Contact: Any of the ones listed in my profile. Preferably e-mail or PM.
Age: Appears 19 | Actually 700
Nick Names and Titles: Sesshomaru-sama [Lord Sesshomaru], Lord of the Western Lands
Type: Canon
Race: Dog Demon
Occupation: N/A
Company: His own, followed by Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un
Location: Feudal Era Japan; most often various forests
Appearance:
Sesshomaru stands at 5'10" which seems to tower over the rest of the characters with humanized forms, as he always looks down on them. He weighs 167.6 pounds.
Personality: A very powerful demon lord (taiyōkai, literally great yōkai); Sesshomaru often appears aloof and indifferent, and rarely shows any emotions other than slight annoyance or dissatisfaction. He thinks highly of himself and is cruel to others, though he is protective of his minions. He cares little for others, and thinks of humans in particular as the mere mortals that they are, while at times amusing, ultimately expendable. With the ambition to walk the path of conquest, he desires to become stronger, (although he is incredibly strong already, possibly as strong or stronger than Naraku) even at the expense of others.
He believes that struggle is the only way for survival and especially despises InuYasha, his half-human half-demon (hanyō) brother, who wields the powerful Tetsusaiga, a sword made from one of their father's fangs that can kill 100 yōkai in one strike. Although he claims to detest the fact his father's blood runs through Inuyasha's veins, Sesshomaru has spared him countless times when he could easily deliver a death blow.
Background: Sesshomaru was born from a pure demon mother and father. Little is known about his mother. His father was the Great Dog Demon, and Sesshomaru wished to one day surpass him. However, his father fell in love with a human, no longer with his mother. When Izayoi (his father's lover) became pregnant, she was attacked by a man who felt betrayed by her love for a demon. He set fire to her room, and she died. However, the Great Dog Demon saved her with his Tenseiga. Before he died in battle against her would-be murderer, he told her to name the baby Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru detests they share the same father, and the fact that the Tetsusaiga was given to Inuyasha instead of him. All Sesshomaru received was the Tenseiga, which could save one hundred lives in one swing. When first finding the Tetsusaiga, he lost his arm, Inuyasha having cut it off. Thus, Sesshomaru was left only with Tokijin (a forged blade) and Tenseiga. He uses it sparingly, not one to care about the life or death of others. After a battle with his half-brother, he was wounded and unable to move. Rin, a young human girl found him and offered him drink and food.
When she was slain by wolves, he resurrected her with his fang, and she and Jaken traveled alongside of him from there on out. Jaken had been the ruler of an imp army hundreds of years ago, but abandoned his position instantly to follow the demon. Sesshomaru covets the fang that can kill one hundred men in one swing. He also searches for Naraku to get revenge for being tricked.

Role Play Sample:
"Lord Sesshomaru! Look what I found!" the cheery human girl called out as she ran to his side. She opened the palm of her hand to reveal a makeshift bouquet of field flowers.
The demon stared down at her without expression, and before anything else could happen, Jaken spoke up. "Silly girl, Lord Sesshomaru does not like such frilly things like flowers!" he shrieked.
"I wasn't asking you, Master Jaken," she told him coldly before turning her eyes back up to her Lord.
"Go play, Rin."
She smiled and curled her fingers back around the stems before skipping ahead, Jaken following while mumbling in irritation at her antics. He had been lucky Sesshomaru's foot didn't meet his face. It would have, had the dog demon not been thinking of other things. There was a smell of something odd in the air; nothing bad nor good, but strange. It smelled like salt water and apples, and he knew there was no body of water save for the fresh-water stream running throughout the forest. No, not water.
Tears.
"Such a weak display of a weak person," he spoke, walking forward and easily gaining lead of Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un. Showing tears was like surrendering the heart (that thing -- it was weak and useless, too) to the body. Pathetic.

Abilities:
* Poison Claw: Sesshomaru's claws release deadly acidic poison which can melt flesh. Sometimes he uses it like InuYasha uses his Sankon Tessō attack, but he can also use it to spray venomous acid from his fingertips.
* Whip of Light: Can generate a thin whip-like strand of energy from his fingertips that can slice through almost anything.
* Dragon Strike: It is his signature move but it is mainly seen in the movies (three times in the third and twice in the fourth). It's strength is comparable to his brothers Bakuryuuha (Backlash Wave). The Dragon Strike takes on the form of a dragon-like lighting by Sesshomaru waving his sword in the air and from there it takes form. He can also put it in the ground which allows him break an enemy's barrier. Unlike the Wind Scar or Backlash Wave, however, this attack is born of Sesshomaru's own power rather than that of a sword, as he is seen using it with both the Tokijin and Tenseiga in the third movie.
* Flight: Ability to hover in the sky or generate a sparkling dust cloud to ride on.
* Super Speed: Ability to move at blinding speed in short bursts, Sesshomaru can move faster than the eye can see, both on land and through the air. When he does this in the anime, he leaves behind a fast-moving blur. He can also instantaneously close long distances without being detected by others.
* Super Strength: Sesshomaru possesses physical strength far beyond that of a normal demon; he was able to easily lift InuYasha by the throat into the air with one hand in one of their earlier encounters. In addition, Sesshomaru was seen carrying the boulder-sized demon head of Goshinki in one hand with little to no effort. In the InuYasha profiles manga, Rumiko stated that Sesshomaru has Herculean strength, even with only one arm; his strength with only one arm is double that of InuYasha's full strength; InuYasha's strength allows him to lift a 9 to 10 ton boulder using one arm with little effort, so Sesshomaru would naturally be capable of lifting double that or far more with the same amount of effort.
* Teleportation: Ability to morph into a ball of energy and move over great distances over a short amount of time.
* Psionics: Though Sesshomaru's psionic capabilities have never been specifically quantified, he has demonstrated powerful feats of both telepathy and telekinesis in both the anime and manga. Examples of such being his ability to mentally levitate and fling skulls at InuYasha and Kagome in the anime's 7th episode; as well as his ability to overwhelm Goshinki's powerful telepathic aura in order to claim Tokijin as his own.
* Taiyōkai: As the descendent of a great dog demon lord, naturally Sesshōmaru is a far superior yōkai with heightened senses, intelligence and strength. While he appears to be an elf-eared human bearing splendid clothing and armor most of the time; he can transform into his true form at will, which is that of a gigantic acid-breathing flying canine with fluffy white fur.
* Immortality: Being a demon, Sesshomaru does not suffer from old age the way humans do. He appears to be a young man in his 20s, however he has been around for at least a few hundred years.
* Regeneration: An ability that allows Sesshomaru to seemly replace limbs lost in battle and recover from similar severe damage. This ability was obtained once Sesshomaru found the necessary strength to summon Bakusaiga, he not only regrew his lost limb but healed from sever wounds inflicted earlier.
Weapons:
* Mokomoko: on Sesshomaru's shoulder can stretch to long distances. He uses every once in a while, he once used its to grab InuYasha. It can be extended to great lengths and used to whip or constrict people.
* Tenseiga : the Tenseiga can revive the dead and heal the living. It does this by letting Sesshomaru see the pall-bearer demons that take away the souls of the dead so that he may destroy them with Tenseiga. It usually does not show this happening. In extreme cases, the Tenseiga also protects Sesshomaru from potential lethal attacks. When in use, the Tenseiga has a blue aura. It was another of the swords fashioned by Totosai from InuYasha's and Sesshomaru's father's fangs. But it doesn't quench Sesshomaru's thirst for power from Tetsusaiga.
* Tokijin : Sesshomaru also wields the sword Tokijin, crafted by the evil sword smith Kaijin-bō from the fangs of Goshinki. It can fire off extremely powerful blasts of pure hate energy and is thought to be Tetsusaiga's equal. There are two different ways of using it. One is to extend your arm and point it at your opponent to blow them back and injure them with a powerful pinkish-purple aura. The other way is to slash with it releasing a powerful wave of blue energy.
Role Play Sample:

The demon stared down at her without expression, and before anything else could happen, Jaken spoke up. "Silly girl, Lord Sesshomaru does not like such frilly things like flowers!" he shrieked.

Tears.
"Such a weak display of a weak person," he spoke, walking forward and easily gaining lead of Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un. Showing tears was like surrendering the heart (that thing -- it was weak and useless, too) to the body. Pathetic.
