Masaaki Hiei

Hiei stands at 5'10'', weighing 125 LBS, which is considered a good weight-height combination for a man of his age and stature. He is not too buff, going more to the lean side, focusing his body growth on tone more instead of size. As such, he looks somewhat skinny, though in fact, under those clothing, he holds a well-defined body with curves at all the right places. He has a fair skin complexion and surprisingly, his body holds very little scars, those most visible being places covered by cloth.

One distinctive part of his appearance would be his hair. It is long, his tails reaching mid-way down his neck and the rest of his hair increasing in volume as it goes upwards, thus causing it to stick out, giving him a sort of messy yet mysterious look. However, that is not what makes it so distinctive. What does, however, is the crimson-dyed streaks that is scattered all over his hair. This gives it the illusion of blood being splattered on a black wall.

Another distinctive part of his appearance would be his red eyes. His eyes are naturally, and not only that, but the shade of red is almost similar to that of freshly shed blood. Once more, another part of Hiei's appearance reminds his company his affinity with blood and death. Despite the somewhat bright color, Hiei's eyes give off a pretty cold look, making him a lot less approachable than he already is.

Other than that, he is pretty attractive, his face heart-shaped, pimple-less and wrinke-less. He has a straight nose. One could never tell the number of times it had been broken before. He also has thin dark red lips that gives Hiei a lot of emotions and expressions to work with.

• Raven Fists
  

  A pair of onyx gloves created from black steel, a material that his assassin clan had harvested and made use of, the Raven Fists is the most commonly used weapon by Hiei, for it is the weapon that he equips whenever he rides into battle. Being a professional martial artist, these gloves are made even more lethal in his arms. With every punch, swipe, back hand or even a mere slap, Hiei would have the ability to draw the blood of his enemies. Also, with the blades attached, Hiei is able to parry incoming blades and other weapons.
  
  Strength: Due to its lack of extension, it is easy for Hiei to control this weapon. He is able to pull the weapon back and parry blow after blow with ease, as there is no extra weight or leverage to work with. Also, it allows for other functions like grabbing.
  
  Weakness: Simply, its lack of reach. As it does not offer any extension of sorts, Hiei has to really get up close and person to strike his opponents. Such is a difficulty indeed, especially in a large battle when the enemies would have supports standing right beside him.

  
  
  
• Heikage
  

  And this is Hiei's signature sword, left behind to him by the only man that he had considered a friend, Aza. The blade, like the rest of his weapons, are made from black steel, though this blade has been fortified and hardened with diamond, a wonder that only Aza has been able to achieve in the clan. This was his last work before dying, and has become a precious weapon for the assassin. As a result, he barely draws it to draw the blood of mere pawns, instead taking it out only when someone of challenge appears in front of him. The sword is about 4 feet long, with the hilt and guard making up 1 feet of the total length.
  
  Strength: Unlike the Raven Fist, this weapon has reach. It is also both hard and sharp at the same time, having the capability to cut even diamonds, as its edge is made up of the same material. Due to its color too, it would be hard to judge the position and reach of the weapon in shadow.
  
  Weakness: A sword will simply be a sword. It still has limited reach and an even more limited amount of functions. Parry, slash, stab, it is difficult to use against spear-users and also on horse-back. Plus, it takes up one of Hiei's hands, hampering then his martial arts abilities.

  
  
  
• Death and Despair
  

  Death and Despair, Hiei's twin short swords, a weapon that Hiei uses for assassination campaigns, for it is those times that Hiei would have to make quick and quiet kills. The length of the weapon allows Hiei to move it around in limited space, but also gives him the space to kill an opponent without making himself visible. Sharp, thin and light, it can cut or stab deep into the bodies of his victims. And it also has the potential to be thrown at enemies in short distances. Also made up of black steel. The blades are a feet long, with the hilt and guard being half of that. The metal studs at the end of the hilt allows for hard blunt hitting action.
  
  Strength: Light, flimsy and easy to use, Hiei is able to pick off guards and targets swiftly and quietly, with a simple slice or stab at vital areas. Also, as it is black, it makes it hard t see the weapons coming at you in the shadow of night.
  
  Weakness: It does not have much reach and is thus rendered useless when it comes to head-to-head combat. Though he still has the capability to fight, his skills will not be as efficient as when holding Heikage, or having just the Raven Fists. These weapons were made with the use of assassination in mind.

  
  
  

Simple

The standard attire of an assassin from Hiei's clan, the Kougu. It does not hold much defensive armor, save the metal shoulder pads that protect the arms, for the Kougu believe them to be a man's strongest weapons. Usually, a black or white scarf is worn around the neck, depending on the rank of the assassin involved, but in Hiei's case, he clads a red scarf, another keepsake of his old friend, Aza. He wears a simple brown tunic then, with a red line running down vertically, the mark being as wide as his neck. Around his waist, Hiei wears a large brown leather belt that then holds the hilts of Death and Despair.

Heikage is then kept on his back, the sheathe strapped onto his right shoulder pad and the left side of his belt, with Death and Despair sheathed in a cross pattern behind his back, the hilt sticking out just a bit. Following that is a pair of black loose pants that allow for easy and quick movement, and finally, a pair of black leather boots, the pants tucked into the footwear. The boots are made of soft leather, allowing traverse in all kinds of terrain.

On his right hand, Hiei wears that runs down to his wrist, though is mostly not seen due to his Raven Fists. His left arm is open, though, covered not by any sleeve.
