison claw technique.Like inuyasha (his little half demon brother) his claws extract a sort of poison which can melt anything and everything it comes into contact with.When he uses this technique his hand usually glows a bright green to signify that the poison is gathering in his claws and then he may use it in various versions. One version of it is spraying it out like a mist or some sort of cloud, whatever touches it or comes into contact with it becomes goo or just melts away. Another form of this attack is when he grips an opponent and lets the poison seep through his skin thus burning or melting away at whatever he has hold of.
.
The Whip:
Another technique of his is that he can form a sort of rope energy from his pointer and middle finger thus using it much like a whip. Like all his other attacks he can utilize it in many ways and decimate multiple enemies with it.
The Transformation:
Like all demons in his race which is dog demon he can transform into his true form which is infact a big ol doggy.In this form he grows huge and humans and demons alike are about the size of his paw his strength also increases four fold as well.In this form he looses his speed ability but not to the point where he slows down dramatically. He is very agile in this form even though huge and can even achieve a sort of hover in this form as well.The poison also carrys on into this form which now seeps from his mouth as saliva and a from of mist or breath which he can utilize to either suffocate things or bite things to inflict with poison.
The Furry Wrap:
Ah the mysterious piece of fur that is on his right shoulder is also a tool for combat. He can move this thing at will and even use it to wrap or grip things with. He can also make it grow in size to use it as a flying device of some sort.
The Toukijin:
The toukijin is one of two swords that sesshoumaru carrys around with him. Since the sword Tenssaiga has no use for him but to heal he forged this sword out of another demons which was Goshinki. Goshinki was a demon that had very strong fangs and could literaly break the strongest of swords. It's abilitys as a sword is even great, The swords pressure/energy is able to cut an opponent without physically touching them.It also has the ability to fire off blast of pure evil energy.
Tensaiga
The other sword he carrys is the Tensaiga. A sword forged from his fathers own fang it is a sword of healing and cannot be used to slay an enemy only send them to the afterlife without actually killing them. How you ask? I'll explain. The abilities of the sword makes the user see the paul bearers that come to take away the dieing persons soul thus allowing the user to use the sword to kill off the bearers and revive the person.Another ability of the sword is the technique called the Mediou Zangetsuha which literally opens up a or cuts a whole in the dimensions that separate the living world from the dead or rather as we call it hell. One last ability fo the tensaiga is that it can create a shield around sesshoumaru if he is attacked by a lethal attack at the last second to save his life.
The fighting style:
[When engaged in battle, Sesshoumaru is always cool and calm. His thoughts are collected even during difficulties, and his body moves as though it requires no effort on his part. His maneuvers almost seem to be a part of his instinctual reflex especially since you never see him hesitate or fret about which move to make. Moreover, he rarely shows any emotions while fighting, and he's unphased even when hit. Reading someone's reactions in a battle can often help a fighter analyze the opponent's moves and in this sense, it makes Sesshoumaru an even more difficult opponent to anticipate.
Regardless of what he may be doing or looking at, Sesshoumaru always seems to know what's happening around him. He's extremely observant of his surroundings and reacts very quickly to respond to them- it's as though nothing ever surprises him. In fact, the only time I remember him being distinctly "surprised" during battle was when Inuyasha was taken over by his youkai blood- and even then, he reacted quickly.
Because Sesshoumaru always have full control and use of his body, this tends to put him at a far advantage in a battle. His speed is incredible and he dodges attacks so easily it's like second nature to him. He's capable of moving faster than the eye can see and this often takes his enemies by surprise. In one blink of an eye, he can be in an entirely different point of space from a moment ago. Giving his speed even more advantage is his capability to control his body by levitating himself and maneuvering mid-air with the same kind of grace. From mid-air, he can continue to attack while making it difficult for his opponents to reach him.
Senses:
His senses are short from spectacular due to his race which is a Daiyoukai meaning dog demon.The most sense that stands out from the rest is the sense of smell. From miles away he can track down an enemy just by gathering it's scent then following it to where the enemy lay.He also at one point sensed inuyasha scent had change when he transformed into his pre demon from. Another of his senses which he used in the anime, is the sense of hearing. From smell alone he could tell what was going on, or events that are happening when really he wasn't in the general area.So basically all five sense come into play with him.Aside from the normal senses he also had another sense to sense an enemy's aura.
Super stregth:
What would a demon be without it? . It is said that sesshoumaru posses an enormous amount of strength which compared to inuyasha, only equals to one of his arms. Even though hindered by one hand he seems unaffected by this.
Super speed:
With this ability of his, he can move faster then the eye can see. In the anime we see him battling inuyasha with little to no effort on his part instantaneously appearing out of nowhere and striking inuyasha catching him off guard.The environment dose not affect his speed even in the air he is without any limitations.
Teleportation
He also has the ability to transform himself into a small ball of energy transporting himself and small amounts of materials or human beings with him over great distance.
Immunity:
We've all seen him resist poison being unaffected by disease or anything that can paralyze or kill any normal human being weaker creatures including weaker youkai.His greatest restraint would be towards that of holy and divine powers, we see him in anime enter mt. hakurei which in the entire series contained the strongest bairrer in the series, saying this because the barrier extended the entire mountain and to the outskirts of it as well.Another immunity of his, is the inability be affected by absorbing or any other method of being absorbed to any other yokais body. This is because sesshoumarus aura is complete which naraku stated when he tried to absorb him into his body, but Sesshoumaru broke out of his body free and unharmed.Because his aura is complete and so strong human attacks are useless against him and would not leave even the lslithgtes scratch upon him.
Intelligence
Despite the fact that he is very knowledgeable of the demon world and all of his surroundings , this is in fact sesshoumarus weakest point stated by Rumiko Takashi.Though we see his intelllgence as very high it pales in comparison to his other abilitys.
Regeneration
Like all demons he has the ability to completely heal his wounds after battle
Flight
Last but not least his has the ability of flight. In the anime we see him riding on a dust cloud. We also see him hover when fight inuyasha as well .
History:
Sesshomaru clearly displays a general despise of his half brother InuYasha, though, even with his harsh treatment of his half brother sesshomaru seems to at least give some care for InuYasha at times. This despise from Sesshomaru however doesn't seem rooted in the fact that Inu is only a half yokai. Infact, it seems to be centered around far before their fued ever started. In the past Sesshomaru, along with his father Inu Taiyoukai, fought with the cat youkai clans, it was during this time that InuYasha was sealed by a "miko" and would be unable to join them in the war. This may have started the resentment from Sesshomaru upon his half brother, however, this is not the only thing that Sesshomaru really homes in on against InuYasha, at many times he doesnt entirely chide InuYasha for being half blood but more for his lack of power, though he very openly uses the half blood as a striking point, it may very well be a reminder constantly that InuYasha like Sesshomaru carries the strong youkai blood of their father. [As a note of this Sesshomaru constantly claims that he will kill InuYasha but never actually takes the opportunity to do so. Saving him a couple of times even.] Sesshomaru constantly prods and pokes at InuYasha's power more then his actual bloodlines when fighting which shows at least a sort of caring for his bother in the sense that Sesshomaru belives struggle to be the center of life. In this way he attempts to push InuYasha to become stronger by getting inside his brothers head making InuYasha work harder. [As of note Sesshomaru does indeed eventually lend part of his aquired power from the Tenseiga to InuYasha's Tessaiga why however is not clearly known as Sesshomaru tends to be very hard to read.]
Sesshomaru's relationship with InuYasha in the past may have been a lot less strained then it is now as well. Especially before and during the wars between his own youkai clan and that of the cat youkai clan. It was during this time that Sesshomaru sent on of his "retainers" Jaken to find InuYasha and ask for his assistance. This is of course far different from the usual stance that Sesshomaru now takes with InuYasha in that not only does he recognize his brothers usefulness but respects his power. Also, back during those times Sesshomaru was not interested in the Tessaiga as he is now. Hinting at perhaps his brothers folly 50 years ago as being the real source of Sesshomaru's disappointment in him. Though, back then InuYasha and Sesshomaru most likely didn't see eye to eye their relationship wasn't as strained or hostile as it is now. Most notably in the fact that Sesshomaru had to send Jaken to find InuYasha for assistance. Of course as mentioned before, Jaken returned to Sesshomaru reporting that InuYasha was sealed.
This could very well be [and most likely is] the main basis for Sesshomaru's obsession with taking away Tessaiga from InuYasha deeming him unworthy of the sword. Sesshomaru himself has used words such as: selfish, unworthy, and ungrateful to describe InuYasha while the cat youkai where seeking another war with the dog youkai. Above all these words clearly show the grudge that Sesshomaru now carries against InuYasha in short coming to the point of disowning him from the family business. [And Royal blood.] This really is about as far as the split between InuYasha and Sesshomaru gets, neither one though probably Sesshomaru being the most likely to kill the other never has, and most of their battles involve Sesshomaru prodding and taunting InuYasha more often then not bringing out his brothers anger, and indirectly perhaps helping him to grow stronger. Perhaps, trying to allow InuYasha to prove himself "worthy" though most likely it's in order for InuYasha to prove himself to Sesshomaru, even though Sesshomaru never says such.
Sesshomaru unlike InuYasha also had strong ties to his father, fighting along side of him and of course is the source of Sesshomaru's Tenseiga and InuYasha's Tessaiga, the latter of which said to have been made to protect his human wife. [Which makes it very Ironic that Sesshomaru wanted that sword in a way.] Secondly and probably more ironic is that Sesshomaru's sword and the meaning of his name are total opposites which hints at least partially to why he despises the sword so much. Of course Sesshomaru is a full blood youkai like his father, though he is far smaller in his true for then Inu Taiyokai hinting that he is still quite young for a youkai. Sesshomaru also inherited the western lands from his father after his death at the hands of Ryuukossei. However, as such the only lasting connection now to his father is the Tenseiga, and indeed that may be the only reason Sesshomaru carries it with him. [Out of sheer respect. And in turn shows a great care for his father and the lands he inherited.] Also of note, Sesshomaru had a conversation with his father just before his death, asking that he give Sesshomaru the fangs Sou'Unga and Tessaiga, saying that power is required for the path of conquest. It was then that his father asked him if he had something to protect. [Sesshomaru has never actually admitted it but Rin seems to fill that role in the series.]
The case with Sesshomaru's actual mother however is far different her existance and her relationship with Sesshomaru is completely unknown. [It wasnt until very late in the current Manga version that shes even been introduced.] All that can be surmised is that she was a dog demon. [Again later on its shown she like Inu is of very high ranking...though that could simply be from being his wife.] Other then that she is truly a mystery. Though she may be the reason Sesshomaru has somewhat different markings then his father.
Note: While Inu and Sesshomarus mother both have two mokomoko at present Sesshomaru only has one, if this is simply because of his very young age. [most likely] or not is unknown. But, it is obvious that his father is far older then Sesshomaru even at the end of the series. [Somewhat as if a prince growing to become a king.]
Sesshomaru's relationship with his step mother is equally mysterious. Not much is known about it and its not even known if the two ever met. [If so it was at best probably a very tense meeting.] It is known that she was a full human, and that of course in turn made InuYasha a hanyou. [Half demon]. It is also known that she died long before the story between Sesshomaru and InuYasha unfolded. The only real clue to what possibly was their relationship is when Sesshomaru uses a replica of InuYasha's mother to try to get the location of his fathers hidden tomb out of his half brother. At first Sesshomaru showed distaste to this method, it originally being Jaken's idea, but agreed to it regardless showing that he most likely didn't think much of his step mother, and the insuing act he put on supports this as Sesshomaru was relatively abusive to the replica. Though as such it's rather unsurprising considering 1 she was human and 2 was married to his father, and 3 also was involved indirectly with his fathers death.
