Hizen is a prickly sword spirit that used to belong to one of Japan's most infamous assassins. He's open about the fact that he's a killer and while he's not exactly proud of it, he also thinks that's all he has going for him. He's blunt, direct, has little patience for people, and is rough around the edges. Sprinkle in some low self-esteem, self-worth issues, and the fact that he considers himself more of a tool than a person and you understand Hizen enough.
He does have good points like being a hard worker and the fact that he genuinely wants to be good (he just doesn't know how). The only thing that really makes him happy is eating and drinking and he has a bottomless stomach to go along with it.
Initial Ideas:
❀ Hizen didn't come here to make friends. He came here to eat food and drink. Hizen will actually, really be in a good mood for the start of the festival. The calming effects help... but food just genuinely makes him feel good.
❀ Honestly, he's avoiding a lot of the festivities because he's not social... someone drag him to things. Bully him, please. He's very easy to bully.
❀ He's going to get thrown out the Shuten sumo ring and eat more food to feel better.
❀ LET HIZEN FIGHT. Hizen might be depowered but he's, 1. A natural assassin and skilled fighter 2. Specializes in fighting in low visibility (dark, fog, smoke, etc) 3. Specializes in fighting in small/crowded places 4. Basically, he's in his element here.
❀ Hizen is going to try to chase the assassins down and get shot because guns > swords. He'll power through it out of pure spite and adrenaline but it'll catch up with him. Until then, Hizen is going to do that thing he does when he gets seriously injured and goes feral. His priority will be trying to track down the assassins but if anyone comes for him in the chaos... Hizen only attacks to kill or critically injure. Feel free to try and calm him down/stop him from hecking up someone from one of the other factions in self-defense???
❀ Since he's going to have a bad time during all the fighting... heal, please. He'll hate it and be a difficult patient but it's a good chance to let Hizen reveal the fact that he hates hates hates being a weak loser and has some issues.
❀ I might limit those last 2 ideas to a certain number of people for narrative reasons but I am open to all CR come at me
