Personality
Shénmì, or Enigma as some have come to call him; is a well composed individual, that likes to keep his distance. He will only introduce or speak to others when he knows they can be of use to him. He is a brilliant man capable of coming up with creative and complex scenarios even in the heat of battle. He also has an astute mind and can tell when something should or shouldn't be. Though he may seem a tad emotionless and uncaring, however, this is only to keep his mind from getting clouded, so he can make the hard choices that some cannot. Shénmì often goes where he pleases and does what he wants, no matter what it is. He isn't afraid of taking up challenges from strong opponents, in fact he doesn't show any fear at all. He always remains calm and level-headed even in a fight against multiple opponents.
Special Skills & Traits
A magic lacrima is the result of all of Shénmì's incredible gifts, including his immortality. The lacrima was embedded into his chest and as a result Shénmì had absorbed it's magic including the lacrima itself. Since immortality was just one of many abilities granted to him. The Hooded Swordsman also received incredible speed, stamina, and senses. He is even able to hover in mid air and fly short distances in a matter of seconds. As a result of absorbing the lacrima, Shénmi has massive amounts of magical energy flowing within himself. Raw magic energy that has yet to take shape. With the right amount of training Enigma will be able to use his magic energy to manipulate any element he chooses.
Focusing more on his immortality and speed, but first we will look into his immortality. Shénmì is in fact ageless; meaning he cannot die from old age and can no longer age entirely. And because of this Shénmì is also immune to disease and harmful toxins. His immune system has been greatly boosted. Meaning he can heal much faster than normal. Depending on the severity of his injuries, whether it be a small paper cut or several broken bones; it would take no longer than 5 minutes. But can take longer like I said depending on the severity of his injuries.
Next would be Shénmì's speed, his greatest speed is somewhere between mach 1 and mach 2, never surpassing the latter. Although his speed is incredible, it's his agility and dexterity that make him a dangerous adversary. Able to dodge bullets with ease and run along walls with great precision.
Kendo & Iaido Mastery: It wasn't hard for Shénmi to master these styles, seeing as he had more than enough time to perfect them. Iaido was proven to be much more difficult and took longer for him to master, but finally he managed it. However, skilled he may be; there are many that surpass him. Although his one-handed style has yet to be rivaled. He is still a well respected samurai of Japans past and counted as one of their legends. His speed in Iaido is unmatched, well until he lost his sheathe. Though manipulating what air that did gather inside the sheath, using it to firing the blade like a projectile at astonishing speeds. Things have changed, now Shénmì realize wrapping his blade with air increasing it's cutting capability as well as creating compressed air slashes hurtling towards enemies.
Weapons & Equipment
Kokuton Noroi: (lit. meaning; 黒檀の呪い "Ebony Curse") A sword. It's origin unknown. Accurately renamed by Shénmì for its ability to absorb magic energy from it's wielder, increasing it's strength and durabiliti. The sword or blade was not given to him by a close friend or relative. It was won in a fight. While wielding this two-handed blade Shénmì can send compressed air slashes with ease. The blade also doesn't seem be unaffected by magnetism or heat. The blade itself is about five and a half feet; from the tip to the base of the hilt. The handle is about one and half foot long. Together the whole sword is seven feet long in total and weighs no more than twenty three pounds. He doesn't carry or use any other weapon and only realize on Ebony Curse to get the job done.
Face Claim: Tensa Zangetsu, Zangetsu, Hollow Tensa, Mugetsu, and Hollow Mugetsu
(Not too self, I have only claimed the faces of these characters. Not the actual names them self.)
Spoilers: These forms will be announced at a later date and posted along with Shénmì's background. Some of these forms will be achieved through roleplay (or try too be achieved through roleplay). Whatever remains will be announced in his background.

- Fuushinkui: (lit. meaning; 風速の収束 "Wind Convergence") Shénmi is a proficient manipulator of wind. However the most he can do is send compressed air slashes from his blade (or hands). Though if Shénmi wanted to he could create a wind barrier around a targeted area resulting in either sucking out the air or trapping someone(s) inside. Causing the target to pass out or die of lack of air. His proficient use of this ability is hovering in mid air so he may be able to attack from above with air slashes to catch his targets off guard or fight at close range. He can also use fly short distances reaching his destination in seconds, though doing so uses up an incredible amount of magic energy. Thus is why he chooses not to fly larger distances.
