Phew, alright, well, I'm new to writing stories. The story that I am currently writing just came to me one day while I was taking a shower. Maybe it has to do with all the anime and manga I've seen, or something else. Oh well, anyways, I hope to do well with my story and will keeping writing. I would like if I got some tips from fellow writers, it would be greatly appreciated.

Throughout his entire life, he has been raised by his caretaker, Fukuro, and never told about his real parents. Being a bold, confident, caring, and hopeful character, he often makes his own decisions off of his own instincts and also tries to help others around him see through all of their pain and try to find their last bit of faith left in themselves. He promises others and himself to eliminate the Osore Knights, Alpha members, and Zeta as he journeys throughout the world of Avalon, looking for answers to his past and future events to come. He uses a sword that was passed onto him by Fukuro during his last moments. It is rumored to be a sword of fate and has the word "Hope" engraved on the blade near the handle.

At the end of the day, he always somehow knows when to enter the scene and saves someone. He also has a hidden ability that was only shared within his clan, Shippu, to be able to control the flight of weapons, both speed and direction, and able to create weapons from air, but wastes a ton of energy.
