CHARACTER
» Name: Bang Shishigami
» Fandom: BlazBlue
» Reference:
» Canon Point: After the ending of Calamity Trigger, following the continuity presented in Continuum Shift.
» Gender: Male, inside and out.
» Age: 28 (approx.), mentally...let’s go with around 20.
» Orientation: Heterosexual.
Bang is the kind of man who wants to take a wife and settle down. He’s hopelessly infatuated with Miss. Litchi and fantasizes about confessing his love and marrying her. It also happens that boobs, or lack thereof, is one of the first things he notices about a woman. Even hearing Tao go on about how she enjoys fondling Miss. Litchi’s boobs turns Bang on enough to give him a particularly severe nosebleed.
It’s conceivable that he could be bi-curious, in Continuum Shift he offers, and then insists a male manager of a restaurant “take his body as payment” when he takes Taokaka out for food but drops his wallet along the way. It’s a good question why that of all things in the world was the first form of barter Bang could come up with, but he is subsequently relived when Carl appears and fronts his mentor the money to pay for the meal.
Men obviously don’t turn Bang on the same way a woman with ample assets would, considering he’s hardly subtle when he’s aroused. He may not be opposed or bigoted against homosexuality, but that would be more a facet of his generally accepting personality and a firm security of his heterosexuality.
» Personality:
Bang exhibits the paragon of a man of PURE HEART AND SOUL. He is a man of loyalty, faith, justice and love.
As a matter of fact, he would love to tell you all about it. He’s a very showy person, a character right out of a classic Samauri Drama combined with your typical weekly Shonen Retard hero. But he’s a good guy. He sincerely believes in truth and righteousness, and as so he avails to act as morally right as possible. He will not kill his enemies, he does not lie, and he will strive to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. His master had a saying Bang lives by, “Don’t blame the criminal, blame the crime.” It basically means fight the evil, not harm individuals in the name of justice.
He will always put others before himself, and sets no limit on the odds he will face. He will even relent and put forth effort to safe the life of his mortal enemy, a man he could almost kill for murdering Bang’s Lord. He doesn’t always want to do the right thing, but in the end he does what he knows he should.
Aside from his ethics, he’s a few crayons short of a full box. He’s generally pretty clueless and he runs his mouth so much you have to wonder if he even listens to himself. He has a tendency to narrate his own life, employing ridiculously purple prose and he verbally announces his actions such as muttering the word “Thud” as he collapses to the ground. He’s also a bit childish and can be careless enough to act like a jerk sometimes. He has a tendency to argue, he’ll come up with ridiculous explanations for his behavior to save face, and he runs away if he screws up really badly and someone else can fix it. It makes him seem really flakey compared to the heroic image he wants to project.
He tends to project his own worldview onto others, and fails to grasp things such as complex motives. He jumps to conclusions and never seeks clarification. On the other hand, he really doesn’t listen to other people, or take cues to determine their real motives. He also fails to understand when his opinions or actions could offend people, like the way he would never understand if people got upset that he spanked someone else’s child for misbehaving. He would assume it was his responsibility as an adult to enforce an appropriate amount of discipline so the young person could grow up to be a healthy, happy, ethical human being.
He doesn’t really get the concept of “boundaries” when righteousness or justice, or outright protecting people he cares for comes into play. All he really wants to do is care after people, and he takes his role as “Boss” within the community of Ronin-Gai very seriously and with a great deal of pride.
He’s also a very nurturing person, and encourages others to do their best. He’s very affectionate and doting with Carl and Taokaka, fellow vigilantes who he took as his disciples but really treats more like his own kids. It’s also worth mentioning that for as bumbling as he may be when it comes to social interaction, he’s actually a very good ninja, and Bang earns the respect of several powerful warriors though his tenacity, resolve, and ability to pull a fast one on the resident Big Bad to get his disciples to safety. He is also particularly perceptive when it comes to sensing another’s presence, and he is usually able to conceal his own until that manly passion of his gets the better of him.
He’s a hopeless romantic when it comes to the woman he adores, Doctor Litchi. His love is a passion that could shake the earth, if only Bang wasn’t reduced to a stammering pile of boneless goo every time he gets the chance to talk to her. He’s also very jealous, and will rudely insert himself into the conversation if guys try to talk to her. He fails to see that his love is completely unrequited.
» Appearance:
Image!
Bang is a healthy and sturdy man. He has a very muscular body which he displays with a very revealing outfit compromised of a little vest thingy with sleeves, pants with gaps down the sides and even the strap of his fundoshi shows. He has blazing orange eyes, a mane of unruly brown hair in a ponytail and a very emotionally significant X-shaped scar across the bridge of his nose. He wears a long red scarf that somehow holsters the giant nail he carries around, and he wears armor in the form of weighted gauntlets, high-heeled grieves and a very Rider-eqsue belt. Under his scarf he wears a dark colored band around his neck that will serve as his collar in Atia.
» Suitability: Bang is old, and thus is automatically suitable!

What is this thing? Some sort of communication device...thingy?
[You can hear Bang rattling the device around as he looks it over and starts pressing buttons. After a moment the video clicks on and you can see the person speaking. It’s some kind of scruffy looking man.]
Hello? Can anyone see this?
[Bang is satisfied that someone can, and he sets the communicator down and backs up to where he’s mostly in the frame. Hands on his hips, he flashes a smile of satisfaction at the camera. Then his expression turns serious.]
Well then. I assume the people here are either captors or captives, and when I inquired to the help I was told I was brought here by the “hospitality” of a woman who they call “Goddess Atia”.
Well no Goddess I know of would bring innocent people to such a sordid and vulgar place such as this!!
I, BANG SHISHIGAMI, THE PROTECTOR OF KAGUTSUCHI AND DEFENDER OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE WILL NOT LET THIS TRANSGRESSION LIE.
The demon responsible for bringing me here may have made by body weak and suppressed my technique, but no such villain will crush my spirit!!
If you are indeed captives of this woman, pawns for wicked intentions then fear not, for I will defend everyone who would rise to take a stand against this wench!!
Is there anyone else on this island who wishes to be free? Then let your voice be heard!
[Such a fiery personality on this one!]

“Oh, Miss Litchi! You truly are a goddess!”
Bang murmured as he started to stir in his bed, emerging from the hold of sleep with a smile on his face. He felt both sated and refreshed, which was a welcome change from the last thing he remembered, which was being thrown from an explosion. He also had the most wonderful dream. He couldn’t recall the details, so he assumed it was about a honeymoon with Miss. Litchi. Oh to sample the sweet nectar of his beloved’s womanly fruit...
Bang’s eyes shot open and he bolted upright. “What a terribly lewd thing to be imagining regarding a virtuous, respected woman like Miss. Litchi!” Bang chided himself out loud, rubbing the blood away from his nose and composing himself amid the bedding. His hand came up sticky when he scratched his stomach and his face twisted in disgust. A shameful and adolescent reaction for a man and hero such as Bang Shishigami, the ninja was starting to feel quite petulant about his own behavior.
Then he realized something was amiss, greater than any lapse in composure and decorum. This was not his bedroom! This wasn’t even Ronin-Gai! In fact, given the placid ocean in view from his window, this was no place in the world that Bang knew. Anything even remotely close to sea-level would be covered in the deadly gas known as Seither in his world.
Possibilities leaped into his mind. Perhaps he had been kidnapped to some miraculous place where the Black Beast’s poison hadn’t touched. If such a place even existed, people would surely hear rumors... Maybe he developed a sudden case of involuntary time slipping and was plummeted into the distant past? No, that was ridiculous; Bang never got sick. Maybe he was still dreaming. Yes, that had to be it. He relaxed back into the bed.
Obviously his moral fiber wouldn’t allow him to continue to dream something so offensive, so it preserved Bang’s honor and plunged him into a dream where he woke up from dreaming about such inappropriate things. Bang made a face. Was he dreaming up or down? Inside or out? It was a greater thought than he was willing to confront, and with a snort he pulled himself out of bed.
Dream or no, he was currently very naked and he should put some clothes on, he figured. As he started across the room, he tripped on a lose rug and stubbed his toe.
“OW! Damnit! I should be more careful when I dream, that hurt.” He grimaced and rubbed the offended digit. “Wait a minute...” Something started to dawn on him. “In a dream the dreamer feels no pain, but that was painful!” He pinched himself. That hurt. He slapped himself. That hurt too. He placed one hand on the top of the dresser and brought down the other hand upon it as hard as he could.
That really hurt. Rubbing his hand, he looked around his surroundings with apprehension.
“That would mean... This isn’t some kind of dream? But how did I get here? What is this strange place?” Bang grabbed for his clothing, suddenly feeling very exposed and vulnerable. He was also starting to feel more than a little angry. If someone was playing some kind of trick on him, he would be sure they would regret it.
