Makoto Shishio
Alias:
Shishi-o sama (Lord Shishi-o, by the JG members).
Looks:
I can't say he's a beauty, though this is not his
fault. His skin and flesh were burnt in a point of
his life by the hands of the ones he was working
for, and it ruined his outlook permanently to such a
point, that Shishi-o has to be 100% of the time with
his body wrapped in bandages. However, this didn't
ruin his penetrant black eyes, where you can see the
great determination of his soul.
Smarts:
Higher than anyone in the series. He's very
political-minded and devious, matching with
ingenious and charisma. You possibly won't find
yourself with someone as cunning as Shishi-o in your
whole life.
Personality:
He's the best villain in the RK deparment, IMHO,
even surpassing Enishi. This man is determined to
conquer the Japanese islands and he has the charm,
will and intelligence enough to cut it off. Also
he's one of the few bad guys who can even recognize
his own errors and don't blame them on the boogie.
Cooking
- Home economics:
He has been hiring out, but I think he'll handle out
himself here if it's EXTREMELY needed. Otherwise he
may just order another one to do it for him.
Fighting
skills:
Deadly. In the Bakumatsu he was the only one able to
openly go and defy the skills of the Battousai, so
he was chosen as his replacement -- and we know what
happened. His most powerful trick is his "Homura
Dama", which combinates his swordsman skills
with the heat of the flames. His only flaw, which
proved to be fatal for him, is the fact of his
limited stamina. If he keeps fighting for more than
15 minutes, he'll end up burning. Literally.
Special
ablilities:
He has somewhat of a... "magnetic" aura
amongst some of his peers, in a way that Kamatari,
Yumi and Houji are directly willing to kill and let
themselves be killed for him and his beliefs. Asides
of it, as Jitou said, he has an incredible survival
rant. Pioneer and master of the "how-to-survive-in-the-pyro-flame-for-being-a-menace-and-get-with-it-and-more"
technique.
Competition:
Sadoshima Houji, Kamatari Honjou, Komagata Yumi.
Houji admires the man with a fanatism that borders
in the same point as Enishi's, but of the three, I
think he'd be the weakest opposition. However,
Kamatari and Yumi are gonna be much more of a
headache: the first will undoubtedly be a continuous
annoyance to you like he is right now to Yumi due to
his huge crush on "Shishi-o sama" (which
can turn him to a very kawaii teenager whenever he
considers the possibility of gaining his favor); the
latter, undoubtedly, will do anything in her power
(from in-fighting to sexual prowess) to regain
Shishi-o's interest. Believe me she has the... uh...
"weapons" and "resources" to do
it.
In-Laws:
None known asides the JG, who are gonna be dangerous
whether you ARE a real danger to them or not. You've
been warned yet about Yumi, Houji and Kamatari; Anji,
Hennya and Cho aren't really going to do something
to hurt you, while you don't provoke them; Usui
undoubtly will cheerfully kill you if it serves to
his goal; Iwanbo isn't even likely gonna see you
around; and Soujiro will, as I said before in Yumi's
MP, just smile and say "I've figured yet
out" (but dun underestimate him).
Economics:
Unknown. Most likely, he'll manage himself good with
his money (he seems to be a fair amount of savings)
and will earn more as he gets into Yakuza businesses
and the like. If he asks you to handle them,
however, be careful.
Sex:
Uh... If you don't mind about his burning flesh (Yumi
didn't at least), Shishi-o will be an extraordinary
lover, though a very dominating one. He's clearly a
man of strong desires and expect him to get from you
all he sexually wants.
Overall:
Risky in himself. Like all the men of his
personality and type, you may find yourself killed
or dominated in every way by him. So, PLEASE, avoid
him if you think you can't keep up with ALL his
antics AND the burning flesh thingy, ne?
