Powers And Abilities
Strengths:
Samurai: Being a samurai,ZuraKatsura uses a Katana and is a highly skilled swordsman. He has been trained to fight since a very young age and knows his way around the battlefield. He is also said to have the speed of a ninja.
Terrorist: Katsura is the leader of a quite large terrorist group, known as the Joui. Nowadays, he is trying to steer the group away from violent acts, and instead wants to try and change things through contacts and more peaceful methods. He is also a bomb specialist, and is extremely good at gathering information on a variety of people.
Intelligent: Katsura is smarter than he lets on. He is crafty, plans ahead, and can be very creative. He will use strange things as weapons, or disguise everyday objects as bombs. His plans often seem to make no sense, until the end, where it all (usually, sometimes, maybe, hopefully) comes together.
Master of Disguise: Katsura lovesdressing himself updisguising himself and will use any excuse to do so. From a simple moustache to a Super Mario costume, or a pirate (Captain Katsura); even a pine tree. He also makes a gorgeous woman. It is extremely convenient that his costumes pop up out of nowhere.
Weaknesses:
Name:ZuraKatsura has a name complex. He is incredibly annoyed when he is called anything other than Katsura, and will correct them every single time with "xxx ja nai, Katsura da!" ("It's not xxx, it's Katsura!")
Imagination: Katsura has a bit of an overactive imagination. He really gets into the dramatic stories he makes up, even if they sometimes don't make much sense, and has been seen talking to inanimate objects.
Why so serious?: He is a man who takes everything seriously. Though that means dedication to his job and his cause, usually it doesn't end too well.
Disguise: Though he is creative with his disguises, he often makes a slip and gives himself away. One of the most common mistakes he makes is reveal his name, annoyed that someone called him something other than "Katsura."
Old fashioned: He finds it rather difficult to get with the times and has a rather outdated sense of humour. Obviously, this means he is also not good with technology. And let's not even bring fashion into this.
Human and squishy: Despite being a talented warrior, Katsura is only human. He can be wounded and can die just like any other person.
Weapons And Equipment:
Sword: Katsura carries his katana everywhere with him.[/size]
Bombs: He he always equipped with different bombs, in all shapes and forms. That includes flash bombs and smoke bombs.
Random stuff: He tends to carry random things with him, which sometimes prove to be useful, and sometimes not. An example is curry plates he used for fighting ninjas. The curry was poisoned, so that even when they ate it, it gave them a really bad stomach.
Personal Information
Personality:
Katsura is a strange mixture of intelligence and stupidity. While he is very clever, he lacks common sense, which makes him seem like a moron on occasion.
He is an incredibly persistent man, who does not back down easily. No matter how impossible his ideals are, he will not give up and will constantly, honourably fight for them. Strangely enough, he is a charismatic leader and commands great respect from his followers.
Katsura believes in leading a simple life. He likes simple meals, as he says that things like chocolate parfait and strawberry milk weaken the body and the spirit.
Serious. If there's one word to describe this man, that's it. Katsura is a very serious man, who takes everything seriously, to the point where it's comical. He is the "straight" character of the series.
History:
In his childhood Katsura and his friends Gintoki and Takasugi, were classmates under the same tutelage of Yoshida Shouyou. After their beloved mentor was murdered, they rose up as the last warriors of the Joui Patriots, fighting against aliens (Amanto) invading their country.
They fought bravely in the Joui War, but in the end of a battle Katsura and Gintoki found themselves outnumbered and injured. Katsura suggested that they should commit seppuku and die with honour, but Gintoki refused, claiming that they should instead live their lives until the end with honour. Agreeing with him, Katsura and his friend charged towards the enemies together, and survived to tell the tale.
After the Joui War, the three classmates went different paths as Katsura continued his activities fighting against the government. He can often be found doing odd jobs for money, as terrorism doesn't exactly pay.
