His father, a former member of the Imperial Army, had carried his arms home when he came to his wife, including his old nodachi. Guren was fascinated with the blade and wished one day to use it himself. His days on the farm were generally comprised of carrying around sacks of crops and chasing away wild animals, but Guren practiced using a sword where he could, wishing to get strong enough to use his father's blade one day. He was so confident that, as a youth of twelve years, when a traveling swordsman who plied his trade by killing Shiryo despite lacking a Gnosis, he challenged the man to a fight. The traveling swordsman, of course, easily trounced the young Todoroki using sword arts of his own, but was impressed by his passion and sheer strength; despite vastly outmatching Todoroki, the young farmboy had almost broken the swordsman's guard through wild swings propelled by sheer strength alone. The swordsman revealed himself as Hitoshi Tokiwa, younger brother of the current scion of the Tokiwa school of martial arts, and offered to take Todoroki on as his apprentice. The youth agreed, and after saying his farewells, Todoroki accompanied his master back to Amatsu to train. The training was long and hard, but Todoroki was remarkably fast at picking up the blade. In particular, he trained alongside a young man called Yusuke, who he noted was close to his master, but never quite understood how. He could never, however, convince Hitoshi to teach him the technique he had used against him and the Shiryo, the Sunrise Dance, no matter how much he practiced or begged. One day, his arrogance grew, and he demanded one more fight from Hitoshi to prove his mettle; if Todoroki won, he would be taught how to use the Sunrise Dance. His master, exasperated, simply agreed, with the caveat that if Todoroki lost, he would be sent to train until he mastered the Sunrise Dance on his own, without Hitoshi to teach him. Despite the young man now being far taller and broader than his master, and far more skilled than he had once been, Todoroki lost once more. With his defeat, Hitoshi sent him back to Seito to train in the swamps, to temper his heat and arrogance. While at first, Todoroki was angered, as he trained in the swamps of Seito, slaying predators and fighting bandits when he could, one incident finally made Todoroki understand somewhat of how to master the blade. A Shiryo, larger and tougher than any he had seen his master slay, had appeared to accost his family, who had heard he had returned to Seito. Todoroki leapt to their defence, fighting the beast despite it blocking his blows, as he brought all of his skills and strength to bear, but it was no use, as the beast easily trumped him, broke his blade and even tore out his eye. Drawn to the very limit of his abilities, Todoroki had a moment of pure realisation. Picking up his broken blade, Todoroki created in that moment a new sword art, a version of Hitoshi's Sunrise Dance adapted to Todoroki's own strength and reach, and cut down the Shiryo. He found that as he landed the killing blow, his sword set alight, and in his hand, during the battle, a Flamma Gnosis had appeared. After spending a night with his family, where his father gifted him his nodachi to replace the one that broke in the fight with the Shiryo, Todoroki set out once more to Amatsu, fighting his way through Shiryo and challengers alike to hone his skills and become the best swordsman in the Five Kingdoms, hoping one day to once again fight- and this time surpass- his master Hitoshi. Appearance Notes: Todoroki generally remains shirtless outside of a shoulder guard on his left shoulder. Across his back, a complex irezumi of a crocodile lunging out of a river is visible. His forearms, lower legs and feet are covered in crocodilian scutes, and he possesses a crocodile tail as a mark of his Misaki blood. He also wears a simple hakama and sandals for lower body wear; his Flamma Gnosis is tied to a sash around his waist.
