The Shinsengumi

The Remaining Shinsengumi:

Name: Nagakura Shinpachi

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Appearance: Slightly tanned skin, rough exterior, trimmed beard, hair in a short queue at the back, brown eyes

Personality: Shinpachi is one of the more serious members of the Shinsengumi. He always has Souji's back and was through his days as a member, hailed as one of the greatest swordsmen, next to Saito and Souji. Always level-headed, he keeps a cool and calm exterior over a brutally efficient killers attitude.

History: Shinpachi was the former Captain of the 2nd squad of the Shinsengumi. Soon after the new Shinsengumi's creation, Shinpachi joined under Souji as his right hand man, serving more or less as a vice commander.

Weapon: Tachi - extremely skilled with it

Fighting Style: Shingyoto-Ryu - most likely assination or skilled swordsmanship techniques considering his expertise.



Names: Toshizo Hijikata, Isami Kondou, Keisuke Yamanami, Sanosuke Harada, Heisuke Todo, Saito Hajime (?)

Gender: All are male

Age: 17-37

Appearance: All have short or long hair, which is usually tied up in the usual queue or pony-tail. They all wear the traditional Shinsengumi outfit over a kimono or darker color and white hakamas with braces on the arms or legs.

Personality: Most of the members, with the exception of the more series leaders such as Hijikata and Saito, enjoy goofing around and generally having a good time. In times of battle, all are quite series and back their attitudes with great talent. Even though Souji had been named the First Squads Captain, the same old hierarchy has existed, though after the Bakumatsu, it is much more relaxed.

History: The best of the warriors within the Shinsengumi, these men were feared globally by all Isshin-Shishi as warriors of great talent. Though in name, they fought for the Shogunate and Bakufu, their actual ambitions remain mysterious. Most think they still continue on guarding the city of Kyoto, as they had always been tasked with.

Weapons: All vary between Katana, Wakizashi, Yari (spears), Naginata, and Kodachi.

Fighting Style: Many use the Tennen-Rishin Ryu, or combinations of others.

Cool picture.
